<TITLE>19. Par 124-130</TITLE>L-124   And if you have to have a better machine to take it, then get a better machine. If it has to be... Now, I said to them, I said, "Every meet-... mission that I go into the field, before I go, I'll notify you what sermons I'm going to preach on out there, something that I've already..." And I promised you all, which I'm going to retape back again Sunday night, that "Before I preach any new message, it would come from this tabernacle first, because they seem to get a better recording." You remember that? Then when I come here to preach my messages, then go back out and notify the tape man what services. They ask me, "What ones? What you going to preach?" I told him, "this night I will on so-and-so, and this night on so-and-so," so they can have it made up and ready for the customer to get it right there; got it right with them, a better tape than they'd have out in the meeting, because it's made right here at the tabernacle where the acoustics are good. See?

L-125   Now, now I'm going into this great evangelistic, what I'm going to do now in overseas and things, I can't promise that, you see, I can't promise that I'll preach my first message here. Because when you preach around, the messages, you've got to have something that... It--it gets stale in you, and it's bound to get stale to the ones that's listening at it. You've got to do something different, you see, and bring just as the Message is there. But let them put a machine in the field, or whatever it is, that'll take these tapes perfectly.

L-126 And make a perfect tape, and each tape played back and checked before it goes, or just stop the whole thing; don't even have nothing to do with it, let every man make his own tape. See? But get it done right, see, so that this complaint will stop. We don't want no complaints at all. If there is a complaint, let's take care of it, then we'd have it over with.

L-127 Now, I'll hurry just as quick as I can. Billy got about two more questions here, or three, then we'll be finished.
127a        How far, Brother Branham, can or should a deacon go to keep order in the church? Should we keep the order or wait until Brother Neville tells us what we should do?

L-128 That isn't Brother Neville's job, that's your job. See? You don't tell Brother Neville what to preach on, how to preach it. See, that's your job, you deacons, you're supposed to do that. You take care of that. That's nothing to Brother Neville, that's your job. See?

L-129 Now, if a policeman's out here on the street and he sees a man stealing property out of a back of a car, should he call the mayor and say, "Now, Mayor, your Honor, sir, I am working for you here on this police force. Now, I find a man up the street here, he's--he was stealing some tires off of a car last night. Now, I just wonder, what's your opinion of that?" Huh! See? See, that wouldn't be sensible. Would it? No, sir. If he was doing something wrong, arrest him.

L-130 And if a man's doing something wrong here in the church, or anybody, stop them, talk to them. Don't be arrogant; but if they won't listen, speak in a way that they know what you're saying. See? See, like you tell a child, say, "Walk back there," and he's misbehaving. Deacons, stay at your place! Put... There's four of you, stay two in front and two in the back, on these corners or somewhere like that. And watch real close, for renegades and everything else come in like this, you see. And you be on the guard, and you get to your post of duty and stay there, that's your seat; or stand right beside a wall and watch everybody come in.
