<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>55-0116E, Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever, Lane Tech High School, Chicago, IL, 72 min
L-1  Only believe,
 All things are possible, only believe.
[A brother asks, "Do you want these mikes on?"--Ed.] Turn them off, if you will. That's better.
Shall we bow our heads just a moment for prayer. Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. We thank Thee tonight, Father, for the Lord Jesus Christ Who gave Hisself for us, we unworthy ones, but yet, He was willing to die for the unworthy. And we humbly accept it tonight, Lord, with all of our heart as He, being our Saviour, Redeemer, Healer.
And we pray, Father, tonight that His great Being will be present with us and will baptize us in His blessings. And may when we go from here tonight, may we go like those from Emmaus, saying, "Did not our hearts burn within us, because we seen Him and we knew Him." For we ask it in His Name. Amen.
You can be seated.

L-2 So happy for the opportunity to be in this lovely auditorium tonight here in Chicago in this Lane High School Auditorium. And we are certainly grateful to the peoples who are here, to be present at the meeting, and for all the ministers, the laity, all of God's children, the strangers in our gates. We're very thankful to this school for their fine cooperation with us to let us to let us have this through this next coming week. The churches are lovely, but they're just a little small for this type of meeting. And we're grateful for--to this school. May God grant it the best.
And for the engineer here, the electrician, and--and some that I've met today, of the ones who work here in the--with the auditorium... And we are very grateful to them and may God bless them.

L-3 Now, we trust that this week will be one of our greatest weeks in the--in the history of Chicago because of His Presence. And I am so grateful for these things, for the opportunity.
Some of you here perhaps--perhaps... How many's here was never in one of our campaigns before? Let's see your hands, never was in one of our campaigns before. Well, there's quite a number that has never been in them before.
Well, we certainly welcome you with the heartiest of welcomes. And I want to say to many of you, probably here for the first night beginning in the campaign, we been in a few nights over at the Philadelphian Church with our good friend Brother Joseph Boze. And we appreciate that fine courtesy we find from he and from his over there, his group.
And now, many of you here and last time 'fore going over to India, you helped sponsor that meeting to India. We had a great success. The Lord blessed, and many thousands of people came to know the Lord Jesus Christ who were unbelievers before.

L-4 Just a few night's meeting we stayed because of not sufficient room to put the people. It was approximately five hundred thousand people at the meeting. And we've had no place to put them, and they had to lay in the streets and everywhere they could. And it was just such a pathetic sight, and it raining and everything, that we told them we would come at another season to them. And we, God willing, I hope to be back again this coming summer with the Indian people.
And I certainly appreciate all that you done. And someday in the great beyond, you... some of those unbelieving heathens that worshipped idols, cattle, and flies, and fleas, and insects, and the sun, and all kinds of objects, now are sweet, lovely, humble Christians because you helped send the Gospel over there.
And at the day of the reward (See?) you is the one who gets the reward. I only done what He told me to do. You were the one who sponsored the way. So the Lord bless you.
