<TITLE>19. Par 65-67</TITLE>L-65 I said, "Well, I tell you what. Let's take a bucket of water, and set it out here on that oak post. And now, in the middle of August, it'll run down to the bottom of the post, and stay there till spring, and come back and fill the bucket up again. Will it do that?"
He said, "No, no."
And I said, "Well, tell me what intelligence? It's got to be an intelligence now, because the tree has no intelligence. It has to be an intelligence to make that life go from the tree up here in the branches down to the roots, and an intelligence to tell it it's time to come back up again."
He said, "I just hadn't thought of that."
And I said, "Now, you think on that a long time. And when you find out what intelligence that tells that sap in the tree, that life, to go down in the roots and hide or it will die; then I'll tell you the intelligence that told me who that woman was and what to do to save her life."
He said, "You're not the preacher?"
I said, "I am."

L-66 There. Show me... "Thou will show me the path to life," though it be so simple. And there on his knees, with his hat off, I led him to Christ. "Show me Thy path of life" to an ignorant farmer, that probably couldn't write his own name. But God has a way to take a path of life, to lead him to that. And, brethren, we are hanging on the Tree of Life. And someday this old leaf is going to drop off.
But there will come a resurrection someday. A great millennium lays ahead of us, a great resurrection. We'll come back again someday, because we have Eternal Life. We understand it from the way of a word. If we had time, you know, how it is. We could approach it by many ways. People... Sometime you have to use different methods to get to a person.

L-67 Last year I went down; I thought, "I'll go hunt on the old man's place again." I drove up to the place, and weeds was growed up all around it. I seen an elderly lady setting on the porch, peeling apples off of the same tree. I walked up. I said, "How do you do?"
She said, "How do you do, sir?"
And I said... I'd seen big posted signs all around 'fore I got in there. And I said, "I wonder if it would be possible that I could hunt squirrel."
She said, "Sir, when my husband was living, he was very odd. He posted the grounds." And said, "I have some boys from--lives up in Kentucky, up in Louisville, Kentucky. Said, "And they come down to hunt."
I said, "I understood that. He told me that. Could I see him?"
She said, "He's gone on."
I said, "You don't mean so."
"Yes."
I said, "Well, he told me when he was living that could hunt."
She said, "Who are you?"
I said, "I'm Brother Branham."
She dropped her pan. She grabbed me by the hand. She said, "Brother Branham, he's in glory now." She said, "He lived a staunch Christian life from the hour."
I said, "And you're peeling apples from that same tree." I said, "The apples come back again, didn't they?" I said, "So will he sometime in the great resurrection."
