Now, this is not to be—to be humble, or it’s not to show off, but from the bottom of my heart, I wished I had a place where I could work while in these meetings (That’s right.) so I wouldn’t have to even take up an offering or something. That’s the truth. I just dread the thoughts of taking up an offering. Don’t know why, but I’ve often seen that three things that hinder a minister. One main three things, one of them is money, and the other is women. The other one’s popularity. That’s exactly right. When a man gets to a place, he just has to scream, and cry, and carry on, and think so much of money, he forgets God; he’s gone. That’s all there is to it. That’s right.
