<TITLE>11. Par 40-42</TITLE>L-40 That night in the service, Brother Brown said, "Come down here, Brother Branham, and I'll show you a sight that you've never seen."
And I went down the steps, and there stood a very typical old Arkansas brother, standing there with a pair of washed out overalls on, standing on--on the steps as you went down to the auditorium.
And I said, "Howdy do, sir."
And he said, "Howdy do, Brother Branham."
And I went on down. And I said, "Where's the case?"
Said, "There she is."
And laying over there was a lady. A strong looking, great strong arms and limbs. And the blood was just trenching down the leg like that. Was laying on her back, her feet sticking right up and her hands, right up like that, laying on her back, laying over in a corner. And I said, "Why's she bleeding?"
Said, "Brother Branham." Said, "She lost her mind from a shot that the doctor give her in the menopause."...?... but the... In the menopause, and gave her a shot, and it went to her mind. And she lost her mind.
And said, "She's been in the institution two years." And said, "I've got five little children at home." Said, "I've sold my farm and everything I have." Said, "to try to treat her." And said, "They finally had to take her away." He said, "And I've... Say, I've heard that there's been a lady before from over at Pineville, over there at the Mississippi, at the institution... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?...
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... institution had been insane ten years, and received her mind when I passed by."
And she grabbed a hold of my pants legs, trouser legs. And her daughter said, "God have mercy."
Said, "Brother Branham, ask God."
I said, "You believe He will do it?"
Said, "Yes."
And then I asked God to bless her, and there bumping her head on the floor like that. And her a young lady...

L-41 And I about oh, two weeks after that, I was in San Antonio. I heard someone arguing outside the little place where I was at, a little tourist camp. Said, "I want see Brother Branham."
And Brother Kidson said, "I just can't permit that." Said, "He's in there praying."
He said, "Well, I just want to shake his hand."
And I looked out the window. I seen he was a soldier boy. I opened the door and I said, "You want to see me, sir?"
And he said, "Are you Brother Branham?" He said, "Is it... Oh, Brother Branham." He come threw his arms around me. Kissed me on the side of the neck.
And I said, "What's the matter, soldier boy?"
He said, "Brother Branham, you remember the other night over in San Antonio where a lady was bumping her head against the side?"
I said, "Oh, are you related?"
"Yeah." Said, "That was my mother." Said, "I went overseas; she didn't even know I was in the war." And said, "She was in there for ten years." And said, "Brother Branham, they dismissed her from the institution, sent her home." Said, "She's preparing dinner when I left." He said, "I just wanted to hug you, and say that I'm so happy that mother is home in her right mind."
And I said, "Well, now, brother, are you a Christian?" He said, "Yes, brother, He brought me through the battles and everything. I trusted Him."
Well, I said, "Well, God bless you. Just go give praise to God."

L-42 And they had heard of this, and he told me the man on the steps that night said he heard about it. And I said, "Well--well, and your wife?"
And he said, "Yeah."
I said, "Well, I shall go out."
At that time, there was no discerning. It hadn't come to me yet of knowing what was... I had to take hold of people's hands to contact their body. That never come till just right, just about a year ago this time, I guess, in Vancou--or, Regina, I believe it was, in Canada. Then He promised it would come, but it hadn't come yet. Now, as quick as I get through, we'll start the prayer line.
