<TITLE>05. Par 31-35</TITLE>L-31 "But you let me go back in Africa, to the wildest tribe they got, and that's the little tribe of the bushman." And I said, "Probably his great-great-great-great-grandfather never saw a white man nor nothing. The only thing that he knows, he don't even know which is right and left hand. The only thing he knows is eat, and he eats what he can get his hands on, if it's human flesh, anything else, don't make any difference to him, just so he eats. But let me get him at five years old, and at fifteen years old he will speak good English and have a good education. Why? He's got a soul. God made him a human being, and he's got just as much right to hear the Gospel at least once, as we have of preaching around here all over America, to people over and over and over, and begging, persuading and everything. Let him hear it one time, and watch him scream and run to the altar real quick." See? Yes, sir.

L-32 And that's what my heart is, brother, today, when I think of Africa, and them poor little black hands raising up, saying, "Brother Branham, one more time about Jesus." Oh, mercy. There's something in me digs and burns. Just as quick as I get money enough up, I get over there too; that's what I do with every penny I get, everything, God knows, besides just what I can eat. And most people give me my clothes. And just what I can barely live by myself, just as close as I can, I throw it right into a missionary funds which the government has arranged; I don't even pay income tax on it. Till I get up three or four, five thousand dollars, and I take across over there and preach the Gospel to the people that I know at that day I'll have to answer. And I'll know what I answer for.

L-33 I used to, when I'd go in a city, I'd hold a big meeting back when they had lots of money, and they have great campaigns and thousands of dollars, I'd give it over to Red Cross and so forth. Now, now, nothing, no slam to them, but coming down the street in a four-thousand-dollar car with a big diamond studs on, smoking a cigar, and five hundred dollars a week on the money that sick people... No, sir. No indeedy. And on these, and as soon as you get out of the city, they said, "a holy-rollers" and everything like that, and making fun, and downing the religion that we're standing up for... No, sir.

L-34 I take it myself, and before God as my Judge, I put it in the Gospel work yonder, so I know that on that day that I'll--when I will have to give an account for my stewardship, it's given correctly. That's exactly right, 'cause I realize as I treat the people I'm treating God. Just my attitude towards you is my attitude towards Christ. And your attitude towards me is the same thing (That's right.), towards Christ.

L-35 Now, to see a people like that, and see how that a human being then with an immortal soul now that can't die, can't perish, can't do nothing but have Everlasting Life, that God sovereignly in His Own will gave it to you. And now, then... now I...
Oh, let me correct this just a little bit, or say something. Somebody's going to go away and say, "Brother Branham is a Calvinist." No, I'm not. I'm a Calvinist as long as Calvinist is in the Bible. But when Calvinist gets out of the Bible, then I'm an Arminian. See? I believe in holiness and I believe in Calvinist too; but both of them, one run out on a limb and went this way, and one run out on a limb and went that way. If it wasn't for the Book of Ephesians to bring it back and put it in the right place where God did, we'd all be all mixed up. But they both got a doctrine, but they go to seed on it, each one; that's the holiness and the Calvinists too, the Arminian. Now, Calvinists have something true. I believe that, that the Calvinistic doctrine...
