<TITLE>09. Par 33-36</TITLE>L-33 How I'm thinking tonight of an old man laying yonder, in his last hours of this life, called the other day and wants me to preach his funeral, Paul Rader's tabernacle. That's my good friend F. F. Bosworth, a godly saint going to meet his Maker. And he said, "This is the happiest time of my life, Brother Branham." He said, "I'm so happy to know that I'm going to meet Him; I can't hardly sleep at night."
I've heard of Mrs. Aimee McPherson, no disregard to a wonderful woman. I've seen marks and this and that. I've seen marks of Smith Wigglesworth, and Doctor Price, and many of those great men, but not one mark did I ever hear anyone say about F. F. Bosworth. God, let my end be like that: a memorial of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.

L-34 I think of E. Howard Cadle up here not long ago, when he was laying across the floor as a drunken sot and the--and the flies a blow in his mouth. And his dear old mammy down yonder had prayed, and believed, and held onto God for her drunkard boy. There, when he left the world, he left a testimony and a memorial of the grace of Almighty God that's sufficient. When God's Word is placed to him in prayer, God's got to answer for that.

L-35 God's building a church as a memorial, a memorial of His sacrifice. Christ never come to earth to die in vain. His death will not be in vain. God's able of these stones to rise children to Abraham. If people won't live in it, they won't take it under consideration and realize what a great gift that God's give them, God's able of the stones to rise children to Abraham. Truly, He will do it.
And when I think of that, and think of the great price that He had to pay. Now, good... Everybody wants everything free, wants every... That's the American way of life today: get everything you can for nothing. Brother, you get nothing that's worth anything for nothing; you pay for what you get. That's right. You have to pay for it, and it comes dear. And your salvation comes dear to God. It cost His only begotten Son to give Eternal Life to every man and make him happy tonight and live for things that's worthwhile living for. Not for to leave something to our children, no inheritance can be left greater than the salvation of our Lord Jesus. Certainly, it's not.

L-36 Now, great prices is paid. Time testing must come on. It's time-tested memorials. And the only memorial that's ever been tested right, has been God's Word. Oh, infidels has tried to put it out. They've done everything they could do, but It will never be passed away. It can never fail.
Abraham, when he received that memorial of God, "You're going to have a baby by that woman, Sarah," twenty-five years he believed it with all of his heart and denied anything contrary to it, for he knew that God would keep His Word.
Infidels today they rise and try to smear out the Bible. Before you could stop the Bible, you'd have to stop time, before you could do it. Every atheotic work, or every atheotic people, every communistic people, and whatever they are, every Buddha, every Jain, and every Mohammedan has to witness the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ every day. Every time you sign a letter (amen), every time you write the date, you witness that God sent His Son nineteen hundred and fifty-seven years ago. Brother, you couldn't do it, it could never be. "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass."
