<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>61-0428, Getting In The Spirit, Stephen Mather High School, Chicago, IL, 114 min
L-1 Strange, I was standing here talking about Brother David, I believe last night, and here he is appearing on the platform tonight. Well, that's mighty fine.
(Brother David, we're happy to have you here in Chicago, and it's nice to have you brethren behind me here tonight. And to know the support in prayer now...?... message of the Lord. Be instant in prayer for me.)
It's nice to be out again tonight here in the auditorium, so beautifully seated out, with the people. And under expectations of seeing the working and of--of the Holy Spirit, to come among us again tonight.
We have certainly enjoyed every hour of this service, being here. There's... Since last Sunday evening, or last Sunday afternoon rather... We had such a wonderful, marvelous time, and the Holy Spirit has did great things in our midst. We have seen Him heal the sick, and do miracles, and save the people, and fill them with the Holy Spirit, and just great things. What more could we ask of Him than that? And what we have seen Him do.

L-2 I'm so glad to know that we're living in the last day, and as ministers of the Gospel, we have the privilege of speaking, I believe, to the Elect of God in the last days. And what a privilege this is for we ministers to have this privilege of setting on earth here today. And speaking to the last church age, the last Church.
I believe that, truly, with all my heart. That we are speaking now to the last church age. That will finally wind up in the Laodicea Church and then we'll... Jesus will come and it'll all be over. And I'll be glad when that happens.
I feel like John of old. "Even so, come Lord Jesus." said, "Even so." I've just about seen enough of it. I was going around, and look like instead of getting better, why, the world gets more wicked all the time. So I--I think like John said, "Even so, come Lord Jesus." Then it will all be over.

L-3 And I'm... See they still have this little book laying here of the printed vision. And every time I think of that, my heart burns to just get further into the meeting. Do something right away, because it's--won't be long till perhaps we won't have time to do anything. So we want to do it now while we can do it. And may the Lord add His blessings tonight again.
Now, tomorrow morning is the Businessmen's breakfast, I believe right here on the grounds. I believe they... It's already been announced. That there will be a Businessmen's breakfast tomorrow. And I think the public is invited to this. As long as you come, why, we will be very happy.
And it falls my lot in the morning, if it be pleasing to God, to--to speak: one of the speakers at least, at the breakfast. And I trust that the Lord will meet with all of us, and if you've never been to one of these breakfasts... Some of you businessmen here, of the city, it would certainly do you good to come and hear what God has did for other businessmen.

L-4 Now, you may be a prosperous man, as far as the--as your business is concerned. But we're not trying to introduce something to you to make you a better--or--or make your business better. We're trying to introduce something to you that'll make you better. That's--that's Christ (see?), the Christ.
As I said the other night, the Church long lost its program when it tried to compare with the world, with education and with frolic, and with the entertainment and so forth. We--we'll never compare with them. The children of the night is smarter than the children of the day. They--they're wiser. Jesus said so.
And we could never give them the entertainment, and--and after all, the Gospel is not a glare, it's a glow. See? It's a glow: soft and sweet. And we--there's just one thing we have that the world does not have, and cannot have unless they become one of us; We have Jesus. That's it. We have Jesus.
