<TITLE>04. Par 10-12</TITLE>L-10 So then, so I--I went down and seen Mr. Hall that day, and--and he was very, very low. I prayed for him again. My wife wanted to see him, and my mother-in-law and my secretary, Brother Cox, he wanted to see him also. So we all got a delegation, went down that night to see him; 'cause we knowed he couldn't last but a little while. And he was almost past speaking to us, yet we all gathered in and had prayer; sang a hymn; and had prayer; and went out. And on the road out, Miss Hall said, "Brother Branham, isn't there one thing you can do?"
I said, "Sister, all I can do is pray just like you're doing." And she's a very fine woman. They'll probably be up here this weekend. I like to hear him testify. And so he--he said, "Isn't there one thing you know? Is there another doctor?"
I said, "Now, doctors are just like anything else. You've got to have confidence in your doctor. If you don't, there's no need of calling him."
She said, "Would you suggest anyone else?"
I said, "Of course, my pal, one of my pals here in the city, is a boy I went to school with, Dr. Sam Adair: one of the best specialists I think the country's got anywhere. And so we're real bosom friends, have been for twenty-five or thirty years. He wrote a letter to the medical association of Louisville the other day about my services. If I'd have made it up myself, or some of my--a--a minister couldn't have made it any nicer and better, that sent it to the medical association in Louisville. There's thousands of them's going out.

L-11 So then, I said, "I'd--I'd like for him to look at him." He said...
She said, "All right."
And I called up Dr. Adair, and I said--He said, "Now, Brother Branham, the only thing we can do is to send the man down to the--the hospital and take x-rays." Said, "That's all I could do." Said, "If--if the doctor's already taken x-rays at the hospital, I'll go read the x-rays." He said, "I'll tell you when I come back, if it's true or not."
Well, I said, "Well, it'd just help her a little."
So he went down and read the x-rays, and he come back, and he said, "Huh..." He--we know one another, I call him "Sam," and he calls me "Billy." So I--he said, "Billy," said, "the man's going to die. He's got cancer in his liver. That's all."
So I said, "Isn't there something you could do to help some way, or some other doctor?" There's a specialist in Louisville, I believe he's Dr. Able, I believe was his name. He has a clinic. So he said, "I could send him over there, but he just...The only thing he could do is take x-rays." Said, "You'd have to get him out of the bed there..." and said, "just might as well leave him easy while he's easy is what he is."

L-12 Well, I went and asked Mrs. Hall. She said, "Well, if anything can be done, take him, Brother Branham." So, well, they sent the ambulance down, picked him up and took him over and doctor in Louisville and they brought him back. 'Course they wouldn't tell Miss Hall. They'd tell the doctor. So, the doctor called Dr. Sam Adair, and said, "The man's gone. That's all." Said, "There's nothing you can do for him."
So Dr. Adair called me up and said, "Billy," said, "your friend Reverend Hall is going to... Here's the expression he made, says, "He's going to jump overboard in the next four days." Said, "He'll be gone within four days; he can't last over that." Said, "That's the news."
I said, "My, Dr. Adair," said, "I hate to hear that."
He said, "Sure, we all do."
I said, "There's nothing you can do in the medical realm for him?"
Said, "Not a thing, Billy." Said, "We can't take the man's liver out and him live." And said, "There's nothing do." Said, "If he's a preacher, I guess he's ready to go?"
I said, "Oh, yes." But he's only about fifty-four or fifty-five years old, and I said, "He could preach the Gospel yet, and so many things he could do; I just hate to see him go that young." I said, "Although I believe he'll step right out of this life into the other, because he's a real Christian."
