<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 But what is it? It's people longing. Every man longs to see beyond the--the curtain. In the early centuries when the king of England, when they got their name... They were first called "Angle land," because they were white-looking people and long blond hair. They were... The king was... just before his baptism, he was setting in a--a place one night, where there was a big fire burning. And a little bird flew into the firelight and flew back out. He said, "Where did he come from and where did he go?"
That's like human beings. Where did he come from? Where did he go? We come into the world; we leave. And any man that can find anything that'll declare something to him behind the veil that every person has to pass through, is interesting in knowing something about it.

L-14 Not long ago, a great Presbyterian minister was asking a brother, on the west coast, said, "We used to have a great... churches up-and-down the west coast but the Christian Science broke them up."
The brother turned and said, "If you would have stayed in the will of God, it wouldn't have been any need of Christian Science." That's correct.
The Church goes to letting down and getting away from the phenomenal, and a man is still a man. He's--he's a supernatural being, and he's looking for a supernatural God that does supernatural things.
I just returned from California, where Congressman Upshaw... Many of you has heard of his healing, I'm sure. I saw in a vision a man playing, a little boy on a haystack, and so forth. You've heard--read the vision. He'd been an invalid for some sixty-six years. And he was healed instantly while setting back in the rows in a chair. The Lord Jesus came, showed the vision, told him just what had taken place, told him to rise up, he was well. He obeyed and he was well until the day he left the world.
Years later, not with... Cripple didn't kill him. He just got... He was going, nearly ninety years old, so he just died from old age.

L-15 I come home; my wife said to me; she said, "Billy, I've got bad news to tell you." Said, "Your good friend William Hall (which was one of my converts in the Milltown Baptist church) is dying with cancer."
I said, "Surely not Brother Hall?"
"Yes." Said, "Dr. Dillman of Corydon has told him that he can't live no longer; he's dying." Said, "He brought him up to New Albany. He's out here with some of his peoples now, dying."
I went to see him that night. He'd lost some fifty pounds, real yellow all over. The cancer was in the liver, a very seriously. I had prayer for him the next day. I went back, and he was still worse. I had prayer for him again that evening. I went back and he was almost gone. I had prayer for him again.

L-16 Mrs. Hall, which is a good friend of mine (I've lived in their home), she said, "Brother Billy, is there anything that you can do?"
I said, "Only thing I can do, Sister Hall, is ask God."
She said, "Well, is there any... you know of any medical?"
I said, "Well, now look, doctors are just like ministers or anything else. You have to have confidence in them." I said, "Of course, my little friend Dr. Adair here, we was school boys together. And we've always been very close friends. I think as far as medical science, he's the tops."
Said, "Wonder if he'd come down and see Mr. Hall?"
I said, "I'll ask him."
