<TITLE>02. Par -</TITLE>L-2-7 So the people are disappointed; I would be too. But I'd just like, on this Easter morning to making my confession, to say that--that I don't know what to do about it. There's just too many, you know, to--to get to--thousands and thousands of people from around the world. I've taken my seventh trip around, as you know, and I have in personal contact with better than ten million people from around the world. So you can imagine how--how--what a strain that is on you.

L-2-8 And many times we hit little strains, and I know you do too, and little disappointments. But think of them I have, the disappointments I have, when sick mothers on the phone saying, "Oh, God... Well, wait just a minute, Brother Branham. Lord Jesus, I--I--I pray that You'll send him." And--and it--just hung up the phone from another one, and here, and here, and here, and all around the world. You know how it is. And that--that's not easy when somebody on the end of the phone with a sick baby, or a sick husband, or a dying wife, a-praying for you to come.
Now, you could imagine; no wonder I'm a neurotic. As this--it's enough to make one. But I have done this one thing: instead of getting a complex, I've tried to hold steady by keeping my eyes on Calvary and moving on, just as He would have me to do.
And many of my mistakes... I pray that God will forgive me of things, that maybe I should have went one place and didn't go. I'm just human and can--subject to mistakes.

L-3-3 There's a little, cute little thing was said in here in the back yard this morning, when I was going out from the sunrise service. I got a precious old friend (He's probably here somewhere; he's from Chicago.), name's Stewart (he's about...), Ed Stewart (I guess he's in his middle seventies or better.); and he met me out there. And he saves his tithing money in dimes, and he give me a whole package of dimes, about like that, and... Oh, I don't know, I... 'Course, they go to a foreign mission work. And his good friend and mine, Brother Skaggs, Leonard Skaggs, from Lowell, Indiana, was standing there, and I never knew before; he was a Mason. He had a Mason's button on him, and we were talking about the Masonic order. And so, the old Brother Stewart said to me; he said, "I like you, Brother Branham, and I'd like to talk to you," (excuse this expression), but he said, "you're harder to get to than a Turkish harem."
Someone said to me not long ago, said, "I'm glad the Lord's not that hard to get to." He said...

L-3-5 Well, I don't mean to be that way; I love people. But I just imagine... I went home and I told my wife, and we set at the table and laughed, how hard it would be to get to a Turkish harem, you know. So--so I hope it isn't quite that difficult, Brother Stewart, if you're still in here. But I sure did think that was a little sense of humor that kinda made us all have a chuckle.
So I wished I could see everyone. And I love everyone (That is true.); whether they're a friend or foe, it's just the same.

L-4-2 And now, I certainly covet your prayers for me in this oncoming meeting. I'm going among Indians. And you know, you--when you're in Rome, you have to be a Roman; and when you're with Indians, you have to live as Indians.
My missionary friend, of who is a hunting partner of mine, where I was up on the highway, Alaskan Highway, a--a very fine young fellow and his wife, out of a nice home... And I... Arms eat in there, and all around behind his ears, and things, and I wondered what was the matter with him; did he have an eczema? It was from fleas and bedbugs where he'd had to--how he'd had to live out there. And so, you have to live right with the people to win them to Christ. They're Christ's heritage; they are people who He died for, and somebody must go to them.
