<TITLE>07. Par 26-30</TITLE>L-26 And when we were there before, Brother Fuller, a wonderful Christian brother. He was going out that afternoon, and as he passed off of the platform going out, there went his crowd out, fine dressed, intellectual people. And he'd made an altar call. And one lady had raised up her hand that she wanted to receive Christ: wonderful. He dedicated a few babies, went out. Grand old saint is Charles Fuller.
And I had the privilege of shaking his hand, and a very fine man. But to know him personally, to say that I do, I--I do not. Just know him to--by just to shake his hand.

L-27 But I noticed his group going out that afternoon. And our group waited out on the piers and so forth, till his service was dismissed. And here come my group in: wheelchairs, crutches, straight jackets. That's a lot different. When you can stand and talk some kind of a theology... Nothing against Dr. Fuller, a godly man.
But to stand and tell them about Christ that lives and will save them. Let them raise up their hands and put their name on a book. That's one thing. But when you're faith has to buck against wheelchairs, and crutches, and blind, deaf, dumb, insane, screaming, whiskers over their face. That's a lot different. The devil setting everywhere--where to see if there is one mistake in it. So he could throw the blanket on you.

L-28 So when I went in to the psychopathic room... Sometimes they have them out, what they call the emergencies. And I never will forget, a beautiful young woman was setting there. And there some of them... Oh, my. I hope this is not a bad thing. But I have walked into the places and see a... It's such a horrible thing, insanity: see a--a young woman use a bed pan and then wash her face like that, with the... Oh, it just... Lovely people, but that's devil. That's a devil.
How I could... I've refrained from testimonies that I've seen, going in the meetings among you. Which has been... Well, it would make volumes of books. But I refrain from saying it, because I'd--I--I don't like to say it. Jesus said, "See that no man... just don't tell it. Just go ahead. God will get glory from it."

L-29 And I don't believe in a lot of advertise, a lot of things, that's something's been done. Let--just let it alone, let God take care of it. I--I like that better.
And so, this young lady, she says to me; she said, "Are you Brother Branham?"
And I said, "I am."
And she said, "Well, would you take me first?"
And I thought, "Why, you are not the--in this psychopathic room?"
She said, "Yes, I'm supposed to be."
And I said, "Well my, such a pretty woman." Looked to be about twenty years old. Looked like she'd have made any little minister a little jewel, a little sweetheart.
And I tell you brethren, as we all know, minister or not, there's no one that can console you like a loving wife, a real wife. When you come in tired and weary, and someone can set down and take you by the hand and say, "I understand, and I know it's hard." There's something about it. God knowed what He was doing when He gave a man a wife.

L-30 And then I thought, "What a little jewel she would be for any man's wife." And I said, "Tell me your story, lady." I said, "There's no one seem to be rushing to it just now. What about it?"
She said, "Very well." She said, "I was raised in a strict Christian home."
"Yes, ma'am."
And she said, "One time, I started (against my parents better judgment) of going with a boy that packed a flask in his pocket. And one night, he persuaded me to take a drink." And said, "Finally, I had taken that one drink. And all of them was telling me I was a wallflower if I didn't do this, that. And the first thing you know, I got the habit of drinking." She said, "Then I started public prostitution." And she said, "I... They sent me to the Good Shepherd's Home, which was a Catholic institution." She said, "I served my time there, three or four years, and turned to be a Catholic."
