<TITLE>06. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 Now--now, on these things... But many times in the meeting, I get what goes through the line, Brother Roberts and them, they just real strong, their--their meetings are of faith. It's a--it's with real predominating faith. There's a little brother here, a business man in this city, by the name of George Gardner. You talk about a faith, he's got it. But what he does, he's just a babe in Christ, and he's not had many ups-and-downs, and knocks. So he just reaches out there by faith and grab it. And it's on God's Word, he says, "The Word said so, and that settles it." That's the way to do it. See?
Now, those things... That's the way Brother Roberts does. That's the way Brother Allen does; that's the way Brother Coe does; that's the way they all do. See? It's faith, faith, faith.
Well now, sometimes, the people in the meeting, they get a hold of things that they can't... There's something... But if you've done something in your life, or never done something that you should've done, you could pray over you all you wanted to, and anoint you till you died, and it'll never leave you. See? That's true. Here not...

L-18 See, the before... In the meeting it's slow. But you have to find the cause before you can find the cure. If you go to a doctor and tell him you're having persistent headaches, and he gives you an aspirin, sends you back home, he's not a doctor. He's trying to get rid of you, trying to get you out of the office. If he's a real doctor, he will take you and examine your blood, and your pressure and everything else, and hunt till he finds the cause and then start working from there. That's a real doctor. See? But if he just bounces you off, like that, that's not a doctor. See? He's not a good doctor anyhow, 'cause he should be, his patients should be like his own--his own family, that he'd try to hunt it down, see where it's at, a man's got the thing on his heart. Well, now, that's the same thing here. See?

L-19 Now, here not long ago, just give you a little case... (Am I taking up too much of the time on these testimonies?)...?... A little case, there was a little woman. A Methodist preacher, down in New Albany, Indiana, which is a very dear friend of mine. I had the Baptist tabernacle in Jeffersonville, and we were brothers, if there ever was.
And he'd--he'd always... If--if I got a hold of somebody that didn't believe in immersing and wanted to be sprinkled, I'd send him down. I said, "You go down to this church, Brother...?... 'cause he... You'd make a better member down there, because," I'd say, "he's a real man. And he's a man of God. But he believes in sprinkling, and I'm a Baptist." And so he... I'd take him down. If he found somebody, I'd say, "Now, it's awful dry down there. You see?"
So if he'd find somebody that wanted to be immersed instead of being sprinkled, he'd say, "Go up and see Brother Billy," said, "now he will drown you; he's a Baptist, but... So we just had friendship like that with each other.
Well, he was a good man. And he said--he said, after I come in here about, has been about two years ago, a little over. He said, "Billy, all the way around the world you go, and then leave your poor brother set down here." Said, "Why, don't you come down and hold a meeting for me?"
And I said, "Well, brother, I... When I come home, I'm--I'm trying to rest my mind and things from the prayer of the sick.
And he said, "Well, Brother Branham," he said, "But I won't ask you to pray for one person, if you just come down and preach for us one night."
Well, he had a radio program, and he announced it on the radio that morning, and that night, church about like this, and they were everywhere, and out on the streets and nearly...
