<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>56-1004, Witnesses, Lane Tech High School, Chicago, IL, 116 min
L-1 Amen. Thank you. Shall we pray?
Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight for the Lord Jesus Who is so dear to our hearts, Who brings this wonderful fellowship to us by His grace, and we pray tonight that He will send the Holy Spirit, the Dove that ascended from heaven, and may we be so meek as the Lamb tonight, that He might abode with us and, abide with us rather, and would stay with us tonight and help us to do His will. This we ask in Jesus' Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-2 I am very happy to be in this Lane Tech High School auditorium tonight to the service of the Lord Jesus and to meet these friends from Stockholm and the brother from Mexico. Were you in the meetings at Mexico? When I was there...?... I thought I had seen his face. That's where the little baby was raised from the dead, you know, and it was a stir--quite a stir in Mexico.
Hoping to be back again with you soon in Mexico. And so, some glorious day when we cross over the great divide, why, we will see many friends no doubt that we've met all over the world. And you people in Chicago will have a great part in this, because you have prayed and helped support in ever way that you could possibly to--to send us those places and praying for us the success of the Lord.

L-3 And now, to be here tonight and on the platform. I--I don't deserve...?... Brother Joseph, he just loves me. To you strangers in here that's never been in the meeting before, he--he tries to say some good things about me, because he loves me. But remember lay them over on the Lord Jesus. [Brother Branham laughs--Ed.] It's His grace that... Our Brother Joseph is a very good friend of mine, and he sure loves me and believes the ministry that the Lord has granted me to speak in His Name.
Now, tonight we want to talk a few moments about Him, for He is the center of our subject. He's the center of our life. He's the very Fountain, the inexhaustible Fountain of Life. He's here with the Waters of Life to pour freely upon every hungry heart that'll desire His blessings.

L-4 And now, there's many churches, of course, that have to dismiss to produce this type of a crowd here tonight. And I want to say to the pastors and all, it's certainly appreciated, and to be here in this fine convention with the Philadelphian Church sponsoring. I believe it's the... Kind of an international brotherhood or something of that type that... I speak... The Independent Assemblies of God Fellowship. So I am happy to get to speak for them.
And I always like to meet where brethren are met together on one common ground. That's always been my vision, that when the church comes together bone by bone, then the sinew skin will come on. And the Spirit of God will move and will cause us to stand up on our feet and walk like Christians.
