<TITLE>03. Par -</TITLE>L-4-2 And now, 'course, all of you are acquainted to know Brother Ben down here. He's just--you know, this man that you can hear above everybody saying, "Amen." I tell you a little... I hate to say this on him, his wife setting there. We all love Ben. And--it was before he was married. I was out on the west coast (and that boy was from southern Indiana).
I was out there on the west coast just preaching away one night up in San Fernando Valley--Valley--with the Baptist people, big tent full of people... Now, they're kinda refined people, you know. And I was just preaching away. Directly I heard a squall; black shock of hair a-shaking like--like--like a Mexican; two big feet sticking up in the air and hands like that. I stopped, and I said, "Ben, where in the world did you get out here?" There he was. God bless you, Ben. You no more than just stand up; just stand up you and your wife. We'd just like for the people to--Brother Ben. That's who's been making all the "amens" down here in this corner here. God bless you. [Brother Ben asks for Brother Branham's prayers--Ed.] Amen. God bless you.

L-4-4 Brother Way, another missionary, trying to get his way over into the mission fields. He's with us tonight. We know him. He's been sojourning down our way for a while. Where are you, Brother Way? Are you in the meeting? Right here--and his wife,
And now, I tell you, the war between England and Norway is settled. He's an Englishman, and she's a Norwegian. It's all over. Lovely people. Yes, sir, the war is all over.

L-4-6 Brother Boze was down the other night showing his picture, and saying, "Oh well," he said, "there's a woman--that's Sister Sothmann. (Wish I'd a had her to stand up with Fred in here somewhere. Lovely people. And she's a Norwegian. 'Course, Brother Boze is a--is a Swede.) And he said, "Uhm--uhm--" (you know how Joseph does), said, "There's a lady here, a sister," said, "she's a Norwegian." Said "'Course, if you cannot be a Swede, it's good to be a Norwegian."
Got outside, he looked over at me, and I said, "'Course, Joseph, it's too bad that we all can't be Irish." I said, but... So we all have a sense of humor down there.

L-5-2 Brother Higginbotham, where are you? He's around here somewhere. That's another godly man from down our way, one who was a trustee of the church down there for years and years. And his friend, Sister Arganbright, Sister Ruth Arganbright. Right here. I believe she is setting out here in the aisle. Stand up. How many knows Minor Arganbright, the--one of the vice-presidents of the Full Gospel Business Men?--a cousin to him.

L-5-3 Oh, my, if I miss any of you folks... I--I'm proud of you, everyone. I'm glad you're up here with us. We don't know... going in and out... Brother and Sister Dauch setting there too; and Sister Brown; Brother Brown; Brother McKinney, another Methodist preacher with the Holy Ghost. Where are you, Brother McKinney? Where are you around here? He's from up in Ohio. Here, way back here. Another full-fledged, born-in-the--shook-out Methodist. That's right. Now, baptism of the Holy Ghost--moving on for God.
Pat Tyler, another bosom friend of mine setting over here. Brother Pat, stand up. You all might know Pat Tyler. Thank you, Brother Pat. God bless you. He was an outlaw, a gunman, killer;  God saved him and made a saint out of him; hitchhiking across the country to follow the meetings and things.
You know, I think of these people that--where they've come from, I think of Hebrews the 11th chapter: "Were sawed asunder and wandered about in goatskin and sheepskin, of whom the world was not worthy of." They all bear that testimony.
Tom Simpson, where's Tom? Did he come up? I thought I seen his car out here. Him and his family, I thought he was here. Maybe I was mistaken. Yes, bob up and down like a bite on a fishing line out there, "Boop-Boop..." like that. All right.
