L-1 Thank you. While we remain standing, let's just speak to the Lord a moment.
Our blessed heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight for the grace of the Lord Jesus that's shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, and how Thou has redeemed us when we were unworthy, not worthy to be redeemed. And, Father, we repent of all of our sins; for we know since we've been redeemed, we have nothing, by no means, showed our appreciation of You redeeming us from the place that we were headed for. But by Thy amazing grace Thou has brought us safe thus far. We believe that You'll take us through, because You chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we might be a peculiar people, a holy people, a royal priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifice, the fruits of our lips giving praise to His Name.
And we pray, God, tonight that You'll open our hearts. Send down the Holy Spirit. And may we fellowship around the Word in such a way that when we leave tonight, may it be said like those who came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He talked to us along the road." Heal the sick; call the sinner to repentance; bring back the wandering; and we'll praise Thee in Jesus' Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-2 I am so happy to be here again tonight in this great arena to worship the Lord Jesus with you, who love Him, and love to fellowship around His blessed Word. This has been a great day for me. I've had the privilege of meeting some of the pastors and so forth: Dr. Canada, for one, who I met today, a very fine man. He showed me his great, nice church, and I was so happy to get to see it. And so, telling me about the wonderful fellowship that you have here in this Golden Gate territory, and we are happy to know that. The Lord richly bless you, my brethren. And may the Lord just make you great shepherds over the flock that the Holy Spirit is guiding you to feed, and to nourish, and to bring in to that great day.

L-3 You know, I think what a--these meetings are when we catch the sinner... You know, Jesus found a man, one time in a parable, was on his road from Jericho--or from Jerusalem to Jericho. It showed he was backsliding. He was going from up high, going down low. He was a backsliding. And he met him on the road, and a enemy had beaten him, and robbed him, and left him half dead: that was physically alive, spiritually dead. So on... he... The priests and the Levites, and so forth, passed him; but the good Samaritan, as Jesus taught it, came, picked him up, poured oil in and wine and taken him to the inn.
Now, there's the place I want to get to you. He taken him to the inn and said to the caretaker, "Take care of him." He give him a couple of pennies, or whatever it was, to pay his way, and said, "Now, if he needs any more, just go ahead and take care of him; I'll make it right when I come."
Now, you shepherds, God give you the Spirit and the Word to take care of these wounded ones that's been brought in. If you need any more, He'll take care of that when He comes. So just feed those sheep.

L-4 Yesterday afternoon was one of the thrilling times and moments of my life to see this whole place in here, and up-and-down the aisles, filled with people seeking the Lord Jesus. Oh, it was a glorious sight. I... When things like that happens, it just thrills the heart of a minister, a believer, to see people do that.

L-5 Now, we've got one more night. I believe the boys told me the (Gene and Leo, they're the tape boys.)... They have the tapes from meetings, and if anyone wants them, why, they have them. And they had some books and a few pictures. And I think they said they just had just about a, maybe just... This will probably be the last night of them. So you may get one if you wish, as you go out.
