<TITLE>05. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 Brother Fred Sothmann, many of these, Brother Tom Simpson, setting there, those men came from Canada, just to... They're camping out there, been in there for two years now in a trailer; just to be near when we have services.
Oh, what that, friends, like that, what it means to you. Now, it's glorious to have a precious friends.
So Brother Wood brother, Lyle, came down one day. And I guess, he wanted to ask him what kind of a--a shenanigan he got hooked up with. And so he said, "That's the brother out there cutting grass in the harvest. And..." With my overalls on and straw hat. I come in was talking to him. It happened to be the Holy Spirit come near and begin to tell him about him being a married man, having two children, and so forth. So he--he thought, "Well, Banks told him that." And I caught that what he thought. And so, people saying that don't realize that you realize what they're thinking. See? You... God reveals just what's in their heart. But (You see?), they--they really don't believe it.
So I said, "But here's one thing Banks didn't tell me, last night, you come pretty near getting your head shot off. You're wife that--that you're married to, but you was with a red-headed woman last night, and she had you hid in the room, and that the one knocking at the door, and you sent her to the door, if it hadn't that man would have blowed your brains out." That got him. He knowed that was true.

L-18 We went fishing together down at the dock, and we had run out of bait, and so we were setting there one morning... I was catching these little Blue Gills on a fly line to bait up with that night. And his brother said; I said, "The Holy Spirit is near. He wants... There's something fixing to happen." I said, "It's perhaps a resurrection going to take place." I said, "Maybe, perhaps, I've got about five hundred on the list there, little children and everything," I said, "maybe, something's..."

L-19 Then I happened to think, maybe before I left it... Excuse this, sisters; I don't like a cat. I just can't stand them. And so they... I--I'm not afraid of them, wh-o-o, that creepy feeling they give me. So they... My little girl went down the lane, and her and another little neighbor girl come up, and she said, "Oh, Daddy," you know, she got that real sad look. She said, "Somebody throwed out a--a poor cat. And it's eat something," and said, "it's in the awfullest condition." Said, "It's--it's poisoned. It's going to die." And said, "Daddy, you wouldn't mind me keeping that cat, would you?"
And I said, "Well, if it's going to die," I said, "I guess not."
Said, "Would you pray for it?"
We just prayed for a little dog, you know, that was just dying, and he got all right, big fine dog now. So... And you've read the story of the opossum, and all those things, that's... Well, God, that's His creation, same as...
So I said, "Let me see the cat."
So her, and the other little girl packed it around the house. And I said, "Well, yes, we'll keep it. Go get a box." And the next morning, we had about ten kittens, you know. And so then, so they had them.
So my little boy Joseph got out, and he looked at one of them, and he's just a little bitty fellow, and he squeezed it too tight, and throwed it down. And I thought he killed the little thing. It wiggled around there a few times. I thought, "Perhaps, it's that kitten, you know, when I go back, that cat will be dead, and the Lord just raise it up."
