<TITLE>08. Par 30-32</TITLE>L-30 I was in Arkansas recently, some...?... recently, some time ago. Many of you here are from Arkansas. This was when I was at Jonesboro: Was twenty-eight thousand people, the paper said, was in the meeting. And I told people, just bring their handkerchiefs and let me pray over them; you put them in your Bible. If you ever need them, why, all right.
There's a little woman took one and put it on Acts 19 in her Bible where I'd asked her to. Weeks later... She'd lived way out in the rural. She was cleaning an old lamp chimney, and she cut her hand across there, and the blood just begin spurting. You've heard the old superstition of taking cobwebs... She got a bunch of cobwebs and throwed it on there. 'Course the blood just blew the cobwebs off. And then she tried other little remedies, but it wouldn't stop.

L-31 Now, this is her testimony. I can't say it's... The only thing I know, she was a Christian woman and I believe her testimony. And she said that she was getting so weak, she wrapped a pillow slip around her--her ha--arm, and it bled it wet. And then she got a sheet and it become just so wet... She was losing so much strength she couldn't stand up. And away, away from a neighbor, a little cotton raiser, way back out... Her husband had gone to town to get food for the table, and some hay, or ship stuff, and things for his cattle and stuff in a wagon, on his... She said, "Lord, I'm dying. And how--what can I do?" No doctor within miles and miles, and she slipped to the Bible and remembered that, and she picked this handkerchief up. She said, "Dear God, I trust You to save my life," and she laid it on there.
And tha--that night, I happened still be in Arkansas, down at Little Rock. Reverend G. H. Brown's a witness. She come there wearing a pair of boots. She walked three or four miles out that night with a pair of boots on, packing a lantern. Stepped out of the boots and got her--her shoes out of her--the satchel that she had, put them on her feet; flagged a Greyhound bus; and rode a hundred and something miles down to Little Rock where I was having a meeting. Walked in there, hung her lantern on the tree so she could find it when she come back, and go back through the mud and stuff in the rice fields, and brought--walked in there and showed that handkerchief, not even stained with blood and the scar on her arm where it was across there, where God had stopped it and saved her life. She said, "I feel that I owe it to God."

L-32 A woman once put one on a little baby, club foot. Her sister had sent it to her and she kept that on that baby for weeks. She said... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
God bless you, brother. You believe mother's going to get well? You believe it, mother? With all your heart? God bless you. You--you--God grant it to you.
These two women have been here the last two or three nights. 'Course I've--I believe the--some of them told me the Holy Spirit told them what was wrong with them and all about it. I just watch. See? 'Course anybody would probably say, "Crippled." That's.... Sure, everybody knows they're crippled. The thing is, a well-looking person and then--then something wrong with them, that's the mystery part. But don't worry. You've tried hard, haven't you? God will help you. Just--just--just accept it now, and you too, sister. Both of you old and gray... And God be with you and help you. God will make life sweet for you, mother. Don't pay no attention to your disease now; when the Angel of the Lord begins to anoint, you just accept it with all your heart.
