<TITLE>01. Par 1-2</TITLE>55-0604, Jairus, A Secret Believer, Porter Stadium, Macon, GA, 89 min
L-1 Friends, I'm sorry to be late, but I was blocked out, and I couldn't get in. This is one time I couldn't get to service. Oh, someone just pulled in and blocked the gate, and we couldn't get out till they--someone to move it.
We're thankful to be here tonight to be in the service of the Lord, to see all you fine people out here and trust that this will be a great night for His Kingdom's sake, that many of His sick children may be healed tonight, many unbelievers will become believers, accepting the Lord Jesus Christ in the pardoning of their sins.
Now, before we go farther, shall we bow our heads just a moment in a word of prayer as we speak to the King.
Our heavenly Father, we're grateful to be tonight for this privilege that we have of gathering together another day this side of the coming of the Lord, realizing that we don't know just when He will appear in glory, but knowing this that after this mortal life has ceased, we have the blessed promise that beyond this veil there awaits for us a tabernacle not made with hands.
God has provided for us a better tabernacle, wherein there will never be a prayer for the sick. There'll never be a prayer for the sinner. All these mortal things and earthly things is passed away then. In our being now we groan in the Spirit for deliverance while we're here, Father, as pilgrims and strangers, professing that we're not of this world, that Christ has called us out, called us to--chosen, elected for His sake; and we're thankful for the opportunity to bear His message.
Come to us tonight, Lord Jesus, quickly. Take the service into Thy own beloved hands and minister to each one of us as we have needs. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-2 Now this--this evening as we speak about the Lord Jesus... Last evening we had a most marvelous time. Seldom you find great faith like that at the beginning of the service, but it seemingly that this was just a little different. We had a great beginning, and we're happy for it. Such faith would continue it's just hard to tell what out Lord would do in the coming days.
I think tomorrow afternoon they're to have the services in an auditorium here in the city. Perhaps it's already been announced by the brethren who know where it is, and bring out the unsaved tomorrow.
Now, every church that the time when we--don't have it on the Sunday night or on Sunday morning, because it would interfere with other services of the city; and we do not want to interfere with any religious service. Anyone that's serving God, we believe that on Sunday mornings and Sunday nights, their post of duty's at their own church.
To you visitors that are here, visit some of these churches tomorrow yourself. Make yourself known to the people. Get acquainted with the saints of God around this community and come to the service tomorrow afternoon. And then tomorrow night back to your regular post of duty.
Now, tonight for time the first few nights when we have a long service like this of the ten nights... Seldom our services run over three nights: three to five nights is just about the limit. But in this case we had the state arena here, and we realize the metropolitan center of the city here isn't too great. It's about (I guess) seventy-five thousand, I think someone told me. So we have plenty of room.
