Listen to me, sinners.
:36:05
Listen to me, sinners.
:36:07
You can't pray to kingdom come
and play bridge or poker. And, Mother,

:36:12
you can't say your psalms and look
at God through the bottom of a beer mug.

:36:16
And you, brother,
:36:17
you can't go to church on Sunday
and cheat at business on Monday.

:36:21
We're comin' back to you, God. We're
comin' back to the old-time religion!

:36:30
And what is religion?
:36:33
What is religion?
:36:35
Religion is love.
:36:37
And love is the morning
and the evening star.

:36:40
Love, the eternal glorious musicmaker.
:36:43
Love! Not the carnal love,
but the divine love.

:36:46
And where does this great love
come from? It comes direct from God!

:36:55
I admit I'm not smart like some of them...
:36:58
some of them smart-alecky professors,
wise-guy writers and agitators.

:37:02
I know nothing of theosophy, philosophy,
psychology, ideology or any other ology.

:37:06
But I know this.
:37:08
With Christ, you're saved,
and without him, you're lost.

:37:13
And how do I know
there's a merciful God?

:37:15
Because I've seen the devil
plenty of times!

:37:32
Any punk ball player
can make a slide like that.

:37:35
But how many folks have got the guts
to play ball on God's team?

:37:38
And listen to this. The captain
of that team is Jesus Christ himself.

:37:44
So, come on, man, woman, child.
:37:46
Who'll be the first
to shake hands for Jesus?

:37:50
Come on, now! Everyone!
:37:55
Are you gonna make me beg and beg
when I'm offerin' you my Jesus?
