<TITLE>10. Par 25-27</TITLE>L-25 Just a little... Have we got time for just a little word more? That night, when we went in to the Messuhalli, had twenty-five thousand in the building, they had a--a--a line standing down the street for six city blocks, thirty abreast, waiting to try to get in. The police, the soldiers, everything...
And when we got out, I had to get out of the car many blocks down, two or three blocks. A little Finnish soldiers with their rifles, little bitty boys in the army. They'd killed them nearly all off: little boys, hadn't even shaved, little smooth face. And coming, walking along there, keeping the people, and they stood there on the street, Russians, Finns, tears running down their cheeks.

L-26 Brother, I'm telling you, communism, what it needs tonight is a good touch of old time salvation demonstrated before them; it'd change the whole picture. Well, them Russians put their arms around the Finns and said, "We'll accept a God like that." And communists... You just try to feed them some old something like some lodge or something you belong to... Nothing against a lodge now, but the lodge has got its place, but it ain't the place of the church. The church is the power of God moving in the church.
Why, we stood there. And when you take any salvation or anything that'll make a Russian put his arms around a Finn and hug him, brother, there's something's happened. That's right. And if it'll do that to two men, it'll do it to the whole nation. It'll do it to the whole world. What we need tonight, is Jesus Christ as the answer to every problem (Amen.), whether it's healing, whether salvation, whether it's bringing nations together, whatever it is.

L-27 Then that night, I can remember going in. Then we're going to start the line. We just got in, and those people just standing there with their heads bowed, not because I was passing; it was because what I was representing: Jesus Christ. And then, when it got in, I remember going into the room that night. You that's getting the books, those little books called, "Man Sent from God," you got an article of it there, not in detail, it's just how--says something another how it was done.
But I remember going in the room, there's a--a girl's dormitory, such as it was, in the Messuhalli. And I happen to look. I heard a door slam. And they were singing then, "Only Believe." And I looked, and out of there stepped a little Finnish girl, little fellow about that high. And she was all crippled up, about the size of this little lady setting here. And she had a--a big brace around her here. And one of her legs was a little shorter than the other. And this leg was perfectly helpless. And they'd made a brace in front and back here, and let her leg swing free in a big shoe. And right in the end of the toe, they had a--a snap. And a strap come up and went over her shoulder and hooked back there in the back of a brace. And she had two crutches. And how she walked, she'd set those two crutches out. Then she'd pull her little shoulder up, and that'd throw that leg out, and those braces would catch, which would act the place of a leg while she would walk: very pitiful.
