<TITLE>44. Par 444-453</TITLE>L-444 Said, "Where's Luke?" And Luke and Paul stuck together, just like Billy and I, my son. They were brothers, and they stuck together. Said, "Where's Luke?" And Luke didn't want to see his brother die, and he was in the next room there at the hospital. Said, "Go get him, and tell him to come here."
And when he come over to where Paul was, Paul reached over and got his hand and Luke tried to turn his head. He said, "Luke, we've been through a-many a hard battle together. Haven't we, brother?"
Said, "Yes, we have. Through these years, we've toiled, brother. That's right, many hard battle."
But said, "Luke, think of it. In five minutes from now, I'll be standing in the Presence of Jesus Christ, clothed in His righteousness." Squeezed his brother's hands and died. There's nothing uncertain about that. He knowed the way he was going. He knowed. He had the baptism of the Holy Ghost, power of God in his life.

L-448 He used to be a log-man, and he cut down trees and things. And said... He was a missionary too, like I go over the sea. And he and Luke, and them, was down in the islands; they took blackwater fever. If anyone knows what that is, it's death, and it's really bad. So he took blackwater fever. And it was way back in the jungles, where there's nothing. Him and his lovely little wife was there. And you know how he said, I told you the story, how he said, "The last time, had a feeling so that when she kissed him good-bye." And so they were back there. And it got, kept getting dark, darker in the room; he said he knew he was going, or he thought he was.
He told his wife, said, "Honey, it's getting so dark in here." Said, "I'm dying."
And she said, "Oh, Paul, Paul." And she fell on her face and begin crying.
Said, "Honey, just keep crying. Let me let... Keep crying out to God, and let me hear your voice. Let somebody pray. I can't pray any more." Said, "While I'm dying, I want to hear it."

L-453 And she kept crying out to God, "O God, don't let him die. His work isn't finished yet." Keep crying, "O God, please don't let Paul die." She was laying across him, like that.
Got darker and darker. Said, "Darling, it's getting darker and darker, and darker and darker." Finally he passed out. He said, "When I passed out, I dreamed that I was a young man again." Said, "I was up in the forest," up in Oregon where he come from. Said, "I'd fell a tree. The boss said, told me, 'Go up there on top of the hill, Paul, and I want you to fell a certain tree, and so much, and then we got to make some timber.'"
