<TITLE>21. Par 195-202</TITLE>L-195 And so when it would snow or something, or the rain would go, us little young'ns would duck under this--this piece of canvas, you know, keep those--keep from getting wet. And sometimes the draft through those holes, we--we--we'd get a cold, and our eyes would matter, you know, get all stopped up with cold, cold in our eyes. And so mom would call us in the morning to come down. I'd say, "I can't come, mama, 'cause my eyes is all mattered up." I got--I got stuff in it, you know, cold in the eye. Couldn't get them open, you know. A little young'n laying there, and me and Humpy and them trying to open up our eyes and we couldn't do it, blinded.

L-196 My grandpa was a trapper; he trapped coons, raccoons. And that was a cure-all at our house, was coon grease. We greased the shoes with coon grease. And if you had the croup, they put a little turpentine on it and you had to swallow it, so, for the croup.
And then when our eyes got all mattered up, mom would take this stuff... "All right, just a minute, honey." She run out in the kitchen and get this big old cup of coon grease and set it on there, and get it real hot. And she'd come up and massage our eyes (See?), until that it done the work. And after while I got so I could see, open my eyes. Get... The coon grease opened it up.

L-198 I'll tell you; we've had an awful draft. See? There's been an awful coldness sweep the country, a draft that said, "The days of miracles are past. There's no such a thing as the Holy Ghost, and no speaking in tongues. There's no baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus." And, oh, all kinds of drafts, and it's closed a lot of eyes with some kind of a spiritual coldness. It'll take more than coon grease to open them eyes, brother. It'll take a fresh baptism in the Holy Ghost...?... to massage your eyes and make them see, take the nearsightedness out of you so you can see the Word of God is true. That's right, Oh, "I counsel of you to come get some eyesalve from Me, kinda anoints your eyes." See? Oh.

L-199 The doctors of theology has their own theology, and their perfumes and things, but it taken more than that. It takes the Holy Ghost to give the spiritual vision to see heavenly powers work. The Holy Ghost, the salve of the Holy Ghost. A salve is a hard oil; we know that; and then the Holy Ghost is the Oil of God.
And all the theologies and the perfume, "O brother, dear, you're all right. There's nothing wrong with... Everything's all right. But we have the biggest church there is in the city." That perfume won't work. No. It'll make you see right along here nearsighted, and say, "Yes, we got the biggest church." But what about the judgment coming on when God will make you answer, you Laodicean church members?
I ain't speaking so much here, but I'm on tape and going across the world (You see?), so speaking to about several million people at this time. You see?

L-202 So then that's it: Laodicean, lukewarm, backslidden, nearsighted, I don't know what all: mules. A mule's a hybrid; he ain't got no gumption to start with. You can talk to him, he stick them big ears up, go, "Haw. Haw. Haw. Haw." There ain't no kindness to him. He's a hybrid; he's between a horse and a donkey. That's what's the matter now, you put Nicolaitanes and Laodiceans together, and you got a donkey again. What we need... That's right. They don't know. You tell them about Divine healing, the baptism in Jesus' Name; say, "Haw. Haw. My pastor don't... Haw. Haw. We don't believe that as Presbyterians." Ignoramuses, that's about what you would call him. But you...?...
