<TITLE>05. Par 14-17</TITLE>L-14 [Brother Branham speaks to Sister Branham--Ed.] Get a microphone. Now you're not going to faint. So just... Ha-ha-ha.
[Sister Branham says, "I'm certainly happy to be here, friends, and meet all you lovely people. And I'm really enjoying these services, and the Presence of the Lord."]
Thank you, sweetheart. That's the best you've ever done. Thank you.
[Brother Branham speaks to his little girl--Ed.] You want to say a little Sarah?
Oh, she's as bashful as her mother. Well, thank you, sweetheart, and thanks to little Sarah, and...
Now, that's the little lady that you hear on the telephone, that sits day and night at the telephone, and at the door, constantly all the time, meets the public: thirty six years old and almost snow white-headed and almost to a nervous breakdown right now, because she's just in such a fix. She stands between me and the public of the world, all around the world. And she certainly has a time. God bless her gallant soul, and someday where all good mothers go, may she be there forever. The Lord bless her.
Thank you all for making her so welcome. We--we love you with... for that very much.

L-15 And now, here's some handkerchiefs to be prayed for. And is these gloves to be prayed over? [A brother says, "No, someone lost them."--Ed.] Someone lost them. Now, I do in the--in the services, I get gloves, I get little children's little stockings.
And here sometime ago, I... This is kinda cute. We got just a little bit of time to have fellowship, haven't we, before we start?

L-16 I was going down through Louisiana, and we were going way down in the southern Louisiana to have a meeting. And while down there, I lost a suitcase off the top of the car, just right among the colored district. Mr. Moore said to me; he said, "Brother Branham, you haven't even got a chance." Said, "You'll never see that suitcase. Without even a pocket handkerchief," said, "what are you going to do?"
I said, "Well, I... Only thing I'm going to do is just go right ahead and preach the Gospel."
He said, "Well now, look, Brother Branham," said, "those colored folks," said, "that's a mean district in there."
I said, "That don't hurt." I said, "The colored folks like me, and I love them."
He said, "Well, if the..."
I said, "My Bible was in there." Somebody had just give me a new suit, and it was in there. I had an old ragged wore out suit on.
And he said--said, "All you got is in that suitcase."
And I said, "Yeah, that's all right." I--I said, "Well, my Bible is in there."
He said, "Well now, if one of the sinners find it, they'll throw the Bible away and take the suits and away they'll go." And he said, "And then you can't win." He said, "If the Christians find it, and know who you are, they'll cut that suit to pieces and send prayer cloths one to another. So what are you going to do?" He said, "We got to leave."

L-17 And we got way down in the southern part of the state, where we was going to have the service, and pulled into a little place down there, and so they were... The next thing, there was a policeman come up. And he told him, said, "Would you radio back, that a preacher lost his suitcase up there?"
And he said, "Shore." (You know that southern talk.)
He said, "Hey, it ain't Brother Branham's suitcase is it?"
Said, "Yes."
Well, he said, "He prayed for my mother, and she was in a wheelchair, and she was healed." Said, "Shore, I get that suitcase." And away he went, and he radioed over two or three days. No, no good nowhere.
