<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>57-0324, Why Some People Can't Keep The Victory, Oakland Municipal Auditorium, Oakland, CA, 99 min
L-1 And we were discussing about my leaving on either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning to begin down in Wichita, Kansas, for Friday. I told them I couldn't get through the north because of the snow. And we was thinking hearing that song start, "Only Believe." And I looked over at him and I said, "Nation after nation, tongues and people has that song called me to the platform for the past ten years or more." And I said, "When... If I'd go before the Lord Jesus comes, it is fixed that when they're putting me into the ground, they're going to stand and sing "Only Believe" while I'm going into the ground." I said, "I hope when, if I get to come to heaven that we'll be singing it when we get there, those who's passed on." For that's truly what I believe, is the Lord Jesus.

L-2 Now, we're... The handkerchiefs and things to be prayed over... That is such a--a great expression of--of faith of the people. There's so many things that I could say would be... A bigger part of my ministry, almost, is sending out these handkerchiefs and things because I contact more people. And I have... It's been said many times, "Brother Branham, Brother Roberts, or Brother Allen, or some of those other men will pray for five hundred while you're getting three or four." Well, that's perhaps true. But you know, they're doing what God tells them to do, and I'm doing what God tells me to do. So I... My ministry is a little different. But I contact a lot of people in this a way, by the--the handkerchiefs, and aprons, and little cloths. And you're welcome to send to my home any time, if you wish for them, just: Jeffersonville, Indiana, Post Office Box 325. But if just Jeffersonville, it'll come to me. And then... So we're happy, and we send it out to, oh, thousands of them weekly, all over the world. And a great success has been done of people believing and having faith in God for their healing.

L-3 And now, we will pray over these before leaving this afternoon, and you can get them. But if you happened not to put one up here, just write to my place. It'll be sent to you absolutely free. There's no--there's no charges on nothing that we have, not a thing. No services is charged, no charges for anything. We got some books. The boys told me a few minutes ago, there's just about a half a box left for Monday... We won't sell them on Sunday. And the pictures, just a few of those left, for Monday and Tuesday. And then... We buy those from the ones who print them. And we give them out for what we buy them at forty cents less. Bring them... People hasn't got the money and they want them anyhow, we give them to them anyhow. God makes it up some way. So there's no prices on nothing. Just feel free to send for anything, or anything we can help you to make life a little better for you, make trials a little easier, that's what I'm here to do. I'm here to do it.

L-4 Wish that I could personally go home with each one of you and talk with you awhile. I--I'd like to do that, but I can't do it. I just can't. But I'm sure you understand that. So there's one thing you--you can all do for me: that's pray for me. 'Cause that's the thing that I need more than anything I know of, is prayer.
I'm very hoarse. And I've been going so long, as I say, for four months now hardly without a night off, just going all the time, with preaching, praying for the sick. And it's... Certainly you can tell a difference after you've preached that long. You can imagine, then the healing services is twice as hard on me as what the preaching is.
