<TITLE>02. Par 9-16</TITLE>L-9   I want to thank each and every one of you, for this fine time of fellowship, Brother Leo and Gene. This has actually been three days of worship, for me. Even out in the jungle, when I try to let myself go and think I was hunting, I somehow or another, I look at you and hear you talk. I had the privilege this afternoon to visit your homes. I never seen, walked into any, I'm going to call it a village, that I ever seen so many clean, neat homes and people, and so much respect for Christ and the Gospel. I--I never seen it anywhere. And you're certainly started on the right road, just keep going and God will be with you. And I got to see some of you. I seen, the other day, these sisters, I didn't even know them, 'cause all I could see would just be about their eyes and nose, out from under one of those hoods. And now I believe I know you better, through the courtesy of Brother Leo and Gene, who taken me around and visit your homes; and get to shake hands with the--the little children, the prophets and prophetesses of the age to come, if there is an age to come.

L-10   You know, Jesus loves little children. You know, He does. And there was a little boy, one time, named Moses, we're going to talk about him in just in a little bit. And he was a very fine... You know what made him, helped make him a fine boy? He had a good mother to raise him. See, that's what. She taught him about the Lord. And you little boys and girls has got the same kind of mothers to raise you, teach you about the Lord. Just mind them.

L-11 You know what, you know what the first Commandment is in the Bible, the first Commandment with promise, with a promise? May be a little hard for you to understand these Commandments. The first Commandment, is, "Not to have any other god but Him." But the great Commandment... And the first Commandment that has a promise to it, see, is to the children. Did you know that? See, He said, "Children, obey your parents, which may lengthen the days upon the earth, that the Lord thy God has given thee." To mind your parents and do what you're doing, it may give you longer life upon the earth, that the Lord has given you, more time to serve Him.

L-12 I hope, today, that I'm looking at a bunch of preachers and singers and evangelists of the day that is to come, if there is a day after ours.

L-13   And there is only one thing up here, you--you kill a fellow with kindness. I eat till I couldn't eat, and I--and I never was treated so much. If I had been an Angel, dropped out of Heaven, I couldn't have been treated any nicer. The only thing I can say to you, is, "Thank you." And when you're down Tucson way, I might not be able to treat you that nice, 'cause I don't know how; I haven't got the manners to do it, but I'll do the best I can. Come down.

L-14 Brother and Sister Shantz, I want to certainly thank them. And I had the privilege of meeting your pretty, young daughter, and son, this afternoon. And--and for letting us have his home here open for worship. There was such things taking place in the Bible day, you know, that the Gospel was... I know it sounds very little. We, we would think it isn't. But this is just the same as God... to God, as them was in that day.

L-15 Remember, if there would be another many years, they would look back here and say, "If I'd have only lived in the days up there at Prescott! If I'd have only lived..." See? Now we are living in that day. See? Then we come down to the end of the road, then we wait for our reward at the big Day.

L-16   Now we're going to open the Word of God and read. But just before we do, let us speak to Him just a moment.
