<TITLE>01. Par -</TITLE>53-0610, Show Us The Father And It'll Satisfy Us, Roberts Park Amphitheater, Connersville, IN, 109 min
E-1a      Happy to be here, and greet you with the warmest of Christian love, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who suffered for us, the Innocent for we guilty. And one time being alienated from God, now has brought us nigh unto Him by the shedding of His blood, that we're called sons and daughters of God. It does not yet appear what we shall be in the final end, but we'll know we'll have a body like His, for we shall see Him as He is. That's worth it all, isn't it? That's right.
Well, last evening I was thrilled to my heart was almost standing still, when I looked and seen that tent full of people seeking God. That was a greater thrill to me than anything I've seen in a long time. It's the first time I made an altar call, I guess, since I left Africa.
One--the altar call there consist of thirty thousand got saved at one time; and then--when they had seen the glory of our Lord. And that was about the second altar call of that type that I've had since I--I left Africa.

E-1b      I remember we was standing in Durban, and there was about some hundred thousand, close to it, gathered in. We couldn't see what was down the street for three or four city blocks. And so there were many doctors and people setting around. And upon a platform built out... It was a racetrack in this, but it was much larger than Churchill Downs. Durban has the second largest in the world. London, England, has the first--the largest racetrack, then Durban, South Africa. I think Churchill Downs ranks fourth, or third, or fourth, fifth, somewhere along then.
So the place was just jammed with people all out across the track this way and all, and the stand was built way out in the field. Then for three city blocks, down every--every aisle they were setting in the streets, for three city blocks. They couldn't get the people in. And many of them packing little mud idols and claimed to be Christians, going along, but when...

E-1c      That afternoon the mayor of the city brought me out, and I--talking to a man, a colored man there, he was just... I said, "Why are they packing them--them tags?"
Said, "That means they're Christians."
I said, "Well there's a man packing an idol, and still he's a Christian?"
Said, "Oh, yes." Said, "Would you like to talk him?" He said, "He's a Zulu; I can talk to him."
I said, "All right."
Now, he--we pulled the car in. He said, "Just call him John or anything you want to call him. He'll--he'll answer you."
So, and I called the--a name; well then, he answered through the interpreter of course. And I said, "Are you a Christian?"
"Oh, yeah." He was a Christian. And I said, "Well, why the idol?" had blood sprinkled all over it, little mud figures. Oh, they had all kind of freakish looking things.
And I said, "Well, what's the--the... What about the idols?"
"Well, that's god too." See?
And I said, "God too? There's only one God." See?
And he said, "Oh, that was god." Said his father packed it.
And I said, "Well, what--what'd your father pack it for?"
Said, "Well, one day the lion got after him, and--and he built up a little fire and said a prayer, and the lion went away. So it was a god of power." So he packed it too. If the Christian God failed, then he'd go to that one. Not very much Christianity there. You see?
So then, I said, "There's nothing in that idol."
