<TITLE>20. Par 68-70</TITLE>L-68 I just love that song "Only Believe." How many knows who wrote it? My buddy, Paul Rader, Baptist preacher. I didn't say he was Baptist. He is kinda like I am, I guess, kinda a little Calvinist and... You never did you hear of his last words when he was dying in California? He and Luke stayed together, like my boy and I stay together--his brother. Luke just died recently.
Paul was out there, and he got him all tied up with a big bunch of formal religions, and things, and he was a Gospel preacher. He was dying, laying in the hospital, and he said, "Where's Luke?"
First, Moody Bible sent down the little quartet there to sing for him, and they had his curtains all down at the windows and things. He said, "Who's dying, me or you?" Said, "Raise up them curtains and sing me some snappy Gospel songs." He had a kind of a sense of humor. They began to sing "Down at the Cross Where My Saviour Died." He said, "That sounds better." Said, "Where's Luke?" Luke couldn't stand to see his brother die. He was over in the other room. Said, "Tell him to come here." Come over, took a hold of Luke's hand, looked up at him, said, "Luke, think of it. In five minutes from now I'll be standing in the Presence of Jesus Christ clothed in His righteousness," squeezed his brother's hands and went to meet God.
 Lives of great man all remind us
 We could make our lives sublime,
 Partings leave behind us
 Footprints on the sands of time.
 Footprints, that perhaps another,
 Sailing over life's solemn main,
 For forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
 Seeing shall take heart again.

L-69 That's right. Oh, I'm so happy tonight. Souls came to Christ. Now, we'll have a little prayer line or did the boys... Did you give out prayer cards? Is prayer cards give out? Yeah. All right. Oh, yes, give a hundred out last night. What was that? What letters was that? L's. All right. I believe we called. What did we call... From 1 last night, didn't we? We called from number 1.
Let's go somewhere else and call some from out of there tonight. Let's call from 50. Who has prayer card number 50? Raise up your hand. Prayer card 50? Is it a--that man? Stand right up over here, sir. Let's call 51. Who has prayer... 51. All right. Who has 52? Prayer card 52? Have you, young lady? Prayer card 53? Would you raise your hand? 53? 54? All right. 54, you, sir? 55? 56? 57? 58? 59? 60?
Billy, get some ushers, and come over here, so you can keep the line straightened out, will you? Gene or... Are you--you're on the recording? Brother Wood, would you come, and give us some help, or some of you? All right.

L-70 Now, while they're lining up, let me get--let me talk to you just a moment. Now, you that have to go for the next fifteen or twenty minutes, I wish you'd do it now, so you won't disturb. See, each one of you is a soul, and when you be get in contact with the Spirit...
Let me ask you something. To give you a--a letter that was given me. I opened it up and the woman may be here right now. If she is, I want her to raise her hand. Is--is there a place called Big Mountain, or Kings Mountain, or some kind of a place like that? It... What is it? Kings Mountain. That's where she's from. I just got the letter. She was down, come to the meeting down at Spindale. She wrote me a letter.
She said, "Reverend Branham, I was read--read your book," and said... What is it? "I read your book," and said, "I was so amazed that I said, 'I'm going to write to Brother Branham and have him to pray over a prayer cloth, if I knowed where he was at.'" Said, "I'll just send it to Jeffersonville and have him to..." 'Cause she was crippled and had cancer in the bowels, and she said, "I just got through reading it."
