<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>59-1220M, Conference With God, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 124 min
L-1 Hoarse, we've had such a wonderful time this week. This has been a great week of blessings for me. And I'm sure it has for you also, many of you here. Many has received the Holy Ghost, and that was our purpose in this meeting.
The reason we didn't advertise it way out, was on the account of--of no place to put the people. See? We just... Night after night, the people just go away. That's our local people, and we just mentioned among our folks here.
And about the contribution just now for the baskets, that was meant for our local people, how... That's our church thing. This is our regular Sunday school. See? And they... 'Course, if anyone wanted to help in that manner, we are--we'd be sure that it's taken to the needy. We have families in this city that don't have nothing, won't have nothing for Christmas. They're depending on this church. And so, that way, why, they'll... It'll go for that purpose. The... One of the deacons, just tell them what it's for, or my sister back there will take it.

L-2 Now, I hear we've already had baptismal service this morning. They kindy beat me to that, didn't they? Well, then we'll just have another one tonight. And so, and have two of them. So we suppose, at least the pool will be filled. For immediately after the service tonight, there will be another baptismal service. And some of them, they said, would have to be baptized. So Billy run up a few minutes ago and told me, said, "Don't come right away, because that Brother Neville had to baptize first." And said there were many people there who had to go right away. And they wasn't sure we was going to have baptism this morning.
Remember, this pool is always open, always, any time, any hour of the day or night, ready for baptism. Other ministers come in here use this pool to baptize in. So we're very glad of that.

L-3 Here some time ago, the Park Methodist church; I was over there for a--a service of--preaching service. And the lovely brother said, "I was over to Brother Branham's the other day to use that--that... What is it you call that thing?"
I said it'd be hard for a Methodist to say "baptistery." They had a little bowl there that they sprinkle in, you know, just a little thing setting on. I said, "It's too hard a word for a Methodist to say 'baptistery.'" I said that.
He said, "We'd like to have one of them around here. I kinda believe in that."
So remember, the Methodist, the Baptists, the Presbyterian, anybody that wants to use it, there it is. It's open, water's freely.
And we got a little stick, of a little hot-stick we put in there to try to warm it. But I'm telling you now; it doesn't warm it. That's the coldest water I ever felt in my life. And I baptized many times where I'd have to take my foot and kick the ice up the creek, like that, to baptize them, and then walk home, try to walk to where I had to stay--to change my clothes. And my clothes would freeze on me, walking. I just could hardly make my steps; my pants legs was just solid making my steps. And it wasn't as cold as this. That's the coldest water I ever seen in my life. I just never seen any water like that. Brother Kelly, it'd almost freeze me to death every time I get in there. So after... That's right. When you're feeling good... Sister Kelly says when you're feeling good, it don't.
