<TITLE>16. Par 59-62</TITLE>L-59 Some of you Pentecostal women, it's a shame. That's right. You men will let them do it; you're worse than they are by doing it. That's right. A man's supposed to be the ruler of his own house. That's right. But what have we got today? No wonder we can't have faith. No wonder there can't be a healing services in America. We've got away from God.
Not long ago I stood there in South Africa at a meeting one day and seen as many as ten thousand native women, didn't know right and left hand, naked as they come in this world, and receive Christ as personal Saviour. And while they were standing there with their hands up and received Him, when they dropped their hands, they folded their hands and walked away, covering up as much of them as they could: Holy Ghost, Himself, making them know they were naked.

L-60 How can you say that that blanket native who knows nothing about God, received the Holy Ghost and realize they're naked, and these American women stripping every year, and claim to be, singing in choirs, and Christians, supposed to be. There's something wrong somewhere, and it ain't with God or His Bible. And you know that's true. No wonder we can't have revivals. No wonder we can't press into this. No wonder that things can't happen. The Tutor's coming before the Father, shaking His head.
Oh, my. That's terrible the way they're doing. Well, that's true. What's the matter? Some little ticket, meal ticket or something, or--or a little something that somebody's afraid to say something. That's God's Word. Preach It or leave It alone.

L-61 Now. Strange thing. Some lady said to me not long ago... I'd--I made a remark after coming back. She had a lot of manicure on, you know the--you know the--what is you call it? The... I seen one the other day. Honest, I--I felt so... I was at Clifton's at the Business Men's breakfast. And I was standing down there waiting for Brother Arganbright to come up, and one of these women come up with one of these water-head haircuts, you know, one of them big things like that. I never seen such a outfit in my life. That--that might have been a nice looking woman, but she looked like a prehistoric animal. And she was standing there. I ain't--I ain't saying that for a joke. That's--this is no place for joking. This is the Bible. This is God's truth. And there she stood there with--with blue over her eyes and--and red over the top of that.

L-62 And, oh, I--I said, "I'm a..." I've seen pellagra. I've seen leprosy. But I never seen anything like that. I thought the woman--I thought the woman was sick, and I walked over to her, was going to ask her--tell her, I'd say, "Sister, pardon me. But I'm a missionary. I pray for the sick. Could I help you?" And just about time when, here come two or three more women up the same way.
And I thought, "You don't mean to tell me these Americans are acting like that?" I could see the natives out there do that. That's a heathen trait. I can see them put mud on their face, and things, and make color. But nothing in a what civilized people is supposed to be. You talk about civilization. We're... The old pinnacle's swung backwards. That's exactly right. Oh, such a disgrace.
