<TITLE>05. Par 16-19</TITLE>L-16 And I said, "But as far as the visions, that's a gift; that's not in question." I said, "If I speak the Truth, God's obligated to vindicate the Truth." And no more than I'd said that, here come that Pillar of Fire, whirling from the air, before thirty thousand people, come down like that.
And the photographer that... They was supposed not to take pictures while the meeting's going on. That great big... the... a camera shot the picture, just to see if they could get it. And it has been seen in many places, but they--they wondered... a newspaper reporter got it on a picture once, but it wasn't authentic, because the newspaper reporter.
And then when they shot that one, Mr. Best walked up, stuck his fist up under Mr. Bosworth's nose and said, "Take my picture like this, just before this, then take it like this." He said, "I'm going to skin that old man, and tack his hide on my study door, for a memorial to divine healing." But you know, when they went in...

L-17 I said, "Now, God has spoken. There's no need for me to speak any more." And I went out. The police helped me to the car. And when I got to the car, went up, about a hour later, they took that...
And the man that take it was a critic; he had wrote in the paper the other day, said, "Mr. Branham hypnotized a goiter off of a woman's throat. I seen him rub his hands like that with hypnotism, and the goiter left." Very much of a critic, and he went home that night, and he said, "You know what? I don't know what to think." He said, "If the man was a Catholic, I'd believe it was right. But not..." Said, "All gifts go to the Catholic church." And he said, "But if he was a Catholic, I would think it was right."

L-18 Then he went on in--in the Douglas Studios; you can... right here is their address and things on the picture. When they went to develop the picture, they taken out the six glossies that they was supposed to have for Mr. Best shaking his fists under that godly, saintly, old man, and every one of them was blank. God wouldn't permit that camera to take the picture with his fist under that saintly man's nose, like that, acting like that. And when they pulled the seventh one out, there was the Angel of the Lord on the picture. Mr. Ayers keeled over in a heart attack. They sent for me.
At eleven o'clock that night, it was on its road to Washington, DC A week later after it was copyrighted, and brought back, George J. Lacy, the head of the FBI, fingerprint and document of the United States, the best there is in the world, he had it for several days in the Shell Laboratory in Houston, Texas.
That day when we all went over there to receive what he would say about it, Mr. Best said, "Whose name's Branham?"
I said, "Mine."
Said, "Stand up." And I stood up, he said, "Come here." I walked up to him. He said, "Mr. Branham," he said, "I've been your critic too, and I've said that that was psychology those people seen." He said, "But the mechanical eye of that camera won't take psychology." Said, "The light struck the lens." And he said, "As far as I know, of all of any age," he said, "the old hypocrite," (which he meant the unbeliever), said, "there couldn't be any scientific proof that there was a supernatural Being," but said, "this picture condemns him. Here is the supernatural Being that was there." The light struck the lens, and he presented the film.
There it is back there now, from the Douglas Studios with his own name signed, and it's in the book also. The only...

L-19 And here a few weeks ago, or a few--few months ago in Germany, they wanted to see if they could get it. And when it was coming down, that big German camera took it coming down, when it was anointed, when it was saying, and when it went away again. The German camera took it.
They took it in Switzerland. That night, I had better than thirty thousand come to Christ at one time.
