<TITLE>05. Par 16-18</TITLE>L-16 I was going to ask them in London, England, and Sweden; anywhere you go, you find people from Arkansas. Where I was over on the west coast, and I said there one night where I was having services, where Charles Fuller at the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium... Brother Fuller said, "Brother Branham, the people over here will never come to hear such fanaticism."
I said, "Oh, they won't?"
"No." Said, "You'd better preach the Gospel while you're over here."
I said, "That's what I'm doing."
He said, "Well," he said, "that's Divine healing."
I said, "Brother Fuller, I belong to the Baptist church too. I know how you're feel about it." But I said, "Let me tell you something."
He said, "Brother Branham, everything over here is Divine healing." Said, "People won't come out." He said, "First is that McPherson movement. Next was that fanatic Pentecost." He said, "And all up-and-down this street here and everything's got Divine healing." And he said, "People won't come out. You're renting that auditorium for nearly a thousand dollars." He said, "You're going to be left alone."
I said, "Look, Brother Fuller," I said, "God will recognize His gift if it was in the middle of hell." See? I said, "Don't worry about that."
He said, "Well, I can't advertise it."
I said, "I never asked you to, Brother Fuller." I just talking to you. Said, "Come on down and kick your hat in." I said, "I'll be there."
But he said, "I'm telling you before, you'll be left without."
We went down there that afternoon, Brother Moore, and a group of us. Had about eighteen, twenty-hundred people setting around. And when his group went out, he had his sermon...

L-17 Now, remember, Charles Fuller is a wonderful, God-sent man, a real Christian man. Don't know whether you ever got his program or not. He has the "Old Fashion Revival Hour," which is a very fine program. Wonderful, marvelous teacher, a good man, aged, he's getting pretty aged. But he's a good man. I believe he's a real Christian.
And when we was leaving, Brother Fuller was going out, Brother Moore and I were standing there. And there went his audience out after he made a fine talk. And a lady came down, shook hands with him to give her heart to Christ, which is wonderful.
He was going to start out. And there when all of his crowd out, fine dressed people, you know, very highly educated. He was standing there telling them, "Just you believe right now, and be saved. That's all." See? Then when his crowd went--going out, here come my crowd in--wheelchairs, straight jackets.
And brother, it's a different thing when your faith has to buck something like that. Just preach, speaking to a crowd, and tell them to raise up their hand and accept Christ. He turned pale looking.
That night, there was so many people there, they stood plumb down on the side of the beach. A fifty-five hundred auditorium wouldn't even seat half of them. They was standing out everywhere.
I tell you, where the carcass is, the eagles will be gathered. You can depend...

L-18 Notice, wife was there that night when we looked and seen all that mass of people standing there, Jonesboro. She said, "Honey, did all those come to hear you preach?"
I said, "No. They've come from the east and west. They come from the north and south, and the lands afar to feast with the King, to dine as His guests." I said, "They're children of the King." I said, "They're not here to see me, honey. They're here to see Jesus."
She said, "Well, how will you ever get to the auditorium?"
I said, "There'll be men to meet me at the bottom of the hill here."
I looked at that crowd; I said, raised up my hands. I said, "Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious Blood shall never lose its power till all the ransomed church of God be saved to sin no more."
The Gospel is the greatest drawing card the world's ever had. That's right. Though preached in its simplicity... "If I be lifted up, I'll draw all men unto Me." That's true.
