L-1 Thank you very much. You may be seated. I'm sorry that I have such a graspy throat today. But this is four months straight in service. And now, it just seems like it just going from one to another. I wonder if you can hear me? Can you hear me all right? Can you hear me up in the balcony? Fine.
I'm... I guess my zeal is eating up my wisdom. And I preach a lot, then all the hours I pray, and then another thing I get hot real easy and... when I'm speaking, and...
As I was saying last night about my hair coming out, that's not a natural thing. That was an accident. A barber did it. He was going to put some stuff on my hair to take the dandruff out. It did: carbolic acid. So medicine's all right, but you want to know who's giving it to you. One dose killed my father. So... And one treatment fixed me all up. So just know who's giving it.
That's the same way I think about salvation. I want to know where it comes from. I want to know if somebody's talking about it that's had an experience of what they're talking about. That's what makes it so real, when Jesus becomes so real to us.

L-2 I'm--I'm standing probably a little too close to this. [Brother Branham coughs--Ed.] A little more conscious of my hoarseness than I guess that I should be. But as far as I know I don't have no cold. It's just preach, preach four months straight all the way from the frozen regions of the north to the jungles of the south. And just change one day in one place and in a couple of days somewhere else. And that does it. Constantly speaking outside in all kinds of weather.
So we're happy to be here. Happy to be in Carolina. This has been indeed to me a great thrilling time to visit the Carolinas. And as I said the other night, I believe like that the wine at the wedding supper; they're all left the best for last. I don't mean that any disregards to other states. They've all been very nice. And rest the whole world, that I visited, has been very nice. But I've certainly... The Carolina people has found a warm place in my heart that'll be there until I meet you in the rapture.
This little pastor here, Brother Jeffery, what a wonderful little character. He and Brother, I believe, Parson and Brother Bigby, the three pastors that I've met in the association that... in these revivals. How wonderful they've been to me. How I appreciate them all. So glad that Carolina has ministers like that.

L-3 Just got a chance a few minutes ago to shake hands with some of the clergyman behind me. Just a good old warm pump-handle handshake. I like it like that, don't you? We--we forgot that.
I hope my wife forgives me. She's setting back there. I'd call her up here, but she'd faint. She's so bashful. She's like me. So...
I was very bashful once, but I had to get out of it for the Lord. So... But she is very bashful. And I called her on the platform one time... She seen me go into visions many times at the house. She'd just step out of the room.
But the first time she was ever on the platform was a few months ago. Mr. Moore kinda tricked her into it and got her to the platform when the anointing had already come on. She said, "I--I don't desire to be around that no more."
