<TITLE>05. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 I--I was coming to myself in the room. I was standing right in the middle of the floor. I hadn't been nowhere, it looked like but right in the floor. There was someone had come in to the door. I said, "Yes, come in."
Somebody... He opened the door and come in. He said, "What's the matter?" And I said... He was crying. He said, "Brother Branham, do you remember me?"
And I said, "No, sir, I don't."
And he said, "My name is John Emmel." He said, "About four years ago, you baptized me and my family." And said, "During the time of the war, up here at the powder plant, you..."
I said, "I remember you now. You killed a man, didn't you."
He said, "Yes, sir. I hit him with my fist and broke his neck in a fight." And said, "And I--I ran away." He said, "I backslid." And said, "Last year, my little boy died with pneumonia." Said, "I got a little boy left, and Doctor Bruner of our city says he's dying now with pneumonia."
And I said, "Is that right?"
Said, "Yes." Said, "Will you pray for him?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "Well, I'm going down to get Graham Snelling..." He's my associate pastor now at the Branham Tabernacle at Jeffersonville. He said... "I'm..." That was his cousin. Said, "I'm going to get Brother Graham to come go with us." And he said, "The baby..." Said, "Do you know where I live?"
And I said, "No, sir."
He said, "I live about four miles above Utica, Indiana." And Utica is seven miles from Jeffersonville.
I said, "All right, I'll go."
He said, "Well, don't get your car, I will take you in my car."
And I said, "All right."

L-18 And as soon as he went out, mother called me, she said, "Honey, what was the matter with that man? He just kept shaking and calling, shaking the door."
And I said, "Mother, I... Something's happened." I said, "I--I was in a vision."
She said, "Oh, were you?" And I said... She said, "Is it anything good?"
And I said, "Yes, the man's little boy is going to be healed."
And so just in a few moments, he returned, and I got in the car and we started up to the Navy yard. And I... So going up the road, and he said...
I said, "Mister Emmel, I guess it's awfully hard on you being backslid now."

L-19 He said, "Yes, Brother Branham," said, "I'm ashamed of myself. I was even ashamed to come after you." Said, "The baby's been sick for about two weeks." But said, "I--I was ashamed to come after you." Said, "And Doctor Bruner said it was going to die." Said that he left at about two o'clock. It was then about four, four-thirty. He said, "He says it was going to die. So there wasn't nothing to do but come and take the last thing I knew to..."
I said, "Mister Emmel, you said you lived above Utica?"
He said, "Yes, sir."
And I said, "You live in a little white house, don't you?"
And he said, "Yes, sir."
And I said, "The front door faces south of you?"
And he said, "Yes, sir."
I said, "You have a red duofold in that house, don't you?"
He said, "Yes, sir."
And I said, "You have red baseboards, or--or around the side, like this, tongue, made out of tongue and groove stuff."
Said, "Yes."
I said, "Your baby's about... I'd say about three years old, and is wearing blue corduroys?"
He said, "Was you ever up there?"
And I said, "Uh, uh, not in--in the way that you would think I was."
He said, "Well, Brother Branham, that's..."
I said, "And the--the baby's barely breathing, isn't it?"
He said, "It is."
Well, I said, "It's THUS SAITH THE LORD, your baby's going to live."
He said, "Brother Branham?"
And I said, "Well, is it... How..."
"Well you never was in my house?"
I said, "I was just there a few moments ago."
He said, "Well, I never seen you, Brother Branham."
I said, "No, I was... It was a vision, Brother Emmel."
And he said...
I said, "But don't worry, your baby will live."
