<TITLE>04. Par 14-17</TITLE>L-14 I've seen people in the meeting be paralyzed and have to be packed from the meeting, who come in laughing, cutting up. I've seen people who lost their mind, and two days later, found on the streets, officials of the city at Phoenix, Arizona, entirely insane, died the same way, calling for mercy and asking for someone to come pray for them. We do not play church. That day is over. We live in the church of the living God. So let us be reverent and have respects for God Who we worship.

L-15 And now, I want to thank the people who let us have the auditorium. We're grateful for that privilege. And may the Lord bless you. And for the policemen who's been here each night and has been very reverent and nice. I appreciate, and I'm sure a city ought to appreciate officers of that type and officials.
And the radio program and television, you been so nice. And I'm sure this little city will be blessed for its efforts. Though many of you may disagree with me in the--theology; there's many Catholic, many different denominations. I speak evil of no denomination. I am just trying to help people to know Christ and to help them that's sick. I do not come for money. I come for nothing but to help you. And I've tried my best, and I'm thankful for your prayers that you prayed for me. God ever bless you. I hope, someday, that it's the will of God that I can see you again back here, where I can stay longer, and meet your ministers and the clergy and so forth.
I want to also thank these ministers for bringing us in, giving us this opportunity. And as I said to a reporter this afternoon, for the telecast tonight, we're just all trying to do all we can to help each other.

L-16 You know, you can often hear... In the early days, in the Bible days, when a miracle was done, there was nothing said about it, but just thank the Lord, it is over. Today it must be scientifically proven. I wonder if there isn't something wrong today in that manner. I'm thinking of, like in professions, like the medical doctor. If you'll notice, the medical doctor, many times will disagree with the surgeon. "You shouldn't have operation. You need medicine." And the surgeon will say, "You need surgery and not medicine." And they'll most... Both will disagree with Chiropractic or Osteopathic, and many times all of them disagree with the minister. When you find things like that, friend, to my opinion--just like in church people--it's a selfish motive. If we were interested in each other, the doctor, the Chiropractic, the Osteopathic--which we know they all do good--let us put our shoulders, and arms together, and press on to try to make life a little better for the people we're sojourning with. If there's not selfish motive, that's the attitude I'm sure we would take.

L-17 Now, I shall read some Scripture from God's Eternal Word. And then just a shortly, we will minister to the sick, the Lord being willing.
Now, tomorrow night we're to begin at... What's the name? [Someone says, "Pittsfield, Mass--Ed.] Pittsfield, Massachusetts. From there on till Boston, I believe [Someone says, "Everett."--Ed.], Everett, and then on into Maine, back to the--Texas again, and across the sea.
Now, I wish to read tonight, from Saint Luke, the 2nd chapter, 25th verse.
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; the same was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought... the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Then took he him up in his arms and blessed God and said,
Lord, now letteth... Thy servant depart in peace, according to Thy Word:
For my eyes have seen thy salvation,
