L-1 God bless you, brother. It's so nice to get to come to the house of the Lord. I think that I was studying some Scripture some time ago, and It said that when Jesus drew near unto Jerusalem, that the disciples lifted up their eyes and they saw the holy city in the distance. And they begin to rejoice, and to say that... "Now will the kingdom be restored?"
And this certain man that was telling, or talking about a recent visit to Palestine... And he said that people now, in the last year has been coming to a place, that when they come up from the valley and look around the bend, the same road that Jesus and the disciples were on at that time, that when they see the city, they start to weep.
You know, I believe there was something those disciples in those days felt that--that the Kingdom would be restored again. And now it's almost time.
I believe that's the feeling that's on the people that the Kingdom is almost ready to be restored again.

L-2 Brother Neville, our gracious and blessed pastor, has just spoke to me about an oncoming revival effort here at the Tabernacle in a few nights, to be praying about it. And I told him, I thought it would be a blessed thing. You just can't have too many revivals. And many times, we get the wrong opinion of a revival. A revival isn't so much as to bring in new members, but it's to revive that which we already have.
And I'm... I like to say this, because I say it from the depths of my heart. That I begin to find a different feeling around the Tabernacle, than what has been for a long time, a feeling of--of a deep spiritual sense, like that it used to be long time ago. That something that settles, and it's got a real foundation. And I trust that God will bless this little church. And [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] again in His power. And I see the building program going on, and I think that's a great thing. For sooner or later, we older people are going to take off the armor, and hand it back into the hands of our children, and walk up that golden stairway.
The other day, I passed that halfway mark now of fifty years old. I just can't realize that. It don't seem like it's been no time since I was hauling groceries for Chris Misner, about eighteen--sixteen, eighteen years old. It just went somewhere. It just goes to show, that here we have no continuing city, but we're seeking one to come. And that's the City where God is Builder, and there will never be no end there.

L-3 This morning as I was speaking on the subject of Mother's Day, and trying to place mother, not as she really is in the old age with the wrinkles, and on as her crutches are an old wheelchair, or arm chair, and a little pot of flowers setting by her, but mother in the resurrection, restored back to her youth, and standing shining as a queen.
That's the way I like to think of my mother. I don't like to think of her as she is today--old. I like to think of what's coming. And I know you feel that way about your mothers. Think of her as she really is in her heart. Though many... As this poet says, "Life has not been easy for her, but she'd live it all over again, just to do something for you." So God's going to make it a way so she can live forever with you. So, I'm glad of that.
