<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>55-1116, The Calling Of Abraham, Tent Meeting, San Fernando, CA, 79 min
L-1 Thank you, my dear brother. That's just wonderful. Praise the Lord. Everyone enjoyed that, say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] What--what wonderful singing these brothers has been doing for us, here at the--our revival. And we're certainly appreciative to them, and God bless them.
I heard some fine compliments on them today. And I'm so thankful to hear that, 'cause I know both these brothers, and know they're real Christians. And we're thankful for everything.
So we're happy to be in tonight again, this Wednesday night, regular prayer meeting night, midweek prayer meeting among the churches. And--and we pray that those who has dismissed to come out, that God will richly bless you and give us a--a prayer meeting here tonight. And those who could not, and had their own services, we just pray that God will give them great prayer meeting.

L-2 Last night, I thought I would be sure to get out at nine-thirty, but I missed it again. So I--I'm--so I'm going to try again if I can.
Now, they've give me some handkerchiefs here to pray over. I noticed on one, said, "Brother Branham, please anoint." Now, that is just fine. Now, I know many brethren anoint the handkerchiefs, which that's good. And I... God, anything that God will bless, I'm certainly for it, aren't you? That's...
But now, I never anoint them; I just kinda use the Scripture by it. Now, in the Scripture I don't believe they anointed the handkerchiefs, but the Bible said, where you're getting the Scripture for it, is Acts the 19th chapter, where that they taken from the body of Paul, handkerchiefs and aprons. Wasn't nothing about anointing them. But 'course, that's all right, if they anoint them, but I don't have any anointing oil.

L-3 Now, I believe in anointing the sick with oil, just certainly. The Bible said so. The handkerchiefs, the way I do them, is just pray over them. And, oh, it's been such a great success. We just had such a wonderful time in praying for the handkerchiefs. And the--the Lord has blessed in such a marvelous way.
Now, here not long ago, just a little testimony, I'd like to say about praying over handkerchiefs. I send out. I've sent out (Oh, I would be afraid to say the number.) thousands times thousands, and multiplied thousands around the world. And I got a cute little letter that come from a German translator. I have a little temporary offices in, oh, eight or ten different nations. And--and they get the letter and translate it, and then send it to me and say what they want, and I send it back. So there was a... It was real cute.
There was a little German woman had been in a wheelchair with arthritis for a number of years. And they had translated my book, in German. And I believe the man's right here in the meeting, that did that, or he was down at the Christian Business Men's breakfast the other morning. Thank you, sir. And down at the--the Christian Business Men's breakfast, the other morning...
