<TITLE>12. Par 27-28</TITLE>L-27 So I watched him a little bit. You know? And after while I heard somebody hollering, "Daddy! Daddy!"
I thought, "Where is that?" I looked coming down through the crowd. Now, the Jim Crowe law is in Arkansas: segregation, colored's not allowed with the white. So you know that. So then... And I looked, coming down through there, and there come a young colored girl. She looked to be about in her late teens, very well dressed. And she was just as blind as she could be. Her--her eyes was white with cataracts as my shirt. And she was pushing along like that, hollering, "Daddy! Daddy!" no one noticing her.
Well, I thought, "That poor thing." And I thought, "I--I can--I can do something for her, maybe. And I looked around; I couldn't see the men. They'd never got around that corner yet to where the--the building, so I... It was big great lot in there, way larger than this place in here--about a half a block, city block back there. So I--and I was standing there watching. And she started coming this way, pushing and bumping everybody, excusing herself, and going on hollering, "Daddy! Oh Daddy! Where are you?"
So I just leaned over. It looked kinda...

L-28 Now, you... Now, wait till this is over, 'cause you'll think I was a hypocrite doing this. So I moved over to where I got right in the line; when she'd go this way, I'd stay this way till she bumped into me. And she bumped into me like that. Something told me go over there. And she hit me. She said, "Pardon me."
I said, "Yes, ma'am."
She said, "Daddy!"
I said, "What do you want? Who you calling?"
She said, "Suh," (That's Southern talk. You know?); she said, "Suh, I want my daddy. I can't find him no where." Said, "I--I just don't know who... Nobody will help me."
I said, "Where you from?"
She said, "I's from Memphis." That's about eighty miles. I looked out there at those chartered buses and I seen one said, 'Memphis.'
I said, "What're you doing over here?"
She said, "I come to see the healer."
Said, "The what?" Thought I'd just try her faith. Now, that looks horrible to do that.
And she said, "I come to see the healer." She said, "They tell me this is his last night here, and I can't even get near the building. I lost my daddy. Nobody will help me back to the bus, and I don't know what to do. Will you help me, kind sir?"
And I said, "I want to question you just a minute. You said you come to see who?"
She said, "The healer."
I said, "Do you believe such stuff as that?"
She said, "Yes, suh."
And I thought... Well, that kind of made me feel little... You know? And I said, "Well, what do you... How... You believe he could--he could help you?"
She said, "Yes, suh." She said, "Look, the--the..." She said, "I--I's was a little girl about ten years old. I got cataracts on my eyes. The doctor told me when they got ripe, he would take them out." Now, what 'ripe' means, I don't know. But said, "When they got ripe, he'd take them out." Said, "Now, they ripe, and the doctor says [Brother Branham coughs--Ed.] (Pardon me.) if he would take them out, he'd pull the optical nerves out of my eyes. And I can't never be healed until I go in--in--in the building and see him.
