<TITLE>07. Par 16-16</TITLE>L-16 Then Mr. Daugherty, the old father of Reverend Daugherty, come to the door, and he said, "Brother Branham, have you heard anything yet?" And young Mr. Daugherty was coming around the house.
I said, "Yes, I have THUS SAITH THE LORD." He begin screaming and throwing up his hands. And I said... He was somewhere from... Their home was--had been up in Kentucky, but they'd moved up into St. Louis where he was sent by his church, I think, to take a charge there.
