<TITLE>02. Par 5-9</TITLE>L-5 And another thing, the books are not for commercial; they're to try to help somebody. The boys sells the tapes down there. And here some time ago, I checked up on the boys, Gene and Leo. Gene's my tape boy; Leo is my field secretary. And they have records and tapes, and I checked those boys myself to see what price they're selling those tapes for, 'cause I bought a tape from a--an evangelist. It cost me around six dollars. Then I... They're getting two dollars and something for them. So I seen what they paid for them, and they're just a... Barely a little margin's all they make. And they get (I told them) get the best tape they could get, and they use it on Scotch tape. They have those tapes--any message or anything...

L-6 And now, sometimes... I want to make this clear. Now every man has his own idea; we have your own doctrine. When I'm out here in this interdenominational, I try to hold it to the great fundamental, evangelical doctrines, because of other ministering brother. And I want the ministering brothers to know this: Sometimes in my own church, I preach my own convictions about things. Now, in there... There's many people takes the tapes, and sometimes they get out.
Now, I would not want to push anything that I believed over on anybody, just a little something that I had in my own mind, and thought it was this a way. And if I didn't teach it the way I thought it, I'd be a hypocrite. So I'll just leave that part alone, and go preach what I know that the rest of them agrees with (You see?) and go on.

L-7 But now, if you happen to get a hold--some of your members, brother, get a hold of a tape that come from my church, upon something that you might not agree with me, please don't fall out with me about it. I'm your brother; I--I love you, and I--I don't mean for them to get out. But you can't help it when there's twenty or thirty taking tapes and everything. See? And so, we try to curb it the very best we can. The church took it upon themselves, the foundation, to--to try to hold the boys alone when they're taking tapes on my meetings.
And so, I am here to cooperate, to make it one big body of Jesus Christ. That's all. And after all, the great fundamental part of it is repentance, and baptism, and faith towards God, salvation, Divine healing. And I think all of us can agree upon that (See?), upon those things.

L-8 Now, the approach to it sometime, I might have a little different angle, but I think like this one time: I was at my work at Jeffersonville; I was working for the Public Service Company. And there was a--a Mr. Bohannan; the superintendent was a past Master Mason. I was a Baptist preacher; Reverend Arnie Clegg from the Maple Street Methodist Church come in, and then in come Father Halpin, the Catholic priest.
Well, can I quote what he said? All right, he said, "We should start a crap game; we're all here." Catholic priest said that.

L-9 And so, then he done something, though, that--that started something rolling in my heart. He said on there... He drawed three lines. He said, "Here's the Pennsylvania going down; Billy," (That was me.) said, "will go down on that line. And here's another one, the Southern," said, "Mr. Clegg here will go down on that line. Here's another one over here," said, "Just stay on your line, just as long as they're pointing towards Heaven."
I thought that was pretty good for a priest. And he said, "Stay on your line." And that's right. As long as you're converted and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, just keep moving on with all your heart, and He will lead you in the Light. I believe that with all that's in me.
