L-1 To the almighty God be thanks and praise forevermore... To this fine group of ministers that has worked in this campaign, I want to express my thanks to them for one of the finest bunch of men that I ever worked with in my life. For the nice little organist here and the pianist, to all you dear people, the ushers, one hundred percent some of the finest people... To this school for letting us have the places for the worship. And to all that has been done, I just don't know how to express myself in gratitude for this meeting. I'm praying that the results from this will never die, but will live on and on.
I am sorry I didn't have more time to meet with these men, be at their churches, and so forth. They were just quoting to me a few moments ago of young people coming to Christ this morning, the power of God in their meetings. I trust that'll never die but will continue on forever until Jesus comes.
Many fine friends that I have met since I've been here, your memories will linger--linger on in my heart. Cooperation... Hard, bitter preaching sometime I have to do. I'm not a--I don't claim to be a what we call a preacher; I am... You know that already... But I--I claim that just knowing the Lord as my Saviour, so enthused with trying to--to do that which He has ordained to be done... And through this He has given me the opportunity by a gift to express to the people that... Where I don't have the education to do it, maybe the works will express that I--I am His servant, and--and you are my brother and sister, and that will do the vindication of it. And maybe that'll let you know that I love you, God loves you; and together we hope to spend a endless eternity together in a land beyond the river somewhere on.

L-2 Next week, next Sunday, beginning a week from this Sunday, as I made the little rude expression, I'm going to begin in your suburbs now, next week from this coming Sunday. That's Chicago (See?), up here, suburbans of this city. And... So we... I don't know just where it's at; it's--it's Mister... I can never call that Italian name, Potaski... Huh? What? Potaski. Has he announced where those services will be held in Chicago? It's already been announced from the platform. I don't even know myself where they're at. And so we'll find that some way. I--I get there and call Brother Carlson, somebody and find out where I'm suppose to be. And so we expecting great things in Chicago next week. We would be happy for you to be our--be our guest there in Chicago, or any other meeting than we could ever be at.

L-3 Now, I want... One time I said the nights would never get too dark, or the rain would never fall too hard, but I would come to you to help you to anything that I could pertaining to the Kingdom of God, or any other thing I could help you. If I had a little money, and if I--and you needed it, it'd be yours. That's right. I'd do that. Anyone who knows my life and my family, it was the same way. My poor old father has gone on today; he didn't live the right life on earth. He had one bad habit: drinking. But if he met a man on the street, a perfect stranger, and the man was hungry and he had one biscuit, he'd break it in two with him. We believe in helping those who are needy, and help.
