<TITLE>06. Par 18-21</TITLE>L-18 Now, we never--we Baptists don't do like you northern Baptists up here do. We old fashion Baptists down there in the south, old Missionary Baptist down in the mountains of Kentucky, when we come to the altar we didn't go down shake one another's hands and put our names on the book. We beat one another in the back till we come through. We got something. That's right. It's too bad we got starchy with it, isn't it, brother Baptist? That's right, right.
Them old churches back there, they didn't care whether it was Baptist, Presbyterian; when they had have revival we got in there, and preached the Gospel, and shouted, and praised the Lord. You could lose your pocketbook out on the creek bank, if it have hundred dollars in it, somebody'd bring it to you if they found it. It was all right. Honest, I'd take that any time. The Lord bless you.

L-19 I just want to speak to you tonight, 'cause I got a real bad throat, tired; I'm just wore out. And I got to leave after tomorrow afternoon, go right straight home, and speak there, and come right straight back, and begin Wednesday night up at Charlotte, at... I don't know the name of the place, I believe it's Fox Auditorium, or Fox Theater. I never even met the minister up there, who it is; but I know it's Brother Bigsby's brother-in-law. And if he's anything to do with Brother Bigby, he's a good man. Brother Bigby's a fine man. And this brother here knows him and recommends him, so... I can't think of you; I'm going to call you Brother Glenn. That's what I was calling you the other day, so I--I want to call him Spirgle, Sparson, and I get it mixed up.

L-20 So now, in bringing your handkerchiefs, now that is the Bible. Now, many of you, I been reading your letters, said, "Brother Branham, will you anoint my handkerchief?" Now, that's all right. What the Lord does we appreciate that. Anything He blesses we're for it. But if you'll bear witness with me with the Bible, Paul didn't anoint handkerchiefs. He just took from his body, handkerchiefs and aprons. See?
Now, where I think you got that, is when the Shunammite woman come to Elijah. And she knew God was in His prophet, so she went to find out why her child had died. And so Elijah knew that everything he touched was blessed, so he told Gehazi, said, "Take this staff and go lay it on the child."
But the woman's faith wasn't in the staff; it was in the prophet. So she said, "I'll not leave you until you--till I find out or know what I want to know."
And so he went with her. And you notice, it wasn't his prayer; he laid his body on the dead child and it come to life. See?

L-21 Now, these handkerchiefs we send thousands of them a week everywhere, all over the world. And if any time you need one, just write me Jeffersonville, Indiana; we'll send it to you. Now, the--And we got a prayer band around the world, where I've been. We was looking on a globe today, and just a very few spots that the Lord hasn't permitted me to preach the Gospel in yet on the world.
And then, in there we form a prayer band, that people get up at one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock in the morning, the world around, according to the--the third, sixth, and ninth hour, nine o'clock at morning, twelve o'clock at noon, and three o'clock in the afternoon. And everybody with one universal prayer praying one for another, something's got to happen; there's millions of them. See? And we want you to get in on this, to pray with us and help us to minister to the people, that when we get up there we want you to have a part in the ministry.
