<TITLE>04. Par 12-14</TITLE>L-12 Durban, South Africa recently, I had a meeting there where we had around close to, I guess, two hundred thousand people at one meeting at the Durban race track. I seen Him take a boy there on the platform, one day (about the second day of the service), and straighten that boy. I never seen any... I just dropped back and looked. He wasn't even mentally right. He raised up like that, and the tears dropping off on his naked belly.
And the next morning the mayor of Durban, Sidney Smith, called me. He said, "Go to your window. Look out towards the seashore." Now, we had many tribes, and we had to fence them off across the race track, because they had tribal war among one another. And when I got through with that... About five people is all that got to the platform. And I seen thirty thousand blanket natives receive Christ as their Saviour at one time: thirty thousand. They recorded that many. Seen them break their idols on the ground, and looked like a puff of dust went up in the air for, oh, several city blocks. And Mr... Then I offered prayer, congregational prayer for the people, just stood up at the platform and prayed. And it was estimated around twenty or twenty-five thousand stretcher cases and wheelchairs got up and walked away at one time. That's simple faith. They just seen it done once, and that was enough. That was enough for them.

L-13 And the next day, Mr. Sidney Smith is the mayor of Durban, South Africa, great city, three or four times the size of this one here. And he said, "Go to your window and watch out towards the seashore, and you'll see something you never seen." And the great buses, or trucks there (just about long as the--where that clock is, or farther), the beds of them six and eight-wheel long... And they had around seventeen truck loads of boards they'd used for stretchers, clubs that they'd walked on, things they'd pulled them by. There's seventeen of those bus loads just laying, piled full, with the people coming behind that was laying on them the day before, coming behind singing in their own native tongue, "All things are possible. Only believe."

L-14 Oh, my. What a wonderful Christ we're serving. He's so lovely. No wonder He's the Fairest of ten thousand. He's the Fairest of all. So we love Him with all of our heart. To see Him do those things...
Now, it's a little different here, because you find here the people becomes more or less chance-taking, Gospel-hardened. But there they just... You can't teach them intellectual religion, because they won't receive it. You pass them tracts, or go in and start talking about Christ, or things like that, they'll walk away and leave you standing there. See?
They--they won't listen to you, Mohammedan or none of them, because they have an intellectual religion. They've got to see something positive, something in action, see it with their own eyes, stand there and look at it; see it spoke of in the Word, and then come to pass. That's what they look for. Once like that, and then it's all over. They really believe then.
