<TITLE>01. Par 1-9</TITLE>63-1127, The World Is Again Falling Apart, Life Tabernacle, Shreveport, LA, 93 min
L-1      Amen. The Lord bless you. You can be seated. Sounded so good to come in tonight and hear you praising the Lord, and get back home again and see everybody. I been looking for this since last Thanksgiving when I was here, to get back to my tabernacle again. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] I don't know where he went. Here he is over here. I just wonder if he was going to still say "amen" to that, you know. [Brother Moore says, "Amen."] It's always good to be here. And I looked forward, as I said, since last Thanksgiving.

L-2   We have just left New York City, where we had a wonderful campaign. The Lord blessed us there in a mighty way. And we was at the Morris Auditorium, and the crowds packed in, and up-and-down the streets. And they would stand out there, waiting. If--if one come in, just a bystander, you know, and would think, well, something; some people, you know, go to church, and then the first thing, something said, that they don't like, they'll get up and walk out. And they was out there voting, who would get that seat when they come out. And I come by each night, and nearly a city block away, and they would be piled up-and-down the streets. And the Lord did bless us and give us souls, and many great healings taken place.

L-3 And then at the Business Men's breakfast, we had a wonderful time, sold out their tickets. And--and then I think they had to let hundreds in, that didn't have tickets. Then they filled the corridors, and around the hall and doors, and so forth. And we just had a wonderful time. An Episcopalian priest and everything there, and the Lord blessed us greatly.

L-4   And then we stopped in at home, my other home, in Jeffersonville. Course, I live now in Tucson, Arizona, as you know, for the last two years.

L-5 And now I'm on the road back to Tucson now, for the Business Men's breakfast next week at Phoenix. Where, right immediately after the first of the year, we start a campaign there, a few days prior to the Business Men's International, I believe, or national convention at--at the Ramada Inn.

L-6 And it's so good to be here in--in this fine city of Shreveport, tonight.

L-7   Now, usually I speak a long time. But I'm going to try my best to keep it down, three or four hours, anyhow, to this and to this time. And I know I just wear you out, but, see, I don't get to see you so often. And many goes Home before I... go Home to Glory before I get to see you again, and I think, "Well, this will be our last earthly chat together before you take your flight." And many has gone, no doubt, since this time last year. And probably, if the Lord tarries, and we get to get back again next year or sometime, it will be some more, here tonight, maybe myself. We don't know what time we're to be called. And, you know, the Lord Jesus might even come before this services is closed tonight.

L-8   Now, as you know me, I'm not an orator, I'm not a speaker. I--I just love the Lord and do what I can for His glory. And when I stand here in this platform, knowing that man like Brother Moore and many great man has stood in this platform, it makes me feel kind of--kind of... not out of place, I don't mean that. But, I mean, my grammar and things, I feel like, if the people didn't love me real well, they'd get up and walk out when I got in the pulpit. So they just bear with me, and I'm thankful for it now.

L-9   But I always come with this--with this objective. I don't come here just to be seen; if I did, I would go to your house for a visit, see. I come here to do the very best I can for the Lord Jesus Christ, while I'm here. I'm here for no other purpose but to serve Him, and the best that I know how, and to bring to you the Word just as It's given to me, pray for your sick and afflicted. Now, we'll have a night, or two, Brother Moore and I will get together, that we're going to pray for the sick.
