L-1-1 ... Happy to have the privilege of coming in Thy Presence, and to meet with thee. And O God, may we have fellowship tonight around the written Word. May the Holy Spirit inspire all that's done or said for the glory of God. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. You may be seated.

L-1-2 They almost caught me off of guard. I was looking down here at a little Arkansas brother from way down in that great state of Arkansas. And what you doing up here in this cold country anyhow? Well, everywhere I go I meet people from Arkansas. It was one of my first places to go after I left St. Louis, where we was at Kiel Auditorium and went down into Arkansas, and I never forget those people how they come, oh, just... There was twenty-eight thousand people, the newspaper said, in Jonesboro. And the city's about eight or ten thousand, I guess, population.

L-1-3 For thirty miles around the city there was nothing, all the farm houses were taken up and tents built and things, and people living in them, under old--old trucks, and people... Raining, it'd be raining, the people holding little pieces of--of canvas and newspapers over their sick folks, just waiting for them to be prayed for. It didn't make any difference if they got in this week or next week, whenever it was, it'd be all right. See?
And I remember down at Corning... You live close to there, do you? Corning? I... You seen... I seen something there that I guess that maybe Dwight Moody, or Sankey, or some of those seen in their days. I was way out in the wilderness, had pulled back and was back there praying alone before the service. I'd see people coming out those dusty roads, going down to the service long in the afternoon. And I noticed young ladies, beautiful young ladies not over sixteen, eighteen years old, packing their shoes and stockings under their arm. Before they would get there, they'd set down, dust off their feet, and put on their hose and their shoes. They only had one pair, and it had to last. But they really loved the Lord.
Some of the most outstanding miracles I have ever seen done in America was did there. And, I want to come back to Arkansas one of these days, just have a real old time of fellowship around the Word and the people of God.

L-2-2 Now, we're just a little early tonight, and so we're going to read some of God's eternal Word as usual. And I want to... Say, I believe they said here we had a... You done announced that ministerial breakfast, and so forth? Yeah. Okay, that's all right. We want to read tonight out of the book of Genesis. And I want you to listen as we read out of the 11th chapter and the 5th verse.
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men had built.
And the LORD said, Behold, the people are one,...
I want to speak tonight on the "Oneness of Unity."

L-2-3 Now, as we go straight into the Word for this exhortation, and now, I... It's very amazing to think that how that the people that they saw here was one. And you know, that's God's plan. God wants people to be one. And it's strange to think, but the devil tries to put his plan into existence and make the people one under his plan.
Now, God has a plan and the devil has a plan. And then the devil is trying to get all people under his plan, while God's trying to get people to be one under His plan. So there's two great spirits in the world. One of them is the devil; the other is God.
