<TITLE>04. Par 13-17</TITLE>L-13 Therefore, knowing that each day troubles and things that besets us, that might not even be noticed in our own thinking... But when we come to think of a holy God, Who even Angels are dirty in His sight, then we know, Lord, that we have not even a chance unless we come through the Blood of Jesus Christ and then we are children of God. Our mistakes are overlooked as we confess them.
And I pray tonight, Father, that You will bless this congregation that lifted up their hands. You know what was behind each one of those hands: the thought, the desire, and the motive and objective for raising it. I pray that You will grant each one their request.

L-14 And now, Father, we pray for this church. We're so happy that this place... When we read back in the early days, where the Christians were so hated that they could not even have a church, that they were so poor they couldn't have built one if they did have it, and to see that--or had the opportunity to... And now, today, to see great fine structures going up, clean, where people are--can come in and worship God, we're so thankful for this; and for the sacrifice that people, with their tithings and offerings and--and contribution, has built this house for the Lord.

L-15 Now, Father God, I pray that You'll bless its pastor, its deacons, its trustees, and every member that comes here. May it grow, and grow, and grow. And may from this church start an old fashion revival that'll sweep the valley through and through. May there be signs and wonders come from this church, of healing, salvation. May it be a lighthouse to all the nation. Grant it, Lord.
And may from this place go fine preachers, young men, the call of God in their life to go to the mission fields, wherever they'll be called. Grant it, Lord.
And tonight while we're assembled together, may the Holy Spirit come, get into the Word, and just plant the seed in every heart that's in here. May we with faith water it day and night, until it's growed into great trees for the glory of God.
Heal every sick person, Lord, that's here tonight. Save every lost person; bring back all the backsliders, and renew and refill those who have been filled before. Grant it, Lord, for we ask this in the Name of Jesus Christ, Thy Child. Amen.

L-16 Now, I am just a little late as usual. It was a little farther out here tonight than I was expecting it to be. And so we are... tomorrow night at some place. I guess they've already announced it. And now, if you have church at your own church here tomorrow night, don't come down. But if you don't have church, we'd be glad to have you. We always want the people to stay at their post of duty, regardless. When the church is open, every soldier ought to be in his rank and in his place.

L-17 And so, we're here visiting and having a great time, just prior the--the Business Men's convention. And as I have already announced, Brother Roberts is to be here to open the service for Thursday night. We'll be very happy to meet Brother Roberts. And then I think, maybe Friday, Brother Velmer Gardner is going to be here. Don't know whether he will be speaking that night or not.
And I think it's allotted to me to be there on Saturday morning at the breakfast. And if it's God's will, and for me to speak Saturday morning, I want to take the text (if it be--if it's God's will) "The Meanest Man I Ever Met." So... And--and then Sunday afternoon, I'm to speak again.
