<TITLE>12. Par 33-35</TITLE>L-33 And then when they did that, they was afraid of a riot, so then the police moved up. And then--and then he said this: "Let me see that healer perform. Bring forth the healer. Let me see him do it."
Brother Bosworth said, "Brother Branham don't claim to heal people." He said...
Brother Bosworth had spotted me. He said, "I know he's here, but he wouldn't argue with people." But he said, "If--if--if he wants to come and dismiss the audience, all right." Said... Because Mr. Best, had already lost the debate, the moderators had taken the debate from him, a hundred percent and give it over to the--Mr. Best--Mr. Best--Mr. Bosworth. He couldn't answer his questions. And these were men was not interested in no one, no certain religion. They were swore under oath.

L-34 So then, I said to... Then my brother Howard was setting near me and my wife. (My brother Howard, and my wife.) And--and so I started to raise up, and Howard, my brother, he said, "Set down."
I said, "I'm setting down."
And just a moment I heard something, just like those leaves that day in that tree, making a noise going whew, whew [Brother Branham makes a noise like wind blowing--Ed.] and I looked up, and He was there. Said, "Stand on your feet."
God's great in battle. You should see Him. You ought to see Him in Africa, India, wherever He's challenged to a showdown. Seen Him drop and paralyzed, and witch doctors stand and couldn't move. He's God.
So I--I got up. And my wife said to my brother, "Look at his face. Let him alone."
Many ushers put a line all the way down. The poor people, mothers with little babies trying to touch you. Killed, it hurt... I have children too. They thought that maybe that would help them.

L-35 I come to the platform. I walked over to Mr. Best, shook his hand. I said, "How do you do, Mr. Best."
He said, "Mr. Branham, as a man--as a--as a man, I admire you. But as doctrine, I don't believe you're right."
I said, "That's just the way I feel too." So then, I said, "I'm surprised, Brother Best, that you would make the remark that you did, when you said, 'Let the healer come forth and perform. Let--let him do something, let me see it.'" I said, "Brother Best, don't you understand, that's the same spirit was on the Pharisees? 'If Thou be the Son of God, come down off the cross.' They put a rag around His head--around His face, Jesus, and hit Him on the head with stick, and said, 'If you be the--a prophet, tell us who hit you?' Don't you see, Brother Best, that's the spirit of the devil? Was not it the devil, that said to Jesus, 'If Thou be the Son of God, make bread out of these stones? Perform a miracle, let me see.' God don't do things like that. He doesn't mind the devil." And I said, "You trying take the only hope..."
And he said, "Baptist don't believe such stuff as that." Said, "There's only one class of people that believe that, and that's a bunch of holy-rollers."
