L-1      Bless you. Thank you, sir. Very nice to be here tonight. I have waited for this time with a great anticipation. We come to your fair city about six months ago, right after Christmas, and we been sojourning here with you. And one day while out with Brother Tony Stromei, I... We fell on the idea that it would be nice to get better acquainted before we had to leave. And we thought it would be nice to have a little campaign down here, to get the... we all get together and have some fellowship around the Word of God. And I...

L-2   Many of these brethren I have met, and I visit some of their churches and found such a wonderful welcome. And I think it's a grand thing that we can all meet together for these few nights now, to fellowship around the Word of God. We are trusting that it'll be a great success to the glory of God, and the upbuilding of the cause that Jesus died for, that is, that He might have a church without spot or wrinkle when He returns. Now, we don't represent any certain organization. We just come as the interdenominational, to gather together with every Christian, that we might have this fellowship together.

L-3   And we are going to pray for the sick people. And many times, when you mention praying for the sick, then they say, "a Divine healer." No. I--I don't believe there is but One, and that's Christ. We... Sometimes they pin that on you, as Divine healer, but because you pray for the sick. But I do not believe that praying for the sick would make you any more of a Divine healer than it would make you a Divine Saviour to pray for the lost. So we know that we would not be a Divine Saviour or a Divine healer.

L-4   We believe that all these great benefits that we enjoy today in this Christian economy we have, was all purchased at Calvary by the Son of God, Jesus Christ. We believe that "He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed." It's all a past tense. It's something God has done for us at Calvary. And, as Christians, we have the right to enjoy these blessings that He has purchased for us.

L-5   So, therefore, no man could save another. If it would have been so, Jesus would not had to die. But when Jesus died at Calvary, He settled the sin question forever. And every man, every creature on earth, when He died, was saved at that very minute. Every... The price was paid, completely. It was so met that God identified that it was true.

L-6 Now, the only thing we have to do, to receive this, is to accept it, to believe it and accept it. But no matter how much that He died for our salvation, we--we must, ourself, accept it as our own personal experience, our--our own desire. We must want to be saved, and believe that upon the basis of His shed Blood that we are saved after we have met the requirements of the Bible.

L-7   I believe in the Bible being the full revelation of Jesus Christ. Now, I do believe that God can do things that's not written in the Bible, because He's God. But as long as we can find it in the Bible, as a promise, then we know it's true, because the--the Word is true, always. And so we believe Him to keep His promise.

L-8 I believe that He is almighty. I believe He's infinite. Being infinite, He knowed all things. He knows all things. A million years before there was a world, He knew we'd set right here tonight. If it isn't, He isn't infinite. And if He--and if He isn't infinite, then He isn't God.
