<TITLE>06. Par 18-20</TITLE>L-18 I was thinking of a testimony, that I might give at this time, just to take up another ten, fifteen minutes. I preached one time, maybe here (I've preached it several places.) on "Show Us The Father And It Will Sufficeth Us," and to see God all around us.
An old man used to live down on the river. He's gone on now. And he was an old fisherman. His little boy used to go up the river and fish with him. The little fellow... One day coming down the river, he'd... The rain had come and washed out the skies from the dust and all the leaves off the trees, and a rainbow came out in the--in the west, or in the east. They were going westward down the Ohio River. And the old fisherman begin--great big tears running down his cheeks as he watched the rainbow. And the little fellow was so enthused. He got up to the boat, to the middle of the boat, and he said, "Sir, I want to ask you a question." Said, "My pastor cannot answer it, my mother, my Sunday school teacher." Said, "If God is so great," said, "why can't one see Him?"
And the--the old fellow, overcome by the little fellow's expression, put his arms around him. He said, "Bless your heart, honey. All I've seen for fifty years has been God," See? He could see God, see life. God is life. Life is God.

L-19 A few--about two years ago, my good friend, setting in here somewhere, and I, were down in Kentucky squirrel hunting, letting off steam from the meeting. And we'd been camped out, and I was dirty. And this is awful rude to make an expression like this before brethren... I hadn't had a bath in two weeks. And so--so I was really pretty--well, I needed one pretty bad. So... But Brother Wood and I, he needed it as bad as I did, so we just didn't notice each other when... So we... It got awful dry back in the woods, and our beard out on our face, and so we went to...
The squirrels, they... Tramping on the brush, why, they can hear you. And, oh, my. Houdini, an escape artist, has nothing on them little fellows. And down there when they get by--shot at anyhow, they get wild. They just escape. And he said... I--I said, "Brother Wood, if we could find a place that had some hollows..." Wonder if these brother, you know, how many knows what a hollow is? Why, that's all right. It's a, you know, a ditch goes down through the woods. And usually there the water drains out and runs down. And it keeps the leaves wet.

L-20 I said, "If we had some..." This was a big flat woods we were hunting in. And I said, "If we could find a place had some big deep hollows where the springs keep it," I said, "we could find squirrels better."
And he said, "Oh, I know such a place."
I said, "Well, we'll go."
And we got in the car and left our camp. And on the road over, he said, "Brother Branham," he said, "I want to tell you," said, "you better let me do the talking."
I said, "All right. You're sure welcome."
And he said, "This man is an infidel. And oh, he's the rankest in the country."
I said, "All--all right. Now, you do the talking then."
So--so he said, "I think he might know me." Mr. Wood was from down in that country.
