<TITLE>04. Par 12-15</TITLE>L-12 But if we look at nature and find that how that everything operates, then you'll know that there--the basis of Christianity. And Christianity is the only religion that's right. Because Christianity is based on death, burial, and resurrection.
Now, it isn't replacement. Now, if I drop this paper on the floor, and said, "Well, I dropped that one; I'll put this one back in its place." That's not resurrection; that's replacement. But the same Jesus that went into the ground, the same Jesus come back out of the ground. And resurrection, or Christianity is based upon resurrection. Therefore, when you can see the woods, and the trees, and watch...

L-13 Here a few months... Well, be about a year this coming--about four--three weeks from now. I was down in Kentucky a squirrel hunting. And we'd had a meeting pretty close, about two years before that, on a Methodist campground, for two nights. The Lord did great people--great things amongst the Methodist people. And so, they...
The Methodist used to believe in Divine healing. John Wesley did. I've got his book, his text book, and so forth, his notes. And so, they used to believe in Divine healing. Many of them do yet. And so there's a great revival among the people. So this great campground down there, down in the southern Methodist, at... They had called me down for a--a campaign, and I'd spent Saturday and Sunday with them.

L-14 And Mr. Wood, which formerly was a Jehovah Witness, and his crippled boy, leg drawed back under him, young man, setting back in the meeting, and his father setting there criticizing, his mother setting there praying, the Holy Spirit turned to a place where there's, I guess, at least eight or ten thousand people, and said, "The young fellow, setting back there with the crippled leg, his father's a Jehovah Witness, and he is a--a contractor; his name's Banks Wood. His mother is a Methodist. The young boy's name's David. THUS SAITH THE LORD, stand on your feet; Jesus Christ makes you whole." Up he got; he don't even know which leg it was now, lest it's happened.
So Mr. Wood, he really got saved, and he brought all the rest of his family into (his father, and mother, and all of them), into the covenant of Christ by the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And he and I were hunting together; we'd been down about two weeks, and he said... It's so awful dry. We had to get down in the low places to find where it's a--a wet enough to walk or the squirrels would hear you. And so he said, "I know where there's a man's got five hundred acres." But said, "Very doubtful that he will ever let me hunt, because he's a perfect infidel."
And I said, "That'd be a good fellow for us to meet."

L-15 So we went over, and he pulled up in front of his house, and he was setting in the yard, talking to a elderly man, and when we drove up, Mr. Wood got out and went around the car, and he said, "Hello, Jim or whatever his name was."
Said, "How do you do."
He said, "I don't guess you know me."
He said, "Yes, I do; I believe you're Jim Wood's boy."
He said, "That's right."
He said, "I wonder if I could hunt back in here?" Said, "It's so dry; we been hunting over on another creek, called Dutton." And said, "It's so dry over there."
He said, "I got five hundred acres here. Any son of Jim Wood can have his pleasure hunting anywhere he wants to or any time he wants to." Said, "I never had a more honest friend in my life, than Jim Wood."
He said, "Thank you." He said, "Now, I've got my pastor, along with me."
He said, "Wood, you don't mean to say you've got so low down, till you have to carry a preacher with you wherever you go?"
And he said, "Well, I don't know about that, but I..."
