L-1 Lord bless you, brother. Thank you very much. I wish to say thank you, my fine brethren for this introduction. I could have no more liberty and feel I'm no more at home than if I was in my own pulpit at home. God bless you. I'm here for the purpose to put my seine in with yours to help for all we can for the Kingdom of God to catch every soul that's straying away from God. I sure thank you for that and trust that you'll be praying for me as I minister. And there's nothing any better than a good background when you're ministering to the people all in...?...

L-2 Good evening, friends. So happy to be here again tonight in this big auditorium of this livestock or exhibition place here. I think this is about my third time to be here, and each time has always proven such a blessing to be here, and to meet the people here of California.
I bring to you tonight of great wishes and blessings from the eastern brethren, and the church in the east, to say to you that they are faring well under God's great provisions, and trusting that God will give you all a great meeting while we're here together on this west coast.

L-3 I wish to thank my brethren here for this great privilege of sponsoring the meeting here, as I felt that, once more before going overseas, it would be a great privilege to me to visit my friends up and down this west coast. And we're here tonight in the Name of the Lord Jesus to minister and to do all that we can to help everybody to know Him better than what they do now. I hope that when the meeting's over I know Him a lot better than I do now, 'cause each day we're all living for that purpose: to try to--to know Him a little better.

L-4 Know a... Someone said to me not long ago... I was speaking on something (And my grammar is pretty poor anyhow.), and so I... Someone said (It was a great theologian to begin with.); he said, "You just don't know your Bible."
I said, "But I know the Author real well." So I... That's it. To know Him is Life. And if He be the Author of the Word, He will always back up His Word to be true. I believe that. And there's much that He can do, and does do, that's not written in the Bible. But as long as I see it just unfolding in the pages, I--I feel that (What would you call it?), that assurance, you know, that everything's running all right, because it just looks like it's running right through the pages. So that makes it--makes us feel better.

L-5 We are on our road now up towards Anchorage, Alaska, up the west coast, beginning here in California. Just come from Green Lake, Wisconsin, where the Full Gospel Business Men that... The last two times being here, I was with them. And we had the--the regional convention in Green... I believe it was Green Lake, Wisconsin. And then we came down to Chicago for some fellowship there with the Christians: had a wonderful time--great gathering, many people, and the Lord blessed us together on our feeble efforts of trying to minister to His people.
And then from there we went over to Southern Pines, North Carolina. I always want to call that... Southern Pines ought to be South Carolina, but it's in North Carolina. And we certainly had a time of fellowship there with the convention of the Interdenominational Brotherhood: such a wonderful time. And then, on from that down into--to South Carolina, to Columbia. And there we met the people, and knowing that we were coming here to the west coast... All that's sojourning there, as we all are pilgrims who profess this great hope that we have in Christ...
