<TITLE>29. Par 102-104</TITLE>L-102 So, I thought... I was just going along there and I heard something say, "I am the Lord, a very present help in a time of trouble." I just kept on walking. I thought, "Now, I'm getting delirious. You see? I'm thinking I'm hearing things." This is just when she first married, twenty years ago. I just kept going like this. It said, "I'm the Lord, a very present help in the time of trouble." And it said that three or four times.
And after while, I stopped, and I thought that--that "Either I'm beside myself or Almighty God has got mercy on me." And I just knelt down and set my gun down. And I said, "God, I confess I'm lost." You see, I said, "I--I'm lost. And then you... I'll never... I can never get out of here with... And I thought I was too good a woodsman to ever be lost. But" I said, "I'm completely turned around. There's no..." Done got excited. You see? "So, there's no way at all for me to ever find my way out. And I--I don't deserve to live, Sir. But my wife and baby does." See? "So, help me to get to them, so that they won't die in the woods." I said, "I don't deserve to live, but they do." And--and I said, "If You'll just help me, I'll be very thankful to You." I got up. I said, "Now, I'm going to set my face right this way, and I know I'm going straight towards to where I left Meda and them." But I...?... was I'm going right into Canada (You see?) on a death walk (See?) going right into Canada.

L-103 And I started like this, and all at once, I felt something go [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] a hand. "Who is that?" And looked up. And just in time to look back. And just enough fog cleared away, till I seen the top of Hurricane Mountain. And they was camped just below the Hurricane Mountain.
Well, then I just stood there and wept like a baby, praising God, you know, for helping me. And then, I had to take out that way. And it got dark on me. And--and deers and things jump up in front of me. But I hadn't... After it got dark, I know the ranger and I... when this ranger's cabin is right there by that lean-to, but it was locked up. And then, that's--that's twenty-five miles from the closest house from there on down. You see? And then up here on the mountain, here by the ranger's cabin, and then on up to the tower, up on the big peak up there... Well, I knowed I was on the peak somewhere. But them mountains are many, many, many miles around, you know: Thirty, forty miles--fifty, around the mountain there. And so I thought, "Now, if I can only hit that wire that comes down across there." He and I put it up for a call, you know. Tack it on the trees, and it goes down to his station. And then they relay it from the--from the--from the tower, you know, down to the station.

L-104 Then he was coming up in a few days to bear hunt with me. And it got night. Then I couldn't see, you know. And it was dark anyhow. It got dark in about thirty, forty minutes. And it was only about two or three o'clock in the afternoon. But I hold my hand up like this, and I'd walk. And I'd just get it... hold my gun in this hand and walk, you know. And I knowed that wire is just about this high, where we tacked it on the trees all the way along.
And I thought, "If I could just hit that wire." And I would hit a limb like that, you know. And I thought, "I... No, that's a limb." You see? And I try again. And then when I changed... And my arm would get to aching; I hold it up so long. I'd change and put my gun here and step back a couple steps, you know, to be sure that I didn't overstep it. You see? Because... and like that.
