<TITLE>16. Par 32-35</TITLE>L-32 Now, look at little Mary. Here she takes off up into the wilderness, up into the mountains to see Elisabeth her cousin. Jesus and John were half--were second cousins. Mary and Elisabeth were first cousins. And they went up into the mountains, she did, to enjoy the fellowship of her cousin.
That's what we need to do today. Just... The deadest thing in the world is the dead sea, who takes everything in and gives nothing out. Or if we come to a meeting, God fills our soul with glory, we ought to tell fifty people a day, everywhere, every day tell another fifty, another fifty. Give out. That keeps the cistern cleaned out. All right.
Notice. Then up into the mountains they went. And I can see her as she begins to approach. I see the woman run out. She's setting there. Let's dramatize this a little. I can see her setting there, a knitting, you know, or crocheting, or what the women would do in them days. She seen Mary coming; she threw down her crochet and her knitting. Up she went, real quick, grabbed her up in her arms, throwed her arms around her, and kissed her and said, "Oh, Mary, I'm so happy to see you." Love, one for the other, that's all gone about now. Now, isn't that the truth? All gone...

L-33 Why today, you don't even know your neighbor's dead, till you read it in the paper. Isn't that right? I remember when we used to be able to borrow money and everything from the farm, the other farmer. Now you try to do it. You have to have some security. It's a shame.
Love, that's what the world's dying for today, is love. They won't need to be so Orthodox in your teaching. Some fellow, maybe, there wouldn't be two of us in here, agree upon the same thing, but we can agree this: that the love of God's shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Ghost. Let's have love one for another.
Jesus said, "This will all men know that you're My disciples, when you have love one for the other."

L-34 Now, here not long ago, I was down in Florida. I just want to pass this. Mr. Bosworth, many of you know him, old Daddy Bosworth, F. F. Bosworth, held great meetings here years ago. And some of you old mothers and dads remember him in Chicago. And when we were down there, he just... When he first come into my meeting, we was having... I went down there, with a little kid was holding a meeting. They had... He said, "He was just about to go under." So went down and had a meeting, and that night a Duchess come up. I think that's what you call them, one of these women, you know, that's high society.
And so Brother Bosworth said, "Brother Branham, this Duchess that owns this, all this property out here, wants to see you."
I said, "Well, I can't now."

L-35 And so when we passed through the tent that night, back in the little prayer room, here she was standing there. Oh, brother, under-dressed and over-painted, you know. Two great big earrings hanging down, looked like the stirrups for the devil, you know, the saddle setting right between her neck, and riding right down. And there she set there. And she had her a pair of glasses out, she held. I'm not making fun of the woman, but not enough clothes on to wad a good musket shotgun. And there she stood out there with these glasses on a stick like this, you know, holding it out like that. She said, "Are you Dr. Branham?"
I said, "No, ma'am." She said... I said, "I'm Brother Branham."
She said, "Well, I am so charmed to meet you."
