<TITLE>12. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 That's it. The Lord loves you or he wouldn't be giving you these things. Can't you recognize that it's His mercy here in America? He's given you the best there is in heaven. Can't you recognize it? He don't have to return back and do the things that He did. He don't have to do these things, but He does it because He loves you. He don't have to heal the sick. He don't even have to save your soul. You can just go on to torment. But He loves you, and He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Won't you think of His goodness while we bow our heads just a moment for prayer. Our sister will give us a chord on the organ. I want to thank you, sister, you and Brother Kidd, for your kindness this week, the ushers and all.
Oh, that sweet, old organ music... My raptured soul shall find rest beyond the river. In the cross, in the cross, be my glory ever.

L-45 I wonder tonight, how many sinners here, quickly, will recognize that God's been so good to you. The other day when you almost had that wreck, that was Him saved you. You remember when baby was so sick, wife was sick, the doctor said, "Well, boy, I don't know whether they'll pull through or not." But they got well, what was that? That was God's goodness. The boss had to lay off somebody, but he didn't lay off you. That was God's goodness. He's so close to you, so good to you. Don't you recognize it's Him?
Will you quickly put up your hand, say, "Forgive me for being so dilatory." God bless you, young man. God bless you over here, son. God bless you. That's right. Oh my, the hands. Know that God's been good to you. How about some of you church members that's been so cold and formal against Him. And yet you--you've heard in the meetings, God's been good to you. You wouldn't even be setting here tonight, if God wasn't good to you.
Here sets a man in--setting here in wheelchairs. You'd be in a wheelchair, too, if God wasn't so good to you. I believe God's going to be good to these men tonight and take them out of their wheelchair. These on crutches and crippled, sick, afflicted, blind, heart trouble...

L-46 Why won't you put up your hand, say, "God be merciful just now. I realize that I've mistreated You. I've not stood..." God bless you, young lady, setting here, keep waving your hand. God bless this lady, and the mother and the little baby. God bless you, sir, a middle-aged man. Way back in the back the lady, young man over to the left, God be with you. Up in the balconies to my left, up in there, God bless you. That's right. All up in there, God be merciful. All around the sides, down the second balcony to the left, God bless you. That's good. God bless you, little man. God bless you, sir. God bless you, lady. All right. God bless you, little man back there. Balconies to the left, the upper balcony and lower, would you just raise... God bless you, back there lady. I see you, colored brother and sister. Now, way up in the balcony there. God bless you, over to the left. That's good. The balconies, upper and lower to my right, would you raise your hand saying, "God be merciful. I--I--I don't reali..." God bless you back there, brother. God bless you up there, young man. God bless you, yes, way back there in the corner, those teen-agers. All right, back in here, God bless you, young lady, you, you sister. You sister, God bless you.
