<TITLE>15. Par 53-56</TITLE>L-53 Now, then at Little Rock, they sent for me to come to... What was that man's name? Postmaster there at... Ever who it is, you from--from Memphis know who I'm speaking of, I guess. He's--he's a tall fellow. But anyhow, when I get through with the description here, you'll know. And the man was with him was named Kenny. I remember that, Mr. Kenny.
And they sent for me to come over there to pray for this man, said he was dying.
Well, I got ready to go, first plane flight. And instead of going over... I was getting ready, and I was putting on this suit of clothes. And I heard something like a wind blowing in the room, begin going, whew, whew, whew, whew. [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] I thought, "My, the wind's awful high today." And I was putting on my shirt, you know, and coats and things. I was a singing. And Brother Brown was going to fix me to go over there, said the man was dying.

L-54 And that man that went over to doctor General Patton... You all remember him? They'd brought him in there by plane for this man. Everything said he's dying, a pneumonia case too. Said, "He's dying. The man can't get well," had asthma, asthmatic pneumonia. And so I started to put on my coat, and I was thinking Brother Brown would be there most any time.
And they couldn't get a... And Mr. Kenny had come by a fast car. He was some kind of an official of the law there, you know, and he had a--had a red light and siren on his car. And he come over, had left early so he could get me, so if the plane did miss.

L-55 And I looked over there, and just a whirl like going around in the room. And I knelt down to pray. And when I did, the Angel of the Lord spoke, and said, "Do not go over there. His time has come." All right. I got up and took back off my coat. In a few moments, they come up to the door. And as Brother Kenny run in, said, "You, Brother Branham?"
I said, "Yes." And Brother Brown was with him. Now, you all know Brother Brown, or any of you wish to write to this testimony. He put his arm around me, said, "Oh, I've had faith to know." Said, "He's a personal friend of Paul Morgan." Said, "He knowed of his daughter." And said, "Of course, he's unconscious now." But said, "He's a bosom friend of mine." And said, "You know..."
I said, "But sir, you'll probably find your buddy gone when you return back. For THUS SAITH THE LORD, the man is going to die."

L-56 Well, you just about... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] "Well, the Holy Spirit is warned me not to go. He spoke to me here in the room a few moments ago."
He said, "But Brother Branham," said, "they just... His wife said... They're just... They're coming in out of the... of a big church, you know, into their church." And said, "If you just... If you," said, "it'd just mean so much to her."
I said, "But I can't help it, sir. I cannot go against the will of God. I can't go."
He said, "You mean my buddy's going to die?"
I said, "He will probably be dead when you return." I said, "However, what time will you get back?"
He said, "I'll get back by eight o'clock tonight."
I said, "Call me in the morning. I'll be praying." I said, "I'm interested in him. And let me know when he passes away." I said, "You call me in the morning and let me know his condition, and just when he passed away, if he was passed away when you got there. And never mind calling me tonight, 'cause I'll be in service. And don't call me, 'cause I don't know, may not be in from service till two or three o'clock in the morning."
Well, he was so... He started out crying. He said, "My poor buddy. My poor buddy," like that, going back crying.
