<TITLE>05. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 I said, "I am not the judge." I said... He said... "Well," I said, "I think his message is wonderful."
He said, "Are you a Christian?"
I said, "Yes, sir, I am."
And he said... "Well," he said, "do you think a servant of Christ should just put on a whole lot like that, and dress like that, and act like that, and..."
And I said, "Well, you see, for my opinion, God has people in different categories to catch people that live in different categories."
He was talking about, said, "Why, the man has two El Dorado's every year."
I said, "I'm very thankful that God's that good to him." See? And... but he looked down at me kinda strange, and he said, "Are you a Christian?"
I said, "I'm a minister."
He said, "My name is so-and-so."
And I said, "My name is Branham."
He said, "You wouldn't happen to be the Branham that prays for the sick?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
"Oh," he said, "I see."

L-15 And he could see why I was taking up for this other brother. And he said, "Mr. Branham," he said, "aren't you a Baptist?"
I said, "I was. Yes, sir."
He said, "I want to ask you something." He said, "I am a certain doctor of theology in a certain church, well, a--a Presbyterian." And he said, "You know what? On this west coast here," he said, "we Presbyterian people had the entire coast sewed down." Said, "We had the biggest churches and the finest congregations of any churches on the west coast." And said, "You know what broke us up?"
I said, "No, sir."
He said, "That cult Christian Science come in and broke up our church." And said, "Now this Pentecostal group's coming in and breaking up Christian Science and everything."
I said, "Uh-huh." I said, "Doctor, do you know hungry children will eat from a garbage can if they're hungry?"
He said, "Well, I guess that's right."
I said, "If you Presbyterians, as you said you were, if you would've stayed with the Word of God and give the children the bread of Life, that cult would've never broke them up." I said, "You just let down; that's all." And I said, "People are still people and they're--every man is trying to look beyond the curtain. He's trying to see where he come from and where he went to. And if the Church of the living God won't produce it, then the devil will rise up some cults to give them some false things." I said, "Therefore you ought to stayed with the Word of God; they'd all been Presbyterians." And that's right truly. And that's the way I think, generally the feeling of people are.

L-16 Now, I want to read a little text of Scripture here, and maybe the Lord will add His blessings to it. And I'll lay my watch out, because I know your Sunday school classes will be adjourning pretty soon and we have some after service. And I thought I'd just talk to you just--just heart to heart a little bit this morning in the Sunday school lesson. And we find this just across the page from where I preached last night from II Kings; this is II Kings the 5th now. Listen at the 4th verse.
 And it was so, when Elijah the man of God... heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes... he sent unto the king, and said, Where you rent your clothes?... come to me and... know there is a prophet in Israel.
