L-1      Be seated. This is a great opportunity, to come back again tonight. And a great blessing to me, to come and speak to you about our Lord Jesus, Whom I'm sure that most of you know, or I hope you do, in the pardoning of your sins and--and by the way of His grace, to you. And may He impart to you, tonight, more of His grace. When we leave here, may we be able to say, like those coming from Emmaus, "Our hearts burned within us, as He talked with us along the way." Now each one of you...

L-2   I believe they have a--a--a--a public relation man like him. Mr. Vayle here is having a--a lesson, kind of answering questions and talking on the Scripture. Is that here in this building? Right in this building, of a morning. And if anybody is free, and some ministers, or so forth, would like to visit, why, anybody is welcome. And Brother Vayle is quite a profound teacher. Really, he's got a good education.

L-3   And therefore, I said the other day, I--I wish I had an education. I have to use parables, like something another, to explain, you know. I don't have enough education to break it down. But somehow, or another, the Lord helps me get it by.

L-4 And so I remember, one time there was a--a man in the Scripture, his name was John, and his father was a priest. Usually, they followed what their father did. But he had really a message; he was to announce the Messiah. And now if he went down to the school of where his father went, they said, "Now, you know dear Brother So-and-so? That's just the Messiah," they almost had him talked into it. So, see, he didn't go to any school of that sort.

L-5   He went into the wilderness, where he learned of God. You notice his messages come out? He never had no education. He went in at nine years old, come out at thirty, preached six months, and was executed. Now we find that he used... Just like the Pharisees come out, and the Sadducees, and he said, "Oh, you generation of snakes!" That's what he had seen in the wilderness; snakes, something that's dirty and slimy, and deceiving. See?

L-6 Now somebody might have said, "Why, you little insignificant piece of inconvenience," or something. But he...

L-7 But, see, he knowed no words to use, so he just said, "You generation of snakes," that's what he had seen in the wilderness. Said, "Who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Don't begin to say, that 'We got, we belong to this and belong to that,' 'cause God is able of these stones," what he had seen, "to rise up children unto Abraham. And the axe is laid to the root of the tree." He knew what to do with a bad tree. "Ever who is bringing forth not good fruit, is hewn down and cast into the fire," to burn up the bad wood.

L-8 See, all of his message was something of nature, he patterned it. The common people understand that. And then they... I think sometimes it may be a little better to do than all these great big words that people learn in school.

L-9   Now, we was a little late last night, so we're trying to get you out just on time, tonight, if we possibly can. And I trust that the Lord won't let it rain too bad tonight, on this tin roof, so we'll just believe and--and try to serve Him, the best of our knowledge.
