<TITLE>01. Par 1-10</TITLE>60-1210, The Philadelphian Church Age, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 125 min
L-1 Brother went and got me a big, hot cherry pie. I tell you; it pays to hint. It's... What about that, Brother Neville? There he is. See? Looks like cherry pie's kind of a favorite to me. It's really good. Just like I say about when I eat cherry pie, now, sometimes you run into a seed. Now, I don't--I don't throw the pie away; I just throw the seed away and keep on eating cherry pie.
That's the way I want you to do about these messages. When you run... Go right along with me; when you hit something you can't--you can't digest it just right, why, well, just don't throw the whole thing away; just throw that part away (the seed), and just keep on eating pie. Why, that's the way. See?
When you... You like chicken, fried chicken? Nearly everybody does. Well then, when you eat chicken, you hit the bone; you don't throw the chicken away; you just throw the bone away. Isn't that right, Pat? You just throw the bone away, keep on eating chicken.
Well, we're happy because that we can eat Food that doesn't have a bone or a seed in It. Wafers came down from heaven, called manna, covered all over with the sweetness of heaven.
You know, I believe it was David one time said, "It tastes like honey in the rock." I believe the poet said, "It was Honey in the Rock." Oh, my brother, have you tasted the..." See, just like... tastes like honey in the rock. "Honey in the Rock, my brother." That's the way it is.

L-6 Now, you know, I--I wondered one time what that meant, "honey in the rock." And I thought, "Well, it's perhaps they found a beehive one time in a rock." But come to run it down, I got a little inspiration on it. I... Not that time I was looking for it, but later on I found out that each one of them shepherds that had sheep...
There's something about it, you know, our bodies are made up out of the dust of the earth. Every--every living thing come from the earth. And there was these shepherds, believed that lime helped the sheep when it would have something wrong with it, you know, sick, or something or another. They'd want it to lick on a rock. You've seen sheep do that, go lick on the rock. And to get the sheep to lick on the rock, they'd pour some honey on the rock. Then the sheep would go to licking the honey, and then he'd get the rock too (You see?), when--when he was licking the honey.

L-7 Well, we got a whole scrip bag full of Honey here. We'll put it on the Rock, not on any church; on the Rock, Christ Jesus. And you sheep go to licking now, and you--you'll sure to get well right away. All the sin troubles will be gone away when you lick--lick the Rock. That's all you have to do.
Something about a rock that's got healing to it: healing. In the days gone by, before they had the rabies shot, they used to have what they called the "mad stone." When a person get bit by a mad dog, why, they'd put him on this mad stone. And now, if the mad stone... If he stuck to the mad stone, he got well; if it didn't stick, then the patient's too far advanced, it--it would die.
So that's the way it is today. The worst bite that I know of is not a mad dog, but the devil. And we got a Stone for that: Rock of Ages. Just hold on to It. As long as you hold on, you'll get well. Don't never turn loose and back up; just keep on holding on. Stick to It, and--and you'll--you'll get all right.

L-10 Now, before we go into our night's lesson, and--and we want to stand just a moment, if we can, for a word of prayer.
You're not Robert Daugherty's sister, are you, here? She called me yesterday, I believe it was, and was talking about she wanted prayer. And I--I didn't know; you looked something like her. I didn't know whether you was her or not. I seen you here last evening.
