<TITLE>05. Par 20-24</TITLE>L-20 Wouldn't I had... But what it was, he was expecting me to be there. And that's kind of a--a let down, you know; it kind of ruins the atmosphere. After me promising to be there, and he'd say, "Well, Brother Branham doesn't keep his word." But I did; God knows it. So now, the Lord bless you. And I hope to... as soon as I return back to come to Chicago for a good long meeting, when we come back...?... [Congregation claps--Ed.] Certainly thank you. The Lord bless you and...?... you; that's very fine. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. God bless you. That--that shows that you really love me and you love the Lord. And I--I'll do what I possibly can to get back with you as quick as possible. You pray for me now as I go to the other countries.

L-21 God bless you. Mattsson Boze, for the next thing, he said he taken up a love offering for me. I didn't expect that, friend. No there's some little lady or man, set back there the other night and give my wife a Christmas card, the person may be in here now, that had enough money in it to pay my expense up here and back, which would've took care of the whole thing. And I--I just appreciate that. [Congregation claps--Ed.] Thank you kindly.
May the Lord bless each one. And what you give, I... Jesus said, "Insomuch as you have done it unto the least of these My little ones (which that would be me), you have done it unto Me." So that... I--I pray that He will bless you in that measure.

L-22 And now, I'm very happy tonight, I believe, to see my good friend again back there, Brother Ryan. He usually follows me around in the meetings and... Brother Ryan, I'll kinda be disappointed if I don't see you show up in Africa, India, somewhere. Amen. He's been a friend of mine for a long time.
He was the one who produced the bicycle to me. I guess you heard me tell about one time that I was going to take up an offering, and I didn't have nerve enough to do it. And he gave me a bicycle, and I painted it and sold it for five dollars. And... He was riding the bicycle down and then he left it there, said it wasn't very good. So I got a ten cent can of paint, and it looked pretty good. Some kid give... And I didn't have to take the offering.

L-23 So God bless you, Brother Ryan. And the rest of my good friends. If I'm not mistaken, here's a little sister right here that usually comes with Mrs. Dommico from here. Is that right? I thought I recognized you a few moments ago. And was you the one that was healed that time of the cancer, or one of your friends? It was Mrs. Dommico, one of her friends that was healed with cancer, was it? Mrs. Dommico herself.
And is she in the building? Is she here? Well, that's very fine. I haven't spotted her as yet, so... Oh, yes, over in the corner, that... God bless you, Sister Dommico. I think they're natives here of Chicago. Her husband has a spaghetti company. They've been very, very close friends of mine. And I'm so thankful for that.

L-24 Now, if I... Somebody setting here that I don't recognize, and well, remember, I just didn't call them out to make them conspicuous. I'm sure glad to see you also, every one of you. 'Course Brother Beeler down here, he's just my side-pile, here taking the recordings. He goes to the meeting and very humble and very fine man.
If Brother Beeler ever comes this way, receive him in the grace of God, for he's a--a veteran from the war that got his hand shot off overseas, and give his heart to Christ and come back and has become a Full Gospel preacher, interdenominational. And he's in Jeffersonville now, and a very fine Christian brother, and a staunch speaker. So we're happy to have brother with us.
