<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>56-0408E, The Time Is At Hand, Lane Tech High School, Chicago, IL, 82 min
L-1 Thank you, Brother Joseph. Shall we bow our heads just a moment for prayer.
Our heavenly Father, as we come now to the end of the day and to the end of this campaign, we are grateful to Thee for Thy goodness to us. We're unworthy of the things that You do for us. But we bow our hearts in gratitude and adoration to You. And we pray that You'll smile upon us tonight and say, "It was well done."
The healing service is coming up, Lord. A group of people like this, there's many in here that is sick and needy. And I pray, Father, that somehow that You'll heal every one of them tonight. And may there not be a feeble one left in our midst when this service closes.

L-2 May You just spread forth Your great arms, and take them all into Thy bosom, and show unto them, Lord, Thy love. And the sinners that's here, O God, we pray that You'll save every one and call back to the fold those who've strayed away. And we'll bow our heads and give You praise. For we ask it in the Name of Thy dear beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Amen. You can be seated.

L-3 It is always a great pleasure to be in Lane Tech High School in Chicago, Illinois, and with my dear beloved friend, Joseph Boze, Brother Einar Ekberg, Brother Hutchinson, and these other brethren, and with all you dear people. And I--very heartily thanks to all of you for your kindness. It was just...
I was thinking just a few moments ago, "I wished I could put on a list of names of all who had gave me a birthday present." And, why, I--I'd have a sheet of paper like that. And I--and I just want to say this, and surely, you--you understand what I mean, a heartily, "God bless every one of you."
And I was undoing one of the little packages awhile ago, and a little pair of rompers fell out for my little Joseph. And... I... Well, I--I just... Something in my heart... Did you ever get to a place till you couldn't express that what you want to? See? And the only thing you know to do is say, "God bless you." That's all I--I can say. Thanks a million.

L-4 Now, tonight the closing of this campaign... I am always happy to be with Chicago people. I wish all the Chicago people were just like these that's here in Lane Tech tonight. And I'm sure they are, if they would just get acquainted with the same Jesus that you know. They'd--there would not be... If everybody in Chicago was like the--the people in Lane Tech tonight, I believe that we could just send all the police out on a vacation. You see? 'Lock... Just open up all the jails, and say, "Well, there's no need of fooling with them any more. Scrap them." And we'd have... There would be peace in this valley here for everyone.
Someday it will be that way, friend. And we're looking for that day, that great day when Jesus shall come the second time to receive those who has become His servants. I want to be included in that number at that day. And being that He has loved me and forgave me of my sins, and has given me a little way that I appreciate to help win others to Him...

L-5 Sometime this afternoon I... maybe my... I over estimated, maybe. But maybe twenty people or more accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Saviour. Oh, that thrills my heart to see that, just makes me feel so good. And know that according to God's Word, when their hands went up to accept Christ, and I believe it with deep sincerity, every one of them, Jesus brought into His Kingdom today.
He can't take His Word back. He promised He would do it. And He said, "No man can come except My Father draws Him." And if the Father was here drawing them to Jesus, and they come and said, "I now want to accept Him," then there's nothing left, but they're just accepted; that's all.
