<TITLE>05. Par 12-13</TITLE>L-12 I believe that the--the next announcement is... To think of--of this week, I wasn't going to start or going to--trying to feel out about coming here to the Tabernacle for a few nights here, as I promised you to do. And will perhaps do it a--will just a little later. But a poor, dear brother come down to--to Brother Wright's the other day, and wading through them bushes back there to Brother Roy Roberson and I, from down here in... He's in an awful condition, and he wanted me to come down, hold a few nights for him. He announced it for eight nights, and he had that Sportsdrome where we was at the last time at Owensboro, Brother Rogers. And I told him not to do it, just to let me have two nights and put it in--in his church up there now. I said, "Well, what... I haven't been fasting and praying."
Said, "Brother Branham, if you just come down and sing a song, that'd be all right." So he loved me that much, so I going down to help him out this afternoon. And pray for me. I may stay a few days longer, but it just--I just announced for two days. So I, feeling out what the Lord wants me to do.
And I--I really... Friends, as I realize that seeing my brother lay fifty up there, and know that my next is forty-six, myself, knowing that it isn't going be too long now until I'll... And if I live, I haven't got too much time to ramble around the way I'm doing now. I'll be a real old man. So--not able to do it. And I--I want... And know that I'll be mortal once, I want every minute of my time to count for the Lord Jesus. Then somebody say, "Well, why did you go up in the mountain then?" Well, my brother, if I didn't go up there, I'm afraid I would crack up before I got too far away. You just got to rest. And I said to the wife, which is present here somewhere this morning, I said... Coming down, I said, "You know, I believe I'm a way better Christian when I come out of the mountains than when I go in, 'cause I get so..." People here and this... And some of them coming, "Well, the Lord said for you to do this and so forth," and it gets me all confused. But when I come out the mountain, I'm rested; I love everybody; and I... You know, you just get yourself back to normal again. That's what is good, Brother Neville.

L-13 Now, we're... I'll try my best now to get through in about... Oh, yes, the Sunday School classes... Now, where do they go, Brother Neville? The Sunday School class, the little children and those will go to the--the rear of the building, and if the adults desire to move up a little closer, why, you'll be more than glad. If you got your little fellows here this morning, would like to send them in, why, you just send them right back. I'm sure they got a good teacher back there that'll teach them nothing else but the Lord Jesus.
