<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 The little children waving their flags, and after the king had passed by, why, they all was to return back to school. And all of them returned back. But at a certain school, a little girl was missing. So the teacher, worried, run out into the streets, calling her name, trying to find where she was. And after while she found her leaning her little head up against a telegraph pole, just weeping her little heart out.
And the teacher run up to her, and grabbed her in her arms, and said, "What's the matter, honey? Did you not see the king?"
And she said, "Yes, I saw the king."
Said, "Well, did you not get to wave your flag at him?"
Said, "I waved my flag."
Said, "Well, why are you crying?"
She said, "You see, teacher, I'm little. And I was so little I waved my flag, and I screamed, but," said, "I saw the king, but the king didn't see me." She was too little.

L-5 But you can't do anything too little but what Jesus will see it, no matter where it is, what it is; any little testimony or display of loyalty to Jesus. He knows the sparrow that falls into the street. He knows the very thoughts of the heart. The Bible said that--that He knew the sparrows that fell into the street. And we're so glad to know that, that every little thing that we do, Jesus sees us do it. And He knows the objective and the motive that we have in it, and He will reward us.
One time He said, "Verily, I say unto you, if you give as much as a cup of cold water to one of these, you shall in no wise lose your reward." The little things that we just forget... Don't forget, when you see a cripple on the street, poor, blind, and lame, or halt, instead of having an entertainment for somebody, help him. Jesus said, "I was sick and you didn't visit Me. I was in prison; you didn't visit Me. I was hungry and you didn't feed Me."
"When were we this a way? When did we see You?"
"Insomuch as you have done unto the least of these, you have done it unto Me." Oh, how we should thank our precious Lord Jesus.

L-6 Now, tonight, Brother David does the preaching, and I just have a little--a little something at the end. We haven't give out any prayer cards yet. Is there any sick people here, raise up your hands if there's sick people? We gave them out the other night and then taken them all up. And now, would you like to have a prayer line, then tomorrow night? If you would, raise up your hands, you... I want to see what you all think. If you'd like a prayer line, give out prayer cards, I'll send the boys down to give them out. If you want it, just raise up your hands. All right. All right, we'll have them to give out prayer cards then, tomorrow night again. About six-thirty is that when you give it? Six-thirty. All right. That'll be fine.

L-7 I wish you would turn in the Scriptures, if you have your Bible handy, and turn to the 4th chapter of Saint Matthew. Let's read just a moment together, the 16th and 17th verses.
And the people which sat in darkness saw great light; And to them that sat in the region and shadow of death, light sprang up.
From that time, Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
I want to take the first three words of the 17th chapter: "From That Time," those three words, "From That Time," for a little thought for just a few moments.
You know, as a little boy or girl (a child), some things happens that we can point back and say, "From that time..." such-and-such a thing, we did. Such-and-such a thing taken place, and from that time it was thus-and-thus.
And maybe, the immoral woman, could say something like this, "I was a virtuous girl. I was raised in a strict Christian home, by a godly father and mother. And I was just as pure as a lily, until one night I took a ride with a certain boy. And we drove up to a dance hall, and from that time..." You always relate back to sometime something happened.
