<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 And Brother Jack Shuler is a fine man. You heard me say the first night I come here, "You give me a little something..." It was his own slogan, so I guess I can pass it on. I...
He said, "Brother Branham," said, "no doubt a lot of people talk about your Divine healing, praying for the sick." He said, "They talk about me in dramatizing," said... He told me I could pass this on, so I will.
He said, not long ago till somebody said, "Jack, why don't you quit all that there dramatizing, all that carrying on like that, and just preach Christ and let it go?"
He said, "Are you a fisherman?"
Said, "Yes."
Said, "What do you use for bait, t-bone steak?"
Said, "No."
Said, "What do you use?" Said, "worms?" He said, "Do you like them?"
Said, "No."
Said, "What do you fish with them for?"
Said, "That's what the fish bite on."
He said, "That's what I thought."
Said, "Brother Branham, that's the way with your ministry. When you come to town, people expect you to pray for the sick." Said, "When I come to town, they look for the drama." Said, "Not because we want to do it, but that's our ministry." That's right. Let's stay with it till Jesus comes. That's right. Just stay right with it. Amen.

L-6 Now, to this meeting. I've been to Phoenix; I think, this is three or four times I've had services in Phoenix. But I say this from the depths of my heart: This has been one of the most pleasant times I've ever stayed in Phoenix. That's right.
My boy just met me... And Brother Sharritt come and gets me at night and brings me up. Billy meets me here at the door, brings me on in. And Brother...?... coming down, we were talking, Billy met me there, and he said...
I said, "Well, son, what about...?" He was--had a little satchel in his hand, said, "They've give you a love offering, dad." I want to thank you.
I said, "What about the offering, is the...?" Everything is paid up clear, and they had some left over to go into the missionary. God bless your gallant souls. To the best of my knowledge, I'll do the best that I can with it to the up-building of the Kingdom of God. Thank you kindly, and may God richly bless you, and repay you a hundredfold for all that you have did.

L-7 And then, won't be no debts left in this city, and so forth, everything will be clear. And our missionary offering, and a couple of hundred dollars, whatever it was, left over out of the other, will be placed right into the missionary offering. It'll all go overseas work, which I know you'd be pleased with that to know that that... And in my love offering, whatever it'll be, two or three hundred dollars, when I get home, or whatever it may be, I'll... What debts I have, I'll pay it, and go right into another meeting. And what's left over of that will go right straight into foreign missions. That's exactly the truth, and God knows that to be true. I thank every one of you.
I want to pay a salute to my brethren and sisters, the sponsors of this meeting, and the cooperation of these pastors who's come and put not only their presence, but their time and their heart in the meeting. You've been wonderful, my dear brothers and sisters. And if we never meet again this side the river, we'll meet at the other side.
I trust that soon I can return to Phoenix for a longer meeting. There's one thing we need here in Phoenix, is either a great, big auditorium, seat eight or ten thousand people, or bring a tent; that's the best, and then stay till it's over. That's right. [Congregation applauds--Ed.] Thank you very kindly. That makes me feel doubly welcome back, and I---I appreciate it. I'm your friend to help you at any time that I can.
