<TITLE>15. Par 62-65</TITLE>L-62 I think my brethren in all of our different denominations... I--I certainly agree with Hudson Taylor, the great missionary to India when a young Chinese boy got saved. And he come up, and he said, "Mr. Taylor, I'll have to take four years of psychology, and so forth, and so many years in college."
Mr. Taylor said, "Don't let a candle shine when it's half-burned. Give its light while it's just lit." That's right. The trouble of it is today, when a boy gets a call of God in his heart, filled with the Holy Ghost, and he goes off to some of these cemeteries, or seminaries, or what (Excuse me.)... Anyhow, he goes off there in that refrigerator, and they take out of him everything that God put in him. That's right.

L-63 I believe the hour has come... I disagree with these big schools of theology building today. We're talking about the coming of the Lord right at hand, and building big schools and everything. Why, our own actions speaks louder than our words. How could we be putting so much in buildings, and so forth, and great schools, and so forth, and saying the Lord's a-coming?
I say this: As soon as God lights the candle, take off. If you don't know no more, just tell them how it got lit. That's all. Let them get lit, and they'll tell somebody else, and we'll have a candle-lighting time. That's what we need anyhow, instead of so much theology: candle lighting. Just tell how it got lit. Just... that's all you have to tell. Don't try to preach it; just say how it got lit. "I got filled with something that's--that's burning me up." That's all.
Just tell about the lighting time, how it got lit, and it'll give the light as it burns down. Let that one lights another one; and then he tell how it lit, and he tell how it lit. There'll be a light around here after while if we just tell that much.

L-64 Now. How that this woman... She could not hold her peace. She ran into the city. And her testimony was so stirring until they could not ignore her, so they went out. And the Bible said that the people of Sychar believed Jesus (Now, He never did that again to them), because of the woman's testimony that told her what she had done.
"You remember that, brethren? We all was amazed," said Andrew. "We all was amazed at how that those Samaritans up there... That portion of ground that--that Jacob had give to his son Joseph, and he had a well there, and that portion of ground had been given... And here this woman of Samaria, an unclean thing to us, and yet, she recognized it in a minute, even in her ill-fame."
"No doubt but in her little house of prostitution..." that I aim to preach on in the morning, the Lord willing, "that little place, she had some scrolls of God there, where that she had been reading about God, and knowed that He was to appear in that form... And how we were all shocked."

L-65 And oh, I imagine the boat got to rocking again, somebody shouting and praising God. And, it might've been Peter said, "Brethren, there's forty fathoms deep here. Keep quiet."
Matthew said, "Well, you think that I--you're going to get by without me telling something?" See? And said, "Let me tell you something. You remember that morning that we all went ahead of Him to fix the meeting down in Jericho?"
"Oh, yes," said Luke. "I remember that well."
"And we found a little businessman down there by the name of--of Zacchaeus, a little bitty short fellow. You remember how impudent he was, how arrogant, little hooked-nose Jew, and mean as he could be. And we told him about the...?... 'Oh, get...'"
