<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>62-0521, Convinced And Then Concerned, Stephen Mather High School, Chicago, IL, 78 min
L-1 Thank you very much, Brother Carlson. You may be seated. So many--so many things to be said, and it's getting late. But I'm certainly happy to be here tonight in Chicago, and thank Brother Carlson, and Brother Boze for their kindness, and all the others, for inviting me here tonight to speak at this luncheon, or dinner for Brother Boze's going away in the mission fields. And I know what he goes through with there, because I missionary also; and was setting here with our brother from South Africa that was in our meetings there in--when we was last time in South Africa.
And as the precious doctor friend come up here and led that prayer for us, how, that... We all know what the feel of the jungle is when they get in there, and I think it's a worthy thing. You know, the--that we have churches on every corner, and hear the Gospel any way we want to hear it; those people there has never heard the Name of Jesus, many times.

L-2 So I'm fixing to go back again. I've never been satisfied at home, and I don't believe I can never be satisfied 'till I get back in the field again over there. And so, pray for me, and... About doors closing for me, I expect that, so I can... Thank you. If you keep praying for me. Just to pray that I'll--that I'll stay in the will of God. That's the main thing.
And now... And pray for brethren too. That's all right. If they don't see it, why... (I better turn on this side over here, if it'd be--be better.)
If someone can't see those things, why, we can't blame them. That's all right. If I couldn't see anything, 'course I wouldn't say anything about it. I'd just go ahead. First thing, I'd--I'd set down and look it up in the Scriptures and see if it was the Bible first, because that's where all truth comes from: the Bible.

L-3 Now, our oncoming services, if there happens to be someone here, we're going to South Carolina--North Carolina from here, then South Carolina; then to California, and Canada, and Alaska; then come back, and hope to go overseas from then on for a while.
Now, tonight I had several things here I wanted to speak on, but it's late. I'm not going to speak any longer than two o'clock. (I was just joking.) I will read some Scripture here, on some notes or comments and Scriptures I have written down, and just pass a few comments. And then we will--we will turn this service back to the brethren. Now, you will be praying for me, I'm--I'm sure. I depend on that, that you--that you pray for me.

L-4 Now, in the Gospel of Saint John, the 1st chapter, 35th verse, I want to read down to the 41st verse.
And again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
And looked upon Jesus as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of God!
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and said unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to... be interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
He said unto them, Come and see. And they came and seen where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
And one of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
And he first found his own brother Simon, and said unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.

L-5 Now, I want to thank you all for this present here, that I haven't yet opened. And--and--and then the other night Brother Carlson just went a little against my thoughts when he took an offering and turned it over to me. And I found a good place tonight for it. So thank you very kindly. I sure appreciate that. And I know that after it's come from your hands to mine, I have to be the steward of this welfare of God of this money. And I want to place it to the best place that I know, where something's being done for the Kingdom of God. Let's bow our heads just a moment.
