<TITLE>16. Par 61-64</TITLE>L-61 Some man speaks in tongues, then let him... It's a message to the church; everybody keep still; that's God speaking. And listen and see if it's not to the church, then it's in the flesh. See? If it's something to the church, and it doesn't come to pass, then that's a foul evil spirit 'cause God won't lie. Then you'll have your church setting in order. See?
But the way it is, just let it fly loose anywhere and somebody chewing chewing gum, and another one eating popcorn, one talking, and another one whispering to somebody, trying to speak in tongues, three or four at a time, and--and this, and trying... Oh, my. It becomes a Corinthians affair again. You ought to get it back in order, back to the Holy Spirit. Test that gift. You say, "Oh, Brother Branham, we test that too." Well, brother, it has to be tested right here, don't it? That's right. Don't be afraid. If it's God, it's right, one hundred percent right.
But... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] the top of it... [Blank.spot.on.tape] of that.

L-62 I was talking to the man, an editor, Bob, what's his name that writes Christian Life? And he done it... Sho... Not Bob Shuler, he's the Methodist brother. I know him real well, but I can't think of his name that writes "The Christian Life," the... Walker. He come to Indianapolis. And he said, "Brother Branham, what about the Pentecostals?" He said, "They do this and do that?"

L-63 I said, "And what about the rest of them? They do the same thing?" But many times their members are in the paper; they're out... The editors of the paper and things, you don't hear about it." But I said, "They do just as bad." But I said, "Sometimes somebody does get off of the wrong end. And then what do you all do, you jump plumb across the real thing and pull over to that. And this over on this side, the real wild fire, pour it plumb back over to old cold formal." I said, "It's right in the middle of the road goes the genuine Holy Ghost, the church. Glory. Them old cold formals on one side, and radics on the other side. It's all false from the real thing.
Isaiah said in the 35th chapter, "There shall be a highway." You Nazarenes call it the "highway of holiness." You're wrong. Not disputing your word but said, "There shall be highway and ('and' is a conjunction)... There shall be a highway, and a way, and it shall be called (not the highway but) the way of holiness." The middle of the road."

L-64 Dr. Weed, I know you Assemblies brothers knows him. He's a darling brother, precious friend of mine. I was preaching on that one time. Brother Weed got up and he said, "You know what?"
Brother Vibbert, I guess all of you know Brother Vibbert. He's my cousin, big assembly is at--at Evansville, Indiana. We had a man's meeting over there, Sunday.
Said, he said, "Brother Branham talked about 'the middle of the road.'" Said, "That's not good driving ethics."
So I happened to be standing behind him; he didn't know it. I said, "You see, Brother Weed, just how earthly can get, you Assembly brethren?" He's a precious brother. And the Assemblies is one of my great sponsors. So I said, "You see, you just think about the earthly things so much, and get in such a twist so all you can think about is just the things of the earth." I said, "Sure, riding on earth that's bad ethics, but this road I'm talking about it. You don't come back, it's just a one way ticket. You can't..." And so we just laughed. How many knows Roy Weed? He--he's one of the finest men that you could get. He's been a real brother to me. And so there you are.
