<TITLE>16. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 I said, "Oh, Doc Dillman, I hate to hear that." Said, "Yes, we took him up to a specialist in New Albany, put him under x-ray, and took x-ray. There's a big cancer setting right in his liver." Said, "He's just going die, that's all."
So I went down the next day to see him; I prayed again for him. Went down to see him, and... Well, he's just getting so low; he couldn't hardly breathe. So Mrs. Hall followed me out; she said, "Brother Branham, isn't there one thing you can do?"
I said, "Sister Hall, no. Only thing I can do is pray." I...
She said, "Do you know another doctor?"
I said, 'course, every person for their doctors. I said, "I've got a doctor friends, lives next door to me there, a couple door from me." I said, "He's a bosom friend of mine. As a doctor, I think he's fine." I said, "We're bosom friends."
I got a letter coming; he's writing to the Medical Association of America about the services. See? And so, he... I said, "I'd like for him to see him."
I called up Dr. Sam Adair, and I said, "Dr. would you go down and see--and see, Mr. Hall?"
He said, "Well, Billy, I'll just go to the hospital and read the x-rays." Said, "That's all I can do. Look in."
So he went down and read the x-rays. He come back, said, "The man's got cancer of liver, Billy; he's going to die."
I said, "Oh, my. Isn't there some specialist or something you can do to console that woman?"

L-40 He said, "Well, I might send him over to the Dr. Able in Louisville, and he's one of the best specialist there is, nearly in the south country."
So they got an ambulance, and went out and picked Mr. Hall up, Rev. Hall from Milltown Baptist church, took him over to Louisville. Dr. Able examined him; he come back, and he wouldn't tell Mrs. Hall. So he called Dr. Adair, and told Dr. Adair, and Dr. called me. He said, "Billy?"
I said, "Yes."
Said, "You know your friend, Hall?"
I said, "Yes."
Said, "He's going to jump overboard in four days."
I said, "Oh, my, I hate to hear that."
Said, "Well, he ought to be ready to go, if he's a preacher."

L-41 And I said, "Well, of course, that's all right." I said, "He's ready to go, but I hate to see him go; he's fairly young man, yet, about fifty-five, fifty-eight years old." I said, "He's good preacher; I hate to see him go."
Said, "Well, we all hate to go Billy, but we got to go." Said, "That man will be gone in four days."
I said, "Well..." And I went out, I called Sister Hall out, and I said, "Sister Hall, Dr. Adair said, 'Abel said, he will be gone in four days.'" And she started screaming. And she's just like an old mother to me.

L-42 And I said, "Look, Sister Hall. He--he--he--he's a Christian. He's only going to drop out of this old body of flesh to go yonder to be with Christ, my, how much better. He's got to go sometime anyhow."
She said, "Well, can't you ask God, is there a vision anywhere?"
I said, "He's never said a word to me."
Well, the next morning... I went home that night, and there's a big bunch of cars, up-and-down the lane. Now, after I got as many prayed for as I could, the next morning, say, I've never got converted from squirrel hunting, so I like to go squirrel hunting yet. So I--I had an old rifle, and I picked it up, set it out in the room, and I said, "Now, in the morning, at four o'clock, I'm going to set the clock alarm; I'm going squirrel hunting to get one day's rest anyhow before I go up there and come back, and got to go to Africa for all those meetings."
