<TITLE>06. Par 50-61</TITLE>L-50   That's the kind of men we need. The kind of mothers we need, a woman, a mother of this day, that will take the right stand and do what's right. Regardless of what the other women does, do what's right. It's such a pity to see our nation in such a scrimmal as it is today.

L-51 I got up, little late this morning, to get to the breakfast. I went to a place, and to get some coffee. And there's a little lady come out to serve me. And she had... Wife and I were setting there. And she had her eyes blue, you know, that stuff--stuff over her eyes.

L-52 And I seen one of those in Los Angeles one time, the first one I ever seen, the ladies made up in that way. I--I--I thought that. I--I was going to walk up and tell her I was a missionary, and I had seen pellagra and leprosy, and, but I had never seen anything like that. And I was going to ask her if I could not pray for her, and--and, now, and tell me what kind of disease she had. And I was a little afraid of it. And I had never seen anything quite like it. And I, when I walked over... I was waiting for Brother Arganbright and one of the businessmen, and the officials. And another girl walked up, looked just like her. I thought, "Say, I--I might be wrong here. That, she might have did that herself." And it was a very attractive girl, would have been, if she had just washed her face and looked like a human. But she was so...

L-53   Now, when some of these movie stars, or somewhere (I don't know where it comes from), when they will do a thing like that, some woman with some kind of an influence, then that influences the rest of the nation to try to do the same. That's right.

L-54 When our Pentecostal women was allowed to cut their hair, because some minister let down in the pulpit, then the rest of them said, "Well, So-and-so's wife does it. Can't we?" See, it's the influence that you place upon it, some of them.

L-55 This little lady this morning was such a nice little lady. She was a very sweet, and just as respectable as she could be. And when we... She left the table, and turned around. My wife looked across the table at me. And I said, "You know, it's just a pity that some devil..." And I'm not reluctant to say, "Devil." "That has coped up such a thing, to bring our American women under such influence as that heathen traits. Influence! Somebody started it.

L-56 But don't you never go by what some, see, somebody of this country, I don't care, other country, or--or some minister's wife, or somebody else. Don't you never be influenced by them. You let the Bible influence you to the thing that's right.

L-57   And that's wrong, now. And then we--we shout, and dance, and speak in tongues. And--and the glory of God, we claim, is on us. And then go out to such as that? There is something wrong.

L-58 Now, I believe in these things, these shouting, and speaking in tongues, and dancing in the Spirit.

L-59 But, brother, how could God tolerate such a thing as that, when He's against it? And He says so in His Word. And our women has become in our churches, which is merely practiced many times, dressing, sex appeal. It's very seldom ever spoke against from the pulpit. And yet we shout, and jump around, and speak in tongues. That's the reason that this great move called Pentecostal is not getting anywhere, is because there's no sincerity behind it. It becomes an emotion.

L-60 And because I say them things, many say, "He's a woman hater. He, he's different from..."

L-61 It's not trying to be different. It's trying to be sincere. I believe that we're in the last day. And we got a great Message, but all of our shouting and speaking in tongues will be of no effect. You can see it among us. You can see that we're growing in numbers, but are we growing in power? We're still on the same grounds that we were when we started forty years ago. Where, we should already be over in the promised land.
