L-1 ...?... Good evening. I'm very happy to be here tonight, to pray for the sick and the afflicted again. And trusting that God will make His love manifest to all of you people...?... the service right away, and Brother Baxter...?... preaching about...?... speaking...?...
A real man who knows what missionaries need will be speaking just before me, tomorrow afternoon. Think that's about two-thirty, three o'clock. Brother Baxter will probably announce it. My bosom friend, Brother Jackson from South Africa... And we're very thankful that Brother Jackson's here with us, from all the way from South Africa. There's been many meetings there he was in. I'm sure you'll be delighted to hear him speak. I'd like for all...?... tens of thousands and thousands that never heard the Name of Jesus Christ. It's not fair for ordained ministers to be over here in America, and things like that, and preaching and arguing about little doctrines and things, and millions that never even heard His Name called. My heart goes to them...?... since then.

L-2 Although sometimes they go down there and teach reading, writing, arithmetic, but that's not what they need. A civilized native, educated man, is a thousands times worse off than what he was before he left the...?... before he left his...?... All he really needs is Jesus Christ. That's just what the world needs today, is Jesus Christ.
I'm very thankful to... for this opportunity we've had to be here. There was a little mix-up in us coming, which was a little error to the managers, and the ministers, and...?... to my understanding...?... was just to be here till tomorrow morning...?... have to be in Minneapolis, and so the Lord has led me over that way. And in speaking, there was Mr. Baxter, just kind of misunderstood it a little bit, in giving out to the ministers. Which was rather slow. I believe that the ministers...?... pastors, about it.

L-3 I'd like to speak to you for a time, and I know that that was the... our Lord, and I only had one way to do, and that's follow the way He leads. I'm sure all Christians do the same thing. I was...
Although, Rev. Mr...?... tried to speak to continue on for longer. As well as I would like to do it, within myself, I must strictly obey God. And that is the truth.
When I was in Africa, many of you has read the story what happened in Africa, haven't you? The Lord told me not to go to a certain district. Well, they told me down there when I got there, they said, "You must go down to this district."
And I said, "Well, that's all right with me; I'm just here for the...?... I didn't care where I pray for the sick at.

L-4 So that night, Mr. Baxter come to me; he said, "Well, you'll be starting out about tomorrow, or I mean the day after that, tomorrow. He said, "We'll be starting down to Kerksdorp." Said, "We will go from Kerksdorp, to Kimberley, from Kimberly to Bloemfontein, from Bloemfontein to Cape Town, from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth...?... and to Durban."
Well, Durban is where I thought I was going all the time. Well, I said, "That's where Miss. Nightingale was healed. I just didn't know too much about my geography.
When I told my wife, she said, "Where are you going to have these services at, honey?"
I said, "They'll be Durban, Southern Rhodesia." That's like saying, "Battle Creek, Canada." As far as I know, there's no such a thing.
