''And one morning the Lord said, "Go up in the top of Sabino Canyon."'' 
''And I was up there holding up my hands, praying. I felt something strike my hand. It was a sword. Now, you can just imagine how you'd feel, standing there by yourself and here's a knife in your hand about that long. I pulled it down and looked at it. It was just a knife, one of them... And I'm scared of a knife, anyhow. And it had a--it had a--a metal, something like one of these knives, like pot metal or something, real sharp and narrow. Had a sheath around it here, where the dueler's used to, to keep from cutting one another's hands, and--and it had a pearl in the handle here, just fit my hand exactly. Well, I rubbed my face and looked back. (Right on that same spot, the other day, I saw a little white dove come down. I'll tell you about that later on.)'''' 
''And I was holding that in my hand; I thought, "That's strange. Now, Lord, I--am I losing my mind? There's no one here. I'm miles from anybody, and here is a sword. I had my hands up, and where did it come from?" And I thought, "That's the strangest thing. Now, looky here; it's a sword; see, hit it, and it was a sword." And I said, "There's nobody here standing here. I'm up on top of these rocks, plumb on top of the mountain." And you couldn't even see Tucson from there, it was so far down.'' 
''I thought, "Now, that's a strange thing. Now, it's got to be in this vicinity somewhere, somebody that could create and make a sword and put it in my hand." And I said, "It could only be the very God that created a ram for Abraham, could create those squirrels" that you've heard. And I said, "Here is the material, three different kinds of material in it, and I'm holding it in my hand just as real as anything else I could hold in my hand."'' 
''And I heard a Voice, said, "That's the King's Sword."'' 
''And I thought, "Now, where did that come from? Was right along there in them rocks somewhere." And I held up my hand like that; I said, "A king's sword."'' 
''And I looked around, and the sword was gone. And I said, "A king's sword." That's to... They knight with--with a sword; I think that's right, the army or some way; they knight with it. You know, and I said, "Well, that's what that was probably for. It means that maybe I'm to lay hands upon ministers, or something like that to make them ministers." And then I...'' 
''A Voice spoke back again, said, "THE King's Sword," not a king, THE King's Sword. See?''
