<TITLE>16. Par 59-62</TITLE>L-59 Now, don't you never mess with a doctor's prescription. Brother, when they study that prescription out, they put just so much poison in there, then enough antidote. If you'd put too much antidote, won't do your patient no good. If you put too much poison in, it'll kill your patient. Now, if you're... If the doctor writes out a prescription, you better take it to the right kind of a pharmacy that'll fill it out right, or you could get killed by it.
That's what's the trouble today. You got too many quack pharmacists around. Amen. That's right. Fill it out the way it was wrote. Just the way He wrote it, that's the way to keep it. That's what he said to do.
So, that's what's the matter... there's too many dead children, too many dead churches, is because they don't want that baptism of the Holy Ghost no more. They don't want it. They want to add something instead--and shake the preacher's hand, or something or other, become a deacon, or--or sing in the choir, or do something else like that, is take its place.
Those things are all right, but, brother, it ain't the--it ain't the toxin. God's Holy Spirit is the toxin. Yes, sir. And it makes a new creature out of you. It makes a new person out of you. It straightens you up, and makes you what you ought to be. It makes your character different. What's the matter with our churches today? Why...

L-60 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... bigger race of people, larger race, heavier slaves to work. Old Abraham Lincoln took off that hat, and stuck it under his arm, and said, "That's wrong. That's wrong. Man's a human being. He's not a horse." So he said, "By the help of God, I will hit it someday, if it takes my life."

L-61 Here not long ago I was standing in a museum. An old colored man, just a little rim of white hair, was going along there looking for something. He looked over in that glass, seen that... He jumped back, shut his eyes, and the tears begin running down his old wrinkled cheeks. He was praying. I watched him for a little bit.
After awhile I walked over to him. I said, "How do you do, Uncle?"
He said, "How do you do, sir?"
And I said, "I noticed you praying." I said, "I'm a minister. I just wondered what excited you."
He said, "Come here."
I looked over there, and I said, "I don't see nothing; just a dress."
He said, "But do you see that stain on there?" He said, "That is the blood of Abraham Lincoln." He said, "And right here on my side is the marks of a slave belt." He said, "That blood took the mark... took that slave belt off of me."
And said, "If that..."
I thought, "If a--a--a man that had a slave-belt on him, and the blood of Abraham Lincoln took the slave-belt off of him, what ought the Blood of Jesus Christ do to a borned again church?" Why, it took the slave-belts of sin off of us, and brought us into the Kingdom of God; and took all the evil stuff away from us, and inoculated us, and give us of His blessings, and of His Power--that we might live the Life of Jesus Christ, and not be associated any more with the things of the world. Oh, my! What a difference it ought to make with every one of us! But, the thing of it is, we don't want it. We don't want to--we don't want to fool with it. We're--we're tired of it. Certainly.

L-62 [Brother Branham is interrupted--Ed.] A little boy--epilepsy--I suppose they had him here to be prayed for. Is that right, sister? All right. You believe with me now. Satan, leave that child. Come out of him in the Name of Jesus Christ. Would you interrupt my message, Satan? You evil thing, come out of that child. I adjure thee by the Living God, pass from him. Now there it is. All right? Now I will continue on.
