L-1 Thank you, Brother Sullivan. You may be seated.
I just can't hardly express myself to thank God that how grateful I am to be back here in this tabernacle tonight. I have long remembered the visit that I had the last time here with Brother Sullivan and the people, and how that the Lord blessed us, one Sunday morning in the church. And when I come up just a few minutes ago and heard them people singing, "Joy in my heart and peace in my mind," that's what Christians sing, what Christians can talk about, having joy in their heart and peace in their mind, and there's nothing can do that but God.
And it seems good to be back up here out of the smog of California, where you can get a good deep breath once in a while. That... They can have all of California for my part. And I like the people there, but sure not that smog they got down there in that valley.

L-2 I was borned out here on one of these ridges in Kentucky, and I just can't get away from it, you know I just... I... that's... It might be... Everybody might rush out there if they want to, but for me, I'd just rather stay up here where you can at least breathe. My eyes burnt; my throat got red.
And I--and I tell you, I believe sin kindly travels, well, it always does travel, and has traveled with civilization. Sin always come by civilization.

L-3 Before there was any of the white men in the west, when it just Indians, they had no sin. They was--just lived a good quiet life, and had little troubles, once in a while, with their tribal wars, and things, but as far as--as sin, it came with the white race, when civilization came. The Indian come in with women, whiskey, and gambling, and killing.
And as the sun has went from the east to the west, civilization travels with it. And I believe the Lord must have a great radar screen up on the West Coast, because if it goes any farther, it'll go back east again. So I think it just sets against it and falls right back like a wave. And I say that it certainly is, we're certainly living in a terrible time, terrible time.
Now, that don't only apply to the West Coast, and me bragging on these Buckeyes, and Hoosiers, and corn-crackers around here, but we got it up here too, you know, but it's just more of it out there.

L-4 These five nights that we got, just now with--here in Ohio again... I think tomorrow night they're going to some auditorium or something, but I--I was glad to get to come to the church. I like a church. Yes. I--I think that Brother Sullivan in--in the--the event of travel, as I find that the best meetings is always in churches. Now, I have--hope I'm not superstitious; if I am I don't know it. But then, when you go into these places where they have amusements, and gambling, and dances, and it just looks to me like that there's just little devils setting around everywhere, you know. And they just kind of a--a habitation for them. They just stay there. And then you got to go in, take about five nights to preach all them out, you know, before you can get the meeting started. But in the church house I believe the Angels of God encamp around, because of saints gathering there. It's a noted place for God, where He comes and meets with His people.
It's always seemed kindly good to me to be in a church. I like it better, so you can be a... It seems like at home. You know, it's--it's where we just fellowship together and have things in common.

L-5 When Brother Sullivan and we got the opportunity to come back again, I was certainly happy.
Just been across the neighbors, over here in Virginia, last week. And down at Richmond; had a glorious time down there with those southerners. "Birthplace of the nation," they call it. And they're all good old southerners too. They really love the Lord down there, and we had a wonderful time. But I was anxious to get back home again, up here, so that we could worship together awhile.
