L-1 Brother Lee... Let us remain standing just a moment now for prayer as we bow our heads.
Eternal and blessed God, we are thankful for this privilege of being here in this place tonight, this hippodrome and arena. And we are so happy to see that people in a daring snowstorm still has the courage to come out to hear the Word of God, and that the faith of our fathers is living still in spite of dungeon, sword, or death. And I'm thankful, Lord, to be associated tonight along this group of the purchase of Thy Blood.
We'd ask that You would visit us tonight in a very special way. Bless this little group. And we pray that when the service is ended, as we go to our different homes, may we be able to say like those who came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us as he talked to us along the road." For we ask it in Jesus' Name, Thy Son. Amen. May be seated.

L-2 As I was coming down to--tonight, we were late because you can just drive real slow, the snowstorms are so terrific. And I was thinking that people who come to a service on a night like this, certainly did not come out to be seen. They come out because they love the Lord Jesus. And Jesus said in His Word, "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me." And there's something about the Gospel that's been the world's greatest drawing card. No matter if it's even preached in its simplicity, yet it has something about it that nothing else has ever touched the heart of man to draw them like the Gospel of the Lord Jesus.
And I am grateful to God for you group that's out tonight. Many people living at a distance would say, "Now, wait a minute, they're going to be there ten nights. I want to go, but not on a night like this." Well, that's--that's all right. But you have--have dared the storm. Now, we're pray that God will bless you and will meet everything that you have need of. I'm here to be your brother and servant of Christ.

L-3 And now, I don't want to keep you very long. Tomorrow is Sunday. And if any of you visitors are here from other parts of the country, I'm sure that you'll be welcome to some of these fine churches around here in the morning. I know that there is many. I have looked over the little ads of churches, and there's many fine churches here that represents the church that you've come from. And if you have no church, then find one somewhere in the morning and go. There's some ministers, I guess, that sets here on the platform, and they'd be glad to have you at their churches. I'm sure they would. Give you a visitor's card, if they do so in their church, so that you can take to your own church and you're--if you're--won't be counted missing in your Sunday school.
Then tomorrow afternoon, the Lord willing, it falls my lot to speak tomorrow afternoon; that is, not on the healing service, but an evangelistic message. And if you and your pastor and your congregation can see to come, we'd be happy to have you.
Sunday, we do not ask people to leave their post of duty unless the church has fully cooperated and you have no services at your church. We're here as a visitor. We don't want to pull anyone from their post of duty. We're trying to help that church to grow. And we want every member at his own church. And then, if you have sickness and you want to be prayed for tomorrow night, get permission from your pastor. Tell him what you want to do. If it's the only night that you can get here, we'd be glad to have you. But first, is your duty at your church.
And tomorrow afternoon, everybody I ha--guess has no services tomorrow afternoon, so if you can, come out. I want to preach on, tomorrow afternoon, if the Lord willing, "A Perverted Life." And be about a hour of your time, I suppose. And they've announced what time the services would start. I suppose at two-thirty. Every creed, denomination, color, race, everybody's welcome.
