L-1       [A group of children sing The Old-Time Religion--Ed.] If it's good enough for you all, it's good enough for us too.

L-2 [A brother says, "Now they give their present for you."--Ed.] My, that's sweet. [The children give Brother Branham a gift.] Thank you. [A sister says, "Just a little gift, Brother Branham, the children saved their pennies and nickels. And...?..."] Thank you. Thank you, my little brother. Thank you, children. I sure thank you, very, very much. And God bless you.

L-3 You know, Jesus said, "Insomuch as you give unto the least of these, you have done it to Me." You're the men and women of tomorrow. If there is a tomorrow, you will there.

L-4   [Blank.spot.on.tape. A group sings another song--Ed.] I believe I could preach four hours now, after all that. I was beginning to think I was getting tired. No wonder you little girls can sing so well, you little girls and little boys; listen how your big sisters sing, and your mothers, wonderful singers. That's really pretty. Who is this little girl that led that song, aren't you the little girl I met across there? Sure have a beautiful voice; all of you. You just... I believe the best singing I have ever heard, is right here. You all practice that all the time? [A brother says, "No. That's how we sing."] Well, I tell you, you--you certainly are blessed with some real good singing.

L-5   I like good singing. I just love real good singing. I've always said, when I get to Heaven I want to get where they're singing, and listen. I never could get my fill of singing.

L-6 You know, singing gives courage. You know that, don't you? The soldiers, when they're going to battle, you know what they do? They play music and sing, and things to give them courage. And when we're going to battle, we sing, and--and it gives us courage to go on.

L-7 I thank you little fellows for that nice gift. And it's... Mrs. Branham, and from Rebekah, and Joseph, and Sarah, and all of us, we thank you very much. It's hard to say, how to tell them little fellows, "No. You saved your pennies. I--I don't want to take it." You know how I feel, I don't want to take it. But yet I looked in here and they had a ten-dollar bill in this card. I thought, "Can I take that?" I thought, "How can I do it?"

L-8   But I remember a little story I want you to know. One day there was a widow woman, she had a bunch of children, perhaps her... them little children's papa was gone. And she only had two pennies. And she come down the street, one time... And it was tithing money, just pennies like you all saved, and she threw it into the treasury of God. Jesus was standing there, watching her. And I have wondered, "What would I have done if I had been standing there?" I would probably run up and said, "No, no, sister, don't do that. We--we don't, really don't need it. You need it for them children." See? Now, I wouldn't have let her done it. But Jesus let her do it. See, He let her do it. Why? He knows it's more blessed to give than it is to receive. He knowed what He would do for her, see.
So I thank you little fellows, with all my heart.
