<TITLE>26. Par 97-100</TITLE>L-97 And I looked pressing through the crowd, and here come my own darling wife. She died when she was twenty-two. And here she comes, Billy's mother. And she come up. I said, "She'll call me her husband."
She was making her way through the women, waving at me like that. I could see those black eyes just a shining. (She was a German girl.) She run up and threw her arms around me. She said, "My darling brother."
And there'd been a real pretty woman standing there, just put her arms around me and said, "Our precious brother."
And then Hope, she put her arm (That was my wife.)--she put her arm around this other woman; she said, "Isn't it wonderful? He's with us now."
I said, "I--I don't understand this." I said, "I--I--I can't under..."

L-98 And these men picked me up, and set me up on a great big high place, and set me down. And they were praising God, none of them kissing me, just embracing me and saying, "Brother, our precious brother."
And I looked and people was coming from everywhere. And I said, "What is this?"
And that voice now, from no one, the same voice that had spoke in the room is still with me. He said, "This is perfect love."
And I've always taught: The evidence of the Holy Ghost is perfect love. See? I believe in speaking in tongues, sure. "But though I speak with tongue in men and angels and have not charity, I am nothing--become a sounding brass and tinkling cymbal." So, when you speak with tongues and got love with it, that'll show you.

L-99 And the love that we would have here would be like starting here from a shadow, of the shadow, of the shadows, into the shadow. And from the shadow to a mist, and to a little moisture, and into a creek, into a river, and then into the ocean. That's where it arrive at there, just perfect, everything. You couldn't die; you couldn't be in sin. Oh, I never... I--I'll never be able to explain what that place was. See? It--it--it just... It was just perfect, beyond perfect. And just then, there was a...
I said, "I--I don't understand what this is."
And a real beautiful woman run up and she said, "Oh, my precious brother," she said, "I'm so happy you've arrived."
And she turned off, and I looked at her, and I thought, "My, how everybody's so pretty and so young and so..." And I said, "What is this?"
And that voice said, "In here all resemblance of old age and everything is brought back to perfection."

L-100 See, we eat food till we get to a certain age. When I was sixteen, I'd eat the sa... Let science answer this from me: I eat the same food when I was sixteen years old, I eat now: beans, bread, potatoes, meat. And every time I eat, I renew my life. Anybody knows, that makes blood cells, and that's how we come here. And now... A doctor setting here would know the same. Then I got stronger, bigger all the time. And when I got about twenty-two (you also), I still eat the same food, and getting older and weaker all the time, putting new life in my body.
Explain to me, scientists. If I'm pouring water out of a jug into a glass, and when it gets half full, I keep pouring more and it keeps going down. Scientifically, tell me about that. What it is? It's an appointment that God made. When you get that age, He's got you just where He wants you, and say, "Come on death; set in." Ask science if you don't start dying after you're about twenty-two years old. No matter how good you eat, you're dying, walking right away. It will finally... Death's on your track right then. But you're growing till you get up that age. From about... You're your best from about fifteen till about twenty-two. That's right.
