<TITLE>01. Par 1-8</TITLE>63-0304, A Absolute, City Auditorium, Houston, TX, 50 min
L-1      Thank you, brother. Thank you, Brother Houstra.
Good evening, to Houston. I certainly deem this a great privilege, of being here again tonight in Houston. It's been many years since I've had the privilege of being here. And I've been setting, listening tonight to each of these speakers.

L-2 And the other day, when I had arrangements made for something else, another place, and I knew that those children were facing death, I thought, "If something would happen to those children, I would never forgive myself," of not coming here to give my opinion and doing all that I could, to help this mother and father, and of these children, and to do all that I could for the saving of their lives.

L-3   And Houston has... is a memorial place to me. It holds many great memories that I have cherished ever since I first made my visit here many years ago, over here to the Herald Of Faith, Brother Kidson, and then down here to the auditorium when I was here with Brother Raymond Richey and the ministers of the city.

L-4   And then, of course, Mr. Ayers, Mr. Kipperman, the night that the camera proved that I wasn't telling anything that was wrong. It was Truth. And when the mechanical eye of the camera caught the vision of the... or, not the vision; the reality. The Christ that we preach and so love, was with us. He promised to be with us, and the camera took His picture. Many times I've said, in times past, that--that I'd see that Light all the time. But sometime people would be a little skeptic of It, which you could believe they could be that way, but that night it proved it. That was the first time It was ever taken.

L-5 Since then, It's been taken several times. In Germany just recently, coming down, when the anointing was, and when It went back again. And those things are not to magnify some human being, but it's to vindicate the Presence of Jesus Christ among his people.

L-6 And we believe that that same Lord Jesus is here tonight, to help us in this case. And I believe that He's more interested in it than we could be. And I am certainly in sympathy with the parents of these children, and shoulder-to-shoulder with every man and woman that's trying to deliver them from the jaws of death.

L-7   And, now, I understand that this is not a revival meeting, but it's just a--a series of prayer meetings being held for these souls that's laying in the shadows of death. And so I'm late. I will not speak very long.

L-8 But I would like to draw a text, or a context, rather, from a text that I would like to read in two places in the Scripture. And you who have the Bibles, if you would turn with me for just a moment, to the book of Philippians, the 1st chapter, and the 20th verse of the 1st chapter of Philippians.
According to my earnest expectations and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but... with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be... life, or... death.
