L-259-303 I want to first thank each one of you who'd got the message to pray for the wife. She's been very, very sick. We didn't know what it was, and don't know what taken place; it just a severe vomiting, and she was practically unconscious, and fever of a hundred and five, and had to keep her wrapped in ice blankets. So... But she's all right now. The fever's all gone, and she's okay. So she's awfully weak, lost about ten pounds, I suppose. She hasn't... Tonight she swallowed her first bite since Sunday. And so she's been very sick, and we trusted the Lord for her, and He has brought her through. Now, we want to tell you to continue to pray she'll gain her strength back.

L-259-304 And now, this coming weekend, the Lord willing, I've got to go to Miami. My old friend, Brother Bosworth, is going home, and he's nearly a hundred years old now. And he called me and said, "Brother Branham, come see me right at once; I want to tell you something before I go." And he... Why, I think he wants to pray for me, and just lay his hands on me before he leaves, you know.
And I--I hope that I can end my days with a reputation like F. F. Bosworth. Of all the men I know in the world, every man I've ever met in the world, I've never met a man that I was so desirous to be like, like F. F. Bosworth, as--as a minister, what I mean. I have never heard one person worldwide, anywhere, ever make one statement about F. F. Bosworth but what was just exactly everything Christian, and everything a real brother.
Partings leave behind us footprints on the sands of time. He's a wonderful brother, and he's real old now, near a hundred. So he's--he's just going home; that's all. And he told me. He knew he was going, and was just waiting. He said the sweetest time of his life is right now when he's just waiting, but said he'd know that he was going.

L-259-307 I said, "I'm supposed to go Michigan this week, Brother Bosworth."
And he said, "Well, don't make it too long, Brother Branham; I can't last much longer. I'm getting weaker all the time."
So he's been too much of a friend to me, not to go down. Now, if I have to fly down, I'll--I'll fly back and maybe be back for at least for Sunday night; if not, well, then I'll have to drive, and may take me a little longer.
And pray for Brother Bosworth. Just pray that God, and when He takes the old patriarch, that He'll just send a chariot of fire and pick him up. See? I love him; he's been like a daddy to me.

L-260-311 Another old man, him and brother Seward... I--I kinda partial to old people; I--I love them. Old Brother Seward, he went to sleep like that too. 'Course, Brother Seward wasn't quite as old, I don't think, as Brother Bosworth.
And pray for Brother Bosworth. Everything's not roses around the place, but it's--it's... He needs your prayers, but not so much for nothing but just his--that God will let him go in peace.

L-260-313 Now... And then we want to remember also, that tomorrow, the Lord willing, we bury one of our friends from this church, Brother Sol Coates. He's been here several times, worked in the post office for years. And he died over at the Veterans hospital the other night. Brother Cox and I went over to see him, and he'd--pretty low. And he's gone on now, a Christian. And we're to bury him from Coot--Coots' funeral home tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock, Brother Neville and I. Neville trio will be singing; and we'll be dividing up the services, Brother Neville and I. That is, I didn't know when we made the arrangements just what, and on account of Meda. And so then his funeral will be tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock at Coots' funeral home.
