<TITLE>05. Par 20-24</TITLE>L-20 Now, if you keep a Scripture record of what sometimes ministers read, I would like to read for you out of the New Testament, the Book of Saint John, 12th chapter and 32nd verse, for an introduction. And from this I wish to draw this text for a context. Jesus was speaking. Oh, I would've loved to have heard Him speak. Just... I know we all hunger for that.
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
Now, we have a little song down in the States, we sing that, "If I Be Lifted Up." Now, I want to speak on the subject of "God's Provided Way." God has a way provided.

L-21 Now, man is prone in the world to try to do something to achieve something. He's--he wants to do it himself. I... Sorry that it's made up that way, but the human race is just that way. Man tries to do something to make an achievement for himself.
As I was coming up yesterday along the highways, I passed through two large cities below here, Calgary and--and Edmonton. And I was speaking to my son when I went in to buy some gasoline. And when I looked upon the pump and it said, "Thirty-nine cents a gallon." I said, "I don't understand how they do it."

L-22 We pay about thirty-five cents a gallon for this gasoline in the States, and they bring it up here. Instead of a four quart gallon, give you a five quart gallon for thirty-nine cents. Therefore, they can sell it way up here on the prairies, cheaper than you sell it in the United States, and yet it's got from the United States, brought up here. The government buys it, and then the consumer sells it. Of course, then the government takes taxes back off of that from the consumer, back to the government.
And Billy said, to me, "Does that seem fair, daddy?" I said, "Well, we find out that they get along better than we do."
Now, if you notice, I wish to say this about Canada. I believe if Jesus would tarry for say, fifty years, that this nation will lead the nations of the world. This will be the outstanding nation of the world, if Jesus tarries. Because it's your ironclad government (See?) and the--the things, the natural resource that you have to build from.

L-23 Now, your lands are covered with oil and minerals, and--and your mountains are full of gold, and silver, and uranium, and potash, and whatmore. You have... You're about one and two thirds times as big as the United States, the Dominion of Canada.
Yet in the city, or in the state of New York, they have two hundred and ninety-six thousand more people in the state of New York, than Canada has in the complete Dominion. You've got here to make with; only you're not thickly populated. And that's a blessing.
For when population, men begin to congregate together, sin comes in. This morning when we were eating at the bus station, my son and I, he said, "Dad, I would love to live here."
"Oh," I said, "who wouldn't?" See? This is a paradise. Maybe you do not realize it.

L-24 Many like the ladies, long for the big cities, many times. And that... Don't never long for that. Oh, my. Take this any time. Here's the place to raise your children. Here's a place you can offer more for your children, more to your children, more for yourself, than any place that I know of.
Your money has the highest value, or is high, if not higher than any other nation in the world. Why? Because that you raise your wheat. The government takes it and sells it for you, and the money must be laid cash.
Now, in the United States, the farmer raises the wheat. The government pays him out of the government funds, and then takes it, and lets it out to other nations. And they never pay it. Some of them has been owing for hundreds of years and never pay it. And it's coming out of government funds, which is honey-combing the nation. And soon she's got to fall. That's all.
