<TITLE>13. Par 41-44</TITLE>L-41 So she said... I said, "You give your life to Christ. Your little boy dies now, and you all not Christians, you'll never be with him no more. But if you die... If he dies, and you're a Christian and you die, you'll go up to heaven and be with him forever."
Well, they seen that was a--a good proposition. So they just asked what to do. We knelt down there. And I had them to repeat prayer and to give their hearts to Christ, which they did. And then they raised up. And they said, "Go in and ask God what to do."
Well, I said, "I shall go in and pray, then I'll let you know."
Said, "We'll wait and find out what He says."
I said, "That's very lovely. But He don't have to answer me. See? He might not answer me for a week. He might not answer me, might answer me in an hour. But you go on home, and I'll tell you what He says."
Said, "No, you go down at the hospital."
I said, "He can answer me in this room just the same as He could at the hospital." I said, "Go and believe now. And whatever He says... If He says your baby's going to die, I'll send you word. If He says your baby's going to live, I'll send you word. But I can't say until first He tells me."

L-42 All right. I went in and prayed: nothing. So I went to the hospital. The little boy was getting worse, sinking all the time. That night passed. That was the night the little crippled girl was healed. Then the next night come along; nothing had happened. I went...
And oh, those people were frantic. They were calling every fifteen minutes on the phone, nearly to Mrs. Isaacson, "What has the Lord said about our child?" Nothing had been said.
I went in that night. My brother, Howard (set--standing over here, works in the prayer line), he went in with me. And their candy over there... The poor people don't have sugar to put in it. And he'd got ahold of two little pieces of candy that day, about that big. He said, "Brother, I'm going to give this to you," as we went up. Brother Baxter went to his room, Brother Lindsay in the other room.

L-43 And I had a room to myself so I can always be alone to pray. And I took these two pieces of candy and went in. And as I went in, I laid them down, like that. And I walked over there to the window. It's still light. It don't get dark there that time of the year. And I raised up my hands, and I said, "O great Jehovah, how marvelous..." at the window, in the hotel. I said, "Oh, You're the root of all goodness. You're the Fountain of Life. You're the Beginning to the Ending. You're God." I begin to praise Him from the window. And I said, "Oh, how I love You, how Your Son died to redeem me and what You've done to that little girl tonight... How I appreciate working for You, Father."
And I turned around to walk. And as I turned to look this a way, turned around, I looked... Bible in my hand... There He stood looking at me. He set a vase down on the table. And in that vase was two American Easter flowers. We call them daffodils or whatever, you know, bright looking daffodils, Easter flowers. And I may give that the wrong name. I don't know nothing about flowers. But anyhow, I call them Easter flowers.

L-44 And they were in a little vase about that high. And I looked at them, and one fell to the south, and one fell to the north. And I looked at that. He said, "That's the two boys."
And the one to the north, raised up; and the one to the south raised part of the way up and went wilting down. The one went to the north was the little boy that had been--that come back from the dead. And one that was in the south was dying, going down.
And I said, "O God, have mercy."
He looked at me, and He said, "What's that your brother give you?"
And I said, "Candy, Sir."
He looked and He said, "Eat."
I picked up one piece of it and eat it. It taste real good. Then that one from the north, it straightened right straight.
