<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 And I was just thinking... When I was setting out there (drove up and listening to Brother Borders finish up his message), I was thinking about the--my Indian brethren. I hope this is all right. I remember in Phoenix, Arizona, we had a--a circus tent, and I was having meeting there. And there was an--an Indian came in from... I think he was a--a Navaho. And he come in, very typical Navaho, you know, with a blue bands wrapped around his head, and scarlet shirt on. And he didn't set down in the seat. He just set right down on the floor. See?
And so I... Billy had been giving out those prayer cards, and coming down, mixing them up and handing them out to the people. And when he would... People come up on the platform with a toothache, and the other one had... Maybe he'd a, you know, tummy-ache or something another, some little minor something.
And I said to Billy, I said, "Son, quit giving them cards out to them people with nothing, but just toothaches when there's people setting there with cancer, dying. They must get on the platform. Ask the people what's wrong with them and then give them a prayer card. Somebody... Get something up there that's dying, 'cause they just got one more night, and we got to close. And there's about five thousand people there to be prayed for, and they--they're real sick.
So Billy got up on the microphone. He said, "Daddy said just give these cards to people that was really sick." Said, "Now, when I give them out to you, you tell me what's wrong with you and I'll give you a card." And he said, "Just people that's got toothaches, and so forth, and things like that, having little headaches, 'course that's a big problem to them, but it ain't a problem like a man dying, and heart trouble, or something real bad."

L-9 So I'm going to call him Chief. He was setting over in a corner on the dust on the floor, and he walked up to Billy, patted him on the back, held out his hand.
Billy said, "Chief, what's wrong?" Said, "Daddy told me to ask what was wrong with the people."
He said, "Me sick."
He said, "How are you sick, Chief?"
He said, "Me sick."
Billy said, "Well, I--I don't know what to do." He said, "All right. You set down. I'll get to you in a few minutes."
He watched him, them little eyes watching. When that little bunch of cards got pretty low, he walked up and tapped him again. He said, "Me sick."
And so Billy said, "Chief," said, "you'll have to tell me what's wrong with you. Daddy said just to give these cards to people that was real sick. What's wrong with you? How are you sick?"
He said, "Me sick."
Billy said, "All right, Chief. You take this and write on it 'Me sick.'" You see?

L-10 So it happened to be, he got in the prayer line the next night, the following night. So he come up there. 'Course the Lord begin to speak, telling what was wrong and what, so forth.
And so I said, "Chief..."
"Yeah."
I said, "do you believe the Lord will heal you?" He looked at me. I seen he didn't get it very good. See? I said, "Do you believe the Lord will heal you? "
He said, "That right."
And I said, "Will you be a good boy afterwards?"
Said, "That right." And everything I said to him, he said, "That right."
Come to find out, there was only two words he could say. He had learned that: "Me sick" and "That right." I met him about, oh, six or eight months later down there. I said, "There's that Indian brother." I went over to him. I said, "How are you, fellow," like that.
He said, "That right."
Someone in the missionary out there said he was healed. See? He was healed. And that's all he knowed. "That right." So... That's all you have to know, "That's right." So we are very grateful for that simple faith. The only thing you have to know is, "That's right," when we talk about the Bible. That's right.
