L-1 Let us remain standing if you will, just for a moment for prayer. Will you bow your heads now while we meet the Author before we read His Book.
O God, we come into Thy Presence again tonight with thanksgiving in our hearts. And we thank Thee for all that our eyes has seen and our ears have heard, the great, mighty, living God making Himself known to the sons of men in this day just before the arrive of Jesus in a corporal body. And when we see Him we shall love Him and be caught up in the air with Him to meet the Lord, and forever be with Him. That's the great anticipations of our hearts as we wait daily, praying, longing, working, until the setting of the sun.

L-2 And, Lord, as we have tonight gathered here in this building on the Sabbath evening, we would ask that You would give us a special blessing tonight, that You would send the Angels from heaven that they might take their positions at every aisle and every row. And may they minister Thy Word, Lord, to the hearts of the people. Circumcise the ears that they might hear. Circumcise the lips that shall speak. And then, Lord, circumcise the eyes that shall look. And give us outstanding faith that the great power of the living God might surge through us tonight and may there not be one feeble person in our midst, spiritually or physically, when this service shall end.
O Lord, grant these things because we love You, and we love to worship Thee, and adore Thee among Thy people. We have one objective, Lord; that is to serve Thee. One motive, is to do it in the way that You'd have us to do it. So grant unto us Thy Holy Spirit for these things. We ask in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-3 Just a very few announcements, and to hurry right straight to the service, because of--or the message, because of many standing. Tomorrow night, if the Lord willing, we wish to have a Gospel message for you. And the subject will be "The Mighty Conqueror." And then on Tuesday night, if the Lord is willing, I want to speak on, "When The Eagle Stirs Her Nest And Hovers Over Her Young."
Then Wednesday night we expect to have a great climax in the service, and praying that sometime along this way, that something will happen to the people that'll set their hearts afire for God, that an old fashioned revival will break out in New England. It's tried on the west coast; it's tried in the middle east, tried in the south, but seemingly that this is our last place to try: New England. Here's where our forefathers landed for this freedom of religion on Plymouth Rock. It is from these sacred soils here that praying men and women went forth to establish this great spiritual economy that we are privileged to serve today. No American could be ashamed of their forefathers who landed in this country, went to church packing guns, who came here for freedom of religion, went on horseback, covered in old wagons, fought the Indians and so forth, to get to go to church. Those bloods bathed this soil. If we'll be sincere and believe in the God that they believed in and serve Him with the same reverence that they served Him with, we'll see a revival again. And I believe it will start in New England. God's willing to do it if we're willing to carry it.
