<TITLE>07. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 And I thought, "Well, I guess maybe, why didn't--where... If I was out there, why didn't I have something like that?" I thought, "I'd sure hate for them to come to my place, one little typewriter setting in the end of a trailer; and begging somebody to come help me to get the letters out." I thought, "Well, you see, maybe God couldn't trust me. See? Maybe if I'd got like that, well, I might not have been myself." And I thought, "But I'm so thankful to God that He could find somebody that He could trust like that."
I wouldn't want you to say nothing about... I don't mean this any different, but while I was standing there I got crying. And I thought, "Well, Father knew that I--no education. Them boys, how lovely, precious..." I just turned around and started walking back, waiting for the car to come. I stood there and looked at that great big building. Just as plain as I ever heard a voice, it said, "I'm your Portion." Now, that's--that's all right. "I am your Portion."
I said, "Thank You, Lord. Then what little I have, I'll do the best I can to put the portion that You give me to the Kingdom of God."

L-27 Now, that's the way I've tried to stay, little. I don't have nothing. We got some books, but they don't belong to me. They belong to Brother Gordon Lindsay. We just buy them on forty percent that we can... And I have to give the men money to get back home on, since they come up the west coast with these books. And many of them got ruined; give them to people, anybody wants them, they ain't got any money, why, they can have them anyhow. See?
So I've tried to shun money. I never took a offering in my life. And I thought, "What would I do if I had to sponsor something big?" I--I couldn't do it. Just, I just couldn't do it. That's all. So the great, infinite God knew that.

L-28 So what little I have got that He has given me, I'm trying to share it with you brethren. See, you--you are the church. And may we all just stay one (See?), and--and just stay together as brothers. And let's share what we got with each other. See? That way, we're--we're in a great battle, and we're--we're battling sin--not one another. If we're going to fight one another, then--then Satan can set back and just let us fight it out. See? But let's turn our--everything we got towards the Kingdom, and put our shoulders one with the other, start moving upward, and work for there, because I don't think we got too much longer. I think we're right at the end of the road. Maybe just 'cause I'm getting to be an old man that I think that. But I--no, it isn't that, because I've thought that all the time. I--I believe that we're at the end of the road. And let's pray, and help, and support.

L-29 Now, there's Brother--Brother Roberts and them, they--they--they got... See, now, I don't want you to think that I'm saying anything against Brother Roberts. He's one of the finest men I ever met, and Tommy Osborn, many, and Tommy Hicks... And those brethren are fine brethren. What I'm trying to say. You see, with... Now, Brother Roberts, I think, has a college education. He's smart. And he... And God has just blessed that man in such a way, he's just got everything around him there to look... All of us people, if we... God has 'lotted us our part, and 'lotted him that part, but all the parts make one part. It goes to the Kingdom of God. You see? We want to put ourselves together.
Now, if I try to separate myself from Brother Roberts, that would be doing the same thing that I've been talking about: one organization separating itself from the other. Let's be one big group (See?), just one big group.
