<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>62-0725, A Greater Than Solomon Is Here, Legion Auditorium, Port Alberni, BC, 105 min
L-1 Thank you Brother. God bless you. Anyone that couldn't preach behind that wouldn't be called a preacher, would they? Wonderful, beautiful, well done. Certainly appreciate that in my lovely brother. I was just inquiring about him, how close he was for the next meeting. I think he's from (I didn't get it just right), from another province or something. But that's really fine. So thankful that God has given this brother this lovely talent to sing His praises. You know, it--it all goes to make the Gospel. I was preaching the other day down in the States there, on four ways of seeing God. You know... And there's a thousand ways of seeing God if you just look around. He's--He's everywhere.

L-2 Now, we're sorry that we kept you so late last night, when you was awful hot in here. Some of the friends that's with me said, "Whew." They was just fanning away. So I... Then someone said, "That doesn't bother the Indians though." Said, "They stay right there all night, testify the rest of the night." So--so I'm grateful. Maybe when I go, just get up and start testifying, telling about what the Lord did for you.

L-3 How many of you ever hear of Tommy Osborn? He's a very precious friend of mine, and he goes to the old country much, over across the seas, a missionary. And he said... One time I was going to... I was on my road to South Africa, and he came to the meeting. And--and when I walked out on the stage at New York City, that place where they do all that wrestling, the big arena there... And the place was packed out and jammed together.
And I was walking out across the stage, and Tommy come right over and grabbed me around the waist and started hugging me. And I said, "Tommy, what you doing way up here?"
"Just say farewell to you and ask God's blessings on you while you're gone overseas." He's one of my converts to Christ in the healing ministry. And he said...
And I said, "I guess you're wore out, Tommy." He'd been preaching so much.
Said, "No." Said, "I don't have any discernment and have to get wore out." Said, "You know what I do? I just stand there for fifteen minutes and tie the devil up in a knot with the Word." Said, "He can't get out of it. Then I have them pray for one another, and then I get me a chair and set down, and listen to them testify till daylight," he said. Said, "One will get up and testify and tells what God did for him, and that makes the other one believe, and he gets up and testifies. And while he's testifying another one's getting up." And said, "I just set there, and clap my hands, and have a good time."

L-4 Oh, my. It's wonderful to see how God has His different ministries (You see?), how He works it. This lovely brother here singing, that's a ministry of song. And others has a ministry. See, God has set in the church predestined gifts. One of them is--first is apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangelists.
Now, apostles is actually what we would call today, we give them a new name, missionary. A missionary is an apostle. Now, the word "missionary" means "one that is sent." And the "apostle" means "one that is sent," the same thing. But how they ever wanted to be called apostles, or missionaries instead of apostles, I don't know. But a missionary must have the call of God and sent of God: one sent.
