<TITLE>13. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 I said, "Dr. Best, I beg your pardon. I'm a Baptist myself." And I said, "I would like to show you something." I said, "There's at least three hundred Baptist ministers, pastors of this city; I'm going to ask that people in this city, members of them Baptist churches can show by a doctor's statement, that they've been healed by Jesus Christ in these last eight days that I've been here, and can come here at this platform, bringing their doctor to prove their healing, stand on your feet." And three hundred stood up. I said, "It isn't the people; it's blind leaders." I said, "Sir..."
He said...
I said, "Sir, I cannot heal people." I said, "Do you believe your ministry's inspired?"
And he said, "Yes."
I said, "This is inspired." I said, "I--I--I do not heal people, but if what my--if what I have said is in question, about the Holy Spirit, Him being the Healer," I said, "I will not be able to come against you. You're just out of college and smart. And I have no education, but I have Someone that's confirming what I say." I said, "If my word's in question," then I said, "it's God's Word in question. For I'm just saying what He promised." Thank God that God will take care of His own Word.
And about that time, here He come, circling down. People begin fainting, and they won't let them take pictures while I'm in prayer. And the--Mr. Best had hired a photographer to take six pictures of him.

L-37 Now, here's the remark he made: "I'm going over there and take that old man, old man Bosworth, and I'm going to skin him, and take his hide, and tack it on my study door for a commemoration of Divine healing in this day."
Now, right there showed the man wasn't right in his heart. And we just after--before the meeting, he turned Mr. Bosworth like this, and he took his fist and put it under his nose, said, "Now, take my picture." And then he took his hands like this, and said, "Now, take my picture." And they got six of those pictures just like it, for his--to show his debate in his magazine.
Brother Bosworth just stood humbly, let him take the pictures.

L-38 And then when this Angel came down, that photographer had that great machine set, and he shot the picture. And when He come down, people screaming, I said, "I will have to speak no more. He speaks in my place." I went out. The policeman helped me to the car.
The photographers taking the pictures, and went over... One of them was a Jew; the other one was Catholic, the two photographers working for the Douglas Studios in Houston, Texas. And they're a member of the association, and they went in--they went into the studio, and they said, "We'd better get these glossies out for Mr. Best; he wants them tomorrow."
The Jew, Mr. Ayers, went upstairs and laid down. And the other man went in and put the pictures in the acids, come back was smoking a cigarette, and he begin to think, he said, "You know, if that man was only Catholic, he could be true." Said, "Maybe he is." Says, "Because his parents behind him (my people before me) were Catholic, and that man could have been right. But he can't be right and be a protestant." He goes in... And the day before he'd wrote an awful article in the paper about me, and then he went in and pulled the pictures out of the acid. One, two, three, four, five, six, none of them took. God wouldn't permit a picture to be taken of him shaking his fist under that sainted old man's face. And he pulled out the seventh, and there was the Angel on the picture. He had a heart attack and fell.
