<TITLE>13. Par 52-56</TITLE>L-52 Thank you, honey girl. Thank you, sweetheart. Ain't that lovely? Let's say "Praise the Lord" for the little girl. [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.] God bless you, sweetheart. Fine, fine. God bless you, honey. God bless you. Look at her little...?... Well, bless her little heart. [A sister speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] What... God bless you...?... Well, God bless her little heart.
I want to give this testimony here. The little girl was unable to speak or anything when she come four years ago. And she brought this as a little commemoration for healing, as she was healed four years ago. Let's say, "Praise the Lord," every one. [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.]

L-53 Going to get well? [The sister continues talking to Brother Branham--Ed.] What? What was the matter with him? Her husband was healed a few nights ago. Said he was setting near the post there and was called out with cancer. And he's healed. There he is standing in the aisle back there. Let's say, "Praise the Lord." [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.]...?... Let's say, "Praise the Lord" for that. How wonderful. [Congregation says, "Praise the Lord."--Ed.] Her husband. That's fine. Said he come up from down around Douglas, or somewhere, that--that the--from Brother King's church. All right.
We're thankful to hear of them. That's mighty nice, a little commemoration to come back just to--to give it me. I'm... A little Spanish girl. She was awfully afflicted, and she couldn't speak. And her little hands was just growed together, or something another, as little stubs then. I believe the child will be all right now.

L-54 Now, back to the life story, of when we were in the... That night, the--the girl, when they turned the light on me and let--made me walk up the road. And I went up and set down in a field and cried. And I was ready to try to take my life. I said, "Oh, I just don't know. I--I'm ready to--to--to end this thing." I said, "How in the world could I ever go through life and--and everybody against me?" Looked like when I'd go home, they'd have parties and so forth. Then when I would--when I would try to get out with people, I was misunderstood. I never was understood right until I got amongst this group of people. That--that's exactly right. Then I had people who understood me and loved me.
And then on down, some of you might wondering, being so backward and bashful, how I ever come to get married. I'll tell you about it as quick as I can.

L-55 Oh, my. That... After that girl done me like that, I just soured myself against the women. I said, "I didn't have nothing to do with them at all." And I thought that was horrible. I said, "I'll never have nothing to do with any more girls. I'll never go out with one as long as I live."
I'd go down the street, and I'd see one on one side of the street, I'd cross over and get on the other, if I thought she was going to speak to me. I was really against it.

L-56 So, one day I happened to be out making a high-dive somewhere, out of a tree. And a car drove up, and a young lady stepped out. And there it was again. So there it all started. She happened to be a Christian girl, my little boy's mother.
And she started me going to church. And I went with her for about six or--six or eight months. And she was such a nice girl, so friendly, and nice, and ladylike. That's the type of girl that I liked. Only her father was... Well, he done pretty well. He had a good job, making about five hundred and something dollars a month on Pennsylvania... organizer on the Pennsylvania Railroad. I made twenty cents a hour. He drove a--a Buick, and I had an old T-Model Ford, backslid. So I... Quite a difference in the way we had to--to live.
