<TITLE>01. Par 1-8</TITLE>64-0405, A Trial, 4-H Club Barn, Louisville, MS, 62 min
L-1      Our Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the privilege that we have of gathering under this roof this afternoon, again, to hear the Word of God, and to see the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. We're under great anticipations, Father. And we pray that You'll receive us this afternoon, and respect our efforts that we put forth to come to worship You. Bless every soul that's here. We realize that good things are those that's hard to get. So we pray, that because of their sacrifice, there won't be anyone left out but what will be healed this afternoon. Save the lost and get glory to Yourself. We ask in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
You may be seated.

L-2   Our tin roof kind of makes it hard for you to hear. We won't take but just a little bit, to speak to you. And then we'll go right on with the prayer line, 'cause that's what we designated this afternoon for, was to pray for the sick.

L-3 And now I want to say this. I don't know when I have ever enjoyed of being with a group of people any more than I have this group here. You've been really fine. I was telling Brother Johnson, a while ago, that I don't know when I ever enjoyed a meeting any better. Such a wonderful spirit among you people, and belief, faith. I'd like to stay here about a month, so we could really get acquainted with one another. Usually, about time you get acquainted, then it's time you have to say "good-bye" and go somewheres.

L-4   I don't know who this little policeman is out here, standing out there in all that rain, bareheaded, trying to direct that traffic. If anybody knows him, thank him personally for me, will you? I tell you, he's done a real good job.

L-5 I want to thank the man who come in here and cleaned out this place, and fixed it for this, so this meeting could be here today. I tell you, the community owes a great tribute to men of that courage, that'll do that. I owe a great tribute to you, for a people that will come out on a day like this. Most people would stayed home. I--I appreciate your courage. And you standing here in the midst of all this difficult, setting under this roof, can hardly hear what's going on, but yet determined to stay anyhow. That's, that's the courage. I--I like that. I always think of that song:
Must I be carried home to Heaven
On a flowery bed of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas? (Yeah, difficult!)

L-6   I preached, some time not long ago, in South Africa, where it was raining so hard in the time of the monsoon, until women, just setting everywhere and their hair streaking down, been setting there all day in that rain. I never seen such a meeting of healing in my life!

L-7 In Mexico, not long ago, I remember standing down there preaching, when it been raining like this, out in that bull ring there, all day. And them people was there at nine o'clock that morning, setting in the rain. And a woman with a dead baby in her arms. The baby had died the night before, and that little baby laying stiff, in her arms. A fellow had give out the prayer cards, and done give them all out. There was no more prayer cards. They let me down on a rope, back behind the ring, to get into the ring like this. And Billy come running to me. He said, "Daddy, I don't know what I'm going to do." He said, "I've got three hundred ushers standing there."

L-8   And how many knows Jack Moore? Most all of you know Jack Moore, here, I guess. He was with me.
