<TITLE>18. Par 43-44</TITLE>L-43 Here he goes. I don't care. His little face was red. Brother, every time he made a step, he thought, "I'm better and better all the time." Just make a start one time and see what happens. First thing you know, he happened to look down the side of the hill, and what was happening? A little woman, that he knowed, maybe, of his own parish, was setting up on top of the hill. And he had knowed that he had talked to her about it. And she'd said, right out openly, she said one time, maybe, something like this: "Jairus, you know what? I believe that that prophet over there is a Man of God."
"Well, now, sister. I wouldn't... How do--how do you feel about it?" 'Cause he had watched to know whether she was just a bait from some of the district men or not, you know.
So said, "Well," said, "have you ever heard Him?"
"Oh, yes, occasionally I've heard Him."
"Why, I never heard Him, but I've heard of Him." So faith cometh by hearing. "And I tell you what. I believe if--if you could get somebody take me across the sea there in a boat somewhere, or where He's at, if I could only touch Him, I'd be made well."

L-44 And here she comes, poor little, spindly, pale face. She's coming down the bank. Look at her staggering, holding unto something. And there, they're all down there, saying, "Good morning, Reverend. How do you do, Dr.? So glad to have you over here." And, "Rabbi, glad to have you back again." [Brother Branham makes a noise as if clearing his throat--Ed.] Looking at one another, you know.
Little Jairus standing up there... You know, used to kind of throw off the--the... You know, there was a lot of people believed on Him, so he had to watch, you know, what they said. So he come back, after while this little woman, he... She said, "Would you help me, kind sir, to get over there till I'd like to speak with Him?"
"Oh, don't you listen to that. We're just standing out here. We're going... We're fixing to trap him. We got a trap set for him this morning; we're really going to get him this morning. You just watch (See?), we're... That's the reason, we're calling him, 'Hello, there, Dr. Hello, Rabbi.'"
"See? We got a trap set for him; we're going to upset him this morning." So this... Because they say he knows the secrets of the heart. We got it all fixed all for him." Like somebody had for me the other night, and got failed, when the Holy Spirit come down. And I don't know whether you noticed it or not, but it sure did--was a great stumble to that old boy.
