<TITLE>07. Par 28-32</TITLE>L-28 And he was a Zulu, the Zulu's a great big strong man. He throws his eseguard, with his hand pin a lion to the ground. The Shangai and many of those were little fellows that let the lion jump right into the spear. They dragged this. What we call spear, they call "eseguard."
So this little fellow coming on the platform, I said, "Now, the audience can see the little lad is--is cross-eyed." I said, "Anyone knows that." I said, "Now, I could not heal the child; anyone knows." But I said, "Now, if the Holy Spirit could reveal what caused that, or how it happened..." I looked at the little boy, and I said, "Yes, his father and mother are rather rare for Zulus. His mother's a extremely thin woman. And they are Christians. And the hut that they live in, as you go in, to the right hand side of the door there's a picture of Christ hanging on the wall. And the baby was born cross-eyed. And about a hundred yards from me, the mother and father raised up to give witness through the--the Zulu interpreter got it on.

L-29 And while I looked back at the little boy, his eyes was just as straight as mine. I said, "Anyone sees that the little fellow is healed, so just pass him on."
So started on. In a few minutes I heard a fuss back there on the platform and looked around. It was a little British doctor. And this little doctor was fussing about it. And so...
Brother Ern Baxter, I know many of you know Brother Ern Baxter, and how many of you ever heard of F. F. Bosworth? I heard that he had... I heard that was one of the last men that held a divine campaign healing here in this city, or around this country. You couldn't have had a better; F. F. Bosworth, I... When he was dying I grabbed him in my arms and cried, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and horsemen thereof." He was a man who brought dignity and power to the Pentecostal church: F. F. Bosworth.

L-30 Well, he was on the platform. And he come, he said--he said, "I want to talk to him."
The man said, "Now, while Brother Branham is under the anointing, you'll cause a race riot here or something," 'cause they had militia out there anyhow, watching, 'cause they have tribal wars. And so I said... Turned around, and I said, "What's the matter, doctor?"
And he looked at me and said, "How did you know I was a doctor?"
I said, "What are you so curious about?" He said... Then they let him come up.
And he said, "Mr. Branham, what did you do to that boy?"
I said, "Nothing."
He said, "What kind of a--of a shenanigan are you trying to pull?"
I said, "What do you mean?"

L-31 He said, "That boy, what did you do to him? Did you hypnotize that boy?" He said, "I put him up on the platform right there, myself, and he was cross-eyed. Now, he isn't cross-eyed." Said, "Did you hypnotize him?"
I said, "And then the British Medical Association gives you license to practice medicine and know no more about hypnotism than that?" I said, "If hypnotism will straighten a child's eyes, don't you think you fellows ought to be practicing up a little bit on hypnotism?"
And he said, "I am curious, Mr. Branham." He said, "I'm a Christian. I have been raised in the Anglican church." He said...

L-32 Now, the calla lilies there, sisters, you ought to see them. Our little ones about like that, some of them is eighteen inches across, growing wild in the desert, in the jungles: yellow and white. There is great big bouquets of them setting all over.
He said, "Now, I know there is a God, 'cause that lily couldn't live without life." He said, "That life is hidden somewhere in the lily." He said, "I know there's a God. But being tangible enough to straighten the eyes of a cross-eyed child, I can't understand that."
