<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 A used Ford about six or seven years old in Finland, would sell for around two thousand five hundred dollars, maybe three thousand. And gasoline is ninety-five cents a gallon. So where there was at least twenty-five, thirty-five thousand people, you'd see about two or three automobiles. And up in there, they--they ride a little sled like--like a travois, an Indian wears--rides, and... Used to--to travel by travois, and they had a caribou that hauled them on the travois. And then down at the...
I'd been up in a car at the top of the hill, and down was Kuopio, Finland, the... I was there during the time about May; the sun is only out one day in a year there, just one day. Six months the sun's up; six months it's down. And this was just when the sun just skirting the edge of the horizon. At midnight, we could just--nice and light as it is in here, read a newspaper at midnight. Then it comes back up again. And you just go to sleep when you get sleepy; that's about the way you manage your day while the sun's up. And then it's down for a year... for six months. Then... That's up in the Laplands.

L-6 And coming down off of the mountain where we'd been singing, there's been a--a drunken Englishman up there. He didn't know what was...?... He was a lumber buyer from England, and he wanted to know what that singing was about. And he was about as bad off as me; I... When you can speak Finnish, you're pretty good, because I think they got about fifty or sixty letters in the alphabet, and so they... They're very sweet people, some of the nicest people I ever met in my life. And they was very lovely people.
So then, while I was up there, this Englishman was going on. And I told him it was a religious meeting. I asked him if he knew the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour. He said no, he never learned about no religion. So there I had the privilege of seeing the Lord Jesus sober that man and gave him salvation to his soul--kneeling down out there in that mud and muck out there in the yard of where this big tower... It's kind of a watchtower, an old ancient watchtower. And we were up there praising God from on high.

L-7 And they'd tell me how the Russians would come in during the time of the war and drop the bombs on the city, and... come over that tower. And then we could look right over across the Iron Curtain into Russia, about two mile away.
Coming down from the... We'd gathered together to have prayer after they'd seen this Englishman. I'd went down and just walking around at the bottom of the tower, and Brother Jack Moore was with me, and this Englishman had just come to Christ. They all came down, and something come over me real strange. When they took a picture of it... (I have it at home.)
I said, "Remember, something's fixing to happen; I just feel it. Something's going to take place. I don't know what."
So they begin to ask, "What will it be?"
I said, "I don't know. It's just something's fixing to take place."

L-8 About a mile down the hill, we seen where there'd been about a five or six year old American made Ford... Some of the people that was up on the hill at the tower had went down, and some little school children was coming from the school. And they... their parents... They live in the city, something like Germany. They live in the city, and they farm out in the country, and they come back into the city.
Two little boys, one about nine years old, and one about (Oh, I'd say) about six years old. They was crossing the road, and this car coming fast, and no cars hardly there. They wasn't expecting a car. And the little fellows holding one another's hands, and they seen the car whirl into sight; and one started one way and one the other. And they was holding each other's hand. Finally, they let loose of each other's hand, and the man driver got excited, and didn't know which way to go, because the children was jerking both ways, lost control of the car.
