L-1 Thank you, Brother Herman. I have just been setting here drinking in. And, you know, I appreciate it very much. And before we go any farther, I'm sure it just we overlooked it. I think this was a wonderful little breakfast that these people served, us here this morning. I've eaten breakfasts around the world, you know, in different nations. And that was real nice little breakfast. And I believe it would be, as we are Christian gentlemen and ladies, to leave a leave a little something lay on the table for those nice little ladies, how nice they served us you know, if you'd have a little, you know. It's American custom, I think, that we leave them a little something on the table.

L-2 And by the way, I oughtn't to be saying that, when I haven't even paid for my own ticket, yet, but I--I... Somebody I owe the ticket to. So I--I imagine... Why don't you just lay it at your plate and let the lady... Would that be all right? Oh, just lay it some... 'Fore we leave, just before we go away, just leave a little something on the table, and...
I hope they're not listening, but (See?), we hold an example. Let's be an example. See? And so let's be real Christians in all that we do or say. In every act, let's be real Christians. And I know it's in our hearts; sometime we easy forget little things like that, but just thought I'd mention it.

L-3 I believe the Scripture that says, how great or precious for brethren to dwell together in unity. It's like the--the oil that was on Aaron's beard, that run down to the hems of his garment. We can certainly say that this morning with real trueness of heart, that it was really a--a fine fellowship. I have had many meetings, seen many things by the grace of God. I never met any finer bunch of men, just real Christian brothers, with all of us, just together. I know this is a little breakfast, but I hope this... Now, it's not joke; it's something actually happened. But it's just a little something that might change the position of our thoughts for a moment.
I love to fish. And I go way high in the mountain sometimes to fish. Now, I got a lot of brothers here, I know the same thing; I just looked at them watch one another then. So, sister, don't argue with him. Let him fish; that's good for he's... Go with him.
I said the other day that my little girls, Rebekah, she said, "I... When I get married I'll never marry a hunter. Hum." Said, "I see what my mother has went through." That's all right.
"Then marry a golf player, and let him get out there on the--out there with them half-dressed women, and everything all day long. Do that."
She thought about it, come back, said, "You know, daddy, I just happen change my mind." Said, "I want to marry a preacher, and let him be a hunter, then I want to go with him." So she had it all figured out. But that's all right.

L-4 I was fishing one time, way in top of northern New Hampshire. That's the home of the little Brown Brook. You get the native trout, that's really high there; they're good fighters. But the--the others are the stocked, the hatchery fish are soft, and there's not much fight in them. So I used to put a little pup tent on my back, and walk maybe, miles, three or four days walk, way high on top the mountains, where they pass the beaver dams and everything, where you get into where the real native trout's at.
And oh, how I love to catch those little fellows, catch them and turn them loose, just to--just to catch them, just to relax yourself. You've got to have something to relax, so especially in this type of ministry. And...
So Mr. Goad here, is teaching me how to hand load shells now, and so I'm getting along pretty good at that.
