<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 He walked over to get the hat. Everybody... This little old woman setting down there, used to pray for me all the time, little old godly looking woman. Do you ever--you--some of you woman ever remember when the woman used to wear aprons, them long aprons, checkered, had a pocket on the inside? Well, that is the kinda apron she had on. And she reached down on the inside of this pocket, and I was watching her. She pulled out one of these little pocketbooks that has got a snap on top of it. And she went to reaching in there for those nickels; I couldn't stand it no more. I said, "I was just teasing you all. I didn't mean that." Uncle Jim had my hat, and he--he didn't know what to do. I said, "Oh, Uncle Jim, put my hat up. I was just teasing you. I didn't mean it."
You know, there used to be an old guy come down to my place from up in Benton Harbor, had long whiskers, long hair; his name was John Ryan. He left an old bicycle there and give it to me. And I went to ten-cent store and got a can of paint, and painted it up, and sold the bicycle for five dollars. Didn't have to take up a offering anyhow. But that's the closest I ever come to one a doing that.

L-6 So money has been a very--one thing that I've tried to keep away. Reason I wouldn't make, let my ministry, get out in great big fields, because you have to ask too much for money. I don't like that. I would just rather be just this way.
So thank you, friends. God bless each one of you. And I'm sure God will repay you. I trust that He will.
Now, just before opening the Word, now. Let us bow our heads to we--talk to the Author just a moment.

L-7 Now, dear Jesus, we're going to turn back the pages of Thy blessed holy Word. Won't You speak to us just a little while, to encourage us to have faith for the service of prayer for the sick, that we're trying to render tonight, in Thy blessed, holy Name.
No doubt but there is many churches here, in Saskatchewan, has dismissed their service tonight, so that their dear children of yours that comes to their dwelling, could come to the meeting to be prayed for. We thank You for these gallant soldiers. And there's many who did not, maybe, get the message in time to dismiss. We pray for them, God, that You'll give them great service, tonight, everywhere, throughout all the provinces, and around the world, that many might find Christ tonight.
And everywhere they're having a healing service, we pray that You'll stretch forth Your great hand of blessings over them meetings, and heal ever sick person that comes, Lord. Anoint Your servants. Give them words to speak that would just--just glorify Christ, and get the people to believe Him. Do likewise to us, Father, for we're waiting on Thee, as we read Thy Word. In Jesus Christ's Name, we ask it. Amen.

L-8 Tomorrow night now, seven-thirty, or seven o'clock the prayer cards. And we're closing this service, trying with these two nights to pray for every person that wants to be prayed for.
Now, by the grace of God, just to speak a little bit. I do not wish to take too much time, because I have already preached this afternoon. And now, I speak just for a little while tonight, merely just to get the people's feeling and the Presence of the Holy Spirit in the meeting. And then we'll start praying for the sick.
Now, I'm going to read tonight one verse of Scripture, very familiar to the smallest child here, that ever attended Sunday school, called the--the Golden Text of the Bible: John 3:16.
 For God so love the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
