<TITLE>19. Par 77-79</TITLE>L-77 Just come in from California the other day. Hadn't got my suitcase in; hadn't been home for two months, right at two months. I got about the second suitcase in, the phone ring; it was a lady. Well, she used to be kind of a girlfriend of mine, years ago when I used to pastor the Milltown Baptist church.
She had two lovely daughters. And she married a fine man, a Brother Huff. And he was a millwright. He'd had it--one of his fingers and thumbs cut off, a very nice brother. And they had-- had two twin--twins and another girl, making three children. And the twins were staunch Christians, they--they were UBE. people, but they--they really believe God. And so they... One little girl, going to school, she got a complex. The girls tell her, "Well, why don't you smoke like we do? You think you're better than we are? Why don't you go to dances?"
Now, they didn't go to dances, nor neither did they smoke or drink. And they made fun of... The healthier girl, she said, "Humph, Let them jump in the river. I'm the one serving Christ. They don't want to, let them go ahead."
But the other one, she begin to think, "Oh, maybe I could do something." And she built a complex, got nervous. She went insane. They had her in a institution two years. And so, they was trying to doctor her, by give her all kinds of stuff and treatments and--and everything. They... It didn't work right.

L-78 So then, when I got in home, they said, "Brother Branham... They got her over to that Catholic institution there, and Monday they're going to send her to Madison. That's a padded cell. That does it."
She's eighteen years old, and a genius. She one of those perfectionists. She even teaches opera, and plays overtures, and teaches music at eighteen years old. See? Just a real smart girl. And so she... a real good Christian... And they couldn't understand it.
And so when they said they was going to put her there into the padded cell, that was all. They give her, I forget how many shock treatments, and that's a shot in the dark, you know, and so it just made her worse. So the doctor said, "There's not a hope for her so we're going to take her to Madison Monday."
And so the little mother said, "I remember our... Brother Branham, used to be down here at... and used to tell us about Christ being a Healer." Said, "I... And I've heard all kinds of newspaper reports and things about where he's been." They was country people way back out in the country and so. And said, "If I could just get a hold..." So they called Jeffersonville, the office, and they said I was in California; be home in a certain day. Said, "Well, that'll just give us..." I think that was on a Friday. When I come in, that'd be Monday, they going to take her away.

L-79 So he went and ask the doctor if I could come over... And the doctor said, "No. Naw. Don't get her worked up." Said, "They... Nothing can be done for it," the psychiatrist and them were there. So they went ahead, and Brother Huff said, "Look." It was a Catholic hospital. Said, "Our--our brother is just like if you was going to give the last rites or something, a priest."
He said, "Well, he's... Nothing can be done." Said, "Let me talk to that preacher."
Said, "All right." And he give him my number. He called; I was out. Said, "Have..." and he told my wife, "Call him back."
I called all day Saturday and all--all night, and up till twelve o'clock Saturday night. he never did come in. I seen he was giving me the dodge (You see?), keep me from coming over.
