<TITLE>11. Par 31-34</TITLE>L-31 He turned around a little bit, pulled his hat down, tears running down over his red beard. Turned around and said, "God's able of these stones to rise children to Abraham."
Started to walk away, I caught him by the arm. I said, "Just a minute. You believe He was the Christ?"
He said, "Looky here, preacher. You see that sign that says, "Israel," across there?"
I said, "Yes."
He said, "I make a good living there."
I said, "And knowing the truth and yet would sacrifice?"
He said, "If I wasn't there, I'd be out there on the street begging."
I said, "I'd rather be laying on my stomach, drinking branch water, and eating soda crackers, and tell the truth, than to have fried chicken three times a day and stay behind a lie." Right.
He said, "I'll see you some other time," ducked his head and run.

L-32 Now, John's still preaching Divine healing tonight. And in that meeting down there, he'd been healed. And how God was pouring out His blessings. And I remember, my wife come down to see me. And there was about four city blocks up, the people were ready for a revival. They were standing, and my wife said, "You don't mean all those people come to hear you preach."
I said, "No, they come to learn of Jesus."
I don't know where she ever went that night. Four men come took me in. I got into the pulpit. And I happened to look and oh, it was half as deep as this place is here with just ambulances, and chairs, and stretchers laying. I was speaking to them. The little girl here, just coming in... her faith. She was a tubercular. She had two nurses setting by her.

L-33 Someone motioned over there. He had a suit like a chauffeur. And I knew he was a ambulance driver, supposing. And he had about sixteen or eighteen ambulances lined up outside. And I went over there to see what... I asked him what he wanted.
He said, "Preacher," said, "the house doctor isn't here." And said, "I think my patient's died. Would you come to her?" Four men got around us and we went out there. And I got in there. A very typical old Arkansas dad, down on his knees, hat sewed up with twine cord, shirt with a patch up on top of a patch, soles of his shoes out when he was kneeling down, hat rolled up in his hand, screaming to God to let his wife speak to him one more time.
There laid the patient. Now, they claimed she was dead. I couldn't say. I don't know. But I got in and they... And the driver said, "Here's Brother Branham."

L-34 Thousand or two people was pressed against--from between the auditorium and where the stretchers was--or where the ambulance was. And when I got in there, I looked at him; I said, "What's the matter, dad?"
He said, "Are you Brother Branham?"
I said, "Yes." There'd been a man from Kennett, Missouri, had been healed that night--the night before that, rather, with blind... had been blind for... had been drawing a blind pension for ten, twelve years.
And the next day, he went up through the city. He run into the Methodist church with his hat on a cane, his blind cane, praising God, screaming till they had to put him out. He run down at the Catholic church, and they put him out. And he was hanging over the back of the--a man's shoulders with a cane on his... rolling around like that, just a praising God, as they throwed him out of the church.
Well, he about tore the town up, up there, the way he was going on. Been blind for ten years and received his sight, well, sure. I would be too, wouldn't you? Certainly.
