<TITLE>54. Par -</TITLE>L-594-531 And you deacons, you trustees, you brethren... I believe you're... The brother here, I can't think of his name. You're... [Brother Caldwell says, "Brother Caldwell."--Ed.] Caldwell. You're just a... You're one of the elders or something, aren't you, or just a... ["Minister."] Minister. ["I'm a minister. I belonged to the Church of God; I couldn't preach the full Gospel and stay with them. I couldn't preach the baptism in the Name of the Lord Jesus and stay with them. I had the highest ranking ministry license that they put out, but I just turned them in. Since I heard you preach those great messages, I turned them in and come out of organization. Now, I want to be one of yours."--Ed.]
Thank you, brother. We welcome you to our fellowship. And our--our credentials is of above. Our life makes our credentials. You see? That's our credentials. "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe Me not." See? That's right. That's our credentials. And as an old... As Howard Cadle used to say, "We have no law but love, no book but the Bible, and--and no--no creed but Christ." That's right. "No law but love, creed but Christ, book but the Bible."

L-595-533 And we're--we're, Brother Caldwell, we're happy to have you. You come out of a great organization. The Anderson Church of God, I suppose. [Brother Caldwell says, "The Cleveland."--Ed.] Or Cleveland church, Pentecostal Church of God. ["I used to pastor out here at...?..."--Ed.]. Oh, yes. Oh, yes, I've been out there. I believe I was out there with Brother Neville, or Brother Wood, one time, we got a dog or hound dog from somebody that went to your church out there. And I got to standing on the steps out there and talking, and they was talking about you. Well, I'm sure... ["At my church."--Ed.] Oh? ["Burns."--Ed.] That's right, Brother Burns. That's right [Brother Caldwell relates an incident--Ed.] Oh? Yes. Oh, Bertha, that's right. Oh, that's wonderful.

L-595-534 Brother Rook over there, he's become a pastor now, or evangelist, I believe. Is that right? Or are you pastoring? [Brother Rook says, "Just evangelist."--Ed.] Evangelist. I want to comment you, Brother Rook. I've heard of some great work you're doing for the Lord. You... I heard you went to Indianapolis or was going to Indianapolis, and had services and won souls to Christ. God be with you, Brother Rook. I'm sure glad to see you. I seen you out here on this old tractor out here, running around out here, just fertilizing your yard out there. Well, see you out trying to do something for the Lord. Glad He called you to the ministry, ever hold Him before you, brother. God bless you. Don't compromise on nothing; but do it with the sweetest spirit you can do it with. Let your--let your message always be seasoned with the sweetness of the Holy Spirit.

L-595-535 And Brother Stricker... [A brother says, "We desire the prayers of all of you. We're trying to get a church started down at North...?..."--Ed.] Oh, I hope you get it. We'll pray for you. ["Doing very well, so far."] That's right.
Billy, when you going to start pastoring?
Doctor Goad and Doctor Mercier here, I--I--I hope... As we call one another that. And Brother Goad has got to a place till I... He really deserves a title; he can load shells now. Yeah. Well, he's... And--and Brother Leo, I believe we can just let him go at that like that, and call him--let him continue his title of--of Doctor.
Well, "Doctor" Branham, back there, you just keep her doctored up real good, and the lights burning real good. And--and I'll tell you what, whenever we have a special meeting I'll talk to the board and see if they can't give you a little extra on that [Brother Branham laughs--Ed.], for special work when you have to do so much sweeping and carrying in and out, and that'll make you happy.
