<TITLE>04. Par 28-37</TITLE>L-28 And I said, "If that isn't a type of a good, old pentecostal meeting; just get so full of good, sweet stuff, they go out, and somebody lick off of it. That's a real fellowship meeting. Now we just come like this, to get our hands in the bucket, each one of us, plumb up to the elbow, of God's blessings. And I'm sure you'll find that at the revival that's being down at the Assemblies of God, going on down there now. The Lord bless you.

L-29   I said in Phoenix, the other day, a little... I hope it didn't sound sacrilegious, about a little joke about a minister that would go to the platform every morning, for twenty years, solid, he would preach twenty minutes, and then be done, and so they couldn't understand why it was. And so, one morning, he preached about four hours. And the--the deacons called him back, and--and said, "Pastor, we really love you." Said, "We--we think your messages are wonderful." And said, "We know, as a deacon board, we've watched you and timed you, exactly twenty minutes every Sunday morning." And said, "This morning it was four hours." Said, "We just don't understand."

L-30 Said, "I'll tell you, brethren." He said, "Every morning, when I go to preach," said, "when you call me to the platform, I reach in and put one of these Life Savers under my tongue. And," said, "in twenty minutes, when that Life Savers is gone," said, "I--I--I am finished," he said, "I know it's time to quit." And said, "What was the mistake this morning, I got a button."

L-31   Carl Williams, Jewel Rose, real bosom brothers and friends of mine, they went downtown the other day, and got a button about that big around, to give me, and, but I haven't got it this morning. So, we're grateful to be here.

L-32 Now, does anyone in here know Doctor Lee Vayle? I don't think... maybe not. He was a Baptist preacher, Doctor of Divinity, and he has got his degrees. He was a high school teacher, to begin with, and he is a very fine, scholarly man. And my tapes of The Seven Church Ages, I sent them to him, to grammarize them. Because, my old Kentucky "hit, hain't, and tote, and carry, and fetch," that don't go good for people who reads the books, so he was going to grammarize it for me. And then, after he got through, sent it back a couple times, for more statements. Which, the book is going to press now, after about three or four years.

L-33 He asked me, he said, "Can I write a book, just my comments?"
And I said, "Well, it's all right, Brother Lee." And I thought...

L-34 Then he said, "I'm going to say something." Said, "It's not to be sold; given away."
I said, "Well, then, I'm sure that's all right." See?

L-35   And so they had a sponsorship, of about ten people to sponsor it, which cost them about fifteen hundred dollars, I think, I understand, for ten thousand of them. And so we--we got them, it all come off the press a couple days ago, and we got just two or three, yesterday, and Billy brought them up. And they're--they're giving them away. Now, I've never read it, I don't know what he said. But I'm... This is by faith. But I'm sure, if you'd like to have one, if you'd just write us, it'll be sent to you, free. See? And it's called Twentieth-Century Prophet.

L-36 And then I noticed in the picture here, in the front of the book, many of you has got this picture, of course, and seen It, that's where the Angel of the Lord was taken at Houston, Texas. But they cut part of It off.

L-37   Then I see here in the back. And how many here has ever been in one of the meetings, let's see? I guess practically all of you have. You hear me say, many times, "That shadow hanging over someone." Now, see, if you make a statement, and it isn't the truth, God won't have anything to do with it. You know God is not associated in lies, but He only backs up what is true.
