<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>62-0609M, Seeing God, Bible Tabernacle, Southern Pines, NC, 51 min
L-1 And I... We were setting here talking one with the other, Brother Thomas, and I, and Brother Rhodes, that I've just had the privilege of meeting. And we were just having a... You know how we have a little sense of humor...?... to kinda what I was going to speak about this morning when I was here, but I haven't got time of, "Letting Off Some Steam." So that's the only way we have of letting off steam, is when we have a--a little sense of humor.
And a godly, saintly old brother that's just went on to glory that most all of us are acquainted with, was Brother F. F. Bosworth. And he always had a great sense of humor. I used to be a little reluctant about watching and listening, because I want "Yea, yea," and "Nay, nay." When I seen this godly old man and the sense of humor he had, then I seen other great servants, Brother Vayle, and these other brethren here and all of them, when they get together they had a little sense of humor, and I thought, "Well, maybe that's just a--a tradition of this last day amongst ministers."
And then I was reading in the Pre-Nicene Council, and the Nicene fathers and so forth, of some of those great servants of Christ in bygone years, and they had sense of humor. And you know, I finally come out to find out that God's got a sense of humor. So...

L-2 And talking of fellowship, I was thinking one that Brother Bosworth used to say. He said to me; he said, "Brother Branham, you know what fellowship is?"
I said, "Yes, I believe I do."
He said, "It's two fellows in one ship." So that's what... You can be pretty close together there, you know, so that's fellowship. And this is certainly a great time of it, of fellowship.
Now, I had... As I--you get a little older, I--I don't think as fast as I did when I was a young man like Brother Parker here. I... He was talking awhile ago, and said he was always telling his wife she's getting old and he's getting young, and so forth. And I try that at home too, but it don't work very good. Well, know whether you can make it work or not... But--but however, when I told him just--there's just ten years difference in our age, I said, "You come on up the road ten more years, and instead of pushing that Bible away like that you'll have to be looking through a few glasses when--when you get a little older."

L-3 And so, we're very pleased with this meeting and its results. And I was having a little time... Brother Parker here was explaining to me some of the--the Scriptures, and I know what you all are going through with down there at the--at the building, down at the Tabernacle, of this teaching of the Scripture. And how, what a humble, sweet way he approached it, to tell me about some things; which I told him, as soon as he got it on some paper, let me have it so I could set down, study on it. And I--I like that approach (don't you?) to somebody, that don't try to poke something down you, but just let it be humbly and sweetly.
