<TITLE>25. Par -</TITLE>1L-183-188 No, don't... The man are suppose--you're not... A man's not supposed to use that authority over a woman just because he's her ruler. God is her ruler above you, brother. See? And if your wife is doing something wrong, then don't--then you got a right to tell her, and she's supposed to listen to you. But you haven't got no right to beat her, or drag her around, or--or do those things. No, sir.
You see, God made man a helpmate, not a doormat. Remember, she's--she was your sweetheart; she should always be that.

1L-183-Q-430 430. When and where will the people of God gather for the last Word?
In Christ. Yep. For the last day, they'll gather in Christ, Don't forget that now. We got a gathering place; we got it just exactly.

1L-184-Q-431 431. We are called... (Now, here's that question the other day.) We are called unclean birds, because we go to Junior Jackson's church. Sometimes because we're with the--the... He don't comply with the new church rules here at the church. Are we out of the perfect will of God to attend there at times?
No, sir. I believe Junior Jackson to be a man of God. I've already explained it. I believe...
Now, we don't agree upon the order of the church. Now, I believe that Junior's--Junior... Why he... How many knows Junior Jackson? Why, we know that man's a godly man. He believes this Message just the same as I do, and he believes these things. Frankly, Junior and I are just buddies, just like the rest of these men here, J. T., and--and Brother Ruddell, and Brother Jackson, and Brother Beeler, and all of these brothers here; all of us, we're together. Now, we don't--might not see just eye-to-eye alike (See?), but we believe this same Message (See?), and we stick together. There's Brother Hume over there too, a missionary, and oh, so many different ones, I... Sometimes I don't even get to call their names, but you--you know I mean you anyhow, brother. Sure.

1L-184-193 You'd like to get away from doing nursing...
I asked that. Remember? It's a dear sweet sister that wanted to know about doing nursing.
When I was small I was--told everybody that I wanted to be a preacher. (I got that. I got that too.) Then what should he do about it today?
Well, this is a letter from a--a minister worker for Christ, that's not... It's just a personal letter to me. It's from Brother Pat Tyler, one of our brothers here at the church.
That's all of them. Thank the Lord. I'm grateful to you people. I just get the... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
... are one,
Our comforts and our care.

1L-184-195 Wonder if Sister Wilson's still in the building? I seen her here. You know what I was doing awhile ago, Sister Wilson? I was looking at the pictures when we laid the cornerstone. I looked upon the picture and seen Hope and I before we were married. I didn't even know that... I remember seeing a picture when I come out of one of my fights, when I won a championship. Looked at my picture the other night when I was state game warden here in Indiana. And I think of the church. You know, I guess there's not but about one person setting here tonight out of that group that's left. How many's here from the time we laid the cornerstone back there at the beginning, raise your hand.
My Brother, Sister Wilson, I want you--to ask you two something. Remember how we all started? Remember the old floor when it was all full of mud? Had old windows that shook. We had eighty cents to start it on. A big pile of weeds, all this was woods like behind us here when we built it, the Tabernacle.
