    &to the uttermost part o f the earth.As preached by T . L . O s b o r n a: :he FourthAnnual Voice of Healing Convention

    VANGELIST T . L . Osborn ha s bee n used, as few m en in this generat ion,E in the m issionary f ield. Who le nation s have been stirred as a result ofhis m inisEry. His m essage preached o n the opening night of t he Fou r th An-nual Voice of Healing C onvent ion i s said by som e to have been the m ost out-standing m issionary m essage t h ey had ever heard. I t carries a ringing chal-lenge to th e Church. * * *T ISA PRIVILEGE o stand beforeI you tonight, in Dallas, and pass onto you the burden on my heart forthis service and, I believe, for thisage. I ask you t o pray and believewith me that His cause will be ad -vanced. I eel His Presence and knowthat H e is here to confirm His Wordand to meet the need of those whoare gathered here.The messa ge I bring to you tonightma y be a surprise to many, but i t is themessage of my heart .For the last four years we have triedto do what we could to spread the gospelto other lands. %night I speak to youon behalf of the unevangelized millionswho cannot speak for themselves, and

    who ar e dying without Christ.As I was sitting in the audience a fewminutes ago, and saw the great host ofministers stand to their feet , I was over-whelmed with th e responsibility t ha t restson my shoulders tonight as I speak ofthe harvest fields in unevangelized lands.I want to read to you two verses inth e Fourth C h a p t e r of J o h n , v e r s e s 31 t i r l c l32. In the meanwhile his disciplesprayed him, saying, Master, eat.But he said unto them, I ILpe meatto eat that ye know not of.Also, in John 4, th e 34th :incl 35thJesus saith unto them, My meatis to do the will o f him thut sent ?ne,

    and to finish his work .Say not ye, There are yet foth1months, and t h e n cometlb harvest ?Behold, I say unto you, lift up yoWeyes, and look on the fields; for theya re white already to harvest.Then I want to call to your attentionE z e k i e l 3:18, substituting the word h e a t h e n for w i c k e d : When I say unto the h e a t h e n , Thou shalt surely die; and thou giv-est him not warning, nor speaketh towarn the h e a t h e n from h i s h e a t h e n -i sh way , to save his life ; the sanze h e a t h e n man shall die in h i s inaquz.ty; but his blood wi l l I require atthine hand.I have looked into the eyes of thou-

    sands upon thousands of these heathennight af ter night and yet, when I pick2

    v e r s e s :

    up the map and see l i t t le areas and loca-tions where I have been, I am bewilderedto realize that I have scarcely toucheda n y of them.As I ook into the eyes of thousands i nforeign lands and then stand before anaudience as this , where there a re so ma nyministers, I hardly know what to sayfirst.I want to say, however, that I a m nottaking the place of T. L. Osborn, th e evaii.gelist. I want to take the place of count-less thousands who cant be here tonightt o tell you of the ir need.I want to represent them to you to-night as i f they, themselves, were speak-ing!I b e l i e v e w i t h a l l m y I ie c ir t t h a t th e s i t -p r e m e t a s k of t h e C h u r c h is t h e e v a n g e l iz i i-t i o n of t h e world.If the gospel is to reach the wholeworld, then I believe that you are chal-lenged by the Holy Ghost, and by T h eLord of t h e H a r v e s t , to take action accorcl-ing to th e conyiction of your fa ith![If evangelization of the 1vorld i sth e suprem etask of t he Church , t hen i t should come f i rs t in our act ions; i ts h o u l d come f i rs: in our g iving. I tshould be put f irst in every church andin every Sunday School !]The Apostle Paul gives us four ques-tions; which I present to you tonight 1 nbehalf of our heathen brethren whowait without Christ. Of course, if youcould have taken the trip with me andcould have seen what I have seen, Iwouldnt need to preach to you. Bu t, sinceyou havent made such a trip , I herewithpresent to this convention some seriousquestions.I want to ask those present tonight, W h a t i s our o b j e c t iv e a n d w h a t a r ew e h e r e fo r? W h a t i s t h e r e a l n i o t i v eh e h i n d t h e a c t i o n s of t h o s e a s s o c i a t e dw i t h THE V O I C E O F H E A L I N G ? OUR R EA L OBJ E CT IVE SHOUL DBE TO CONVINCE T H E W O R L DTHAT THE CHRIST W H O D I E D FO RUS-IS THE CHRIST W H O L I V ES TO-DAY AND THAT O UR G O D IS THETRUE G O D !A n eventful h o u r lies before u s and w eshould a rm ourselves as never b efo re, o rtlte ,mighty task that i s at hand. 0 2 1 1 .work i s to blaze a trail of healing evan-gelism to the fo ur corners of the world,and prove to the nations and to the tribes

    and kindreds and tongues that o u r God isthe tmle God. Hallelujah!

    E v a n g e l i s t T. 1..Os11ortiI b e l i e v e t h a t i s oiir o b j e c t i v c .The Scriptures say in Hollllttts 1 0 : 1 3

    Whosoever shall call on,fhe nameof the Lord shall be saved.That is the greatest news that I canThese are the four challenging ques.1 . H O I O hen shal l they cal l on hintin whom they have riot believe d?2. An d ho w shall they believe in hint

    of whom they have not heard?3 . And how shall they hear without apreacher?4. And how shall they preuclr, exceptthey be sent?I say this service tonight is dedicatedto the purpose of sending ministers topreach the gospel , so the heathen cancall upon the Lord, so they can be saved.T h a t is my motive and objective to-night!I n M a t t h e w 9:36, 37:Jesus was moved with compassionone day as He beheld a great multi-tude of people before Him. He saidthat they were as sheep without ushepherd and that the harvest wastruly plenteous but tlae laborers werefew.The Lord of the Harvest today w o u l dyet call laborers to His harvest . H i s lastorders to the Church w e r e tha t H i s p e o p l eshould p r e a c h t h e g o s p e l t o e v e r y c r e a t u r e !We have done everything but that! Wehave done a thousand things that He di dnot tell us to do, and h a v e n e g l e c t e d t od o the t h i n g t h a t H e d i d t e l l 11s to d o, b e -f o r e We u s c e n d e d i n t o h e a v e n !When He gave that great command,the disciples were few in number, but Hehad faith in those few He had chosen.Today, in comparison to the great taskbefore us, we are few in number.To you w ho sa r e here tonight , I leavethis charge!G O MAKE DISCIPLES OF A L L N A -TIONS!I f y o i t u r e +I p r e n c l i e r o f t h e g o s p e l , t h a ti s Chr i s t s c onin i i s s ion to you. I s t h a t to ol in rd?It would be nonsense f o r me to tell youthat you have no call to preach to peopleof heathen lands. That is as unscripturaland unreasonable as for a preacher totell me, or say, that he has never felt acall to preach with a ministry of heal-

    ing. Christ gave His blood to provide re-demption from sin, and from disease and

    that,bear!tions, as given in R o m a n s 10:14, 15 .

    death. The ministry of healing must al-ways be evaluated according to what i tcost Christ to produce it. W e must p reachthis Full Gospel if we are to reach theheathen, for i t is the gospel of GoodNews!It is j us t as fool ish for a preacher tosay that hes not led to other countries,to preach to foreign lands.I resent another preacher walking upto me and saying, Brother Osborn, yourcall to the Latin people is precious. Youhave such a marvelous ministry t o th eL.atin speaking people.Up till last summer I had taken the a t -titude that it was none of my businesswhom God called to the harvest field, andtha t He would call the people He wanted.I had not noticed how the heart of Christwas moved with compassion, and how Heappealed to the ministers to pray for Go dto send laborers into the harvest.Since that revelation came to my heart,I have been making this appeal..Jwt a week ago I boarded a plane andwent to Lo s Angeles, to the FoursquareConvention in Long Beach, California,and had a service there for the sole pur-pose of conducting a mass prayer meet-ing, asking The Lord of the Harvest tosend forth laborers into His vinyard.God would never call us to pray forsomething and then refuse to answer th atprayer. Al w a y s H i s a s s u r a n c e is t h a t p r a y -e r w i ll b e a n s w e r e d !

    Men, women, tonight, I expect the pow-er of the Lord to descend in our midst ,to manifest itself in the calling of menand women to preach this gospel to thepeoples of the world.Im preaching what Christ told us todo and I b 1 H e is here to confirmthat part o f m d .I p r a y t h a t t h e r e w i ll b e m a n y c h o s e nt o n i g h t .

Pray for this n o w .Jesus didnt say,Wait four y n t h s and then com-eth the harvest.P r a y n o w , because the evangelizationof the world is the supreme and most im-portant task of the church today.The heathen wont call on . thename of the Lord, until they belaeve.They wont believe until they hear,they wont hear until a preacher goesnnd preaches to them!An d a preacher wont go until he hasbeen sent! M en dont jus t determine the irfuture. They dont just decide to studyfor the ministry. G o d m u s t d o t h e c h o o s-ing; H e m u s t m a p o u t th e p l a n f o r t h e irl i f e !That is why we must pray; that i s wh ywe must yield to God!The B ib le in H e b r e w s 5:4, speaks ofthose who are called to be a minister orpriest unto God and says,N O man taketh this h o n o r untohamself.How was Aaron called of God? Readnatural calling of Aaron.When opposers of Aaron rose up againstbe aa priest, read what God didn His testimony to His servant.God has always stood by those whomsaid in J o h n 15:16,Y e have not chosen me , but I havechosen you, and ordained yotc, that ye

    should go and bring fo rt h muchfwit.When the men of Israel challengedAarons call, Moses took a rod for eacho f the tr ibes of Israel , and laid them upbefore th e presence of th e Lord. God saidthat He would testify as to the one thatHe had chosen.When Moses went back to look a t thetwelve dead sticks, t h e rod of A a r o n , t h em a n w h om G od h a d c h os e n , h a d b u d d e d !T h e r e i t was a l i ve , i t h a d b u d d e d , b l o s -s o m e d , and b o r e a lm o n d s ! There was mi-raculous proof that Aaron was a God-or-dained man, to lead and to teach Israelthe law of God!Much of the doctrinal confusion in Am-erica is brought about by men trying toreconci le the Scriptures with the Ameri-can way of life-resulting in a gospelwith no power and which is non-miracul-ous.If you could take yourself over to theseother countries, among the heathen gods,the heathen temples , the heathen wor-shippers; you would see the need of thesupernatural.To r e a c h t he s e p e o p le , t h e C h u r c h m u s tb e a r a m i r a c u l o u s g os p e l .

I was on the missionary field be-fore I could prove to those I ministeredto tha t God was re al , and I have been onthe mission field since. I know the differ-ence. I spent a y ear in India. I won a fe wto the Lord. I would have won more if Ihad not listened to the old missionaries.I wanted to give an altar call when Ipreached to them, but they said that wasunethical in India.I preached in Lucknow fo r three weeks,and never gave an altar cal l unti l thelast night.

    GOD BELIVERS FROMFEAR OB QOGS

    Y F EA R O F DO GS must ha ve been in-M nate; for, ever since I can remember,I was d eathly afraid of them. IOne morning real early, I awakened sud-denly with a nameless dread. I had been:asked to go to work in place of someonewho was sick. Knowing that several fiercedogs ran loose on the street I would haveto travel, I naturally felt afraid. With thatdread gnawing away at my subconscious,.I fell into a doze. Just how long I Slept. isnot known, but, in my dream, I ha dstarted t o work. As I passed a vacant lota vicious dog came sneaking up behindme and attacked me. Instead of running,as I ordinarily would have done, I wasfrozen to the spot. In my distress, I calledmightily upon the Lord, who heard meand delivered me.Needless to say, this sort of dream onlyadded to my dread when I arose to go to: .As was my custom, I knelt to pray be-fore leaving the house and, in my petition,I ncluded a plea fo r Gods protection fro mall impending dangers. When I left the,house, I lutched m y Bible, Precious Book,in my hand. I felt safer, having Godspromises at hand. The Book had been asource of com fort and consolation in m anya hard trial previously, and I elt it wouldserve a s a protection at the present,6hould the n ecessity arise.

    I had not gone far when I heard Ta rus-tling in th e dry leav es behmd me. Ithought at first that the breeze was rus-tling them, and paid no attention to thesound. As 1 went farther, the street l ightshone past me, and I caught a glimpse ofsomethmg approaching from behind andto the right. 1 turned to see what it was.Oh, horrors! There was that dog of whichI had dreamed a few minutes before; and,at . th e very sam e place, with the very sam edemeanor! !I scolded at him, but that proved to bethe wrong thing. to do; fo r he rarrly leapedat me . No, didnt run. My fee t seemed asif they were held by some unseen power.I h e l d m y B ib l e b e t w e e n m e a n d t h e d o g ,and jumped up and down in my tracks,a n d ca l l ed o n Jesus or h e lp . The dog cir-cled me, snarling and snapping at me-and most uncomfortably close. I p l e d t h eb l o o d u n t i l A n a l l y h e t u r n e d and s n e a k e da w a y with his tail between his legs andhis head down, as i f he were ashamed, butstill reluctant to give up. I followed him,rebuking him in the Name of the Lord.H e w e n t a w a y in t h e d a r k , a n d 1 aw h imn o m o re .Th e fear of dogs did not leave me, unti lone day, in desperation, I asked. God todeliver me. For years, I have not had thatterrible fear. Praise God!! Ifyou are trowbled w ith. that sam e fear, w hy dont you

I cried out say-ing, Father, in the Name of Jesus, turnthose hordes about and make themrun back the way they came.On his return home, I asked my brotherif anything very unusual ever happenedbesides the story I ust related.

    A young m an w ondered w hy the Pentecostal peop le never att ended his shows-then he learned there was a know -so salvation-Sold his theatres and nowpreach es the glorio us messages of DELIVERANCE!

    -The story of Evangelist B. D. BennettW AS A JONAH. Fo r fifteen yearsI I ran from the call of God. Itried to justify myself by teaching aSunday school class in a denomina-tional church and by attending this,church regularly, but this was notGods plan for my life.In one of the towns, where I hadbuilt a new theatre, was an Assembly!of God Church. These Pentecostalpeople never attended my theatre,sand I intended to find out why, al-though I knew in my heart the rea-son. These people had something Iknew I did not possess. I would fre-quently try to enter into an alterca-tion with the pastor over their standagainst x y profession. The only an-swer I ever received was t hat they be-Slieved a Christian must separatehimself f rom the things of the world.I grew to hate Pentecost and Pente-costal people. The y were narro w-minded, practically illiterate, politi-cally backward, certainly unsophisti-cated and lamentably unenlightened,noisy, fanatical and excessively zeal-ous f or their church and their God,was my feeling toward these peoplewho believed Christ baptized peoplein the Holy Ghost and caused themt o speak in a language I could notunderstand and t h a t God healed peo-ple with the laying on o f hands, o rwithout, through prayer, and savedpeople with a know-so Salvation.

    After severe persecution; on my part ,against these Pentecostal people for sev-eral years, God said, Its enough! andpermitted the Devil to afflict me with ablood clot in the artery of my heart . Theattending physician told my family toprepare for the worst.For seven weeks I lay at deaths door .

    Then a dear o l d lady who belonged to m ychurch came to my home with. he mes-sage of deliverance. telling me there wer etwo women Evangelists in a recival naeet-ing at the Pentecostal Church who prayedthe prayer of fait h o r the sick. She askedme i f I would like fo r hese Pentecostalpeople to come and pray. f o r me. I toldher Iwould, although both m y pastor andthe pastor f ro m another church had al-ready come to my home and prayed,Lord, if it be Thy will, heal M r . Bcn-nett.These women evangelists. along withthe pastor of the Assembly of Godchurch, came to my home and read whatthe Bible says about healing and con-vinced me it was Gods will to heal me.They asked me, before they laid theirhands on me and prayed, if I would serveGod and obey His will for my life. I a n -swered in the affirmative. They then tookout a little bottle of olive oil, explainedto me J a m e s 5:14-15, put a few drops ofit upon my forehead , and prayed a prayerthe l ike of which I had never heard be-fore.

And, truly, this has been the reaction ofal l the ministers who labored in thismeeting. We found the Allen party hon-est and above board in all of their deal-ings. The results of this meeting are tre-mendous and far reaching. Speaking per-sonally for myself, and congregation, thishas been God sent.We came to Galveston 14 months agofre sh from the field, with a call o f God onour hearts to establish a Revival and Di-vine Healing Center here in Galveston,which often is referred to from coast tocoast as The Backd oor to Hell. W espent 14 months doing hard ground workand .now the Allen Party comes, sent ofGod, and it has been t he mea ns of launch-ing The First Assembly forward in theright direction.Even before the revival closed. plansfor a huge air conditioned auditoriumwere endorsed-one that will seat around1,500 people. The foundation will be pour-ed in January of 1953 .New people are joining the Full GospelChurches all over this area. A very large

    number of people recently joined ourChurch, and the amazing thing about i tis that they are young couples, man andwife. Both got saved, and came forwardtogether. Only time and eternity will re-veal what has actually been done in thismeeting!W e are looking forward to the returno f A. A.

    By Pastor-Evangelist Hiram BrooksFOR a gracious revival, preci-0 ous, refreshing from the pres-ence of the Lord!Tha t has been the cry of north SanDiego county churches for over twodecades. Many mercy drops have fal-len in the local churches, but the realshowers came when Dr. Everett B.Parrott felt led of God to pitch histent in the Oceanside-Carlsbad areaof California, for a united Full Gos-pel and Divine-Healing Campaign.Churches and Pastors from nearbytnwr\s decided that this was divineIyordained, and closed down the ir weeknight services to cooperate in themeetings.

    Although the tent was pitched in clos-est proximity with Pastors W. E. Davisof Oceanside, and Hiram B roo ks, of Carls-bad, nevertheless as many as seventeenminis ters from various denominations, in-cluding Baptist and Christian, were onthe platform i n precious fellowship,which is saying a lot f o r this more orless rural area .From the very start , the humility andHoly Spirit anointing on Brother Parrottestablished the fact that this was not tobe a wild and hilarious meeting but, ra-ther , a deep heart-searching time of spir-itual cleansing and healing by the Powerof GOD!IT IS NO S E C R E T W H A T G OD C ANDO! a s R ev.

Denomina-tional people frum all churches soon wereflocking in, and scores have been enlight-ened to the deeper truths of the full gos-pel, and have received not only healing,but also the wonderful baptism of theHoly Spirit.The wonderful response of the marinesfr om Camp Pendleton to the Parrott re-vival i s most g ratifying.

    nights the choir on the large platformwas composed entirely of servicemen.Heart trouble, nervous colitis, curva-ture of the spine, and myriads of otherdiseases disappeared, like tinder before aragmg forest fire, as God manifested Hiswonderful power night a fte r night.We will recount two outstanding mir-acles which occurred:Mrs. M a r g a r e t B e c k was healed of sev-eral maladies, chief of which was a ma-lignant nervous colitis condition.Perhaps the most outstanding of allwas the healing ofMrs. G r u c e C l a r k (see picture inset),whose testimo ny follows:O H , ho w I praise my wonderful Godfor my healing; and how I thankGod th at He gave His Sun Jesus Christto die on the cross tosa v i - us f rom s in ,and to heal us.If people wouldonly awaken and seethe light. A shorttime ago I w as asinner, sick, and crip-pled. I suffered andwanted to die, jus t toget out of my mis-ery, and yet I knewI would g u to hell ifI died in-that condi-tion.

    [Just before w e went to press, we. received a letter f ro m Pastor H . A. M . Whyte,who was sponsoring.Brother Holmes in his recent revavat anCanada, giving the following account+o f the trial. W e print below an ex-cerpt fro mhis letter1EAR Brother Lindsay: As you will no doubt have heard .b ynow, from Brother R. W. Holmes, the vitrio-lic attack made by the Canadian Pressupon Divine Healing, due to the unfortun-ate depth of a girl of 19 in,Lefroy, On-tario, who gave up insulin after prayer,came to nothing.

    I ,at ten ded the inquest on Dec. 19 atBarrie, Ont ario, and read a statement fromBrother Holmes. Th,is was accepted as evi-dence together with a statement he hadpreviously made to the Ont ario Provinc ialPolice in North Tonaw anda, New York.The five-man jury, composed of tw oRoman Catholics, one Pentecostal, and tw ounknow n, passed a verdict, fully endorsedby the Coroner, that the death of the girlwas caused by her own decision to giveup insulin. No one was held to blame, nei-ther the parents, nor the preacher. Norw ere any recommendations made to pre;vent the practice of Divine Healing or thevisits of any it inerant evangelists w ith ahealing ministry, erroneously called faithhealers. One o f the reporters who visited ourhome was the son of a man who used tow orship in our church, so he was sympa-thetic. Brother Holmes reports .that the Pro-vin cial police w ere most sympathetic. Onc e again the devil oversfepped him-self, and Divine Healing has received aw onderfu l amount o f free advertisement-so has our small denomination throughout

    EVANGELIST AL TON L. HAYEST WAS during th e year 1950, whenI the Lord spoke to my father andme about building a church in thenorth part of Dallas, Texas. We soonraised enough money to begin ourfoundation, and we worked har d from

    morning until d ark digging pier holesand pouring the foundation. At thisparticular time, we lived at Midlothian,Texas. One evening when we had finishedwork, we got in our car (my fa ther , mywife and I, and our two little girls, withmy nephew) and began driving home.We were going south, when another carappproached us going north. The driverwas intoxicated and suddenly, without no-tice, he turned his wheels in front of uscausing a terrib le collision. T h e i m p a c t re -s u lt e d i n t h e m o t o r b e in g d r i v e n b a c k -ward in to the f r o n t s e a t.

I was in a dazed condi-tion, but was able to walk to a fillingstation about a hundred feet away. Therewas a woman there and I asked her, Arep u a Christian? She replied, Yes.I said, Would you pray for me? Shelooked at me and saw the blood on myface, and suddenly became hysterical. Atthat moment a mail ran in the store a n dsaid, Thcre has been an awful tragedy.I am sure there have been several peoplekilled in that car wreck. We hac bettercall aii ambulance. I was conscious justlong enough to say, Call Dudley Hug hes,on Jefferson Street. Bro the r and Sist erHughes are good friends of ours. Sothey called Dudley Hughes and that wasthe last I emembered. I ell unconscious,as the ambulance rushed to the scene. Itis against the law to take six people atone time in an ambulance, but they sawour condition, and they got us all in. Myfather was pulled out o f he f ront seatof th e car and was put in th e ambulancewith us, and we were taken to the Method-ist Hospital in Dallas. B y this time myfather had lost so much blood,.they couldnot understand how he was still alive.Friends gathered in the corridor of theHospital, while the doctors and nurses triedto do their best for us. Soon a doctor wento u t into the hall and said, If you want tosee an y of th e Hayes family alive, you maysee them now. None of them will l ive longert h a n possibly thirty minutes. Many people

The doctors had nohope for my father , but they started giv-.ing him blood transfusions. He lingeredon for many days, although the doctorscontinued to entertain no hope for him.His face was so lacerated that they did noteven take stitches. They just put big clampson his face. They expected that i f he lived,they would have to use surgery to helphis disfigured face. Then on the tenth day,they took the dressing off of my fathersface and, to their surprise, God had alreadydone the plastic surgery!It was t rue; fa ther did not have a s c a r !The doctors could not understand it, an dthey told my father , It was a higherpower that healed your face. His phys-ical condition was somewhat improved,but they said that even if he lived, hewould be a n invalid the r est o f his life. Atfirst they said his legs could not be setbecause his bones were chewed up intolittle splinters, But he was praying an dfolks all over Texas were praying. Thedoctors could not understand, but Godwas recreating bones all the time. Theytook a number o f X-ray s and a t last saidthat there was enough new bone to setthe legs. They set his legs and placedhim in a cast , and after many days thedoctors X-ra yed again, and said, We be-l ieve that it is going to be possible fo-this man to walk again, but it is going tobe on crutches.They attempted to set his bones, andthe Lord was certainly with them, inperforming the work. After wearing thiscast for 119 days, they put him in bracesfrom his hips on down and they placedlocks on each knee. My father, like ababy, had to learn to walk all overagain, but soon he was able to hold hisbalance very well.

    One night my father was in the cl~urch,and the power of God fell . As he was

    walking up on the platform on hiscrutches, the glory seemed to sweep overthe place, and he felt that God had givenhim increased faith. So he said, After aservice like this I eel that God will healmy body! He laid his crutch es down andstarted to walk all over the building. Hebegan to cry and shout that God had per-formed a miracle. From that night forwardhe did not have to walk with his crutches.In another service, just a few nights after-ward, when the g l o r y of the Lord camedown again, my father said, The Lord hashealed me and I dont have to use thesebraces any longer. I believe that God canhelp me to walk normally this night. So,he took off his braces. He walked all overthe building, stepped upon the platformthat was about eighteen inches high and,His crutches and his braces today standin the closet of his home.from that night, he has walked normally.

    Chapter 111HO W GOD HEALED M EAt the t ime of the collision, my headstruck the middle of the front seat. Thiscaused the seat to be knocked loose fromboth hinges. The impact broke a bloodvessel in my head, and I began to hem-orrhage at once. Blood was gushing outof my nose as we were being taken tothe hospital. and it seemed my end hadcome. The doctors examined me when wearrived, and they said, We dont see howthis boy has l ived as long as he has. F o rfifteen days I ay on a hospital cot, whicheveryone thought was my death-bed. Attimes I would become conscious andwould feel intense pain in my body. Iwas so miserable that I would cry ou tto God to let me die. I would toss andtumble from one side of the bed to theother. Sometimes the pain would be sosevere that I would pull the hair frommy head. Then I would go off into un-consciousness again.On the fifteenth day, about seven

This nauseated me, and I be-gan to pass l arg e clots of blood. All dur-ing the night I hemorrhaged, and bymorning Iwas rapidly weakening. Duringthe day my heartbeats became weakerand weaker. When I was conscious I real-ized that the doctors and medical sciencecould do nothing for me, and th at soon Imust die.It was at this time that I began to callon God. As I prayed, I thought of the mil-lions of people going to hell without God.I .cried to the Lord and said, God if youwill raise me off of this death-bed as a tes-timony to Yon, I will go before the pcopleand preach with all the strength that yongive me, to win every lost soul I can froma devils hell. Lord, I will seek You fora deeper depth and higher height, to knowmore of Thy truths, and I will try mybest to be the man that You would haveme to be. At 6 : 3 0 that night the Lordspoke to me and said, My son, you aregoing to live.

    and filled with such love as I had neverknown before. God gave me a compassionfor the souls of men t ha t I never beforehad. I realized the sad condition that theworld i s in, with people going on day byday, careless and unconcerned.There was one incident that impressedme, while I was lying there on thatbed. At one time the nurses came in andinjected a needle into my right arm andbegan to give me a blood transfusion. Ihad fe lt life going out of me, and mychest and lungs seemed to be caved in.But when the blood began im flow intomy body, I felt new life coming wheredeath had seemed to have taken hold.

Ithad been paralyzed and I could not movei t i n any direc t ion; I could not close myeyelid; my face was disfigured. I had facialparalysis on thc left side. Blood clots werepressing against my brain, and my headwas almost a size larger than normal. Atseven oclock, the night the Lord spoke tom e, I felt a bolt of power go through mefrom the top of my head to the sole ofmy feet. I knew that I was healed. Four dayslater I was dismissed from the hospital andwas permitted to go h ome.Sometimes people have asked me whyi t was that the Lord allowed such atragedy to occur. Just before Iwas healedI asked the Lord why this happened whenI had been trying to serve Him with allmy heart, and to win souls for Christ.Then the L o r d said,Romans 8:2&s i n n e d a w a y your day o fg?ace .
