<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>54-1207, At Thy Word, Lord, I'll Let Down The Net, Endicott Johnson Recreation Center, Johnson City, NY, 101 min
L-1 Good evening, friends. It's a privilege to be here in this lovely auditorium tonight in Binghamton, to have our closing service. I want to say that it's been a real pleasure being here among you good people these last few nights. And I trusting to God that someday by His grace I can come back and be with you again a little longer.
And now, I want to thank each and every one of you for your kindness. I've just been treated so nice. And I appreciate everything, the gifts. The brother bought me some clothes, and give Billy Paul a gift and sent us a couple boxes of candy, give us a love offering, to all this we're very thankful. May God richly bless you for it.

L-2 We didn't come for that--that purpose. We come to be a blessing and to receive a blessing. And we certainly have received a blessing by being with you good people.
And now, the next service knowingly, that I had would be Chicago, Illinois. That'll begin somewhere in the early part of January and will perhaps last through January and the most of February.
Since coming back, I am trying to make my meetings so I won't have to be all the time in praying for the sick which the tremendous effect that the anointing has on me. But I do some preaching.
And I--I'm to begin in Chicago, God willing. I have...?... to go home and then from there to I've got to go to Florida to pick up Brother Bosworth. And we may have a night or two down there. I'm not sure. Then I come back and use this...?... And this next meeting coming along. We certainly will have you on our hearts. And God willing, the pastors and so forth has asked me if I would return again this next summer, late in the summer. And I'll probably go to Africa and India and a--and a few more of the places overseas this summer, on return back I hope to be able to be here with you.
Now, many people believe and I'm a great believer in it to send the sick handkerchiefs. How many believes in that, let's see your hand. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?...
But that's all right. Any thing that God will bless, I'm certainly for it.

L-3 Now, in the Scriptures they didn't exactly anoint the handkerchiefs. You'll read Acts 19, I think that they took from the body of Paul handkerchiefs and aprons. And it went to the sick people. Evil spirits went out and they were healed.
Now, I think... I couldn't say of course, but I think that where Paul must have got that... You remember the Shunammite woman when the baby was dead, why she, went to Elisha, and he was God's prophet though God hadn't told him what had happened yet.
And the woman fell down in before him and Gehazi picked her up, his servant. And wondered why she acted like that coming up to his master. And he said, "Leave her alone." Said, "'Cause there's sorrow in her heart, and God has kept it a secret from me." But when she revealed what had happened, well, he sent his staff. He said, "Gehazi, take this staff, or his servant, and go ahead of him and lay it on the baby."

L-4 Now, I think (See?), that whatever Elijah touched... He knowed when he was anointed with the Holy Spirit that everything he touched was blessed. But whether the woman would believe that or not... But he went ahead and laid the baby--the staff on the baby. But the woman's faith wasn't in the staff. It was in the prophet. So the prophet had to come and put his body on the baby's body to bring it to life.
Now, however, perhaps that's where Paul got that. It's the only place in the Scripture that I know, where he could've picked that up. But whatever he touched... They seen that God was with him, and they knew that what he touched was blessed. So God honored that. It was just a little contact of faith.
