L-1 [The quality of this recording is very poor and difficult to understand, so this text is here presented to the best of our ability at this time--Ed.]
Good evening, friends. I'm so happy to be here this afternoon, to be in...?... of this city...?... to be back in Phoenix and have the...?... for this time...?... my boy...?... it's about five or six times that I been to Phoenix, in my ministry. And that's more than I've ever been to any other city. And He wants me to...?... outside of Chicago and Phoenix...?... in the whole United States. I been to Phoenix, Arizona...?... more than I been in my own city where I started pastoring...?... I appreciate the attitude...?... Just...?...
They're...?... to have the heater on, and, you know, I got a little bit cool, and--and I was setting there sweating and...?... the outside...?... so it makes it a little raspy for me, the heat...?...
And I noticed this warm weather in the south, your blood thins up. And up in the north, why, it gets thick. And you just can't stand the heat like people can from the south. And there's only one of me and there was three of them, so it's better to have a little extra heat than put the--say, three of three of getting a cold.

L-2 But I'll be all right. The Lord always provides for me. We're happy, very happy to be here today. My associate Brother Moore, and Brother Brown have visiting the clergymen with us, that was come from Texas. And you'll perhaps are desiring...?... to introduce the men and the other brethren to you. We're happy to be here with Brother Fowler, and all his staff of fine ministers.
And we just have to do it on the spur of moment, because going to the west coast from here. And we had planned on going over to Honolulu after that. So we wanted to stop in and say hello to our friends in Phoenix. And I aim to stay about ten or eleven days and...?... Maybe we can get acquainted in that much time. I hope so.
And the Lord will bless, we pray, in the services. And we're trusting that this will be our, not ours, but the Lord's greatest time as we gather here in Phoenix, because of His Presence ever being with us.

L-3 I just heard that our beloved Brother Roberts was just passing through a few weeks ago, and you had a wonderful meeting. I'm so happy to hear that, that Brother Roberts was here, and the Lord give him a great meeting. He's a wonderful, brother, a servant of the Lord. And I believe where people meet together and pray, that God will honor the prayers of the people. And so I know you've already been blessed by the presence of Brother Roberts being here, and the Lord being with him. And may we help share some of the blessing together. You're always a blessing to me. And I trust it being to you.
And now, the greatest thing that we have is this wonderful fellowship around the Word of God in these efforts, and seeing our Lord save the lost, bring back those who have wandered away from the path, and then especially in the healing of His sick and the afflicted children. That's our purpose of being here, is to try to do what little that we have a knowledge to do with, to try to help along this pilgrimage just that we're here in the earth, to make life a little easier to live right and a little harder to do wrong. That's what we--our purpose is for: to see Jesus Christ receive the glory that's due Him among His people.
