<TITLE>25. Par -</TITLE>L-41-3 Now, he didn't have no absolute now. He knowed he had power by the vision to give her the child, but now what could he do? He took his staff and went down in the room, put--shut all the doors, taken everybody else out. He walked up and down the room. He had an absolute if he could only contact it. Back and forth, up and down the room... Oh, my. Directly he felt something strike him; he laid hisself on the baby, got back up again, went away. The--the baby kinda moved, got warm. He raised back and forth; he didn't get a good contact with the absolute. "What was it, Lord? What'd You say do?"
No doubt when he turned, he saw a vision: that little boy run playing, jumping in the rope, something or other like that--playing. He throwed hisself upon the baby; he stuck his nose upon its nose, his lips upon its lips; and the power of God raised up the baby to life. What was it? The woman's absolute was the prophet; the prophet's Absolute was God. And together with the Word, "I am the Resurrection and the Life," the power of God, that Creator...?... She raised up again, the baby.

L-41-5 Sure. The reason every man done in his own way, because they had no prophet for the Word of the Lord to come to. The Word and the prophets was missing in that day.
Oh, I seen this at my conversion, of the day that we lived in. I'm so glad that God got ahold of me before the church did. I'd probably been an infidel. Yes, sir. I... All this conglomeration of mess and everybody. "Well, come over and join ours. And if you don't, well, you can pick up your letter and go join the other one." Oh.
"Won't you bring your letter into our fellowship?"
I believe there's one letter; that's when Christ writes your name on the Lamb's Book of Life. That's the only one it's on.

L-42-1 When I seen all the denominations... Our background is Irish, which was formerly Catholic, and I seen that was corrupt and rotten. I went down to a certain denominational church here in the city; they said, "Oh, we're the way, the truth, the light; we got all of it."
I went to another one in New Albany. "Oh, my. Them guys up there don't know what they're talking about."
Catholics said, "You're all wrong."
I thought, "Oh, my."
I played with a little Lutheran boy, and I thought--a little German Lutheran; I went over and I said, "Where do you go to church at?"
"I go to that church."
I went down, and I found out they said they were the way. And I went down to Brother Dale, in Emmanuel Baptist, or the First Baptist; they said, "This is the way."
And I went over to the Irish church, they said, "But this is the way."
I thought, "Oh, my. I'm so confused; I don't know what to do. But I want to get right."

L-42-6 I didn't know what to do, and I didn't know how to repent. I wrote a letter. I thought, "I seen Him in the woods." I wrote Him a letter; I said, "Dear Sir, I know You pass down this path here, 'cause I set here squirrel hunting. I know You come by, and I know You're here. I want You... I want to tell You something."
I thought, "Now, wait a minute. I--I never seen anybody I didn't... I want to talk to them; I--I want to speak with them. I--I want to talk to Him." I thought, "Well now, I don't know how to do it."
