<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 I hope that someday, I can come back to Hammond again, come back and hold a meeting, when it would, maybe, a little cooler, in the fall or something, when we could secure the auditorium here, this civic center. I want to thank these gentlemen, the men who was--let us have this auditorium, this civic center. They're nice. And we thank you, gentlemen, from the depths of our heart, and may God's blessings rest upon you each, is my prayer.
And to all the cooperating ministers, that cooperated in the meeting, I say, "God's peace be with you. May many souls be that was saved during the meetings, come into your church." And to all the--the laity, and so forth, I pray that we have been a blessing to you, that you'll go away from here with your souls filled up with the glory of God, going forward now, to be better Christians than what you was, with a more determination to serve our Lord.
And as your brother, I want to leave tonight. And I thank you, the ushers, and all, everyone. If I leave out anyone, forgive me, I don't mean too. You've been more than kind to me, and I love you for it with all my heart. And now, if I leave out any, a certain part, any people, well, you forgive me. I don't mean to do that.

L-6 Now, I shall start praying for the sick, just in a few moments. Just as quick as I possibly can, I will start praying for the sick and the needy.
Now, any time that I can be a blessing to you, or anything that I can do to help you, I'll be glad to hear from you. And if you want me to send you anointed cloth, or something that I prayed over, which many times... How many believes in that, sending handkerchiefs and aprons? Well, friends, I send out thousands a week. But look, never one, that I pray for it. Now, you might find a little form there, that... We've got a universal prayer going around the world. Every three hours, or ever... that's at nine o'clock at morning, twelve o'clock at noon, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, Eastern Daylight Standard time. We--we pray for the sick. And that goes around the world. People down in Africa, get up at midnight to offer up prayer at that time. When, I guess, around a million voices break forth together. Something has to happen. Don't you believe so...?... When... Just think of it.

L-7 And now, we send you a little mimeograph thing, what to do; that is, if you got anything in your life, go make it right with God. And go get your pastor, some good, religious person, have the--a prayer, and put this on you. And then it tells you what to do.
Now, it is true, a secretary makes... It's made up. I've made it up, and told you what to do, but it's run off by a secretary, put out by my secretary at Jeffersonville. But the prayer cloths, I've prayed over that myself (see?), myself.

L-8 Look, if my baby was sick, and I wanted some man, that could come from... Now, many times, you believe in anointing a cloth. That's all right; that's perfectly all right. Anything that God will bless, I'm for it. Aren't you? That's right. See? Now, many people anoint the cloth, but if you'll follow me in the Bible, it was not... Paul didn't anoint the cloth, "He taken from his body, handkerchiefs and aprons." Is that right? He never anointed them; he just taken them from his body.
Now, I believe he got that from Elijah's staff. Elijah went and said--said, "Lay the staff on the baby." See? Elijah knew that what he touched was blessed. But now, whether the Shunammite woman would believe it or not, that's different.
But now, Paul got that from there, that he knew that what he touched was blessed. And the people believed him to be God's servant and His prophet. So what he touched, he believed was blessed, and he sent the handkerchief, and the people received that.
