<TITLE>08. Par 28-31</TITLE>L-28 Now, notice this. And then Brother... Second day he said, "It shows that... what kind of a something they're made out of, paid ad in the paper, showed what they're made out of. They're afraid to--to examine their Divine healing by the Light of the Word of God."
So then, Mr. Bosworth come, said, "Brother Branham, for our prestige before the people you've got to take it up."
I said, "Brother Bosworth, there's about eight thousand people there. There's about seven thousand of them to be prayed for." I said, "I got two more days to stay here in Houston. Why fool with that crank when we can go over here and be praying for the sick people?" I said, "I don't fool with it."
He said, "Brother Branham, let me do it."
And I thought, "Seventy-five years old." I thought of Caleb, when he said, "I'm eighty today, and I'm just as good a man as I was when Joshua put the sword in my hand." I--I admired the old man.
I said, "Well, Brother Bosworth, I admire you, brother."
He said, "That man hasn't got one leg to stand on or one Scripture." He said, "Let me prove it to him."
And I said, "If you promise me that you won't fuss."
He said, "I promise you, I won't fuss."
I said, "All right."

L-29 So then he goes down. They wouldn't let the reporters stay in the Rice Hotel. They wouldn't let the reporters come to the door. So he went down and seen the reporters. He said, "Brother Branham won't fuss with them." I said... But he said, "I will--I will stand it."
So then, of course, the "Houston Chronicle," great big headlines: "Ecclesiastical Fur Will Fly," you know. So that just set the debate. And that's where it comes to show to me that all you Pentecostal groups of people who fuss about your little doctrines and things, some of these days that'll be shook out of you. That's right. You're one big Church, brother. That's right. Your little points don't mean nothing in the sight of God. You're one big Church of God.

L-30 Notice. Then they didn't care whether they was riding a one humped camel, or two humped camel, or a three humped camel, or the fourth rain, fifth rain, latter rain, middle rain, or what rain it was. They were one thing. They believed in Divine healing, and they all run together in that big coliseum, about thirty-thousand packed out. They come in airplanes from everywhere and everything, drove in, and taken all night, at a time. What was it? The thing that their Lord had taught was at stake and they was ready to stand their grounds.
There it was. It went on the associated press. And people flew in from way in the east and way in the west and everywhere. They packed that big coliseum out.

L-31 And that night my brother said, "Now, you're not going down."
I said, "I know it. I don't want to go down there." So, Sire Ramsar was leading the singing. But when it come time to go, Something just told me to go down there anyhow. So I took my coat and pulled it up over my shoulders like this, over my head; went down, wife and I, and we went way up. I went up in balcony thirty, if you've ever been in the San Houston coliseum. I was way up like this. Nobody knowed I was up there but the two police that took me up, my wife and my--my brother. And we were sitting up there.
