<TITLE>01. Par -</TITLE>62-0601, Taking Sides With Jesus, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 144 min
L-743-1 Some place in Louisville where you--you eat, and it's called, let's see, Dogpatch Restaurant. I got one today. When anyone eats there, then they take the money that you gave them and send the church the tithing off of it. It's somewhere at 319 West Jefferson Street. I guess that's why Billy had it laying here, that so that they could see. That's mighty nice.
Now, brethren, I don't know what your procedure of--of man's meeting, just what you do or how you conduct your meetings. And if I get off of schedule here, why--off the regular routine, why, you call my attention to it.

L-743-3 It was purposed tonight, I thought, as I had a--a dinner not long ago with our most beloved pastor, Brother Neville, and I was saying something to him what was on my heart. And I thought if we get a bunch of men together and the ministers (They're our colleagues here of the Gospel and men.), we could talk to one another in a way that we wouldn't talk it before the public, because we're all and--we're men that understand as men, Christian men. And that way... Usually in a congregation, a group, you say something, and--and one will lean it a little this way, and one will lean it that way, and--and then it goes all out. But where we come to try tonight to tell you what I have in my heart of, concerning the church and its a--and its place and its position. And then if we get done in time, I would like to speak to you just a little bit on the Word, if it's all right. Just kind of settle that, so we will get our business part or the part that I'd like to express to you first. And I guess maybe you let out regular time, about 9:30 or something like that, like each night. Well, I will try not to keep you long. Tomorrow's Saturday and it's a big commercial day. But now... We have to get our groceries and so forth.

L-743-4 I want to say to Brother Neville publicly... Now, I--I want to say to each one of you, just like I was talking privately to you, just each one, 'cause you're a group that--that's a... I really think that and believe and teach that men, God has made men leadership of His church, that's His people. See? And it's a... As I was preaching down to Brother "Junie" Jackson's last night about God fortified His--His people with His Word. And it was a woman that broke through that line and give vent to reason, and when it did, God forever has always placed it for His--for men to keep His church fortified by Word.
Now, I want to encourage Brother Neville just a little, talking to him privately. I noticed last night discernment struck me two or three times while I was in the pulpit, and I turned around, 'cause I'm trying to keep as far away from it as I can until I find out what the dream meant to me here not long ago, a few weeks ago. It stuck with me for a long time; I told it here in the church, about--something about the Message and--and discernment and so forth; it just didn't--it just wasn't coming out right. To my opinion, that time's over, and now I may be wrong on that, but I noticed that--that Brother Neville was kind of weary and upset.
