L-1 Shall we remain standing just a moment while we bow our heads for prayer. Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee for this grand, glorious privilege we have of gathering once more tonight to serve Thee; to express our feelings of love and songs and in--in praises to Thee, our great Maker and Creator.
We thank Thee for every soul that's here, and pray that there'll not be any of them lost, not one, at that great day; may they all be saved. And, Father, we pray that tonight, that the Holy Spirit will take possession of the meeting, and now and will manifest Hisself, His power, to this audience. May the sick be healed tonight, Lord, because they look at Calvary and see that great all sufficient Sacrifice that was made for them there: God's expressed love to the world, His feeling towards the sick. God, may we not spurn it tonight. May we look to it and believe; for we ask it in Jesus Name, Thy Son. Amen.

L-2 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Give an expression of my love and appreciations of the Lord Jesus Christ to youward, in praying that this night will mean much to every one of us, that God's love will be to us all.
Now, last evening, I was speaking--or giving testimonies. Now, to my great handicap, Brother Baxter leaves us tonight. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
...ing of the Word, God will bless His Word. He's going to bless His Word. So now, in Saint Matthew the 4th chapter, the 23rd verse, just the beginning of Jesus' fame, we read this:
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner and sickness and... diseases among the people.
And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all the sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those that were possessed with devils, and those that were lunaticks, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

L-3 And of course, as always has been my theme, that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His present attitude hasn't changed from what it was at that day. Now, as each night we have people coming into our services who has... probably newcomers. And in the forepart of the meeting we had kindly of a something... We had to--cool nights and so forth, so we just had to kindly set down and--and explain the--the way that Divine healing works, the best of our knowledge. So I gave these few nights now for testimony of things that has happened.
If I would try to tell one hundreth of the things that's happened, I'm afraid we'd have a very long meeting here. It would take weeks and months to get through it, what our Lord has done. No wonder He said, "These things that I do shall you also, and greater." It's not greater in--in quality, but greater in quantity, 'cause no one could do greater than He did in quality. He stopped nature, raised the dead, but He still does it. And He's just the same today as He's ever been.
