<TITLE>11. Par 38-40</TITLE>L-38 Mexico City, where we had a great meeting, where the little baby was brought back to life. And there in that great place where we were having the meeting, one of the brothers taken me the next day out to look the city over, which Mexico City is a beautiful place. But what did I find when I got out there? Looking down over the city, some of the most modern architecture I'd ever seen. Oh, they went altogether out. But what it was, they never dug down to find the right foundation. A great percent of Mexico City is either pitched forward; the buildings are backward or sideways. They never went to the rock. No matter how pretty the building looked, it wasn't built solid on the rock.
And when you're starting out for God, don't lay down on some false foundation. Don't lay down on emotions, don't lay down on some creed, but lay your life in the hands of that eternal Foundation, Jesus Christ, that Chief Cornerstone. Then build from then on, no matter how fast or how slow, you got the right foundation. Lay upon Him for He is the only Foundation that's has security. But you are secured in Jesus Christ. As long as you're in Him, you're safe from the storm. He is the only Foundation.

L-39 That was fourthly. Fifthly, He is the only eternal happiness and joy, peace. What more could I say? He is the only eternal joy, eternal happiness, eternal peace. "My peace I give unto you, not as the world give I unto you. Let not your hearts be troubled." He is the only peace and only happiness.
Oh, you might laugh like a loon; you might just go into hysterics over some movie star cracking a joke or something. But what is it? You're only making a noise; it soon wears off. In a few minutes it's all gone. But when a man has come to a place to where he has found the joy that there is of knowing that his sins are forgiven, that he is dead and his life is hid in God through Christ, sealed by the Holy Ghost, it's joy unspeakable and full of glory in the power of eternal God, knowing that you're resting securely in His love and grace. Whether the school keeps or whether it doesn't, what difference does it make? If you...

L-40 I would like to say...?... We'd all like to go back, Brother Sullivan and I, go back to when we were eighteen years old. Sure we would. But what if we could go back to eighteen years old and then, and live five hundred years? Would we not be an antique? Certainly, it'd be better if we went on and lived and got old, and long whiskers and so forth, than live the five hundred years. But we couldn't go back to eighteen years and be... Because we could--we couldn't grow as modern life grows like that. Because the teen-agers of this day wasn't like they was in my day. And the next day it will be the same.
What if tonight if you had perfect health? What if you wasn't a ache or a pain, and yet, and you know that you're--you're a Christian? Yet in this life, just this life alone, you have no satisfaction, no eternal happiness, until you are anchored in Christ.
