<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>61-0426, Micaiah The Prophet, Stephen Mather High School, Chicago, IL, 97 min
L-1 You can be seated. I--I tell you, if I'd ever live up to something like that, I'd be a good man. I just want to say that he just loves me a whole lot; that's what it is. He just thinks a lot of me. I could never live to a reputation like that. But I'm so glad to know that someone thinks that much of you.

L-2 One time, I, in my home church I'd been preaching just as hard as I could and trying to do something for the Lord. And I went out. Someone said, "I appreciated that message tonight, Brother Branham."
I said, "Thank you. Thank you kindly."
Someone, lady walked up, said, "Say, that was a marvelous message, Brother Branham."
I said, "Thank you. Thank you."
And somebody else said something and went down. There was a minister visiting there. He said, "Well," he said, "I don't like for people to brag on me."
I said, "Well, there's just one difference." I said, "I do." And he said... And I said, "I always like if somebody tells me whether I'm doing right or wrong. I like to know where I'm standing."
He said, "Well, I wouldn't want nobody telling me that I'd done good."
I said, "I do." And I said, "I believe there's just one difference between me and you."
He said, "What's that?"
I said, "I'm telling the truth; you're not."

L-3 We all--we all like for somebody to tell us if we're... And I think any good thinking person would appreciate good clean criticism if you're really wrong, somebody just tell you you're wrong and show you where you're wrong, I'd appreciate it. I want to be right, if somebody can make me to be right.
Oh, there's so many things that I want to say that... Thank you so much for the compliments, brother, and so forth. And everything's just fine. I love you the same way, Brother Joseph. I realize that Brother Joseph has been nation after nation, place after place, putting schools together, and sending ministers, oh, just a whole life worked up. I certainly have the greatest honor and respect for Brother Joseph Boze. He's my--truly my brother.

L-4 Then thank you for saying happy birthday to my lovely little wife tonight. She got in too late to get to the meeting, but I'm going to take all that warm welcome and tell her about it when I get home over there. How she'll appreciate that. She is in... And that's one thing: Brother Joseph bragged a little about me, but he didn't over brag it on her, 'cause she--she really is worthy of everything could be said. She's forty-two years old today. She's just a kid. You see? I married a child, and so...
She--she has stood by me, though, like a real, real chum. And Billy, when his mother died, I was about twenty-five, twenty-six years old. And he had no mother, crying, and no one to take him to. And she was just a little girl, like, then--about seventeen, eighteen. She taken care of him.
