<TITLE>10. Par 33-37</TITLE>L-33 And I thought, "I wonder if that's some kind of a manicure they're putting on their eyes, you know? And--and they're--that making...
And then I--I ask somebody else, and they said, "Yes, that's--that's something that they put on their face."
And I, when I come home I told my wife about it. I said, "Honey, they--they didn't even look human. See? It--it--it looked like something that'd come off of some other planet, or--or fell out of the morgue somewhere or something." I said, "I never seen such..."

L-34 And today, we was up there. And there sat a lady like that. And--and Meda looked around, my wife, and she said, "Is that it Bill?"
I said, "That's it."
She said, "Boy, wouldn't that scare you in the nighttime?"
I said, "It'd give you... It'd give me chills and fever." It sure would.
And she said, "Well, why is it?"
We asked not long ago. I seen a strange thing in our city. A lady had on a skirt. And I said, "Isn't it strange. Doesn't she look nice?"
"Yeah, sure does."
She said, "Bill, that, them women, I know some of them sings in choirs and and so forth."
I said, "Sure."
She said, "Well, about us?" She said, "What makes the difference?"

L-35 I said, "Well, honey, there just Americans. You see? That's all they are. When you're in Germany, they got a German spirit in Germany. You go to Finland, they got a Finnish spirit. You go to France, they got a France spirit. You come to America, you got American spirit."
She said, "Aren't we Americans?"
I said, "Oh, no, certainly not. We was Americans, we'd act like Americans." See?
I said, "They're Americans, so that's all they know. They join a church somewhere, but just, they're just earth bound, and that's all they know."
She... I said, "Now, see..."
She says, "Where we from?"
I said, "From above. Then we act like we was from up there. See? Our women dress like they're from up there. See? They--they act like it."
They... We're Christians. We're borned again. Our Kingdom is from above, from heaven. We're borned of a Spirit from up there. So we act like we're from up there, where they live holy, and righteous, and honest, and upright by one another, treat every man nice, and do everything they can to help one another. Not down here in this kind of conglomeration... Just because you're American, that doesn't make you a Christian.

L-36 Mr. Bosworth one time on the platform asked a girl, said, "Are you a Christian?"
She said, "I'll give you to understand I burn a candle every night." Like that had anything to do with Christianity. But that's the way it is. See?
Oh, if we'd just take more time to tell our children Bible stories. I imagine I could go to this town and pick every little boy up in this town, and every one of them can tell me who Davy Crockett was. And I bet there isn't--there isn't--there isn't twenty out of a hundred can tell me Who Jesus Christ was, and when He was born. That's right. Oh, sure.

L-37 See? That's just--just the American spirit moving through. That's all, see? And now, we find, that today that we've sowed to the winds and we're reaping a whirlwind. That's just exactly what we're doing.
Now, but we ought to be teaching our children about Christ.
Little John, his mother had taught him about God. And he said, "You know, look when the thing comes, when the thing comes to pass a well-trained child..."
"Bring up a child in the way that it should go. When it gets old, it'll not depart from it."
