<TITLE>01. Par 1-13</TITLE>57-0418, The Communion, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 56 min
L-1 ... the Lord. And we are certainly sorry that we don't have seats to accommodate the people, and to those who are--are turned away to the outside. I just heard a few moments ago where we could've got a theater in New Albany, that would've perhaps taken care of about three thousand people. But we just was just... The revival was for just the little group here at the church. And--and we are just a little homecoming time. And we are very happy to see you all in.
If I'm not mistaken, I see my Georgia brethren here, Brother, can't call your name just then; Palmer, from Macon, Georgia. We're glad to have you here, Brother Palmer. Brother Crase, here at the front, we're glad to see you.

L-3 And I know that somewhere in the building is Doctor Lee Vayle, one of the sponsors of the--of the meeting at Lima, Ohio, where at the... He's the pastor of the First Baptist church, and a--a personal friend of mine. He was up home today, and has come to visit with us through the meeting. We probably, one of the nights, we'll have him to get up and say something. I tried to get him to take my place tonight to speak, and he refused it. So we hope, maybe, that maybe tomorrow night, or sometime, Brother Vayle or some of the--will be able to say a word or two, of concerning maybe the meeting or something up there, whatever the Lord puts on his heart.
There's others here that I wish I could just take the time to recognize them all, but we're happy for you to be here. I see one little fellow back there, who is a group of ministers that come, that were visiting with me this afternoon from over in Arkansas and also from Missouri.

L-5 And now, tonight we want to redeem the time, 'cause each night we're going to try to be finished by nine o'clock, if possible. Tonight is Communion night, so it'll be just a little later tonight than usual.
Tomorrow night, the Lord willing, I want to preach on: "Be Ye Therefore Perfect" and "The Perfect Sacrifice," tomorrow night. And then, that's Good Friday. And then on Saturday night, it's "The Entombment," if the Lord willing.
Sunday morning, Sunrise service at six o'clock, and at ten o'clock, a baptismal service, and ten-thirty, the Sunday school lesson, of the resurrection... And Sunday night, a regular healing service like we have out in the--in the evangelistic field...
So now we are trusting that you will get the sinner friends, and so forth, and come, be with us, and help us in this meeting this coming... continuation of this meeting, rather.

L-11 I got a new Bible tonight, was give to me by some--a Dunkard brother. And it's kind of a big thing. It's the first time I've ever preached out of it. It's a little awkward to me.
Now, I know that we have met for one purpose; that is, to--to further the cause of Christ, and to find peace in our souls, and to make us better men and women, better servants of the Lord. And if we've come for any other idea, why, then we will not be blessed of the Lord. We've come for help. We've come, looking to God. And this is the house of correction, where God gives us of His blessings, and corrects us from the wrong.

L-13 Now, just before we open the Word, or--or ask the Holy Spirit to help us, let us bow our head.
Blessed heavenly Father, into Thy Divine Presence we present ourselves now as listeners to the Gospel; and as speakers of the Word, circumcise lips that speak, and ears that hear, and hearts that receive. And may the Holy Spirit divide to us tonight, and impart the Truths of God's Eternal grace to every one of us; that, when we leave this building tonight, we'll say like those who coming from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us, because He talked to us along the road?" For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
