<TITLE>22. Par 68-70</TITLE>L-68 She went home that night maybe, and prayed out in her tent. Next day she come back, and she set again. She said, "I believe I'll get a prayer card," so she--or something, whatever it was. "I'll go up." So then, they got... Finally her--her number come. Now, we could stay a long time on that, but to save time, we're fixing to close. For it had come her time. And when she finally come up before Solomon, the Bible said that there wasn't nothing hid from Solomon that she wanted to know. God just poured it down upon Solomon and told her every secret that she wanted to know. Isn't that wonderful? You know what she said? She stood. Now, she didn't go back and say, "I believe it's mental telepathy. I--I believe it's..." No, no. She stood and she said, "All that I heard was wonderful. But it's greater than what I thought it was. It's greater because it worked on me." Amen.
Jesus said, "She'll stand in the last days with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon." What was it? She saw something real. The world is living today for something real. Don't you think so? They want something that's got a foundation.

L-69 Not long ago, I'm--and I'll close on this little story I'm fixing to tell you now. I used to hunt in the north woods. How I love to hunt. And I hunted with a fellow named Caul, very fine man. But he was the meanest man I ever seen when it comes to being cruel-hearted. He would shoot little fawns just to make me feel real bad about it. And I'd say, "Don't do that, Buddy, don't do it."
He say, "Aw, preacher, get next to yourself, you're chicken-hearted. That's what's the matter with you preachers."
I said, "No." I said, "I don't believe it's wrong to shoot a fawn if..." I was a game warden for years; I said, "If the law says you can shoot a fawn. But don't just don't do it to be mean. Abraham killed a cow--a calf and fed it to God. It's all right to kill a fawn if the law says so, but just not kill eight or ten of them just to make a fellow feel me--bad."

L-70 And he had eyes just like a lizard anyhow, he--and he--he always... I didn't mean that like that. He was just kind of a odd looking sort of a fellow, and--and he used to make me feel real bad, so he said to me... One day he was up there. I went up to hunt with him. He had a little whistle. He'd trained this little whistle, he could blow it and sound like a little baby fawn crying for its mammy. You know, what a little fawn is, a little fellow. And it called its mama. I said, "Burt, you wouldn't do a thing like that, would you?"
He said, "Aw, Billy," said, "get next to yourself. That's the way with you preachers; you're too chicken-hearted."
I said, "No, no, Burt. That's--that's not right." I said, "Don't do that."
