<TITLE>13. Par 59-63</TITLE>L-59 We invite Him; we call for Him, and then don't want Him when He gets there, just ignore Him, let Him alone, don't pay no attention to Him. His Word can be read, or preached, and just set and let it go on by, maybe taking a good nap while you're doing it (See?), not interested. Watching, watching for the coming of the Lord... We've invited Him, want Him come. The Lord Jesus come, and yet we don't... seem to ignore it when He gets among us.
There, He set there. Yet, He come. I wonder why. I wonder why. There's always a reason.

L-60 Way down the street, off of the main line, turn up a little side dusty street. Go down an alley, way down to the foot of the alley, and up a little creakity steps to a little shack. I see a little woman come out. She looks around. "Where is everybody?" She creaks down the steps. Oh, I believe she was a pretty little woman. And she come walking down the steps. She'd took the long road, true. But maybe, you know, it might've been some parent let her do that.

L-61 You know, you're talking so much today about juvenile delinquency. I believe it's parent delinquency. I believe that's where it's at. You talk about the illiteracy of Kentucky. Let one of them girls up there come in--a all-night-long, half drunk, and her lip manicure, or whatever you call it all over her face, and her half--dress twisted around like that, brother, one of them old Kentucky mammies would get her a limb off top one of them trees, and she'll wear what clothes she's got out off of her. She's a long ways from Hollywood, you know. That's right. That's what we need today, is some more of that kind of a mother. That's right. Sure is.

L-62 Then we find that she slips down the steps, down into the alley, looks everywhere there's... Where is everybody? You see, the child had been turned out. Nobody cared for her.
That's what makes a many a girl go wrong, because there's nobody seems to care for her. There'd be half of them wouldn't be the way they are, if there's somebody could--would care for them. Instead of mother and daddy out somewhere, carrying on in a barroom and letting their girl go anywhere, they ought to be at home praying, their Bible open, pleading for, like Job was, for his children. Peradventure they do sin, he'd have a sacrifice for them. We need more prayer and more homes consecrated to God. That's right.

L-63 Now, probably her parents was the delinquent kind that went off, let her go. The poor girl earned her living by immoral living. You know what I mean. And so, that's the way she had of--of making a livelihood. We know it was horrible, but yet, maybe she'd been... We're going to think that she was turned into that, because there's some good behind the woman. It proved it. Right. Something back there was real. Then I believe Jesus knowed that when the Pharisee asked Him. Sure. He was going for that soul.
Then we find out, that she slips down to the other street, she looks up and down, her big pretty eyes glazed all around. "Why, where is everybody?" She walks down through the streets. It's all vacant.
