<TITLE>27. Par 103-106</TITLE>L-103 And I seen her going fast. And I said, "Sweetheart, are you going?"
And she said, "Yes."
I said, "Is...?... If I'm alive, I'll be on the battlefields somewhere preaching the Gospel when Jesus comes. But if I'm not," I said, "I'll be planted by your side." And I said, "When the dead in Christ arise, if I happen not to be right with you, if I'm out in the field somewhere, and you go...?..." I said, "You go over to the east side of the gate. You stand there. When you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob coming up, you scream, 'Bill' just as loud as you can." I said, "I'll get the children together, and I'll meet you there."
She said, "I'll be looking for you." She threw her hands up like that. And I kissed her good-bye. She went to be with God.
That's my date with...?... I'm living as true as I know how to keep it. Someday I'll be there by God's grace.

L-104 When I returned home, oh, how I felt. I just couldn't hardly stand it, how they'd--they taken her down to the undertaker morgue and then they embalmed her body and laid her out.
I was laying there that night; I happened to look. Somebody knocked at the door, Mr. Broy come up, he said, "Billy," said, "I hate to tell you the bad news."
I said, "Brother Frank, I know she's down there in the morgue." I said...
He said, "That's not all of it." Said, "Your baby's dying too."
I said, "My what? Sharon's dying?"
Said, "Sharon's a dying." Said, "They just took her to the hospital, and Doctor Adair said she can't live but just a little bit longer."

L-105 I couldn't stand up. They picked me up. I set in a little old Chevrolet truck. We went out to the hospital. I jumped out of the car, started in.
Nurse said, "Reverend Branham, you can't go down there." Said, "That's... She's got tubercular meningitis. She's caught it from her mother, and it's went to the spine." Said, "You can't go in there on account of the little boy."
And I said, "Nurse, I got to see my baby."
She said, "You can't do it."
When she turned her back, I went in anyhow. And I went down there in the room. And there, flies was in her eyes. Just a little old hospital out there. And I took this little old mosquito bar, what it was, shooed the flies away from her. And I looked down at her. Her little fat legs was moving up and down. Looked like she was waving her little hand.

L-106 I remember when she used to... The wife would put on her the little three corners and set it out there in the yard. And I'd come along that... Just the way I touched that little siren, and she'd know it was me. And she'd just jump and go "Goo, goo, goo." And I'd pick her up in my arms, and she'd love me.
And I seen my baby going. Oh, God, I just couldn't stand it. I thought, "Oh, God, what could I do? What can I do?"
I knelt down, I said, "Heavenly Father, please don't take her. Take me in her stead." I said, "Let me go. You're--You're tearing me to pieces. Let--let me go."
Just then as I raised my eyes up, I seen a dark-like veil floating down through the... I knowed she was going. I raised up and looked down at her, at the bed at her, her little fat arms, waving. It was a spasm like. And I looked at her. Why, she was suffering so hard till her pretty little blue eyes were crossed, one of them was.
