<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>58-0209A, Hear Ye Him, South Bend Gospel Tabernacle, South Bend, IN, 80 min
L-1 Let us bow our head just a moment for prayer. Father God, it's into Thy holy Presence that we come now, presenting ourselves as Thy servants. Our hearts are open; our minds are open. We are ready and waiting for the Holy Spirit to take charge, and to lead us and guide us in the things that we should say, and what we should do in this oncoming service now. Grant, Lord, that history will be made, that the glory of God will be made known by the manifesting the Holy Spirit, sinners might come, and backsliders be brought back into fellowship, and that the sick would be healed, and that the Church would rejoice and live into another sphere, Lord, closer to Thee. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-2 Billy just asked me now: he said to find out if the people were here that wanted get their prayer cards that couldn't be back tonight, to receive their prayer cards... For me to ask how many wanted them, and raise up the hand, and he'd let me take the car back, and he would stay to give the cards to those who wanted them. Who...
Maybe some that could not get back in time to get your prayer card at six-thirty tonight or seven o'clock, I think between six-thirty and seven. They give them out early, so that they won't be any interference. Or maybe he could leave some of the cards with Leo or Gene here to give out. Is their any here that can't come back and wants a prayer card, that could not come back tonight for your prayer card? Well, I suppose Billy there... I seen one lady over here, that some of you give her a prayer card out of the group that'll be given tonight, the lady right over here. She'll... And then, as far as I know, you can--you can give them out then between six-thirty and seven tonight.

L-3 I had the privilege of having lunch with your beloved pastor and his lovely wife, just a few moments ago. And it was certainly a fine time of fellowship. I told him when I walked to the platform, after eating all that Swiss steak, I wished he'd take my place this afternoon. And he was trying to buy me a great big, great big steak. I knew that wouldn't work.
So tonight the main part is in the evening service, that when... Now, I don't eat no more. Now, if I'd have service tomorrow, I don't eat no more until tomorrow morning. Light breakfast, and then a good-sized dinner along about...
See, to me I know it's lunch to you all, but to me it's dinner. See? And so... See? Yeah, I can't get used to that. I get beat out of a meal somewhere. I don't know where it's at. I... We just had dinner, breakfast, or breakfast, dinner, and supper. And I can prove we're right. It wasn't the Lord's dinner; it was His supper, was... So I always felt like I was beat out a little bit, if I kind of called this dinner at nighttime, then where's my supper going to be. See? I--I always lose a meal somewhere.
Well, you know, even the Lord had a sense of humor, you know; so I guess His children does too. We want us to be happy. You know, I was reading here sometime ago, where it taken eighty percent more muscles to frown than it does to smile. So it's better to be laughing than be frowning. Isn't it? That's right.
