<TITLE>08. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 I was in Houston the night the picture was taken back there, of the Angel of the Lord. Two days before the picture was taken, Dr. Bosworth came in, said, "Looky here, Brother Branham." He had a picture of the late... granddaughter of the late Florence Nightingale, the noted nurse of England. Her great-great-granddaughter, I believe it was. She was in South Africa, and had a malignant growth over the...?... of the stomach. They had her holding up there, when she wasn't nothing but bones, just eat her up. They stood her up like this, she's almost six foot tall; tall, thin, blond-haired woman. She's standing like that, and her arms about that big around; I believe she weighed forty pounds, or thirty-five pounds, or something. And through her body, here, she had a small clout around her. And when he showed me that... And she was begging. She'd sent a airplane ticket, for me to fly to Africa from there, right quick.

L-30 Sometimes when I go home, there'd be eight or ten tickets laying there from different places. And I'd just get down and pray, and ask the Lord which one to go to. The others, I return. There where the Lord leads me, I try to go. And it's--it's hard, in one way, but it's so sweet. At nighttime, when you lay your head on the pillow, to know you've done your level best to do something for somebody, no matter how much scorn there is to bear and how much cross there is. I think,
 Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
 All the world go free?
 There's a cross for every one,
 And there's a cross for me.
All this isn't a flowery bed of ease, friend. At nighttime, the struggles. And sometimes when demons has been ordered from people, and them fighting, and that person believing, then they'll haunt right back at you at night like that. Better know what you're doing. All right.

L-31 They give me the picture, and Brother Bosworth said, "Brother Branham, I... Here it is, all I can hand it to you." And I--I just had to weep like a baby. I just knelt down the floor and laid the telegram--the papers down there, rather, and the picture. And wife, and my little girl got down over the picture, and we prayed. I said, "Heavenly Father, You know I can't leave here, humanly speaking now, when thousands of people are waiting." I said, "But if You will just touch that poor, dear, dying woman there in Africa and heal her, it'll be a "go" light, for me to go down there, if you'll just touch her and heal her." I said, "I can't do no more about it. Now, I'm willing to leave the meeting, anything you want me to do, Father."
God sometimes does that. You remember Philip? And I committed it to Him, and handed the picture back to Doctor Bosworth. And then I just went on.

L-32 And then King George of England, you all know of him cablegraming me twice to come pray for him. When a man over here at Ft. Wayne was healed with multiple sclerosis, was a friend to his private secretary--been a bed patient ten years. I couldn't go at that time, but I know I'd be in England soon, so I just had prayer for the King.
In the day that we had landed, Brother Baxter and I, the others of the--to the campaign that furnished us to go there by American money. And we landed in E--England, I'll never forget, I said to Brother Baxter, "Brother Baxter," just now maybe I will have a little bit of rest before going into this great strain." 'Cause, we knowed there'd be multiplied thousands waiting in Finland.
