L-1      Thank you, Brother Neville. The Lord bless you. Just remain standing a moment while we bow our heads for prayer.

L-2   Gracious Heavenly Father, we're approaching Thee again this morning for mercy and for guidance of the Holy Spirit today, as it's dawned upon us, that we should meet together this morning and to teach Thy Word, and that we might know how to live in this present day, and what is the time of day that we're living. We would ask Thy holy guidance to our thoughts, our hearts today, that You would direct us to every Word that is necessary for us to know; that You would open our mouths freely, and our hearts, also, to receive, and that which You would speak to us, and would close our mouths to the things that are not right, knowing that only You can reveal the Word of God.

L-3 And now as I have to leave the little church right away now for the other parts of the world, I'm committing them to Thee, Lord. Which, they are a part, the apple of my heart, as to say. They are the--the ones that's been begotten to You, by the Spirit and by the Word of Truth. And I pray that You will bless them, Lord, and keep them closely knitted together by the bonds of the love of Christ.

L-4   Bless our dear beloved pastor, the shepherd. We pray that You'll anoint him with the Holy Spirit, of Thy Word, and reveal to them and feed the flock.

L-5 And once, just a while ago, when You showed the vision, the little tabernacle here, about to store up the Food, that there would come a time when this would all be needed. When we seen Brother Sothmann and Brother Woods ready to cross over into another country, to... But You said, "Store up this Food here for the time." Lord, reverently I've tried to do that.

L-6 And now, this morning, in this lesson that we have thought of, I pray that You will cap it all off, Lord, to show that You're God, and this is Your Word and Your Truth. Grant it, Lord, that the people might feed thereon and grow fat, as it was, in the grace of God, that they would see that it's God's great mercy to us in this day. Bless all that's present and those who would like to be present, Father. And get glory to Thyself, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
The Lord bless each and every one of you now.

L-7   And I believe, just before we start, we have a little baby here, a Collins. I met the father just a few moments ago, and--and he had a little baby he wanted dedicated. And we want to do that now, if Brother or Sister Collins, one, will bring the little one forward so we can have the dedicational service for this little fellow.

L-8   Leaving, you know, why, it causes... as these are loyal members or... of the Body of Christ. You notice, I never said "of the tabernacle." "Of the bodies of Christ," the... this body here, a part of His Body.

L-9 And they got a little fellow here they want dedicated. And--and this is always a job I think my--my wife envies me of, to hold the babies. Uh-huh. And Brother Neville, if you'll come forward, if you will.

L-10   What is your first name, brother? [The father says, "Clyde."--Ed.] This is Brother and Sister Clyde Collins, is the brother to our precious brother here, Reverend Collins, Wilbur. And they've had an increase to the number of Collinses here, I see, and a very cute little fellow.

L-11 How old is he, Sister Collins? [The mother says, "Almost four months."--Ed.] Almost four months. And what's his name? ["Mark David Collins."] Mark David. That's a very fine name. He looks like a very fine boy. Say, he's kind of a big boy, too.

L-12 Now I know the mothers here can appreciate this little fellow here. Isn't that a doll? [Brother Branham holds Mark David up before the congregation--Ed.]
All right, as we bow our heads now.
