<TITLE>06. Par 54-64</TITLE>L-54 And so just keep your radio on, and listen at that fine music. And I--I think I--I appreciate. I--I wish I could take it home with me, KAIR, and put it in Louisville somewhere, a station like that, that broadcasts Christian music all the time. I like that. The Lord bless that station, KAIR.

L-55 And then, there's another station out there. I don't remember the--the letters to it, but it also has a fine lot of religious music. And I tell you; I hope I don't embarrass the man by saying I listen to Brother Gilmore all the time. He's on that station some of the time. And I just forget what the station is. But they also have... KAIF? [A brother says "No, KFIF."--Ed.]. KFIF. That's another fine station. We appreciate them, too.

L-56   You know, it's just like the old saying, if we count our blessings, look around, it's kind of surprising to see how many good people is left in the world, and how many nice things we still have. The Lord be praised. I'm glad to be an American. I'm glad, as a missionary, coming from other lands, and so forth, and coming in home.

L-57 Oh, it makes me heartache to see the way, how luxurious we live, and the rest of the world starving. And--and to see the fine places, a big fine church on every corner, and--and those poor people over there, and many of them never even heard the Name of Jesus Christ.

L-58   I had little black boys stand by the thousands, tears running down their cheeks, not even one stitch of clothes on, don't know which is right and left hand, just stay all day and all night, setting there, listen to me talk about the Lord Jesus, see, never heard It before. Tell them that--that there is somebody that loves them. Oh, my. That's what they want to hear, something that... somebody that loves them.

L-59 Who doesn't want to be loved? We all want that. We all need it. And then, the way to get it, is do... love somebody else, then you'll be lovable.

L-60 God bless you all. I hope to see you in the morning at the breakfast, those who can. And I think they'll be selling the tickets at the office in the morning also. And if you come for breakfast, why, I'm sure we'll get a little more molasses if we have pancakes. And then... And maybe some don't always require that many, you know. And so when I...

L-61   One time, I was preaching in a Missionary Baptist church down in Georgia. It was a... I preached way up in the night, and had a big altar call. I... It was late. And I was sleeping on a back porch, and the wind blowing in, an old screened-in porch. And I was--I was tired. They get up, four o'clock, down there. And so the old colored woman come out. She called me, three or four times. And I never forget it. She said, "Parson." That means "preacher," down there. "Parson," said, "honey, why don't you get up?" Said, "I done cooked your flapjacks four times already." Bless her old heart. She was about seventy then. I guess she's gone on to Glory now, and rest. "Cooked your flapjacks four times, already, this morning."

L-62   Now, everybody love the Lord? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] So glad. Aren't you glad to know, just, you can be free, and feel happy, and no condemnation?

L-63 And I want to thank this little quartet here for staying over. I know they were scheduled other places. And they said... I'll be listening at you, on your records. I got some of them, and the tapes, and things. I think you're very fine.

L-64 And this little girl here. My, oh, my! She, she is part mockingbird. She just really can really sing, and the little boys, also. And I told that little fellow, the little fellow wears the glasses. I met him the other night, and I said, "Son, you're going to make a bass, one of these days." He kind of laughed, and looked over those glasses. I said, "You kind of wondered how I said it." I said, "Well, you sound like a bumblebee in a jug now." And He got his kick out of that. And they're fine people. The Lord bless you.
