<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 We had the most gracious, little, breakfast this morning I was ever in in all my life. What a great time we had around the fellowship of these pastors here. And Brother Hobbson here, made a remark that if I wasn't here to continue on with Abraham tonight, I'd like to draw some--some contents from that. He told us the story, which was very exciting of three men that was in a hotel or a place that they--they left their... The elevator broke down, and they had to walk seventy flights of steps.
And they agreed that so far up they would a--each one would tell how that a--some experience of life. Twenty stories, one told, and fifty or sixty stories, the next one told his experience. And at the top the fellow said, "The very--the experience that I've had, one of the most peculiar, is right now. I left my keys at the desk."

L-6 I just wonder, if many times in our Pentecostal experiences of trying to build big church, or do something to get a lot of people in, if we don't leave the key, the supernatural key? What we really stand for, the Pentecostal, if we don't leave it at the desk. If it does, let's run down the steps real quick tonight, and get it, so we can unlock the door. 'Cause it wouldn't make much difference how high we climbed, as long we didn't have nothing to get in after we got there.
That's was very good, brother, I certainly appreciated that. Such a lovely fellowship that we had this morning, and I'm sure glad to know that Yakima has a fine bunch of pastors here. God... Listen to them, brother and sister; listen to them, they'll tell you the way of life.

L-7 Now, I'm always late. I... Mother said I was borned a little late, and always at school I was... My report card was tardy, tardy, tardy, tardy, all the way down. When I got married, I was also late. I kept her waiting about a hour and a half. And I had to make sick call first. And so, if I can just be late for my funeral now, it--it'll be all right. I come into a Evangelical United Brethren Church in New Albany, Indiana, recently, and I was just about a half hour late, and pastor got up... And those people, they was ready to go home by that time. And they said, pastor said, "I now introduce to you the late Mr. Branham."
Well, reminds me of a--Brother Sweet, who's here somewhere tonight, Brother Sweat, rather, was here this morning in the meeting. We was over in Jamaica recently, we met with each other in Kingston, when I was at the race course; and he was singing for me. And that night, the celebrity of the island, had brought us out for a businessmen's luncheon; and the people were there all the way from Cuba to attend this luncheon, of shoe manufacturing, cane workers, and so forth. And so one fellow said to me; he said, "Are you a preacher?"
I said, "I hope so."
And he said, "What are you doing hanging around with these Christian businessman?"
I said, "Well, I--I--I am a businessman." So...
"Oh, you are a businessman?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "A--what do you do?"
I said, "I'm a salesman."
He said, "What do you sell?"
I said, "Insurance." "Assurance." Not "insurance." "Assurance..."
He said, "What a..." He misunderstood me, he said, "What insurance is that?"
I said, "Blessed assurance."
And a--he said, "Oh."
"I sell that." I said, "If anybody here tonight, is interested in a policy, I'd like to talk it over with you. I'd sure like to tell you about it. I--agent for the Eternal Life Insurance Company." I would like to talk it over with any of you all around the altar here, and I'm sure we can... We've got some agents here, would keep the policy right up and going (You see?) to keep it going.
