L-1       Let's bow our heads. Dear Heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight because that You answer prayer for us. This poor dear woman laying there, where surgery has failed. But, O God, we remember the first surgery was ever performed in the earth, You did it Yourself. You taken from the side of Adam, a rib, closed up the incision, and made a wife. O Father, I pray tonight that Your hand will come down now and will perform this great thing that we're asking for. And these others, Lord, this woman that's suffering with mental oppression, all others who's got requests, we just commit them to Thee, Father, with our whole heart. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Indeed a privilege to be here tonight and have this fine audience to look at. And fine singing, the wonderful little choir. I was just thinking the difference, seeing them boys standing there with... clean-looking fellows, clean haircuts. I was thinking, last night, of--of the place where I'm staying; a bunch of hoodlums came in down there and trying to drowned a boy in the swimming pool; they had to call out something and get them out of there. What a difference, see kids standing, singing the Gospel songs; what a difference.

L-2   Thinking, as Brother Henry said there, "those man with them hair like the women should have," you see. That--that--that's right. Look like the... I see these boys kind of have that hair, they even put these roller-curlers in it, around their face. I don't know, I... sometimes I become discouraged. It looks like it--it's a true time of perversion. Man are trying to wear women's clothes, and women wearing man's clothes. And man leaving their hair like women, and women having hair like man. What's the matter with this people, anyhow? Has the, really, the very threads of decency and honor left this nation and these people, this world?

L-3 This is a horrible time, but it's the most glorious time in the world, to preach the Gospel. If I could've stood on the brink of time before it come into existence, and the Father would have looked at me, and said, "What time down through these ages would you want to preach?" I'd want it right now, that's right, just before His coming.

L-4   Looking out upon the audience, setting here before us... A minister friend of mine, in Tucson yesterday, was riding a horse. (Thinking of this man with this... this woman with the disc in her back.) This horse threw him. Another man called me at one o'clock this morning, to my hotel, and said, "The man's at Veterans Hospital, and his eyes are glassy, his back smashed, his kidneys are pushed out, and his heart's about to fail." And there I got down on the floor, on my knees; telephone, got him on the other end, and prayed for him. And here he sets here tonight, setting right there. That was last night. Bob, would you just stand up there? There's the man, right there. [Congregation applauds--Ed.] God answers prayer, morning, night, noontime, midnight, or anytime.

L-5   Now, I--I am such a long-winded preacher, as they call it. I just kind of hate to get started this time of night, and--and I thought I'd just come over. The other night, why, we was speaking over here at a certain place, and the... fifteen minutes after I had been on, the people was picking up the dishes and motioning to me, "Quit! Shut up, you got to get out of here," smoking cigarettes, and carrying on. It wasn't the--the banquet's fault, it was the people that they had it rented from. And the--the chairman's wife went around and told the manager, said...

L-6 Said, "Well, you're supposed to be out of here at 9:30."

L-7 Said, "You never put that in the contract."

L-8 This lady, tonight, she come down here (real nice lady) and she said, "We understood that you want it," said, "just take it as long as you want." So that... So I'm very thankful for that. That's very fine.
