<TITLE>09. Par 30-32</TITLE>L-30 Said, "You know, when that little boy come up there with that five little biscuits and two fish, and handed over to Him... And I wondered what he was going to do with that. And when I seen Him break that bread and hand it out to us, I climbed around behind Him to see where that was coming from. But He took a biscuit. Just broke it, hand it out on a tray. And by the time He reached back again, there was another biscuit. Broke it off. Taken those fish..."
Wonder what kind of an atom He turned loose then, brethren? Wonder what He did? Not only fish, but cooked fish, not only flour, but baked flour, already in the bread, what did He turn loose? Lay it upon those platters, with five biscuits and two fishes and fed five thousand people and taken up basketfuls of the fragments that's left over. What did He do?
I hear young John say, "I seen Him in many great things. I've always believed Him. But today that settled it. I remember when I was a little Jewish boy; my mama used to set me upon her lap. And she'd say to me, 'John?' And I'd look up at her pretty, big, brown eyes, and she'd say, 'John, I want to tell you Bible stories.' And how I used to love them."

L-31 It--it's too bad that mothers don't take their children today and tell them Bible stories. Hard to get a pastor that'll do it, let alone a mother. I think there's--there's five Gospels. You only know four of them in the Bible. But it's Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and mother. Mother gets them when they're young.
She ought to start them right there before they know anything about Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
And mothers would take more time to talk to their children about God and pray for them, we would have less juvenile delinquency. First of all, it's parent delinquency before we have juvenile delinquency. If mothers would take their place in the house, and a Bible, and pray for their children, and lead them to Christ; instead of going out to some stitch and sew party and play cards, and drink, and carry on, and smoke and... Well, I don't want to get started on that. But however... I... It--it's terrible the way we--it's doing.
Today I laughed at my poor little wife. We was up to Howard Johnson's to get us one of those three D's. You know that's, usually I don't eat very much during these kind of service. And we were up there. And she seen the--a lady up there that had this here manicure on, you know, ever what the stuff is.

L-32 And about two weeks ago, I was in California. I didn't know that it drifted this far already. And I was standing in Clifton's Cafeteria. And I--I waiting for Brother Arganbright who's the Vice President of the Full Gospel Business Men, and I was to meet him there.
And a young lady came in to the place. And I looked at her, and I thought, "Well, that poor lady." Now, her eyes was the awfullest looking thing. I thought, "She's sick. I'll go over and pray for her." And I--I had seen... I've seen ophthalmia, and I have seen glaucoma. I've seen leprosy, but I never seen anything like that. And I thought, "She..." Honestly, I--I'm telling the truth. I thought the girl was something--a disease that I'd never seen before.
So she... Her eyes was real green. And then real blue behind that. And I thought I... "That kid, how's she out here on the street like that." And I thought I'd go over to her and say, "Sister, pardon me, I'm a minister of the Gospel. What is wrong with your eyes? Could I--could I offer a little prayer for you, if the doctor doesn't know?" Maybe... And I, as soon as I started over to her, here come some more women up with the same thing.
