Hey, PH,  the main line is the line that goes directly through from point A to point B.  Other smaller lines branch off.  Busses, trains, telephones had main lines.  If He is on the main line, you can always get Him.

Old word for telephone - several houses used to share a party line, the 'mainline' I believe was the common telephone line between them. Think of Jesus as the 'operator' facilitating the connection, as in old shows like Green Acres.

A bit like Facebook and Twitter nowadays...

GE Patterson, on his CD explained it slightly different. He said that Jesus being on the mainline would mean that there were no other parties on your line and that you had a direct connection to Jesus.

This is all obviously before my time, so idk...
