<TITLE>13. Par 91-95</TITLE>L-91 All of you pray for me while I'm going to California in the meetings; do that now. We're to be now about, between ten or fifteen days at the Angelus Temple, beginning the third.
Then we go from there, one night with the Spanish people in an auditorium in Los Angeles, the sixteenth. Seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth we're at the naval bases at San Diego.
And then we go from there to San Jose. That's thirty miles out from Oakland, because we couldn't get the arena we had last year. They're having ice skating there. And we got the fair grounds, which will seat around, I guess, maybe twenty thousand people. And they got sixty-one full Gospel churches signed up for the meeting. And so we're expecting a great time there for about two weeks. The Lord bless you. And pray for me now.

L-94 [Brother Neville says, "I just want to make this little announcement, that some of our brethren are going to take out the partition in that room back there for tonight, will be possible to seat one hundred more people..."

L-95 ... observe whatever things Thou has commissioned... Upon the dedication this my brother and his confession... Jesus as his full heart...?... in the Jesus... [There is trouble with the recording with parts missing; the conversation with each person being baptized is not always distinguishable due to the background noise--Ed.]
What is your...?... You might wait until...?... let them be standing right in...?...
Oh, cold awfully cold...?... We have a thing here...?...
What is your name, sister? ["Mrs. Helen Kennard."--Ed.] From where? ["Jeffersonville... I'm Opal Weaver's daughter."] Opal Weaver's daughter. And your mother was saved from death, wasn't it? Opal Weaver, she had cancer. Yeah, well, you wouldn't be the nurse that was down there that day when I come in there? One of her daughters was studying for a nurse. ["I might have been."] Yeah. When I went in to pray for her that night down there... ["Yeah. Oh, I been with her several times when you first prayed for her."] Fine. Mrs. Kennard, have you been baptized before? ["I been sprinkled."] Sprinkled...?... Now, just look this way, Mrs. Kennard. All right...?... [The baptistery curtain is opened.]
Is your mother out there? [Sister Kennard says, "She's over there."--Ed.]
This is Mrs. Kennard. And to the church folks here, this is Sister Opal Weaver's daughter.
And all of you know Opal Weaver, the what taken place in her life. She was merely a skeleton with cancer; the doctors had give her up. And Mrs. Weber next door, which is a relative of hers, one day when I come in from the west for a meeting, asked me to go down there and see Mrs. Weaver. Mrs. Weaver said, "Brother Branham, I'm not worthy that a servant of Christ come in my house, because I'm a sinner." And she didn't talk too much about Divine healing, but she talked about her sins. She didn't want to meet God a sinner. And there she had give her life to God. And was--come to this pool, so reely and rocky, with little bitty limbs and arms, until she would look like a skeleton, walking in this water to be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. She's standing there weeping now, as she watch her daughter going for the same baptism that she was.
Are you--you're standing there, aren't you, Mrs. Weaver? Will you step out, just so they can see what she looks like now. Many years ago, a skeleton of about forty pounds. This is her daughter going down in the same pool, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
