L-1 It's certainly good to be back again tonight out here at this Chautauqua, and to be back with the victory in my heart of the Lord Jesus.
Just a little tired, I haven't slept since night before last. I went home, picked up my family. My old ford backslid. Or it never backslid; it's just wore out. And so I had to take it in the garage down there, and then get up here, and it's in the garage now. So it's a... It's--it's just about gone. So, we are very glad to be here.
And now, we got two more great nights, Friday and Saturday. And we're expecting our Lord to do great things in these nights. And we just don't know what lays ahead yet tonight. I like that, because you can be expecting just anything to happen. We don't know just what time that God might just come into us here and--and just give us another Pentecost. That's what we need. And I would be so happy to be right in it with you, to enjoy the fellowship, freshness of the Holy Spirit. And I tell you, our lands really need it.

L-2 We just had a case down home. This... I looked in the paper this morning of a woman that shot a man to death right in the back, and was freed in the courts. Said she went blind when she was shooting. The opposite attorney said, "You sure are a good shot when you're blind."
But it just goes to show what money can do to pull a case over. Murder seems to be a very light thing. And crime is on the increase.
'Course, you all are seeing in the papers of these rock-and-rollers and what happened, and down here in this park and what happened. And wasn't enough evidence there, because some judges' and mayors' daughters was in that. So, they didn't have enough evidence of a hundred people to press charges.

L-3 Brother, all things are wrong except God. There's only one thing that's left that's right, and that's God. Only one justice, and that's God. But there is coming a day that when the righteous Judge will give righteous judgment, and the world will be judged by Him, Jesus Christ. We're so glad to know that, that no matter what takes place here, there's coming a day. So, we're looking forward to that day, and pressing on towards the mark of the high calling in Christ, expecting any time for Him to come.
You know, I don't see many things left but what will--would hinder Him from coming to fulfill all the prophesies concerning His return. Brother Sullivan, could you say "Amen" to that? [Brother Sullivan says, "Yes, sir"--Ed.] I believe that. I am too, brother. That just any time, He could return.

L-4 You know, I think that our meetings are most surely too short. When the people are gathered together, would it not be nice now if we didn't--if we had about three or four weeks of this where we could have afternoon instruction services, and preach on the second coming, and lay the Scriptures out, and talk of Them. And have a ministerial meeting every morning at ten o'clock where ministers would get together in fellowship? Oh, if God willing, I can just feel it in the wind. I'm going to have me a big tent one of these days, so we can pitch it somewhere and stay for four to six weeks at a staying. And then... We believe then if something... After the people's prayed for...
Many times, peoples doesn't understand how to take a hold of healing. In little short meetings like this, you can't instruct them. You've got sinners there, so you have to preach the Word, got to make altar calls. You have to think about the anointing of the Holy Spirit under discernment. And all these things, and just a night or two to do it in.
