L-1 Thank you, Brother Thom. Will you give that little thing all the volume you have got there, if you will. I almost got out of coming down here tonight. I got the flu. And I promised to be here. And I said to Brother Neville, to have Brother Cox to come up and tell him. I said, "Tell Brother Neville to go ahead and have the service, 'cause I'm so hoarse. I can hardly make a squeak."
And he said, come back and said, "You better come up, Brother Bill. I believe it'd be a good thing." So I--I'm always willing to make some sort of an effort. If a... I'm really too hoarse to preach to you, but I can talk to you just a little while, by the help of this little gadget here. I...
Every time when I come to Indiana, I--I get hoarse. I don't know why, but I--I do, every time, take a cold. It's so low right in here. I drop down in here, and it just looks like I just can't keep from it. I pray, looks like it comes anyhow. But--but I always try to do the best I can with what I have to do with. So that's the way I've always tried to do, the best that we can. That's all God respects--expects, rather, excuse me; is all He expects.

L-4 Now, I trust that--that our Lord will bless you all and will give you a great blessing throughout this service this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The services will go on tonight, tomorrow night. Isn't it, Brother Neville? [Brother Neville says, "Yes."--Ed.] Just goes right on tomorrow night.
I've got to come down here, and then leave here and go over to speak to a group of missionaries that's in Louisville. I think--I think it's either seventeen or twenty-seven nations represented at a missionary rally. They wanted me to have a few minutes over there tomorrow night. Sun... Sunday morning is the...

L-6 What is it? [A man says, "Would you pray for this man right here now?"--Ed.] Lay your hand right on him, brother.
Our heavenly Father, we pray in the Name of Thy beloved Child, Jesus, just at this time, that Thy mercy may be extended to us tonight, in the way of healing of our brother, the man setting that's there who seems to be very sick at this time. You said, "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed." And I pray with these people tonight, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, that You'll heal our brother at this time. As our brother stands there with his hands laid upon him, representing the hand of our Lord Jesus, and we together join our prayers and send them to Thee in Christ's Name, that our brother may recover quickly from this sickness that he has. Amen.
The Lord bless you, brother. You all give him a little air. He's kind of penned in there a little bit. Why, let him walk out. If you want to walk out, sir, why, go right ahead and get you a seat in the back of the building there, where you get you some air.
Now, the Lord Jesus knows all of our troubles. He is our burden barrier.
