<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 When I return, the Lord willing, I'll be able to tell you experiences of things of that type, that I have had experience with. For instance, while it's just on my mind, before I turn to my lesson tonight, being that we just got a couple nights together. We're not in no big hurry, are we? So...
I was here just recently, old Brother Bosworth... How many knows F. F. Bosworth? My, nearly everybody knows him. And he's the... Since Mr. Baxter has resigned, he went into the--some business that he couldn't take care of these campaigns, why, Mr. Bosworth is the floor manager in the meetings now, in the big meetings. And so, a very dear brother, oh, sweet humble, you just love him. I... You just can't keep from loving Brother Bosworth, such a saintly, godly, old brother. And he was in Africa, and he was supposed to be on the East Coast, and then we was to go to the West Coast together; that's after we had been there once, where we had the great meetings.

L-5 And one night, the room had been so crowded all day long, I was just so weary I could... I told my wife; I said, "If anybody else calls," it was on Saturday night, I said, "tell them just go to the church in the morning, I'll pray for them down there, 'cause I'm just getting so tired, honey," I said, "I just can't hold myself together." And getting so nervous, I was just getting upset.
Well, she's thirty-five and completely gray headed. You can imagine, she stands between me and the public there. So you can imagine what it is, and just went gray in the last year or two. But... And she got the people away. When I cleaned up the room, after every one was gone, we jumped in the car, real quick, and taken a little ride. We went down below New Albany to some knobs, not mountains, just kind of little mountains, what we call the knobs there. And it's kind of rough along this side, and I was driving along there. All at once my windshield just become completely white. And I... Next thing I knew she was saying, "Billy, what's the matter with you?"
And we had drove about a mile around those cliffs. And I knew nothing about it. It had been a vision. And I stopped the car real quick; we was way up in the wooded country. I said, "Sweetheart, I got to get out here at the road and pray for Brother Bosworth, just at once." I said, "I see him get off of a train at Durban, South Africa, and he was stricken. I seen them pick him up and put on stretches, and he's in the hospital and very seriously. And I must pray for him at once."

L-6 Well, we stopped the car and I got outside, went over to the edge of the woods, and knelt down, prayed to God to help brother. And then that was Saturday night, and the following Sunday night, I hadn't left the house yet, and some friends was in the house. And we have four phones to answer on; you can just about imagine what it is, so--the calls. And that phone only takes long distance. And they said, "The Louisville operator of the Western Union was calling." And she said... I went to the phone, and she said, "Rev. Branham, I have a telegram from Durban, South Africa, from Mr. Rev. Dr Raager. And said, "Pray for Brother Bosworth at once. Was stricken after stepping off a train yesterday. In the hospital, expecting him to die at any moment." Like that.

L-7 I said, "Operator, could you trace that back and tell when me when that left Durban?"
She said, "Yes, sir." She called me in a few moments, and told me what time it left Durban. I got...?... off of my travels so many times, the Pan American gives a little chart that gives the hours, and so forth. And what had happened, that Angel of God had beat that telegram there, twenty-four hours, just exactly. And time I got a--a call through the next day, Brother Bosworth done been healed, was up and going. You see? So he was healed 'fore the telegram could get there. The sovereignty of God, the Angel of the Lord beat the telegram there, twenty-four hours. See, see?
