L-1 Thank you very much. Shall we bow our heads for a word of prayer.
Our kind, heavenly Father, we are grateful to Thee for this, a time of fellowship together, here in Chicago, with Your beloved children. Many of them are from different parts of the world, and we're so grateful as we assemble together time after time, knowing that someday we will assemble on the other side in Thy Kingdom, where we will never part no more. And while it is called day, here on earth, may we work together with all unity and--and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, for the upbuilding of His Kingdom.
Forgive us of our sins, trespasses against Thee, and may the Holy Spirit take the service now, into His control and get glory. For it is written, by our Lord, that, "Whatever you ask the Father in My Name, that will I do." I pray, that tonight, that we will see His Presence, His glory, overshadowing us all. We ask it in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-2 Good evening, my Christian friends, and citizens of the Kingdom of God. We are grateful, indeed, to be here tonight to minister to you in the Name of our resurrected Lord Jesus. My heart was kinda--been kinda pumping high in the last few moments. I have met some people from across the sea over in Switzerland, just as I came in, and they were telling me that the Holy Spirit, the other night, told them all about their conditions, their life, and--and how the--they were healed, and then coming right in and immediately hearing that wonderful song, "Down from His Glory." If there's a song that thrills my soul, is that song, "Down from His Glory." How that God condescending, coming down, revealing Himself in a body of flesh to take my place at Calvary as a sinner, and die in my stead to give me the right to the Tree of Life, that I might eat and live forever. How could I turn it down? How could you turn it down, such a wonderful invitation?

L-3 Then coming in and meeting our brother, here from--from overseas, from Sweden. And I just wonder what it will be when we all get to glory and see the wonderful people that we have met here time after time in the services?
Brother Joseph here, of course, when he--he introduces me, I--I... He has a great love for me, so he just says a whole lot. [Brother Branham laughs, and the Brother Boze speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.]
Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother. Thank you, my brother. I hope I never mar that feeling in my brother or anyone else. That our Lord Jesus will always keep me into a place to where I'll have fellowship and love with my brethren, for I certainly love them. It's a mutual feeling, and we, together, are co-workers, together, for the Kingdom of God, and Christ Jesus, the Lord.

L-4 And now, tomorrow afternoon service, I think, begins around two o'clock, or something like that. And I think our brother from Sweden is going to speak for us, and then tomorrow night is the closing of these services, this series. 'Cause I have to hurry right home, start tomorrow night, perhaps, and Monday at two o'clock, I have to be down to Fort Knox, Kentucky, to take some more of those shots to go overseas. I try to tell them I don't need them, but they won't listen to me. And I just... My arms gets so sore, and they... I don't need those things, I--but the--the law says I must have them. So the Bible said, "Give Caesar, what's Caesar's; God's what's God's." So if--I'll have to take the shots, and then preach the Gospel to them, won't I? So that'll be getting, God what's God's. Caesar, what's Caesar's.
