<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 And our good friends from South Africa, they say, will be there also. I understand they may be here in the meeting tonight. Tomorrow night... They're to be here tomorrow night. These men, I met one of them which set up, I believe, the Johannesburg meeting, or the Dur--I believe the Durban meeting, a very fine brother. And so I understand one of their greatest among the influential speakers. And if they're to speak here tomorrow night, it would behoove all of Chicago, that can pack this little place in, to be here tomorrow night, to hear...
I've got--they got pictures; I don't know whether they'll be showing those or not. They got the pictures of some of the Zulu tribes and the heathen rage, and many of those things which would be very interesting in meeting these brothers. And that's tomorrow night, isn't it, Brother Joseph? My, I'm sorry to... [Brother Boze introduces someone--Ed.]...?... Well, that's very fine. The brother, sister Masarino and family, we're certainly glad, I am, to have you here, I know, along with this congregation.

L-5 I was a little late getting in tonight, but some minister introduced me to United Brethren Church the other night and said, "Friends, the late Mr. Branham."
I said, "That's right." I said, "I was even about two hours late for my wedding. Now, if I can just be a few years late for my funeral, well, it'll be all right."
So I had to hurry, but I got to hurry up and hear one of their songs, I believe, the door was part of the way open when I was in the pastor's study, of "Onward Christian Soldiers." And I tell you; that was really wonderful. I've heard much of them; I'm sure you'd be enjoying their music.

L-6 Everybody knows what I told you, "Look for me up in heaven," didn't I? You know the--the river of Life comes out from under the throne of God, comes down, and turns a bend, and goes down this a way, towards Glory Avenue, just where it turns. Well, all the angelic choir and the musicians will all be over on that hill, a singing and playing their harps. And--and over on this side of the hill, I hope there's a little tree so I can just lean back against it and soak it in till I can really get enough of it.
I really love singing and music. I know we all do. How many knows what the order of battle is for the Lord? You know what the first thing went before the battle? Singer's and musicians went forth singing, not weeping and wailing. They--they went forth singing; then after that come the Ark of the Covenant. So they went before the ark. And then after that come the fighters. So that's a good thing. It's a very Scriptural order for a religious service. The first thing the music, then the Word, then the battle. So it's all ordered of the Lord.

L-7 Hear these brethren. And now, pray for me much, if you will. I've got some real vital decisions to make at Minneapolis, of the future plans for meetings. And I--I certainly ask... Say, I believe I'm kinda secondarily associate pastor here, is that right? And so I--I ask my church to pray for me.
I believe John Wesley said that the whole world was his parish, is that right? So that's the way it is. I feel that you're my brothers and sisters in Christ, and I certainly appreciate the time of fellowship with each and every one of you.
Now, I love the Word so well. I just love to talk on it. And tonight I thought maybe it would be appropriate, for just a little while, being hot, and--that we just have a good old fashion, Sunday school lesson on Thursday night. Wouldn't you like that, just to teach a little from the Word? I like Sunday school, and I like the teaching of the Word.
