<TITLE>04. Par 11-15</TITLE>L-11 Now, I--I have to be a little quick this afternoon. Because we won't have time. And I--I certainly respect you people coming out here, and the--the--the--the sheep of these shepherds here, that God has give them, by the Holy Ghost, overseership. And we're going to try to let out early enough so you can go home and go to church tonight.
And that I think was the Christian Business Men's principles. We've adopted that a long ago. If it's not the church's... Now, even when all the churches are in cooperation, we still prefer the Sunday afternoon so people... I think every person ought to attend your church. I think that's your place, your post of duty.

L-12 Now, this afternoon I would like to read... I've got some texts wrote out here, and some Scriptures, and little references, and so forth. And I'd like for you, if it's you're keeping record of these things, and if you'll give me your undivided attention just for as quick as the Holy Spirit will let me stop. Turn with me to Isaiah, the 7th chapter and the 14th verse. I wish to read for a--for a Scripture reading.
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
And I want to speak this afternoon upon the subject of "The Super Sign." If I could call it a subject or a text: "Super Sign."
This is a day of--of super. Everything has to be super. Or if they haven't... If it isn't a super product, it won't sell. And we remember, that because that human beings, God knowing their nature, and something in man that no matter how far he has fallen, yet in design, he is a son of God: designly. God designed him in His Own fashion.

L-13 And we look down sometimes upon our pretty homes. Many times I go down into Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Florida. And those people down there take better care of their backyard than... and cutting their grass than I do my--what hair I got left. Feather-edged, some man just keeping every little blade of grass out of the way. Beautiful structures with--with mammoth paintings that probably cost thousands of dollars. The palm trees with a line of neon lights around it. And floodlights at nighttime to reflect glows of rainbow, and beautiful lights, with yachts in the backyard, coming up through a canal, from the main peninsula of water, coming in.

L-14 And I stopped and think that about three hundred years ago, that was a swamp of primitive alligators, crocodiles, swamps. Men go in there with machinery and--and dig out all the foul bushes and so forth. And--and take big blowers and blow this sand up. And put foundations down and build homes, and make causeways, and so forth, build beautiful structures.
What does that? Because inside of him, he is an amateur creator. He cannot create, but he can take something that already has been created and almost make another creation out of it. His intelligence, his intellects...
Now, we see the difference. A animal never changes his haunt. The fox still lives like he did thousands of years ago. The birds stills builds the same kind of a nest. And the fish still spawns in the sand. The monkey still lives in the tree. And we find animal life just primitive. But man is in the image of God, so he keeps building up.

L-15 So today we've come to a place till it's everything that we speak of that has got any sale value, is super. We go to the supermarket. The little corner store's run out of business. The supermarket got to be super-duper, something big. You buy stamps, pay a nickel apiece for them: trading stamps. Don't you think they're give to you because they're not. You pay for them dearly.
