<TITLE>09. Par 34-36</TITLE>L-34 I remember in one meeting in--over in another meeting I was at, I had one night's service, over in Missouri at a--quite a large city. And while I left the auditorium, it was small, just about--audience just about like this tonight. And I went up into a--the third floor. Walked from the--from the tabernacle, or auditorium, up into the third floor of the hotel, and just was lying down asleep just a little bit with my clothes on across the bed. And I was to meet my wife the next day at Poplar Bluff, and was have a radio broadcast, and going on down into Arkansas.
And I remember while lying there about ten minutes, I heard someone knock on the door. And when I went to the door, it was the manager of the hotel. He said, "Are you Reverend Branham?"
I said, "Yes sir."
He said, "Well, Mister Branham, you'll have to leave the hotel."
Well, I said, "What have I done, sir?"
He said, "Well, we can't have this around the hotel." And he opened up the door, and friends, there was about a four lane prayer line come from the door down through, out into the lobby, and down into the street of people followed over there. And I looked out there. He said...
I said, "Well, I don't know what to do, sir."
He said, "You go down the fire escape, and I'll go down and call you a cab. He will come down through the alley and pick you up."
And I went down there, and it was snowing. I looked outside, I seen those little old mothers out there holding things over their babies to keep that snow out of their face, and people on canes, and them with palsy shaking. I just couldn't pass by there.

L-35 I went on out there on the street and started a prayer line. Turned around with street begin to be crowded. And the Lord healing, throwing down their crutches and things, running away. And the cops was all out there directing the traffic. We had a glorious time out there, because that the people believed that they would be healed.

L-36 Now, at Fort Wayne, they found out where the hotel we were in, the Indiana Hotel. And then in that one night, we started down. We just couldn't get out. You just--just people just so congested. It was terrible. And then we had about three more days to stay.
And so the bellhop... My brother hired the bellhop. And he told him which way we go down, and go over the... through the furnace room and come out up in the alley. And so it was hard to do. But they taken me down, go on to the meetings, and go up through the alley; wife, and one of Mayo's nurses that was healed with cancer. And she was with us.
And so they--they was taking me over for breakfast, and I'd been eating at the little place called Toddle House, I believe it was. And... No, Hobb's House. And one morning, we were going down, the second morning, I had my overcoat pulled up, and--and was walking down the street packing my little girl. And all of a sudden, the Holy Spirit came down. Do you believe in being led of the Spirit? And I hand the baby over to the wife, and she said, "What's the matter, honey?"
I said, "The Holy Spirit's leading me."
