<TITLE>02. Par 6-9</TITLE>L-6 So it was... When I got over there, there was not... It was just one man. Many of the other churches was kinda, oh, I don't know... The brother was all right to me, but it was just a little misrepresented to me. And I--I didn't want to cause hard feelings among the churches, so he just went ahead praying for the sick and I prayed for what was there. Then I--I come on back.
And now, then the end of this week, beginning next Sunday, the Lord willing, that's Sunday from after tomorrow, we begin at Louisville, Kentucky, and then we'll be there for a few nights through the following Sunday. And then from there back to the--the auditorium in Shreveport, Louisiana, and then from there to Denver, Colorado. And this Denver, Colorado, is the businessmen of the city that's sponsoring the meeting at some auditorium there. It's a nice big place at Denver.
And then from there to the Norwegian people at (Swedish and so forth) in Canada. We go to Edmonton, Grande Prairie, Dawson Creek. And I always wanted to get back with those friends. And while I'm just visiting around (well, that's before overseas), that's my opportunity to get to meet the people and just preaching. I just shake their hand. And I tried that on every meeting, but it's always a healing service 'fore it ends.
How many knows Jack Shuler? Most all of you, I guess, know him. He's a well-known brother and a fine man, Methodist brother.

L-7 When I was in Phoenix, I've never met him in Jeff. My mother and them knew him, but... So I was in Phoenix. I found out that he was there too. So I was at Madison Square Garden and he was out at some school auditorium or something. So I called him up, and I got a hold of where he was staying at. And one of the managers found him, Mr. Moore. And so, then he called me back is the way it was.
He said, "Hello, kid."
Kid? I said, "How old does a man have to be to be an adult?" You know...?... I think he's around thirty somewhere and I'm--will be forty-five in April. So I was a kid.
He said, "Say, I hear you're shelling the woods." (He's got quite a sense of humor).
And I said, "Well, we're having a wonderful time."
He said, "Well, Brother Branham," said...
I said, "I didn't appear here to be your competitor."
He said, "If there's anybody competitor, it's me." He said, "You had advertisement here first."
And I said, "Well, that's all right, Brother Shuler, there's plenty of room here."
He said, "Well, he'd had a wonderful time. He'd had two weeks and was going to be out before I come in, and then he--he stayed over a week, another week."

L-8 And so he was a--he's a minister; his father's a minister and his grandfather's a minister. And I think the old man can out-preach the other two, the old grandfather. But that's mighty nice to have a family like that, don't you think so?

L-9 I hope, if Jesus tarries, that my boy's a preacher, and his boy's a preacher, and just keeps on like that. I'd rather him be a preacher than the President of the United States. Although, as honorable as it is to be the President, I'd rather him be a minister of the Gospel, preaching the truth. Even if he was so poor he had to drink branch water and eat soda crackers, I'd rather him be a real preacher of God, sent of God.
