« 1 † The little old Tabernacle... And I've been back many times an hour or two, or maybe be in for a service. This is my first time to come back, or anywhere, to try to hold a revival. We're starting tonight. A revival, to my opinion, doesn't consist of, well, bringing in new members. A revival doesn't consist of a bunch of conversions, although those things go along with a revival. But a revival is to revive what you've already got, just to get them revived.

« 2 † And now I... we have a very wonderful pastor here, Brother Neville, who's setting on the seat just in front, a little hoarse tonight, from a cold.
And I'm going to lay this really home. I used to be, when I was here, I was the pastor, I was the song leader, I took up the offerings, I paid the debts, I was the janitor, and I was the carpenter, and I just cleaned the ashes out of the stove, and done whatever come along to be done, then worked at the Public Service Company on the side. Seventeen years of that, I was here. And I'm very happy for this little old structure tonight. And it's certainly like a birthplace to me. Not very elaborate, but it's a--and not so gigantic; but it's home, and I feel very comfortable. And I'm so happy for it.

« 4 † And now, our meetings are going to consist maybe... We have given out for five nights, up till Sunday night. And we're going to teach out of the Scriptures, teaching. Now, in this teaching, it will consist of nothing but Bible. Now, and then, and in the--in the meeting... Now, I want to make real clear so, in the beginning now, that we'll have the real background. I believe you... We want that first, and we'll see the rules and the regulations, and what all we do, so that before we have prayer and start the services...

« 5 † And now I'm intending, if the Lord willing, to speak tonight on "The church," and the five nights on The church.
The first night, tonight, is "Israel In Egypt."
And tomorrow night, the Lord willing, is Out At The Red Sea.
And then the next night, Before The Brazen Serpent.
Then on Saturday night, At Kadesh-barnea.
And on Sunday night, we want to take them over In The Homeland.
And that's all Scriptural teachings. And bring your Bible, because we're just Scripture after Scripture.

« 6 † Many calls have been coming in to pray for the sick and so forth. But I've kind of kept away from it. I'm trying to keep my mind strictly on Bible teaching. And now, I don't know what our Lord will do. We're waiting the call for overseas, to go overseas. I thought this was a wonderful time. Maybe from then, maybe Brother Neville will feel better by that time and can pick up from right there, maybe, and go on in this revival. I'd like to see it go on through Easter. And I'd like to have a great big baptism here Easter morning. Wouldn't that be wonderful, just a time for a great bunch to be baptized? I believe there's some young folks here to be baptized.
And now while I'm on the question of the young folks. Now, we have a few visitors. I guess I'm not familiar who does come here and who doesn't. I just don't know the... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

« 8 † 12th chapter, to begin, and you with pencils and paper... We have some extra Bibles if someone would desire to follow us in Scriptures and would want one. One of the elders would be glad to bring it to you just now, if you'll raise your hand. We have five or six Bibles here. The others are just New Testaments, brother, and I'm going to be in the Old Testament most tonight.

« 9 † In the studying of the Scripture, I have been accused, and do a great deal of typology. Which typology is typing the Old with the New. I'll tell you why I do that. It's because of this.
Maybe sometimes the--the great words that scholars and so forth try to give the Bible Its--Its terms or pronouncing... I'm satisfied to take the King James for mine. It's waved the storms longer than any translation yet, and I just believe it that way.
