L-1 Good evening, friends. Certainly a privilege to be here tonight in this meeting again, coming in the love of the Lord Jesus to minister to His dear people that's so much in need. And may His blessings rest upon each and every one of you.
A bad night on the outside, or it seems that way, maybe to me being a Southerner, but up here it maybe all right. I was certainly happy tonight when the--some of the brethren here at the church come and got me, and they've been so nice to me. I appreciate all your kindness.

L-2 I've got a little Chevrolet truck I've been coming back and forth in, and since I been here they'd come and get me in a big Oldsmobile. So I certainly feel like I've been honored to--to be in your meeting, to be here.
We've got, I think, this being our last night at the church, and tomorrow night we move over for closing night at the--at the hall, at--at the Endicott, or I believe, Johnson City Auditorium. Or the brothers announced it. I don't know much about the place, and I couldn't find it, I guess, but we look it up tomorrow to know how to get to it.
Now, tonight we are gathered for one sole purpose, and that's to magnify Jesus Christ to the people. I don't know no other alternative that I would be here tonight.

L-3 I'm a married man, have a family, and I really love my home, what little I get to be in my home. I've... They've moved me up to the new parsonage, at the church's parsonage seven years ago, when they built it. And I have never eaten one time in the parsonage without the shades, the Venetian blinds turned down in the kitchen, the people standing on the porch, in the yard, and around like that. I've got two children that's almost neurotics from just all hours of the night up going, when I'm at home. People coming, see they're... If it was just like from here at Binghamton, it wouldn't make much difference; but it's the whole world. You see? They gather in there.
I just heard from my wife, and they're setting in those hotels and motels there from all over the country everywhere, want to know what day, what time Friday morning I'll arrive. You see?
And um, you can imagine what it'll be. And then through the holidays people coming out... And that, we put in the papers not to do it, but people are sick. And they... Could you imagine you could--could feel at ease and a little baby laying out in the yard, maybe, in a car crying, some old poor sick mother there, that maybe a little word of prayer would change the whole situation? The only way to do, is just, they just... The brethren get me, and I just keep me away from home. That's the only thing. I--I have to get off somewhere to kinda get if off my mind. It--it's not good for you. It's... You keep that up.
Jesus told His apostle's we got to come apart into the desert. And when you're out there, and you got to do something just to keep it off your mind, you'd be thinking about it anyhow. And the prayer of the people has such an effect. You believe that? Certainly. I... Oh...
