<TITLE>02. Par 7-11</TITLE>L-7 Now, you know, just 'fore coming in I took a little walk about a hundred yards out and around. And you know, this makes me think about having a convention myself next year and bringing it up here, and see if we could rent these grounds, and everybody just stay around, and have about a week up here, just praying for the sick, bringing in the sick and afflicted. That would be very fine. We'll pray over that and see what the Lord has to say about that. I like to do just as He tells me, you know, and then I feel good about it.

L-8 I'm sure it'd be all right if I, in among the brethren here, kinda announce some of my following meetings. I guess that would be all right. I know... I don't suppose it'd hurt anything. And tomorrow we're to be here, and tomorrow night at the banquet, the Lord willing. And then Sunday afternoon we're at the... I can't call the name of that... Mather, or Mayther, or Mather High School Auditorium in Chicago, where I was at the last convention. We had such a glorious time. And then Monday night at, I believe it's the Mather also for a kind of a missionary rally, or a little farewell party for my precious Brother Joseph Boze who we've been associated together so long. So good to see Brother Boze, and Brother Carlson, and, oh, Brother Sonmore. So many here tonight; I look around and see their faces and I'm so happy for this.

L-9 Then going home to go on to the convention at Southern Pines, South Carolina, 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th of June, with "The Midnight Cry" paper. And then on down to another Presbyterian, Brother Bigby. He was the one who wrote that article, "A Presbyterian Doctor Meets Pentecostal Prophet," or some such a remark. And I'm to be with him down at Columbia, South Carolina. And then on over to the South Gate, the Cow Palace, where we've had a lot of conventions there with the Business Men. Then from there I think up to, I believe it's Santa Monica or somewhere up there, on up in California, in Grass Valley, on up then to, I believe it's Spokane. From there back to... down into Oregon, Salem, Oregon, and then on over into British Columbia and up to Anchorage, Alaska, to organize a chapter for the Business Men there as soon as the revival's over. And then try to get back home in time to get the winter in for overseas.

L-10 I have kinda listened and watched my Pentecostal brethren as they have predicted a sweeping revival coming. And we all know that the revival that we've just went through has ceased. But there must be coming something else that's glorious and great. And so I've been studying hard to find these places in the Scripture. I think that if our--our revelation must be Scriptural, and then we know it's right. If it's a Scripture, it's from the Lord. And I'm beginning to believe that that's right, that there's coming a ripening time for the evening fruits.

L-11 I preached the other day on "The--The Bride Tree," on Easter morning, how that Christ was that Tree that was perfect. David saw it and said, "It's standing by the rivers of water." And then how Rome cut that tree down, and--perfect tree bearing perfect fruits of God, and hung it onto a man-made tree. But God raised it up on the third day. And then there come a Bride Tree coming forth, bringing forth its fruits. And in come the enemy again and cut it down through the dark ages. But "I will restore," saith the Lord.
How that the Lutherans raised up and denominated, and the vine was pruned. Up come the Methodists, denominated; the vine was pruned. Up come the Pentecostal denomination; vine was pruned. But the fruit ripens in the top of the tree when the evening lights come out. We're near the road. So we're expecting great things in the future.
I've just had an accident as you know, and almost blowed both eyes out. And I'm so thankful to--to be here tonight that I can see.
