<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>62-0718, Jesus Christ The Same Yesterday, Today, And Forever, National Guard Armory, Salem, OR, 112 min
L-1 Thank you, very much. You may be seated. It's been some time since I was in Salem, Oregon, before. And I've always waited with great anticipations on seeing the time to return again to get to visit with the saints of the Lord here who are sojourning in Salem and around.
We do not believe that this is your abiding place, because here we have none. But we're seeking a city to come whose Builder and Maker is God. So we profess that we are pilgrims and strangers here, not strangers with each other, but strangers in the world, because our heritage is of above. And we're had the privilege about two years ago of visiting some of our friends over in Oregon here, around Klamath Falls. And such a wonderful time we had.
We bring you greetings from the others around the different parts of the world that's sojourning too. And this our--my ninth straight meeting. Kind of come to you a little bit tired, but always ready to serve the Lord in any capacity that I can.

L-2 Now, we have fine--five glorious meetings scheduled: tonight, tomorrow night, and on till Sunday afternoon. I think Sunday afternoon is our closing service in the campaign. We want to thank you all for calling us here, the sponsorship, for all who is cooperating for this lovely building. And everything is made so nice. I think, humanly speaking, that we're have every--you've done everything real well.
Now, the next thing it will take... We just never come to see each other--which we did, in one sense, to see each other, but yet we come to worship the Lord, and to try to do something for His Kingdom. And now, it's going to take every speck of effort we can put forth to do it. And it's going to... Now, this is the meeting that we have set for the Kingdom of God, and it's every Christian's duty to do their part, as much as they possibly can, to see that it's a great success for the Kingdom.

L-3 Now, many times we ministers, we, with different organizations, and so forth, but we're all pressing for one great place. Every soul that we can direct that way, that's what we're doing. And we know now the laity has also a great opportunity now for them to do their part of the ministry. Each one of you has to be a preacher, and that is, to tell somebody else, to get the sick and the afflicted in, and get the sinners in. And we'll sow the seed of God, and play--pray that God will rain down the Holy Spirit upon it, and bring forth a great crop of souls during this meeting.
That's our first intention is to win souls; secondly, to the up-building of God's people, the church; thirdly, prayer for the sick; and to do anything that lays in our power to help make life a little better for you, and the journey a little--the burdens a little lighter.

L-4 And we hope that when we leave, and the meeting is broke up, there'll be--the whole city will be benefited, everybody, make it a little--a place that's a little easier to do right, a little harder to do wrong. That--that's what we want to leave that when we leave the city.
We want to report up and down the coast in these meetings we've had over here, has been glorious. The Lord has blessed us; the places was packed out and... And we've seen two meetings... The last two meetings were just about completely... Every wheelchair, stretcher case, whatever it was, was delivered by the--by the Lord--about every one that come to the meeting. We were so thankful to report that to those who are looking for healing for themselves and their loved ones. And also that many has been saved, and filled with the Holy Spirit, and churches has been blessed.
And when we feel a doing that, we feel that we're putting forth our little part to help the Kingdom of God. And we're here, brethren, with you brethren here. I appreciate your kindness of inviting me over, and having me here.
