<TITLE>27. Par 278-284</TITLE>L-278 Dear Master of Life, after reading Your Word, we stand in awe, realizing that someday this reading tonight will be... We'll hear It on the tape recording, as it was, at the day of judgment. What are we going to do about it, seeing that we're living in this last age, darkness everywhere? What a time. See the Coming of the Lord, signs appearing, great tidal waves a roaring; men's hearts failing; fear, perplexed of time; distress between the nations...
Many say, "Oh, I've heard that for years." But did not the Scripture say they'd say that, "There is no difference in the time than when our fathers fell asleep?" not knowing that we're right on the threshold. He may come before morning.
And Father, what day or what hour, do we know, that this little brittle threads of life we're walking on will break from beneath us. Our poor souls will hang yonder in the balance on the Word of God, and our attitudes of what we have heard and read.
It behooves us, Lord, to stop now and check ourselves. And while men and women, boys or girls, standing here in this little audience, tonight, sane and sound, may they think deeply just now. And if they have not yet been borned again, may they purpose in their heart right now, "I'll never eat or drink until You fill me with the same manna that You filled them with at the day of Pentecost. Until the world becomes dead, and everything secondarily but Thee, My Lord, and the love for everything else will fade... But take all the love of the world from me, and let me from this day be wholly Thine." Grant it, Lord.
Be with the people as they go to their homes. Remember the needy, O God, the poor in our land, the poor in spirit, those that are hungering.
God, raise up ministers, everywhere. Fill them with the Holy Spirit, and send them forth, preaching, Lord, like firebrands. We don't know what hour... We only pass this way once. We're only mortal once, and thanks be to God for that. But the next life, we'll not preach the Gospel in the next life that is to come; but we'll rejoice in the Gospel with them of the ages who's accepted It; with the Head Captain, our Lord Jesus Who's all worthy, and all praise be to Him for ever and ever. Amen.

L-284 God bless you. Turn and shake hands with each other, while we sing "Blest Be The Tie That Binds." If you will...
 Blest be the tie that binds
 Our hearts in Christian love;
 The fellowship of kindred minds
 Is like to that Above.
 Before our Father's Throne,
Now, shake hands with each other. It's just ten minutes till the time, for the lights now is on relay. You all shake hands; go home, rejoice, and come back tomorrow night. At seven-thirty, exactly, we will begin the service, God willing. How wonderful.
