<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>53-1213M, What Think Ye Of Christ?, Philadelphia Church, Chicago, IL, 53 min
L-1 To the One Who stilled the winds that night on the sea, and stopped the roaring waves, may He come forward to the rescue of this ship there where a thousand lives are in danger. May He quieten the sea. May He send mercy, forgiveness of sin or anything. And may His spirit now come to them and console them and send rescue quickly and may no lives be lost. We ask this in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
God bless you. Good morning to you my friends. May God's blessings be with you. My... People has always said when I--when I was speaking I always spoke too long. I'll do my very best this morning not to do that. I just lay my watch out here and maybe I can watch it, about fifteen minutes.
It's always a pleasure to get to be in this Philadelphian church, and among its members, and be with its pastor. I--I have considered Brother Mattsson Boze to be one of the best friends I have on this earth, as in the... Among the ministers he is a very dear brother to me. And I--I love him, and I love his people, and because they are God's people.

L-2 And I had the privilege just now of meeting Brother Stonewell, the converted scientist. And I just wish that this whole church had the burden of souls on their heart as Brother Stonewell has at this time.
I was just thinking as I was speaking to him, of that little baby innocence, and how his heart just yearned and burned. Setting talking, the tears in his eyes, and how the real rough sinner made... brought down by the power of God to that place. If we could just all get in that attitude.

L-3 I said, "Brother Stonewell, don't never lose that wonderful something that--that... It's the cream off of the top of the milk." And I pray that God will keep that man that way, and--and will bless him, because he's a wonderful spirit, he has a... It's not 'cause he's setting here at the platform. But I... That's true.
And I said, "No matter what anyone says, what any groups of people says, just keep your mind set right on Him. See? And you--they may bank everything around you, it looks so black you can't hardly see over it; just don't worry, He--He can lift us up above the shadows and He--He takes us through." His power is a drawing. He said, "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me."

L-4 And now, tonight is the service we're to have tonight is to be the--the, 'course the closing service. We just had the two, and I did this for Brother Boze and for you dear people who are around here. And more I hear about your love for Christ, 'course the more I love you. That's right. And I believe that we're living in the most wonderful age that's ever been on the earth.
We're going to... One... someday over in a great millennium we're just going to think, "Oh, if I'd just a knowed it would been this a way, what I would've done." See. "Oh, how much more I could've done if I'd just knowed what it was going to be."
Well now, you don't know it but by faith we act. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Is that right? See. Faith doesn't see; it doesn't with these eyes; it sees with the inward eyes. See? All the Christian armor, the whole armor of Christianity is supernatural. There's nothing to be seen. It's... The whole person deals with the supernatural.
