<TITLE>09. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 And the driver set there, the intern, the driver. He said, "Brother Branham, you couldn't get out that door." Said, "They're just packed against there." Said, "I'll tell you what I'll do." Said, "I sent those men all around..."
Way back in the parking lot, standing full of people. And some of them hadn't left there for eight days. It was drizzling rain. And so they had this...
Set right in the seat. Anyone on the inside, stayed there. They let somebody go out and get them a hamburger or something, come in. They'd eat right there. They wouldn't move. They stayed right there, slept right in their seats.
And he--he just started to unbutton his coat, like this, and hold it back at the door, like he was taking his coat off. Said, "Now when I do that you go out the other side. And they're going to meet you down there at the end."
I said, "All right." That looked like a hypocritical deed, but I just couldn't... I had to do it. I couldn't get back to the auditorium.

L-31 And I went out the side, like that, the other side which was near the fence. I went down along that row of ambulances there. And way down, come around the end of the alley, come into a big parking lot. And just about as far as three, four times this tent. And it just milling full of people.
Well, I thought, "Where are those people at?" And no one knew me. They hadn't seen me back there. So I started pushing through, trying to get up towards the door. I thought maybe they'd be up there towards the door. The big lights out there. And I--I was going, pushing through, like this. And everybody hollering, "Set down. Quit pushing."
I just kept on going, you know. And I... "Quit pushing." And I just kept on going.
After while, I... There was a big fellow standing there, whittling with his knife. I kinda stepped up against him, like that. I said, "Pardon me."
He said, "I said, 'Quit pushing.'"
I was afraid he was going to push. So I--I did stop. And so I said, "Yes, sir. Excuse me, sir." I stood there a little bit.
He was looking down at me, kept on whittling, talking to the other fellow.

L-32 I looked at him a little bit till he got his head turned good. And I looked around to see where the door was. It's quite a distance yet to the door. I couldn't see no one coming for me yet.
So I heard a cry. I heard somebody hollering, "Daddy! Daddy! Oh, daddy." The most pathetic cry.
I looked around to see where it was. Coming down through the audience come a well dressed colored girl, just as blind as she could be. Her eyes were just as white with cataracts nearly as my shirt. She was coming along like this, nobody noticing her, coming along, like that, hollering, "Daddy! Oh, daddy!"
And I watched her. And I thought, "Well now, isn't that amazing. Look like somebody would help that poor girl. Regardless of what they think about it; they--they ought to help that girl some way." I thought, "I believe I'll help her."

L-33 I didn't see no one. So I started moving out to her. And I thought, "You know, maybe the Lord will heal her." So I begin to think about that. And I heard her crying. And I... She was crying. And I walked out. And I thought, "I'll just try her faith, just get a conversation with her." And I... Ever which way she was going, I'd make myself get right in her way.
And finally, she bumped into me. And she said, "Excuse me, suh."
And I said... That's southern talk, you know, "Suh." And I said, "Yes, ma'am.
And she backed off. She said, "Daddy!"
I thought, "Now, I'll just see what kind of faith you have...?..." That looked like a hypocrite again, to do that. And I said, "Ah, what do you want?"
She said, "Suh, I lost my daddy. I cain't find him no whuh."
I said, "Look like you're blind."
Said, "Yes, suh. I's blind."
Nice talking lady. And I said, "Well, ah, I don't see no more colored people around here." I said, "Where you from?"
She said, "I's from Memphis."
