<TITLE>02. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 I want to read some Scripture just before we start into the service, found in Hebrews the 13th chapter, the 10th through the 14th verse.
And now, are you hearing any better, any--anywhere? Can you hear back over in this corner? I notice many people even going out, that they seem like they look at one another, and shake their heads and just get up and go out. They can't hear. Bear with me just a little while, if you will.
I read these words:
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
For here we have no continuing city...

L-7 (Thank you.) Can we bow our heads just a moment now? Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the privilege of being gathered here in the building today, and for living in a nation where freedom of religion, and we can have a right to speak, and to talk, and to congregate together. And as the poet said, "Long may our lands be bright, with freedoms holy light. Protect us by Thy might, great God, our King."

L-8 And today, as we're going to take a little visit, if it be Thy will, down the lane, backing up, where we used to trod years ago, we pray that You'll be with us, and help us. And may many here that's aliened away from home, strange country, I pray, God, that You'll let them draw nigh unto Thee. For we know that we are pilgrims and strangers in this world. We're seeking a city to come whose Builder and Maker is God. Bless everyone. May something miraculously take place today, because that these poor people has made an effort to come out, and to set in this cold room, under this difficult, just to gather for the Gospel's sake. We pray that You'll grant these things, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-9 Let us, today, as... And I will hurry and watch my watch. It's... Life is--hasn't been a flower bed of ease for me, Christian friends. It's been one toil and tussle after another. To go into it in the right way, and tell of what God has done would take hours, so you just have to kind of cut it up in a few moments, so that you won't get too cold, as we're trying this afternoon.
But there's no one here but what likes to think of childhood. Isn't that right? Most of my audience this afternoon are at least middle-aged people, few young folks. But no matter wherever you roam, you'll never find no place like home, no matter where it is.
Many of you elderly people here this afternoon, gray-hair, if you could just close your eyes and take a little mental trip back down that old path that you used to walk when you was a child, and think of the old garden gate, and many things, a mother that's gone on long years ago, an old dad, it--it brings back something that we cherish as a picture in our heart; but nothing can take it out of there. How many of you can remember an old home place this afternoon? Let's see your hands. Just looky. How many of you are away from home, away from your home place? Let's see your hands. Just look.
