<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 Not long ago, I was... used to pastor a little Milltown Baptist church over here in Indiana. I was standing with an old man named George Wright. I'd come home of a night, and I noticed out in the corner there was a... When I'd come in about ten o'clock, and there was a... Way in the country, and in warm summertime, there's an old nightingale used to set out there, and how he would sing. My, my.
You know, birds are happy. You never see one of them though with a great, drawed-down look like we have, do you? You never... Little bird gets up real early of a morning and just sings, and throws his head up, and just sings to the glory of God. You never heard of one of them having high blood pressure, did you? Or having to be operated on? He just glorifies his Maker. That's all. But we wander around sometime.

L-9 And this little old nightingale, he would just sing, and sing, and carry on. And I thought, "Well, what makes him sing like that all through the night?" And I noticed on a cloudy night, he would sing, and then he would stop, and then he would sing, and then he would stop. And I got to studying the life of the nightingale. So the nightingale, what he does, he looks heavenly all--heavenward always. And when he could see a star, or any kind of a light, he will start singing, because that he knows the sun's shining somewhere to shine on that star.
Well, that's what I think about a good, old fashion Holy Ghost meeting. When I can hear a good old hearty "Amen," once in a while, or a "Hallelujah," or somebody jump up and scream and cry a little bit, I know the Son's shining somewhere. That's all. It just kind of gives you just a real good feeling of that type.
In these meetings... Someone said not long ago, they had wrote me a little letter and said, "Brother Branham, God raised Brother Roberts up to take your place."
I said, "Well, I'm glad somebody is in the work."

L-10 He said, "Because that you don't pray for not enough people." He said, "You're... People come to your meeting, and they feel that--that they never get prayed for. You just get a few up on the platform, and after while, you're all sapped out, and they take you out. You're... Haul you around a half hour to come to yourself." Said, "They never get prayed for. You--you can't get to them."
Well, that's the truth. That's exactly. But, you see... He said, "Brother Roberts will pray for five hundred, while you're praying for two." That's right. But Brother Roberts is doing what God told him to do, and I'm doing what God told me to do. See? That--that's just the difference. See, see? So, we... I can't be Brother Roberts; Brother Roberts can't be me. We're... Who... either one of us servants of the Lord (That's right.) trying to minister to the people, do the best that we know how for the glory of God.
And so, Brother Roberts has one way of... God give him a way of just a real, strong, predominating, if you excuse the expression, "bulldog faith." He just stands up there and grips a hold of it, and he believes for anything. And he... Somebody comes up that's got demon possession or something or another, or cancer, or tumor, he will stomp his feet, and scream out, and nothing else, scare it away. He--he gets the job done though. That's all right. People are getting healed, so I say, "Praise the Lord." Sure.
