<TITLE>01. Par 1-8</TITLE>61-1001E, The Comforter, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 95 min
L-1 Thank you, Brother Neville. Good evening, friends. It's a privilege to be back at the house of the Lord again tonight in this service, to serve Him again. I think it's the greatest thing that ever happened to me, to have the privilege of serving Him. And I know as I serve you, I serve Him. "For insomuch as you have done unto the least of these, my little ones, you have did it unto Me." And none of His Words can never fail.

L-2 Now, I want to take this moment of time to say that mother is still breathing, or was when I left the hospital a little while ago. And immediately after the communion service tonight, the wife and I are setting up tonight with her. We're going out to the--to the hospital.
And I want to express for her, being that she cannot, the thankfulness that we have to you people for praying for us in this time of trouble, and for the nice cards and flowers, and things that's expressions of sympathy, that you've sent to my mother; which I certainly do appreciate, and she does too. And thank you, very kindly. I would try, by my best, to do the same for you. You know that. And so knowing this, that perhaps...

L-4 I could not say that she is dying, though the doctor says she is. But he told me that last Sunday, that she was dying then. And all week long, the children has set around, waiting in the hospital, taking turns about, hour by hour, waiting for mother to go. But at this time she's lower than she's ever been.
I think the physician finds twenty-two different things wrong with her. And it's then when they, another one come in, say, "No, I don't believe it's that."
And finally one said this, "It's an old worn-out mother, just too tired to live any longer." So I think that kinda expresses it. That's right. She's the mother of ten children, and times has been hard for her. We've lived poor. And things hasn't been like it--it could've been, I suppose. But--and she's just tired, and wore out, and going Home.

L-7 And it's with pleasure, and with this--this great Gospel that I have preached, that I believe in now, it just don't only work when the--when the chips are up. It works when they are down, also. It is my comfort. And I cannot believe that my mother can ever die, because she has Eternal Life. See? "He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. Whosoever liveth and believeth in Me, shall never die." Now, my Lord said That, and I hold to those Words. Though we all walk down through the valley, it's those... As our precious pastor this afternoon expressed them over her, these weary, drawn-out hours, of the last ones here on earth...

L-8 A Mrs. Fordyce, another friend of ours, who's laying right next to her, dying, with a heart trouble... And many times, across the street, have we brought--bought a little vegetables and things from the lady. She lived out here in the country by Zurschmeide. And not knowing it was her, until I got a good look at her, she's seventy-five or seventy-six. And she had her two older sisters in there to visit her. And when she left, I walked over; she said, "You are Brother Branham, the evangelist?"
And I said, "Yes, ma'am."
And she started crying. She said, "I touch... I heard that's your mother right next to me, just a curtain between us."
I said, "Yes."
She said, "We'll probably go both at the same time."
