<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 And then we go from there up to--up into Minneapolis, Minnesota, for ten nights. Leo, I know you didn't know that, and I didn't either. But here's what did it. Brother Leo... If it hadn't been for these two loyal friends of mine, Leo and Gene, who came in and told me that Gordon Peterson was broadcasting over the Canada and United States that I was to be there beginning the tenth, I wouldn't have even knowed the meeting was there. I never heard nothing about it.
And there's one way that not having an outlet gets me in trouble. The people think I'm dishonest. But as long as the Lord knows better, that's all that matters. But I've been advertised four or five places at one time and never knowed nothing about it. See?

L-10 Here not long ago I was in Germany. There was a lady from over in Virginia called my wife and she said, "We're sure sorry to hear that Brother Branham is ill." Said, "You think he will be here tomorrow night?"
Why, she said, "Honey, I didn't know he was ill." And said... Well, said, "Sister so-and-so somebody had a church over there, rented a big auditorium." Said, "The place was packed out." And said, "Brother Branham was to be here last night, and she waited and waited..." Said, "Well, the Lord gave her a message so she went ahead, and preached, and prayed for the sick." And she said, "Wait, I'll be back in a little bit and find out why Brother Branham didn't come." So she come back a little bit, said, "I talked to--to him a few moments ago, and he said he was just feeling so bad he, that he couldn't come for tonight, but he would be sure to be here tomorrow night, so all of you come back."
Well, she said, "Honey, that's wrong. Brother Branham's been two weeks in Germany preaching, and got two or three more weeks to stay there." So there you are. And you have that.

L-11 And I--I knowed not... God being my soul judge, I never knew one thing about this meeting out there till Leo and Gene come and told me that they were broadcasting it in Canada and everywhere. And I've never heard nothing about it yet. So then, I called up Brother Moore, and I said, "Brother Moore, you know anything about it?"
"No."
Well, I said, "Well, Brother Leo and Gene told me that I--I was advertised." So he gets a hold of Mr. Peterson, said, "Hallelujah. Yes, Lord said so." And he's done put it...

L-12 Well, I, to--to try to save my neck, I had to cancel out Sister Coe's meeting. I was going over there where Brother Jack Coe just passed away. You know about it. And that woman really is in need, with a big five hundred thousand dollar law suit on her, and everything else. And--and she really needs some help to hold her little flock together.
And I was going down there to give her some help. I hadn't promised yet, but it was in the making. I'd already sent somebody to see about it. She'd called me and ask me. I said, "Let me pray over it, Sister Coe." And--and... Or Brother Grant called me, and so I said, "I'll call you back." And I told Brother Jack go over there...
Jack called me, said, "Brother Branham," said, "it's already advertised, bills out and everything else." Said, "Christian Businessman looking every morning, the sixteenth, for the Christian Businessman's breakfast."
Well, I said, "Call Sister Coe then, tell her I won't be able to make it. I'll have to do that."
