<TITLE>02. Par -</TITLE>L-2-6 Then he had a... One of his great alternatives, he had a crippled boy, and his leg was drawed up under him. And then Mr. Wood, when I came back (I went overseas, and over to Sweden, came back) and then they put the tent over in, I believe it was Cleveland, or-- Cleveland, Ohio.
And Mr. Wood yet, 'course, in the crowd just following along like many of you yet today, but determined to stay until it was over... That's the way; that's the way to do it. And he laid aside his work and brought the boy up to Cleveland.

L-2-8 After a few nights that was in the meeting ('Course, I don't remember, only just by the tape,) he was setting back in the tent, way back, he and his wife, and the Holy Spirit came down and said, "The lady setting back there with her husband, a contractor," said, "she herself has a tumor, and her boy is crippled, but THUS SAITH THE LORD--healed." Got the little fellow up; he's a fine young straight leg from that very hour on, just as normal as any boy could be.
Mr. Wood quit contracting, is loafing with me. So his boy and my boy are great chums together, and he's just as normal and well as any boy. (Expecting to go in the army right away.) So the Lord is good, isn't He, and full of mercy? And how many great things that He has did in our midst...

L-3-1 Now, today... Now, tonight, I think, being that we're going to start a little early... (I've got to be in Louisville, Kentucky, by an appointment in the morning at eight o'clock and got, drive all the way down tonight, which is around eight or ten hours' drive; so we'll get there just about in time to get to the appointment. We're leave right straight from here to the--to Louisville--and by car.) And then we are aiming to start the services just a little early tonight, and we appreciate your coming out just a little early, if you will.

L-3-2 They told me I could be on the platform... "The cards will be given at six o'clock," Brother Joseph said. And we were just... The army may get Billy pretty soon, so Mr. Wood is giving out prayer cards, and Billy's breaking him in.
I--I said, "How you getting along, Mr. Wood?"
He said, "Say," he said, "it's fine," but said, "I got down to two cards and had six people wanted it." So I... He said, "What do you do in that case?"
I said, "Just what you done." I said, "Well..." He..." And last night as he--when he was so happy, he said, "to see the people that--that he had give the cards to, standing on the platform and the--God healing them and making them well. And he was so happy about that.

L-3-3 Now, tonight they're to be given out at six, because I'm--think I'm supposed to be on the platform at quarter of eight (I believe that's right.) and then so we can dismiss a little early on account of the long tiresome drive tonight.
So thank you for coming out this afternoon, and on this windy, cold afternoon, and yet you come out. It shows you never come out to be seen. You come out for what good you could get out of the meeting from God, and I pray that He will bless you abundantly. Now, mainly, it doesn't mean the people have to be here at six o'clock, just you who want prayer cards.
And now, may the Lord add His blessings to all of our gathering together. And I--I hope that someday, the Lord willing, soon to be back in Chicago again and to serve the Lord.
