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.
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.
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!
