<TITLE>02. Par 6-11</TITLE>L-6 And I'm sure in leaving here, I'm taking a blessing from being with you. It's been a great thrill to my heart to see that there is still people on the earth, even after the revival is over, that's still trying to press on for the Kingdom of God. I appreciate men of that caliber, and I--and you people. (I suppose all the debts was made, everything?) All expenses was made. You had to sponsor that. You had to pay for it. Wish I could've just paid for it myself, but I--I can't do that. I can't afford it; I haven't got money like that. And I... The reason I can come to small meetings, as I have explained...
Now, there's some of our brethren, such as Brother Roberts, and many of those men, who have great business, and they have radio and television, and so forth, that they've got to make so many thousands of dollars every day to sponsor that. See? They have to have it.

L-7 Well, the Lord always knows what He's doing. He knowed--He knowed not to put me in nothing like that. It'd drive me crazy. See? I--I couldn't do it. I just haven't got the mental powers to do it, and... But He did let me have people who love me, and I--and I try to take what little I have got to put my part into the Kingdom.
Now, Brother Roberts, and Brother Allen, and all those other brothers who have the great meetings, we're all working for one Kingdom (You see, see?), all of us working for one place. And each man is trying with his gifts that God has give him to throw souls into that Kingdom.

L-8 Well, with my little part, I'm trying my part to put with theirs to push you up towards Father, and I don't have to have nothing but just the--the expense, the meeting, the people. I would have it in churches. Used to do it until it got so pathetic, in cold countries and hot, and people standing around the churches, the little sick children to be prayed for, and wives, and be disappointed. So then we got to letting them rent auditoriums and just let the people pay for it. That's took up. That's all of it. It settles it.

L-9 And I'm--I'm very grateful for men of big caliber that has great meetings and so forth. I'm very thankful for those men. Here some time ago I stood by Brother Roberts, one of the most successful one in that line and in the--out on the field today, I guess, is Brother Oral Roberts, fine Christian brother. And I'd just been over to Brother Tommy Osborn. And both of those brothers came into the ministry by coming to one of our meetings when we first started. And then I--I...
And Tommy Osborn, anyone knows that precious brother, he's--he's just one of the finest men. He's just a darling. And I've been over to his place and seen his big business for the Lord and seen his books, and his secretaries, and the big IBM's.

L-10 And I went over to Oral's then, and went through that great millions of dollar building, how they imported, and the ceiling all woven with aluminum wires, and oh, I felt unclean to walk on the floors of--of the place, and the great offices, and see five or six hundred IBM machines running. And mail's not even touched with human hands. See? Just come in there, and go through machinery, come through opened up, went down through conveyers, and through this and out, and gone like that, never touched by human hands.
And I thought, "My, my, what a system."

L-11 Then they put... There was some of my friends waiting outside on the front. Then the big gang gathered up there, and I couldn't go out the front way. They had to take me out the back way. And I went out; two policemen come in and taken me out. I went into the parking lot around on the other side, and I was standing there looking. No windows in the thing, just some kind of an indirect lighting. How perfect. You see them take a coffee break there, and just hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. And I think, "What a tribute to a faith of one man, one little Oklahoma boy, that God would grant such a thing." I thought, "God, I thank You for that."
