<TITLE>05. Par 43-53</TITLE>L-43   And Brother Lee Vayle sitting here, I guess it's all right to say it, we just... He had come down, and this fine scholared Baptist here had... I baptized him in the Name of Jesus Christ, here in the pool the other day, Brother Lee Vayle. And so he's really a fine man, a brother in Christ. He's preached for us here before, and highly intellectually educated, and, besides that, a Spirit-led man. When the Light flashed across him, he said he tried to get away, but just couldn't do it, so I baptized him right here the other morning. Couldn't stand it any longer, so we just come down here and put on our clothes and went in, and was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ.

L-44   Well, I thought, being that he had taken that fine spiritual food, maybe to talk a little bit we would take some natural food. So we goes over to the Blue Boar, and sets down, was talking, and the subject come up, "How do you let people talk about you like that?"

L-45 Now, Brother Vayle is one of the finest man I ever knowed, but he's "just a little too quick on the trigger," I always told him, you know. And so, he, so I said... I hope that's all right, Brother Vayle. So he... I said, "Don't fly loose all at once. Sit still. God is the One that's doing it."

L-46 He said, "Ah, it might be all right for you," he said, he said. But, well, he--he... I believe he--he is so smart till that's what he's meeting, those smart intellectual people; so he just knows how to pour it in there, and they ain't got no place to stand. That's all.

L-47   So I said, "Look, Brother Vayle." We was sitting at the Blue Boar. I said, "David, one day, after being throwed from the throne by his own son, run off the throne, mutiny, Israel divided, and David took off the throne by his own son, and was going out of the city, weeping. And a guy that didn't like his last-day message, you know; he didn't care for him; little old fellow, kind of crippled up, going along there, making fun of him, and he spit on David. And that guard drew that sword, said, 'I'll let the head of that dog stay on him, that spit on my king?' David said, 'Let him alone. The Lord told him to do that.' See? Spit on him, making fun of him, and then spit on him. Said, 'The Lord told him to do that.'" Well, we know the story, how it returned back. Brother Vayle thought that took a whole lot of grace to do that.

L-48   So no more than coming back and entering the office, the public accountant called Billy Paul and told him about this. So Brother Vayle went up the house with me. When I walked in, I said to the wife... Long about sometime in the afternoon. We went in a room. I said, "I got something to tell you, Honey."

L-49 We just been talking before I left. She said, "Bill, I know that God sent you out there; we all know that, but He never told you come back. He said... Now, that's where I'm worried about."

L-50   I said, "Well, I think it's for you and the children. Don't matter for me. I'm going to serve Him, Lord willing, wherever I go." And so walked back, and I told her about it like that. So I just turned around, laid my hat up.

L-51 And somebody said something, about, "Oh, this tax collector! We ought to go out..." Just kind of raided out something like that.

L-52 Not thinking of what I had told of Brother Vayle, I said, "Let him alone. Maybe the Lord told him to do that."

L-53 I no more than said that, till a Light flashed on the wall and wrote across there, Brother Vayle and my wife sitting there, "Come on back to Arizona." With letters wrote across the wall, "Come on back to Arizona." That's right. So here I go, amen, back to Arizona.
