<TITLE>13. Par 49-52</TITLE>L-49 Oh, but bless be to God, just in this darkest of hour then here comes Jesus moving in with His outstretched hands and showing signs and wonders and giving salvation and mercy to the people. The darkest hour this world's ever seen, when the rock of Gibraltar will blow to pieces one day, but the Rock of Ages will stand forever as a memorial to the resurrection past.
God bless you, people. God bless you, children. You may be poor; you may not know where the next meals a coming from; but there's one thing you are just as welcome at the fountain of Life tonight as the richest man in the world. You come without money, without price; it's open to whosoever will.
It's the darkest hour that the family's ever seen. Look at the families broke up. There's more divorces in America alone, then there is in the whole rest of the world put together. Divorce on the rampage. Where has the honesty, and the--the sincerity, and the womanhood of our American women gone to?

L-50 Look at the man, all they do is speed over the roads trying to knock everything out of the way they can, going down and-to drink beer before they go home. Look at our young teen-age girls coming down the street, cigarettes in their hands and so... No matter how much the medical science puts out warning, "It's cancer; it's cancer." They don't care. They don't care; they'll puff them right away anyhow. A preacher can stand and preach his daylights out and tell them it's wrong; they'll say, "Oh, you old fanatic." The world is ready for judgment, and we're going to receive it. You mark my word. It won't be too long until there's going to be something take place.

L-51 When I seen this revival, it swept in a moment. It's went over. Standing there when that morning star hung yonder on the river, twenty something years ago when He said, "The Message will sweep the world."... And there's been an old fashion Pentecostal outpouring of the Holy Ghost, and revival fires and healing services has covered the globe.
They made many mistakes. The newspaper's write up here not long ago in McCraw or "MacCall's" when that man set my meeting up there at Minneapolis... Some of them, Mr. Peterson and them come telling me that he was in the meeting. I said, "No doubt at all, but you never searched your articles right. You said, 'A. A. Allen wrote that book', and A. A. Allen had nothing to do with it. Then if that was such a mistake, I believe the rest of it's a lot of mistakes." I said, "Truly, the brethren might deserve a lot of criticism; they made many mistakes. That's all right. But brother, I'd rather be found on the battlefield making mistakes then to be a criticizer of the man that's trying to get souls saved to God. What are you doing about it?"

L-52 Blessed be the Name of the Lord God. The power of the Lord Jesus Christ is just as sufficient tonight; it's the only Rock; it's the only hope; it's the only faith, and Christ has presented it to you. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Live or turn away and die. It's the darkest hour the world has ever seen. But Jesus has come along. And He's here now. His blessings is open. His side is pierced. His hands are reaching. And whosoever will, may come and drink from the fountains of Life freely. You make your choice. Your eternal destination will be--will be staked upon your attitude towards Jesus Christ. This might be your last chance. And when we bow our heads now just for a word of prayer. I'll ask the sister to come to the piano. While every person is in prayer, I want you to think it over.
Where could you go tonight? What would happen tonight if a heart attack would strike you? This may be the last opportunity you have. Think it over now. If it is, won't you take this opportunity. You say, "Well, I'm kind of young." Oh, brother, sister, He's no respect of age. You can cross the line when you're young or when you're old; it doesn't matter. See?
