<TITLE>01. Par 1-13</TITLE>63-0804E, Calling Jesus On The Scene, Marigold Center, Chicago, IL, 80 min
L-1      God bless you, brother. God bless you, brother. Let us bow our heads.

L-2 Heavenly Father, we're so glad that we still have You, Lord. When we have all other things gone, we still have you. You're everlasting to everlasting. We do thank You, Lord, for these wonderful things that You have showed to us in this end time. We thank You for this revival and for this place here, for Brother Carlson, for all the ministering brothers around who are trying to hold up the thing that's right. We pray for them, Lord, with all of our heart, that You'll--You'll give a great awakening here in Chicago, Lord. Grant it. We are looking forward for it. Now forgive our sins and trespasses. And now, Lord, tiredly in physically speaking, but yet in spirit I feel fresh, and I pray that You'll refreshen us all now and make us ready for whatever You have for us tonight. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-3   You may be seated. This has certainly been a great time of refreshening for me. I have appreciated it so much. The Lord Jesus only knows how much that I--I thank the Lord for--for what He has... for what He's done for us.

L-4 Now I want to thank this audience for all your kindness and for your cooperation, for--for staying by us and listening to the Word. And yet, Sunday night, after having a Sunday afternoon service, the place is practically packed out tonight again. We're so grateful for that.

L-5   Now I want to thank you for your little tokens of gifts that you have sent me, by Billy Paul. The box of candy and the box of cookies, and, you know, a box of--of walnut kernels, and, oh, all the little gifts and things, they just mean so much to our heart. We certainly appreciate it. Usually...

L-6 I think they said they taken a love offering. That wasn't the reason I come, you all know that, after all these years. But what the love offering, I don't even look at it, don't see it. It goes straight to the--the... for--for the missionary trip overseas, the which I'm fixing to take right away.

L-7   I'm going in to see some of you fine Norwegians and Swedes, your original home where you come from, over in Norway and Sweden; and down into Denmark, up into Finland.

L-8 And then over to see Brother Mattsson, in Kenya and Tanganyika, visit his schools. The little brother has certainly worked hard in those schools. I'm going to visit him, to place the ministry that the Lord Jesus has given me, before those precious young men there that's going out packing the Gospel.

L-9 From there, on down into South Africa, come, trying to come back around through China, Japan, and up across the other side of the world.

L-10   That's what we do with these love offerings. And we are... Therefore the people are not able to sponsor the meetings, so I just keep holding back everything that people give me, comes in. I don't even cash a check; it's stamped from the church, and goes into an offering and can only be used for that, it's only, so then I know it's got to go right, see, so we're thankful.

L-11 And I'll certainly be glad, about eighty percent of our congregation around here in Chicago is usually Norwegians or Swedes, and--and they're really lovely people.

L-12 Frankly, I'm leaving Chicago, for Tucson, Arizona. That's where I live now. And I'm living... My landlord is a little Swede. I believe she may be setting here, tonight, Sister Larson. I stay at her home in Tucson, Arizona. I haven't seen her yet, but she lives here in Chicago, and perhaps here at this time if she is not out in Tucson. Lovely, sweet little person, with a lovely husband. We certainly appreciate her.

L-13   And now, Brother Carlson, Christian Business Men, all the minister brothers everywhere, the Lord richly bless you. The Lord bless this place and make it a great place of salvation, where, a refuge where the righteous run into and are safe. That's my sincere prayer. And trusting with all my heart that...
