<TITLE>03. Par 23-32</TITLE>L-23 Coming home, I thought, "Well, isn't..." I went in, stood there in the room. I picked up a Bible, a new Bible. And I said, "Lord, You're God. I don't... You don't have to tell me what You do. But I just wondered if You kept, the reason you did that, taking her, was it because to keep from breaking my heart? If so, would You comfort me with Your Word."
And I did it, you know, how you take a Bible and just pull It open like that. I just took my fingers and run down, turned It open. Matthew 9, great big red letters sticking out, "She is not dead, but sleepeth." See? And first thing my eyes fell on in the Scripture when I looked down...
That, course, now, I don't use the Bible for a Ouija board, you know. We just don't do that. But I was so tore up at that time, I...?... believing that God let me see that. Because what followed, proved it right.

L-26 That night, of course, was a restless night. And the next morning I was at the--got up. I guess we was about eight o'clock, in the room, eight, or maybe later. I begin to see children coming in, they bringing in crippled children from everywhere. Looked like it made about a city-block wide, and about two city-blocks deep of just afflicted children. On the left side and on the right side were people seated, and all along, looked like it was up high. And it kind of, stadium, run down and then come up again in the back end, to keep the very back people from not seeing; they could look forward at it. While I was standing with a blue suit on, I thought, "Now, this is strange. I--I know I'm standing in the room at home, but here I am in a blue suit." And I was leading the singing, "Bring them in, bring them in," making both sides sing, "bring the little ones to Jesus, bring them in from the world of sin."
And there was a renown lady entered the back of the stadium. Somehow another, I knowed that she was coming in. But she started coming up through the audience. And I was just kept leading the songs and... "Bring them in." I'd say, "This side sing it, 'Bring them in!' This side, 'Bring them in,' like that, 'bring the wandering ones to Jesus.'" And I was going to pray for all these little, afflicted children and sick.
And this lady came and went to the box on like in a theater, where it's like where the celebrity sets, or a President's box, or you know what I mean, in that kind of a place, to my left.

L-32 The lady had just got in. She turned around to the other people that was there, and just bowed her head. I noticed she was dressed kindly old fashioned. And the lady turned around to bow to me, just before... And I'd walked up in the pulpit then to preach. And--and just as she held her head down, and I turned around like this, to her. And when I raised my head up, and she raised her head up facing me, it was mama. And she looked at me and smiled. She was young, real young. And a great thundering Voice shook the place, and words came forth and said, "Do not worry about her, she's like she was in 1906."
And when the vision left me, I looked to see what 1906 was. That was the year she was a bride to my father. And I--I know now too, that she's part of a Bride, the Bride of Jesus Christ.
