<TITLE>14. Par 41-43</TITLE>L-41 Then friends, that morning... I've been into king's palaces; I've been in aristocrats homes where they're worth as many as twenty-eight million dollars or more, and I've been in the poorest. But I never was any welcome than I was in that little old whitewashed cabin that morning, when the sun coming up across the hill there, kissing away the sweetness of the fragrance of the roses as they was blooming. An old chain hanging at the gate, and a plow horn hanging down on the end of it for a weight.
I walked into that little old house, there with a little old brass looking poster bed, a little iron bed stood--standing in the corner, a straw tick on it for a mattress, and up over the door it said, "God bless our home." An old wash tub setting in the kitchen, but it was home.
I looked, laying there on the bed, a great big colored boy, strong looking, with the blankets in his hand going, "Umm, umm, umm, it's so dark, umm."
I said, "What's the matter with him, Auntie?"
Said, "Parson, he thinks he's out in a...?... sea," said, "he's been lost the last two days." Said, "He's lost and he thinks it's..."
He said, "It's so cold out here, umm."
I said, "Auntie, let's just pray."
She knelt down, and that old saint prayed a prayer; brother, I'm telling you: I just knelt at the foot of the bed and tears just spat on the floor. She raised up, took her old apron, and wiped her eyes. Said, "Lord, don't let him die, Lord; till I hear his little boy tell his mammy that him saved."

L-42 I felt his feet, they were cold, sticky, death was on the boy, had syphilis: went through him, nothing. They give him Salvarsan, 606, mercury, and everything else, penicillin, nothing could stop it; it gone on. Got out with the wrong crowd.
Then I knelt down; I said, "Auntie, let's pray." And I got down to pray; and I said, "Heavenly Father, that plane's hour past now, or more." I said, "But You said turn and come this way, and You said, 'They that are sons of God are led by the Spirit of God.' I don't know, Father, why You sent me down here. That'll be explained another day, but somehow, I believe this is the place You were leading me, the way it's been brought around. You showed her me coming and had me coming this a way." I said, "The only thing I know, Lord; I lay my hand on this dying man in the Name of Your Son, Christ Jesus, please spare his life."
When I said that, he hollered, "Oh, mammy," said, "It's getting light in the room now."

L-43 A few minutes he was setting on the side of the bed, talking to us in his right mind. About six months later I passed through on a train, going down in Arizona on a train. I passed... I got out there at Memphis, was going up to get something to eat there. The little railroad station, if any of you was--had been there, you know how the train goes straight ahead, and the railroad station's across the front. And I heard somebody holler, "Oh, Parson Branham."
And I looked, and here he come; he was one of the Redcaps there. He come running, grabbed my hand, jumped around and around, and said, "Parson Branham, you remember me?"
I said, "I don't believe I do."
Said, "One morning the Holy Spirit led you down to my mammy's cabin," Said, "where I was dying." He said, "Parson Branham, I's not only well, but I's saved now. I's a Christian, Parson Branham."
