<TITLE>17. Par 63-67</TITLE>L-63 Now as we was down in the South, and watching the--the slaves, they come by one day to get a... buy slaves. And they would buy them because that they were... trade them from one to another. And one time they'd have to beat them slaves sometimes, and make them work, because they were homesick and away from their home.
And you know what happened one day? A buyer come by, like a broker, and was going to buy a slave. And when he noticed out there, he said, "How many slaves you got?"
He said. "About one hundred and fifty."

L-64 He went out to look at them, and all that bunch of slaves out there. And he said... They noticed all of them weary, but one young man. Brother, they didn't have to whip him. He had his chest out, chin up, right about the business. And that buyer said, "I want to buy him."
He said, "Oh, no." Said the owner, "He's not for sale."
Said, "Well, what..." said, "he's--he's different from the rest of them." Said, "Is he a boss?"
He said, "No. He's a slave."
Said, "Do you feed him different than you do the rest of them?"
Said, "No. He eats out in the galley, with the rest of the slaves."
He said, "Then what makes him so much different than the rest of them?"
He said, "I wondered once myself what made him different." He said, "I found out that over in the homeland, where they came from, his father is the king of the tribe. And though he's away from home, yet he knows his father is a king so he conducts himself like a king's son." Oh, what a lesson that ought to be for us!

L-65 Women, stop cutting your hair; start living like Christian women. Men, quit the things that you're doing. The Christian Church should conduct itself like sons and daughters of the King, living godly in this present world. Do you believe that? Let us bow our heads just a moment, now.
Would there be someone here that does not know Christ as their Saviour, and would like to be a... to receive this balm in Gilead?
Now, I will tell you, doctors' medicines, sometimes, if--if you fail to take it, you might die. And again, you might get well. But there's one thing sure. If you refuse this balm of Gilead, God's medicine for sin, you're sure to die. You're just going to die. And remember, it's not just for one, and then not for the other. It's for "whosoever will may come and drink from the waters... the fountains of the waters of life freely."

L-66 If you'd like to be remembered in closing prayer, would you raise up your hand, say, "Remember me, Brother Branham. I want to be remembered."
God bless you, God bless you, and you, you, you, many around here. Now that's fine. That's good. Now, sister, to you with this little boy here, you believe with all your heart, and he will never have another one. All right. You believe. He snapped out of it just that second, you see. God took it off of him, when he was beating his little face, and trying to get him to wake up. Feel better, sonny? Sure. Now you'll be all right. Just believe and it'll never come again.
God, what can wash away my sins? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus. Christ, the great Healer, the great Physician is near. See, it's... There is a balm in Gilead for the sin-sick soul. There's a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole.

L-67 Would you come now, while we have our heads bowed. You that does not have the baptism of the Holy Spirit, does not know Christ as your Saviour, would you come up here, and stand here? Let's pray together before we change the order of the meeting. You go right back to your seat, if you'll just come up.
How many would like to say this, "I'm coming, Brother Branham." God bless you, lady. God bless you, young man. That's it. God bless you, sir. That's right. Come right around here. The same God that could heal that little boy of epilepsy can take away sins. Of course, He can. See. Will you come?
