<TITLE>01. Par 1-1</TITLE>53-0614E, I Perceive That Thou Art A Prophet, Roberts Park Amphitheater, Connersville, IN, 58 min
L-1 Just prayed over those handkerchiefs now, Brother Willis. They're all right now. I just prayed.
Good evening, Christian friends. I am very happy to be here tonight, and to be in the service of the Lord. I want to say first that I certainly appreciate all your fine cooperation through these days [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] ...?... the same time. You must serve God. And I--I appreciate the... I love those little tots. They just set along here and reach and shake your hand. There's something about them, I just love them. I've got two of them in here of my own tonight.
And to all you people, many of you... How many's from away from Conners--... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] 
... shadow of a doubt, has taken place in the meetings. We'll never forget the meeting. In and above all of this, there's been hundreds of souls walked down this place seeking salvation of God. Think of that. Where one soul is worth ten thousand worlds. And just think, there's been hundreds that stood and accepted Jesus Christ as personal Saviour, come to the altar and been prayed for and accepted Christ, made their confession, gone back to the churches [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] ... Lord Jesus.

E-1a      And God has set in the church some apostles, secondarily prophets, gifts, so forth, in the church, for one purpose: the perfecting of the body. And now, if you happen to get sick, wherever you are, and your pastor is a man who believes that we should pray for the sick, have him to come pray for you. It'll be just the same as you was standing on this platform or anywhere. And then if your pastor's not there, get some of the deacons. If the deacons are not there, get your neighbor that's a good Christian woman to come in and pray with you. The Bible said, "Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another, that you might be healed; for the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

E-1b      And now, this is my first meeting for about six or seven years that I've ever had to--ever had to touch any finances in the meeting. That's been for the last four or five days since Brother Baxter's been gone. They take care of the finances. I never even--never even see a nickel of it. See? It goes for expenses and things, then they give me a love offering. That love offering is given to me. It's my wife, my secretary, many of them who's setting present now, many friends from my church, many of them are setting in here tonight from down at Jeffersonville where I used to be pastor. And they know this to be the truth. For you can come and investigate it, try it, plumb through the--the anywhere you want to: through the income tax, any way.
For the past two or three years I've been income tax free. And they keep a close track. I have to turn in a receipt for everything that I get and every penny that's taken up in the campaign; and a public accountant turns it in; it goes in to Indianapolis and Mr. Shaeffer, himself takes care of it. So I have to give an account for all. They know where my meetings are. Where I rent something, they... The person... Like I rent an auditorium, they turn in that rent that is by me and they know where I was at. For I keep account of everything.
