<TITLE>06. Par -</TITLE>L-9-5 [Brother Neville says, "Brother Branham, can I have time to interrupt you?"--Ed.]
You sure can, Brother.
[As a token of our appreciation and by the--the work of a young man in our midst, we present this picture to you, Brother Branham, with the full expression of our love and appreciation.]
Thank you, Brother Neville and the Tabernacle.
[The young man was Jerry Steffy that painted that picture.]
Brother Jerry Steffy painted that picture. God bless that boy. That's very fine, Jerry, if you're here this morning.
It's too bad; I wished I had the means to let that boy go to school for an artist. I believe God is in art. Don't you believe so? God is in music; God is in art; God is in this; and it's too bad to see a talent like that wouldn't be developed. More he does, the more developing it'll be, and I--I pray that God will bless you, Jerry.
And thank you, Brother Neville, and to this church, for this fine picture and for the verse that goes under it. I'll read it a little later.
[Do you want me to read it?]
All right, sir. Brother Neville will read the verse. I didn't... I'd had an idea of what it will...
[He's not a man of stature tall,
Nor lofty in his way;
He sounds himself no trumpet
As he goes from day to day.
Has no desire for wealth nor fame,
But none his place could fill;
He's just the way we want him,
Our own dear Brother Bill.
He teaches us with faithfulness
The undiluted Word,
No fancy ways, no love for praise,
Just following the Lord.
His speech is soft and gentle;
He raises not his voice,
Except to cry against the wrong,
And then he has no choice.
Never got a lot of learning,
From colleges and school;
But he knows what is important,
And he's sure nobody's fool.
For the knowledge he is given
Is Eternal from above;
He has no creed, except our Christ,
No law but Sovereign Love,
There was no great announcement
To his lowly, humble birth,
But to us he is the greatest man
Who lives upon the earth.
We count it more than privilege
To know him as a friend,
We cherish all he stands for,
And will right to the end.
He says he's not a preacher;
He's modest as can be,
But get him in the pulpit,
And it isn't hard to see.
He was foreordained a prophet,
Let men call it what they will;
God granted us great favor
When He gave us Brother Bill.
Signed:  The Little Flock.]

L-10-4 Thank you, thank you...?... Thank you for your thoughts. Who composed that?
[Brother Neville answers, "I think his mother did."--Ed.]
That's... I'm not worthy of those things, of saying that; but that's more to me than all the money in the world (See?), to think somebody regards you as His servant (See?), as God's servant. May I ever live true to that is my prayer. God ever bless you. My thoughts will always be for you, and I expressingly love you too.

L-11-1 Now... Oh, we just got so many things; we could just take all today, and we never would get down into the Word. You see so many fine things.
I have a--a vision from the Lord I was going to say something about, and--and someone had dreamed a dream (that, oh, I thought was so outstanding) of the coming of the Lord. And I...

L-12-1 The little Rebekah, my daughter back there (I... Even if I did make a little fun of her awhile ago), she come out with one of them big kind of a--of hats on; I said, "Now, honey, it looks like a bird's nest," I said, "sticks all in it and everything like that." I said, "Go take it off."
And then she got back at me; in a few minutes she come back (you know, the way she got back at me was to go back), and she come in with a great big pocketbook, packing it. I said, "Where'd that thing come from?"
She said, "Daddy," she says, "I have big feet, so I guess I'll just take a big pocketbook to match it."
So... Oh, these... But she said she had dreamed twice of she and I riding in the car, and me telling her of the Lord's near appearing: same dream second time. I'm waiting for the third; maybe the Lord then will give me what it means.
