<TITLE>08. Par 24-25</TITLE>L-24 And Mr. Kipperman and them on the road home to the studios, they said, "Well, what do you think about that?"
And Mr. Kipperman said, "I don't know."
And Mr. Ayers said, "Well, being a Catholic," he said, "I believe that there is such things. But it can only be done through the Catholic church." And said, "The boy, being an Irishman," said, "maybe his people before him was Catholic." Said, "Maybe it is. And if it is, he'll finally wind back to the Catholic church." And they were talking, so they went on down. So they said...
Well they--Mister--they must put these pictures in of Mr. Best to get a--to get the--for--for the next day 'cause he wanted the glossies. So they just put them in the acid, and the boys set there and smoked a cigarette. One of them went upstairs for something; and, I believe, laid down on a cot, fell asleep. And the other one, he went in to pull the negatives out--from the dark room, out of the acid. And when he pulled out the first one of Mr. Bos--with that minister with his finger pointing in that saintly old man's face, it was negative. And the next one was a blank, and the next one, and all six of them was a blank. And when he pulled out the next one that he shot, there was not only my picture, but there was the Angel of the Lord standing there. See? The man had a heart attack.

L-25 They come up to the Rice Hotel, but they had two men stand at the door and wouldn't let them in. That night, eleven o'clock it was flown away to Washington, DC on a copyright by the American Photographers Association. They had taken the pictures many time newspapers and so forth, but they wouldn't receive that; this was official. So then they brought it.
And how many ever heard of George J Lacy? He's the best that there is in FBI on fingerprint and researches in California at the time, and they brought him to Houston, Texas, for a research to touch--to find that. He took the camera; he took everything. He took the film he--he took everything, went to the thea--stadium and everything to check it all over and everything. Had it three days and nights under violet ray lights and everything else, he kept it.
And on the afternoon of the fourth day he called and said, "Now, I'll give the analysis of what about the picture. All of us come in. There set the newspapers and so forth. I was setting way back about half as many people was in this aisle here." He said... He come out, he's kind of a red headed fellow. He said, "Whose name is Reverend Branham?"
I said, "Mine, sir."
He said, "Stand up." I stood up. He said, "Reverend Branham, you're going to pass out of this life like all mortals."
I said, "I know that, sir. But thanks be to God, I'm prepared for that hour."
And he said, "Would you come forward?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "I submit this to you." He said, "Reverend Branham, I've been one of your critics." He said, "I've said that was psychology, the people saying they seen that--and that Light and that Pillar of Fire and so forth." Said, "They--they... I said it was psychology. I've heard of others taken it, and I said it was psychology." He said, "But, Reverend Branham, the mechanical eye of that camera will not take psychology." He said, "The Light struck the lens." And he said, "It's the first time in all the world's history that ever a supernatural Being was ever photographed." He said, "The old hypocrite (which he meant the unbeliever) has said there's no scientific proof that there is a s--a supernatural Being." But said, "That can't be said no more." Said, "But here's a scientific picture to prove that there is a supernatural Being." And one of them hangs in the Religious Hall of Art in Washington, DC dedicated to the place. The picture's under copyright, the studios have sold thousands of them.
