<TITLE>14. Par 46-48</TITLE>L-46 Not long ago they proved in the police court, where a great judge of a city was supposed to have touched his ghostly mother's hands in a meeting. And proved, the next morning, it wasn't nothing but a fake with a piece of cheesecloth. But he didn't touch her hand. But what is that? That's some money making scheme, trying to impersonate that real spiritualist. And if they have it in that side, so do we have it on this side, trying to impersonate a real Christian--Make-believers. Amen.
Notice, someone then, about a year later, you read the Reader's Digest, of my meeting in California, down there at the campgrounds, when they brought that little Donny Morton. Many of you has read it, no doubt. From Donny Morton, the miracle, when they brought him down out of Canada and give a wonderful write up, how he come to the platform., little fellow, twisted all out of condition. And how, said, the evangelist never asked one question but looked straight at the child, and told him where he come from, how he'd been to Mayo Brother's, and turned down and everything. And just exactly how the outcome of the child would be. And it was just exactly word by word.

L-47 So then here come preachers, sending letters in, said, "Brother Branham, I always kind of doubted. I believe now, you are a spiritualist." A man of God that don't know no better than that. I just wrote a letter out, a--a regular circular letter and said, "Why is it? Why, when Jesus was here was it the same thing? Exactly. They don't understand. The impersonation, everything the devil has, he copied it off of Christ. That only makes the real one better.
Look, if you picked up a bogus dollar, and it goes to show there's a real dollar somewhere. Now, how would you do if you got a bogus dollar? The first thing you'd pick it up and feel the value of it. A real dollar is not made out of paper together. It's a silk affair. A real dollar isn't made on regular paper. Feel the value of it.

L-48 Now, take what she did, and then what the Holy Spirit does in the meeting. Then what she did, she has nearly fifty years of service, and not one time was God ever mentioned, or Christ ever mentioned, or healing ever mentioned, salvation ever mentioned, eternal punishment ever mentioned, and it's all about some kind of tommyrot, that some dead man lived years ago with somebody else and the places they went and things, not no value to it at all. Shows it was bogus.
And another thing, the best thing to do with a dollar, take the letters off of it, the numbers, and send back to the mint and find out whether there's a something to correspond with it at the mint or not. Is that right? Well, that's the way to do it. Take the Scripture and find out which is which. The mint will prove what it is. Is that right? Amen. Oh, how... Here's what it is, friends, if you'll give me just a moments time, and help me to--pray for me, I mean, as I don't mean to say, "I'll show you the..." I can't do that. I can only explain the way of it. God has to show it to you.
