<TITLE>28. Par 101-104</TITLE>L-101 Now, with our heads bowed, and you at the altar... Now, my friend, here's what counts: It isn't how much you pray. If you're willing to confess your sins, God's just to forgive them. And if you've confessed them, and you believe that God's Word's true, He said, "If you'll confess them, I'll forgive them."
And if you believe that God has forgive you, and by the grace of God, standing here tonight, you've made your consecration to God, and you'll go from here and live a Christian life to the best of your knowledge until death shall set you free; if you believe and accept Him as your Saviour, and promise to do that, will you raise your hand up, you that's standing at the altar? Thanks be to God. That's good. That... Every one of them with their hands up has accepted Jesus.

L-102 Now, I want you to turn right around to the audience then, each one of you here at the altar, turn right around to the audience. Now, audience look this a way. Put up your hands, my brothers and sisters, to let the people see... I mean, here at the altar, these brethren here, that you've accepted Jesus as your personal Saviour.
What did God say? "He that will confess me before men, I will confess him before My Father, and the holy angels." What does that mean? Names are written in the Lambs Book of Life tonight. Their sins are forgiven them. How many in here says that that's the Bible, and that's what God said? Raise your hand. Amen.

L-103 Now, I know that each one of you wants to give a little time of fellowship. Now, I want to speak one more word to these gentlemen here, and the sisters that's standing at the altar, my brothers and sisters.
Down south... I know I'm holding you a long time, but I've only got one more night for this. Down south... Now, this is what I want you to do, you standing here at the altar looking out that way. A long time ago they had slavery. And they'd bring the poor colored people over from Africa (the Boers), and would sell them to the--to the farmers in the south. And they would make slaves out of them.
And the poor people, they were so discouraged, away from home, they didn't know what to do. They was away from their people, know they'd never get to go back no more. And the masters, task masters, would whip them with whips, and everything, to make them work. And they were--had a hard life.

L-104 And they happened to notice one young man, among about... a slave owner who hold about a hundred slaves. And this young man, he was just such a gallant fellow, always had his chest sticking out, his chin out. He was ready to do anything, be up at any time.
And some slave buyers come by, and said, "What makes this young man so gallant? Is... Have you made him a boss over the rest of them?"
Said, "No, sir. He's just a slave."
Said, "What... Do you give him a little better food than you do the rest of them?"
Said, "No, sir. He gets the same food with the rest of them."
"Well," say, "what makes him so gallant, and how he conducts himself."
Said, "I'll tell you what. I just found out." Said, "He's the son of the king of the tribe." And said, "Yet, away from home, he still knows he's a son of a king. And his conduct must be good to hold up the morals of the rest of them."
