L-1 Thank you very much. I'm so happy to be back in the Name of the Lord. And just a little hoarse to start with, but the Lord lets me get in second gear after while. So I been speaking much this week at the meetings. And they've been a lot of questions to be answered. And then go out of the building hot. And it... I have no bad cold; and I never felt any better in my life. So I just feel fine, but my throat's just overtaxed. And it'll be all right. So I'm--want to thank each and every one of you for all that you have done.
And I tried to find, as I drove up a few minutes ago (Billy and some of them was on the outside.)--trying to find the little family that had come down, and gotten broke, and couldn't go back. If they're still in the building I wish some--they'd hold up their hand or something. I--I wanted something on that myself. And so the little family that's from Michigan or somewhere, that run out of gasoline, or something, or money, if you're--you're still here in the town... If you see them after the meeting, pass them by my house. See? I want something in that. That's--that's what--that's what we're here for, is to give a helping hand, anybody that we can. So now, the Lord Jesus bless us is our prayer.

L-3 Now, this has been a unusual week, and we've had some unusual things. But I'll say that I have never seen a time that the Holy Spirit ever moved any freer than It has this week in this service. Been just perfectly wonderful to me. And at nighttime when I'd go in, sometimes it's 1 o'clock in the morning before I can go to sleep. I just rejoice in the thoughts of the Lord Jesus being so good to us.
And now, I... Any of you people that's around here in the city or neighborhooding around that doesn't have a home yet (church home), you're welcome here to come any time and make this your home. Remember, we don't have no membership here, just fellowship for all. We don't--have as Howard Cadle used to say, "No law but love, no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible"... And so you're always welcome at the--this little tabernacle, which we're expecting, if the Lord willing, soon as we can, to build a better church, more--more substantial place. Not too big, for we believe Jesus is coming soon, and we don't want no too elaborate thing; we just want something... This one's about to fall in. It's served its purpose, and we're very thankful for it.

L-4 I'll never forget, right where this pulpit stands now, about twenty something years ago, I knelt in an old pond and the horse weeds over my head, and the Lord said, "Build your church here." On a little lot, that we went to the Ingram's and got it for a hundred and sixty dollars if we'd fill it up. This was a ice pond where we all skated.
Brother Jess Spencer ought to remember when this was a pond in here, him and Sister Spencer; I guess you remember it. They used to bring the teams up and drive way around this way to keep from getting into the pond. I was a little boy over here at Ingramville School. This was a pond. Get out here and ice skate and--and play "shinny" and everything else on the pond. Brother Mike, you remember when this was a pond. Yes, sir. And Brother Roy, back there... And now, where the pond stood... We just got part of it left, and that's right behind here. That's where we baptize the people into the water for remissions of their sins.
