<TITLE>18. Par 171-179</TITLE>L-171   As we got off of--of the stage or the--the little escalator, or elevator, rather, and started out, there was a hall, and there was two young women standing down there with just their underneath garment on. They had a bottle of whisky in their hand, and they were drinking. And they started down, and drunk men coming out of the house, so drunk, or the little rooms, trying to catch them and pulling their clothes down. And it was horrible-looking. And they come down, and I just ducked back in a little hall and waited till they passed by, a little door, and they stopped in front of me. And nice-looking women, and they were standing there just with their little underneath skirt on, all the clothes they had. They took this bottle, and trying to pour it on one another. One pulled up her underneath garment as high as she could pull it, throwed her leg up in the air, and holler, "Whoopee, this is life!"

L-172   I couldn't stand no more of it. I stepped out, and I said, "Sister, I beg your pardon. That's death. That's death."
She said, "Come have a drink."

L-173 And I said, "Wait just a minute." I said, "You said that was life." I said, "That's perverted life. Why do you try to do a thing like that?" Come to find out... I said, "I am a minister of the Gospel. I'm an American, too. And I'm ashamed of you. I'm ashamed of you to call yourself an American, and up here like that." Come to find out, one of them was a Sunday school teacher, and she started crying.

L-174 First they started to run, and I grabbed both of them by the hand. They was so drunk they couldn't get away. I said, "Wait, we're going to pray right here."
"There is a way that seemeth right."

L-175   Well, you say, "They're just having a little clean fun." A little clean fun? Nothing! That thing doesn't... I don't care how much Sunday school teacher you are. If that thing is in your heart, God can't dwell in that unclean place. What we need is an old-fashion holiness revival to sweep the church, from one end to the other. Yes, sir. We don't do that. That should not be permitted. But it's Americans having a little "clean fun," setting an example as a Christian nation. Oh, my! Educational system, that isn't Life. That's death.

L-176   What makes a person do that? Why do they do it? What makes the world do the way they do? Because they reject This. There is some little place in a man's heart, that thirsts for God. A little place, a man was made to thirst. You're set up like that. That's what makes you drink, that's what makes you do these things, is because there is something in you that craves for satisfaction, thirsting. And God forbid that a man will try to satisfy and hush that holy call of God with the substitute that the Devil would give him! You have no right to do that. That's God calling to you. That stuff is a thirst of death. And if you won't take Christ in there to fill that up, the Devil will give you a substitute of death in it. That's right. You have no right to do that. How dare any man or woman to hush that holy call in there, of God calling. And because you won't receive It, then the Devil will see it's satisfied with something else.

L-177 This is what satisfies it. "God's Word I've hid in my heart, that I sin not against Him." That's right. God in the heart, is what settles the question. Yes, sir.

L-178   Science can't give you Life. Education can't give you Life. Denomination can't give you Life. Schools can't give you Life. Nation can't give you Life. Church can't give you Life. It's only God can give you Life. He is the only one that can do it.

L-179 Now we see exactly that what the prophet said would come to pass in this day. The prophet, Paul, in Second Timothy 3, we find out that the time was coming when the church would be, "Heady, high-minded," know-it-all, see, "high-minded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, and despisers of those that are good."
You say, "That's communists." No. No.
