<TITLE>06. Par 26-31</TITLE>L-26 cont. Our Heavenly Father, as we lay our hands upon the sister of this little one just dedicated to You, the parents wants this little one dedicated, also. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ rest upon this child, and give her a long life, a blessed life of service to You, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
God bless you now, bless you all. You're mighty fortunate parents, this morning, to have those two lovely little fellows.
26b        His name? [The father says, "Joe William Cartwright."--Ed.] Joe William Cartwright. He's taking his siesta this morning, I think. All right. Now, if you--you all... Well, you can hold him if you--if you rather, ma'am. That's good. Joseph, come up here. All right. And you can hold him if you wish to.
Our Heavenly Father, we bring to You, this little Joseph William Cartwright. The father stands, this morning, to give back to You that which You've given to him, in a life of service. God, bless the little one, and may he live a long life, healthy, strong, and become a great servant to You. Bless his father and mother, the home he'll be raised at. May Christ be that unseen Guest at all times. And we give this little boy to You, for a life of service, in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
Bless you, Brother Steve Cartwright.
26c        Little girl? [The sister says, "Yes, sir."--Ed.] Ma'am? ["Pam Lewski."] Sylvia Shippy.
Our Heavenly Father, we're laying our hands upon this little girl, as the loved one brings her here this morning, standing at the altar. May the blessings that would come upon her, if the Lord Jesus laid His Own nail-scarred hands upon this child, may them blessings rest upon the little one. Bless her now, and may she live a long, happy life, and be a servant to You. And bless her home, her parents, her loved ones. In the Name of Jesus Christ we do this act, according to the Bible. Amen.
Blessing you...?... Bless you...?...
26d        She's going to be a singer. What's the name? [The brother says, "Roy Allen Myer."--Ed.] Roy Allen Myer. I said, he is going to be a singer.
It reminds me. I hope this doesn't sound bad, at the church, but one day I was talking to an Indian. Had a little baby standing there, and I said then, "He's a nice fellow. And he's a nice fellow."L-28 Brother Kidd, I was having a little interview with someone in the office, but I--I heard your emotion this morning out here, of a--of a man of your age. And I suppose you were telling of how the Lord healed you out... the audience. And I almost tore my car up, one morning, to get to the elderly... He's an old minister.

L-29   Just think, this man was, his little wife here, was preaching the Gospel before I was born. Preaching this Gospel, up over the mountains and valleys of Kentucky and Tennessee, with coal miners, and being run out. And they live without anything to eat. And this little wife here, washing on a washboard, for about twenty or thirty cents a day, to send her husband into the field to preach the Gospel. That's enough to make a person excited, ain't it?

L-30 And then to think, that there he laid, when the very best of doctors said, "He's dying. His prostrate, cancer all through him. He can't live but just a number of hours, and mainly a day or two." And that's been two or three years ago, three years ago. And here he is, this morning, healthy, well, giving God glory. Then how old were you when you were healed, Brother Kidd? About what was the age when God... How old are you, is he now? [A sister says, "Eighty-two."--Ed.] Eighty-... ["Eighty-three in August."] All right. He was about eighty years old when God healed him. Now does God care for us old people? Sure, He does. Yes, sir!

L-31   He healed Abraham when he was a hundred years old, and Sarah when she was ninety. And they brought forth Ishmael, or, beg your pardon, Isaac. Is that right? We're very happy for this.
