<TITLE>02. Par 5-11</TITLE>L-5 Now, don't forget now, that the--the... what we're seeing here is the cause for this trial, is, the Word of God versus the world. The cause for the indictment, is, a breach of promise, that is, that the world claims that God made a promise that's not true. That's a breach of promise, "He don't keep His promise." And the prosecuting attorney in this case is Satan, that represents the world. And the Defendant is God Himself. And the Defense Witness is the Holy Ghost.
And now we call the court to order.

L-6   And now the prosecuting attorney is going to call his first witness to the stand and swear him in. And, now, he has three witnesses this afternoon I want to use, he wants to use, rather, in this trial. And these witnesses are Mr. Unbeliever, the next is Mr. Skeptic, and the next one will be called will be Mr. Impatience. Now, these are the witnesses against the case, that, "God doesn't keep His Word. His Word isn't true."

L-7   And we can see, before we start the trial, that--that so many of the world tries to say that God's Word is not true. For instance, this I just read, I was reading the footnotes on Scofield. And I was thinking of a story that was told me one time. I think... don't think I have ever quoted it, especially in this meeting. But, that a--a woman one time had a fine young boy, he wanted to be a minister. So she was kind of a poor sort of a woman, and she wanted her boy to get all the good schooling and training he could (which, any mother would want her boy, if he was called to such as that), would be the very best training that could be gotten, why, she wanted him to have it. So she sent him away to the very best religious seminary that she knowed where to send him.

L-8   Well, he had been there about a year, and one day his mother took violent sick, she was real bad off. And--and they kept calling and sending telegrams. She was living by herself. That he might have to be called home because she took a real serious cold, and it run into double pneumonia, and had congestion in... of the lungs, and she looked for to die. Her heart was showing up too bad. So the faithful physician was doing all that he knowed how to do, to save the woman's life, and she constantly got worse. So the--the physician sent a telegram to the young fellow, and said, "Stand by at once. Get your airplane reservations, where you may have to come to your mother at any time, because she looks like she's pretty close to the point of death." And then the boy, all upset, got his clothes ready and was fixing to catch a plane. And--and a telegram come straight back from his mother, "Don't come, son. I got all right."

L-9   So then about a year later, or six months later, I believe it was, that he returned to his home. And after greeting his mother, and they was having fellowship together, he said, "Mother, there's one question that still lingers in my mind." Said, "When you were so sick," and said, "you never did write and tell me the details. You just said you got well, and you never did tell me the details of how this come about."

L-10 She said, "Son, you know down the street here, right where that old grocery store used to stay on a certain place?"
"Yes."

L-11 There's a bunch of people down there that worships in that little building."
"Yes," said, "I remember them, they're the Pentecostals."
