<TITLE>16. Par 54-57</TITLE>L-54 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... nothing, she'd sold her house, and she had sold all she had, and--and all of her goods, and she was on starvation. And so, the--the county come up to investigate the case. She wasn't old enough yet to draw the old age pension, so they just come up to investigate the case. And they--she said--they said, "Well, lady, do--don't you have any relatives?"
She said, "Yes, I have one of the most precious boys."
"Well," said, "where is he at?"
Said, "He's in India."
"Oh, over in India. What does he do over there?"
Say, "He's a business man."
"A business man in India?"
Said, "Yeah," said, "he's a darling boy." Said, "He's a business man." And said, "Doesn't he ever send you any help?"
Said, "No, he doesn't."
Said, "Don't you ever hear from him?"
Said, "I hear from him all the time." And said, "He sends me prettiest pictures I ever seen." But said, "I--I--He never sends me any money." And said, "That poor darling boy must be just so much burden, that he--that he a--that he just don't know how--he can't send me nothing, because he's so burdened with his business, and yet, he's such a sweet boy. He tells me he's just prospering, and--and how good everything's going on." And said, "But I know, because he don't send me any money, he can't afford to do it. But he sends me some of the prettiest pictures."
And the man said to her, said, "Well, lady, what kind of pictures are they?"
She said, "Oh, I haven't lost a one of them. I got every one of them." Said, "I keep them in my Bible."

L-55 And she went over and pulled out of the Bible about a hundred thousand dollars worth of Indian drafts from the bank. She didn't know what they were. They had pretty pictures on them, but she didn't know what they were. She was a rich woman and didn't know it. She found her treasures in the Bible.
And, brother, let me tell you something tonight. That woman had stuff to eat, clothes to wear; she was rich and didn't know it. And tonight you are rich and don't know it. In the Bible here, maybe hid from your eyes, that God has wrote promises here that'll make you rich in spirit, rich in life. Oh, it'll do things for you that you didn't think would ever be done. Now, they're in here, why not look them up and claim them? They're yours.
Every promise in the Book is mine,
Every chapter, every verse, every line.
I'm trusting in His love Divine,
For every promise in the Book is mine.
Whosoever will let him come and drink from the fountains of the waters of life freely, then we're going to be asked for a reason. What then? You've heard the old song?
What then? What then?
When the last is open. What then?
When the ones that reject the message...
will be asked to give a reason. What then?

L-56 Someday the trumpet will sound for it's last time. The Bible will lay closed on the pulpit. The mimic will make his last act. The sun will be setting in the west, and the arms will be stacked for the last time, and then we will be asked to give a reason for what we have done with these treasures that's been sent to us. It's a Book of treasures. Let us bow our heads, while we think of it.

L-57 Our heavenly Father, the ri--riches of God is sent to us by a letter, a message of the Bible, that the Holy Spirit was ordained of God, our Father, through the Blood of His Son, Jesus, to bring us this message. He is a true witness of Christ, for it is written, "When He, the Holy Ghost, is come, He will bring these things to your remembrance, that in here, remind you, that you've got treasures and riches untold in the pages of this Book."
Not only that, but He will show you things to come. And the works that Christ did, He said the Holy Spirit would do it in us. We're so happy to know these things are true. Now, You said, and it's been written in the Bible, "As many as believed on Him, to them, gave He the power to become sons and daughters of God.
