L-1 Thank you, Brother Rich, brethren the Lord Bless you.
Good evening, friends. I deem this a great privilege to be here this afternoon in the service of the Lord God. And these three days has meant much to me to come around meeting old friends and finding new ones. That's the way that life moves on for us. It's just meeting new ones and--and enjoying the friendship of old friends.
And then, down through Grande Prairie and also up here, I have found a real reverence amongst the people and an anticipation for revival. That's what you need, is a real spiritual revival, pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon the people.

L-2 And then I got to meet some of my old friends, Chris Berg, he's here somewhere. And (or usually is) and I was expecting to meet Milo... Yes, Brother Durney, glad to see you setting in here, very fine. I...
Mr. Durney was my guide the last time, when we went on a hunting. My friends here remember many times us talking of it. I hear you've had a little siege of sickness since then. Well, the Lord that I was talking about there, is still the same God, the great Healer. How's Della? Doing all right? That's fine.
Mr. Durney was really a little piece of iron; I'll tell you. When he was about seventy years old, I suppose, when I was up here, and he was really... I was surprised to see the real strength in--in that man at that age. He... Anywhere Chris and I could go, he was right there ahead of us. And I've...

L-3 A man cannot live out at place like that without knowing God. So I couldn't stand--look up in the mountains without seeing the face of God somewhere. And I've often prayed for my friend, Chris, Mr. Durney, and them.
Someday when life is all finished, along the game trails up there in the ever-ending forest, I hope to meet you brethren up there, renew our friendship. You'll find me along some of the game trails up there. I'll be looking around. I'll meet all you, my hunter friends and trapper friends, up there someday. Until then, we want to stay in the harness for our Lord.

L-4 I was on my road going... had a little vacation coming, which it's been six months in the field. And it sure has worn me out. And I thought I'd take a little vacation and come up north here and see if I could catch one of those grayling, you brethren were talking about, and--and maybe see a bear along the road.
So I rode up, and they got the arrangements made with your pastor. And Lord willing, this afternoon or early in the morning, one, we're going off for a few days of rest out in the wilderness: to try to return again into the field of the Lord.
I thought it wouldn't be nice, even though being tired and weary from six months straight in the fields (and my work is international, as you know, worldwide)... And I thought it would be fine if I come by and visit my friends here in Dawson Creek and Grande Prairie. And I want to thank the Lord for what great fellowship we've had together. With the pastors and the men with like precious faith, in one accord, and all loving the Lord, and many of you people.

L-5 Billy was telling me when I come in, that they give him a love offering this afternoon. I believe that was right. I certainly didn't a--want you to do that, my brother, sister. I never... I come just to visit with you. And I appreciate it though.
And one time... I was thinking the other day, they gave me one (if some of you Grande Prairie people are here)... I didn't even know it was done until Mr. Sothmann told me on the road home. And I didn't even have a chance to--to thank the precious people.
Well, to the best of my knowledge, to the Kingdom of God it'll go, For the best that I know how. Thank you very kindly.
And I believe it's written in the Bible, Jesus said, "In so much as you have done unto the least of these My little ones, you have done it unto Me." I'm that one--the least.
