<TITLE>07. Par 23-26</TITLE>L-23 Looking out to one side, I seen a man motioning his hand, like this. And I thought it looked like a ambulance driver. He had on a blue looking uniform. And I said, "Are you motioning for me, sir?"
He said, "Yes, sir." Said, "Brother Branham," said, "I've brought my patient down from Kennett, where the blind man was healed this morning." He said, "And I've got to make another trip tonight from the hospital." And said, "I think my patient's dead." (We had to have a house doctor there. There's so many sick and things; you have to have a house doctor. We couldn't find him anywhere.) Said, "I think my patient's dead. Won't you come to her?"
And I said, "Brother, I'd like to go. But how could I get through that crowd? There's probably two or three thousand people between here and there."

L-24 They had a row reserved for ambulances out there. Many of them, eighteen or twenty of them setting in that row. And I said, "Well, I--I couldn't get out there."
Four men stepped down out of the balcony, said, "We'll take you, Brother Branham, if you wish to go."
I said, "Well, if you'll sing a hymn while I'm gone, or something."
One of the ministers stepped up to the microphone. And they started me through the crowd. Oh, my. I was pushing, and people crying and begging. Oh, you know. We got out to the ambulance; they opened the door. And he stepped to the door. And one sight that I shall never forget...

L-25 Sometime when I can get alone up in the mountains, I set down and think these things over. Now, I don't have time, hardly. And there was a dear old Arkansas brother, very typical, an old faded out blue shirt on, been washed many times, his hat, sewed, the top of it with twine, wrapping cord, his shoes, the soles of them about off. And he was kneeling down on the floor, gripping this hat, and needed a shave real bad, and the tears rolling down his face, saying, "God, give me mother back."
And I looked, laying there, there laid a woman with her mouth open, her eyes open, also set back.
And the intern said, "Here's Brother Branham."

L-26 He turned around, said, "Oh, Brother Branham," said, "how I want--wanted... She wanted to see you." Said, "She's a good woman, Brother Branham." Said, "She's helped... She's raised five children." Said, "They're all grown and married." Said, "Now we..." Said, "We've got her a little place." And said, "She... We picked blackberries last summer," and said, "together." And said, "She made some quilts." And said, "She's been so bad with cancer," said, "they've give her up. And we sold the blackberries yesterday, and some of her quilts so we could have the money to pay the ambulance to bring us down here." Said, "She wanted to see you so bad. And she's gone, Brother Branham. It was her last request. I've done all I could do, sir."
And I said, "God bless you, dad." I put my hand... I said, "You'll see her in a better land then."
He said, "Yes, she was a Christian, Brother Branham. But oh, she wanted to see you so bad."
