<TITLE>07. Par 57-63</TITLE>L-57 Now, the great missionary age, brotherly love, the age of missions... Let me just name to you some of the great men and then I--I just wrote their names down here: John Wesley; George Whitfield--Whitefield; he was about 1739; Charles G. Finney, Dwight Moody, William Carey, that great missionary that went to India in 1773, David Livingstone in South Africa. See, all those, some of those great men. Just... I got names of plenty of them here of great men that lived in that brotherly love; that the black man, the white man, the brown man, the yellow man, all the walls was broke down, and these men went out into the mission fields. Brotherly love, stretching out a hand to all nations everywhere, and it was opened up to them that they could go. Another open door age, 'cause they couldn't... Before that they couldn't have done it, the papal and--and papacy of Rome and so forth had it all so closed up till they couldn't go. But in that age the doors was opened, 'cause He said it was an open door age.

L-58 They opened up many doors during that age: the door to the Gospel, the door to the mission fields, the--the--the door back to Christ; and everything was opened up during that age. And you can see what they did, their brethren done a great job out of it.
And from John Wesley, the star after the Sardis age, after he come over waking them up from the Sardis age, for the past hundred and fifty years great missionaries (like of no other time or age before) has covered the entire earth. Think of that. Every nation under the heavens has heard the Word. It completed many, many, many years ago (See?), but not the Gospel, just the Word, "The letter killeth but the Spirit giveth Life." See?

L-60 When I stood in South Africa, there on that platform that day and seen there was thousands times thousands setting out there, Mohammedans. And I met one Mohammedan missionary. And this Mohammedan missionary said, "Oh, for that precious soul." Now, that man had been over there for years and years, and had turned one Mohammedan to Christ. Because the Mohammedans sprung from the Medes-o-Persians, as their laws does not change or neither does it alter; when they're a Mohammedan, they're a Mohammedan for all times.
So there they had that one soul this brother was talking about, standing out there at the yard of Pretoria, the capital of South Africa. That's up in the--in the free state, the free state, Orange state, and over in the Transvaal.
And we went from there, on down into Capetown and Bloemfontein, and through that way; and come back up through Grahamstown, east London, and then into--back into Johannesburg again after we left a--a Capetown, and come up the coast.

L-63 All right, the last town we went to was Durban, where we gathered most of the natives, there was a hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand natives setting out there, Mohammedans, natives, we had... They had to take for weeks across... The racetrack, far bigger than Churchill Downs, second biggest in the world; London's got the largest, South Africa, and then Churchill Downs. Then they had fences because they had tribal war, and the police (two or three hundred guards) standing out there driving each one of the tribes into the fences so they wouldn't fight one another, and disarm them, with their spears and essieguards and so forth that they packed. Setting on the ground there, one looking through the fence at the other one, tribal wars. Their chiefs, packing them on somebody, with a big fan fanning them like that, and the queen. The queen of Rhodesia come down with twenty-seven carloads, or trains, or coaches full of people from Rhodesia, to attend the meeting. And a--a special train came down.
