<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>61-0219, The Queen Of Sheba, Long Beach Municipal Auditorium, Long Beach, CA, 115 min
L-1 Let's just remain standing a moment while we pray. Let's bow our heads.
Our Gracious heavenly Father, we thank Thee for this grand privilege of approaching Thy throne of mercy again tonight, in the all sufficient Name of Jesus Thy Son. We thank Thee because that we have the perfect assurance that if we ask anything in His Name, it'll be granted. So there are many here tonight who are needy; they're sick in body. Some of them are sick in soul. And we pray, Father, that You will supply everything that they have need of, salvation for their soul above all things, and healing for the sick, joy for those that are sorrowing, hope for those who are hopeless. Grant it, Lord. And when the service shall end tonight and we go to our different homes, places of abode, may we say like those who came from Emmaus that day, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He talked to us along the way." For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-2 Such a privilege to be back here again tonight in this Long Beach Municipal Auditorium. Been several years since I was here, about '46 or '47, somewhere like that. I believe I followed the service of a great servant of the Lord, Doctor Charles Fuller, used to have the "Old-Fashion Revival Hour," used to start and was created here, great servant of the Lord. I hear now that he doesn't have his services here any more. I always wanted to meet Brother Fuller; I never had that grand privilege.

L-3 I remember coming into South Africa about seven or eight years ago, the audience of about two hundred and fifty thousand people. You... Some of you Long Beach people you'd never guess what they greeted me with when I come on the platform. They sang it in about fifteen different languages, all blending together, "Heavenly Sunshine." They were singing "Heavenly Sunshine" which I believe was Doctor Fuller's theme song. And I always thought if I got to meet him, I would like to tell him that, that his messages had got down into the--way down into South Africa. And those precious people loved him and knew him, me being an American, sang "Heavenly Sunshine," or "Sunlight" ever which way it goes. And they were singing it in fifteen different languages all together. Now, you never... But all blending just perfectly, the Holy Spirit... When people get together and the love of God starts moving upon them, there's no friction. It's just all one great big body moving together.
Doctor F. F. Bosworth, which is one of the managers, he just stood--he led symphony, he was taking the Dowie, seventy-five piece band to Madison Square Garden in the days of Doctor Alexander Dowie. And he said he had trained the choir. And you'd get somebody a few octaves, or ever what you call it, high, and some too low. But said, in those raw heathens, blanket natives, didn't know which was right nor left hand, and them at war with one another, had to separate them in tribes, yet they were not one octave out at all, everyone blending right together in "Heavenly Sunshine." Anybody knows Brother Fuller, tell him that for me. I don't guess I'll--may never get to see him. He's a busy man, I don't like to take the time. But it would certainly thrill him.
