<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>58-0515, Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever, National Guard Armory, Fairfield, ME, 86 min
L-1 Thank you very much. May be seated. This is a most unusual experience for me tonight, because I've looked forward since a little boy to have one time that I could minister to the people of Maine. When just a little lad I used to come here to go hunting up around Moosehead Lake, Squaw Pond, Pittston Farm, back in the territories there. And I would meet such nice people, I just wondered if Maine would be just full of those kind of people. And I've been in your lovely city here for two days, and I found it so, good honest people.
Now, they say southern hospitality, well, they... I guess this is what you call northern hospitality. So they're just as nice people here as I've ever seen in my life, with five times around the world.

L-2 So I'm certainly happy to be here tonight in this lovely auditorium and to see this nice gathering for this kind of a way away city from the big city. And your enthusiasm, and your love for Christ to come out like this for the first night that someone perhaps, never had a interest for in their life. So that's mighty fine. I appreciate this. Sorry, we only had one night. I suppose if we had eight or ten days here for a regular campaign, the Lord would do great things among us. But He will tonight; we been looking forward to that.

L-3 Now, we do not try to represent any certain denomination of church. We... I myself was ordained in Missionary Baptist Church. And...?... I never just--I never just left the church; I just started standing between the--difference between the different denominations, and to in these meeting to praying for the sick. And it helps me, friends, since the Lord has given to me...?... I do not wish to--to give it all to denomination; it's for the entire Body of the Lord Jesus Christ, regardless of what church they belong to.
And I used to herd cattle a lot in my days in the west, and I noticed when we would take the cattle up to the forest, when the ranger would stand there checking the cattle at the drift fence. Many is the times that I set there with my leg hooked around the horn of the saddle, watching. And the ranger didn't pay to much attention to the brand that was on the cattle, it was the--it was the breed of the cow. The blood that was in the cow, it had a tag, and it must be a thoroughbred hereford or it could not go on the forest. that was the main thing.

L-4 And I think that's the way it will be at the day of the judgment: It won't be exactly what brand we're wearing, as what Blood we're under. The Blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, will be the marking for His children. Some of us might say we're a Methodist, or Baptist, or Assemblies of God, or Apostolic Church, or whatever its name, but it'll be all of us under the Blood, I believe we're going in at that day. That's right. I'm expecting to visit you there at that great gathering that all human beings have looked forward to, through the ages.
Now, we talk about Divine healing mostly in my meetings. But Divine healing is not what we try to major with. You can never major on a minor. Divine healing is just a--a gift to present Christ. Now, the...?... Divine healing to catch the peo--people's attention to let them know that Jesus loves them. And the main healing that we're after is the healing of the human soul. That men that are born again have Eternal life, and shall never perish, but be raised up again at the last day. And then it'll take the spirit of your...?...
