<TITLE>14. Par 50-52</TITLE>L-50 Just one little incident happened right here in your neighborhood... I'm going to tell this before I close. Look. One day I was coming from Dallas, Texas (I come pretty near of coming through Jonesboro), and a big storm forced the plane down, and I landed in--in over here at the Memphis, Tennessee. I was on my road home, so they put us up down there in that big, fine hotel, Peabody. That's right, Peabody. I... (Oh, I see who you are.) I--I didn't know who the lady was. All right, the Peabody Hotel. Now, I couldn't afford to stay in a hotel like that. They put me up there, the airline.
And they told me they'd call me the next morning. And the next morning, early, I got up, and the sun was ready to come up. And I--I had wrote some letters, and I'd thought I'd run down at the post office real quick or find some place to mail it. And I got out of the hotel and started walking down the street. And I was walking down the street singing that little Pentecostal song you all sing:
There are people almost everywhere,
Whose hearts are all aflame,
With the fire that fell on Pentecost,
That cleansed and made them clean;
It's burning now within my heart.
Oh, glory to His Name!
I'm glad that I can say I'm one of them.

L-51 You remember the little song? And so, I was going along humming that little song. I thought, "Now, I just about got it." I thought:
They were gathered in the upper room,
All praying in His Name,
They were baptized with the Holy Ghost,
And power for service came;
What He did for them that day,
He will do for you the same,
I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
I had my letters in my hand, and I was just a stepping down the street. I started across the street, and when I did, Something said, "Stop." I started... "Stop." It was Him. I thought, "Well...
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] And I walked and I walked. I was going to ask somebody where the post office was. And I just kept walking, walked right on by the hotel. I just--I just kept walking. I didn't know where I was going, just kept on walking, walking, walking, walking.

L-52 After while, I come plumb back out into a colored district. Why, the sun was way up. The plane was going to leave about eight o'clock. So I knowed I was late, and I kept looking at my watch. He just kept saying, "Walk on." I just kept walking, and I kept on till I come way down in some little place near the river or something another. There was a lot of colored shacks along there, where colored people lived in shacks, rather.
And I was going along there. And there was a beautiful... It was early in spring. The--the sun was just shining down. The sweet smell of roses around the door, you know, was blooming up. And I was walking along there and I was singing, and humming in my heart going, [Brother Branham hums "Only Believe"--Ed.] 
Only believe, all things are possible.
I said, "Lord, my plane's going to leave.
Only believe. Only believe, only believe...
And just walk on. And I thought,
All things are possible,
Only believe.
I thought, "Where does He want me to go?" [Brother Branham hums the song] I'd been walking for, oh, fifteen, twenty minutes. And I just kept on walking.
Only believe...?...
