I 

EV. JOHN G. PATON, former- 

“R ly a Presbyterian pastor in 

London was, for many years, a mis- 

sionary to the New Hebrides Islands. 

I heard him, many years ago, tell this 

thrilling story, with many others. 

“The natives in large numbers sur- 

rounded his mission one night; intending 

to burn them out and kill them. Rev. Pat- 

on and his wife prayed all night long, 

while in !error and suspense, cat God 

would deliver them. As day hght np 

peared, the natives all left them and they 

thanked God and lay down to rest. 

“A year later the Chief of these natives 

was converted and one day he asked Rev. 

Paton if he remembered the time they 

came to burn the mission and kill ,him. 

Rev. Paton said, ‘Yes.’ The Chief th6n 

asked hLirn,”Who were all those men yozr 

had with you therep’ Rev. Paton ap18w6r- 

ered, ‘There was no one with us; just mg 

wife and myself.‘ ‘Yes, there wua,’ the 

Chief replied, ‘there were hundreds of big 

haen in shining garments, with .drawn 

&words ia their hands, all around the mis- 

sion and we were afraid of them and 

could do aothing.’ Then Rev. Paton told 

him, ‘God sent His angels to protect UQ.’ 

‘I surely believe it,’ said !he Chief.” 

(Psalms 91; Daniel 6:2R; II Ktngs 6:17). 

We have the protection of God, through 

angels, as His children. If we could real- 

ize how the Angel of the Lord encampeth 

round about us, certainly we would have 

Iess fear. All through Bible times, through 

modern times, God has proved His love 

and protection over His children, through 

the ministry and care of angels.

I BRONCHO SAVES CHILD 

I FROM IMMINENT DANGER 

IN DECEMBER of 1915 my Mother 

died of T.B. I was seventeen at the 

time. 

s The Great War was raging, and I 

took a man’s place behind four horses 

in Manitoba, working side by side 

with my brother on the land, farm- 

ing one and one-quarter sections. 

Across the road from our farm build- 

ings was a school section of land. We 

turned our horses out on it for exerclse, 

sixteen of them, feeling their winters rest 

and oats. 

My slim little blue-eyed sister was with 

me at the barn where I was flllmg the 

mangers with hay. Suddenly we heard 

the horses coming. Polly said, “I’m gohg 

to the house before they get here: they’re 

so wild,” and off she ran. 

Over a small hill by the barn the were 

coming, squealing, kicking, ga170phg.

Then Polly stopped running. She saw she 

couldn’t make it. She was between them 

and the well. I shouted, “You run and I‘ll 

pray.” I prayed as I had never prayed be- 

fore, then I was reminded of our chestnut 

broncho who had lost her colt that spring 

and how she fought to protect it as it 

lay on the ground, if an animal came 

near it. “Oh God,“ I prayed, “Send Jenny 

to protect her.” I looked to see where 

Jenny was and there, away at the back, 

trotting leisurely along, was Jenny taking 

her time. 

Suddenly her ears came forward, she 

held her head high, and saw the running 

child. With a leap she bounced forward, 

and soon passed two-thirds of the horses. 

Then she used teeth and heels, until she 

gat between the horses and child. She’d 

run to the child, then wheel on both hind 

feet, switch her tail fiercely, and bite the 

nearest horse. She stayed right by the 

child until she was up on the porch. Then 

she turned and trotted proudly across for 

a drink. It seemed to me when Jenny 

switched her tail so hard some of the 

hairs would sting the child, but not one 

hair touched her, nor her feet, when she‘d 

wheel so very close to the child. 

Surely our God can use anything He 

has made, to save anything He has made, 

for He is Almighty. I thanked Him many 

times for that wonderful deed+

CHURCH THEOLOGIAN 

,HEALED OF TUMOR 

ICHARD BAXTER of the seven- 

teenth century, one of the 

church’s greatest theologians, a man 

of unusual spiritual power, revealed 

his faith in Divine healing in his fa- 

mous classic, “THE SAINTS EVERLAST- 

ING REST.” In that book he tells of his 

own marvelous healing of a visible tumor. 

“1 am persuaded that there Is scarcely 

a godly experienced Christian that cam 

fully observes and faithfully recordeth 

God’s providences toward him, but is able 

to show you some strange and unusual 

mercies. which may plainly discover an 

Almighty Disposer. making good the 

promises of the Scriptures to His serv- 

ants; some in desperate disease of body, 

some in apparent dangers delivered so 

suddenly or so much against the common 

course of nature, when all the best rem. 

edies have failed, that no second cause 

could have any hand in their deliverance. 

I know that man’s atheism and infidelity 

will never want somewhat to say against 

the most eminent providences, though 

they were miracles themselves, but will 

ascribe alI to fortune or nature, or some 

such idol, which indeed is nothing. 

“How many times have I known the 

prayer of faith to save the sick when all 

physicians have given them up for dead. 

It has been my own case once, twice, or 

ten times, when all means had failed, I 

have been relieved by the prevalency of 

prayer. Among the abundant of instances 

I cou/d give, my conscience commandeth 

me here to give this one, as belonging to 

the very words here written. 

“I had a tumor rise on one of my ton- 

sils or almonds of my throat. The fear 

lest it should prove a cancer troubled me 

more than the thing itself. I first used 

dissolving medicines, for about a quarter 

of a year. At last my conscience smote 

me for silencing so many former deliver- 

ances that I had had in answer to prayer. 

I was to preach that morning just what 

is here written and, in obedience to m 

conscience, I spoke these wrds whicg 

are now here on this page, Viz: 

How many times have I known the 

prayer of faith to save the sick when all 

physicians have given them up as dead- 

with some enlargements not written here. 

When I went to Church I had my tumor 

as before {for I frequently saw it in the 

glass and felt it constantly). As soon.as 

1 had done preaching, I feIt it was gone, 

and hasting to the glass, I saw that there 

was not the least mark where it had been, 

nor did I discern what had become of it. 

I am sure I neither swallowed it nor spit 

it out, and it was unlikely to dissolve by 

any natural cause, that which had been 

hard as a bone a quarter of a year. 

I thought fit to mention this, because 

it was done just as I spoke the words 

here written on this page. 

Many such marvelous mercies I have 

received in answer to prayer.”

NAVY COMMANDER ItlllS 

CANCER BY PRAYERS 

By A. E. Hotchner 

(The following story is interesting be- 

cause the full report was carried in the 

Reader‘s Digest, considered the world’s 

greatest magazane, Nowember. 1951.) 

HE NAVY perhaps means more 

T to Lt. Commander Edwin Miller 

Rosenberg than to any other seafar- 

ing man now in service. Even as a 

small boy in Idaho, Rosenberg wanted to 

go to Annapolis and become an officer 

in the Navy. He finally managed to get 

his Congressman to recommend him for 

an appointment. 

One morning Rosenberg was stricken 

with a violent stomach ache, and ran a 

temperature of 104 degrees. Later, he had 

another attack and was entered into the 

Chelsea Naval Hospital in Boston, and 

was told he had cancer of the kidney and 

would live only two weeks. 

Later, the doctor came to ask Rosen- 

berg if he would like legal help in draw. 

ing up his will. When the doctor left his 

room, Bosenberg, a devout Lutheran, be- 

gan to pray. He contiiued to live past hi 

allotted two weeks and, in three months,

marveled at the X-ray plates which 

showed that the malignant tumor had dis- 

appeared. 

Later, the doctors found another can-

spend his last days with his family. 

Rosenberg prayed as never before, and 

again in 1947, he waa declared okay. 

Rosenberg stated, “When the newspa- 

pers carried the sto of recovery, I re- 

ceived mountains ofyetters from people 

all over the world. They begged me to 

give them the cancer cure I had used. I 

wrote every one of them: ’Believe in 

yourself, and in the Lord: that is the 

cue, if you want to call it that.’ 

When I was in the Brooklyn Naval Hos- 

pital, I talked to hundreds who came into 

the wards ready to die. I asked them if 

they knew how to pray and, if they didn’t, 

I prayed with them and helped them to 

learn. There was that mornmg at Chelsea 

when the doctor suggested I send for a 

lawyer to settle my affairs. If I had sent 

for a lawyer, I’m sure that I would be 

dead today.

compIete and harmonious assembly

PRAYEEi DEPARTMENT 

OPENS FOR NEEDY 

OR THE PAST several years THE 

F VOICE OF HEALING has sent 

out thousands of anointed handker- 

chiefs to the sick. Many wonderful 

testimonies have been, received, of 

which we have published only a few. Hith- 

erto we have never made mention of this 

service in the pages of the magazine but 

so great has seemed the need in this re- 

spect that we are now formally opening a 

Prayer Department, 

This service will be entirely free, al- 

though free-will offerings will be received 

to defray the expenses of the Department 

that handles this mail. The only thing 

that we ask is that the individual will be 

willing to believe God himself and serve 

Him with all his heart. 

Every letter will be read, therefore we 

ask that the need be stated simply and 

not at too great length. You are to send 

a hbdlrerchief in the letter, enclosing a 

stamped self-addressed envelo e, and this 

will be prayed over persondy by Evan- 

gelist L. D. Hall or the Editor. Also, ar- 

rangements are being made whereby each 

day evxy evangelist in TVH will, at a 

certain time, agree in faith for the de- 

liverance of that individual. 

Your handkerchief will then be returned 

to you, with instructions on how it is to be 

used. 

When you receive your healing, be ~ure 

to write us and give God the glory! 

GOD-INSPIRING FAITH 

Dear TVH Editors: 

Thank you very much for the letter 

with the anointed cloth in it and all the 

inspiring words you wrote about healing 

for me, and for all prayers you offered. 

I must now send a few words telling 

you how much I appreciate your kind- 

ness. Believe me, Brother, this is the first 

time in life I have received such a won- 

derfuI gift without any charge. I have 

been accustomed to pay for everything, 

so you can understand how surprised I 

was when I received this prayer-cloth 

free, God bless you! 

Now I must tell you something that 

happened when I put the cloth on my 

body, as you said, and laid hold of God’s 

promises. A sudden change immediately 

took place in my heart and I felt a great 

relief in my body. However, the most

Dear TVH Editors : 

Greetings in Jesus Name! 

I praise and +ank God for your pray 

ers and the anointed cloth that you sent 

me about March 8th. 

When I discovered a lump on my left 

breast, about the size of a half dollar, 

I immediately wrote you for prayer and 

the anointed cloth. As soon as I received 

it, I placed it on my breast, in the name 

of Jesus, believing that God would heal 

me. The lump gradually became smaller 

each day then completely disappeared. 

Praise His Dear Name! 

I am also healed of an infection which 

I had for one year and four month,s, 

smthing like oak poisoning. 

God has wonderfully healed me aAd 

I give Him the praise!

of God 

In My Life” 

Bv W. V. Grant 

d 

Wallowing are a few sketches from 

Evangelist W. V. GranPs boo?, “THE 

GRACE OF GOD IN MY LIFE. 

It is written i% Aorne-spun English, but 

it reveals how God took a country boy, 

saved him from a life of sin and has given 

him a ministry that has resulted in 

tlzousands of conversions. Multitudes have 

also received the Baptism of the Holy 

Ghost and have been. healed under Brother 

Granfs ministry.] 

THERE WERE a few things that 

I wanted to. do before I got 

saved. I wanted “to get” a certain 

school teacher who had whipped me 

unmercifully with a stiff limb. I intended 

to “bump off” a guy who had 

stolen a gun and had given me so 

much trouble. I intended to kill a 

neighbor’s mule because he had killed 

our mule; and, of course, there were 

a few places I wanted to go before I 

changed my way of living. 

I began to pray, but determined that 

no one should know that I was under conviction 

until I was saved. I had an impression 

to tell Mama, but I was ashamed. 

Every time I would start to pray, I would 

hear someone coming and look up to And 

no one, 

I began to feel that I was the meanest 

man in all the world. Among the mean 

things which came up before me was a 

picture of myself in the back of churches 

laughing and making fun. I thought of 

how I mocked those who had testified. At 

last I made up my mind to go to .the altar, 

during a large revival campaign of 

about five thousand people. I knelt down 

and began to pray. I can still hear those 

prayers of the neighbors and kinfolks, as 

they surrounded me in that sawdust. 

As I unloaded, I got to where 1,could 

lift one hand at a time and then laft my 

head before that large crowd. I then unloaded 

all my sins, and my feet were so 

light that it seemed I was just touching 

the floor now and then. I felt as light as 

a feather, instead of as heavy as a bale 

of cotton. 

* * * 

JESUS HEALED ME 

I was prayed for to be healed the night 

I received the Holy Ghost, but the next 

morning I could see no difference in my 

physical condition. As I was praying, in 

the bottom of a dry branch near the corn 

patch, I opened Mama’s Bible and Exodus 

15:26 seemed to leap out above all the 

rect of the verses, just for me. I did not 

know that it was in the Bible before. The 

verse said that if I would obey- God, I 

was healed. The devil said no one could 

obey God, but that I would die. I told 

him it would be a short route to glory. 

God then sent a peace into my soul which 

drove out all fear, doubt,. worry and un- 

belef. I threw my rnedwzne down. I did 

not know how,.but I believed that I could 

go 0% wathout at. About two weeks passed 

before I could tell a great deal of differ- 

ence; but somehow God heIped me to live. 

In two months I had gained twenty-five 

pounds; in six months forty pounds. Up 

until then, my stomach had felt as dead 

as a piece of wood, but now it was alive. 

I began clearing land for seventy-five 

cents a ten-hour day. 

My uncle had the same trouble I had 

had. I wrote hlm such a long letter that 

he had to pay extra postage to get It. 

However, he did not believe me. He died 

soon thereafter. 

After Jesus healed me, I could plow 

all day and could walk from jour to jour- 

teen miles to and from church each night. 

Previously I was not able to stay up until 

nine o’clock one night each week. It 

seemed -that I was now living in a new 

world among new people. 

* * * 

THE LORD WILL GUIDE 

After I was saved and filled with the 

Spirit, the Lord began teaching me to 

trust Him for guidance, even in the httle 

details of life. One night I was riding 

Old Lidge, a twenty-five-year-old, barebacked, 

tough-mouthed, stubborn mule 

through those mountain roads, which all 

looked alike, when I lost .my way to a 

cottage prayer meeting. After trying a 

long time to keep him from going home, 

I decided to just turn him loose and pray. 

Old Lidge turned off each road just right 

and carried me to the door of the prayermeeting, 

stopping at the gate. If God can 

guide a naule. we should not be more stubborn 

than OZd Lidge. 

I was determined to pray three‘ times 

each day as Daniel did, and I prayed for 

God to let me go through something as 

Job did, so I could show Him how I loved 

Him by trusting Him. I prayed for hours 

at a time with my face in the leaves, pinestraw 

or the cotton-seed. God saved many 

of the roughest boys in that country. One 

lady-told me that she did not approve’ of 

her boy running with me, after I had 

helped him get saved and filled with the 

Spirit. She said she wanted him to make 

a mark in the world. He joined the army 

and was lost in battle after he backslid. 

. * I C 

SAW FIRST “HEALING CAMPAIGY 

Sometime after I had been called to 

the ministry and was pastoring a church, 

I heard that several of my members and 

some other neighbors were going to 

Shreveport, Louisiana, to a “Healer.” 1 

will admit that something within me re. 

belled against the thought. One ot them 

gave me a magazine called “THE. VOICE 

OF HEALING” which was publwhed in 

Shreveport. After I read this I saw no 

one claimed to be a “HEALER.” I chang- 

ed my mind and told them I believed I 

would go along with them. I felt im- 

pressed of the Lord to carry otherc who 

needed healing. 

There I saw Brother and Sister Gor- 

don Lindsay and Brother Hall and a girls’ 

trio for my first time. I was amazed as I 

saw the results that took place in tha: 

“Healing Campaign.” It seemed ldce Bc 

ble Days were here again. The only fault 

I could find was they were doing many 

times as much as I was. Then when I saw 

the group who responded to the altar- 

call my heart cried out, “That is just 

what the world needs today!” People were 

there from far and near. I stepped to the 

phone and told my wife I would not be 

home as early as I had planned. But I 

stayed and observed this, and realized 

that it was what my heart had always 

cried out for. 

I went back happy because my mem- 

bers received marvelous healings. It would 

have been so easy for me to get up and 

preach against ’‘HEALERS’’ the next Sun- 

day morning. But I am so glad I went and 

found it to be just what I had been try- 

ing to do, but on a much larger scale. It 

is better to get a hundred souls saved 

than one. 

From that day the desire to 8tay thew 

and toil for weeks to get two or three 

saved left me. I decided that I would stay 

‘Ln my room and pray two hours each 

morning and two hours each afternoon. 

“FASTING AND PRAYER” 

Up to that time I had been against Iong 

fasts, and I am yet, unless God leads in

that direction. I had never fasted over 

four days. After getting a preacher to 

take care of my church, I shut myseli up 

in a room and fasted the number of days 

that God directed. 

On the laat day of t.he fmt, the V0+6 

of the Lord spoke plainly to me. I unll 

not tell you what it said, but you can read 

it in Nark 16:17-18. It is so real when 

God speaks a verse direct to you. I would 

not take a thousand worlds for that ex. 

perience. It was somethinE I had been 

waiting on to happen for seventeen years 

as I prayed and waited. It was just what 

I believed always, even .before I was 

saved. I have had no new revelation. 

I did not know exactly all that God 

had done for me at that tpme until later. 

Immedaately, I saw people healed of heart 

trouble, camer, arthritis, and several 

things. People were delivered from whis- 

key and cigarettes surprising the neigh- 

bors. The Sunday School went to twice as 

much as it was when we came there, and 

people came for miles to be prayed for. 

Several were delivered from the hospitals. 

One night God gave me a vision about 

my future connection with “THE VOICE 

OF HEALING’ Magazine, even giving 

me the new address which they now have. 

No one knew about it then, as far as I 

know.

By L. 4). Waldon 

Chairman, Campaign Committee 

OD HAS marvelously poured out 

G His Spirit on Monroe, Louisiana, 

for the last four weeks in the Grant 

Revival, under the Big Gospel tent. 

Groups of hungry people came down 

the sawdust trails each night seeking 

God, some nights as many as two hun 

dred. 

At every service, people have recelved 

definite experiences with God, caving 

from many surrounding commumties, 

towns, denominations, c h u r c h e s , and 

states. It is impossible to know the exact 

number that tarried into the wee hours 

of the nights who were saved and filled 

with the Holy Ghost. They were saved 

and filled in the isles, standing around 

the pulpit. kneeling in the tent, in the 

prayer room, in the prayer-tent, during 

the service before preaching, and in the 

healing lines. Several old people who had 

never been ‘saved before surrendered to 

God. This revival has helped churches for 

miles away. Each night we witnessed as 

much happening as in many whole re- 

vivals elsewhere. 

Fifty.& (561 people stood one night 

testifying that they had been healed an 

the audience. without hands laid on them. 

According to testimonies given, some of 

the ailments which disappeared instantly 

were scums over the eye balls, burst ear 

drums, growths, cancers, stifP joints, 

goiters, tumors, total deaf ears, cist, en- 

larged heart, arthritis, rheumatism, T. B., 

etc. Crutches, hearing aids, eye glasses, 

braces, casts, trusses, and such are not 

needed any more. 

Several deaf mutes were healed so com- 

pletely they could hear a watch tick. 

Sense of smell was restored which had 

been gone for’many years. A girl who 

had never breathed through her nose was 

healed instantly. A girl with polio, who 

was wearing braces from her hip down 

and could not walk, came back walking. 

Several who could not walk are now 

walking. 

This revival has brought persecution, 

even large head lines in the paper, but 

a great revival spirit to the churches, 

with people praying through in the reg 

ular service of every cooperating church. 

Mag the effects of this last until Jesus 

comes!

THE MIRACULOUS IN ALLEN REVIVAL 

“PENTECOSTAL RNIVAL” 

Rev. Harley M. Smith (Pastor, Alton Gos-

“Signs and wonders were the talk 

of the day.” “The lame walk, the deaf 

hear, and the sick are made whole!” 

These reports were talked of in the 

factory, on the bus, in the office, as 

well as in the churches. This was the 

greatest move of God I have ever wit- 

nessed, declared by many to be the 

greatest revival this area has ever 

known. 

God ordered the services, and Gifts 

of the Spirit were manifest, so that men 

declared, ‘THIS IS GOD.’ We felt we were 

living the Book of Acts over in 1952. 

The sick came by hundreds, and great 

numbers went away declaring their heal- 

ing. Testimonies are still coming in. 

Crowds thronged the altar nightly for 

salvation, and deliverance from demons 

and habits.

From the first service the approval 

of God was upon the great Allen

is well balanced and greatly annointed; 

Many souls were saved, filled, and many 

miracles were wrQught by the miracle 

working power of God. Night after night 

the supernatural gifts were in operation 

in power, knowledge, and eloquence. 

The Allen party has the respect and 

admiration of all the ministers of our 

fellowship. We especially appreciate the 

honest above-board method of the handling 

of finances in the Allen meeting and 

his heartfelt consideration of all the 

churches. 

All our churches have been greatly 

benefitted, by this great meeting.

HAYES MINISTRY ATTAINS . 

NEW HEIGHTS IN DALLAS 

VANGELIST ALTON L. HAYES 

E held one of the most fruitful and 

outstanding revivals for us last November 

in the history of our church. 

As Pastor, I feel qualified to say his 

meeting did more to revive our people 

than any previous one. It was well attended, 

in spite of the fact that the State Fair 

was on at the time. This is significant because 

the church is located just one-half 

mile from the grounds where the fair is 

held, and a traffic problem figures in. By 

actual count, more new people attended 

this revival than any three previous ones 

combined. 

Souls were saved, baptized with the 

Holy Spirit, and many miracles of healing 

wrought by the power of God; among 

them were the uncrossing of eyes, demon 

powers cast out, diabetics healed, ulcerat! 

sd stomachs, tumors and other afflictions 

are gone. 

Since that revival, our church has been 

moving on, every Department of the work 

shows growth, and a fresh quickening. A 

more pronounced revival spirit never prevailed 

in our church. 

Therefore, it again affords us great 

pleasure to have the Second Salvation-Divine 

Healing Campaign, conducted by 

EvangelistpHayes and his party, in our 

assembly n-early one year later. 

From the beginning of the meeting, on 

Tuesday night, September 23, the Divine 

hand of God has been noted, and its prevalence 

proves to be the signal for fresh 

release of supernatural power and spir-

itual soul-drenching. Surges of omnipo- 

tence in each service furnish the source 

of power to effect “loosing the bands of 

wickedness, undoing heavy burdens, and 

to let the oppressed go free, and break 

ing every yoke.” (Isa. 58:6) 

Outstanding miracles, many healings 

and deliverances continue to be wrought 

by the hand of God through this faithfuI 

servant. 

Through the anointed ministry of Bro- 

ther Hayes, physical and spiritual bar- 

riers, and maladies are discerned; in some 

instances the actual length of their ex. 

istence is revealed. Then follows the re- 

lease from their fetters and yokes of the 

oppressed, which proves a marvel to be- 

hold. 

h-ight after night the tidal waves of 

glory rise to crescive heights, and God 

continues to confirm His Word with signs 

following. The humility and sincerity of 

this man of God, coupled with his com- 

passion for the needy impresses the hearts 

of ‘all, and his ministry will always re- 

main, as a blessing, to all who ,have heard 

him. 

The attendance and interest is gratC 

lying. Extra accommodations were re- 

quired after the first few nights and we 

are now planning to secure a larger build- 

ing to house the services. 

We sincerely believe this revival cam- 

paign and the ministry of Brother Hayes 

has proven prodigious and most bene- 

ficial to this assembly. Truly “The Lord 

hath done wonderful things for us, where- 

of we are glad!”

After you prayed for him the second 

time, you said you felt six demons leave 

him and he has been able to speak and 

to tell us what he wants without signs

Now, instead of running from one who 

can pray for his healing. he runs to them.

Healing Power of God, I have been 

amazed at what God has done for Har-

He is so wonderful, and precious I don’t 

see how anyone can not love Him! “I’d 

rather have Jesus than anything this 

world affords today!” 

Only Jesus can take a life that is 

wrecked by the powers of satan and make 

it worth living. Only Jesus Christ can set 

the captive free!

REV. RUSSELL PARK 

MIGHTY IMPACT FELT 

IN SHERMAN, TEXAS 

By Rev. .C. R. Dale 

Revival Chairman 

HE DOORS of, the big city audi- 

Ttorium in Spearman, Texas, are 

closed and the crowds are gone, but 

the revival spirit and new born souls 

remain as evidence of the greatest 

union revival of Full Gospel people 

since the early day of Pentecost in 

the Panhandle of Texas. 

The Full Gospel churches ob the Pan- 

handle were looking forward to the re- 

vival with keen anticipation and .’they 

were not disappointed as night after 

night Bro. Park brought fearless authori- 

tative messages, under the mighty anoint- 

ing power of the Holy Ghost. 

People from every church in the city 

came, numbers were saved and filled with 

the Holy Ghost. Many were healed by the 

p e r of God and delivered from powers 

of evil as Bro. Russell B. Park prayed for 

them. 

The best of fellowship and understand- 

ing existed between the four co-operat- 

ing Pastors and the Evangelistic Party. 

Rev. Albert Durham of Wichita, Kansas, 

had charge of the afternoon services and 

Bro. Henry Pletcher directed the singing. 

As Bro. Park stepped to the microphone 

and began to sing, “That they all might 

be one was His prayer,” every old tradi- 

tion and doctrine of men, our difference 

of opinion and petty ideas were dropped 

like a shabby old coat at the door, as the 

poet has said, and by the time Bro. Park 

reached the chorus, “Isn’t He wonderful, 

wonderful, wonderful,” we were all of one 

accord and singing with him. 

Satan will not soon recover nor heaven 

forget the mighty impact against the 

forces of evil that was waged for those 

three weeks in Spearman, Texas. Only 

eternity will reveal what this mighty 

awakening, and moving of the Spirit has 

brought forth.

MIGRAIN HEADACHES GONE 

AFTER TWO YEARS of praying, the

into my home to live during the revival 

and words cannot ex-

they have been to 

me. I p ray that I 

have been a blessing 

to them, too. 

On June 19, 1952, 

I was healed in Bro.

Texas. I had a mas-

cut my ear drum and 

I had never heard a 

sound out of it until 

Bro. Park prayed for 

me on the night of 

June 19th. 1952. Aft-

perfectly. 

Not only this but I had had migrain 

headaches for which I took Histimine 

sfiots for over two years. I have not 

taken a shot of Histamine since that night 

in June. 

Praise the Lord for His healing and 

the blessings I received during the Park

daily prayer.

CONVULSIONS HEALED 

1 WANT to praise my glorious Lord for 

healing me. I had terrible pains in the 

right side of my head that felt like it 

would take the top off my head. 

After suffering that way for two weeks 

I began having convulsions when I would 

lie down. I would have to turn my head 

so easy after I lay down or I would have 

another convulsion and when I would get 

up I would go side ways and backwards. 

I dreaded for night to come. 

After hearing Brother Russell B. Park 

preach and study* Gordon Lindsay’s 

book on healing and rea- the Bible 

I knew God would heal me. 

Brother Park prayzd for me and I was 

healed. I am happy to say I haven’t been 

sick since. Praise the Lord.

measles when she 

was 4, which settled 

in her left ear. This 

condition w a s com- 

plicated as it ran into 

mastoiditis. She did 

not have an ear 

drum and the ear 

discharged all the 

time. The doctor was 

afraid to operate. 

Rose Mary was 

only six weeks old 

when her trouble be-

mastoid trouble. She, 

too. was totally deaf 

in her right ear and 

had no ear drum. It 

had been punctured 6 or 7 times by the 

doctor. Her ear also discharged all the 

time. Last October the drainage began 

settling in her jaw and it had to be 

lanced four times within a period of eight 

months. 

In June of 1952, Brother Russell B.

WITNESS MIRACLES 

By Rev. Wilbur C. Bond, Pastor 

Assembly of God Church, Springville, N.Y. 

S gone, all gone, I know my heart 

‘‘F 

IS healed.” 

“Look! I can move my fingers perfectly; 

all the arthritis is gone.“ 

“Yes, Sir, I ??,a“ hear you behind me, 

even a whisper. 

“Sir, I want to say I am 75 years old, 

and for 27 years have had a bad rupture. 

When I felt for it just now, it was gone.” 

These are a few of the wonderful things 

people are saying in Springville, New 

York, since the L. C. Robie, “BIBLE SAL- 

VATION AND HEALING MEETING“ AU- 

gust 17th-September 14th. 

Conviction for a need of Christ as the 

only way of salvation gripped people ev- 

ery night. Many sought Him “Who is 

able.to save unto the uttermost.” 

The power to heal surged through these 

meetings. The lame, arthritic, deaf, blind, 

ruptured, chronic ailments, spinal cases, 

and other internal disorders were im- 

proved, healed or suddenly delivered. 

One notable healing was that of Mrs. 

Burt Skinner who was able to flex her 

arthritic fingers and hear remarkably bet- 

ter after prayer, thus she was encour- 

aged to believe GOD would heal her right 

eye which was injured 78 years before, 

- c. -.* 

- 

causing total blindness. Did God do it? 

HE DID! 

When Brother Robie prayed, she said: 

“I can sPe the lights on the ceiling . . . 

now, the clock! . . the people, their 

clothing . . . Oh, Praise God! I can see, 

I can see in both of my eyes, now!” 

Marilyn Townsend, of Boston, New 

York, heard her watch tick for the first 

time in her life. 

A lady from Duboii, Pennsylvania, 

heard that Brother (Robie was here. and 

came on the train to the meeting, to be 

prayed for. She was almost stone deaf 

but, after prayer by Brother Robie, went 

away hearing perfectly normally.

Glory of God. 

The spirit of revival is burning.on af-

these things is apparent, creating the be-

not an end in itself. Crowds are so intoxi-

REV. GREEN 

BIBLE CENTERED REVIVAL 

COMES TO GRANTS PASS 

By Norene C. Nicholts, Co-pestor 

Assembly of God-Grants Pass, Oregon 

VANGEUST PHILIP N. GREEN 

E was in. the Revival Center Taber- 

nacle, Grants Pass, Oregon, for three 

wonderful weeks, August 10 through 

31. What has been accomplished only 

time and eternity will reveal, for 

Brother Green’s ministry mightily exalts 

the Word of God which continues to grow 

and bring forth fruit as time goes on. 

Never have we heard a minister who 

stresses the reading of the Bible as he 

does which, in itself, brings salvation, 

healing, health, long life, deliverance, pros- 

perity, blessing, etc. 

In Brother Green’s own words, which 

I quote, is the full expression of the type 

of meetings that we have richly enjoyed: 

”My meetings are more Biblecentered 

than they are evangelhtically-centred, 

they are more Biblecentered than they are 

miraclecentmed, they are more Bible- 

Genbered thin they are %reen’-cenbmd.” 

Brother Green has infinite patience in 

dealing with the sick and nevq stops un- 

til all in the prayer line have been prayed 

for. He deals individually with the afflic- 

ted, taking time to encourage them in 

faith. He never seems to be in a hurry 

with anyone. Many times we heard him 

ask folks where their pains, aches and 

sorenesses were before praying for them 

and, when they tried tn find them, they 

were already gone. He would laugh and 

say that he knew they had already been 

healed before they got to him, but he 

wanted them to discover it for themselves. 

Here are some testimonies of heallngs 

that took place in these meetings: Mrs. 

Virginia Westerman, Murphy Stage Road, 

Box 73A, Grants Pass, Oregon, asked 

prayer for an internal condition, but 

found that God healed her not only of 

that but also of ha fever. allergy and 

lack af appetite. A &a1 doctor, Dr. Wjl- 

lJam Mo?re. is the one who had diagnosed 

her condiQon. 

Fred L. Ward, Grants Pass Hotel, 

Grants Pass, Oreg~n, was haled of a 

broken bone-the short bone from the hip 

to the spine which had been broken since 

the first World War. The doctor told him 

that nothing could be done and to never 

allow surgery or he would be a cripple.

Also, at the same the. he was mznp1etely 

healed of sinus trouble. 

Beulah Sallee, P.O. Box 669, Grants 

pass, Oregon, was n&aiulously healed of 

a short leg. It was three quarters of an 

inch shorter than the other leg, and all 

of her shoes had to be built u.g to give 

her proper balance. When healed; she 

could not wear any of her shoes, so she 

took them to the same shoe repair man 

who built them up for her to have them 

lowered, This proved to be B real testi- 

mony to him of the miracle working 

power of God. 

Brother Green held Bible Study classes 

each morning from 1O:OO to 11:OO. Mon- 

day through Friday, for two weeks. He 

used large blackboard charts in colored 

chalk by which he made the Bible live. 

Having been a teacher in college, he is 

well fitted for this type of work. Never 

were the clssses dull or dead but rather 

vibrant with life and interesting as well 

as instructive. We had an average of 95 

in attendance for the two-week period. 

Brother Green is planning to make these 

classes an outstanding part of every de- 

liverance meetina. 

O N 

TWIN HEALED OF POLIO 

JULY 21, my daughter, a twin,. who 

.is nearly two years o1d;was stncken 

with polio. Our pastor was gone, so my 

sister called her Foursquare pastor in to 

pray. God spared her lie on the fourth 

day, and also delivered her from being a 

cri~nlle. as the entire left side of her body 

was paralyzed and 

limbs were crippled. 

Later, our pastor 

also prayed and all 

pain left her body. 

Three weeks later, 

Brother Philip Green 

prayed for her and 

she began walking 

alone on August 22. 

Her healing was 

all gradual, that is, 

she first learned to 

hold her head up, 

then her back, then 

she sat up alone, and 

it wasn’t long after 

God straightened her 

leg out, until she began 

walking by herself; and now people 

ask me, when they see the twins, “Whlch 

one had the polio?” 

Thank God for His faithful servants, 

who first of all prayed God to deliver me 

from fear, so I could have faith also, and 

have courage to refuse all attacks of the 

devil concerning this child. God also delivered 

me from this disease the very day 

it tried to fasten itself upon me. Praise 

God for Bible deliverance!

of Pentecost. , 

We began ‘on Saturday night in Gra- 

ham Street with Pastor Burton Haynes 

delivering. the first message. Pastor Dyke 

then introduced Brother Green, a univer- 

sity graduate with tGro degrees who, until 

June, 1950, taught philosophy and psy 

chology. At that time God spoke to him 

and said that if he would give pp.all his 

books and read the Bible onIy, He would 

grant him miracles of healing. God has 

granted these things and people were 

healed in every Divine heahg service 

during the convention. 

People from all aver the Midlands made 

their way to the Town Hall on Monday, 

and there was also a coach lpad from 

Hayes and Ealing for the three grand 

meetings. The morning devotional service 

thrilled us as Pastors Gorton and Burton- 

Haynes spoke on the unfailing resources 

of God. In the afternoon missionary rally 

Pastor Lewis outlined India’s great need, 

and impressed ‘on us the necessity of pray- 

ing, :giving and going. Brother Green then 

took over, gave a brief exliort.ation; then 

prayed for scores oP people who joined 

what he termed “The D.eliverance Line.” 

Faith was inspired as sick people recov- 

ered, and .the, number desiring deliverance 

was so great that it was soon ,time to 

commence the evening service, and many 

sick friends could not be prayed for. 

The‘evening service will not be soon 

forgotten; the anointed singing of the 

‘united Crusader Choir; the duets of Pas- 

tor and Mrs. Gorton; Pastor Burton- 

Haynes’ warning to .young people and. 

finally, explosions, as B r o t h e r Green 

preached on “Spiritual Dynamite.” It was 

an inspiring scene to see people discard- 

ing their deaf-aids, glasses tor “nose- 

crutches” to use Brother Green’s term). 

Some of the outstanding cases of heal- 

ing, were the following:

JACK COE- CHILDREN'S HOME IS SCENE. 

OF SOUL-STIRRING CAMP MEETING 

By Rev. H. Donald Skelton 

Pastor. Victory Assembly of God Church 

Dallas, Texas 

ALLAS HAS BEEN FAVORED 

D with a mighty visitation of God's 

miracle working power. 

The great Herald of Healing Chil- 

dren's Home Camp Meeting, which 

was scheduled to last for only two 

weeks, was carried on for an extra 

week because of the tremendous re- 

sponse. 

Words fail me to 

describe it in its en- 

tirety. S u c h Spirit 

anointed preaching, 

and God confirmed 

His Word with signs 

following! How privi- 

leged we were to 

hear these men of 

mighty faith minis- 

ter (should we men- 

tion names?). Sucn a 

host of them. 

WAVES OF GLORY 

Who will forget 

the tr e m e n d o u s 

waves of glory andvictory that swcpt 

over the vast congregations of thousands 

of people who night after night were in 

attendance! I am in my fifteenth year as 

a pastor in the City of Dallas and, in 

many respects, this is the greatest meet- 

ing ever held in this city. 

DAY SERVICES EDIFIED BELIEVERS 

A word must be said about the day ser- 

vices when hundreds of believers gathered 

to receive from God His choicest bless- 

ings. The gifts of the Spirit were much 

in operation in all the meetings, but es- 

pecially for the edifying of the Body of 

Christ in the great day services. 

MIRACULOUS HEALINGS WITNESSED 

Miracles, healings, signs and woleders? 

One lady came from Pt. Worth, Texas, a 

member of the Episcopal Church, who 

was dying with. cancer, had been given 

just a few more days to.live by the doc- 

tors. After prayer, she ran doum the isle 

of the tent to the outside. She came back 

to the services three days later and gave 

her testimony of how God had healed her 

so miraczblousl?) and she had gained five 

pomds 4 the three days. She came often 

to tlte services after her healing, testified 

and praised God for complete healiag. . 

Many who were brought to the services 

on stretchers were healed and walked to 

their cars to go home, much to the amaze- 

ment of ambulance attendants who had 

brought them. 

MANY BLESSED Id GfiING 

Never have I witnessed such a spirit of 

giving as was manifested among the peo- 

ple in this great Camp Meeting. Many 

gave generously and sacrificially, but 

were rewarded and blessed of the Lord, 

as many testified to getting thelr money 

back in miraculous and unexpected ways, 

many-fold in a great number of cases. I, 

personally, had a wonderful expcrience in 

that manner. To God be all the glory and 

praise.

WDAY, JUNE 27,1952 

This is London, and the historic 

nildings clustered at its heart in 

Nestminster .are bathed in summer 

;unshine as the crowds gather for the 

ong awaited World Conference of 

’entecostal Churches. Facing the 

Zentral Hall, famous venue for the 

irst meetings of the United Nations 

Irganization, is the noble West front

jATURDAY, JUNE 28. 

The finest o en-air meeting I ever at- 

ended in my h e was held in Trafalgar 

;quare this afternoon in connection with 

)up Conference, and that in spite of al- 

nost insupportable heat rising from the 

;tone-flagged S uare. John Carter (Eng- 

and) led; R&h Cranstpn (Canada)

touch in the way Percy Brewster (Wales)

to watch an expert in anything. Thank 

2od for some immediate decisions for

An American Pentecostal wedding in 

3t. Margaret’s, Westminster! Who would 

have believed it! But this afternoon Anna 

lane Moore, of the “Voioe of Healing,” 

was married there to Domld Blaii Price. 

I heard reports of a wonderful dinner in 

Regent Street. 

Some choice ministry in song preceded 

?e great public evening meeting in the 

,entral Hall, led by Geo. Stormont at 

Fhich there were powerful addresses by 

U. Wessels (South Africa) and Ray 

Hughes (U.S.A.), the latter given with 

that dynamic power of utterance that 

often marks our grand younger preachers. 

The Conference is warming up and becom- 

ing more and more Pentecostal. 

MONDAY, JUNE 30. 

Could not get to the second open-air 

witness in Trafalgar Square last night, 

but hear it was very good. This morning 

we commence the serious business of the 

Conference, but first of all are blessed 

by a devotional message from Lewi Pe- 

thms of Sweden. How good to have among 

us these Pentecostal fathers in Christ, 

loved and respected throughout the World. 

Wellings presides in the evening, when 

Brother Thomas of Paris gives us a bril- 

liant example of interpreting at its best 

as he passes on to us a burning message 

from A. Thomas-Bres of France. We are 

rocking with the sheer joy of it. John 

Carter (England) follows with a message 

in clear, measured tones that makes listen- 

ing a pleasure. His text is Heb. 13% and

WORLD PENTECOSTAI CONFERENCE

WESTMINSTER ABBEY, LONDON 

he well describes it as the “halo” so often 

behind the speaker‘s head on the walls of 

our Pentecostal churches. 

TUESDAY, JULY 1. 

At devotions this morning Roswell 

Flower (U.S.A.) introduces to us dear old 

Elder Mason, the 87-year-old leader of the 

big coloured Church of God in Christ de- 

nomination of America. His little claps are 

infectious, and we should like to see him 

all-out preaching to the coloured folk. 

Elder Mason mived his baptism in 6he 

Holy Spirit in Asum Street Mission in 

1906 and must be one of the very few now 

left who knew that IMstoric revival. I am 

struck by the fine appearance of Elder 

Crouch and others of these coloured 

Pentecostal leaders. And what rich voices! 

What a world-wide revival this surely is. 

WEDNESDAY, JULY 2. 

Abilenes Schoeman (South Africa) in 

charge of devotions. We have a choice 

treat this morning Virith the presence and 

ministry of Rolf Macpherson and his 

charming wife, brna, the leaders of 

“Foursquaredom” from the famous Ange- 

lus Temple, Los Angeles. Our esteemed 

brother recalls his previous visit to En@ 

land with his famous mother when he was 

but a youth. They have a great welcome 

to the World Conference. 

The Conference strikes fire this morn- 

ing as we begin to discuss “Religious 

Freedom and Persecution.” The delegation 

from Italy moves every heart. Reuben 

Das reminds us that India has its prob- 

lems also, and mention is made of South 

America and some other European coun- 

tries. Carefully worded proposals are pre- 

sented by Noel Perkin. One English 

brother wants us to send an immediate 

delegation across to the Roman Catholic 

Cardinal. Ultimately the Conference de- 

cides on appointing a strong Committee 

of three, with an Advisory Committee of 

four others, to make representations to 



f 

appropriate Government departments in 

the name of the World-wide Pentecostal 

Movements. Another decision is to appoint 

a Day of Prayer and Fasting, and 

this is finally increased to Ten Days and 

fixed for September 21 to 30. 

In the evening Samuel German( Brit. 

ain) gives a masterly message on the 

Cross, striking in homiletios, perfect in 

diction, and above all anointed by the 

Spirit of God. We thank God for such 

able Pentecostal preachers on the central 

theme of the Gospel. They are our glory 

in Christ. 

THURSDAY, JULY 3. 

Samuel Nystrom (Sweden) leads devotions, 

and we meet for the first time in 

our World Conferences, N. F. Coughran, 

Overseer of the Pentecostal Church of 

God, U.S.A.. who brings the morning message. 

Donald Gee takes over for the Con 

ference and after some more powerful 

contributions to the debate we adopt some 

important resolutions aimed at assisting 

our Pentecostal brethren struggling for 

religious liberty. Later we discuss the 

Reports from yesterday’s Groups. The 

level of speaking is higher now; and how 

obedient are the speakers to that tinkle 

from the Chairman’s bell that tells them 

their five minutes are up! 

Fred Squire presides at another great 

evening meeting, when the speakers are 

Noel Perkin (U.S.A.); Miss Hattie Hammond 

(Just back from ministry in Northern 

Europe); and Hugh Dawson of Eng 

land. During this meeting a message is 

sent to Her Majesty the Queen conveying 

sincere greetings and assurances of prayer 

from representatives of twentyfive nations 

gathered in the World Pentecostal 

Conference. A11 stand as the message is 

put to the meeting by Donald Gee and 

f ormaUy adopted. ’ 

FRIDAY. JULY 4. 

Leonard Steiner leads devotions, and we 

are blessed by a morning masage from 

H. L. Chesser, General Overseer of the 

Church of God, U.S.A., Roswell Flower 

takes over for the valuable =ports from 

yesterday afternoon’s study Groups. We 

all like this Group method mom and 

more. 

Now comes one of the bombshells of 

the Conference, as David J. du Plessis 

first gives us his report of his last three 

years’ activities as Secretary of the Conference, 

and then tells us that he definitely 

feels the time has come for him to lay his 

office down.-There is no doubt about the 

appreciation expressed by various speakers 

for the vast amount of travelling and 

work our esteemed brother has devoted to 

the cause of furthering world-wide unity 

among Pentecostal Groups. A love-offering 

is taken to help our brother with his 

expenses for his journey home. 

We wish it could have been’an even 

more generous token of our love and 

gratitude. David J. du Plessis has been a 

man when the Lord burdened by the Holy 

Spirit for the cause of unity, and the fact 

of many new Pentecostal Groups being 

represented for the first time was visible 

proof that his efforts have not been !n 

vain. We are happy that we shall still 

enjoy his fellowship, even if no loyger in 

his omcial capacity. 

During the long period taken in count-. 

ing the votes, the Editor of “PentecosO’ 

‘ (Contiwed on Page 18) 

17

DELEGATE DIARY . . . (from p. 17) 

gives his report. This is enthusiastically 

received. The circulation is growing stead- 

ily (though many more subscribers could 

be added in America) and the paper is 

free of debt. The Editor rejoices at giving 

his services freely, and pays warm tribute 

to the co-operation of F. B. Phillips, the 

General Manager of the Victory Press. 

John Carter moves a hearty vote of 

thanks, and this is immediately adopted. 

Donald Gee is asked to continue editing 

and publishing the magazine on the same 

basis as heretofore. Everybody seems 

happy. 

Now the Conference is made happy by 

a hearty invitation to hold the next trien- 

nial World Conference of Pentecostal 

Churches in the great FiladelAa Church 

in Sboclrholm, Sweden. This is accepted 

with acclamation. Memories of the Euro- 

pean Conference there in 1939 make older 

brethren anticipate with zest a return to 

Stockholm in 1955, if God permit. But 

how much might happen before then! 

FRIDAY EVENING. 

A friendly Swiss car drives me over 

Westminster Bridge to the Royal Fes- 

tival Hall shining in beauty, though mod- 

ernistic in design, on the South Bank. 

Over a hurried tea by the River Thames 

my Swiss friends are reminded (dimly?) 

of the Lake of Zurich. 

This is my first visit to the famous 

hall, and its appointments leave me breath- 

less. The word “magnificent” seems, for 

once, to be fully justified. It is superb. 

What a thrilling sight to see it packed 

from floor to farthest gallery with a sea 

of faces. There is not an empty seat. 

H. W. GreEnway presides, and we imme- 

diately sense the perfection of the acous- 

tics. Its walls soon ring with the praises 

of Jesus. E. C. W. Boulton (England) 

leads us in devotion-and who more fitted 

so to do? The London Crusader Choir, 

under the direction of Douglas B. Gray, 

renders exquisite musical ministry. The 

four speakers are Gayle Lewis (U.S.A.), 

‘ James Salter (Congo Evangelistic Mis- 

sion) Reuben Das (India) and Fred Squire 

(Engiand). Thank God that sou!s are won 

for Christ on this historic occasion for the 

Pentecostal Churches-and also for the 

Royal Festival Hall. 

A simultaneous meeting is being held in 

the Central Hall, Westminster, under the 

leadership of F. R. Barnes (London), and 

we hear of surprisingly good numbers in 

spite of the other great attraction. Min- 

istry and testimony is supplied by Mrs. 

Roswell Flower (U.S.A.), H. B. Garlock 

(Missionary to West Africa), W. D. Up- 

shaw (Ex-Congressman, U.S.A.), and John 

Dyke (England). At both meetings the 

four speakers stress respectively four as- 

pects of our distinctive witness-Revival, 

Missions, the Supernatural and Evange- 

lism. 

SATURDAY, JULY 5. 

The audience is delighted .when Mrs. 

Robert Brown of New York is introduced 

as the second speaker. “Glad Tidings” Tab- 

ernacle gave $38,000 (about 14.000 pounds) 

last year to foreign missions. And dare we 

publish it, Sister Brown told us that she 

is 71 years of age. Who would have 

thought it as we felt the vitality of her 

ministry? Her text was I1 Kings 4:2- 

“What hast thou in the house?” She re- 

minded us that only by pouring OUT 

what we already have can we ensure God’s 

continued Pentecostal supply. 

The last speaker is Gordon Lindsay 

(U.S.A), Ohe Editor of “THE VOICE OF 

HEALING.” With rapt attention the great 

audience listens as he tells how God led 

him from smaller things into a fruitful 

Aeld of successful evangelism by means of 

the “sign-gifts” of Divine healing 60 con- 

Arm the Word. His powerful message 

concludes with an appeal thst brhm

OAK CLIFF ASSEMBLY OF GOD 

CHURCH 

919 Morrell Ave., Dallas, Texas 

ple streaming to the altar with divers 

needs from all over the building. 

Then-“JESUS SHALL REIGN 

WHERE-ER THE SUN” peals out with 

full organ as a closing hymn of adoration 

from the World Pentecostal Conference. 

Long after the prayer of dismissal has 

been uttered the long line of sick stream 

up to be prayed for by Brothers Lindsay, 

Green, and others. 

“Where He displays His healing 

power, 

Death and the curse are known no 

more; 

In Him the tribes of Adam boast 

More blessings than their father 

lost.” 

With those victorious words the third, 

and by very far the largest, World Con- 

ference of Pentecostal Churches passes 

into history. They are a fitting climax to 

the Conference Theme-“INTO ALL THE 

WORLD.” 

SYMPTOMS . . . (from p. 16) 

have taken them (Greek), and ye shall 

have them.” 

Consider again that devil’s hateful trin- 

ity mentioned above-swellings and sores 

and pains. . . . How dreadful and threat- 

ening they are! They are like the three 

“sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and 

Talmai,” Josh. 15: 14, fearsome giants, 

who terrorized the people of God for 

years, and challenged their entry into 

the Land of Promise. Of these the terri- 

fied spies said (the unbelieving spies, who 

went into the Land to see IF God’s prom- 

ise was true-instead of believing it), 

“There we saw the giants, the sons of 

Anak: and we were in our own sight as 

grasshoppers, and so were we in their 

sight.” But had not God already said, 

“Thou shalt not be afraid of them,” 

though they were “a people great and 

tall, whom thou knowest, and of whom 

thou hast heard say, Who can stand be- 

fore the children of Anak! Understand 

therefore this day, that the Lord thy God 

is he which goeth over before thee; as 

a consuming fire he shall destroy them, 

and he shall bring them down before thy 

face: so shalt thou drive them out, and 

destroy them quickly, as the Lord thy 

God hath said unto thee!” Deut. 9:2, 3. Is 

not that wonderful encouragement! There- 

fore courageous Caleb (“whose faith fol- 

low”) prayed: “If so be the Lord will be 

with me, then I shall be able to drive 

them out, as the Lord hath said.” Thus, 

testifying to his faith and the faithful- 

ness of God, we triumphantly read that 

“Caleb drove thence the three sons of 

Anak, Sheshai, and Ahzman, and Talmai.” 

Josh. 15:14. 

So, beloved child of God, if you too 

are molested by those modern “sons of 

Anak,” Pains and Swellings and Sores; 

if after prayer they have persistently 

plagued you and challenged your entry 

into the Promised Land of Health; now- 

in the Name of the Lord, take victory, 

over them, and, like Caleb, drive them 

off your territory. Or rather, accept the 

fact that they are driven off long ago 

by a Mightier than Caleb. They are beaten 

at Calvary, and you are free from their 

power as you stand in faith. Arise in 

victory now. Slip past the beaten bullies. 

Do not bow to them. Do not recognize 

them. Do not see them. Ignore them. 

\.‘J&sus has dealt with them and driven 

them out of your pathway and life. Ignore 

their power and their very presence. 

Stand in Christ’s victory, and rejoice. The 

manifestation of victory will follow the 

Faith. 

It is perfectly natural to look for symp 

toms. But divine healing is perfectly 

supernatural. It is not a physical thing. 

It is, like salvation, a thing of grace. Both 

are by faith and not by sight or feeling. 

If you. look for symptoms you are- lim- 

ited by what you see. Faith leaps far 

beyond sight and lives in a realm of per- 

fect heaven-centered liberty and victory. 

Faith has X-ray eyes that see the invisible 

through the visible, the reality beyond the 

seeming. The invisible is always in Christ, 

that serene peace and health and har- 

mony in spirit, soul and body that Jesus 

died to purchase for all who believe.

MISCELLANY 

McKAY EVANGELISTIC PARTY 

MINISTERS IN MERCERSBURG 

E ARE HAPPY to report to the 

whonor and glory of God, a glorious, 

victorious revival of Bible deliverance 

here in our city, with the 

McKay Evangelistic party. 

Mercersburg, situated in the heart of 

the Cumberland Valley of Pennsylvania, 

with its surrounding community, has 

never before been so mightily awakened 

by the impact of the gospel. 

The dynamic ministry of Brother Mc- 

Kay filled the large tent night after night 

to capacity. 

The night Edith Evelyn gave her 

Heavenly Vision, the crowd was estimated 

at twenty-five hundred people. 

As Brother McKay laid hands on sick 

folk, praying the prayer of deliverance, 

diabetics were healed, blinded eyes were 

opened, the deaf made to hear and the 

dumb made to speak. I 

Numbers were gloriously saved, and 

filled with the Spirit. On one particular 

night many young people filed into the 

prayerroom for salvation and to dedicate 

their lives to the service of the Lord. 

The kind and congenial spirit of our 

precious Brother McKay has won the 

hearts of many and he leaves Mercers- 

burg with many new friends; therefore, 

he received a unanimous vote for a re- 

turn meeting in August of 1953. 

BLINDNESS HEALED 

I HAVE been blind in my left eye for 

twenty-seven years. My blindness was 

caused from pneumonia when I was a 

child. The doctor did not advise an opera. 

tion because he said it would affect the 

sight in my right eye also. Immediately 

after Rev. Valdez prayed for me I was 

able to see with’ my left eye for the first 

time in twenty-seven years. Thank God!

[We must apologize for this article be- 

ing so late, but the artwle from Brother 

David du Plessis which we had planned 

to run never arrived. Because of the great 

significance of the World Conference, we 

felt our readers would appreciate the fol- 

lowing account, even though it is rather 

late.] 

FRIDAY, JUNE 27,1952 

This is London, and the historic 

buildings clustered at its heart in 

Westminster .are bathed in summer 

sunshine as the crowds gather for the 

long awaited World Conference of 

Pentecostal Churches. Facing the 

Central Hall, famous venue for the 

first meetings of the United Nations 

Organization, is the noble West front 

of Westminster Abbey, set in the cool 

of green lawns and shady trees. Just 

behind stand the Houses of Parlia- 

ment, dominated by Big Ben. We are 

going to meet in an unrivalled natural 

setting during the next nine days. 

SATURDAY, JUNE 28. 

The finest open-air meeting I ever at- 

tended in my life was held in Trafalgar 

Square this afternoon in connection with 

our Conference, and that in spite of al- 

most insupportable heat rising from the 

stone-flagged S uare. John Carter (Eng 

land) led; RAph Cranston (Canada) 

spoke, followed by the testimon of that 

veteran in public speaking. Ex-Eongress- 

man Upshaw of the U.S.A., to his mira- 

culous healing. There was a masterly 

touch in the way Percy Brewster (Wales) 

drew the meeting to a climax. How good 

to watch an expert in anything. Thank 

God for some immediate decisions for 

Christ. 

An American Pentecoslal wedding in 

St. Margaret’s, Westminster! Who would 

have believed it! But this afternoon Anna 

Jeanne Moore, of the “Voice of Haling,” 

was married there to mmld Blair Price. 

I heard reports of a wonderful dinner in 

Regent Street. 

Some choice ministry in song preceded 

the great public evening meeting in the 

Central Hall, led by Geo. Stormont ‘at 

which there were powerful addresses by 

G. Wessels (South Africa) and Ray 

Hughes (U.S.A.), the latter given with 

that dynamic power of utterance that 

often marks our grand younger preachers. 

The Conference is warming up and becom- 

ing more and more Pentecostal. 

MONDAY, JUNE 30. 

Could not get to the second open-air 

witness in Trafalgar Square last night, 

but hear it was very good. This morning 

we commence the serious business of, the 

Conference, but first of all are blessed 

by a devotional message from Lewi Pe- 

thrus of Sweden. How good to have among 

us these Pentecostal fathers in Christ, 

loved and respected throughout the World. 

Wellings presides in the evening, when 

Brother Thomas of Paris gives us a bril- 

liant example of interpreting at its best 

as he passes on to us a burning message 

from A. Thomas-Bres of France. We are 

rocking with the sheer joy of it. John 

Carter (England) follows with a message 

in clear, measured tones that makes listen- 

ing a pleasure. His text is Heb. 1323, and

he well describes it as the “halo” so often 

behind the speaker’s head on the walls of 

our Pentecostal churches. 

TUESDAY, JULY 1. 

At devotions this morning Roswell 

Flower (U.S.A.) introduces to us dear old 

Elder Mason, the 87-year-old leader of the 

big coloured Church of God in Christ de- 

nomination of America. His little claps are 

.infectious, and we should like to see him 

all-out preaching to the coloured folk. 

Elder Mason received his baptism in the 

Holy Spirit in Asuza Street Mission in 

1906 and must be one of the very few now 

left who knew that ihistnric revivaL I am 

struck by the fine appearance of Elder 

Crouch and others of these coloured 

Pentecostal leaders. And what rich voices! 

What a world-wide revival this surely is. 

WEDNESDAY, JULY 2. 

Abilenes Schoeman (South Africa) in 

charge of devotions. We have a choice 

treat this morning Gth the presence and 

ministry of Rolf Macpherson and his 

charming wife, Lorna, the leaders of 

“Foursquaredom” from the famous Ange- 

lus Temple, Los Angeles. Our esteemed 

brother mlls his previous visit to Eng- 

land with his famous mother when he WILS 

but a youth. They have a great welcome 

e0 the World Conference. 

The Conference strikes fire this morn- 

ing as we begin to discuss “Religious 

Freedom and Persecuti on.” The delegation 

from Italy moves every heart. Reuben 

Das reminds us that India has its prob- 

lems also, and mention is made of South 

America and some other European coun- 

tries. Carefully worded proposals are pre- 

sented by Noel Perkin. One English 

brother wants us to send an immediate 

delegation across to the Roman Catholic 

Cardinal. Ultimately the Conference de- 

cides on appointing a strong Committee 

of three, with an Advisory Committee of 

four others, to make representations to 

appropriate Government departments in 

the name of the World-wide Pentecostal 

Movements. Another decision is to ap- 

point a Day of Prayer and Fasting, and 

this is finally increased to Ten Days and 

fixed for September 21 to 30. 

In the evening Samuel German( Brit- 

ain) gives a masterly message on the 

Cross, striking in homiletios, perfect in 

diction, and above all anointed by the 

Spirit of God. We thank God for such 

able Pentecostal preaehers on the central 

theme of the Gospel. They are our glory 

in Christ. 

THURSDAY, JULY 3, 

Samuel Nystrom (Sweden) leads de- 

votions, and we meet for the first time in 

our World Conferences, N. F. Coughran, 

Overseer of the Pentecostal Church of 

God, U.S.A., who brings the morning mes- 

sage. Donald Gee takes over for the Con- 

ference and after some more powerful 

contributions to the debate we adopt some 

important resolutions aimed at assisting 

our Pentecostal brethren struggling for 

religious liberty. Later we discuss the 

Reports from yesterday’s Groups. The 

level of speaking is higher now; and how 

obedient are the speakers to that tinkle 

from the Chairman’s bell that tells them 

their five minutes are up! 

Fred Squire presides at another great 

evening meeting, when the speakers are 

Noel Perkin (U.S.A.); Miss Hattie Ham- 

mond (just back from mmistry in North- 

ern Europe); and Hugh Dawson of Eng 

land. During this meeting a message is 

sent to Her Majesty the Queen conveying 

sincere greetings and assurances of prayer 

from representatives of twentyfive na- 

tions gathered in the World Pentecostal 

Conference. All stand as the message is 

put to the meeting by Donald Gee and 

formally adopted. ’ 

FRIDAY, JULY 4. 

Leonard Stainer leads devotions, and we 

are blessed by a morning mesage from 

H. L. Chesser, General Overseer of the 

Church of God, U.S.A., Roswell Flower 

takw over for the valuable reports from 

yesterday afternoon’s 5tudy Groups. We 

all like this Group method more and 

more. 

NOW comes one of the bombshells of 

the Conference, as David J. du Plessis 

first gives us his report of his last three 

years’ activities as Secretary of the Con- 

ference, and then tells us that he definitely 

feels the time has come for him to lay his 

office doyn.-There is no doubt about the 

appreciation expressed by various speak- 

ers for the vast amount of travelling and 

work our esteemed brother has devoted to 

the cause of furthering world-wide unity 

among Pentecostal Groups. A love-offer- 

ing is taken to help our brother with his 

expenses for his journey home. 

We wish it could have been an even 

more generous token of our love and 

gratitude. David J. du Plessis has been a 

man when the Lord burdened by the Holy 

Spirit for the cause of unity, and the fact 

of many new Pentecostal Groups being 

represented for the first time was visible 

proof that his efforts have not been in 

vain. We are happy that we shall still 

enjoy his fellowship, even if no longer in 

his offlcial capacity. 

During the long period taken in count-. 

ing the votes, the Editor of “Pentecost” 




DELEGATE DIARY . . . (from p. 17) 

gives his report. This is enthusiastically 

received. The circulation is growing stead- 

ily (though many more subscribers could 

be added in America) and the paper is 

free of debt. The Editor rejoices at giving 

his services freely, and pays warm tribute 

to the co-operation of F. B. Phillips, the 

General Manager of the Victory Press. 

John Carter moves a hearty vote of 

thanks, and this is immediately adopted. 

Donald Gee is asked to continue editing 

and publishing the magazine on the same 

basis as heretofore. Everybody seems 

happy. 

Now the Conference is made happy by 

a hearty invitation to hold the next triennial 

World Conference of Pentecostal 

Churches in the great Filadelfia Chplrch 

in Stockholm,a Sweden. This is accepted 

with amlamation. Memories of the European 

Conference there in 1939 make older 

brethren anticipate with zest a return to 

Stockholm in 1955, if God permit. ,But 

how much might happen before then. 

FRIDAY EVENING. 

A friendly Swiss car drives me over 

Westminster Bridge to the Royal Festival 

Hall shining in beauty, though modernistic 

in design, on the South Bank. 

Over a hurried tea by the River Thames 

my Swiss friends are reminded (dimly?) 

of the Lake of Zurich. 

This is my first visit to the famous 

hall, and its appointments leave me breathless. 

The word “magnificent” seems, for 

once, to be fully justified. It is superb. 

What a thrilling sight to see it packed 

from floor to farthest gallery with a sea 

of faces. There is not an empty seat. 

H. W. Greenway presides, and we immediately 

sense the perfection of the acoustics. 

Its walls soon ring with the praises 

of Jesus. E. C. W. Boulton (England) 

leads us in devotion-and who more fitted 

so to do? The London Crusader Choir, 

under the direction of Douglas B. Gray, 

renders exquisite musical ministry. The 

four speakers are Gayle Lewis (U.S.A,), 

James Salter (Congo Evangelistic Mission), 

Reuben Das (India) and Fred Squire 

(England). Thank God that souls are won 

for Christ on this historic occasion for the 

Pentecostal Churches-and also for the 

Royal Festival Hall. 

A simultaneous meeting is being held in 

the Central Hall, Westminster. under the 

leadership of F. R. Barnes (London), and 

we hear of surprisingly good numbers in 

spite of the other great attraction. Ministry 

and testimony is supplied by Mrs. 

Roswell Flower (U.S.A.), H. B. Garlock 

(Missionary to West Africa), W. D. Up 

shaw (Ex-Congressman, U.S.A.), and John 

Dyke (England). At both meetings the 

four speakers stress respectively four aspects 

of our distinctive witness-Revival, 

Missions, the Supernatural and Evangelism. 

SATURDAY, JULY 5. 

The audience is delighted .when Mrs. 

Robert Brown of New York is introduced 

as the second speaker. “Glad Tidings” Tabernacle 

gave $38,000 (about 14,000 pounds) 

last year to foreign missions. And dare we 

publish it, Sister Brown told us that she 

is 71 years of age. Who would have 

thought it as we felt the vitality of her 

ministry? Her text was I1 Kings 4%- 

“What hast thou in the house?” She reminded 

us that only by pouring OUT 

what we already have can we ensure God’s 

continued Pentecostal supply. 

The last speaker is Gordon Lindsay 

(U.S.A), the Editor of “THE VOICE OF 

HEALING.” With rapt attention the great 

audience listens as he tells Bow God- led 

him from smaller things into a fmtful 

field of successful evangelism by means of 

the “sign.gifhs” of Divine healing to confirm

“Where He displays His healing

Death and the curse are known no

In Him the tribes of Adam boast 

More blessings than their father

With those victorious .words the third, 

and by very far the largest, World Conference

into history. They are a fitting climax to 

the Conference Theme-“INTO ALL THE 

WORLD.”

have taken them (Greek), and ye shall 

have them.” 

Consider again that devil’s hateful trin- 

ity mentioned above-swellings and sores 

and pains. . . . How dreadful and threat- 

ening they are! They are like the three 

“sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and 

Talmai,” Josh. 15:14, fearsome giants, 

who terrorized the people of God for 

years, and challenged their entry into 

the Land of Promise. Of these the terri- 

fied spies said (the unbelieving spies, who 

went into the Land to see IF God’s prom- 

ise was true-instead of believing it), 

“There we saw the giants, the sons of 

Anak: and we were in our own sight as 

grasshoppers, and so were we in their 

sight.” But had not God already said, 

“Thou shalt not be afraid of them,” 

though they were “a people great and 

tall. whom thou knowest, and of whom 

thou hast heard say, Who can stand be- 

fore the children of Anak! Understand 

therefore this day, that the Lord thy God 

is he which goeth over before thee; as 

a consuming fire he shall destroy them, 

and he shall bring them down before thy 

face: so shalt thou drive them out, and 

destroy them quickly, as the Lord .thy 

God hath said unto thee!” Deut. 9:2, 3. Is 

not that wonderful encouragement! There. 

fore courageous Caleb (“whose faith fol- 

low”) prayed: “If so be the Lord will be 

with me, then I shall be able, tz drive 

them out, as the Lord hath sazd. Thus, 

testifying to his faith and the faithful- 

ness of God, we triumphantly read that 

“Caleb drove thence the three sons of 

Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.” 

Josh. 13:14. 

So, beloved child of God, if you too 

are molested by those modern “sons of 

Anak,” Pains and Swellings and Sores; 

if after prayer they have persistently 

plagued you and challenged your entry 

into the Promised Land of Health; now- 

in the Name of the Lord, take victory, 

over them, and, like Caleb, drive them 

off your territory. Or rather, accept the 

fact that they are driven off long ago 

by a Mightier than Cal.eb. They are beaten 

at Calvary, and you are free from their 

power as you stand in faith. Arise in 

victory now. Slip past the beaten bullies. 

Do not bow to them. Do not recognize 

them. Do not see them. Ignore them. 

‘J~SUS has dealt with them and driven 

them out of your pathway and life. Ignore 

their power and their very presence. 

Stand in Christ’s victory, and rejoice. The 

manifestation of victory will follow the 

Faith. 

It is perfectly natural to look for symp 

toms. But divine healing is perfectly 

supernatural. It is not a physical thing. 

It is, like salvation, a thing of grace. Both 

are by faith and not by sight or feeling. 

If you.look for symptoms you are limited 

by what you see. Faith leaps far 

beyond sight and lives in a realm of perfect 

heaven-centered liberty and victory. 

Faith has X-ray eyes that see the invisible 

through the visible., the reality beyond the 

seeming. The invisible is always in Christ, 

that serene peace and health and harmony 

in spirit, soul and body that Jesus 

died to purchase for all who believe. 

Symptoms will m i s 1 e a d you. Mistrust 

them. God will deliver you. Trust Him. 

Arise - come to Him in the scriptural 

way - and claim His perfect redeeming 

work for your body-NOW. In spite of 

everything -trust Him. F a i t h ignores 

symptoms. Because Faith trusts God.

we came to the city of Jericho. As soon 

as we crossed the Jordan River, several 

members of the party began to be 

stricken with nausea, and one after another 

of the party became seriously ill. 

One man lost twenty-five pounds in a few 

days, and might have lost his life had not 

God intervened. We do not attach significance 

to this incident, but merely consider 

it an odd coincidence, as occurring 

at the “City of the Cwse.” 

Some Bible students see in the events 

that took place in Jericho in the days-of 

Elijah and Elisha a type of events which 

are to take place at the Coming of the 

Lord. Jericho is regarded as a type of 

the present civilization that has been 

built in self-will and to no little extent 

inspired by the god of this age. Jezebel, 

who persecuted the prophets of God, and 

instituted an idolatrous worship, typifies 

the apostate church that has committed 

adultery with the world, and which is 

reserved for judgment. (Rev. 2:20.) Elitop-

Elisha turns and curses them for their 

blasphemous mocking, and two she bears 

come out of the word and tear forty two 

of them. In this connection, if the event 

is a type of things to come, it is interesting 

to note that the great enemy that is 

to come down into Palestine at the time 

of the end is none other than Russia, 

symbolized by the bear. (Ezek. 38-39.] 

Note also that The Great Tribuation is 42 

months in length. No doctrine should be 

built around types, but the peculiar detailed 

relation of these events to prophecy 

is interesting and worthy of study. 

There is one more word that we would 

say about the city before we leave this 

subject. One day Jesus entered and 

passed through Jericho. How like the Saviour, 

for him to come to the “City of 

the Curse!”. For Christ became a curse 

so that He might save those which are 

under the curse. On the day Jesus came,; 

to Jericho, Blind Bartimaeus received his 

sight. Zaccheus, the publican came down 

from the sycamore tree and received 

Jesus into his house with great joy. The 

Pharisees murmured that Jesus had gone 

to be a guest at the house of a sinner,

mies and sex maniacs that live in tempo 

with the jazz craze. This is not compli- 

mentary, but the best commentary one 

needs on the above is the headlines of 

our daily papers. 

Yet the condemning factor is not in 

itself the debauchery of our people, but 

the lukewarmness of a so-called Christian 

nation toward the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

This is stated plainly in Rev. 3:16. “So 

then because thou are lukewarm and 

neither cold “7; hot; I will spue thee out 

of my mouth. Yes, a land rich in re- 

sources, genius, and history, but spirit- 

ually poor. The greatest inheritance of 

every American is the Bible upon whose 

foundation this land of ours was estab- 

lished. “America, back on your knees with 

the Bible.” Listen to what God has to say, 

“Because thou sayeat, I am rich and in- 

creased with guods, and have need of 

nothing; and knowest not that thou art 

wretched, md miserable and poor. and 

blind, and naked.” Rev. 3:17. 

TEE PLIGHT OF TEE CHURCH 

There was always the tendency on the 

part of God’s people to lose sight of some 

20 

REV. KAROL 

vital truth of Scripture necessary for its 

existence and work. In this day of learning, 

our theological schools are turning 

out preachers in a mass production fashion. 

Preaching has become a fine art and 

even a desired profession in which, today, 

one is looked up to. The air waves 

are full of ser,mons which propound 

choice tid-bits of doctrinal truths, vying 

for large listening audiences and a large 

mailing response. I believe that the truth 

of the scripture that is,found in.11 Timothy 

4:3, 4 has come to pass: “For the 

time will come when they will not endure 

sound doctrine; but after their own 

lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, 

having itching ears; And they shall 

turn away their ears from tte truth, and 

shall be turned unto fables. 

We are finding out, to our own damage, 

that preaching in itself is not sufficient. 

In spite of the prominence accorded 

this professlon, sin is running rampant 

and darkness, with its evil deeds, prevails 

on every hand. People are sleeping their 

way into Eternity and destruction under 

the very sound of many a preacher. We 

must admit that decorum and polish in 

the pulpit, as commendable as that may 

be, is not doing the job. There is a vital 

lack some place. There must be a reason. 

Every effect must have a sufficient 

cause. I have no ‘bones to pick’ with the 

preachers, for I am happy that I am also 

one called by Him to be “One of them.” 

However, when something does not work, 

there is the need of tearing it down and 

seeing where the tick went. As much as 

we hate to do this, yet we must. This is 

the case of the proverbial father saying 

to the boy who is about to receive his 

spanking, “This hurts me more than it 

does you .” 

THE SIGN 

God intended us to preach, for He said 

in Matthew 2434, “And this Gospel of 

the kingdom shall be preached in all the 

world for a witness unto all nations.” 

Also in Matthew 103, 8 we read, “And 

as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom 

of heaven.is at hand, heal the sick, 

cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast 

out devils, freely ye have received, freely 

give.” Now kindly note the following. God 

said for us to go and preach the gospel 

of His kingdom and this we willingly did. 

May I say that we are doing it still. He 

also said tell them of the kingdom being 

at hand. This we also obeyed. But here 

is where we failed. We have not presented 

the full program that God wanted us to. 

We have taken the 7th verse and applied 

it but overlooked the 8th which is as 

much a part of our commission as is 

preaching. He said, “Heal the sick, cleanse 

the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils 

. . .” The SIGNS FOLLOWING ministry 

is what is needed to awaken this sin- 

stunned world out of its sleep of death. 

In these last days, and I am sure no 

one will dispute this statement, the only 

thing that will bring America to her 

knees is preaching, backed by miracles. 

In this way, they will not only hear but 

be able to see as well. Every miracle per- 

formed will be a Rock of Gibraltar, able 

to withstand all the attacks of Satan and 

his cohorts against the truth of our mes- 

sage. In the closing days of this Age and 

Dispensation of God‘s grace, I am happy 

that “Bible days are here again!” No 

more do we have to speak of miracles 

as in the past but thank God, we see 

them in the present. (Like the two ends 

of a cord drawn together about the sin- 

ful neck of this world, forming a noose 

of judgment is this manifestation of 

1 God’s miracle working power in the past 

and present.) 

This is the Light that will judge the 

world. They will see this but refuse to 

accept or walk in it. Thus they stand con- 

demned without an excuse. “And this is 

the condemnation that light is come into 

the world, and men loved darkness rather 

than light, because their deeds were evil.” 

John 3:19. God is giving this sin-blinded 

world its last chance to see Christ, not 

only in the Word but in miracles as well. 

“Go ye into all the world and preach 

the Gospel to every creature. He that 

believeth not shall be damned. And 

these signs shall follow them that be- 

lieve; In My name shall they cast out 

devils; They shall speak with new 

tongues; They shall take up serpents; 

and if they drink any deadly thing 

it shall not hurt them; they shall lay 

hands on the sick and they shall re- 

cover , . . As ye go, preach, saying, 

The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, 

raise the dead, cast out devils, freely 

ye have received, freely give . . . and 

this Gospel of the kingdom shall be 

preached in all the world for a wit- 

ness unto all nations: AND THEN 

SHALL THE END COME.” Mark 

16:15-18. Matt. 103. 8. Matt. 24:14. 

AILMENTS DISAPPEAR 

Dear Brother Karol: 

I cannot thank God enough for healing 

my body. When you anointed and prayed 

for me I received healing through God‘s 

power. I had been suffermg for over two 

years with a number of ailments. 

I had stomach trouble, low blood pres. 

sure ,nervousness, and had been crippled 

for over a year and could not walk. I was 

in the h o s p i t a 1 thirteen times in two 

years. I have had six doctors to examine 

me and no one could give me any help. 

I heard Brother Miles announce on the 

radio that Brother Stanley W. Karol 

would be at the church on the 11th of 

March for. a. healing campaign. Two had 

to carry me into the church, but after 

Brother Karol prayed for me I was able 

to walk immediately. Thank God that they 

did not have to carry me out, for by His 

grace I walked out! 

Yours in Christ,

CAMP MEETING - (from p. 15) 

FAITH HEALING HOSPITAL 

A lady who was healed, after having 

been brought to the meeting in an ambu- 

lance, broke the ground on the last night 

of the meeting for the new Faith Healing 

Hospital, which is to be erected on the 

Children’s Home grounds. This hospital 

will be housed in a ninetyfive thousand 

dollar ($95,000.00) building, where people 

can come and be prayed for and taught 

to trust God for their healing. 

This will be a tremendous thing. of na- 

tional importance. 

Work on the structure is beginning im- 

mediately. 

NEW ANNEX TO CHILDREN’S HOME 

We had the privilege of seeing the new 

annex to the Herald of Healing Children’s 

Home, including dormitory, play-room, 

kitchens. etc., which is now near comple- 

tion. This addition will nwre than dou- 

ble the space now provided and wall make 

possible accommodation for twice the 

present number of children in the home. 

GREAT BAPTIZING IN WATER 

On the last Monday night of the meet- 

ing a water baptismal service was held 

in the portable baptistry in front of the 

pulpit. Four pastors baptized the more 

than one hundred converts. (See picture 

on this page). 

NEARLYEVERYSTATE 

REPRESENTED 

People were in attendance from almost 

every state and some foreign countries, 

some coming over two thousand miles to 

attend this great Camp Meeting. 

Fellowship among the cooperating min- 

isters and churches was wonderful. 

Truly we are grateful to Brother Coe 

for bringing this Camp Meeting to Dallas. 

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done 

But he with a chuckle replied 

That “maybe it couldn’t’’ but he would be one 

Who wouldn‘t say SO till he tried, 

So he buckled right in, with a trace of a grin an 

his face. If he worried, he hid it. 

He started to ring as he tackled the thing 

That couldn!t be done, and he did it. 

Somebody scoffed, “Oh, you’ll never do that, 

At least no one has over done it;” 

But he took off his coat and he took off his hat 

And the first thing we knew he’d begun it. 

With the lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, 

Without any doubting or “quiddit,” 

He started to sing as he tackled the thing 

That couldn’t be done, and he did it. 

There are thousands to fell you it cannot be done, 

There are thousands to prophesy failure; 

There are thousands to point out to you, one by one, 

the dangers that wait to assail you; 

But just buckle in with a bit of a grin 

Just take off your coat and go to it; 

Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing 

Thot “cannot be done” and you’ll do it.

JERICHO (from p. 18) . .. 

but Jesus answered‘by saying, “This day 

is salvation come to this house forasmuch 

as he also is a son of Abraham. For the 

son of man is come to seek and to save 

that which is lost.” (Luke 19:9-10.) Jeri- 

cho is a type of the world under a curse. 

Jericho had its hour as all men have their 

hour. Jesus’ visit of mercy to that city is 

an encouragement to all men and also a 

warning. For He never came to Jericho 

again.

NOTED CHURCH LEADER IMPRESSED 

BY TVH 

By Rev. A. H. Argue* 

Dear Brother Lindsay: 

AM GREATLY impressed with 

I your paper “THE VOICE’ OF 

HEALING.” I believe it has an in- 

fluence in getting the full gospel mes- 

,sage, which includes the ministry of 

healing, to the people, that is sur- 

passed by none. 

I have Wen on the evangelistic field 

much of the past forty-five years through- 

out the United States and Canada.* 

I visited the late John Alexander Dowie’s 

work in Zion City, Illinois, when he was 

alive and saw an almost unbelievable col- 

lection of wheel chairs, braces, crutches 

and many other similar things discarded 

by the sick who had been healed in his 

meetings. 

Dr. A. B. Simpson, President of ‘the 

Christian Missionary Alliance, prayed for 

me in 1906, and I received a wonderful 

healing. We have witnessed many out- 

standing healings in our ministry. 

I believe this is God’s hour. New oppor- 

tunities are presenting themselves. In- 

creasing faith and courage with multi- 

plied signs and healings, and a great in- 

gathering of souls, are much in evidence. 

*I am in my 84th year. Have worked 

with Mrs. Woodworth Etter in the early 

days of Pentecost. Raymond Richey and 

Fred Bosurorth, are old time friends.

ISRAEL’S ARMY 

“In May, 1948, in the anarchy of the 

British departure and the simultaneous 

aggression of Israel’s neighbors, the men 

and women of Haganah, nucleus of the 

national army, served as the advance 

guards of the new State of Israel and 

flung themselves into the breach,” said 

Lt. Col. Moshe Perlman of Jerusalem. 

“They were joined by every able-bodied 

man and woman in the country who were 

quickly organized into a people’s force 

to keep the enemy at bay and preserve 

the State from destruction. They won for 

themselves one of the most glorious vic- 

tories of any people’s war of liberation. 

“With the end of this war, came the 

breathing spell in which the defense 

forces of the country could be more 

rationally and effectively organized to 

safeguard the sovereignty of the new State 

of Israel,” continued Mr. Perlman. 

The formation of a national army in 

Israel has prepared the way for the ful- 

fillment of Zechariah 14:14, “And Judah 

(the Jews) also shall fight at Jerusalem.” 

APOSTASY 

A recent news report reveals the al- 

most unbelievable fact that the Ohio 

State Liquor Department has issued a 

beer and wine permit to a church in 

Cleveland. It will allow the bar in the 

church recreation center to serve high- 

powered beer and wine by the drink. De- 

partment officials said they could not re- 

member any church ever before obtain- 

ing a permanent permit. Surely this indi- 

cates the spiritual decline prevalent in so 

many churches of our country today. A 

spiritual “falling away” is declared to be 

a sign of the end-time and the return of 

Christ-I1 Thessalonians 2:3. 

IRAN LEANING TO CODaMUNISM 

The importance of what is taking place 

in Iran makes it almost imperative that 

we refer to it each month. Russia has 

looked enviously through the Iran win- 

dow into the Middle and Near East. Iran 

is the fourth largest producer of oil in 

the world-or was until weeping Premier 

Mohammed Mossadegh kicked the British 

out. The greatest present and future po- 

tential oil lands of the world are in the 

Arab countries beyond Iran. 

Iran bars the Soviet path to the Per- 

sian Gulf and the Indian Ocean, sea out- 

lets which give access to India and the 

other lands of the Pacific. Iran, too, is a 

backdoor to Turkey, guarding the coveted 

Dardanelles, through which Russia can- 

not now. freely sweep into the Mediter- 

ranean. All of this is brought to mind 

forcefully as Mossadegh, now given dic- 

tatorial powers, works with Red-cooperat- 

ing Mullah Ayatulla Kashani, leader of a 

fanatical religious group, in organizing 

riots. One was arranged to oust Ahmed 

Quavam, who at the end of World War 

I1 in 1945, stood firm in ousting Russian 

troops from the country. 

Iran’s treasury, deprived of the direct 

and indirect revenue from Anglo-Iranian 

Oil Company, is running into the red at 

10 million dollars a month, and Iran’s 

mobs and parliament are crying “out with 

Americans as advisors.” According to a 

report from Washington, D. C.. observers 

say the door is opening wider and wider 

for Communism in Iran, with wide inviting 

vistas beyond. 

The importance of this development in 

Iran is again pointed out as making possible 

the Russian attack upon Israel. as 

foretold in the 38th chapter of Ezekiel, 

very near at hand. 

REDS IN ISRAEL 

The Soviet ambassador to Israel and 

his staff are now going to church every 

Sunday, according to a reliable report 

from Washington, D. C. This is reported 

part of the Red campaign to influence 

clergymen and other persons in the strategic 

Middle Eastern country. The Russian 

Palestine Society has been re-created 

in Moscow and, backed by the Soviet 

government, is laying claim to extensive 

properties in the Jerusalem area. The 

claim to ownership of such properties in 

Israel gives the Reds the right to send 

her troops into Israel to ‘protect’ her interests. 

It would be a very simple matter 

to ‘create’ a ‘situation’ which would give 

Russia a ‘reason’ for ordering Red troops 

into Israel under the guise of ‘protecting’ 

her properties. This would definitely be 

the fulfillment of the 38th chapter of 

Ezekiel and would set the stage for the 

appearance of the antichrist who would 

arise as the ‘defender’ of Israel against 

the invading forces of the North. Surely 

the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 

BUSINESS AS USUAL 

The United States has initidted a plan 

to increase the printing of paper money 

by 50 per cent In an effort to turn out 

bank notes as fast as they are being 

spent. Officials explained that the printing 

of money has lagged behind demands and 

the increase has become necessary. This 

is due to increased wages, unprecedented 

employment and higher costs. 

In Luke 27:28,30 we are told, “As it 

was in the days of Lot: they did eat, they 

drank, they BOUGHT, they SOLD, they 

planted, they builded . . . even thus shall 

it be in the day when the Son of man is 

revealed.” This simply means that “business 

as usual” will continue right up to 

the very moment of His return. Men today 

seem more concerned about carry. 

ing on business than preparing for the 

return of Christ.

ADDRESS : The Voice of Healing, Box 8658, Dallas, Texas 

SERIES TWO 

WHAT DO YQU READ? 

Last month we outlined a series of 

books published by The Voice of Heal- 

ing, as suggestions for your faith li- 

brary. This mot:th, we shall briefly 

mention books published by TVH 

evangelists. 

We believe that it is to the advantage of 

every Christian to have these books in 

your home. Visitors who come and go 

may pick up one of these and, as a result, 

get saved or healed, or otherwise blessed. 

One of the greatest needs.in the aver- 

age Christian home at the present time 

is a good selection of faith books to bt. 

placed in a prominent place so they will 

be easily available. 

In Sweden, the FuU Gospel Church's 

liberal use of the printing press has to no 

little extent',been responsible for that 

movement's' being the leading religious 

one of the nation, 

A very important inspirational book 

on Divine healing is T. L. Osborn's 

Healing the Sick and Casting Out Devils. 

This volume is really a combination of 

five books, and has resulted in the healing 

of many. 

Brother Osborne has also written two 

amazing missionary books-Revival Har- 

vest With nliracles of Healing, and Re- 

vival Fires Sweep Cuba - Miracles of 

Healing. 

F. F. Bosworth's Christ the Healer is 

a classic on the subject and was written 

bv a man who has received 225.000 testi- 

monials of healing during his 'iong and 

fruitful ministry. 

A. A. Allen's book The Price of God's 

Miracle Working Power tells how the au- 

thor sought God by prayer and fasting 

many days, and then, in his closet, God 

spoke and revealed to him a number of 

secrets which opened to him the power of 

God. The several chapters relate the ac- 

tual words that God spke to him. This 

book has had a wide sale. Bro. Allen also 

has published an excellent booklet Receive 

Ye the Holy Ghost. 

The Story of Jack Coe will make the 

reader weep, laugh and, if unsaved, will 

lead him to Christ. Just the book to put 

into the hands of the unconverted. He 

won't stop until he has'read it completely 

through. 

For those who want faith-building ser- 

mons, we recommend Gayle Jackson's 

Divine Deliverance. The sermcns contained 

in this volume were preached to thou- 

sands of people, and have resulted in as 

many as five thousand people surrender- 

ing to Christ in one campaign. 

Supernatural Deliverance was written 

by Clifton Erickson, whose campaign in 

Chile recently drew crowds of people, up 

to 75,000, and shook the republic, It also 

gives an account of how he received the 

healing ministry. 

One of the newest books of sermons 

is that oi W. B. McKay, Christ's Deliver- 

ance for Soul and Body. 

The thrilling story of how Sister McKay 

was caught up to heaven for several 

hours appeared in a recent issue of TVH. 

Paul Cain's The Life and Ministry of 

Pari1 Cain tells a most unusual story of 

the call of a youth to a national ministry, 

though only 21 years of age. This has had 

an unusual sale. 

The booklet The World's Meanest Thief 

is the best small work available on the 

subject of tithing. A new edition of 50,000 

just recently came off the press, Just the 

thing to give a person who doesn't believe 

in this Bible truth. Brother Gardner has 

also just written a booklet about Father 

Divine, entitled I Spent Saturday Night in 

the Devil's House. The first edition of 

5,000 was sold out within a month. He has 

a fine book of sermons under the title The 

God of Miracles. He has also written Heal- 

ing For You. 

The W. V. Grant books are written in 

a style of homespun English. Brother 

Grant's minIstry has resulted in thousands 

of people being healed and receiving the 

Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Volumes I and 

I1 of Divine Healing Answers contain the 

answers to practically all the objections 

raised against healing. 

The Grace of God in My Life is a story 

of his experiences and of his call to the 

healing ministry. A new book, published 

not long ago, is for those who have not 

yet received the Baptism. It is called How 

To Receive the Holy Ghost. 

TVH office has a limited number of 

copies of the booklet World Pentecostal 

Conference with special messages by Full 

Gospel leaders throughout the world. We ' 

also have only a little over a hundred

BOOK-OF-THE-MONTH 

The ‘.Story of the Conversion 

WAS BORN on a quaint little Eng- 

1 lish street in a little brick house 

that jostled right up to the sidewalk, 

with no lawns in front and no gardens 

in back. When I was two years 

old .my little sister, Jessie, was born. 

The arrival of the sweet baby was in 

a sense clouded with a deep sorrow, 

for the birth of the child meant the 

death of my mother. I do not remember 

my mother; although there have 

been times, especially in later years, 

when she seemed to be very, very 

near me. I have been told that before 

she went away to glory she took me 

in her arms and dedicated me to the 

service of the Lord. One of these days 

in the not too far distant future I am 

going to have a real happy visit with 

the mother I never knew. 

HIS NEW STEP MOTEXR 

A few years later my father married 

again. It is my belief that he could have 

searched the world around and not found 

a sweeter or a nobler woman than the one 

I learned to call my mother. This dear 

mother was very insistent that plans and 

preparations be made to give me the best 

schooling that they could possibly afford. 

‘. Through the sacrifice of my parents it 

was possible for me to go through school 

and college. It was during these years that 

. followed that I began to drift. While I 

loved my parents deeply, I foolishly began 

to believe that their outlook on life 

was old-fashioned and rather narrow. For 

a while I labored with a Sheffield law 

firm, and at first was fascinated by the 

atmosphere of the courtrooms. After a 

while I became restless and moved to 

Canada. From Canada I felt impressed to 

go to Spokane. 

CONVERTED IN SPOKANE I 

One night in early autumn I was standing 

with my back to a lamp post listening 

to the singing of a little band of mission 

workers. .When the street meeting 

was over a little old lady detained me. 

“DO you know God wants you?” she said. 

Suddenly I felt uncomfortable. I am afraid 

that I was rather rude in the way I excused 

myself and hurried away. Halfway 

across the Monroe Street Bridge, I 

stopped. A peculiar feeling had come over

and Healing Ministry of 

. DR. CHARLES S. PRICE 

As told by himself 

Dr. Price. 

This article is condensed from& the LIFE 

STORY OF DR. PRICE. His campaigns 

in the twenties were of tremendous sine 

and resulted in the conversion and 

healing of tens of thousands. 


me. I began to feel as if God had spoken 

to the old lady and a feeling of dread 

and awe came upon me. Slowly I re- 

traced my steps and I arrived eventually 

at the mission. 

What a battle went on in my heart that 

night! The road I was going led down. 

I knew it. I was getting to the place that 

I did not care what happened, and while 

I was not in the gutter, yet I was slipping 

down, down, down, and I knew it was dis- 

aster, and sorrow in the end. When Mr. 

Stayt gave the altar call I sprang to my 

feet, squared my shoulders and marched 

down to the front. That night I gave my 

self to God. I was desperately in earnest. 

I was absolutely sincere. I did not have 

the great emotional experience that came 

to ,me in an event that I shall describe 

later. 

For a while I labored in the Free Meth. 

odist Mission that taught and practiced 

the old-fashioned Wesleyan doctrine of 

scriptural holiness. They were wonderful 

people, and they lived very close to God. 

In the meantime, to support myself, I got 

a job with a large grocery firm. Before 

long I was making huge caldrons of car- 

amels of every kind and description. I 

became quite an expert in the manufac. 

ture of chocolate centers. 

Events moved swiftly now. I was ad- 

mitted to the conference and was or- 

dained by Bishop Smith. I built two par. 

sonages and’ raised all my benevolences, 

and prided myself on the result of my 

church ministry. Then something hap 

pened. While in the Life Line Mission, 

news came of the falling of the Holy 

Ghost in the city of Los Angeles. An evan- 

gelist up from California came to see me. 

He spoke to me in convincing terms of 

the falling of the power. He told of the 

miracles of healing, of the latter days and 

the soon return of the Lord. I promised 

him that I would go home and pray. I 

did and slowly conviction came over my 

soul. I promised to meet with workers at 

a certain time and place the following 

day, that I might be filled with the Holy 

Ghost. I went home walking on air. 

THE VOICE OF THE MODERNIST 

On my way to the prayer meeting, the 

next day I met a certain minister. I en. 

thusiastically explained the situation to 

him and that I was on the way to a pray 

er meeting. To my amazement he gripped 

me by the arm and said, “Price, I can 

not let you go. You’ll wreck your future-

HAT IS THE BIBLE signifi- 

W cance of the earthquake? What 

does the Prophetic Word have to say 

about this strange terrestrial phenomenon? 

We are told by geologists 

that quakes come as a result of faults 

in the earth’s surface, that this planet 

is gradually cooling, and, in so doing, 

is shrinking slightly, causing slippage 

to occur at the points where the faults 

are found. Granted this is true, does 

the Bible reveal that there is a prophetic 

significance to these periodic 

convulsions of nature? As the time 

of the end draws near, are we to expect 

greater and more serious upheavals 

of the earth’s surface?

of the severe shocks in Southern California,

Tehachapi, Arvin and other cities were 

seriously damaged. In 1933, there was the 

disastrous quake that destroyed millions 

of dollars worth of property in Los Angeles. 

Before that, Santa Barbara was severely 

shaken. Also, there was that great 

earthquake which practically destroyed 

the city of San Francisco in 1906. In this 

disaster, more than Eve hundred people 

lost their lives and property damage 

reached nearly ~$300,000,000.00, equivalent 

perhaps to a billion dollar loss today. 

Other areas than California have been 

,visited by devastating earthquakes. In 

1923, a .third of Tokyo and most of Yokohama 

were thus destroyed. In India in 

1935 a quake killed 50,000 people. In Chile, 

during 1939, a disastrous earth tremor 

razed some 50,000 square miles and took 

the lives of 30,000 people. That same year 

Turkey suffered from an earthquake 

which was marked by one. hundred thousand 

(100,000) casualties.

Does God control the earthquake, or 

are those things beyond His Providence? 

When we were in Venezuela a couple of 

years ago, Brother Olson, an Assembly 

Missionary, related to us a most interesting 

incident. A destructive earthquake had 

devastated El Tocuyo, an interior city of 

West Central Venezuela. The whole city 

was demolished except for three buildmgs, 

of which only the Pentecostal 

Church and the mission compound were 

undamaged. The latter was once on a busy 

main street. Now it stands in the center 

of an empty desolate field (see pictures). 

Surely the Lord knoweth them that are 

His! 

Mrs. Woodworth Etter, ‘ the famous 

evangelist, tells in her Life Story, how 

the Spirit of God warned her of the coming 

of the San Francisco earthquake. 

Quoting her: “While holding meetings in 

California, the Lord showed me that a 

great destruction was coming. Soon after, 

the papers were ablaze with pictures of 

the awful earthquake and. holocaust in 

San Francisco, and the surrounding country. 

I had told them that God always 

sends mercy first, and that they would be 

visited next with destruction and judg 

ment. The earthquake soon followed and 

the fear of God came on those who remembered 

the prophecy. Both prophecies 

were fulfilled within a week, and I lived 

to walk over the ruins.” 

What does the Bible have to say about 

the significance of earthquakes? Jesus, 

when asked about events which were to 

take place during this age in anticipation 

of His Second Coming, said, 

Matt. 24:7,* 

“And there shall be.. . earthquakes 

in divers places. Al:,these are the be- 

. ginning of sorrows. 

It is interesting to note the words of 

the Scripture concerning the earthquake 

which occurred while Elijah was waiting 

for the Lord to speak to him. First there 


came a great wind from heaven that rent 

the mountains and brake the rocks; but 

the Lord was not in the wind; and after 

the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was 

not in the earthquake: and after the earthuake 

a fire; but the Lord was not in the 

8, 

When the Lord spoke it was by ‘‘a still 

small voice.” It would appear from this 

that God wishes to teach His people by 

speaking to them in “a still small voice,” 

rather than by major disasters such as 

earthquakes. However, many people will 

not respond to love; therefore, God has 

to deal with them in judgment. 

In this present article we are especial- 

ly interested in the earthquakes men- 

tioned in the Bible, and their significance. 

In our study, we are struck with a strange 

circumstance. The earthquakes of proph- 

ecy seem to be especially associated with 

the resurrection power of God, the corn- 

ing of Christ, and Divine judgment. There 

are seven such references. 

THE FIRST EARTEQUAKEL 

UZZIAH’S EARTHQUAKE 

The prophet Zechariah refers in Zech. 

14:6 to A GREAT EARFQUAKE which 

occurred in the days of King Uzziah. It was 

such a terrible disaster thgt the people of 

Jerusalem fled for their lives to the moun. 

tains. The Prophet Amos also refers to 

this earthquake in his prophecy. (Amos 

1:l). 

As we have said, the earthquakes of 

the Scriptures seem to be strangely as- 

sociated with a manifestation of God’s 

resurrection power. We are told that, 

after Elisha died, some men were burying 

a dead man but, before they could corn. 

plete their task, a band of Moabites ap 

peared. In haste they threw the corpse 

into the sepulcher of Elisha. An’ amazing 

thing then happened. When the corpse 

was let down, and touched the bones of 

Elisha, he revived and stood up on his 


i

feet. (II Kings 13-21). The significant 

thing about the incident is that the event 

apparently took place about the time of 

Uzziah (Azsriah) who was King of Judah 

when the great earthquake occurred. 

Zechariah seems to consider this dis- 

aster as a type of the great earthquake 

which will take place at the time of the 

Coming of the Lord with His samts. (Zech. 

145). 

SECOND EARTHQUAKE -.EARTH- 

QUAKE AT RESURRECTION 

OF CHRIST 

Matthew 2751-53- 

“And, behold, the veil of the.tem 

ple was rent in twain from the top to 

the bottom; and THE EARTH. DID 

QUAKE, and the rocks rent; 

And the graves were opened; and 

many bodies of the saints which slept 

arose, 

And came out of the graves after 

His resurrection, and went into the 

holy city, and appeared unto many.” 

Matthew 282- 

“And, behold, THERE WAS A 

GREAT EARTHQUAKE: for the an- 

gel of the Lod descev-zded from 

heaven, and came and rolled back the 

stone from the door, and sat upon it.” 

Earthquakes often come in series. 

These two quakes happened successively 

at the death and resurrection of the Lord 

Jesus Christ. The events that occurred at 

this time are exceedingly interesting, as 

well as significant. At the death of Christ, 

came the A nt earthquake. Certainly it is 

not surprising that so great an event as 

the death of the Creator should cause the 

earth to tremble and convulse. Moreover, 

at this time many of the graves of the 

saints were thrown open and, after 

Christ’s resurrection, they arose and ap- 

peared unto many.. It is made clear that 

this resurrection did not take place until 

after Christ’s resurrection-the dead could 

hardly precede RIM who is the Rssurrec- 

tion and Che Life. 

THE THIRD EARTHQUAKE-THE DAY 

OF THE LORD BEGINS 

Rev -_ - . . 6 - . -. : s 

“And I beheld when he had opened 

I the sixth seal, and, lo. THERE WAS 

A GREAT EARTHQUAKE: and the 

j sun becams black -as sackcloth of 

hair, and the moon became as blood.” . 

The third earthquake of prophecy is 

mentioneu as occurring at the time when 

“the great day of His (God’s) wrath” begins, 

and simultaneously with the darkening 

of the sun. Jesus establishes the 

time of the darkening of the sun as at 

the close of the Great Tribulation (Matt. 

24:29). Peter shows that it occurs just 

before “that gTFat and notable day of 

the Lordkome. (Acts 2:30). We would 

assume therefore that the Day of the 

Lord follows the Great Tribulation. 

We cannot refrain from taking note of 

the remarkable event that occurs at the 

time of this earthquake and the darkening.of 

the sun. 

Matthew 24:29-31- 

“lmmediutely after the tribulation 

of those days shall the sun be darkened, 

and the moon shall not give her 

light, and the stars shall fall from 

heaven, and the powers of the heavens 

shall be shaken: 

And then shall appear the sign of 

I the Son of man in heaven: and then 

shall a11 the tribes of the earth 

mourn, and they shall see the Son of 

man coming in the clouds.of heaven 

with powsr and great glqry. 

And he ehall send hcs angel8 with 

a great soun&of a trumpd, and they

shall gather together his elect from 

the four winds, from one end of 

heaven to the other.” 

We are told directly that this event is 

the Second Coming of Christ. 

FOURTH EARTHQUAKE-EARTH- 

QUAKE OF TflE TRUMPET 

JUDGMENTS 

Rev. 85- 

‘rAnd the angel took the censer, 

and filled it with firesof the altar, 

and cast it into the earth: and 

there were voices, and thunderings, 

and lightnings, and an earthquake.” 

THIS EARTHQUAKE introduces the 

great Trumpet Judgments which fall upon 

the earth as a manifestation of God’s 

wrath. The day of God’s mercy having 

ended, wrath begins. It is a sad hour for 

the inhabitants of the world. During these 

terrible days an angel cries out from 

heaven: 

Rev. 8:13- 


“Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of 

the earth by reason of the other 

voices of the trumpet of the three an- 

gels, which are yet to sound.” 

Mercy rejected, finds only wrath re- 

maining! 

FIFTH EARTHQUAKE - RESURREC- 

TION OF THE TWO WITNESSES . 

Rev. 11:11-13- 

“And after three days and an half 

the Spirat ,of life from God entered 

into them, and they stood upon thew 

feet; and great fear fell upon them 

which saw them. 

And they heard a great voice from 

heaven saying unto them, Come up 

hither. And they ascended .up to 

heaven in a cloud; and thew ene- 

mies beheld them. 

AND THE SAME HOUR WAS 

THERE A GREAT EARTHQUAKE, 

and the tenth part of the city fell, 

and in the earthquuke were slain of 

men seven thousand . . .” 

The story of the Two Witnesses is one 

of the most interesting chapters of the 

Book of Revelation, but this is not the 

place to elaborate. The scene of the Two 

Witnesses’ activities is at Jerusalem (Vs. 

3-8). They give their testimony to Israel, 

apparent1 with telling effect. Eventually 

they are gilled by the Beast Power and 

their bodies lie for three and a half days 

on the street. Suddenly, they stand on 

their feet and are raptured to heaven. 

As this takes place, a great earthquake 

shakes the city and destroys a tenth.part 

of it,’killing about seven thowand (7,000) 

men. Again we see resurrection associated 

with an earthquake. (Some believe that 

this prophecy has an historical fulfill- 

ment also. Doubtless many prophecies 

have a double fulfillment.) 

SIXTH EARTHQUAKE - THE 

JunCMENT OF THE 

RIGHTEOUS DEAD 

Rev. II:IB-KL- 

!‘And the nations were angw, and 

thy wrath b come, and the time of the 

dead, that thw should be judged, and, 

that thou ahouldest give rward Wnto 


thy servants the prophets, and to the 

saints, and them that fear thy name, 

small and great; and shouldest destroy 

them which destroy the earth. 

. . . And there were lightnings, and 

voices, and thunderings, and AN 

EARTHQUAKE, and great haiZ.” 

This earthquake is marked by two great 

events, one on earth and one in heaven. 

On earth the great Vial Judgments are 

about to begin, in which the wrath of 

God is to be poured out without mixture 

(Rev. 14:10).. Hitherto wrath has been 

poured out with murture. Even under the 

judgment of the Fifth Earthquake, it is 

said that men “gave glory to the God .of 

heaven” (Rev. 11:13). But under the Vial 

Judgments, it seems that men are only 

hardened. We read in 

Revelation 16:9- 

“And men were scorched with a 

great heat, and blasphemed the name 

of God, which hath power over these 

plagues: and tkey repented not to 

give him glory. 

Sad indeed is the lot of men who have 

rejected mercy until this terrible day! 

The other event is one of contrast. The 

glorified saints of all ages, now appear 

amund the judgment seat of Christ to 

receive their reward (I1 Cor. 5:10, H Cor. 

3:12-14). whether their works have been 

gold, silver, precious stones, or hay. wood 

and stubble. How important it is that we 

not only zealously work for Christ but 

that we do our work humbly and sincerely 

before God. All that is inspired by the 

motive of selfishness, pride or ambition, 

are works that must be burned upsuch 

are hay, wood and stubble. . 

SEVENTH EARTHQUAKE - CHRIST 

COMES WITH HIS SAINTS! 

Rev. 16:17-1+ 

. “And the seventh angel - voured - out 

his.via1 into the air . 

. 

. 

. . And THERE WAS A GREAT 

EARTHQUAKE, such as was not since 

men were upon the earth. so mighty 

an earthquake, and so great. 

And the great city was divided 

into three parts, and the cataes of the 

nations feil . . .” 

This last earthquake is just before the 

Coming of Christ with His saints. as is 

shown in Rev. 19:11.16. It is the greatest 

earthquake in the history of the world, for 

we are told that it is “A GREAT EARTH- 

QUAKE such as was not since men were 

upon the earth.” It occurs at the close of 

the Battle of Armageddon (Rev. 16:16-18). 

The earthquake divides the city of Jerusalem 

into three parts, and is the earthquake 

spoken of In Zech. 14:4,5. which 

will split the Mount of Olives into two 

parts, causing a river of water to flow 

toward the Dead Sea, purifying its waters. 

Jerusalem is not completely destroyed 

by the earthquake, but ominously we 

read that, as a result of it, the cities of 

the nations shall fall! At that time the 

redeemed will be with their Lord in glory. 

All their troubles and trials are over 

forever? 

God rant that every reader of these 

pages stall be of that nymber when the 

saints go marching home,

I STARTLING INCIDENTS 

I AND AMAZING ANSWERS TO PRAYER 

MEDICAL SKILL FAILED 

PRAYER OF FAITH HEALED 

From - “Wonders of Prayer” 

HE LIFE OF DOROTHEA TRU- 

T DEL has afforded some remarkable 

instances of answer to prayer. 

During the years 1850 to 1860, in the 

Swiss village of Mannedorf, near the 

Lake of Zurich and that of Molltingen, 

were seen and witnessed many 

cases of cure in response to unyielding 

faith in the promises of the Lord. 

Dorothea Trudel was a worker in flowers 

and, in time, came to have many 

workers under her. 

When she was about thirty-seven years 

of age, four or five of her workers fell 

sick. The sickness resisted all treatment, 

grew worse, and appeared to be hopeless. 

She was a deep,earnest Christian and, 

while diligent and unselfish as a worker, 

her anxiety for her employees drew her to 

earnest prayer and study of the Scrip 

tures for relief. Like a sudden light, she 

says, the well known prayer of the Epistle 

of James 5:14,16, flashed before her. 

“Is any sick among you? . . . let 

them pray over him . . . 

And the prayer of faith shall save 

the sick, y d the Lord shall rawe 

htm up. . . 

She thought, “If medical skill is unavading, 

is there not prayer? There was 

a time when Jesus’ healing power went 

forth directly, might it not be put forth 

directly still?” 

Agitated by these questions, she sought 

help in prayer and then, kneeling by the 

bedside of these sick people, she prayed 

for them. They recovered and the Dhought, 

6hrtt at Arst had startled her, became now 

the settled conviction of her lie. 

Her reputation spread. Others who were 

sick came to her for relief. She sought’ 

the recovery of the patients by prayer 

alone. Many recovered. Her doors were 

besieged and, at last, because of her compassion, 

she consented to receive invalids 

at her home. By degrees her own 

house grew into three and, at last, it became 

a hospital. 

She lived a life of humility and perfect 

simplicity, yet provin her strength of 

faith. Her work is stifi being carried on 

by Mr. Zeller, with marvelous success in 

answer to prayer.

GOD’S PROMISE PROVED 

KERR JARS SURVIVE QUAKE- 

LEXANDER H. KERR was con- 

A verted under the ministry of 

Dwight L. Moody at the age of 14, 

and joined the Presbyterian Church 

at Philadelphia. In 1902 Mr. Kerr 

read a book which referred to the 

vow Jacob made in Genesis 28; where 

we find the following words, “Of all 

that thou shalt give me I will surely 

give the tenth unto thee.” Twenty 

years later this same Jacob returned 

to his home with servants and .cattle in 

great abundance; he thus, became one of 

the rich men of the east as a result of 

keeping his covenant of tithing with the 

Lord God. 

With some doubts, but with a sincere 

desire to test if the Bible is true, to prove 

without a shadow of doubt that there is 

a personal God and that His promises are 

from everlasting to everlasting and that 

they are intended for people of this day, 

Mr. Kerr, on June 1, 1902, made a special 

covenant to set aside a certain percentage 

of his income for the work of the Lord. 

At that time he had a mortgage on his lit- 

tle home, owed many obligations, and was 


burdened with cares and worries, espe. 

cially of a financial nature. However, he 

determined to prove God as did Jacob 

(Prov. 3:9-10; Lev. 27:30-32; Gen. 14:20 

and 13:2; especially Mal. 3:7-18). 

Mr. Kerr often remarked that if modern-day 

sceptics wanted proof that there 

is a God, and that the Bible is His Holy 

Word and all its promises are true, all 

that is necessary is to tithe for one year 

and God will prove to them without doubt 

that He is the same yesterday, and today, 

and forever. 

Within t ee months after Mr. Kerr be. 

gan to tit ? e, unexpected and unforeseen 

blessings cam to him-so much so that 

it seemed to him that God had thus 

opened his eyes to behold His love and 

His faithfulness to His proFises especelly 

made in regard to tathang, or gavang 

onetenth. 

That same year, Mr. Kerr, with a very 

small capital but with strong faith in 

God‘s tithing promises contained in Malachi 

3:10-12, organized the firm known 

as the Kerr Glass Manufacturing Company, 

which is one of the largest firms 

selling fruit jars in the United States. The 

jars were manufactured for him in San 

Francisco. 

At the time of the San Francisco earth. 

quake, this firm was manufacturing his 

fruit jars. Mr. Kerr had put practically 

every cent he had in the world into this 

fruit jar enterprise, and then came the 

earthquake! His friends came to him and 

said: “Kerr, you are a ruined man.” He 

replied, “I don’t believe it; or if I am, 

then the Bible is not tyue. I k.now,,God 

wall not go back on Has promzses. He 

wired to San FranciSco, and received the 

following reply:-“Your factory is in the 

heart of the fire, and undoubtedly is ,destroyed. 

The heat is so intense we will be 

unabtf! to find out anything for some 

days. 

What a time of testing this was! But 

his faith in the Lord never wavered. He 

believed Malachi 3:11, and stood on this 

promise moved. About a week after the 

earthquake and fire a second telegram ar. 

rived, saying, “Everything for a mile and 

a half on all sides of the factory burned; 

but your factory miraculously saved.” 

Mr. Kerr immediately boarded a train 

for San Francisco. This factory was a 

two-storied wooden building containing 

the huge tanks where the glass was melted, 

which tanks were kept at 2,500 degrees; 

oil was used for fuel, and therefore 

this building was the most inflammble 

in San Francisco. The fire had raged on 

all sides of this glass factory, creeping 

up to the wooden fence surrounding the 

building and even fire leaped around and 

over and scorching it; then the flames 

went beyond the building, burning every 

thing in their path. However, not even 

the wooden .fence was burned, nor the 

building, and not a single glass jar was 

cracked by earthquake or fire! 

This was nothing short of a miracle of 

God‘s divine power in protecting this man 

who held his faith that God‘s promises 

made to those who tithe would never be 

broken by any circumstance. 

Thus we have a concrete example that 

verifies God’s promises which He made 

THE VOICE OF HEALING December, 1952

to any person anywhere, anytime, to bless 

that person on financial lines if he will 

accurately, systematically and continually 

lay aside, the tenth for the work of the 

Lord. 

Anyone can thus prove God’s promises. 

You will always find that the blessings 

of tithing will not only be financial, but 

they will also be physical, mental ancl 

more wonderful-deeply spiritual!

“TWO LUMINOUS HANDS” 

GUIDE CAR 

(The following is Chapter 10 of a 

booklet en t i t 1 e d “Sup ern at ur a 1 

Touches: by Jeannette E. Marcl?y, 

published by the Gospel Publzshang 

House, Springfield, Massoura.) 

Psalm 34:7 

“The angel of the Lord encampeth 

round about them that fear Him. and 

delivereth them.” 

Hebrews 1:14 

“Are they not all ministering spirits, 

sent forth to minister for them who 

shall be heirs of salvation?’’ 

OME YEARS AGO while in New 

S York, I was delighted to be invited 

to accompany some dear friends who 

were motoring to New Jersey on a 

short business trip. They knew that 

my relatives lived near their destination 

and that I should be glad to see 

them. As they had little time, we packed 

a few things and started immediately. We 

left at four in the afternoon and arrived 

in New Jersey at four in the morning. 

After resting only a few hours at a hotel, 

as my friend had a business appointment 

at eight o’clock that morning, we got into 

the car and started down town. Progress 

was slow in the heavy morning traffic, 

and I wondered how my friend would 

ever get through. Soon he stopped in 

the thickest part of the moving traffic 

and, as he was getting out of the car, 

said, “Here, Sister Marcley, you take the 

wheel quickly. My wife does not drive. 

Use-the car today and go anywhere you 

wish, only come back for me at five 

o’clock.” 

In my delight at this opportunity of going 

to surprise my loved ones, I gladly 

took the wheel without giving a thought 

to the heavy trafflc. I had to hurry, so 

step?? on the gas I began to move 

slow y, ooking for the chance to get out 

of the tangle of cars. But, to my dismay, 

I heard horns blowing on all sides and 

saw traffic officers waving frantically for 

me to move on. Suddenly I realized that 

it was imposbible for me to drive through 

safely. My friend seated at my side did 

not at the time know of my fears. I had 

never driven a car of this make, and it 

was difflcult for me to handle. I did not 

want to frighten her. Realizing that God 

was the only one who could help me out 

of my dilemma-for I was powerless to 

move on-I offered a silent prayer, as 

Nehemiah did when he handed the golden 

cup to the king. “0 God,” I prayed, “please 

take me through this traffic.” I remember 

now the simple, childlike trust I put in 

that prayer. Immediately I felt a touch on 

my shoulders, two arms reached over 

them, and two luminous hands gripped 

the wheel. While my foot was feeding 

the gas, those angelic hands steered the 

car safely through the thick traffic; then, 

making a right turn on a side street, the 

car stopped at the curb, and my deliverer’s 

hands vanished. 

My friend had been so busy watching 

what was going on about us that she did 


not realize what was taking place. She 

said to me, “How did you make it? There 

was Vot a paper‘s breadth between you 

and the cars that were whizzing past on 

each side.” 

’ I replied, “The angel of the Lord 

encampeth round about them that 

fear Him, and delivereth them.” 

God had sent His angel to deliver. 

Praise, oh, praise His precious name! A 

holy hush fell upon us and we sat silently 

in the car, thanking God for His mar- 

velous deliverance. When we went on our 

way, it was with hearts full of His pres- 

ence, and rejoicing in His mighty love. 

SOUL WINNERS PRAYER 

SAVES ALCOHOLIC VICTIM 

Jeremiah 33:3- 

“Call unto Me, and I will answer 

thee, and show thee great and mighty 

things, which thou knowest not.” 

WAS saved and healed in Rev. 

I Raymond T. Richey’s fist revival 

in Beaumont in 1926. I saw as great 

miracles then as I have ever seen and 

was inspired by Brother Richey to be- 

lieve God when He said, “Call unto me, 

and I will answer thee, and show thee 

great and mighty things, which thou 

knowest not.” 

Following this revival I received the 

Baptism of the Holy Spirit and soon aft- 

er, while in prayer, the Holy Spirit very 

graphically gave me a vision of. Christ 

dying on the Cross. I was surprised at His 

looks, when I was suddenly face to face 

with a young, handsome Jewish man, of 

strong build, nailed to a cross in awful 

anguish, His blood streaming down. It 

was warm and I was so close to Him I 

could smell it. Oh! the look of agony He 

gave me! 

I went out from this vision to win the 

lost. God soon called me to work in Beau- 

mont’s red light district. The love of 

Christ, through me, soon drew the girls 

to love me. There was one girl, however, 

who would never look at me or talk to 

me. She was pretty, except for her blon- 

deened hair. She was a sot drunkard. 

Sometimes when I went down there her 

little room would be locked, and I would 

know that she had gotten so wild in 

drinking that they had put her in jail un- 

til sober. She would soon be back again 

on the horrible job. One day out of a 

heart of love I said, “Oh honey, why don’t 

you love me like the other girls do? I am 

your friend.” She said, “Mrs. Crosby, I 

know that you really love us girls, and 

I will tell you why I don’t want to talk 

to you so you will understand. I am wor- 

ried enough now about going to hell with- 

out some religious person talking to me 

about it.” I said, “Oh but Dear, you don’t 

have to go to hell. Jesus died for you!’ 

She said she knew that but added, f‘I have

knees and said, “Well Lord, I don’t know 

how you will do it but I know you will.” 

Soon after, a skilled laborer fell in love 

with and married her (most of these girls 

die insane, dope fiends, or of loathsome 

diseases). On their honeymoon they went 

to a tent revival and were both converted. 

This girl has the Baptism of the Holy 

Spirit and has lived a lovely Christian life 

for years. And now, too, she has the love-

vision. She abhors liquor. Her very aged 

parents still live in a comfortable little 

home which the husband provided for 

them next to their own nice home. He 

now owns his own business also.

The various gifts of the Spirit have 

been mightily manifested through the 

anointed ministry of Brother Mastro. 

Many have been called from the audience 

and told of their afflictions by the Spirit 

of God and then were healed by the Power 

of God. Numerous afflictions have been 

revealed, such as: 

Heart trouble, kidney disease, neqvous. 

ness, back injury, stomach trouble, diseas- 

es of the throat and various other af. 

Rictions. 

The people have been healed by His 

mighty power, as Brother Mastro laid his 

hands upon them and commanded the 

diseases and afflictions to leave, in the 

t.dme of Jesus Christ! They went away 

praising and magnifying God. 

Brother Mastro has an outstanding 

ministry oP faith, and he brings soul stir- 

ring messages which build up bhe faith of 

the people in our Lord and Saviour Jesus 

Christ and enables bhem to reach out and 

accept greater things from the Lord. Many 

gathered about the altars for prayer and 

much heart-searching.

“GREAT REJOICING” MANSFIELD SEES MIRACLES 

By Rev. James E. Andrews, 

Pastor, Assembly of God. 

Bucyrus, Ohio 

OUR THEME WAS “Jesus, mighty to 

save.” In the power of that Name 

devils feared and fled. 

Brother Gardner had kissed the oracle 

of heaven. His messages poured forth as 

sweet oil upon the audience in light and 

perfection. Sinners with eyes bejeweled in 

tears, sparkled with hope as they walked 

the rugged hill of Calvary to bathe their 

troubled spirits in the faith of their 

Saviour, whose precious blood upon God’s 

Holy altar made atonement for their 

souls, received the Father’s kiss of peace 

and were reconciled to Him. 

Some two hundred and fifty sinners and 

backsliders found the promise was not 

vain, and became radiant in proclaiming 

their newly found joy, others rejoiced in 

the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit in 

Baptism. God’s power was present to heal 

the sick and great was their rejoicing. 

The Fellowship was a grand piece of 

team work. It was easy to work, pray 

and believe, and our prayer is, that God 

will bless our esteemed Brother and send 

him back into our midst again.

HE VELMER GARDNEX PARTY 

T held a three-week campaign for 

us in Mansfield, Ohio, in May. Growth 

in attendance and interest was manifested 

each night. Souls were won to 

Jesus at each service. The Lord Jesus, 

Himself, stood in the midst when 

prayer was offered for the sick. 

As the meeting progressed, it was not 

uncommon to hear people in the stores 

and on the streets talking of the great 

tent revival. Several specific testimonies 

of healing have come to my attention. A 

few follow: 

A small boy was kicked in the head by 

a mule. He was prayed for at the meeting, 

but soon became so much worse that 

his parents took him to the hospital. The 

doctors told the family that the nerves 

in his head were dead, that meningitis of 

the brain and lock-jaw had set in, and 

that there was no hope for him. The 

child’s pastor, with Brother Gardner, went 

to the hospital in the night to pray again. 

By morning the little fellow was sitting 

up asking for food, and is now home well. 

A lady from the First Christian Church 

returned to the platform after prayer to 

testify that she was immediately healed 

of deafness in one ear, having been deaf 

for thirty years. 

A deaf mute, twenty years old, heard and 

spoke for the first time in her life. 

A man whose arms were paralyzed 

from a tetanus shot, who had been told 

that he would be in that condition for at 

least three months and would possibly 

never recover, after being prayed for by 

Brother Gardner, was driving his car in 

less than a week, fully recovered. 

A lady, who has since the revival been 

attending our church, testified to healing 

of a rupture; another of healing of a 

goiter. Also, a naembcr of OUT ch~rch, who 

had been deaf in one aar for masy years 

testified that, as lie stood in service one 

night, his deaf ear popped open. 

Brother Gardner’s anointed preaching 

lifted the faith of believers and revived 

many cold Christians. A great wave of 

revival power is cresting in our city, as 

a result of this wonderful revival.

THE MORNING COME7H 

AND ALSO THE NIGHT 

By William Branham 

This Sermon taken from Brother Brunham’s book 

The William Branham Sermonsabtainable from TVH 

WANT TO address a few words to 

I you .from Isaiah 2l:ll-12. 

“The burden! of. Dumah. He calleth 

to me out of. Seir, Watchman, what 

of the night? - Watcltman. what of

will znquire, enquire ye: return, 

come. 

PERILOUS TIMES 

We axe living in perilous times. There 

are wars and rumors of wars, and judgment 

is coming. This is the generation 

which shall see all things fulfilled. When 

Christ in Matthew 24, spoke of His Coming, 

the Cross was taking Him away, and 

the Gospel age was coming on. During 

that time the Holy Spirit was to come 

and make the people ready-for the, Second 

Advent. It will be the most glorious 

time of all. when Jesus shall come the 

Second time in ‘power and glory, to receive 

His church. 

Recently I’was told that many of the 

Jews returning to Palestine had been 

reading the New Testament for the first 

time, They say, “If Jesus is the Messiah, 

let Him perform the sign od a prophet 

and we will accept Him.” I pray that 

when God permits me to go to Jerusalem, 

that His power will come down as it has 

here in America and in other countries. 

Jesus can prove that He is a Prophet, and 

can do those things that He did back there 

’n the,early days. I hope to see a revival

that will sweep literally tens of thousands 

into the kingdom of God. Recently I 

learned that the six-pointed Star of Da- 

vid-some say it is the oldest flag in the 

world--is flying over Jerusalem tonight, 

for the first time in 2500 years. The Jews 

are the Fig Tree that Jesus spoke of in 

Matthew 24. We know that this genera- 

tion shall not pass away until all these 

things be fulfilled. For we are the only 

generation that has seen the Fag Tree 

putting forth its buds. I believe that this 

generation shall see Jesus Christ come 

the Second time in glory and majesty. 

When we see the unrest, strife, unset- 

tled peace, men’s hearts failing them for 

fear, perplexing times, distress between 

nations, all these things coming to pass, 

then it behooves us as in the days of 

Isaiah, to look up and say, “Watchman, 

what of the night?” In the days of old, 

the watchman, when it was dark, climbed 

the steps, went into the tower and checked 

the time by the stars as they passed. I 

can imagine in the city of Jerusalem, in 

Isaiah’s time, a man on a warm night. He 

can’t rest; he’s longing to see morning 

come, and he cries out, “Watchman, what 

of the night?” I think that applies today. 

Men and women are living under the pres- 

sure of sin and its power, the devil de- 

ceiving them; there is a running to and 

fro, men’s hearts failing them for fear, 

looking for those things coming upon the 

earth, and seeing God’s Bible being ful- 

filled-again they cry out, “Watchman, 

what of the night? What time is it? When 

will the morning come?” The watchman 

WILLIAM BRANHAM 

cried back, “The morning cometh, and 

the night also, 

DIVINE JUDGMENT NEAR 

It is time that we were crying out, 

“What of the night?” Distress is upon 

the land. Communism is sweeping over 

the earth and there are wars and rumors 

of wars. They are talking of peace, peace. 

But when they say, peace, then cometh 

sudden destruction. The world is ripe for 

destruction. When people refuse to know 

the truth, when they turn their back on 

the things of God, and call the power of 

God superstition and want a form of re- 

ligion, I think it is time to have an old- 

fashioned God-sent revival like. in the 

days of Elijah. Elijah looked up into the 

heavens three years and six months, and 

said, “The whole sky looks like brass.” 

Brass is a symbol of judgment. The braa 

en altar, the brazen serpent-the serpent 

itself was sin, and the brass, spoke of Di. 

vine judgment. Divine judgment was upon 

Israel because they were an unbelieving 

people that .had turned their backs upon 

the true, livzng God and went to worshap 

ping pagan gods and idols. 

A SEPARATE PEOPLE 

What we need these days is a good old. 

fashioned Holy Ghost meeting-a digging 

down and scrubbing up. The Bible warns 

us to beware lest a root of bitterness 

spring up. Down in the country where I 

came from, there was a good sprink, and 

I used to drink from it. I could tell that 

the water was good for it was.clear. 

Sometimes a farmer’s hog would get out 

and wallow in the spring, and cause it to 

be muddy. I tell -you brother, sometimes 

somethmg happens to the Holy Ghost 

church. It looks as if the hogs got ihto the 

stream and muddied it up. The Baptism 

of the Holy Ghost is to.make one differ. 

ent, to act different and to.look different. 

God is a Separator in bringing His pee 

ple out of sin. There in Egypt, God sep 

arated the people, making a difference 

between His people and the world-the 

Israelites and the Egyptians. ‘Today God 

makes a diflerence between His .’peopk 

and the world. When a maw is borqagain 

the Blood of the Lamb washes away hk 

sins. He then is separated from the world

Jesus. 

In the Old Testament, Elijah was get- 

ting reaay for a revival. What was the 

first thing that he did? He told the peo- 

ple to call all their id01 worshippers to 

the mount. He then said, ”If the Lord be 

God, follow him; but if Baal, follow him.” 

(I Kings 18.91) We have that same chal- 

lenge tonight. What made Communistic 

Russia what she is today? Because those 

that professed religion were no different 

than those of the world. They got sick 

and tired of their gods and their taking 

the people’s money and giving them noth- 

ing in return. Elijah said, “Come up here, 

you prophets of Baal, and you prophecy 

. . . and let the God that answers by fire, 

be God.” 

GOD’S POWER AVAILJWH 

It seemed funny to Ahab-Elijah stand- 

ing there against all those Baal prophets. 

Ahab trusted in his sword, his army and 

his gods. Let me tell you something bro- 

ther, the nation that will trust in its ar- 

mor instead of God-cursed be that na- 

tion! I can see David and Goliath stand- 

ing out on that hillside; Goliath had all 

the advantage over David. He was a war. 

rior, he had his armor, his shield, and 

his spear. He said that he was the big- 

gest man among all of them, and no man 

could whip him. That is just about the 

attitude of the nations today, when they 

get themselves all armored up with jet 

planes and atomic bombs. But there came 

little David against Goliath. Saul said, 

“Thou art but a youth, and he a man .of 

war fzom his youth.” David answered 

Saul, . . . Thy servant kept his father’s 

sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, 

and took a lamb out of the flock: And I 

went out after him, and smote him, and 

delivered it out of his mouth: and when 

he arose against me, I caught him by his 

beard, and smote him, and slew him.” He 

went on to tell Saul that if God gave him 

power over these, how much more would 

He give him pwwer over the uncircum- 

cised PhiZistine. 

I’d rather trust God and have none of 

man’s armor at all when atomic bombs 

start falling in the world! David walked 

out and let them put Saul’s armor upon 

him. You can imagine the young lad with 

Saul‘s seven-foot armor. That’s the way 

they send a preacher out today. They 

take him down to the seminary and em- 

balm him first. You know these old cold 

churches remind me of a morgue, with 

a lot of dead members in them. Then the 

ecclesiastical preachers put some sort of 

embalming fluid in them, and they stay 

dead too. 

I can see David out there with his great 

big-old armor on, and I can imagine him 

saying, “I don’t know anything about this 

thing; I have not proved it.” I wish there 

were more to prove their experience. Sal- 

vation does not come by knowing geology, 

but by knowing kneeology. I can see Da- 

vid as he walked out there, and how the 

giant said, “Do you mean that you have 

come out here to fight me? ... 1’11 give 

your flesh to the fowls of the air, and the 

beasts of the field.” David replied, “You 

have come with a shield and a spear and 

a sword, but I am coming in the name of 

the God of Israel.” The most powerful am- 

munition in the world is the mighty name 

of the Lord Jesus Christ! We find in the 

story that little David ran out with a 

sling and picked up five rocks, put them 

in his sling and went out to meet the 

Philistine. Five rocks, five fingers to sling 

it amund. , . . J-E-S-U-S . . . F-A-I-T-H. 

There it goes winding round and round. 

And when David turned. it loose, it hit 

the target and the Philistine fell dead 

on the ground. 

REBUILD ALTARS 

When Elijah said, “Gather your peo- 

ple out now; we’ll see who is God,” he 

rolled him up twelve stones. One stone 

was €or each tribe of the children of 

Israel. And he repaired the altar of the 

Lord that was broken down. If ever the 

altar of the Lord needs repairing, it is to- 

day. The beer, the card tables have taken 

the place of the old-fashioned altar. The 

Methodists and the Baptists ought to do 

the same thing-repair the altar of the 

Lord in their homes. America will not be 

saved unless she rebuilds the altar in her 

homes. 

We see perilous times coming. Trouble 

is on every hand. When we were in Fin- 

land they told us, “Look out America: it’s 

coming your way.“ They told us about jet 

planes and underground hangars even on 

their borders. Trains that ran through 

that area had to have their windows 

blacked out. There may be a time in Am- 

erica when a million people will be killed 

in a few minutes time. Judgment is at 

hand. God does not destroy. God pre- 

serves. But man through his knowledge 

destroys himself. 

In the garden of Eden there were two 

trees; one was the Tree of Life, and the 

other was the Tree of Knowledge of Good 

and Evil. When man leaves the tree of 

Faith and eats from the Tree of Knowl- 

edge, he brings destruction to himself. It 

is time to call out, “Watchman, what of 

the night?” As the watchman of the Bible 

climbed the tower to watch the stars, to 

tell the time of night, so we have a watch- 

man who has climbed the ramparts of 

heaven, and has sat down at the right 

hand of God. Our Watchman is Jesus 

Christ, and He tells us that the night is 

coming. 

CARRIED ABOVE THE STORM 

Sometime ago I was out in Colorado in 

the mountains, watching an eagIe. The old 

eagle was taking her little ones from the 

nest. She got her wings all set, and with 

the little eaglets mouths in their mother’s 

wings, she flew down to a green, grassy 

field. The little ones began. running 

around. chirping, and eating grass and 

having a good time. The old mother went 

right straight to the highest peak she 

could get to and she just sat there. She 

watched, looking everywhere to see if 

there were a coyote or any other ani- 

mal .that would cause them harm. Aft- 

er awhile, she drew up her big head. (I 

was watching through binoculars.) Some. 

thing was wrong; she was restless. She 

could smell a storm coming in the dis- 

tance. Those northers come very fast. She 

threw up her big wings and flew down 

to the valley, to warn her little ones of 

the coming storm. Friend, Father is 

watching over us. He is watching the 

Church to protect it and to take it to be 

with Him whea the storm breaks. 

Christ has said, “I give unto you power 

to tread on serpents and scorpions, and 

over all the power of the enemy: and 

nothing shall by any means hurt you.” 

(Luke 10:19) But there are many today 

that deny the power of God. The word 

says that it would be so; people would be 

highminded, heady, lovers of pleasure 

more than lovers of God . . . having a 

form of godliness, but denying the power 

thereof . . . From such turn away.” Now 

when that bird saw that storm, she spread 

her wings, let out a terrible scream, and 

down to earth she came. The little eagles 

put their feet on her big wings, and went 

straight into the face of the storm, then 

ran into the shelter of the rock. I began 

shouting and praising God. I thought, yes, 

Jesus sits watching over His little flock, 

and one day there will come a storm 

sweeping over the land. When ttie great 

persecutfon comes, and judgment falls 

upon the earth, then Jesus shall m e 

upon the wings of glory, and we can flee 

to the Rock in the time of trouble. Halle- 

lujah! “Watchman, watchman; what of 

the night?” He said, “The morning cometh 

and the night also.” It is always the dark- 

est before the dawn. There is night just 

before the break of day. It is usually the 

darkest time when the stars shine the 

brightest. The early risers are the ones 

who see the morning star! Jesus Christ 

is the Morning Star! The Bible says that 

“He that oveyFometh lyill be given the 

Morning Star. (Rev. 2.96-28)

and the Sons of God shouted for 

Joy; and they gave songs in the night, 

making Christ, the song of the adolescent; 

Christ, the song of the adult; Christ, the 

song of the aged. 

The world has made a noble effort to 

catch this song of heaven. Handel, Bach, 

Mendelssohn, Watts, and Weslev are a 

part of that great numbcr zoho have 

tuned their ear to the heavenly chorus. 

Paradoxically, too, men can sing better 

than angels, for although music does not 

come from broken strings, it comes superbly 

from broken hearts. Poor, deaf 

Beethoven, in penury, brightened the 

world; friendless, misunderstood Mozart, 

whose funeral was attended only by the 

undertaker, lifted men on wings of melody 

to God. 

Therefore, we have not only the Gloria 

of the Angels, the Magnificat of Mary, 

the Nunc Dimittis of Simeon, but the 

music of Luther’s Reformation, the melody 

of Wesley’s Methodism, and the sing 

ing of the present day church. For, since 

Christ was cradled under the soft lullaby 

of the angels no church has been without 

it8 song. As the Angels shook silver song 

over the midnight hills of Jerusalem, so 

the Christians of all ages have scattered 

music over the wide spaces of the years, 

thus placing’’ musical flowers upon the 

aths and lawns of earth’s sorrowing mil- 

tOllS, 

.How, especially, does the Christmas mu- 

sic brighten up our December days. For, 

‘in this month? hope comes to us with 

summer heat, in the very midst of bleak; 

stormy winter: on the wings of song. De- 

cember often brings dark, cloudy days, 

but it also ushers in more cheer than any 

other month on the calendar, because dur- 

$ng its day-music reigns su reme upon 

the throne in church, schoof home and 

street. 

Thus, there is little reason for wonder- 

ment when a-man 1s converted, delivered 

14 

from chains of fear, and from castles of 

sin, amid much singing, shouting, and re- 

joicing. For the coming of Christ brings 

music and song. 

TEE SlLENCE OF CHRISTMAS 

Yes, it was a silent night when Christ 

was born, and the men had to journey 

down that Bethlehem road by faith. There 

was no outward display of salvation after 

the angels left the scene; there was noth- 

ing but silence. Many poems and songs 

emphasize that stillness which followed 

upon the sacred introduction of Christ- 

mas: “Oh little town of Bethlehem, how 

still we See thee lie”; “The world in 

solemn stillness lay to hear the angels 

sing”; “Holy night. Silent night.” Today, 

we must re-enter that sanctorium sanctum 

of stillness, for the momentum of the 

years has speeded up our form of worship. 

“Oh where‘s the road to Bethlehem? 

And who wzll lead me there? 

The wise men, when I ask of them, 

In the same query share. 

The shops with Christmas gifts are gay, 

Where moneychangers meet 

But who’s for Bethlehem today 

By its dear one-way street ? 

I ask the shepherds as they watch 

Over their flocks by night, 

But no directing word can catch 

My longing to delight. 

And still goes on the desperate search 

For what so few have found: 

In mart, or street-in home or church 

Oh who’s for Bethlehem bound? 

I ask the angels, and behold, 

A glory fills the skies. 

Once more I see, as long of old, 

The star of Bethlehem rise. 

Through “Peace on eartlc-good-will to 

men” 

It points the blessed way, 

And leads our troubled heart again 

To where the young child lay.” 

The Christian must be fed before he 

can feed others; he must receive power 

before he can impart power. Therefore, 

he must serve his sentence under the 

scepter of silence, journeying under the 

fluttering of no flag, amid the blaring of 

no band, but “walking in the light” of one 

shining, silver-dusted star. 

This school of silence will deepen the 

Chrkthn’s sympathy; broaden his under- 

standing; lengthen his kindness; heighten 

hia grntstue; and shorten hk criticism. 

Than, he unll learn that when a21 h-zs 

hopes are sealed in a awlesa sarcophagurr 

of shadows, tlrsre i8 a Bethl%hmn star for

his dark sky; and when a sinking sun of 

sorrow shuts the golden gates of his day, 

it only brings into prominence the glittering 

diamond of a star created for one purpose: 

to take him to JESUS. 

He was to be the people’s Christ, not 

isolated by royalty and palaces, in order 

that He might share their sorrows and experience 

their privations. He was born in 

a stable that He might make it a sane 

tuary, amid trouble that he might make it 

a throne; He was born in the midst of 

dirt in order to cleanse it, in the midst of 

pain that He might relieve it, in the midst 

of darkness in order to brighten it, in 

the midst of pover,ty that He might overcome 

it, and in the midst of sin in order 

to redeem it. 

Yes, “Born in a BARN,” that all people 

might find Him. But, you say, “I cannot 

see Him.” It is because you are looking 

too high. The sign was “Ye shall find the 

Babe among the lowly, lowing cattle.” 

Get down, down upon your knees, and 

gaze into a manger: HE IS THERE! Does 

it conflict with your cultured creeds to 

learn that Christ was cradled in a cattle 

crib? Well, friend, the Lord of heaven 

was only teaching us the lesson that the 

barest necessities were sufflcient for Him: 

and that when we stoop the lowest we 

reach the highest. 

Let us continue to lay our gifts of grati. 

tude at the feet of this Holy One, for 

there is a world to be redeemed, where is 

the redeemer; a world to be aroused, 

where is the prophet; a world to be healed, 

where is the physician; a world to be 

brightened, where is the artist; a world 

to be protected, .where is the shepherd; a 

world to be encouraged, where is the 

musician? This BABE in a manger is the 

answer. This Christ Child: the church 

needs Him; the school needs Him. the 

state needs Him, humanity needs Him, 

YOU NEED HIM. So when your spirit 

starts to sink as a sunset at sea, stay before 

the shrine of a sure Saviour until 

the smiles and songs start up in your soul. 

Then, the bells of worship will ring in 

the steeple of your soul. 

He has come 60 solve every problem, 

smooth every path, meet every emergency, 

assuage every grief, deliver from every 

temptation, and forgive every sin. I 

THE SEQUENCE OF CHRISTMAS 

The She herds returned singing because 

they someiow knew‘ that this Bethlehem 

Babe would some day open the eyes blinded 

by sin; unstop the deafened ears; and 

still the souls unseated by the reign of 

powerful passion and fevered ambition. 

Thus, the world full of sufferers would 

learn to know that Christ is the healer; 

the world full of famine stricken peoples 

would discover that He is the Bread of 

life; the world of error and deceit would 

find that He is the truth; and the world 

full of lost millions would soon know that 

He is the way, the right way, the only

What was it the angels sang? Unto US

HE WORD “HEALTH” occurs 

T only twice in our New Testament 

(Acts 27:34 and 111 John 2) where 

it represents two different Greek 

words. The second reference surely 

expresses one of the loveliest birthday 

wishes we can imagine - “Beloved, 

I pray above all things that thou 

mayest prosper and be in health, even 

as thy soul prospereth.” The same word, 

meaning to be sound, healthy, well, is 

translated “whole” in Luke 5:31 and 7:10, 

where the idea of physical health is clear. 

The other reference takes us into the 

vivid description by Luke of the disastrous 

voyage to Rome in which he accompanied 

Paul. Amid howling winds, 

driving rain, leaden skies, on a doomed 

ship, and surrounded by despairing men, 

God‘s servant says “Take some meat: for 

this is for your health”-and then proceeds 

to eat some bread, after he had 

given God thanks, before them all . 

“Then were they all of good cheer.” in’ 

this case the word is that important word 

“soteria” that keeps on recurring throughout 

the New Testament. In 40 instances 

it is translated “Salvation.” The verb 

“sozo” is translated “save” no less than 

92 times. So we might think of Paul saying, 

“Take some food, for this is for your 

salvation.” And so, physically, it proved 

to be. 

I am indebted to J. A. C. Mzwray in the 

BRITISH WEEKLY. for a refreshing reminder 

that “soteria” can be translated

gotten only shadow, if you have desired 

class and received only glass, if you have 

desired things sacred and arrived ht 

things only secular, then, you need JESUS. 

Years ago. when my father was an 

evangelist. tic conducted a two-week re- 

vival mce:ing in a large Eastern peni- 

tentiary. On the last day, he went to the 

Warden and asked if there was any man 

in the prison who had not heard him 

preach. The Warden said, “Yes, there is 

one man in the prison who has not heard 

you, he is the worst criminal in the his- 

tory of the state. He has killed six men 

that we know of, and he is in solitary con- 

finement. He dies on the electric chair in 

three days.” My father asked for permis- 

sion to go down into the cell to preach to 

that man. But, at iirst, permission was 

denied him. FinallS, after much persua- 

sion the Warden not only permitted him 

to go, but to take has LWO week old baby 

with him. 

When Dad went into that cell with his 

baby, the prisoner leaped toward the 

baby, and looked at the walls and floor 

“health,” and “soxo” to heal or to save. 

Furthermore, he points out the very in- 

teresting and suggestive fact that John 

Wycliffe (19201384) who gave us the very 

first translatzon of the New Testament 

into the English tongue, ALWAYS ren- 

ders the word “health” instead .of “sal- 

vatwn.” Some of the passages shine with 

new significance by this translation as, 

for instance, the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 

19:9) “This day is health come to this 

house.” Or Paul’s great testimony in Ro- 

mans 1:16 “I am not ashamed of the Gos- 

pel of Christ; for it is the virtue of God 

unto health for believers.” Working in 

the opposite direction we can render Luke 

8:36-“By what means he that was pos- 

sessed of the devils was saved,” or Acts 

14:9 where Paul perceived that the crip- 

ple had faith to be saved. 

This enriching bit of Bible study all 

adds up to the one important truth that 

when we speak pf “salvation” we ought 

not limit it to the soul, but should under- 

stand that it includes a gracious place 

for the present needs of the body too; 

and when we speak of “healing” in evan- 

gelism we rightly include it as a part of 

full salvation. When we announce an 

“evangelistic AND healing campaign” wc 

are making an almost unnecessary dis- 

tinction from the point of view of scrip- 

tural terminology, although it may wisely 

avoid confusion in popular thinking if we 

keep them separate. But from a biteral 

standpoint on New Testament language 

a divine healing meeting is very richly 

a “salvation” meeting; and a healing 


as though he would love to dash the 

child‘s brains out against the sides of the 

cell. But, quickly my father thrust his 

son into.the hands of the criminal. and 

said, “Sar, I understand that you only 

have three days to live, and Z thought you 

would like to hold a baby again, before 

you die. Now, this is my only son, but I 

trust you with him; and as you have em- 

braced him in your arms, accept, also the 

BABE OF BETHLEHEM,.God’s only son. 

For, God has given you His most precious 

gift: the Christ child. That prisoner fell 

to his knees, and with the tear drops 

falling upon &he baby’s oheeks gave his 

heart to the Lord Jesus Christ. Just be- 

fore he got in the electric chair that fel- 

low sai;, “I want to meet that baby in 

heaven, and some-day I expect to meet 

him, as the first man I ever helped win tu 

God. 

So may I ask you to surrender to the 

Bethiehem Babe, this Christmas season, 

and have your sins all washed away. Then, 

in your soul you will hear THE CHRIST- 

MAS CAROL.

meeting means that.my whole spirit and 

soul and body can be graciously saved 

and sanctified. 

The same rich truth is affirmed when 

our Bibles speak of us being “made 

whole.” To he healthy is just to be whole. 

“Whole” comes from the Old English 

root “Halig,” from whence “Haelth” 

which is just our modern word “Health” 

with a transposition of vowels. We still 

speak of healthy people, particularly old 

people, as being “hale,” that is-robust 

and vigorous. Of very helpful significance 

is the fact that from the same root-word 

“Halig” we get our word “HOLY” (Ger- 

man, “Heilig”). Rightly understood to .be 

“holy” is just to be in robust and vig 

omus health of soul and spirit. Scriptural 

holiness is not that rather sickly, ascetic, 

white-faced, negative quality that so often 

it is wrongly imagined to be. To be holy 

in God’s sense is to be living a full life, 

red-blooded, active, strong and healthy in 

perfect obedience to the law of the Spirit 

of life in Christ Jesus.

LIFE ‘OF DR. PRICE 

(Continued from Page 2) 

your life. You are young and inexperi- 

enced. If you take this step you will re- 

gret it as long as you live.” Listening to 

his voice I yielded. He pleaded for the 

chance to show me wherein these people 

were wrong. All afternoon I sat with him 

in his study, and when I left he had given 

me half a suitcase of books that I prom- 

ised to read. I did not go to the prayer 

meeting. That was the turning point of 

my life. With all my heart I believe that 

God led me to Spokane so that I might 

step through the open door into the glori- 

ous experience that I am enjoying today, 

but I listened to the voice of a modern- 

ist, and by my own act I closed the door. 

I foolishly turned my back on the Cross 

and started along the trail that led to the 

labyrinth of modernism. 

I very soon got to the point where I 

could explain every religious emotion 

from the standpoint of psychology. The 

result of it all was that I drifted down 

the long highway that led to modernism. 

I never gave an altar call-never led a 

soul to Jesus-never preached the glory of 

the born-again experience. I was spirit- 

ually blind, leading my people into the 

ditch. 

The years marched swiftly by. Method- 

ist pastorate followed pastorate. Slowly 

and surely I was climbing the rungs of 

the ladder to what my ministerial breth- 

ren called success. I began to be in de- 

mand as a speaker in churches through- 

out the countryside. I commenced to em- 

phasize the social ethics of Jesus. How 

my heart grieves when I contemplate 

those days that might have been filled 

with so much good for God, and yet, aft- 

er all, they were so empty. After a while 

I reached the place where my godly pre- 

siding elder had to take me to task for 

some of my modernistic utterances. I be- 

gan to feel the restraining, binding in- 

fluence of the Methodist Episcopal Sys- 

tem. I made up my mind to sever my con- 

nection with Methodism and branch out 

into the broader field that the Congrega- 

tional Church offered me. 

After a ‘time in Alaska, I took a pas- 

torate in Santa Rosa. Then came the call 

to Oakland. I became a popular type of 

preacher. I was appointed a “Four Min- 

ute Man” and used to speak from every 

theater stage in the city, during the days 

of World War I. My work brought me a 

letter from Woodrow Wilson, then Presi- 

dent of the United States. I belonged to 

five , fraternal organizations. For many 

months I was on the stage during the 

week and in the pulpit on Sunday. 

LODI, CALIFORNIA 

Then I moved to Lodi, California, a 

beautiful town of Northern California. I 

was pastor of the First Congregational 

Church. It was a wonderful church, with 

wonderful people. Sickness came into my 

home, and when all my own funds were 

gone battling it, that church loyally took 

up the burden and gave me more than 

was needed. I was presented with two au- 

tomobiles while there. I greatly enjoyed 

my pastorate. 

LIGHT FROM HEAVEN 

It all began when a good brother came 

running across the lawn outside the par- 

sonage to meet me one summer day. His 

eyes were fairly dancing and on his face 

was the joy of heaven itself. Clasping my 

hand, he said, “Brother Price - Halle- 

lujah! -Hallelujah!-Praise the Lord!” I 

gazed at him in amazement. Expressions 

like that were not usual in my church. 

Throwing back my head, I commenced 

to lau h. Still clasping my hand, he said, 

“Hallefujah-I have been to San Jose and 

I have been saved-saved through the 

16 

Blood. I am so happy I could just float 

away.” 

It amused me. The more I ridiculed 

him the more vehement he became in his 

testimony. I then discovered that some 

more of the members of my church had 

contacted that meeting and were loud in 

their praises unto God. Slowly a bitter 

antagonism commenced to creep into my 

heart. They told me of a great campaign 

where thousands were saved and thou- 

sands were being healed. Inserting an ’ad- 

vertisement in the paper that I would 

preach the following Sunday on “DIVINE 

HEALING BUBBLE EXPLODES,” I made 

my way down to San Jose, armed with 

pen and paper to take notes. I intended 

to return the following Sunday and blow 

the whole thing to pieces. As I neared 

San Jose, a peculiar feeling came over my 

mind. Across the street was a huge sign, 

with the words, “Auspices of William 

Keener Towner.” I could scarcely believe 

my eyes. Dr. Towner had been the pas- 

tor of the First Baptist Church in Oak- 

land, and on more than one occasion we 

had gone into the theater together. He 

was a splendid man and kind, but I knew 

that he was not the type of preacher to 

back an old-fashioned Holy Ghost revival 

meeting. 

Going to the very edge of Town I found 

a huge tent seating approximately 6,000 

people. To my utter amazement it was 

packed and a great crowd was standing 

around the outside. 

QUESTIONINGS 

I glanced down the aisle. Walking up 

toward me I saw my old friend, Dr. 

Towner. Standing on my tiptoes and wav- 

ing my hand, I called across, “0, Bill, 

0 there Bill!” We were intimate friends 

enough to call each other by our given 

names. His dear face broke into a wreath 

of smiles. Rushing over to me he grabbed 

my hand. “Charlie Price,” he said, “well 

HalleluJah! Glory to Jesus!-Praise the 

Lord.” My jaw dropped. A look of amaze. 

ment came over my face. 

Looking into my eyes with a serious 

expression he said, .“Charles, this is real. 

This littIe woman is right. This is the real 

gospel. I have been baptized with the Holy 

Ghost. It is genuine, I tell you. It is what 

you need.” He shook my hand and left 

me, promising to see me later. 

Once again in an advantageous posi- 

tion, I looked over the crowd. Why there 

was Ole, my old Swedish usher! During 

Chautauqua days I was forced to remon- 

strate with him, because of his dirty habit 

of chewing Copenhagen snuff. Ole looked 

different to me. He was cleaner and there 

were no dark corners around his mouth. 

He displayed a big red badge and said, 

“Hallelujah! Praise the Lord Jesus! I ban 

an oosher.” 

Mischievously I said, “Where is the 

snuff, Ole?” 

Back he came at me with, “Hallelujah, 

I ban saved; I ban healed; I ban filled 

with the Holy‘Ghost; I ban so full of 

glory there ain’t any room for snoos.” 

The folk in the crowd were beginning 

to look at me in every direction. I asked 

Ole to find me a seat. Ten minutes later 

he came back. 

“What a yob!” he said, “what a yob! 

But I ban got one for you.” 

I followed him down the aisle, and to 

my added embarrassment, he led me to 

the very front, across the long altar, then 

pointed to a chair that was empty in the 

section reserved for cripples. That was 

where I belonged, but I did not know it 

at the time. All the way down the aisle I 

could hear people mentioning my name. 

My face turned red. One good sister said 

in a very audible tone of voice, “Praise 

the Lord, here comes Dr. Price. I hope 

he gets something.”

THE SPIRIT OF GOD 

SUBDUES WITCHCRAFT 

(Numbers 83:83)-Kitty Villas$?. 

Demerara. By George Buly, Bratzsh 

Guhna, South American Fz& Gospel 

Mission 

ANY BLACK people in and about 

M Georgetown have heard of or 

know “Da-Da.” “Da-Da” is a witch. 

She may call herself by many fancy 

titles but she is plainly, a witch. Is it 

a husband you want? She will arrange it 

for you; is it a rival you want removed? 

She will guarantee that too. eve potions, 

poisons, drugs and fortune-telhng are her 

specialty. Very few will doubt that she 

is clever. 

The fact that “Da-Da” can practice such 

things illegally and not be prosecuted 

may surpase some people, but not when 

they know school-teachers, civil-servants, 

etc., are among her patrons..She is feared 

by superstitious folk. She is reputed to 

have “put many down.” This is a local 

term meaning to put people down into 

their graves before their time. 

When I heard about this evil woman, 

I felt that, as a servant of God, I ought 

to warn her of God’s judgments against 

those who do such things. I was given the 

name of the street where she lived but 

not the number of the house. 

I had difficulty in locating her, as the 

street was over two miles long. It began 

in Georgetown and finished in a village 

just outside the city. However, I went 

down the street and asked the first person 

I saw where “Da-Da” lived. He was 

able to tell me immediately. I was then 

about a mile and a half from her house. 

When I reached the house, I found it 

stood on stilts. I climbed a steep staircoay 

and knocked on the door. A little colored 

woman opened the door and, when she 

saw I was white, she was scared. I told 

her I wished to see “Da-Da.” I was shown 

into a large room with bare boards but 

very clean. A number of young women, 

Negro, East Indian and mixed-blood, sat 

about sewing and an elderly Negro woman 

squatted on the floor. This ’was the 

person I wanted to see. 

“Da-Da” looked at me through bleary 

eyes. She had a curious look, as though 

she had been doped. She looked a curious 

figure, squatting on the floor, with a 

sprig of fresh parsley stuck in her black 

fussy hair. Coming to the point immediately, 

I told her the object of my call, 

and asked to speak to her alone. She sent 

the young women away to adjoining 

rooms. She asked my name, but I declined 

to give it to her as I knew what evil purpose 

she would use it for. She admitted 

being a witch, but with the same breath 

she said she had the Spirit of Christ and 

believed in God. 

I ogered her a Bible I had. brought .prposely 

for her but she sad she dzdn’t 

want it as she already had one. 

When I quoted I1 Corinthians 6:14-15 

s I angered her and she started shouting, 

“I’ll put yo down, I’ll put yo down,” I 

thought she meant she would put me 

down the stairs, not realizing it was a 

threat to put me down into the ground! 

I did not intend to go unbl I had said 

what I came to say. She rose from the 

floor and went into another room and re- 

turned with a pot of water with a sprig 

of parsley in it, with which she began 

to sprinkle the floor and me. I suddenly 

realized what she was doing; she was in- 

voking the water-spirits which she wor- 

shipped to destroy me. The Lord gave me 

Numbers 83:83 “Surely’there is no en- 

chantment against Jacob, neither is there 

any divination against Israel:” and I 

stomped upon one of the wet patches and 

said, “That’s what I think of your wa- 

ter-spirits.” 

The witch then showed her true nature. 

She began to raise her voice again and 

clapped her hands. The young women 

came out of their rooms-rushing at me 

to lay hands on me. One of them foamed 

at the mouth and, under demon influence, 

started to curse me in tongues. The Lord 

led me to rebuke her in the Spirit and, 

when I spoke in tongues, they a11 fell 

back as though somethang had struck 

them. 

I took that opportunity to make my de- 

parture. 

Afterwards, I realized the dangerous 

situation I had been in, going alone into 

such a den of wickedness. (Of murse I 

was not alone-Matt. 28:20.)

ALTON HAYES PARTY 

BRINGS BLESSINGS TO 

10s ANGELES 

By LeRoy M. Kopp. Pastor 

“LET NO MAN DESPISE THY 

YOUTH, BUT BE THOU AN EXAM- 

PLE OF THE BELIEVERS,” and 

thanks to God, our Brother Alton L. 

Hayes is a shining example in all the 

Christian graces. Expressions of ap- 

preciation of the ministry :and person 

of Brother Hayes came from all direc- 

tions as he carried forward in his 

campaign against the powers of dark- 

ness. 

Brother Hayes’ own wonderful testi- 

mony of healing and deliverance from 

grave injuries resulting from a car wreck, 

built up faith in Almighty God for all 

things. Souls were saved, sicknesses were 

instantly discerned and cast out, and 

hearts responded to the mighty moving 

of the power of God. 

Brother Hayes’ gift of discernment is 

truly remarkable. One of the outstand- 

ing cases of deliverance was that of Rose- 

mary Griffin, Box 35, Sta. D, Los Angeles, 

whose inward goiter melted away as 

Brother Hayes prayed for her. She testi- 

fied that, previous to the laying on of 

hands by Brother Hayes, she had diffi- 

culty swallowing, but now is perfectly de- 

livered. In the first night of the Alton 

Hayes campaign, Carol Coates, 126 N. 

Lake Street, Los Angeles, was standing 

in a h e waiting to be prayed for when 

Brother Hayes singled her out and told 

her that the Lord had revealed that she 

was suffering from a heart condition. Sis- 

ter Coates then admitted that a doctor 

had told her the same thing just a few 

THE VOICE OF HEALING December, 1952 www.williambranhamstorehouse.com 

days previous when she was takin;: a 

physical examination in order to work 

for a bank. Brother Hayes then .prayed 

for her and she was instantly healed. 

Many weeks have gone by and she pub- 

licly testifies and her mother verifies that 

she has no more choking or smothering 

spells, and does not come home from 

work tired as she used to. 

As Brother Hayes always did, we also 

give all the glory to Jesus, the One 

who made healing possible. 

Ralph and Edith Coe, both gifted of 

God in the ministry of music, added 

greatly to the blessinEt of the meetings, 

as they sang .and played their electric 

steel and Spanish guitars. Good attend- 

ance prevailed throughout. We highly 

commend the Hayes Evangelistic Party 

to every church holding up the Blood- 

stained Banner. 

PETERSON MINISTRY 

BLESSED OF GOD 

IN W. PITTSTON, PENNA. 

By Rev. Donato D’Andrea, Pasfor 

West Piftston, Penna. 

Rev. Homer Peterson just closed 

a very successful Salvation-Healing 

Campaign in West Pittston, Penna. 

The beautiful new tent was pitched and 

the crowds gathered; many came for sal- 

vation and healing, and they did not go 

away disappointed, for the Miracle-work- 

ing Jesus was there in a mighty way to 

meet their needs. 

During the four weeks campaign we 

saw the blind made to see, the deaf hear, 

the lame walk and cancers go, besides 

many other wonderful miracles and heal- 

ings, such as: Miner’s Asthma, Spasmodic 

Asthma, Ulcerated Stomach, etc. 

A man 81 years old, who could not see 

even to distinguish people from animals, 

the next day after he was prayed for 

could thread a needle. 

Another man ,with a cancer on his ton- 

gue, after being prayed for, spit out the 

cancer the next day. 

A lady who had a running sore on her 

leg for more than a year was instantly 

healed after Brother Peterson prayed for 

her. 

A child with polio, who hadn’t walked 

for a year and had worn a brace for three 

months, was prayed for and that same 

night took off the brace and ran up the 

steps. The next meeting night, he came 

into the services carrying his brace. 

Brother Houck, the song leader, and 

Sister Blackwell, at the Hammond Organ, 

were indeed blessings to all of us.

METEOROLOGICAL SIGNS 

According to Great Britian’s foremost 

living meteorologist, Dr. C. E. P. Brooks: 

“Signs are not wanting that we are even 

now in a period of climatic change which 

may have vital, but. so far unpredictable, 

consequences for civilization.” The Apostle 

Paul, in the 8th chapter of Romans, 

speaks of the time when “the whole crea- 

Uon roaneth and travaileth ... waiting 

for tfe adoption ... redemption” which 

will take place at the appeanng of Jesus 

Christ.

LAODICEAN C V C H 

Dedication services were held recently 

for the new $l,OOO,OOO St. Steven’s Serbian 

Orthodox Church, in Alhambra, 

Calif. The 500-seat cathedral was under 

construction for three years. Giant bells 

wei hing 3400 pounds, just received from 

Holfand, have been installed. A huge 1000pound 

chandelier in the center of the 

church has 1200 Bohemian crystals and 

200 lights, which will burn for 10,000 

hours. Paintings on the altar screen are 

valued at $100,000 and were done in Vienna. 

The dedication service was climaxed 

by 2000 guests enjoying a banquet and 

holding a dance. 

Revelation, chapter 3, speaking of the 

Laodicean church (the last church dispensation 

before Christ returns) says, “thou 

sayest, I am rich, and increased with 

goods, and have need o,f nzthing ..... 

KNOWLEDGE INCREASING 

Five ears of brain-numbering work and 

researci amounting to $1,000,~ 

- these 

things combined with an unwillingness to 

accept a recognized medical theory led 

to the discovery of a polio immunizing 

vaccine. The revelation of this welcome 

discovery was made at the University of 

California at Berkeley by the man who 

commanded the research team, Dr. Herald 

R. Cox, virus laboratory chief of the 

Lederle Laboratories. 

Science has apparently found the way 

to mass produce a vaccine that can make 

all humanity immune to poliomyelitis. 

Within a short time, a year perhaps, po- 

lio will be as rare as smallpox, according 

to re orts. The increase of knowledge is 

a dexnite sign of the last days. Daniel 

E:4, “in the time of the end . , . knowl- 

edge shall be \nc:ea?ed.; * 

EUROPEAN VIEW 

European Generals fear Russian blitz 

soon, according to Karl H. von Wiegand, 

INS foreign correspondent. “There is con- 

siderable nervousness in oficial circles, 

es ecially in the many general staffs of 

dT0” said Mr. von Weigand. General 

Juh, hench commander in chief of the 

European central armies, declared he 

“hoped” the Russians cpuld be stopped 

at the Rhine. Sources in close contact 

with the Belgian and some other general 

stas. told me that there are reasons 

for oxpectina that the Russians would 

18 

* * * 

move before the end of this year,” said 

the news correspondent. 

Russia is planning another move to try 

to et Berlin under the Communists, Harry 

Sutz, AFL representative in Germany 

and Austria, told the AFL convention. in 

New York City recently, “We are asklng 

the Germans to contribute men and arms 

in exchange for our pledge to defend 

them against the Russians. Yet every 

month or so the hear a western military 

or civilian lea& declare that defense 

along the Elbe River is impracticable and 

that we cannot set up a counter-defense 

until we get to the Rhineon Germany’s 

west border. This sug ests to Germans 

that they are to be use8 only for a delayin 

action with their cities, recently rebuqlt. 

being left to the mercy of the Russians,” 

said Mr. Rutz. 

A careful reading of the 38th chapter of 

Ezekiel shows that Gomer (Germany) 

will be under the rule and control of Gog 

(Russia) in the end-time of this dispensation. 

The Rhine River was the bounday 

of the old Roman empire across Europe in 

Bible days, and thus it is destined to again 

play a very important role in the fulfillment 

of prophecy in this day as we look 

for the appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

* * * * * 

OUTLOOK IN THE MIDDLE EFT Once again we refer to the Middle East 

because of its strategic place in Bible 

prophecy in the last days. “The real danger 

spot in the world today is shifting 

to the Middle East,” Irving Brown, AFL 

European representative, told the “1st 

annual convention of the AFL in New’ 

York City. He specifically mentioned Iran 

as he pointed out that “perhaps the whole 

Moslem-Arab world will go the way of 

China.” He spoke of the power of the 

Communist Tudeh Party in Iran. Through 

this column we have repeatedly emphasized 

the imminence of the Communist 

invasion of the Holy Land. plainly revealed 

in the 38th chapter of Ezekiel. This 

invasion will most likely start with the 

Russians taking over Iran and then moving 

directly into Iraq and Palestine. 

* * * * * 

MAN SHORTAGE 

According to a recent survey in the 25 

to 40 age group in Germany there are 300 

unmarried women to one unmarried man. 

The situation has become so desperate 

some women have launched a share-the- 

husband campaign. In Berlin there are 

600,000 more women than men. Many of 

the women are beautiful. Telephone num- 

bers of eligible bachelors are sold for 

high prices. The preferred bachelors are 

United States service men. They average 

15 proposals of marriage a week. In the 

4th chapter of Isaiah, dealing with the 

end-time, we flnd a strange prophecy 

(verse 1). “And in that day seven women 

shall take hold of one man, saying, We 

will eat our own bread, and wear our own 

apparel: only let us be called by thy 

name.”

WHAT DO 

In previous issues we mentioned 

the tremendous influence Full Gospel 

literature has in teaching and educat- 

ing the people in the great truths of 

the ministry of deliverance, and kin- 

dred subjects. At that time we listed 

books published by The Voice of Heal- 

ing and by our evangelists. 

This month, we shall list a few more 

books we carry in stock for our readers' 

faith library. 

First of all we would call attention to 

the books we have just stocked of Dr. 

Charles S. Price, whose ministry some 

years ago was the phenomenon of the 

time. He spoke to audiences of many thou- 

sands in all parts of the country, and sel- 

dom has the church produced at any age 

such an eloquent speaker. Beside his The 

Story of My Life, we also have Spiritual 

and Physical HeaMh, Two Worlds, The 

Real Faith, Divine Intervention and Made 

Alive. All these books should be in a 

Christian's library. 

Oral Roberts has published two books, 

that have had wide circulation and are 

especiall inspiring, entitled If You Need 

Healing &o These Things, and The Fourth 

Man. These sermons are a real cure for 

fear. 

Why Pray? is a fine booklet on the sub- 

ject of prayer and definitely answers 

that question. It is written by Mrs. How- 

ard Rusthoi (Esther Kerr Rusthoi). 

We also carry several books on Divine 

healing written by well known authors. 

There is the testimony of .Betty Baxter 

whose healing was a sensation that start- 

led the editor of a newspaper in Minne- 

sota. and has amazed congregations num- 

bering into the many thousands. This 

booklet is entitled "he Betty Baxter Story.

YOU READ? 

Miracles in Mexico contains an account 

of several remarkable instances in which 

God answered prayer in Mexico, in a supernatural 

manner. 

We also have the book Divine Healing 

written by Andrew Murray, one of the 

outstanding religious writers of all time. 

We recommend, too, Martin Luther 

Davidson's book What Hope Has A Christian 

in an Atomic War, as an excellent 

booklet on the Christian's attitude and 

hope toward world conditions existing at 

the present time. 

Judgment on Sweden is a remarkable 

account of a vision of events which are 

shortly to come to pass in Sweden, as 

seen in a vision by one who also foresaw 

events occurring in Scandinavia during 

World War 11.
