<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>53-0829, The Testimony Of Jesus Christ, Chicago Gospel Tabernacle, Chicago, IL, 82 min
L-1 Remain standing while we bow our heads just a moment, please. Our heavenly Father, it's with grateful hearts that we approach Thee tonight in the Name of Thy beloved Son Jesus. To think, that one time we poor Gentiles, alienated from God, far away from the commonwealth of--of salvation, and how that we were carried away with dumb idols, and in due season Christ died in our stead.
The One that was most beautiful was made ugly and disfigured on Calvary, that we through His suffering might be brought nigh unto God. And tonight we have this grand marvelous privilege to be called sons and daughters of God. How happy we are.

L-2 We're unworthy of such a blessing. And we confess our sins that we're not... and our unworthiness. But happily, we're so happy to announce to the people that Jesus has did this great marvelous thing for us.
And it's our duties tonight, as we go through this pilgrimage, to cry to the right and left for aliens to come to the cross and be saved.
We pray, God, that tonight that many may find this saving grace, and many people who are wayward and out of the way, may be reconciled to God tonight, as they look at Calvary, and see that supreme sacrifice that was made there in our behalf: the Innocent for the guilty.

L-3 Bless us together. Heal the sick and the needy. So many are suffering. The weather's so hot. Many of...?... people are sick. But Thou art Jehovah-jireh. So we pray that You'll manifest Yourself in all Your redemptive powers tonight. For we ask it in the Name of Jesus Christ, Thy Son. Amen. May be seated.
As Brother Baxter has just acknowledged that... one of our visiting friends... It's a privilege tonight, to have Brother Osborn, which has been a very close friend. We've only met two or three times in life, but a love of David and Jonathan has existed between us since we first met.
Also, Brother John Sharritt, I met him just a few moments ago, another bosom friend of mine from Phoenix, Arizona.

L-4 Reverend Mr. Beeler, one of our pastors down there at the tabernacle, and Mr. McDowell, also a friend, just flew up from the Jeffersonville church, that's with us tonight. And we're happy to have them.
Brother and Sister Wood has been here all along. One's taking recordings, setting here. Brother Wood on the book stand... My mother, many other friends, I'm happy to be with you tonight.
