<TITLE>12. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 New Years, they turn a new page, good intentions: don't do no good. That don't help anything. I used to see my father throw away his chewing tobacco on--on New Years and say, "I'll never chew it no more," and watch where he throwed it, so he could pick it up the next day. You see? And I've see him throw his bottle away, and then watch what he done with it. You see? 'Cause you--turning pages don't do no good. It takes something to happen inside.
Any doctor will tell you, if you put something on the outside, and heal the sore over on the outside, it'll only make it worse, if it isn't. It has to heal from the inside out. And that's the way Christianity is. Isn't joining church or something; it's healing from the inside coming out. Your conversion comes from the inside, the core, the spirit, the life.

L-45 After the First World War, many of you young fellows don't remember this; us, older men remember. I was just a boy nine years old. But I remember, they said, "We'll have no more wars," after the First World War, "it's all settled." They found a thing called gas, and we--we just can't... you... We will never be able to--to survive another war, because that it's... they... They were going to fix a idea that, "We'll never have no more wars. That's all. We're settling it for good." So... But they had other wars.
They find... They finally organized a thing called the, I believe it was called, The League of Nations. "And we're going to take so many soldiers out of every nation. And we're going to have a police guard. And if anybody gets out of rule, one of this... So many out of this nation, so many... We're going to go say, 'Set down, John.'" 'Cause the nations are just a bunch of boys, just a family; that's all there is to it, like a house to God. "And we're going to police them. And we're going to have the League of Nations." But they had war just the same.
Now, they've got the U.N., but we've got war just the same (You see?), so... "When we form the U.N. and we get all the nations into it... Now, Russia is out, and this, and that." See? There's none of those things. You--you can't put your hands on that, not a thing.
The young couple, one time there was a young couple would get married. And the young couple might've said, John, and Mary, and how fine they lived together. And they might've said, that I am...
Perhaps, maybe I'm taking too long and holding this meeting, too long. What time we have to leave, brother? What time? Oh, I didn't know. We're sorry, brother. Just a few minutes and we... [A man speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. We didn't know that. We was supposed to have left at ten.
Let's go just a little farther.
It was fine and dandy, till one time a little curly-headed salesmen come in that talked her into something wrong, and broke up her home: from that time.

L-46 You say, "Brother Branham, you're telling us this morning, of how many things that's happening, and what taking place, and all of this that and the other. Is there anything that can happen that stands eternally?" Yes, when a man meets God.
There was a man named Abraham, just an ordinary man, but one day he met God, and from that time he was changed forever. He believed something that he could not see. When he met God, he was changed.
