<TITLE>04. Par 13-17</TITLE>L-13 Brother Stricker and Sister Stricker, I realize that you know what that song means to bring them in. Burning desire's in your heart to try to bring the lost to Jesus. Your little baby, if it was to die before it was dedicated, or whatmore, it's saved anyhow, because the Blood of Jesus Christ did that at Calvary. But in commemoration of His great earthly journey when He laid His hands upon the little ones, He said, "Suffer them to come to Me." That's why you bring the baby this morning. And placing the confidence in us, that we would be able to pray a prayer of faith for the little one in dedication of its life to God.

L-14 What's its name? Marilyn Madge. Marilyn Madge Stricker. How old is it? Thirteen months. Born in Africa, is that right? Well, may if there is a tomorrow, may this little one be a missionary over there to the fields where she was borned at. And a--a beautiful little child. Would you come, Brother Neville if you...?... 
Oh, my. I always liked these little fellows. Isn't this a pretty little fellow? How do you do? How do you do? Let us bow our heads now as we pray for the little one.
Our heavenly Father, we bring to You little Marilyn Madge Stricker, this lovely little child that was born on the mission fields when the battles were blowing hard. I pray that You'd bless this child. In the Bible they brought... You said for the little ones, You put Your hands on them and blessed them up and said, "Suffer little children to come to Me. Forbid them not for such is the Kingdom of heaven."

L-15 The mother and father places it into our arms today. We by faith, bind the snares, place it into Your arms by faith. Bless her life. Give her a long life, Lord. May she be a child of God. May she serve You with all of her life, every fiber of her being be a servant of Christ. Grant it, Lord Jesus. Bless her father and mother, her little brothers and sisters. May they raise up also, and be a glorious family to the service of God.
Father, we give little Marilyn Madge to You in the Name of Jesus Christ for a mighty servant. Bless her, and her father, and her mother, and her loved ones, and may they live long happy lives in Your service in Jesus' Name. Amen.
God bless you, Brother Stricker. Yes, she's a fine little lady.
Thank you, Teddy boy. I love little children, don't you?

L-16 How many never did hear the vision the Lord gave me? Let's see your hands up that never... Brother Neville, have you got your little book there, perhaps maybe you'd just read it for them right here just for the next moment or two. I believe it... Right here if--if you will.

L-17 [Paragraphs 17 through 25 is Brother Neville reading the following article of Brother Branham's printed in the Full Gospel Business Men's Voice:
The other morning I was lying on my bed. I had just awoke from sleep, and I placed my hands behind my head, and relaxed with my head on the pillow. Then I began to wonder what it will be like on the other side. I realized that I have lived more than half my life, if I live to be as old as my people. And I wanted to do more for the Lord, before I left this life.
I heard a Voice, saying, "You're just starting. Press the battle. Keep pressing." As I lay these pondering... they there pondering these words, I thought, that I just imagined that I heard a voice.
Again the Voice said, "Press the battle. Keep going. Keep going."--Ed.]
