<TITLE>05. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 And anybody here know Will Hall from Milltown, Indiana? Reverend Will Hall... Raise up your hand. Sure, there's people setting here that know him. See? And so he--he's a very fine man. So I said, "Well, you say he's going to die?"
He said, "Without a doubt, Billly." Said, "He'll be dead within four days." Said the cancer is spread; looks like a big spider setting right in the--in his liver and just spread out like that." Said, "It's already take--eat him up."
I said, "Well, all right. Thank you, Dr. Adair." And I--I went down. I called Mrs. Hall. I said, "Sister Hall, I hate to tell you this," but I said, "Dr. Adair said the doctor in Louisville said he'd be dead within four days." And she started crying, leaned over on my--just an old mother-like... And I said, "Sister Hall, I hate to tell you."
"Is... Brother Branham, isn't there one thing that you..."
I said, "Sister Hall, I--I've done all I know to do. Just--just pray, that's all I can do. The doctor's done all he can do, so if it's the man's time to go, our dear brother will cross right through the veil into glory." and I said, "That's all we can do."
Well, she was very sad. That night I took the family and went down again to see him again. He could just barely talk to me.

L-14 And I was born in the state of Kentucky, and is there any people around here believes in squirrel hunting? Let's see your hands. Well, that--that's all right now. I just wanted to know if I was home or not. I--I like to go squirrel hunting sometimes. I come up, you got a good woods around here. So I, thought the next morning that I had to go to Erie, Pennsylvania, and then we was coming back, and we was going overseas. I was to be gone, Brother Baxter and I, the group, for about six weeks.
So, there's so many people crammed and jammed in the house, and so forth, I was just about worn out and just coming from California too. And Brother Baxter had done went through and got his family in Vancouver and was going to meet me in--up in Ohio, Toledo, and then go on over into Erie. And there's probably people was at that meeting up there, that's here tonight. And so then, there was...
I went and I told--next morning, I said, now--to my wife, I said, "Honey, I'm going to go out and go in the woods. I doubt whether I can get squirrel hunt 'cause I'm so sleepy." We got the house empty about twelve or twelve-thirty. And I went and got my little old .22 rifle and set it down and my old overalls, and I rolled them up in the corner so that... I had set the clock to alarm at three o'clock so I could get up and go squirrel hunting; get away in the woods, maybe, till it--after a day, then I could go to sleep and rest a little 'fore going up into the next meeting.

L-15 And about three o'clock the clock alarmed, and I--I woke up and turned it off. Poor wife was sleeping so sound it never even moved her. So I got up and pulled on my overalls, and went to the den room, looked out the window--nobody out there. I thought, "Well, it's all right then, I--must be all right for me to go." So I got my little old rifle, and started through the room to go towards the bath, and when I--I did, I looked, hanging here on--by the wall, a little old apple about that big around that was all (You know what a knotty apple, we call, all you Hoosiers, here You see?)--all worm eaten and sour looking; just a little bitty fellow about like that, very faulty looking, hanging there. And I said, "Well, what did--what did Meda..." (That's my wife). I said, "What did she hang that thing on the wall for?"
