<TITLE>03. Par 17-28</TITLE>L-17   Now, I remember my first trip through Yuma. I was in a Model-T Ford that could make thirty miles an hour. I was thinking as I drove in today. Still faithful to the Ford; I still got one, and had nothing else but that. But I... Now, I don't sell Fords. Now, that isn't a plugging that. See? But I remember how that Ford... Many of you brethren about my age remembers the old Model T. This was in 1927. You had to look real good or you wouldn't find Yuma when you passed through. It was very small, and you've certainly growed. But, the way I got thirty miles an hour out of my Ford, it went fifteen miles an hour this way, fifteen this a-way. So, put it together, I had thirty miles an hour, with all my bumps and so forth. Yuma has growed.

L-18   This glorious Church, that we are--we are contending for this wonderful Faith.

L-19 Thank you, brother, ever who did that. [Someone gave something to Brother Branham--Ed.]

L-20 It's growed, too, and we're grateful for that. The Lord bless you all.

L-21 We hope, if you're around, near, any of these meetings... I got the--the chapter at Phoenix, to speak, next Sunday. And the following Sunday at Flagstaff. And the following Monday, the twenty-first, is a banquet at Tucson. All of you are invited.

L-22   And, the Lord willing, I want to speak at the Westward Ho Hotel ballroom, I believe. What night does that begin? [Someone says, "That's Sunday afternoon, the seventeenth."--Ed.] Sunday afternoon, the seventeenth, just a little evangelistic service. Hope these singers are around, close to that time, to help us. And we're going to be there then until Wednesday. I think it's Sunday afternoon. And we do that 'cause we won't interrupt with any of the programs of the churches. Then, Monday and Tuesday, and then Wednesday we're at the Ra-... at the West-... the Ramada Inn, Ramada Inn. And then Thursday we begin at the Westward Ho. Is that?

L-23 [A brother says, "Westward Ho, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Then we go to the Ramada Inn, Wednesday, and we stay there till the convention."--Ed.] Convention is over, at the Ramada Inn. So we'll be glad to have you at any time.

L-24   Now, before we turn to this Book, let's bow our head just a moment and speak to the Author.

L-25 Now, with our heads bowed to the dust from where God took us, and, if Jesus tarries, we've got to return back that way someday. Just since I been here, I got a message from the east, that a little lady I knew... She is the little girl named Edith Wright. Passed on to meet God, this afternoon, at three o'clock. We got to go back. If there's any here that would like to be remembered in the prayer, would you just raise your hand to God. God bless you.

L-26   Heavenly Father, as we have so enjoyed this fine fellowship, singing, oh, how it thrilled my heart when I heard that song, Did John See Me? Father, I trust that we'll all be there, each one of us. And we're bowed now towards the dust, and we--we pray that you receive our--our thanksgiving, and our repentance, and our prayer for each other.

L-27 And now we turn to Your Word, the sacred part of the meeting that seems to be more sacred than--than the rest, because we know at this time we're dealing with people, to lead them to a Truth, to Christ and to the Word, which is Christ. And we pray that You'll open the Word for us. We--we are insufficient, Lord, but Thou art all-sufficient. So I pray that You'll bless our feeble efforts, and may we tonight find ourselves and our position in the Word of God. Grant it, Father. And we'll give Thee the praise, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-28   Now, this is real nice to be here. I have a few notes here that I thought I'd refer to, for a few minutes, as I don't suppose we're allowed to keep this hall too long of a evening. And I'm kind of, too, amongst the Pentecostal people, I'm kind of slow, you know.
