<TITLE>03. Par 9-11</TITLE>L-9 So... But this is Ven... ever where it's at, up there. It's somewhere between Fresno and Bakersfield. And then we got the--the sponsorships, the ministerial group up there, and we have five nights beginning on the 22nd through Sunday. Thank you. And I have five nights of service. And we are... Any of your friends up around there, well, we'd be glad to--to have them come up and visit us. We--we appreciate them coming.
Now, the... I--when we leave, we don't want you to just quit coming to church now; we want you to just keep on coming; just keep right on coming anyhow. If I lived around here, I--maybe this would probably this be my church home right here, if I lived here, be right here. I like it; it's a wonderful little church; got a lovely little pastor here. And--and I'm sure that any man that preaches the Full Gospel, I'd be represented there, because that's what I believe. Nothing against any of the rest of them, but just for me, my--my taste, my association would be that.

L-10 Now, don't forget the announcements now: tomorrow morning Clifton's Cafeteria. You who are up there, or tune in, I guess... Is it a live broadcast, or is that taped, or do you know? It's a live broadcast and tomorrow morning. And I don't know what station it comes over, but then I guess the brother here, don't you have a broadcast too here, brother, on Sunday, or is it? No, no broadcast. And other ministers, we appreciate this fine ministerial group that's been helping us and--here in the meetings; many of their people are coming. And I--I certainly appreciate these men. I want to say something here to them.
And I--I tried hard, and talked my precious little friend out of taking this meeting down at the municipal auditorium; I did. But he had a feeling for the people that, said they had to be standing, and so forth. But here's the reason I didn't want it, brother. Now, I know that sometimes you hear me rake these denominations, but that's not the men that's in them denominations. That's--that's just the denomination itself. Now, I realize this, that if we go down there tomorrow night, it--what if... If we had full cooperation with all the ministers, it'd be nice to go down there. That's right. But or, I mean Sunday, excuse me. If I--we had full cooperation, all the ministers, where they'd close their churches and so forth. But to go down there, some of the people sick, is going to be coming down to be prayed for, and maybe the ministers didn't know it ahead of time, so they got their own programs for that night. And I--I don't like to do that, brethren, I... That's honestly. I--I do not like to do that, because, after all, this blanket stretches all, both ways, you know. That's right.

L-11 And I do, if anything I have respect for, is men of God, servants of God. And sometime if you find the most suspicious people in the world, is preachers. That's right. They're the most suspicious of all of them. But I--I want to say why, because they are shepherds. That's right. They're guarding their sheep (See?); they got a right to be suspicious and wait and watch. But when you see the Word and God working together, that's the time to move in with it (You see?), when you see the Word and God coming together. So I just wanted the ministering brethren to know that the reason that that was down there was because that the brother thought that perhaps it'd give people a chance, all of them to be seated. His heart's right on it; I see what he means. But to me, I just wanted to stay right here in the church right here and go ahead. But he said Sunday night there was so many turned away and--and then announcing also for healing services, it would make a--a--quite more coming then.
