<TITLE>02. Par 9-16</TITLE>L-9   Now, I remember the morning I took a flashlight, I couldn't wait to see the Superstitious Mountain. I had to go up there. But my little flashlight was nothing. I couldn't see nothing. The great spooky shadows, and the man that's been killed on that mountain, in search for gold, and it--it holds many superstitions, truly. And as I tried with my little flashlight, to look around, I--I couldn't, couldn't see nothing, and everything was scarey. You know what I did? I just sat still until the sun come up. When that sun, which is the king of all light, when it raised up, my little flashlight didn't play anything, but all the spooks left. I seen Superstitious Mountain wasn't spooky. I was ready to walk into it, to discover it for myself, because that great light, the sun, which is the spoken Word of God. God said, "Let there be light." And that's the Word of God made manifest. And when it showed, all the spooks left.

L-10   And I think that way today, where I've been so misunderstood amongst brethren, may the great Light, the king Light... There is no other light. There is none of our manufacturing lights will shine out there today. No matter how many ball parks we throw, you can't see nothing, you have to look right into its face to see any kind of a light at all. This Sun puts it all out, because it's the manifested Word of God. And I think, when the manifested Word of God rises over all of our superstitions, they fade away. See? We are wanting to know what is Truth, what is the hour that we're living.

L-11   And, brethren, we sit here, this morning, as many different denominations, representing different denominations. I don't think that counts.

L-12 I used to herd cattle, up in Colorado. I remember a time when I'd... we'd have the round-up, in the Spring, drive the cattle up into the Arapajo Forest. I've set there, many a day, with my leg hung over the horn of the saddle, and watched the ranger as he counted those cattle as they went through the drift fence, off of private property, up into the forest.

L-13   Each ranch, to put a cow in there, has to have, be able to produce a bale of hay, I believe... not bale of hay, a ton of hay, I think it's two ton, to a cow, depends on how much the--the Chamber of Commerce will let you go in there with, your brand. Because, in this brand and this ranch produces so much hay, then you can put a cow on grazing up there in the forest. That is the forest is not over-run by cattle, then, and just enough to take care of them. Cause, everybody would be coming in. And I noticed... It was the Hereford Association that grazes that forest, in that part of it, the Arapajo Forest. And I watched the ranger.

L-14 Now, we, ours was the old turkey trot, Turkey Track. The Tripod was just above us. Mr. Grimes worked about fifteen man, he had several hundred heads of cattle. And we had a few cattle there, outfit I was working on, four or five hundred head. But Grimes went into maybe fifteen, eighteen hundred head, it was a bar, Diamond Bar.

L-15   And I watched the ranger. He has to stand there and count those cows as they goes through. You know, he never paid no attention to what brand they had on them. There was one thing he checked, was the blood tag in the ear, because they had to be a registered Hereford before they could graze. That's on account of keeping your pedigree. See, your cow must be bred, your calf must be from a pedigreed bull. And therefore, after so many cows, you have to have a bull. And they all mixed together. All has to be registered pedigreed cattle, thoroughbred. You keep your--your--your... the blood-stream running right, then, of a Hereford Association.

L-16   I thought, many times, "That's the way it'll be at the Judgment. He'll not notice what brands we're wearing, but He'll look for that Blood tag, Jesus Christ." It'll work.
