L-1 From New York... And this little city, you know, after coming from Jeffersonville, kindy is small to me, but a--being such a small town. My city is about fourteen thousand. Mr. Boze was talking about Chicago being so great. I said, "Of course that's just the outskirts of Jeffersonville." So he's always hollering about how many people he has.
Well, I tell you, when I come to New York, I--I very... I don't say this. I say this with love, and I say it more like as a--just a--to say, have something to say.

L-2 But I know that men used to be cave dwellers. When I passed down through Manhattan, I thought they got back to that again. Somebody living on the fortieth story and up in there. They run out of caves, so look like we just built some up here and went back to cave dwelling again up in New York.
It's a beautiful, wonderful city. Many good people live here. And I believe that it would be a wonderful time for a great revival to strike this city. And I am trusting to God that that will take place. Not only do I think that but many others. A...

L-3 Billy Graham was in Louisville a few weeks ago, and as many times has our paths has crossed in foreign fields, the first time I ever had a chance to speak with him and get acquainted with him. And they're coming to New York this spring. And I certainly want every one to be in prayer, that God will stir New York during that time.
And then, you brethren here, ministers and things, it's time to... Then if the fire catches, just keep going, just keep moving. For we are near something. Everyone can feel that in their--their soul, that we're near something. It could be the coming of the Lord Jesus. It could be annihilation of the city or the country. We don't know, but something's in the making. And whatever it is, no matter what it is, a Christian has no weary.

L-4 A real, borned again, child of God looks to heaven and knows that Father holds the reigns of all things. He does all things well. And there's neither death nor sorrow for a Christian. Christians doesn't die. There's not one Scripture that says a Christian dies, very vice versa. Jesus said, "He couldn't die if you believed on Him." So he has no death. And that is the greatest thing that put fear over man, was death. And Jesus died for us, and death is swallowed up in victory.
So when coming to the end of the road like Saint Paul, he said, "Oh, death, where is thy sting and, grave, where is thy victory?" But said, "Thanks be to God Who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."

L-5 Now, this afternoon, I have... It's a... We're don't have much speaking time left, and it's late, and it's not only late, but it's bad outside. It's hindered us a whole lot today, I'm sure.
And another thing, I'm rather a stranger here in New York. I've only been here a few times. I was here with our good friend, Brother Byrd, Sister Brown, and them from over in... Well, it's all New York to me, but it's over on the other side there, somewhere.
At the Saint Nicholas arena, I usually made that a jumping-off place. And I--I... When I was going overseas. And I've got acquainted with some mighty fine people up here. And I certainly love you, and appreciate all your kindness and things, and your loyalty to the Lord Jesus, and your thoughts of me as His servant.

L-6 And now, today we're going to speak just awhile this afternoon, because I have let out in time, in order that my boy and them's coming over to give out prayer cards for the prayer service tonight. We're going to pray for the sick, the Lord willing. We'd be happy to have you.
We've enjoyed a very fine stay with Brother Hudson, one of the pastors here, the Maranatha Temple. And I've certainly learned to love him better than I ever. For years he's tried to get me to come up here to visit him, and--up here in New York and around this part of the country.
