<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>57-1213, And Then Jesus Came, Essex Theater, Newark, NJ, 109 min
L-1 Let us remain standing, and bow our heads just a moment for prayer. Blessed and eternal God, we come into Thy Presence by the way of prayer just now to offer ourself as servants to Thee. We ask that You would bless us in a special way tonight, and these dear children of Thine that's waiting in this cold room.
And we're mindful of someday when death is going to chill our bodies. And may we tonight, if we're not prepared, may we prepare to meet that hour, that when death comes into our room to take us from this life to the one that is beyond, may we come to it with joy, in faith knowing that we know Him Who said, "I am the Resurrection and the Life."

L-2 And, Father, if there be such a one here tonight who could not meet this event in that great victorious cry of Saint Paul, "I have fought a good fight and finished the course," may this be their night of preparation. Heal the sick and the needy, Lord. Bless us in these few words and get glory to Thyself; for we ask it in the Name of Thy Son, the Lord Jesus. Amen. May be seated.
It is a much disappointment to all of us tonight that our furnace has broken down, and without any fire. Therefore I would be cruel to hold you very long. And you're so nice to come out anyhow, and I thank you for this. And I understand from my son who just told me at the door, that tomorrow the meetings are to be held (I guess you have announced it) in Brooklyn.

L-3 But if the good Lord of heaven being willing, in the month of May we have the entire month for the New England states here for a great services. Thank you. And--and they're making ready now. And there is a business man that's on the committee, that's going from church to church, and from place to place, and we want full cooperation from all churches.
No matter what your religious view is, if you believe Jesus Christ to be God's Son and have accepted Him as your Saviour, you're my brother and sister. And if God accepted you with your peculiarities and I, with my peculiarities, we should be thankful enough to recognize each other as brothers and sisters. See? And we're all working for one great purpose; that's for His Kingdom. And anything different from that would be the wrong motive anyhow.

L-4 Now, I feel so sorry about this, and I'm sure that Brother Hutchinson is embarrassed to--to shame. But it's something we could not help. It's a matter that has been done here. The--the building is perhaps very old and the furnace likewise. But I will just speak to you a few moments by reading a text out of the Scripture and just being quickly. Then we'll pray for the sick, and worship the Lord, and just get ourselves right into the service now, and--and worship Him.
Tomorrow afternoon, if the Lord willing, I want to speak on the subject that I had planned for tonight over at the other place, a subject that I think is timely, more or less for the church in this day. The topic was to be, "Hear Ye Him." And tomorrow night, I wish to speak on: "A Notable Way To Recognize A Divine Gift." Now, the Lord bless.
