<TITLE>13. Par 29-31</TITLE>L-29 I said, "Well, woman, do you believe any such stuff as that, in the days that we got these fine doctors and medical science and things, and do you believe that that story about that Angel appearing to that man is the truth?"
She said, "Yes, suh."
And I said... Now, she couldn't see me, 'cause she's totally blind. And I said--I said, "How'd you ever hear about this?"
She said, "On the radio this morning, I heard a man testifying, had been blind." So that was the man from ten years, up there. Said, "I heard him testify and heard him read the Bible." And she said, "Sir, that's the only hope I have to ever see."
And I said, "Do you mean you believe such?"
She said, "Listen, sir, is there any way that you could get me to where he's at?" Said, "If you'll get me where he's at, I'll find my daddy after that." Oh, my. That--that was too much for me. "I'll find my daddy if I can get in there." Expectancy, if she could ever get where God was moving, something's going to happen.

L-30 I thought of that of that blind man, this mor--that morning. Then I thought of old blind Fanny Crosby:
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou are calling,
Do not pass me by.
Thou the Stream of all my comfort,
More than life to me,

L-31 I thought, "That poor, blind Ethiopian girl, standing there, how she was trying..." If one blind man could receive his sight, why couldn't she? And there I felt sorry for her. I said, "Look; be real quiet now, will you?"
And she said, "Yes, suh. Will you go take me in?"
And I said, "Just a moment now. Now, nobody knows we're talking." I said, "Do you want to... Who'd do you say you want to see?"
She said, "The healer."
I said, "Look. Do you mean, you want to see Brother Branham?"
She said, "That's him."
I said, "I am Brother Branham." Said.... And she grabbed me like that, and--and she said... I said, "Look, turn me loose. Turn..."
"Oh, no. No, no." She held me like that. Said, "No." She said, "Is--is--is--is you the healer?"
I said, "No, I'm Brother Branham. Jesus is the Healer."
She said, "Well, you--you--you's the man that prayed for that man that got... Oh..." She said, "Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord," just holding me like that, right by the lapels of the coat.
I said, "Look, lady, I want to take ahold of your hand," but there's no way of doing that. I couldn't pry her hands loose. I'd pull like that, and she'd pull my coat. And--and I--I didn't want to attract attention, so I just got ahold of her hands like this and held them. I said, "Now, you bow your head and don't--don't say nothing. Keep quiet." See? I said, "'Cause the people will push in here, and then I won't be able to pray for you."
And she said, "I hear you. I hear you."
And I said, "Now, bow your head and you believe that Jesus is going to give you your sight?
She said, "I know He is now."
