<TITLE>02. Par 9-15</TITLE>L-9   But I think, for the sake of this mother, a human being, a mother of children, Mrs. Kennedy, couldn't we just stand a moment for a prayer for her?

L-10 Lord Jesus, we human beings, we have a feeling for one another. And we are sorry, Lord, that our President was shot down the way he was, in cold-blooded murder. And we're so sorry that our nation has come to this spot, that such people like that are--are in our nation, that would kill a human being in cold-blooded murder; like they shot that colored brother not long ago, and just shot him right down in cold-blood, of race prejudice. And we're so sorry that such people exist among us, Lord. We, our weakness, has brought this about.

L-11 And we pray for Mrs. Kennedy, that wife of this, the President. And know them little babies looking upon their--their father, that left them a few days before that, happy man, and scuffled and played with them on the floor. Now they have no father. And for that woman that... his wife, that her own husband fell right in her lap, and his blood run out upon her dress; just burying her baby.

L-12   And yet, Lord, we might believe the woman being in the wrong, of the--the--the way that she has set a pace in the nation, of her dressing and so forth; but that--that could be to the American people, in whole, they, that that's what they want. So we--we pray for her, this morning, that You'll help her. And may there be a time in this deep bereavement that she'll find what is Truth, Jesus Christ! Grant it, Lord, the One Who only can give peace and comfort in the hour of trouble.

L-13 And help us, Lord, to continue to be, with all of our hearts, a shining light, that we don't know what time or what influence we might be having upon somebody else. Let us shine forth the Light of Christ until He comes. Then the Great Shepherd of the flock, Who knows all justice, will bring every sin into recompense, and He'll know just how to do it. And till then, we commit ourselves into Your hands, for Your love and mercy upon us. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-14   Yes, I don't think no man deserves to die like that. Now, Mr. Lincoln didn't deserve to die like that. Mr. McKinley didn't deserve to die like that. Huey Long didn't deserve to die like that; none of them fellows. I don't believe in that. Murders, that's bad. Our boys didn't fight oversea for something like that. Our flag wasn't raised for something like that. We're not American citizens for something like that. No. Although, our nation is warped and twisted with sin, that's what--that's what does these things. That's sin.

L-15   Now, today we got... I'm going to teach Sunday school, and a couple of things that I would like to make mention it to the church. And that is, the first thing, I'd like to you forgive me for holding you all so long on Sunday mornings when I have these Messages. And then if the Lord will... The reason I do this, is because that I--I'm here in among my people and I--I teach doctrines just as strong as I know how. I don't teach these doctrines out to other places. I just stand on the--the main fundamentals of the Gospel. But these doctrines that's strong, I--I don't teach them out in--in other places. And then, here, it takes me an hour, sometime, two or three hours, to get through my Message. And I hold you here sometimes, twelve-thirty, one o'clock. And that's just minor what I used to do. I'd stay all night, nearly, sometime. I've went, we're started in, many a time, to eight o'clock and go home the next morning at two or three, that's right, from my meetings.
