<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>61-0903, Let Your Light So Shine Before Men, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 64 min
L-1 This is just as unexpected to me as it is to you. I come down... I'll have to confess that I kindly played the part of a hypocrite. I come just a little bit late. I said, "Brother Neville, will be preaching when I get there, so he won't say a word to me. He will go right ahead."
When I come in the door, Billy said to me; he said, "Brother Neville's already preaching. You're just in time."
And I said, "Fine."
Walked in, and he said, "I haven't started preaching yet; I was just kinda waiting."
So I thought, "Well, maybe, I could..." I know he--how it is to preach two or three times a day. It kinda wears you out (We know that.), especially when they're young like we are, you know. And them young fellows that--that doesn't take long. So we're kinda together as brothers, and we kindy hold our shoulders together, and our hearts together, our notions together, so we can work together for the Kingdom of God.
And we like to be together with you. It's a--it's a grand thing. So I just asked the Lord to give me a little text here or something another, to kinda get it started off. Don't what I'm going to say yet, but we just get started, and then wherever He leads us...

L-2 It is true that we are... I was supposed to begin a six day meeting in Fairbanks, Alaska, the fifteenth, beginning the fifteenth. But I don't think I'll be able to get up there at this time, because I have a another appointment I'm going to over in British Columbia. So I--I don't think I'll be able to get up at this time to... They want to organize a Businessman's chapter, Christian Businessman.
I certainly solicit and desire your prayers for the oncoming meetings, that we're trying to prepare for now. And I had an invitation a few days ago, of the--something that sounded good to me. And I don't know whether it's the Lord in it or not. I'll just have to wait and find out.
The Businessmen wanted me to come to Phoenix in January and go to every church, one night, all through the city of Phoenix, and then have the convention afterwards. That sounded kindy interesting to me, because it would give an opportunity for me to get to speak to the churches and to all the ministers.

L-3 Usually, the people think when--about me, because that I so rap against organizations, that I'm against the man, that's in the organization. I am not that, by no means. I'm for the man.
It's just like if I seen a man coming down the river here in a boat, and that boat was full of leaks. And I knowed it, and knowed that boat would never be able to go through the riffles down there, I'd be screaming and condemning that boat, just as hard as I could. But not the man in the boat.
I'm condemning the boat. I know the boat won't make it. And I know the organization won't make it. But I know the man in there will make it, if he will just step out. See?

L-4 But it's like if you had an old car, and you was going up a mountain, and I knowed when you started down the other side you had no brakes. I wouldn't be against the man and screaming against him. It's not him; it's the car that he's in. He's going to get hurt. And that's about the organizations; I think the people that holds on to those organizations as if it was God Himself, and they leave off the Word of God, just to hold the organization.
Well, when they do that, I'm afraid they're going to make a vital mistake. And it's not that I got anything against the individual man, but it's the boat that he's riding in (You see?), I'm sure it won't make it.
The organization will never make it, but Christ will. So just step out of the--out of the leaky boat of organizationism, in to the safe Ship of Zion. And the old Ship that's never failed yet to land in times, Christ. And that's... think it would give me an opportunity to get to speak to those men.
