<TITLE>02. Par 4-8</TITLE>L-4 And he took it over to the squire, and the squire signed it. So some of his friends being in the city, run across the mountain and told the father of the child, "They're coming (the little child laying lifeless); they're coming, and they're going to arrest you, and throw you in jail, and take that baby to the hospital."
And this daddy walked in there, and got his dying baby, put it in its arms--his arms, held it up, and said, "God, You gave it to me, take it. 'Cause I'm just a newborn baby. If they come across here, there'll be a shooting, and I don't want to get mixed up in anything. You gave it to me; and I'm trusting You, take it. Now, You take its life. You gave it to me; You take it back."
And as he said that, the little baby turned over in the father's arms, said, "Daddy, let me down, I'm hungry."
And when they come, the authorities come to get the baby, or to get the father, said, "We're going to take you and take that child to the hospital."
Said, "Go out there in the yard; they're all playing ball and tell me which one had the diphtheria. Take the one that you think had the diphtheria. The judge has become a preacher.

L-5 That same God, Who could spare the life of that child, can bless the life of your child; he's in your arms now. Let's just hold him to God, and ask God to bless that child, and get His purpose out of his coming on earth. While we bow our heads, just a moment...
Now, mothers and fathers, in your own simple way, in your heart, and my simple way, let's dedicate these children to the Lord our God.

L-6 O God, our Father, these mothers and fathers, who's standing here with this little bit of love that You have given them, these little babies, some of them, little bald-headed, and some of them with long hair, and beautiful little girls. And they're all precious little jewels that has come to make the tie of the home tighter, little subjects of Your domain that You've granted unto these parents to raise. They're standing here before the altar of the Living God, and I pray Thee, Heavenly Father, that Your hand of mercy will rest upon each of them. As them, fathers and mothers, hold those little ones up to Thee, may the great hands, that's laid upon the heads of those little ones that come to Him, in the days gone by, may those hands, those scarred by nails, may they bless the life of each of these.

L-7 Thou has said in the Word, "You say to this mountain, be moved, believe what you say, is being done."
And as Your servant, Lord, and as these people Your servants, we say to the great Holy Spirit, "Take the lives of these little ones into Your hands. If there's sickness among them, take it away." And Lord, may they live such lives, if there is a tomorrow, that they'll be the men and women, who will pack the Gospel to the world, tomorrow. Grant it, Lord, hear our humble prayer as we dedicate them to Thee. In the Name of Thy Son, the Lord Jesus. Amen.
God bless each one of your little ones, give it long happy life.

L-8 Tonight, being the closing service, I'm anticipating on a great climax in the healing services, tonight. I believe this will be one of our greatest nights.
And now, this afternoon, I thought in the stead of preaching to you, I would like to give you a--a missionary talk.
I think they've taken a--a offering this afternoon for foreign missions. I'm completely sold on foreign missions. I believe in it with all my heart.
