<TITLE>12. Par 43-45</TITLE>L-43 Mr. Kipperman, studio, they went home, taking their pictures home, went down to the studio, the Douglas Studios. So they went down there to--to develop pictures. And this one of them was a Catholic, and he said, "You know, maybe I..." And the day... paper before, oh, my, he said I was a hypnotizer and everything, Mr. Ayers. And he said, "You know, I might be wrong." Said, "That boy's back parents were Catholic. That might be a Divine gift. If it is, that boy's headed for the Catholic church." He said... 'Course they believe all gifts come to the church, but, you know.
So then he said, "Maybe I--I've misjudged the boy." And he went home and he... Mr. Kipperman went upstairs in the studio, and Mr. Ayers put the pictures in to be developed. He said, "Mr. Best will want these pictures tomorrow, so we'll just put them in the acid and get the proofs for him, for tomorrow." So he put them in there, and he set there and smoked a cigarette; he was thinking about it.

L-44 When he went... Mr. Kipperman come down, and when he went to take in the dark room to get the pictures out, the first one he took, Mr. Best, blank; second one, blank; third, blank; fourth, fifth, sixth, every one of them blank. Not a one of them with his poses with his finger in that saintly old man's face, Mr. Bosworth, not a one of them. And when he pulled the next one out, he had a heart attack. There was the Angel of the Lord on the picture. They called for me; and I couldn't come to him.
Immediately at eleven o'clock they rushed it away to--to Washington, DC for copyright, brought it back and sent to--to over to--to California for George J. Lacy. If anybody knows anything about photography, know George J. Lacy is the head of the FBI fingerprint and so forth, best there is in the world. He had it three days in the Shell Building. On the third day he said--said he'd show it to us, and he'd give his... what he thought it was. They went to the room; they done everything. They took the camera, the negative, and everything. He put it under all kind of lights.

L-45 He come out. He's kinda red-headed fellow, very hard-boiled. He walked out. Said, "Whose name's Branham?" There was just about as many setting as there is right in this middle aisle here. I was back towards the back. I said, "Mine."
Said, "Stand up." I stood up. He said, "Mr. Branham," said, "you're going to pass out of this life like all mortals."
I said, "I'm aware of that, sir, but I thank God that Jesus Christ has taken my place in death."
He said, "Come forward." And I walked up. He said, "Rev. Branham, I've heard of your meetings and I said it was psychology, that the people imagined they saw that Light." Said, "I've said the same things." But said, "My mother was an old Christian woman." He said, "But let me tell you, Rev. Branham, that mechanical eye of that camera will not take psychology." He said, "It's a genuine supernatural Being, and the only time in all the world's history that a picture like that was ever taken." He said, "The old hypocrite can never say no more that there's no such a thing as scientific proof of the supernatural Being, for this has been took through every test there is." And said, "I submit it to you."
