Hi everyone!
Brother Zoli has been reading my father’s biography. He sent me an excerpt from the book (below), and added a brief comment afterward.

BROTHER HUNNINGS GETS UNSAVED
One of the first people with whom my father discussed his revelation from God concerning the new and quickly-spreading doctrine of “getting saved” was Brother Hunnings. He found Brother Hunnings standing alongside a street and began to explain what God had said to him and how the truth had been revealed, not knowing what kind of reaction the older man would have. Brother Hunnings kept looking down, listening in silence, his handlebar mustache curling up on his cheeks.
When my father finished talking, he stood still and waited for Brother Hunnings’ response. The elder pondered for a few moments what had been told him, his face turned down toward the ground. At length he said very calmly, “Now, let me see if I understand what you’re saying.” With that, he made an “X” in the dirt with the toe of his shoe and said, “This ‘X’ is the filling station.” Then with the toe of his shoe he drew a line in the dirt, saying, “After we’re filled, we live in this world until we die or Jesus comes.” And with that, he drew another “X” at the end of the line. “And that is the saving station. You’re saying that the saving station is at the end of the line, not at the beginning.”
My father said, “You’ve got it!” Brother Hunnings began to help him preach the new message everywhere they went.
I love it!! :)))
