The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. Amen.

Can I just say thank you to everyone? When I can't hear myself, I'm scared no one else can hear me. It's on. Perhaps it should be a little bit louder, but not that loud that it'd blast us. Anyway, I'd like to just say thank you, being the last morning, to everyone here for your love, and your fellowship, and your prayers, and your being here seeking God.

And thank you very especially to the brethren here in Loveland who so graciously asked me to come and speak along with our Brother Denny and Brother Ken in this youth Bible school. And it has been a joy, and I'd like to thank everyone responsible in leadership in this church, in this congregation, for trusting me and for allowing me the privilege of coming to say with you.

I think I spoke the first Bible school here in Loveland along with Brother Denny and others, Brother Mose, and this is the second time I've come and I'm very grateful to God for this wonderful joy that you've given me.

I'm going to leave all the other thank yous for Sunday to try and not spend too much time that you'd all be despairing of life and still think you've still got to preach after this. So that was the thank yous.

I'm very grateful. It's been such a joy to have my wife with me and my son, and they have been in the night meetings, and I just devour every moment God gives me to prepare myself for messages. And I felt very strongly, even though I'd love to have heard Brother Denny, I felt strongly to be alone with God and to prepare in the nights while my wife and son came.

But they have been sharing with me when they return of the wonderful joy of hearing Brother Denny and of seeing you all seek God so wonderfully, and my heart has been rejoicing with everyone who loves Christ here that you're seeking God.

So bless you for letting my wife and son be here too and for showing them such love. So many of you, it seems, have just come up to Jenny and Samuel and said such very loving things to them. I see they're doing tapes here, and I am grateful to God for the tape ministry here in Loveland.

I am blessing God as I look and see the titles there. There's something very precious. At charity they send out tapes. Brother Mong and his wife and children very ably and with such dedication are sending these tapes out.

And one of the wonderful joys of my heart is to have been trusted by Brother Denny and the other leaders of your movement, the remnant across this nation who spread these tapes in their thousands with no restrictions, no copyright, just the longing for Christ gets done further and further, and people have come up to me one after the other and said every tape I've got of you I've done over a thousand.

There's one person spreading so there's no ending to where the ministry lives. It ended, but it did thrill my heart to know that one message I gave through this movement has been spread all over this land and in many other countries.

And I want to thank you all so very much. Even the messages I preached in this church were part of messages made up into albums of each tour each year, and this year there's quite a lot of messages that I've been preaching.

You've only heard a few, but if you'd like to remember to try and order, you don't have to pay. Your conscience tells you what to contribute. It's going to be very hard not to cover the costs. But the wonderful thing is it's not a profit-seeking organization, and I do love them for that.

And bless God that they've so had this on their hearts just to prove what they're about. You pray about it, and Brother Mong, Brother Denny, they somehow put together all the messages where I felt the most liberty.

Sometimes I preach these messages more than once, sometimes a few times across your land rotating to different congregations, but where I felt the most liberty and where all the babies weren't crying at once.

You want to preach when everybody else is screaming. But where we just felt the most liberty and those tapes we selected from that particular church and put up the tour, Brother Denny very lovingly guiding it.

The Word of God as the Center of the Ministry

One thing I'd like to ask you is the one thing Brother Denny put in his heart, had in his heart was to put an album out just of the sermons I've preached in your land, not necessarily among you people, but in other conferences and conventions that I've been invited to preach at where God really gave me a wonderful privilege to be part of those outreaches and conferences, just to take the messages that I've preached with the scriptures being quoted of the books of the Bible and of passages linking up scripture with scripture, comparing on the one train of thought from beginning to end of the Bible, on many, many of our doctrines and topics, on the practical artworking of Christianity, just the scriptures.

So he had in mind to put one in his Call to the Living Word series. I don't do this, you know, I just leave it all to the churches by God's grace over the last 30 years and thank God for the missions, the radio stations and the movements that have spread the tapes all over the world, most of the world.

In their millions, and I bless God, I'm scared, I'm so scared to think just how many, but I've heard other people estimating what's going on in their ministry alone with the messages and I'm deeply grateful to God and deeply humbled.

But I am grateful very much, perhaps more than anything else the churches have ever done, is what Brother Denny has done in one album, beautifully done, like these beautiful albums back there, so beautiful you couldn't get the most professional recording studios in the world doing better than that.

You've done well. Oh, you need to be commended. What you do for Christ has to be done perfectly, when you do things like that, and you certainly have done that. But Brother Denny's got this album now of 12 messages, the Sermon on the Mount, the Scriptures with a little sometimes 10 -15 minutes of expounding.

So those 12 messages are the 12 messages Brother Denny could get. I have many others, books in the Bible I'd love to give in your country one day. God has in many ways placed in my heart to preach other things.

The illustrations over the years that I seem to somehow feel many times are needed, but the bulk of my ministry has just been the Scriptures, and my greatest joy that you could honour in any way in my life is to get that one album, if you didn't get another message, because it's just God's Word, not my ideas, not illustrations, not my weak effort, but just God's Word, and He honours His Word above all things the Bible says.

So if you remember to phone Charity Tape Ministry, write, contact, send email, you know the brochures, you can easily get, just order that tape, please, if you do anything, just get that and spread it.

There's nothing more in my heart than to spread the Word, or to give the Word. You would honour this poor man in just spreading God's Word alone, the greatest love of anything I've ever done in the ministry for God.

They will send it to you, a beautiful album, and you can send a donation to cover the cost of the postage, and the tapes, and the album, and perhaps the electricity to make the tapes. Alright, that is to get your conscience going, in case you do do this, because 200 tapes will be a lot of money, if you don't send something, but if you can't, they will carry the cost for you, if you can't.

I should have put this on, can you believe it? I didn't. So, let's put it this way, I've got three quarters of an hour. Okay. Father in mercy, keep us under the blood of Jesus Christ, wash me in the blood afresh.

My only hope of God even looking at me, let alone using me at this moment. Of anything that grieved thee, that in my baseness I was not conscious of. That I overlooked in my folly, even if it was one word, or something left undone that I should have done.

Forgive me, wash me through and through with the blood of Jesus Christ, and fill me now with the Holy Spirit of God. And anoint my whole being, keep us so under the blood, safe from the devil, and rebuke thou him away, please God, from anyone who would in any way disturb God reaching the heart.

From anything, hold us under the blood, and rebuke Satan and his demons away, God. Totally. From anything. Moved by the Spirit in such a way that every one of us will know we have to do with God here.

The Holiness and Influence of Will McFarlane

In Jesus Christ's name, for his sake, we all unitedly agree in us, of our Father in Heaven. Amen. The most godly man that I ever had the privilege of knowing in my life was Mr. Will McFarlane. I heard a man in Canada, where I preached and mentioned something of Mr. McFarlane in the message.

With tears in his eyes he said, I don't believe any man that ever stood in the presence of that man just once in their life. I don't believe their conscience would allow them to remain the same from that moment.

I've never met anyone, and I've met thousands, who walked up to me in different countries I've preached, places I've gone, who came to God through him. I've never met anyone who when they heard that I knew Will McFarlane from my ministry didn't walk up to me and talk and say basically these words, I never ever knew a more holy man in my life.

I never ever, ever saw a man more Christ-like in my life. His life staggered this world as few others ever have in the history of the Church of Jesus Christ. And I'm only touching the tip of the iceberg of what God will reveal one day in Heaven.

I remember standing the first occasion I met this man, and he turned to me and began to speak. And I wept. I began to tremble. I trembled so that he looked at me, and I began to weep. I'd never ever seen a face shine.

I'd never understood what God talked of a man coming from his presence like Moses where his face so shone. He had to cover his face, and I suppose there was something unique there, but it was as unique as Will McFarlane, the shine on that man's face.

It wasn't some superficial light or glow that superstitious people love to attribute to a man when they look at him. It was something from within of his integrity and transparency and godliness and holiness of life that literally shone through his whole being.

The way he spoke, the way he looked at you, every word. There was just something that I looked and I realized I've never ever met a man, no man in my life have I ever seen like this. I couldn't speak back.

Trembling, I suddenly turned at the tears. I walked out to weep. No man ever, ever had that influence on me in my life before or since in this world. Will McFarlane was saved at the age of 18. He and his brother Sandy, who I got to know in his old age too, they were upright, clean, noble young men.

They loved sport. Their whole lives were devoured in sport, especially football in South Africa, which has become the god of South Africa. But those days, sport still had some form of cleanness in it and wasn't a threat to your life.

It was a competitiveness and godlessness that goes on for achievement today in sport. Those days it was still sport for clean boys and girls to play. They had a love for one thing in life, sport, but they were clean.

They never swore, they never smoked, they never drank. And at the age of 18 they walked into a meeting of the mission that I serve God in called the Africa Evangelistic Band in Johannesburg, one of the early meetings.

And they came under the most amazing conviction over that week of meetings that they had lost the state and that their souls were going to hell. And they sought God. They both sought God with the whole heart so desperately, with such clean living, they desperately sought God to save them from the hell they became aware they were going to through their sin.

That's what the Holy Ghost can do to boys, girls, young men, young women who never swore, never smoked, never touched drink, desperate to be saved from the hell they knew they were going to and deserved to go to.

And the Holy Spirit bore witness with their hearts that night to such a degree that Mr. McFarlane's heart began to rejoice in a way it never had at the consciousness of God, witnessing with his spirit that he was his child.

He was born of God. He was saved from hell. He had a thirst from that next morning, like Charles Fenny, to tell the world. Every step he took he wanted to just tell the world. He didn't want his soul to get past.

Somehow everybody was lost. And he had the message. He knew the way. And he felt responsible. It was about a week after he was saved. He was on the bus, a tram those days. They didn't have buses. And he was going from his home to Johannesburg, one of the greatest cities in the world.

He was going on this tram to the workplace. And he was sitting in the front row of this tram downstairs in Double Decker. And the whole tram was full and he turned around. And he looked at all the faces.

And he thought, look how unhappy they are. And something in his innermost conscience said these words, They're all going to hell. Every one of them. To eternal damnation. You're not. You've been saved.

You know the way. You should warn them. They're your responsibility. Their blood will be on your hands if you don't warn them now in your moment that you can take. And you know he started to sweat, he said.

And he thought, what is happening? But for conscience sake he jumped up. And he turned around and looked at all these people. Nobody speaking. Everybody looking miserable going to work. And he says, you're all going to hell.

That's not the right thing to do by the way. When you're saved in case you think you want to do that. So they all looked at him in shock and horror. You didn't do that sort of thing. So he carried on and started to cry out what he knew in his one week since been born again to say.

And he was sweating he said in fear. He must have looked scared but after about three minutes he said they stopped the tram. And the conductor took him and took him like a dog. He said through him. They're pushing and pushing and then through him.

Then he flew through the air. And he sprawled on his face and his body so that he hurt himself. Right into the pavement. And all the stones all over him. And he tried to get up and the bus just drove away.

This tram. Nobody even looked back. They were so disgusted at him. And he said he was so hurting. He was hurting more inside than outside. But the humiliation of being thrown like a dog off the tram. And as he stood there trying to just compose himself.

Everybody looked at him standing. What had happened? And he said suddenly another voice seemed to reach his conscience. And God said to him. It was not me that told you to do that child. I didn't tell you to do that child.

Led by the Holy Spirit Rather Than Misguided Zeal

Umlak Farland said it was the first lesson God ever gave him in the school of God. He learned that day. That unless the Holy Spirit guides you and strongly guides you. And you're sure it's the Holy Spirit not the devil.

Taking a tender conscience. Through your ignorance. Unless you are sure it's God the Holy Spirit to speak to people. About God. Don't speak. Do more damage than any good. You close hearts to God. And then he said these words.

Most occasions are not the right occasion. You wait for your time when it's common sense tells you. Now. And the Holy Spirit says. Now speak. Otherwise you just do damage. You have no license to offend when you get saved.

You have no license to embarrass. You become a gentleman. If you're close to God. Even to the worst sinner. Be careful. It was a short while after that. That God put his hand on this man's life in such a way that he became conscious.

He became deeply conscious. Because God was whispering in his heart through every turn he made in the end. To forsake every dream he'd ever made. Every ambition he'd ever planned. To turn his back on it forever and burn the bridges behind.

Deny everything he'd ever thought of in life. In one moment never to look back. And to become a preacher. For God. A missionary. He was so thirsting for souls that he grabbed at what God was saying. With his whole heart.

He forsook everything. He went to Edinburgh in Scotland and did his theological training. Which is needed in any mission in Southern Africa. And he returned and joined the ranks of the AAB. Which I serve God in.

And where he was saved through that mission. A small group of people. And he joined with a man called Leonard Messenger. A young man who was shaking Africa. And he was barely in his twenties. Where he hadn't preached people were talking loudly about this.

He was like another Whitfield it seems. God took hold of this man. A young man. So anointed by God. And he preached alongside the two of them. Going around South Africa. And Southern Africa. And wherever they went.

The communities were shaken. The powers of hell were shaken. And people streamed in their masses. To see God. Something wonderful was beginning. Wherever they went together preaching. He says we preached the law.

Those days he told me we didn't preach for a week of meetings. We preached for three weeks. And when God broke out we stayed on for six weeks. He said we preached the law for the first two weeks. No grace.

Until they knew they were sinners. He says when they were rising. Under the conviction of what God can only do through the law. Then we preached grace. And they streamed to God. And you know. It is unheard of any man.

Or woman. Or child. That ever came to God. Through Wilmax Fowler's ministry. That ever back slid. No one. In any place he went. Can show you anyone. Who found God. Now that's a testimony. It was God. It was God.

He met and married. A godly Jean MacFarlane. One of the most beautiful persons I ever knew in my life. Oh she was beautiful. The beauty of Christ. The refinement of Christ in her life. Had I would say close to the impact of Wilmac Fowler's life.

And preaching. Though she never preached. She was a missionary who stood there with her husband. And just prayed him through. While he led the souls to God. She led woman to God. Yes. But she stayed in his shadow.

Just being there for him. All the way through. Till her death. In the most humble way. She became a servant to that man. As if she was serving Christ. She was a wonderful testimony. But oh she was a blessing to everyone's heart.

She was an amazing person. MacFarlane. Mr. MacFarlane first came into our lives. When I was about 19 years old. Just turned 19. My life was destroyed. My family was destroyed. To such a degree that I don't want to go into it.

But God sent him in the moment. Just before we were irreparably destroyed. There was no hope though. For us as a family. My brother had met a young girl. And fallen so in love. That he would have died for her.

For her love. He was totally unsaved. But her parents were so godly. That he got the shock of his life. He had never met a godly person in his life. And they panicked when they saw the smoking, drinking, full of himself fellow.

His own business. Thriving South African champion in his sport. Sports club that he started all over the country. Just on to 21 years old. They panicked. And he said to them. Listen. I'm not religious and I never will be.

I don't want you to ever speak to me about religion again. Please. I'm just asking you now. I will never come to you again. He panicked. They panicked. He had their daughter. Who professed to be saved.

But they found that she wasn't. She turned her back on any convictions. She had fallen in line to. Through love of her boy. She was into the world. They didn't put him against the wall and preach hell.

They got on their knees and they got every godly person. They knew to pray through to God for him. When Macfarlane came back to South Africa. This time he'd been to countries all over the world. Preaching.

He was in his 60's now. And they took him to the pulpit. Of the home town where my brother's girlfriend was. And in that pulpit where 30's. Something years ago in this 1930's. The only revival in Boxburg history.

That town's history. Took place when that man preached. When Leonard Messinger the young man. Who shook the world. Died at the age of 23. Killed in a plane accident. God took hold of Will Macfarlane and shook him.

Something happened to his whole being. As he realized he didn't know if he had another day left. To serve God. And he grabbed. He redeemed the time. Like someone desperate not to lose any occasion. And that was the turning point of his ministry.

To a profound way. The death of Leonard Messinger. Became the making of Will Macfarlane. 30 years later. Excuse me. He returns and they get him into the same pulpit. Of his old church. And people broke down the barriers.

Of denomination for such a man. All the protestant movements. Just came. Who were saved. And tried to drag the lot. And my brother was invited. By his future parents of the Lord. They said listen. We know.

You said never ever speak to me about religion again. But this man is different. God used him before. You cannot believe what God is doing again. And after all these years. He's back in the same pulpit.

This tower seeking God. Come we beg you. We'll never ask. He thought to himself. Well I don't want to. Let them think I'm so wicked. So he said yes alright. Just to try and make them. Think he's not the most wicked person on earth.

He went. God shook him. God shook him. At the end of that message. Tears pouring down his face. Shaking like a leaf. In shock. God never spoke to him in his life before. Here this man had preached heaven, hell, the cross.

And there's no other way to avoid this hell. To reach this heaven. But nothing in my hands I bring. Simply to the cross I cling. Come if God has called you. Or you're going to hell. Come get the gift of God.

Which is eternal life through Jesus. Come with nothing but the blood of Jesus. He wouldn't know why he's turned away anyone. My brother staggered out like a drunk person falling. And he prayed with his godly man.

He was the only one that prayed that night. For some reason the other nights the people screamed. But my brother was the only one. And Macfarlane now beside him. Crying out. Weeping to God. Save this boy's soul.

God save my brother's soul. As a result. I was so staggered at the change in his life. As he walked back into our home. That I was thirsting for God. I became desperate. I was saved. Just to save my brother's life.

I became desperate for God. He was so a new creature in Christ. Old things passed away. Old things become new. I began to thirst after God. Not through a message. But through a life. And then my father.

And later my mother. But it all started in that meeting. Then Mr. Macfarlane left. Three months later. He came back from Canada. Flew over back to Johannesburg. On route to what is now Zimbabwe. Rediso.

One of the African countries. Inland. From South Africa. And he stopped at Johannesburg. My brother heard that the man. The man who led him to Christ. Was in South Africa. In Johannesburg. He said I've got to see him.

He made phone calls. And they said well he's leaving tomorrow. He's just stopped over. He's going to Zimbabwe. To Rediso those days. My brother said well I can't see him tonight. I'm going to the dance.

And this lady. This lady. Oh she's godly. I don't want to preach about her now. She said you're going to the dance. Oh. Well tonight's the only time my brother. That I can't get out of the dance. Every year we do it.

It's an annual thing. With all the fellas he grew up with. She said well he's leaving tonight. If you want to see him. You have to come on the way to the dance. All right. So Dudley and Anne. His girlfriend.

Not married then. They go to Mr. McFarlane. And came to this home. Of the amazing life. Ellen White. Oh my. Oh there he's sitting with a man. That led him to God. I can't stay. We can only stay a short while.

I've got to go to the dance. I can't get out of it. Mr. McFarlane said. Oh. Well. He asked him about the quiet time. You want to find out if somebody's really been mourned again. The Bible gripped you since you prayed.

Can you go into day without the quiet time? How real is your quiet time? Is it alive the book? Oh he answered all the questions. Now we have to go. Okay. Let's just have a prayer. So please just pray for us Mr. Mac.

And off they went. At the end of the dance. Very slow. The car seemed to go slower and slower. They couldn't understand. Conscience is a terrible thing. It affects even the petrol. So they stopped. Not a word.

They looked at each other. And they sat looking. Not a word. They got up. Into the dance. There was the friends. The big table. The drink. The smoking. The music. Oh. The dancing. Now here they are. The first time in the dance since they saved.

And of course. Dirty joke. Dirty swearing language. And the first thing of course was the drink. Dudley said sorry we don't drink anymore. And this fellow with blood red hair. I'd like to tell you about him one day.

Oh. What he did in the end. He was just desperate. But anyway. He wanted a poor drink. Dudley said. We don't drink. He said you don't drink. You're mad. Come on man. Dudley said we don't drink anymore.

Oh. Everybody's eyes now. Dudley doesn't do that. Well. So they sit down. So the dirty joke starts. You can't tell a clean joke amongst unsaved. They won't laugh. Most of them. It has to be filthy. Anyway.

Dudley said hang on. I don't want to hear it end. I don't want to even know where it's ending. And why do you have to bless him. Why do you have to say Jesus Christ with all those filthy words. As if it's a dirty word.

Since when is jokes wrong. Since when is blessing. What are you. What's wrong with you. Are you mad man. He got up. He took Anne. He says. Anne come. Let me get you away from him. He's gone mad. Come and dance with me.

And he. Pulled Anne up. And Anne. Dudley got up. And pulled her back. And said. Let her alone. I know you. Don't you touch her again. You won't dance with her. This fellow screamed. So loud. It affected.

Most people that night. He screamed. With a bit of bad language. Have you gone mad. You can't drink. You can't sway. You can't tell jokes. You can't dance. Have you gone mad. What's wrong with you. What's happened to you man.

And my brother said. I've become a Christian. It's because I'm saved. It's because I'm born again. And so is Anne. We can't do these things. And this godless man looked at Dudley. And tears welled up in his eyes.

And after about a minute looking at him. He says. Dudley. Dudley. If you've given your life to God. Like you say you have. What are you doing here. What are you doing here. I don't know. But I'm not staying.

So he grabbed Anne and they ran. They got in the car. Oh the car went fast now. All the way back. To Mr. Max Farland. Knocked at the door. Oh come in Dudley. We've been expecting you. Didn't know it would be this fast.

That fast. We knew you'd flee. Mr. Max. Why didn't you just tell us. We wouldn't have gone. Nobody ever told me my life a Christian. That it was wrong to go to the dance. You couldn't survive as a Christian.

Oh he said. Dudley. I didn't want to tell you. Because I didn't want you to stop anything. Because of me. And you would have. Perhaps only when I'm around. To keep it from me. I wanted God to tell you.

Because he's always with you. And you'll never go back now. And I knew God would tell you. Because I knew you were saved. I was convinced before you left here you were truly saved. That was wisdom wasn't it.

Bless God for him. Bless God for such a man. As well Max Farland. He was a better preacher than I had. He used to have the right notes. In front of him. When his mind went blank. Anyway. We've come now right over.

Oh that's good. We've passed patience. Anyway. I remember standing with him one night. And God had taken hold of my life. In such a way that I knew God wanted me. To preach. To lay down every. Every dream I ever had.

The Call to Preach and the Necessity of Certainty

And of course it's shared with other godly people. Who had told him. And he said. Keith it seems to me. From what I can hear. That you're going to be a preacher. That you're going to burn every bridge behind you.

Every ambition. Every dream. Like I had to. Like any preacher has to. And give your life. Just to pour out the gospel of Christ. To the world. God has called you. God has laid his hand on you. And separated you from the gospel.

And I looked at him. But by that time. The devil had done everything. Watching me wanting to. Obey God. The most staggering things. Through the most unexpected sources. Began to stagger me. The devil didn't stand back and said fine.

He tried to stop me. To religious people. I hesitated. Though I knew I was going to have to go. And Mr. McFarlane looked at me hesitating. He put his hand here. And he said. My boy. If you have any doubt.

Don't go. You'll be devoured. You'll make shipwreck. If you have the slightest doubt. That God is calling you. Don't go. You'll never survive. You'll only survive. If you can fall back. And wait God put his hand on you.

And you point back to God. And say. Out and send me. I didn't choose to do this. And you'll survive. And in the call of God. If you have any doubt. Don't. His wife. Oh bless her. Gently. Small little thing.

Next to the big man. She just pushed in front of him. Wives do that to their husbands sometimes. And she. With his arms through. Just stood in front of him. Right up to my face. With her gentle eyes. And she said.

My boy. You know when my husband is right. If you have any doubt. Don't. If you have any doubt. That God. But if you know God has called you Keith. And you don't go. You will become of all men. Most miserable.

No matter what you do in life. Oh that shook me. That was one of the reasons. I. No matter what the devil was doing. Went. Forsook everything. And I thank God. I didn't stoop. If God calls you. To give your life.

To anywhere in the world. One man said. Don't stoop to be a king. You have to stoop. To become a king. And deny God. Honoring you with being. Someone he will use. For the rest of your life. Separated for the gospel.

Don't stoop for anything. Oh they were a blessing to my heart. They were a blessing to my heart. One night. A man. Where Mr. McFarlane had preached at a prayer meeting. Probably the longest standing prayer meeting in Africa.

People are debating it. But it started when McFarlane was a young. Mr. McFarlane was a young preacher. When God broke out. And this. Prayer meeting goes on. And on. Through the days. Through the years.

You cannot believe. One night at that prayer meeting. And people in their 90's have never missed it. Just go. Praying through for Africa. And the world. Many of them his converts. One night after he had preached there.

They had tea. They always have tea. And wherever the British colonies are. You always end everything at tea. Over fellowship. So we are having tea. And one man. After Mr. McFarlane preached. In the building.

Stood with a cigarette. Took out the cigarette. Oh my. He just looked. To stand after such a sermon in the building. And start smoking. And Mr. McFarlane was standing there. With. Getting his tea. And he looked at this man.

He says. Mr. McFarlane. Thank you for the message. You gave us tonight. He says. I want to ask you a question about cigarettes. He says. People tell me a Christian shouldn't smoke. It's wrong for me to smoke.

That it's sin. I don't see anything moral in this. I can understand morals. My health was good. I smoke a lot. Twenty. Thirty a day. There's nothing wrong with it. He says. Do you think it's sin. Do you think it's wrong for me.

As a Christian to smoke. He stood there. I overheard. And I stood looking. I was getting my tea. Also at that moment. Most in the building didn't over hear. What was going on. Mr. McFarlane looked at him.

He put his cup down. And he looked at him. And he shook that building. Because Mr. McFarlane doesn't scream ever in life. He shouted. You know it's sin. Ask me. When you know. It's wrong. He walked away.
