<TITLE>17. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 And he said, "Parson Branham, I--I never heard of you in my life," but said, "my old mammy had the same kind of 'ligion you got." 'Ligion, you know, said--said, "Same kind of 'ligion you got." Said, "Her never told me a lie, all her life, or no one else." Said, "I's been blind for many years, parson." And said, "I live about two hundred miles from here. And last night in the night I woke up." And said, "Just as clear as I ever seen in my life, there stood my old mammy, standing by the side of the bed. She said, 'Honey child, you raise up in here, and put on your clothes. And you go down to Camden, Arkansas, and ask for a man named Branham. Tell him to pray for you. You'll get your sight.'"

L-53 Oh-h-h-h-h, what a feeling. I didn't know nothing to do. I put my hand on the old fellow; I said, "God, I don't understand this; Your Spirit led me over here; It's led him here. We know not one another; but if Thou hast sent him, Lord, then You'll surely You'll confirm Your Word."
I took my hand off of him, like that, and they was pushing, you know, try--trying to break that line, them police holding them back like that, and to go through. I took my hands down like that, started back. And...?... said, "Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord."
And his wife said, "You see, honey?"
He said, "Sure."
Said, "Oh, you really see, honey?"
Said, "Sure." Said, "See that red car setting there, they're going to take Parson Branham to?" Everybody begin to scream. There it was.
Oh, here about two or three years ago, I heard from him. He's preaching the Gospel, that old man, holding meetings. And how? Led by the Spirit.

L-54 One day here in Fort Wayne, Indiana, when it was just coming the time of when this--this man was healed there. They sent me over to the King of England. And he was sitting... Lehman was his name. And the meeting was going on, great signs.
You Pentecostal people know how the "Evangel" packed that piece, and "We The People," in there: That blind girl, when the whole United States examined it, the Medical Association took it up, see whether it was right or not. And that little girl by the name of Bethel had been blind. I picked her up in my arms, and begin to pray for her, and a vision struck and said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD," and there she was healed like that. And they even examined it everywhere.
It come in the Assembly of God paper, and it come out in "We The People," that big book. "We The People," goes every--goes internationally, everywhere. That same meeting, just a little bit after that, there was a man setting there with multiple sclerosis in his back. And I was setting there. And they'd been watching. Night... Was the last night of the service. And they wanted that man to get where was I at. Some of you might've been in the Fort Wayne meetings. Old Dr. Bosworth and them was there. And they started...?... the meetings. And they put this man in my path, so that he'd just... He--he wanted to touch the trouser legs of my--of my trouser legs, going out.
And the poor fellow laying there with white shirt on, and the people walking over him, I said, "What a shame. Don't lay that man there. Pick him up." And then they started to put him back in a chair.
And they just even climbed up on the top of the roof, and for, oh, I believe it was... Oh, I forget how many city blocks, twenty some odd city blocks, cars was parked everywhere, and people were outside standing on the street. You was at the Fort Wayne meeting, knows what it was.
