God Wants You — G.W. North

Let's turn to the words for tonight, beloved, shall we? And I want to come with you into the gospel according to Luke, which you know is a gospel full of lovely stories. We call them parables. He loved storytelling, did Luke, and the Lord was an absolute expert at it, of course, and he told his wonderful stories, and you and I are left to discover exactly what he means.

That's a tremendous thing. You know, when, say, Ezekiel, you will have read the book of Ezekiel, and he had lots of things to say. When he wrote his book, he told them plain truth, and they said, oh, he told you a parable.

But Jesus told parables, and there you are. People never come to the truth in it, often, or sometimes we're so limited in our reading and in our going, of course, everybody's in the mold of having a portion for a day, something like that.

So, it begins to get a bit unbearable if it's got beyond about ten or twelve verses. So, tonight, I want to take you into Luke's gospel, and take at least two chapters as our subject matter. Oh, that's encouraging.

Thank you very much. Here, then, I'm in this great section, and I want to turn you to the 14th and the 15th chapters of Luke's gospel. Of course, you'll know all about the 15th chapter, and the wonderful three-part parable, if you like.

Jesus’ Lament Over Jerusalem and the Disappointment of the Father

One parable, really, in three different parts, dealing with three different things. You'll know that, especially the last part, the prodigal son. But, even to make it worse, I want to go into the last part of chapter 13.

So, you will see, we're going to cover a lot of ground, and if you have to be in bed by nine, I shall not be finished. So, and I don't promise to continue it in the morning. I've been banned from the meeting tomorrow.

He's the leader now, and he's part nursemaid. So, in the end of this wonderful 13th chapter, you will find one of Jesus' laments. 34. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not.

That in itself, of course, is a parable, isn't it? Just that. Speak volumes. Behold, he says, your house is left unto you, desolate, and very late I say unto you, you shall not see me until the time comes when ye shall say, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

One of the great lamentations of Jesus Christ, showing how disappointed he was. I wonder if you're one of these people that are a disappointment to the Lord. I wonder if you are. Disappointment. Now, skimming quickly over the other chapters, in fact the other verses, ignoring them for the time being, I want you to turn to the end of the 15th chapter, which you will know, contains the parable of the prodigal son.

And now listen to the father. We've heard the lamentation of the son, let's hear the heart of the father, shall we? Here it is. He said, verse 31, son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thy disappointment again.

Disappointment. His son disappointed him, both of them. You may stick up for the young one, you may stick up for the older brother, but both of them were a disappointment to their father. And in between, beloved, we have the matter that I really want to stay on, and you can tell that we're going to be a long time tonight.

And I'm going to take full advantage of the fact that I must stop home tomorrow. And so, beloved, let's really get into it as God wants us to get into it. You know, don't you, that these precious things that are said by the Lord Jesus, he uses language which you use too.

When the Lord takes up these things, they become wonderful. They have a heavenly meaning. A light shines through them that doesn't shine through them if they be the mere words of man. And we find him, after this great lamentation, in 13th chapter, in verse 1 of chapter 14, he goes into the house of one of the chief Pharisees, and that's it.

Now, whether he was invited in or not, we're not told. I don't think he gatecrashed much, and he went into this house. And I expect, having read the chapter, which you will have done, I trust, avidly, during your life, you will know what happened.

He's in this house for some kind of meal, and he tackles them on this. Verse 15, verse 5, which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day?

And they couldn't answer him to these things. And this is the whole thing. There's been a lot of talk, and there's been a lot of things going on in that feast that the Lord Jesus noticed. And you know, he does notice a lot.

He's not looking for faults. You don't have to look for faults. The things that are wrong glare at you. And they're outstanding. He noticed that people were going around choosing the chief rooms, and the chief seats, and everybody trying to make a big show.

Everybody who's nothing is always trying to be something. Everybody who wants to be recognized. And you know, lots of people who say they don't go and hide themselves up in the corner are only trying to be recognized then, because you're the only one in the corner.

And that's the whole thing. It's an attention-drawing thing. But this is the way it goes. You needn't ask, beloved, to get noticed by God. You needn't get petulant. You needn't go, I'm nobody and nobody loves me, or I'm somebody and everybody wants to know I'm somebody.

These two extremes. But God sees through you, you know, sees through me. And you know, he loves us. And one of the greatest things that's always in my, well not part of my is, I wonder why he loves me.

If you think that you should have been loved, well you should really, but you know what I mean. If you think it for any virtue in you, beloved, you're one of how many hundreds of billions of people on the earth?

I don't really know. And the wonder of it is, beloved, that he does love you, and he wants to talk to your heart tonight. Will you let him do that? Will you let the Lord Jesus Christ be the real person he is to you?

Not some figment of your imagination. What you think he is, what you think he ought to do, or something like that. You know, idolatry is only built on that. Whether you make an idol of stone, wood, some sort of thing, or in your imagination, it's all built on this, that you think God ought to be what you think, and what you make him in your mind.

And perhaps one of the greatest discoveries the soul ever makes, is that he's totally different from what we think. And it's all so wonderful. And they invited the Lord into this meeting, and he says something like this.

We won't read it all, so I said we're going to cover three chapters. We're not going to read everything about it. What I want you to see is this. Verse 12. He's leading up to something. Remember that.

You must always remember, beloved, that when the Lord Jesus starts something in your life, he's leading up to something else. Always. This idea of being a Christian of static is as far from the mind of God as East is from the West.

He's always, and when you all take it in your heart, that he's always concerned with something yet in the future. He embraces the present, he deals with the past. But always, it's onward, friend. Always.

Always. He's not like Elijah. He's far greater than Elijah, who said to Elijah, carry here. I'm going somewhere, and I'm glad old Elijah is not on your life. Well, he didn't say it like that. And off he went after that great man of God, Elijah.

And see what he got as a result. Onward, ever onward. But listen to what Jesus says. He says, in verse 12, he speaking to the Pharisees, invited him, he said, when thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends.

Guess you could do with that kind of a word from the Lord. It's a convenient what we pass over, just to suit our own. Oh, he didn't mean that, Fritz. Well, all right, you'll have to tell him he didn't mean it.

That's all. If he's a liar, or can't be trusted, I can't see how you can claim to be a follower of his. He said, now don't call your friends. Don't call your brethren. Don't call your kinsmen. When he speaks about brethren, of course, he's talking about what you might call brothers in the Lord, you know.

And then he's talking about your kinsmen. Don't call them your aunt, your uncle, your cousin, your granddad. Some of us are granddads. We, you see, don't call any of them. He says, oh, whatever you do, don't call the rich people.

Don't call anyone like that. He said, well, that's the circle we move in. Well, you'd better move out of it. It's pretty dangerous, you see. He said, don't call those, and I hope, beloved, you're beginning to see the standards of Jesus Christ.

Lest you be tempted to want to be a disciple. He said, you see, the answer to that is this. They might you, they might call you to them, their party, and it becomes a tit for tat. You come and have coffee with me tonight, we'll, you know, I'll come to your house and we'll have coffee together, and I'll say, this is fellowship, or something like that.

But that's the way it goes, and that's the way the church is turned up, upside down, all the teachings of Jesus Christ. It's part of the reason why we're so powerless. Oh dear, you sound, you seem as though you're carved in stone.

I hope I haven't upset you. But it's an amazing thing how Jesus puts his finger on the spot. This is what he said, but that's leading up to something else, and he means it. Now make us the feast, he said, call poor, the lame, the lame, the blind, and thou shalt be blessed, for they cannot recompense thee, for thou shalt be recompensed.

At the resurrection of the just. That's marvellous, isn't it? Praise the name of the Lord. But we're laid wide open by the Lord Jesus Christ, and that's what he wants to do, beloved, he wants to lay our hearts wide open tonight.

We're only just starting, but he has to do that. What do you think those people sitting at that party felt like? Because they were doing it. You doing it, you call them Tupperware parties, or coffee bits, or something like this, and it's always your friends that come, and all these kinds of things, isn't it?

Beloved, I've got an idea of the church, it's nothing like Jesus wants it to be. That's what I think. Become a clique. There's no chance for the outsider, the blind, the poor, the lame, the haute. The blind would have to be guided in.

They wouldn't know the way. Do you think they'll be most surprised if you asked them, so they wouldn't know how to get to the house? Think about it. What the Lord says. Be surprised how many say, I get asked out to tea here, and asked out to something else.

I hope you get the state where nobody asks me anymore. Here is the tremendous thing to understand. God wants you to live, to spread the gospel. There's nothing else worth spreading. Nothing. Your interpretation of it comes in your life.

You may not ever stand on a platform like this to expand scriptures, or whatever it may be called. But every one of us is an exposition of something, and of someone. And the Lord wants us to see this right deep down.

But as I say, he's only really just preparing for what he has to say. And then somebody that was sitting at the meeting, verse 15, to turn him off. They didn't like it. Say something pious and good, as though you can turn the thorn away.

You can't, beloved. He's going to stick it right in. We're starting to carry out with this pious stuff. Oh, blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God. I hope he keeps off this other line.

We'll get him on something else that you can't. Beloved, don't try and turn the point of the sword when it's going to slay something that's anti-Christ in your heart. Don't ever try that. Hmm, but let's go on.

The Great Supper and the Urgency of God’s Invitation

And then he really launches into it. Now you'll see why he didn't produce it. Let's read this parable. He said, a certain man, verse 16, made a great supper and paid many, and sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidding, come, for all things are now ready.

Now listen, before we go any further, let us get this settled. When the Lord speaks to you, it's because things are ready, and you've got to come then. Don't think you can choose year's time, and don't think you can put it off and say, when I'm 45, or when I'm 81, or something.

Things are ready when he calls you, and the moment of readiness will pass for you, from you forever. Possibly, according to this story. It's a very tremendous thing. A man and woman is not allowed to play around with God.

Oh, they can appear to, they can satisfy themselves that they're doing it, but what does it matter whether you and I are satisfied or not? It matters whether God is. He wants compensation for sending his son into the world.

Not money, of course, not lip service, not quoting nice things to palliate him if you think he needs it. But you and I have to pass on to these great understandings of this blessed Lord Jesus Christ who came on the earth.

Let's go on with the story. And when they said that, they all, with one consent, began to make excuses. If I'd have been putting a word in there, which is not in the Greek, I would have put one heart.

Not just one consent. With one heart, and that is an old, cold, and wicked heart. It may be a new. Ordinary men and women have it. Here's the thing, then. Let's read it on. The first says, I've bought a piece of ground.

I must need go and see it. Oh, I pray thee, have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen. I go and approve them. I pray thee, have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife.

Therefore, I shall come. Whatever kind of woman did he marry? So, that servant came and showed his Lord these things. But you know, there are many men that won't do what God wants them to do, because they're frightened of their wife's tongue.

And there are many women the same, too. When Jesus speaks to you, you've got to get away, probably, from your nearest and your dearest. He'd warn them, don't call your friends, don't call your kinsmen, don't do those kinds of things.

That's what he said. Not that they don't need salvation, but there aren't many people who get saved by going to a tea party. The Lord Jesus Christ wants us to see this tremendous thing. And that servant came and showed his Lord these things.

Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, go out quickly into the streets, lanes of the city, bring in here to the poor, the lame, the haute, and the blind. Well, that's what he'd been saying.

It was all preparation for this thing that he was going to bring out to them. Not just now in a context of a party where he'd gone, but in the context of the great universal salvation. In that context.

When I say universal, I mean it for all men, everywhere. And that's the great thing that he has on his heart. Oh, beloved, the withering away of time, the loss of opportunity, the wasted years, and the Christless pray.

Now, God wants us to move in, beloved, on these great things. And you know what happened? The servant said, Lord, it's done as thou has commanded, and yet there is room. Thank God there are those who anticipate and know their Lord.

And the Lord said unto the servant, go out into the highways, hedges, compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. Beloved, you've heard that marvelous thing that Jesus said. Perhaps you've read it for yourself.

In my father's house, he says, are many abiding places. I'm not calling you there for a tea party. I'm not calling you there for just a passing meal that in 24 hours will find you as empty as the moment before you step down to Egypt.

Not that. And this is what he's talking about, beloved. This is what's in his heart. He doesn't say it all at once. He can't say it all at once. Thank God there are four men who wrote Gospels, so that they can bring us this, and bring us that, and bring the other, and bring something else.

And in between it all, or by reason of it all, we can find something of the wonder of the truth. They're too great for one man to speak or write. For everybody gets their own slant on it, if that be the word.

Even if he'd be inspired of God, he can only ever be the person he is, the writer or the speaker. And this is why it's good in a conference like this to have at least four preachers. God wants us to see these great things, beloved.

And you know this, it isn't often that we read that God is angry. You can't go on day by day, year by year. You cannot keep going on and turning your back on God, and snubbing him when he's at your very door, wanting you for your own sake, for your own safety, for your own eternal life.

You can't expect him to be anything else but angry. In his anger, he shows mercy though. And when love gets angry, that is anger. It's pure anger. To a loss of temper, you must understand that the love of God is strong and true.

He loves you. He loves you. You're invited. It's all so wonderful. In verse 24, he said, I tell you, none of those men which were bidden should taste of my suffer. Long-standing invitations, beloved, can end in your case with complete delusionment, whereas the snap invitations and the thing that you meet from the lips of God through some man or woman can be the moment of your salvation.

And that's so very, very wonderful. It's the pre-planned attitude. It's the set of the life. How many of you know this invitation? You've heard it in church. You've heard it since your childhood. I did.

I thank God for that. You've heard it, and heard it, and heard it, and heard it. Well, what have you done about it? There's a sort of an idea, Jesus did it, or you've got to do nothing. That's nonsense.

Absolute nonsense. You can't save yourself. You've got to react. You've got to give all, and you've got to buy up the time about it too. And God wants us to see this. Now listen to Jesus. He says this, there went great multitudes with him, and he turned and said unto them, if any man come to me, now listen, he's not inviting you to a supper.

He's not here in these parables of what he's doing. He's not just inviting you all come and have, heaven's going to be a marvellous tea party. If you prefer coffee made from a bag, or if you like it to come through a percolator, won't you sit in?

What would you like? What would you like? Cokes you like? Hallelujah. Everybody that's there is going to have one taste. He said, wouldn't that be monotonous? Yeah, well, all right then, it's monotonous.

Blessed monotony. Hallelujah. Wonderful food, glorious. Hallelujah. One name, one glorious heaven, one eternal spread, one glorious life. And we've all got to share it, and love it. And you're given an opportunity to love it while you're on this earth.

That's why the Holy Ghost has come. And so we move on. Listen to him. He says, if any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, and his own life, also, I would say first of all, he cannot be my disciple.

And whosoever does not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. There it is. Discipleship is made so cheap these days. Jesus never made it cheap. The invitation of the Lord Jesus Christ is eternal.

But you will find there's such a change in what we call bliss as human beings, and what Jesus Christ came to reveal as eternal bliss. There's such a difference in it, beloved, that a cross becomes sweet, suffering for Christ's sake becomes wonderful.

That's what it's all about. The salvation of Jesus Christ is a topsy-turvy thing, so far as the world is concerned. Nobody brought it on in the first ages, although I came to the meetings in 1901, not my own.

You have to see, beloved, what it's all about. He's called you to bravery. He's called you to reality. He's called you never to have a bottle always in your mouth, and I mean the milk bottle, I wouldn't mean the others.

The whole glorious thing, beloved, is that you understand what Jesus Christ is after. Man, woman, you need him to get right hold of you. And you have to commit yourself 100 percent. Because that's what the Lord Jesus said.

Well, pity me, I had this, I had that, I had the other. Then you've never been to the cross yet, because that all goes. Part of the cross is to cross that right out of your mind, right out of your life, right out of all the excuses you've tried to make.

You, my beloved, are here to be what the Lord Jesus Christ alone can make you. Ah, let me tell you this, only the brave get there, only the brave. Oh, yeah, I know. You can be brave even though you may be weak.

You say, what? Yes, that's right. How can a weak person be brave? Oh, look at me. Don't you understand? He only saves weak people. He doesn't save the strong. They're too strong for him. There's got to be a new strength.

Don't you understand? It's all given to you, provided, free. If you've got a brave spirit, that is, he's trying to bring us all back and down to sense. The common sense that God imparts through the blessed Savior.

Hallelujah. Ah, there's a time when he goes into a home and bends over a still form, breathes on it, and it comes to life, and you say, he handled me tenderly, he handled me so wonderfully. Do you know he can't do anything else but that?

He can't. So the Lord moves us on. This pleading, oh, he understands me, he understands me. Yes, he does, but he provided the salvation for you, because he understands you. He is not the minister of weakness.

He ministers to weakness, and he makes it strong. Now listen, you mustn't try to find an excuse, because if you can't find the right one, the devil will supply you with it, if that's right. And that's what he'll do.

Those people in that meeting, the tea meeting, whatever it was, they just had to sit there dumbfounded, I guess. Just had to. This, beloved, is, is the hurt, the disappointment, the lamenting Jesus that speaks.

We read about it in the end of the other chapter. Oh, Jerusalem. Listen, how often I would, here's an invitation, will you come? Here's an invitation. I'm going to test you here and now. While I speak, this is Jesus.

Will you? Oh, I've had so many disappointments in my life. Think of God. He started with disappointment, beloved. He started from disappointment. The revolt of angels in heaven made a man put him in the garden with a wife.

They must have been a wonderful pair, but he was disappointed. They had twin children, they say Cain and Abel were twins, I don't know, and Cain was just the first one out of the womb. I don't know, it's been suggested.

Disappointment. Murderer. See, beloved, have you ever thought about the Lord weeping over you? Have you? Say, I, Lord, break your heart. You'll say it's been broken many a million times. Over this, or that, or the eye.

Wonderful Jesus. But see him now, says, if you want to be a disciple of mine, I want you to know I'm just not inviting you to a feast. I'm inviting you. That's what I'm inviting you to do. Hallelujah.

Counting the Cost of Discipleship

Well, let me ask you a question. I'm not now asking you whether you believe in the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ, or whether you've taken it up. Or have you just taken up a chair in a seat, a seat in a church?

What have you taken up? A lovely tune like Brothers Britain, to sing to lovely words. What have you taken up? You get rid of a load of sin, and you take up another load. A cross, not made from the leaf of a palm tree.

My burden is light. Hallelujah. How wonderful it is. And you see what he has in mind. This, he says this. Look, I want you people to put yourself in my place. Now, will you do that? You now put yourself in Christ's place.

He is intending to build something in this world, in this earth. When you're intending to build something, what do you do first? You sit down, and you reckon out the cost of it. That's what you do. That's right.

Now, I'm calling men and women that are going to count the cost. I'm calling men and women that are going to know what it's all about. Men and women who are going to help me build. He's going to build something.

How about it? Which of you, he said, if you were building a tower, wouldn't you sit down? Wouldn't you be very careful if you wanted a brick layer? If you did build in brick, if you wanted a brick layer, you think you'd get somebody who only handled trusses of straw?

He counted the cost. If he was going to build something, son, it's going to cost your blood. It's going to cost you your resignation of this glory that you share with me in heaven's time. If you do, if you say you're going to build, that's right.

Now, come on. God is not offering you an easy passage to the realms of bliss. Something's got to be done in this world. People have got to build and build together. That's right, you have. You get no card for glory if you won't work.

Not for that glory, but because you have it. You've got to do it. If you belong to the Church of Jesus Christ, got to. You've got to take up the cross and do it too. You know, beloved, in, you can read this back in the Old Testament, in the days when they were building the walls of Jerusalem.

Beside a trowel in one hand, a man had to have his sword in the other. That's right. Because we've got enemies. We've got Christ-haters. We've got people who have systematically resisted the call, and they're the hardest of the lot.

We've got to face the people who are all putting up some pretentious excuse. Always. Always. It's in their bones now. It's going to slip off their tongue any minute. Christ wants dedication. He wants men and women.

Well, he wants you not to wear a rosy wreath, nor doing something in the end hoping to get a crown. He doesn't bribe you by promises. Take up the cross, he says. We'll sort out the crown business presently.

This is the Lord I can admire. I want to be told straight. I want to be told what it's about to you. Have you taken up a Christian ethic, and you aren't worthy in the life of it? The Lord wants us to know his heart.

He said it. So then, he's not only calling for workmen, he's calling for soldiers. That's his next thing. He said, he's the king. He says, any king going to make war against another king, should this not down first, and consulted whether he be able with 10 ,000 to meet him that cometh against him with 20 ,000.

Or else, while the other is yet to come a great way off, he sends us in ambassadors, desires conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

And that's that. Now, you may not like to hear the real Jesus speaking. You might like to hear my sermons, but it's the blessed Christ. He wouldn't deceive you one minute, or one iota. Oh, but I am weak and poor.

Excellent. I was crucified through weakness. You can read it in the Corinthian letter. Excellent. You come. He's an absolute expert of turning weaklings into strong people. He's absolutely right on it for that.

Hallelujah. He wants you. Praise his wonderful name. You say, oh it's my mind, you know. I'm always tormented in my own mind. He's absolutely expert at giving you another mind, a new mind. That's what it's all about.

Having a mind that's always fashioning excuses. Hallelujah. He'll give something in you. He has his thoughts. Good, he says. But if the source of loss is savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? It's neither fit for the lad, nor yet for the dunghill, but men can't sit out.

He that hath ears to hear, you hear it. Not only going to be denied entrance to the feast, no one of them shall want to be cast out. There it is. I'm ever so glad I didn't write the Bible. I'm ever so glad I didn't think it up.

I'm so wonderful I can testify, so wonderful that I can tell you the word that came out of the mouth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. I feel he's been misrepresented. He's the meek and the lowly Jesus.

He is the great one that suffered our sins on the cross. He is all that. I say, Lord you understand me. You want me. I come weak as I am, vile as I am, helpless as I am. But I want to tell you, you can come if you have to crawl.

You can come. But know what it's all about. It isn't making sure that you have a seat in heaven one day. It's recognizing righteousness and truth and holiness and love, and the only thing that's real in the whole world, and coming to it.

That's what it's about. It's the awakening of the soul. It's the opening of the eye and the ear. It is the inspiration of truth into you. That's what it is. It starts there. The Lord having mercy upon you, of course he loves you, of course he understands, of course beloved.

We do love that. He also understands that if all he did was to be pitiful to you and didn't care about this great work that's needed to go on now, he would be guilty of negligence. And he's not negligent.

He loves you too much than to save you and then let you perish for lack of incentive or something to do, and get on with it, and serve your neighbor, and serve the world. That's what it's about. People say, I found rest, false rest.

The only way to show you at rest is to get in there and work hard. Yes. You know, if some people only worked hard, they'd have less time to think about themselves. It's very wonderful. God's a great psychologist.

Always more than that, of course. But God wants us to see the truth. Man, woman, you're letting it slip away from you. You're letting the opportunities go. And if he took you home tonight, what would you say?

What have you done? You might say, oh, I believe this, I believe that. Supposing Jesus had said, Father, I believe it, I believe I shall go there, I believe they're found in sin, I believe they're in great need, I believe it, I can see it.

And if he hadn't one day gotten up and said, take this vow, take this, take that. Oh, Father, if I go, I want you to make me in the form of a slave. You say, where did you say that? Oh, Philistines. I'll tell you what a great man will tell you this.

Have you not discovered it? Let's go on, into the 15th chapter. Listen, beloved. I'm so glad that our Lord Jesus Christ, looking upon us, and knowing that me, I, I was only ever fit for the dunghill. That's all I was fit for.

Stand up, anybody who thinks that they were never fit for the dunghill. Let's have a look at you. You were ever only fit for the dunghill. God, thank you for not abandoning us. Thank you, Lord. Thank you.

I feel like dropping my mind knees and saying, oh, Lord, thank you for giving me the chance. I didn't know it was my chance when I first heard it. I was born blind and deaf. I was born dumb, so far as the language of heaven was concerned.

I didn't know it. Ignorant. I knew nothing. Though at three years of age, I could repeat the scriptural alphabets. Of course, they don't think that I'd give them a sand play to play with, and tell them a nice little story, and give them a prayer to draw something.

That's Sunday school now. I was taught the Bible. Suppose you can see the evidence of it. Well, what will your Sunday school chance be like? Well, it's education that's done it. We're schoolteachers, so we'll apply our abilities to the Sunday school.

And you don't teach them the A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, on through the alphabet, and teach them a verse of scripture. Very funny. What a wonderful idea. Wouldn't you like to do that? You'd be outstanding in this age, you Sunday school teacher.
