<TITLE>02. Par 6-10</TITLE>L-6 Now, glad to see my friends here from up state. How far are you away from here, Charlie? How far you live up...? [He answers, "Seventy miles."--Ed.] About seventy miles. Well... [The brother says, "Just inside the Indiana state line."--Ed.] Just this--inside the Indiana state line. Rodney and all... Oh, it's on this side--this side the Indiana state line. He just almost got in grace, but he just missed it a little bit, just a little--just at the state line.
Now, if you'd come down in Kentucky, you'd been just right. How many Kentuckians is in here? Oh, my. [Someone speaks from the audience--Ed.] I tell you. [Brother Branham laughs as someone speaks from the audience--Ed.] There's a--I said one time at... [Someone from the audience speaks--Ed.] Pardon? [Brother Sullivan asks a question--Ed.] I just don't know, Brother Sullivan.

L-7 My mother used to run a boarding house in Jeffersonville, and I have a tabernacle just about this size, I suppose, there. One night I was preaching, I said, "All from Kentucky stand up." Wasn't nobody setting down. Everything--and I said, "Well, Kentuckians and ground hogs took the country without firing a shot." I said, "They--they really got right in, come right on over and took it. Well," I said, "they had to send some missionaries over here from somewhere so, it's... from..." [Brother Branham laughs--Ed.] I ain't talking about Ohio now. Now, wait a minute; I'm talking about Indiana, down in Indiana.
Well, wherever you go, around the world, you find that God's people's always about the same.

L-8 I noticed down in Africa and the other countries where I've been, some of those people wouldn't even which is right and left hand, but you know what happens when they get the Holy Ghost, what they do? The same thing you do when you get the Holy Ghost, act the same way. And they will--they will speak with tongues.
And they--you'd think if they was speaking themselves when you'd hear their language, like maybe, there's one kind there that I always was amazed at, they kindly click their tongue as they talk. I believe it's called Bazutu, I think it is--no, Xhosa. And if you just say Xhosa, it isn't right. You have to click it, [Brother Branham makes a clicking sound--Ed.] Xhosa, like Xhosa. And everything you say has got a click to it, but when they begin to speak with tongues, they sometimes speak English. See? And just... You, just whenever the people in them heathen countries receive the Holy Ghost, they act just like anybody else, no matter where it's at, they... It shows it's for "whosoever will may come."

L-9 Now, our--many of our brethren now are standing, and I--I kindly have--feel sorry. Wished I could furnish them place to set down, but we just don't have it. So I'll--won't talk no more than three hours or something like that, I guess. And I was just teasing. But just quick as we can have--feel the Lord blessing us and saying it's sufficient, well then, we'll want a--we'll dismiss. But to have this time of fellowship around here, a fellow just don't know where to begin at. It's just so wonderful and fine.

L-10 Been having great meetings on the West Coast, as I was saying. The Lord did bless mightily out on the West Coast this time. I got up around Visalia, up there, and that's Bakersfield, and Fresno, and through there. They were really hungry hearted people down through those valleys.
I believe the reason I--I'm hungry, because God has calling His church together, feasting upon the Word of God. Now, before we start, we ought to talk to the Author, I think, before we read His Word. Don't you think so? So let's bow our heads now, and lay aside all of our little childish things and look to the most stern, sacred part, the Word.
