<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>61-1015E, Respects, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 95 min
L-1 Until just awhile ago when I left the hospital, and I kind of left it in the hands of the Lord, that if--if... Knowing I was a little hoarse, 'cause I've got a cold. But I thought if I... If mother was well enough that I could come, why, I would be down again to get to visit with you. Because when I see someone like mama laying there and knowing that these other mothers and daddies here, that's we all got to come to that place (You see?), and thinking of how grateful I am that she is ready to go.

L-2 And then, and another thing I want to express to the church... I believe I seen Sister Wilson back there. And--and then there's Sister and Brother Sothmann here somewhere, perhaps, in the building. And--and several of you here that's been offering your assistance to set up with mama in the night and things like that, that's mighty loyal. And I appreciate all that you all have done. Truly, the family's wore out, you know; we're staying every night. And just... Now, most of them work, so it's Meda and I, or--or Delores, and she got children in school, and it just kind of makes it hard just divide it between a couple of us that way, and you just get wore out. You just hardly can go, and you can't tell day from night, hardly, especially when you're got up to about the age that Meda and I are, you know, it don't--it don't take very many nights to wear you out when you're--get a little age on you.

L-3 So I used to think I could just stay it day and night. I'd come from California in my old T-model Ford, and I'd get a little sleepy on the road, take me about four or five days, maybe seven days, to make it. And I'd ride along day and night. And I'd get a little tired, throw my blanket under the car, drive out on the prairie, sleep a couple hours and go on. I've changed a lot since then, Brother Neville. I just realize that I'm just past twenty-five years old. See?

L-4 And so it's a--a privilege to be here at the house of the Lord tonight. And this morning I had a little--a little few notes here that I wanted to, that the Lord had give me. And I thought maybe that this morning, if I got a chance, I would speak on it before I had the prayer for the sick. But being that we were late in the questions this morning, I thought maybe if mama was better, then maybe it would be a sign that I was to come down again tonight, maybe, and would speak a little while tonight if it didn't interrupt Brother Neville's program somewhere.

L-5 And standing in the room I just had a marvelous testimony give to me about a Christian sister that's with us tonight. She was in the prayer line this morning, and she pray, standing for somebody else. And in her room, a darkened room, there's "The--The Lord's Supper," "The Lord's Last Supper." And it's so the sun cannot strike the room in any position. And while at three o'clock this afternoon, this Halo of Light that was seen here when we got through preaching on the church ages, only in more like a color of rainbow, like, came right over the head of the Lord Jesus. Well, she watched It a few moments. And she went and told her sister, the way I understand the story, and--and they come and marveled at It for a long time, a hour or something. And then they called in a neighbor minister, which was Brother Stricker over here, to see the phenomena of It. And they set and watched It on till five or something like that. And the minister was asked to pray, and he felt that he just couldn't pray, or something.
