<TITLE>04. Par 11-15</TITLE>L-11 A Chinaman one time (There may be some Chinese here tonight.), he said, "You Americans don't read right." He said, "You all read across the page like this." And said, "I am going to read John 3:16 for you." He said, "You say, 'God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son... whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish.'" Said, "You're saying, 'No, no, no.'" And said, "We Chinese, we read up and down the page, 'God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son.'" That right. That's right.

L-12 Traveling around meeting different people in different nations, it's amazing but to find out all God's children are wonderful people. No matter what language, what they are, they're all God's children, and very sweet. And I--I love them all. Norwegians, Swedes, and Finns, and... In Finland, that's where the little boy was raised from the dead. You probably read the story there.
And that's five straight times, by doctor's examination that five people, being dead, being by the grace of God through a vision called their life back to them again. And that's signed doctor's statements. You see? You read that in the "Christian Business Men" not long ago about the little Mexican baby?

L-13 Now, that... you see, before you put anything in print you've got to be able to prove it. See? You can say it. That's all right, 'cause you can deny it. But when you put it in print, you better have it right. And so this little Mexican baby, the doctor signed that it had died that morning down in Mexico there. There was thousands. Well, one altar call produced twenty thousand people at one time. And this little Mexican baby...
Now, they were all Catholic, and they were...
Oh, it's such a just... They come there at nine o'clock at morning, and wait till I got there at nine that night, waiting for us to come. And I come on the platform. Been raining all day, just pouring down, and they stood right there, right in that rain.

L-14 Night before that there was an old Mexican brother come across the platform, no shoes on, trousers all ragged, an old hat sewed up with twine cord. And he was coming across the platform, shaking, like that. He reached in his pocket and got out a--some beads to say a "Hail Mary." And I said, "That's not necessary." The interpreter, Brother Espinosa... Some of you Assembly of God people would know Espinosa. He's with... And so he was my interpreter. And I said, "That's not necessary."
So he come up, and I looked. And there I was, standing there with a good pair of shoes on, nice suit somebody give me. And there that poor old brother was, didn't have no shoes, didn't have no suit. His coat was ragged, no shirt at all, dusty. Probably the old fellow never had a good meal in his life. And I just got through eating a fine meal.

L-15 Remember, he's a--he's a man that Christ died for, same as me or anybody else. Got just as much right as I have. Probably a bunch of little kiddies at home, or maybe young folks then, 'cause he'd have been about the age of my father, and there was totally blind.
And I put my foot up the side of him. The congregation couldn't see. Oh, the platform was about as long as this building is across, and I put my shoe up the side of his foot to see if it would fit him. I'd give him my shoes. And I thought that. And his feet was much larger.
Then I tried my shoulders to his shoulders. My coat wouldn't have fit him. I thought, "O God, there he is." And I seen his gray hair hanging down, his eyes white. I thought, "If I could only help him some way." You've got to feel for people, or you can't do no good when you pray for them. You got--you got to feel for them. I thought, "What if my daddy would've lived? He'd have been about that age." He's probably somebody's daddy. And I thought...
And then, just think that Satan has been so evil to him. Nature has got him in the condition he's in probably in this poverty-stricken... And here he don't even have eyesight to see to get around.
