<TITLE>03. Par 10-12</TITLE>L-10 I remember a little joke. It's not a joke. I don't mean to say it that way. But just something was kinda funny. I was going up the road. And I got so sleepy I'd hear cars blowing. I'd be on the other side of the road. And I...
But one time, I woke up, and I was way out in a cow pasture with my hands out saying, "It'll happen, sister, if you'll just believe." I really was praying for the sick. I thought I was praying for the sick out in the cow pasture.
My wife... Listen. I--I got home, and she tried to put me to bed. And I--I couldn't sleep. There they was, lined up all around the house. And I was...
I woke up, and I had a pillow hugged up in my arm, like this, saying, "God bless you, honey. You're sure to get well."
And she was standing there, crying and shaking me. She said, "Honey, what's the matter?"
I said, "Oh, honey, I thought I was praying for the sick." And I laid the pillow back down. And I'd go over there. I remember I just barely got to sleep, just barely asleep. And she went out. We had this little old two room shack, cold as it could be. And we had an old quilt in the door stubbed together to keep the kiddies from taking pneumonia. And there was...

L-11 I remember laying across the bed. And I was so tired. I just couldn't move. My little baby didn't know me; I'd lost so much weight, my little girl. And I went in and I laid down. And I heard an old car coming up and stop... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... Outside there was an old, about '30 model Chevrolet, and the lights wired on. I heard a little baby out in the kitchen making a noise. I was in the next room.
I heard my wife out there, saying, "Well, don't... Let's not wake him up." Said, "He's just barely got to sleep." Said, "You just stay around, and it's getting towards daylight anyhow."
And I'd heard the little baby making a funny noise, going [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.]. And I--and I heard the mother say, "It's been almost six weeks now as he keeps crying." Said, "No one know what's the matter. The doctor can't stop it. They don't know what's wrong." Said, "I constantly drove all the way from Ohio (By the way, they come from Ohio.), all the way down." And--and I heard her say, "Well, if you..."
"He's just been sleeping about five minutes," Meda said.

L-12 I was laying there. I thought, "Well, I'll try to go back to sleep." Could I go back to sleep, and poor little old mother setting out there and a baby in her arms in the kitchen? To think that maybe a little intercession would help the baby. I couldn't do it. I got up, put on my shirt and tried to go out into the cold. And got out to the kitchen. There sets a mother there with a little baby. And my wife was talking to her, kind of wanted to make her something cold--or, a cup of coffee, or something.
Said, "No, we just got something to eat coming down."
I said, "How long has it been crying, mother?"
She said, "Almost six weeks. They don't know what's the matter with it."
I said, "If--if I'll ask the Lord, will you believe He'll bless it, and then you can--you'll go back home believing, holding that?"
She said, "Yes, Brother Branham."
I knelt down, wife, we around the table. The mother laid her little baby on the table. And I put my hands upon the little thing. And I said, "Father, it... You brought this little fellow into the world. It can't talk. They don't know what's the matter with it. Doctors can't find the trouble. But will You just help the little thing."
And while we yet had our hand laying on the little baby, it quit crying. In a few moments, it was gooing and laughing. We set there and talked to each other a few moments. And the baby was normal and well. They just taken it and went on home.
