L-1-1 ... Neville... It's a... Sorry to keep you standing up along the walls. And I passed by here on another appointment about a hour and a half ago, and the people were turning away from the doors, going away. I met Billy out there, and he said the place had been ready for the services to start since this afternoon. So I... We just have this little meeting here. We never even put it in the local papers.
So we just have a little time of fellowship, and now it's always busy as the out-of-town people would know that here at the home place it's always on the jump, running from place to place, and squeezing... So I'm kinda getting used to it. I just get to a place till I don't let it bother me--as much as possible.

L-1-3 And you know, you have to spend just a little bit of time (and should be more) with the Lord. If you don't do that, then you don't come into the meeting with the freshness of the Holy Spirit. And when you come in (like today has been) where it's been just one great, great glamor, well... It's kind of hard sometime for me to come in, to keep from being just a little pinched and pushing (You see?), and get myself upset. When I do that, then I just can't find the Holy Spirit anywhere in it.

L-1-4 So I feel sorry, though, for people who stand in--in the aisles and around the outside; and they come up and look in, get in their car, go back away.
I wanted to get the high school down here to hold just a few nights' meeting, but the school's going on at this time, and it's kinda hard for me to get it during that time.

L-1-6 But I want to say that I certainly do appreciate every one of you, inside and out, and for your fine cooperation, and for all that you have done. And this morning in the Sunday school, I thanked the people for the offering that was give to me last night, which was an unsolicited offering. Frankly, I told the pastor here (our beloved pastor, Brother Neville) and them, I'd rather they would not do that, but they did it anyhow, so I just wanted to report on it.
Now, this is a small place, and it won't seat over about three hundred people, I don't think, and the offering was $324.00, which means that they averaged about one dollar apiece. That's the best offering I ever had given me in my life for the amount of people. The... Usually it'll average about twenty-four cents a person. Twenty-five, twenty-seven cents is a great offering to a person, but this averaged around a dollar apiece, and I certainly do appreciate that.

L-2-2 And maybe I didn't get, this morning, to express to some of you. We found jelly (box of jelly) setting on the steps, and little presents that's been sent in to us. The wife and I wish to express our thankfulness to you people. I'm sure that the best that we know how, all of it be for the Kingdom of God.
And it makes me just feel like I wished I had a great big place where we could just continue to go on for a long time and minister to the people, but even tonight after the service, I'm supposed to go (which I won't be able to leave tonight, but early in the morning), to go away. I get back next Saturday night and leave Sunday morning again for Colorado. And it's just one right after the other, going. And then my next overseas meeting comes in January, which is in Australia and New Zealand and through there. Now, I want you to pray for me. I certainly do desire your prayers.
