L-1 ...Much Brother Herman...?... Good evening, friends. It's another privilege to be here tonight in the service of the Lord, to try to do what we can to help the people to know the Lord Jesus better. We've been having a great time this week. If there's some newcomers tonight, we are having just an old fashion revival. When I see people walk down the aisle here to accept Christ as their Saviour, and go in to seek, and to ask God for deeper walks with Him, and to receive the Holy Spirit, that means that there is a revival in the making. So we're thankful, very, very, thankful for that. And I'm trusting that the Lord Jesus will bless us tonight exceedingly.
And now, I want you to remember tomorrow morning's breakfast. I think it's been taken off just for ministers and their wives, but it's "whosoever will," and somewhere here on the grounds of the school where the breakfast will be... And then immediately after breakfast I want to--to speak, address the--the group that's there the--on an evangelistic message. And I would certainly be glad if you could find time in your schedule, being it's Saturday, if you could just drop in for a few moments and have breakfast with us and listen to the message.

L-2 And then--then Saturday night, tomorrow night, at the regular time, seven-thirty, I think, is the beginning of the regular service again tomorrow night. And then Sunday afternoon at two o'clock we're anticipating another great rally of praying for the sick, on Sunday afternoon--the leaving, when before we leave the city. Thank you for your invitation back, and I trust if it be the will of the Lord I get to come back with you again sometime in a glorious time.
Now, I don't want to take too much time tonight. I say that each night. We leave about ten o'clock, or ten-thirty, or somewhere like that, but you're such a nice audience to talk to. Now, I want, because that tonight we're going to pray for the sick... 'Course each night we have prayed for the sick, think, each night. And now, that we might get a good clear understanding in everyone, and I'm... I will ask if you'll be just as reverent, and give me your undivided attention. Because sitting here and out in the audience is people that are here, and if they do not get help from God they're going to be leaving us right away.

L-3 Now, what if this was your mother laying on this stretcher? What if this was your father setting in this wheelchair? What if that was your child laying there?
You see, you might not believe in Divine healing, but you've never been sick enough yet. You've never had the doctor to shake his head and say, "Take God next. I've done all I can do." You'll believe in Divine healing then. So you remember there's something written in the Scripture, if you would spurn Him in the days of your health like this, and when your calamity comes, He said, "I will only laugh at you." So it's best to know Him now while you're healthy and mentally right, and can walk up to Him, and accept Him, and believe His Word, and express yourself to Him. It's best to know Him now, that when the hour of trouble comes... He's a very present help in the time of trouble.
