<TITLE>03. Par 11-14</TITLE>L-11 And so, it just made a great rumor through the neighborhood. And as it was in the Bible times, it was spread abroad everywhere, the love and fame of our Lord Jesus, how He still can heal the sick. Regardless of what it is, He still can heal it. It... He's...
He has... The power has been deposited in the box, and He's given us each a key. That's His Name. And if we're not afraid to sign it, why, He will certainly endor--He will certainly make the check good when it arrives there if it's got His Name behind it. "Ask the Father anything in My Name, I'll do it," He said. And I believe that. Whatever you ask in His Name, believing you receive it, you shall do it.

L-12 Now, I think tomorrow morning is the ministerial breakfast, I think. I'm always happy for those, to get to meet my brethren. I'm looking forward to seeing you brethren tomorrow morning at the breakfast.
And I suppose that the Business Men here may have the--the Saturday morning, if... That's official now? Saturday morning, at Clifton's. Well, I'll get some more of that good porridge they have down there then. That's really good. I--I like that. So we'll be looking for--up there, to see you up there.

L-13 Now, been... a lot of water has went over the dam since the (That's a southern expression.), since we met before. Come pretty near getting killed recently by a gun exploding. You can see it across my face, and... But the Lord spared my life, and I--I'm thankful to be here.
I was shooting a gun that had been rebored by Mr. Weatherby up here, and had been give to me as all right. And I'd shot it a couple of times, and noticed the swelling around the ring, and put another shell in. And they don't know yet what happened. The gun exploded, and blowed the barrel fifty yards ahead of me, and blowed the pieces of the gun through the trees. And all I seen was just red fire fly up.
And when they... They thought I'd... 'Course, pieces stuck into my skull. Just fifteen pieces went just below the sight in my eye. And one went through here and knocked the top of the tooth off, and cut me through the face. And when they... I didn't know where I was at for a few minutes, of course, and I couldn't see nor... Just like you threw hamburger in my face about four weeks ago.
I'd pull this eye up, and I see--look around, and I seen the man that had went down there with me to the range, where I shoot this target shooting. He was going out to the target. And I couldn't hear, couldn't speak, couldn't hear or see. And finally I got his attention. He come up there, and I stopped the blood with my hand. And we prayed, and the blood all stopped. And I was soaked all over and...

L-14 They taken me over to the doctor, and he said, "Oh, my." (I forget how many tons of pressure they say that gun would stand.) Said, "When the man come up and found you, he should have just found a leg down here, and no head or shoulders. The burst that steel that should blowed the whole body up." And it was just that close to my eye when it went off. So I'm thankful to be here, very grateful.
The--the physician that looked at the place, he said, "Well, there's only one..." Said, "There's nothing could be done," he said, "because the steel went all the way back in the eye." And said, "It never touched the sight." And said, "The only thing that I know that--can say, the good Lord must have been setting on the bench to protect His servant that morning, or he wouldn't have had..."
So I feel that--that He kept me here to minister to you, and to help you, and you help me, and we're all here together to help each other.
