<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 Now, friends, I didn't know then what a duchess is. I don't know any more today. I don't know what one is. But it was some kind of a woman back there, and she was dressed, "Oh, my. Whew." She had enough jewels on her arms to send a dozen missionaries around the world twice. That's not necessary.
And she had a pair of specks on a stick, holding it out there that far from her. Now, you know nobody could see through glasses that far away from you. And she was looking out like that. And she said, "Are you Doctor Branham?"
I said, "No ma'am; I--I'm not." Said, "Brethren call me, Brother Bill."
And she said--had her hand like this; she said, "I'm charmed to meet you."...?... just shoved out her hand.
Pulled it down. I said, "Well, sister, get it down here, so I'll know you."

L-9 You know, I just wonder how people put-on like... After all, you're just six foot of ground.
I was standing by Biggett Museum here sometime ago. I love art, music. And in this museum there was two young fellows looking at an analysis of a human body of a man that weighed a hundred and fifty pounds. You know how much you're worth if you weigh a hundred and fifty pounds? You're worth eighty-four cents. You got enough whitewash about you to sprinkle a hen's nest, just a little bit of calcium and so forth, just worth eighty-four cents.
Think of it sister, putting a thousand dollar mink coat on, nose turned up, if it'd rain, you'd drown. And thinking you're somebody when you're only worth eighty-four cents.
That body took... That boy over there said "Well..." One looked over and said, "John, we're not very much after all, are we?"
I thought this was my chance. I tapped him on the back. I said, "That's truly, boys. But you got a soul that's worth ten thousand worlds." That's right. "Take care of that soul, let the eighty-four cents go. Watch that soul for it'll live forever." And that's true friends.

L-10 Now, with this is mind... And I--I'm ashamed to even try to read that same text again. I been two times on it, never did get to it. You're such a wonderful audience I believe could stay on that same text six months.
I remember one time in my church at home, I preached nearly a year on Job. And I had him on the ash heap back there for about four months. Some nice lady, very diplomatic one, she was too nice to just to come up and tell me. But she wrote me a nice little letter. She said, "Reverend Branham, I--I'm sure enjoying every one of them messages. But when are you going to get Job off the ash heap?"
Well, I was waiting for a climax. Got several souls to the altar when Job went off the ash heap. I just love the Old Testament. It's in nuggets. And every one of them point to Christ Jesus at Calvary.

L-11 Now, friends, if there's been any blessing or anything that our time has been. We don't know unless we're led to places. And I know it's been a blessing to us. Not only have you been blessed, but we've been blessed by coming. And now, I trust to God, that the meetings will mean lots to you, and that you people who have been saved will join some good spirit filled church. And all these pastors, I pray that their ministry will be blessed exceedingly, abundantly. All you people prosper in health.
God bless you all till I see you again. Pray for me. And if I have to go before I see you again, I want you to do me a favor. If I go and my body can be buried, when they let me down in the ground, they're going to sing, 'Only believe.' So if you hear on the radio or the news or somewhere that I'm gone, stop just a few minutes and hum, 'Only Believe.' I believe I'll come out from among the dead someday.
