L-1 Thank you Brother...?... Thank you very much...?... Thank you very...?...
Thank you very kindly. It's indeed a privilege to be here this marvelous Angelus Temple this afternoon in the celebration of this Azusa Street outpouring of the Holy Spirit. See so many people gathered out, still contending for the faith that was once delivered to the saints. And we're trusting that through this great time of this week coming, where many anointed speakers will be speaking, that God will do the exceeding abundantly for us, that His--His Presence will be with us at every meeting. And trusting that from this gathering will go forth an old fashion Pentecostal meeting that'll sweep the world before the coming of our Lord Jesus.

L-2 And now, I know it's warm, and we'll go right straight to the Word, reading out of the Book of Saint Luke the 4th chapter and beginning with the 14th verse I read this:
 ... then he came to Nazareth, where he was brought up: and, as the custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when He had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; and... hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, and to proclaim deliverance to them that in captive...
And may the Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word.

L-3 What a privilege it is to be in Los Angeles today, knowing that many years ago as the Spanish sailed up-and-down this west coast, found this great spot here, that this... Little did they know that the great city would be here some--someday.
And then to be here in the Angelus Temple today, which is an outstanding memorial to the full Gospel faith, and in the celebration of the great outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Azusa Street fifty years ago... I was looking in the paper and seeing the picture of the--the old Azusa Street Mission. And to--just below it was a picture of this beautiful Angelus Temple, which is a... quite a long ways that the church has come from that day to this, from the old mission to this place.

L-4 And I think the association has selected a wonderful place to hold this rally, because this temple stands today as a memorial a little mother, who felt that down in her heart that Jesus Christ still lived and reigned, Mrs. McPherson. She sleeps up in Forest Lawn today, her body, but her gallant soul is at rest with God: and partings leave behind her, footprints on the sands of time.
Be in the Temple here with Brother McPherson, her son, and Brother Teeford, and many of the other staff, and the workers, and to see the members of this great fellowship gathering from all parts of the country to come in for this great rally... I'm grateful to have the opportunity to speak to you just these two nights or two times of service. And we all want to unite our hearts together in prayer to believe and to trust God for another great outpouring. God is just the same; He doesn't fail. And it's not a--exactly a--a--a jubilee of Azusa Street, it was when Jesus preached the acceptable year of the jubilee, was brought down at Pentecost and has been ever since. And we're just continuing on the great jubilee that started some nineteen hundred years ago, Pentecost.
