<TITLE>53. Par -</TITLE>L-593-518 Now, brethren, I hope that these things have give some kind of a little show towards an answer or something, that our meeting here tonight has--has profited something. I'm fixing to leave now for a while, going into the meetings out into the west. I humbly covet your prayers.
Some of my answers in here, maybe many of them, maybe none of them was right. I don't know. But it would be the best that I could accumulate in my own way of thinking (You see?) to try to explain it. Maybe these last ones, especially, come in there at last, I didn't have time to look them up. And I just didn't... They was... What I mean, they were Scriptures that we go through here every time, day after day in the church. I thought maybe it'd be some great strenuous something that might cause us to get down to really have to go into something great, but it's just more like questions of churches.

L-593-520 I'm glad to see you holding like that. there's not any disorder, not any discontent, not any confusion, not a question debated it and said, "It's wrong. This is wrong; we won't have It." It was just brethren that wanted to know something to strengthen their holds; that's all. That... strengthen up, buckle--buckle up the armor a little tighter, pull another notch in it. I hope that we get to meet many more times like this, pull up the armor.
And you remember, brethren, my armor needs pulling up too. So you pray to God for me that God will help me and pull up my armor a little tighter, that I'll--don't get so loose with things. And the life that I live and the things that I do, may I do it with more spirit of humility, more anxious to do it. And God give me a heart to do it more than I ever have had before. I pray the same thing for you all. God bless you.

L-593-522 I've held you here a long time, and it's right now five minutes till eleven.
And now, Brother Neville, I--I may... Now, I found out, it's only about nine hundred and something miles over there; I'm not going to leave until Monday morning. But I want to be here Sunday for Sunday school. I'm coming as your guest to listen at you preach (You see?) Sunday. See? But... Well, brother, yes, brother. Brother Neville, here's the reason, brother. I'm... I love you, and you've always been so considerate in offering the pulpit just like as if--like I was a senior elder to you, or something. But I've never felt that way, Brother Neville. I've felt that we are brothers.

L-594-524 Brother Ruddell, and Brother Junie, and, oh, all you brethren and all of you, we're--we're just brothers together. You see?
But what... The reason of it, I'm just a teeny bit hoarse now (You see?), and I've got six weeks straight of just constant battle. You see? And I--I just want to maybe start if I can, thought, after this meeting tonight, that'd give me Friday and Saturday and Sunday to rest, before I start on the meetings out there.
And Brother Junie, soon as I get back, one time coming in, I got to come down and see you again, want to come out. I passed your little church out there yesterday, I believe. My wife said, "I think that..." Is it out there by the railroad track right by Glenellen Park? I'd like to come out there and talk to those Sellersburg folks. Fine.

L-594-527 Brother Ruddell, bless your heart. I'd like to come out; you got a fine bunch of people. You set there tonight listening just like you was an old elder taking it in.
Brother Beeler over there, is one of our evangelist brothers. I hope sometime I can meet one of your meetings somewhere, brother, can do some influence, have something to say somewhere to boost you along. I've always got a good word for you for anybody, you and to Brother Stricker here, and evangelists.
Brother Collins here, which I believe someday will be a full time minister in the work.
Men who are gallant men, gallant men, real men of faith, God be with you all.
