L-1 Thank you Brother Baxter. Good evening friends. Very happy to be here this evening to represent again our dear Lord Jesus. I want to compliment you on that song, as I was coming up, as you were singing it. My boy went up to the top of the steps and come back down, said, "Do you hear that?" That was very beautiful singing. I've always said, "I love singing so well, when you ever get to heaven, and when they're sing--where there's singing at, that's where I will be." I like to hear it.
I used to say in my church to my people, I would say, over at the... I believe I had a little mystic thing I was telling them, I said, "The river of Life is coming down from the throne of God, it makes a bend down here," I said, "over on this side of the hill the great angelic choir, great singers of all ages are singing there day and night." I said, "Over on this other side there's a little tree, and I'll be setting under that little tree listening when you want to find me." I was just, merely just something that I'd say to my--my church. Whether it'll be that way or not, I do not know, but whatever it'll be, it'll be glorious as long as Jesus is there; it'll be--it'll be glorious.

L-2 Tomorrow afternoon the brother was telling me, I was to speak at two-thirty, I believe tomorrow afternoon. And then tomorrow night is our closing service. We trust that it'll be a great thing to all of you, that God will help you and bless you each one. And I--I just know He will. I'm just trusting Him. Remember, this is one of my last American meetings. And so I'm just believing God, that it's going to be a great thing.
And the first time I ever had a service here in Pennsylvania, I met some friends this morning was telling me about Brother Roberts, another brother that prays for the sick. I remember him setting on the line, side line; he watched the work. He came to me, said, "Brother Branham, you think God will do that for me?"
I said, "What do you mean, Brother Roberts?"
He said, "Answer prayer."
I said, "He will for anybody." That's right.

L-3 And then Brother Osborn's been here. Many of you know Brother Osborn, just love that boy. He was in my meeting the night over in, I believe at--at Portland, Oregon, when that maniac run to the platform, about nearly three hundred pound man, just out of an insane institution. He just hated preachers. He'd hit a man the day before. They was after him, the law was. He broke his collar bone, his jaw, and knocked him out on the street. And he dodged the law, and then he come in. There's five thousand, five hundred there that night. And I just walked to the platform, and I was just standing there speaking on believe. And all at once somebody come running up through the platform, running up to the platform; there's was about three hundred ministers setting in the back and they all knew the man. And he had a gray suit on, a huge man. And he come running up, just stomping like that, real fast. And I could detect there was something wrong. But I never...
You know the first thing is the Word of God; that's first. That's where everything should be reverent, when that Word is going forth. And then he ran to the platform; he said, "You hypocrite," said, "you snake in the grass." He said, "I'll show how much man of God you are," said, "I'll break every bone in your body."
