And now, another thing, they had seined within themselves all night and had got nothing. But one time taking God’s Word for it, they got all the fish, and even begin to sink their boats. Men’s extremity is God’s opportunity. When you’ve gone as far as you can, when the doctor’s done all he can do for you, it’s—that’s the time that God can go to talking to you. But when you got something you can lean upon besides God, you’ll do it. And when it comes to the last bit, then—then you can talk to a person about his soul. I know a man here not long ago; I couldn’t speak to him at all. I’d say—he make fun of the meeting. He said, “Oh, Billy’s cracked in the head.” Went on and said all kinds of things. And he was a doctor too, an intern at the hospital.
