<TITLE>07. Par -</TITLE>L-751-38 Let me just stop again just a moment. When I went to Bombay... (I count that my greatest meeting because of the effects it had on the people.) And I... If in Africa, they say thirty thousand came to Christ at one time, then there was a hundred and fifty or two hundred thousand came to Christ at one time out of that half a million there. What could I do? There wasn't a thing. Perhaps maybe, say there was--just say there was a hundred thousand of them. There was no church, nothing I could do, There was nobody to give to them. The Message that I believed, there wasn't even a Pentecostal denomination would cooperate with me. And all those souls probably drifted right back into Sikhs, Jains, Buddhism, whatevermore they come from. No place to put them. Now, that's a shame; that's a disgrace (See?), because I had no cooperation, because of the stand that I take. See?

L-752-39 Well, in Africa, I went in there under that auspices of the--the A. F. of M. and (Afrikaans Faith Missions)--and when I did... 'Course, I can't agree with them. They--they baptize people in a triune baptism, three times face forward; and one of them baptizes three times backwards: one for one God, the Father; the other one for another God, the Son; the other one for another God, the Holy Ghost; and baptizing three different times for three different gods and all such stuff as that. And perhaps the Durban meeting, not having it rightly--and the people see such a scattered amongst the Pentecostal faiths and so forth, the people didn't know what to do. They had no place to go.

L-752-40 Perhaps, what if we just had a revival here, brethren... Let me place it like this. What if we'd just got through with a big revival and you brethren had just got converted, and there wasn't a church of this type in the country nowhere; and I'd been the evangelist, and now I'm leaving out and you may never see me again? What would you do? You'd feel like... You wouldn't know what to do. You can't go back to that wallow again. You can't go back down there with a--with your wives to wear shorts and your--and to your card parties and dances, and things like that, and ever be satisfied again. You've come to Light; you've raised above that thing. You've come to a place instead of saying, "This is our creed," saying, "This is God's Word." And you've come to live by This, what This says, and not what... And you go down there and listen to them, and hear them go down and play bunco, and have a dance, and this, that, and the other, and a little bit of message that had nothing in it (about some mayor or something that was going to be re-elected, or some kind of a political affair), and cut off in ten or fifteen minutes; after you'd been setting here day after day and great gastronomical jubilees of the Word and things, you wouldn't know what to do. You'd be so burdened with it, till some of you lay members would feel like starting up a church and start preaching it yourself, 'cause your heart would burn for the Word of God, and you'd feel bad for the people that felt the same way you did. Now, isn't that right?
