L-1 Thank you, Brother Baxter. Good evening, friends. This is a grand privilege to be here tonight in Edmonton. After having a great revival here a few years ago, it's always been my heart's desire to get back to my lovely friends at Edmonton. I've appreciated your letters just since I have been gone, and all that you have done in praying for me and the success of God's work. And we thought it would be very nice tonight, if we could stop over and share the blessings of God with you for this one night. Wish that we could stay longer; have to hurry right home. Have to leave at two o'clock in the morning to be going, to hurry right back again for another service. And it's been a constant go since we have left here, and the Lord has been good to us to help us minister to His people.
I'm thankful for this bunch of ministers here on the platform tonight, and many others of the groups that's represented here. And you're always very dear to me. You're God's children.
I've always knowed this, and I've found this in my life of ministry. If you'll... If you want to serve God, serve His people. That's how you serve. As we love one another, we love God. And I love His people, and I'm doing all that I know how to try to represent our Lord Jesus Christ to them in a way of His Divine mercies and powers that He has given to the church in this last day.

L-2 Now, I was very much carried away with Brother Baxter's talk tonight. That's the first time, and since he's been managing the meetings, that I've ever set on the platform and heard him speak: the first time in years that I've knowed Mr. Baxter, about 5 years. It's always in the meetings that I'm out praying, getting ready, seeking God, and praying and fasting before the meeting. That's usually the procedure. I never get into the meetings until the time to come out in--under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and go right into praying for the sick.
And I certainly like the way he presented that, and that's the way that I've always tried to represent it to the people. But many magazines and so forth, has represented me as a Divine healer, and so forth. But, friends, that's wrong: I'm your brother. I--I'm no Divine healer; I'm just one of you, if you will let me be. God be blessed to bringing me into the fold.

L-3 There's many men in here, setting nearby me, was probably preaching the Gospel when I was a baby. And I feel very humble to be standing here tonight before ministers who are aged, and preached the Word so long; who've paved the road and made it easy for me to come. What if they hadn't have preached Divine healing before this was manifested? Then there'll... I'd have a--an awful road to go. But by their help, and what they have stood for, I am come in confirmation of what they preached. And I'm very grateful to those brothers, thinking that sometime, when life is all over, and the last prayer is said here on earth, and the Bible closed, and we come down to the end of the road, enter into His joys up there... And I just wonder when that great supper is set, the last supper... Down along the lines of the thousands of miles, we'll set across the table from each other. I tell you. That's going to be glorious time, isn't it? We look across the table to one another and see those veterans who's "fought to win the prize and sailed through bloody seas." I guess we'll shake each other's hand and no doubt, a little tear drop will down our cheeks, but the King will come out, and wipe the tears from our eyes, and say, "Don't cry; it's all over now. We're home." And that's what I look forward to, friends, for that day.
