<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 I--I'm certainly thankful to the Lord, He--He never put all that on my shoulders, 'cause I couldn't do it. You'd have to beg, bum... I--I... When it gets like that, I--I'm--I'm going back home. See? I quit right then. I just don't do it. When... I've never taken an offering in my life, as I said. There's been some taken for me, each meeting. And then, if people didn't send me a little something besides what I'd--the meeting here, I'd--I'd have to fold up the first week. And so, but I've just got a little business that the Lord has 'lotted me with for His... There's four in the office. There's cloths, there's stamps, about a, I think it's a hundred and fifty, two hundred dollars worth of stamps alone, each week, just stamps. And some of them, overseas, sometimes it takes as much as two and three dollars to send a bundle of handkerchiefs, and so forth. And remember, around the world, and I've been in contact with over ten million people. And you can imagine what it does. We have to make every nickel count, to--to make ends meet. But we're happy to do that for the Lord.
I'm happy for this offering that you gave me tonight. I pray that God will bless you exceedingly, abundantly. And to the best of my knowledge, I'll spend it to the--for the glory of God. And God will reward you for it, I pray, in this world a hundredfold and in the world to come, Eternal Life. May it go to make them golden bricks that's in your great home that'll never perish.

L-6 And we thank Brother Darnell, Brother Littlefield, all these other ministers, how they've cooperated so nicely. Thank you, very kindly.
And now, I suppose, tomorrow morning, the Lord willing, I will be on my road back home.
And now next Sunday night, I'm at my tabernacle, to you people from up around in home. I'll be at the Tabernacle next Sunday morning, it is, in a healing service: Eighth and Penn Street at Jeffersonville. We've been having some wonderful times there, just when I drop in four or five times a year is all I get to be at our little Baptist church there. And so, if you're passing by sometime, we'd be glad for you to knock on our door. Be glad to see you.

L-7 I used to say, the rain don't fall too hard, or the night never gets too dark, but what I would come to you. I wished I could do that, but, my, you'd be surprised how many calls there is comes per hour. I think my wife... On all the phones that can I be called on, four phones, I think, they run around, I think it was thirty-seven long distance calls per hour. Now, you can imagine what it is. That's the world over. See? And you couldn't answer it all. Everyone begging... I've had little mothers to get on the phone and say, "Brother Branham, just wait. I--I'll just pray. The Lord, I know, wants to bring you here."
Here's a great big pile of airplane tickets laying here: "Come here." "Come here." "Come here." You know how it is. But there's never a one call that I can get a hold of, but what, sincerely, I pray for them. The Lord gives visions, sends me places. I just go that way as I'm called. God bless you.

L-8 These handkerchiefs are laying here, are from you sick people or going to some of your loved ones. Sincerely I pray over them. And after service, you can have them.
And now, if you didn't get your handkerchief up here, and you wish we would pray over one, just write me: Jeffersonville, Indiana. I'll send you one absolutely free and postpaid. You just, Jeffersonville, Indiana, and--and just my name, and I'll send it to you. We send out thousands of them a month. And so all over the world. And great signs and wonders has taken place by the people's faith.
