<TITLE>09. Par 31-34</TITLE>L-31 She said, "It's my arm." She said, "Looky here," and stretched it out, right there standing right there on the street, and she started screaming and crying.
And that great big cop started to blow the whistle, he said, "I know you, Brother Branham." And then I had a prayer line on the side of the street then. That was it. See? It just... There it was on the side of the street. So we... It's just marvelous to see how He leads and does things.
Up here in Arkansas sometime, when I was first started out. Now, I was at the... I forget the name of the place down there, just now. I can't... Jonesboro. And so they was having a meeting and there was a... The paper said there was twenty-eight thousand people at the meeting, and they were come from everywhere and parked in for miles.

L-32 And so we left that evening... There's where some marvelous things taken place. And so we went on over to another city there. Oh, El Dorado. And so I was at El Dorado. No, it wasn't El Dorado, either. It was... I can't think of... There was Wichita River come through. I think of it maybe in a few moments.
If you understand I'm speaking now, the--the anointing of that is just moving around. I've already seen two people healed, since I've been standing right here on the platform. That's right.
So then in--in the meeting, when I got down there we... Was bringing me out a little church, some kind of a little church, I'd spoke that morning. And it's raining so hard, and as I started out, they was two police, one in front of me, and one in the back of me, taking me out to the car. The crowds... They had the streets all blocked in there, and everything. And I begin to hear somebody hollering, "Mercy! Mercy! Mercy!"

L-33 Well, I thought, "Where is that coming?" I looked over and standing on, way up back to one side, stood an old colored man. He was... Oh, I guess he was in his late fifties or sixties, real white hair, and his wife was standing there. He had his cap in his hand.
Now, in Arkansas they have a Jim Crow law that the--the white and colored can't set together, be together. So that man was calling, "Mercy! Mercy!"
I stopped, and Something said to me, "Go over where he's at."
Well, I--I said, "Just a moment, sir. I must go..."
He said, "Look, Reverend Branham," that cop did, said, "I don't want to interfere with your doing." He said, "But you couldn't leave these white people and go to that colored man."
I said, "But the Holy Spirit tells me to do it." See? I said, "I must go to him." And so I started on. There's a couple ministers there, and they started making the way. And so I never forget it.

L-34 When the old fellow come up there, he had his cap just in his hand like this, and he was saying, "Mercy! Mercy!"
And I heard his wife say, "The parson man coming towards you, honey." And she was standing there. She was crying too. And so when I got up real close, the group of the people put their hands out like this, and made a little ring, so the people wouldn't rush in.
So I walked up to where the old fellow was; he said, "Is--is--is--is--is you, Parson Branham?" He begin to feel all over my face and he said...
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "Oh," he said, "you's probably younger man than I thought you was."
And I--I said, "What is it?"
