<TITLE>14. Par 70-71</TITLE>L-70 Some time ago, way down (Now, this is horrible, pastor; you forgive me), way down... I was--went down in Florida. We was having a meeting, and we had a big tent out there about... Oh, many thousands of people had gathered for healing. And, you know, the healing services, you know how they are, pulling and twisting. And there was one of the brothers come to me, said, "The Duchess wants to see you."
I said, "The what?" I didn't know what the brother was talking about.
He said, "The Duchess."
I said, "What's the Duchess?" I thought it might be a Dutchman, like they call the Lost Dutchman up here. Something like there'd been a Lost Dutchman too, you know. So I said, "I don't understand."
He said, "Why, it's the woman that owns all this property through here."
And I said, "Well, look, there's about five thousand sick people out there trying to get in too."
"Oh," he said, "but this is the Duchess. You must see her."
I said, "She's no more than anyone else, is she? See, she's just a human being."
And he said, "As you go out through the tent here, she'll be there."

L-71 And I looked at her. She come up. Now, please don't think this is sacrilegious. I hope it don't sound that way. But she had a pair of glasses on a stick. Now, you know you ain't going to look through no, stick out like that--had glasses on a stick, like this.
And she said, "Oh, are you Dr. Branham?"
And I said, "No, ma'am. No, no, no, no." I said, "I'm Brother Branham."
She said, "I'm charmed."
And she held that hand out there with enough gold on it to send a dozen missionaries around the world ten times. And she held her hand way up, like this. Now, that's no way to get a handshake.
I reached up and got a hold of that big fat hand and got it. I said, "Bring it down here, so I'll know you when I see you again." I like a good old handshake, don't you? Let's give one another that while we sing "I Love Him" again. Everybody now.
I love Him, (God bless you, brother. God bless you, my brother...?...)
Because He first loved me; (That's right.)
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree
Until I see you again, God bless you. Now, let's raise our hands to Him.
I love Him, (Brother pastor...?...)
