<TITLE>08. Par 23-25</TITLE>L-23 So however, when the Angel said that... And now, when I went in to Africa, and found... In Africa, what did I find? I'm not degrading nothing. I'm very thankful for everything that the Lord has did. All of you remember that: everything the Lord has done, I'm thankful. But I'm trying to say we're living in another day, above that now. See? We're--we're getting up to where God wants to do greater things than what He has done. He wants to bless His Church.
He wants us to come together, and not argue about, "I'm the Assemblies of God," or "I'm the Church of God." What difference does it make? We're Christ's. That's it. See? We are Christ's. Not... We mustn't think that. And one of us riding one-hump camels, two-hump camels, and three-hump camels. What difference does it make? Jacob dug one well, and the Philistines run him away from it, and he called it "Malice." He dug another well, and the Philistines run him away from it, and he called it "Strife." And He dug another well. So he said, "There's room for us all." So I think that's the way it is. Those on all different kinds of camels, we can ride right on up and get a drink. There's room at the fountain for all of us...?...

L-24 So when I got there, I thought I would find, maybe, the missionaries, David Livingstons on every corner. But what did I find but... My, missionaries was different than what I thought it was. They had the compound out there, where the colored man that could not keep tribal paint on any more...
They could come here and teach us morals, them people could in Africa. Sure, they could. For instance, in one tribe there in the Basothu, if the... There's Shangai, Basothu, Xhosa, or, my, so many different tribes. But if a young lady (They never know how old they are), but if a young lady is not... some man has taken her... They have polygamy. But if some man hasn't taken her for a wife at a certain size, she has to take her tribal paint off and leave the--the tribe, because there's something wrong.
If she is... before she is married, or taken for wife, she's examined for her virgincy. If she be found guilty, she has to tell the man that's done it. They're both killed together. Be a lot of deaths around the United States anyhow, if they'd search them out like that. But there's no night life among them. No, sir. They're clean, moral, as they can be.

L-25 And, then, they came in by the tens of thousands to the meeting when we gathered at Durban. And I was... Billy was with me. I said, "Son, go down and give out some prayer cards this afternoon.
And then when he come back in a few moments (he and the mayor of the city, Sidney Smith), they didn't... He didn't have pockets in his coat. He said, "Give out prayer cards? You go down there and try it once." He said, "You can't do that, daddy."
So I said, "Well, okay."
So, Mr. Smith, Sidney Smith, the mayor of Durban, he taken me out. Said, "Brother Branham, of all the history of Africa, there's nothing like this ever been seen." And he said, "That Durban race track is so full of people, till they're all the way across the track on the other side. Thousands times thousands, over a hundred thousand, just laying there. They're coming from strange... from all parts of the country, and they brought their loved ones, for weeks at a time. Bring them through the jungles, to where they had to... The lion would get after them; they'd have to shinny them up the tree. (Excuse that expression. That's... I--I--I know you all have better English than I do--we do down there.) And so, a...
