  67. to hold on church, heyman, because here's what I want to preach on.

  68. The I want to preach on run run. What does rhyme mean?

  69. Well, the simple terminology run, it says to go quickly by moving the

  70. legs more rapidly than a walk. That's pretty simple. In the church.

  71. And then that's pretty simple. It means to move with haste. It means

  72. to act quickly. Amen. But in this slight church, there's many of

  73. pains that hinder us. There's many of paints that comes around, Amember,

  74. brother, I don't know. In the Church of God, here's the gold.
