<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>56-1125M, A Secondhanded Robe, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 57 min
L-1 I was talking with the pastor. I said... I asked him yesterday to call me; and I come to find out, I just... All day long there was no calls, and I thought, "Well, wonder what's wrong? Something's... Everything's so peaceful." And after while Sister Wood come up with a handful of calls; my phone had went out. So if any of you had called... The phone rings, but it wouldn't echo in there; so the trouble was down at the switchboard. They fixed it about eight o'clock last night, or maybe a little before that, and the phone... The calls are coming through now.

L-2 We're happy to be in this service this morning. I got an awful cold, that usually I get when I come home. Wade around in snow up to your waist, and sleep out at night, never think of it away from here, but just cross that hill there at New Albany is all you have to do is get in this valley, then I got a bad cold. And it's... I don't know; there's something right in the valley here that keeps us down, and as low, and it just don't agree with me at all.
Now, we're happy to be at the church, as I said, and to be hearing our dear good pastor offer his word of petition for us, and--to the Lord Jesus. And--and to hear... Sad to hear so many sick and needy, and how the devil is on the rampage making everybody sick.
And--and a little lady raised up about her sister back there. And I know Sister Sires down there, was with her. The doctor sent her home to die now. And she still believes she's going to be healed. And she's in a serious, very serious condition, my mother-in-law, the same way. Seventy years old now, she's in very bad condition. And certainly a lot of sickness around the country. And then there is a Holy Spirit around the country (You see?) that heals our sickness, if we can only find favor with Him.

L-3 And now, being that my throat is sore, not sore, but it's raw, and I'm not going to try to preach but just speak to you awhile from the Word, and then go into praying for the sick, which I'd promised to do. But just before doing this, I would like to announce some more meetings. I... In my services I have had kind of a little opposition of, not opposition, but just a little misunderstandings. And many times I--I don't have that outlet to my service as--as many of the other brothers on the field has, such as radio, and television, and magazines, and so forth. And in doing so, why, someone'd say, "Brother Branham's to be here."... Now, I'm advertised in three places for this week, just today, three different places: One down in Kentucky, two in California, that I know of. And there's nothing you can do about it, 'cause I haven't got any other official outlet; so it makes it kinda hard.

L-4 And if there happened to be someone from down around Madisonville, Kentucky, here, I was announced to be down there last week, and I didn't know nothing about it. And I come home, and--and they had announced it, and the brother that did it by the name of Ethings, I believe that was his name, with all good faith he did it. He called me and asked if we could just drop down to--to be a blessing and get a blessing from his people. And he called; I told him to ask Brother Moore. Well then, I had to leave. I told him I had to leave the same day. Well, Brother Moore failed to let anyone know. And when... Or let me know or let my wife know. So I was up in Idaho and just come back and the meeting was on. So--so I seen during that... It can't make arrangements from Louisiana for things that's going on here. So I just took over the arrangements myself, to make my own arrangements for the meetings until my meetings has... I just kindly...
Oh, I don't know, I think confession's good for the soul, don't you think so? I just been too dilatory about these things. And just letting anyone anywhere just haphazardly let it go. And I find out it doesn't pay. After a long time you put... You have to have some system to it.
