<TITLE>15. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 Now, don't look for signs for you to believe. Now, we used to, we didn't... You remember when I--I didn't have any prayer cards. I'd just say, "All right. All you want to be prayed for get up." And, oh, my, have fist fights and everything else, and knock one another down, and push one another away. You couldn't do that.
And Brother Bosworth who just went home to glory... How many knowed F. F. Bosworth? Greatest saint of the day as I know. He went home to meet Jesus the other day, way in his eighties. He's at home tonight. Before he died, about an hour, he went into a coma, and raised up, begin shaking hands with the people he preached to years ago that's been gone. Just rejoicing and praising God, saying, "I haven't seen you for years."
Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime, with partings leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time. That's right. Yes. Let my end be like that.

L-53 Now, notice. He said to me, he said, "Brother Branham, if--if you--you--you make like a arena..." Said, "Don't do that." Said, "All my ministry I've give out prayer cards, make them come and let them stay three times before I'd ever pray for them, three meetings for instructions."
Well, I said, "We'll just do that." Printed up a few hundred cards, I said, "We'll go down there." And first thing you know we got somebody down there was giving out prayer cards, and selling them, so I had to stop that.
So then I said, "Well, I'll just send to pastors, each one, so many prayer cards, that's cooperating." Well, the first pastor got his group in, and that started it with hard feelings between the pastors. Couldn't do that.
So I said, "Well, I'll tell you what, we'll just go down and--and give out the prayer cards. And then I'll get somebody... I got my brother to go with me, which I knowed he wouldn't do that. So I sent my brother down. He'd give out the prayer cards, and they got to a place they found out...?... I didn't get over maybe from ten, fifteen, not over twenty-five prayer cards. If their card went above that, they'd just throw it on the floor, "I don't want it. I'll never be called." See?

L-54 Well, then I said, "I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll send the prayer cards down and give the whole thing out in one night, and I'll just call them from that." Then people coming in on the second night, never had a chance to get to the platform. See, that wouldn't work. Oh, we've had a time with it.
Then I said, "I'll tell you what we'll do; we'll just give out the prayer cards..." had to have the prayer cards. I said, "We'll have some little girl or little boy setting there in the front seat to stand up here and start counting. Where he stops counting, or she, that's exactly where we'll start from. Strange as was, mommy had junior to stop right at her number and so forth. So now, that just wouldn't work.
So I didn't know what to do. So one night crossing over to Canada, the Lord gave me a vision, and said, "Go down and give out prayer cards every day, every day. And then when you..." that night, the boys who were giving them out, they could be Brother--Brother...?... will them out, or Leo, Gene, or Billy Paul, my boy, any of them give out the prayer cards.
