<TITLE>12. Par 48-51</TITLE>L-48 Here some time ago, I was reading an article of somebody who said, "I know." Well, I tell you another case. I stopped, been getting some apples from an old man down in Indiana. And he's always, nice old fellow. And I was buying some apples from him. And he said--looked out on the--my little truck and said, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and for ever."
And He looked on there, and he said, "Huh," said, "Oh, Jeffersonville, you live at Jeffersonville?"
And I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "Say, you know that healer up there?"
And I Said, "No, don't believe I do." And He said...
I said, "What healer?"
And he said, "Oh, they got a healer up there." And said, "Ain't you never heard of him?"
I said, "No." I said, "I've heard of a Healer, not only at Jeffersonville, but all over the world, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever."
He said, "Let's see, this guy's name's Branham, or something like that."
I said, "Oh, yeah." I said, "I know him."
And he said, "Well, you know what I think? He's the biggest hypocrite in the world."
I said, "You do?" I said, "Well," I said, "I guess that's all right with him." See? I said, "Everybody don't think that." I said, "I'm one that don't think it, anyhow."

L-49 He said--well, he said, "You know," said, "I knowed somebody who took old lady So-and-so, over here, up there. She had arthritis." And said, "They took her up there, and she was prayed for, and she never got any better at all, not a bit."
I asked him, I said, "What church you go to?" And he told me. "Oh, 'I said, "I understand."
And he said, "Well, if you ever see that guy, you tell him I said he was a hypocrite."
I said, "You're telling him right now."
He said, "Are you him?"
And I said, "That's right." I said, "That is right."
So he said... Now, there you are, somebody will point to somebody who didn't have faith enough to be healed. When they're a shame, and not rightful enough in their mind, to point to the tens of thousands who was healed.

L-50 Here not long ago, they had a piece in the paper, where a Christian Science woman, and if there's a Christian Science person in here, I have great respects for you, and I have nothing to say against you at all. Only in theology, I different. I don't believe that diseases are thoughts, I believe they're a realities; they're the devil. And they're the devil in form. And I believe if your sick, you're really sick, but God is the Healer, Who can heal. And so I'm... But that's all right, whatever you believe, well, that's up to you.
But this Christian Science woman, she had a sick child, who had appendicitis, I believe it was. You all seen it in the paper; it's been about eight or ten years ago, perhaps. And she would not have a doctor. Now, I disagree with that, I--I that's all right. I ain't got nothing against doctors and hospitals, 'cause God's the healer anyhow; no matter what they do, they can't heal.

L-51 So she wouldn't have the doctor. And she said, "No," that their baby was going to get well, anyhow, and the baby died. Oh, my, did the newspapers pick that up, and they scattered it from California to Maine. "Oh, Divine healing is wrong. It's fanaticism; it's heresy; it should be stopped. Looky here, that poor little baby lost it's life, because a fanatic mother wouldn't have a doctor."
And the same time that that paper was still before the public, the doctors killed thousands, and there wasn't nothing said about it. Let's be reasonable.
