<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 Now, in the "Reader's Digest," it was a very nice article. If you haven't gotten it, just write in and tell them you want last November's issue of "Reader's Digest." And now, while I'm saying these things, I--I don't want you to get worked up and walk out; I want you to set and listen at it through, just a few minutes, so you could see how the narrative, how people get, and how--how thin-minded that people can be. I...
In there was a--a--a glorious article. It was well written. Now, you, when you get it, you find a--the subject, "The Miracle of Donny Morton."
I was in Costa Mesa, California, at the time when the--the event taken place. Now, I don't like to testify about my own meeting; I'd rather somebody else would do that; because I haven't done one thing, friends. It's what Jesus Christ has did in--in the meeting that... It isn't me.
I've always thought in the writing of the Acts of the Apostles, it's called, "The Acts of the Apostles." I would--to my opinion now, the writers of the Bible, ever who put it together--the early writers, they called it, "The Acts of the Apostles." But I think what it really is, is the, "Acts of the Holy Spirit in the Apostles," is what it is. See? They act... The apostles never acted it. There's a Holy Spirit acting in the apostles, what did it. But a... Called that, so we just leave it that.

L-5 Now, the "Reader's Digest" writes it like this. And it's a most dramatic story and heart-rendering story that you've read in a long time, to hear how this story starts. It was up--up--way up in Saskatchewan, Canada, almost up into the no-man's-land. I had meetings up around Saskatoon and from there, all--way on up into the... Why, I forget the name of the place we had up there: had ten thousand Indians and the Eskimos in--in the--in the meeting. And a--oh, a place was many times bigger than this and just packed out; they was just setting everywhere and standing on the outside: of Eskimos and Indians that came to the meeting. And white people... Prince Albert, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and a--so I remember having the meeting there.
Anyhow, in there was two deaf and dumb people that had been--come down from over around another province and were born deaf and dumb. And both of them were healed and went back into their province a speaking and hearing.

L-6 And so the little Donny Morton, he'd set up some kind of a rare brain disease. And the--the people of the--had taken him to be examined, and everywhere, and they'd give him up. They brought the boy to--to my service. Now first, the doctor said the little boy must die. Mayos, Johns Hopkins... They had him in the United States. Everything give him up; there's no operation. Said it'd be impossible: if you operated on the boy's head for that, it would kill him instantly: Mayo Brothers.
Now, of course the "Reader's Digest" didn't say Mayo Brothers, because Mayo's would get after them for that. You have to watch what you're putting in public literature. And so there's... But you can read between the lines and see what it meant, see what it said.

L-7 But we have the tape recording. That's the reason on our meetings... You see, we pick up tapes of every meeting. Somebody comes and says, "Well, the Lord said to me, "Certain--certain..." We'll play back over the record and find out whether that's truth or not." See? Then we know right where we got it (See?), on the recording.
So, there's a woman come to me here some time ago and said, "Why, the Lord said a certain woman was going to be healed right then."
I said, "Well, if He said that, that's just..."
Said, "She hasn't been healed yet."
I said, "Well, I don't know."
Brother Hall was talking to her, so he said, "We'll play the recording." Asked what night it was, went back and got the recording and played... Well, the Lord never said anything about it.
