<TITLE>05. Par 16-19</TITLE>L-16 And I put my arm around the old fellow, and I said, "Heavenly Father, I pray for this dear old man." I looked at him stand out here in a vision in front of me, he could--looking right at me. Oh, my. There ain't nothing going to stop that when that vision comes. Yes, sir.
I seen he could see. I just pulled him away from me like that, and he hollered, "Gloria a Dios." That means "Glory to God." There he could see as good as I could. And the next night there was a pile of old shawls and hats that was about three foot high and about--about fifteen, twenty yards long (How they'd ever know who it belonged to, I don't know.), just piled together to be prayed over.

L-17 When I got to the platform, Billy, my son, said to me... We had just started preaching. Brother Espinosa... I walked up. We just had three nights, all we could be there. And I said, "Now, I'm going to speak tonight, as I did last evening, telling you all what Jesus was, and you seen Him here go out through the congregation. You seen Him restore sight to the blind. Look, laying there, what a pile of old crutches, and chairs, and things that the people set in."
I said, "It goes to show that their faith in the risen Lord has did this." And I--I said, "Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
And Billy come to me and said, "Daddy, I've got almost three hundred ushers on this side." And he said, "They can't hold a little woman." And said, "She's just about so high, young woman." Said, "She's got a dead baby, and she's been standing in that rain out there." And said, "Maana never give her..."

L-18 Maana... The word "Maana" means "tomorrow," and he was so slow till I called him "tomorrow." See? He was supposed to come after me... They'd say at five o'clock, and he'd get there about eight-thirty or nine. See? And I called him Maana.
He said... He was giving out prayer cards. Billy just had to watch that he didn't sell one. You see? That's what we have to watch, not... A person giving out prayer cards has a responsible job, and that's the reason I have my own son giving them out, 'cause people could be something done bad. And so then, he just watched him, and he give out the prayer cards.

L-19 And said, "He's give out all the prayer cards, and this little woman didn't get one." And said, "Them people has been standing." Just as far as you could see around that big bull ring there, with a... Been standing there all day, since eight or nine o'clock that morning when they opened the gates, and this was about nine-thirty that night, maybe quarter to ten.
And said, "And that little woman has climbed through them ushers. She's got a dead baby wrapped up in a blanket. She wants you to pray for it." And said, "She climbs over the top of their shoulders, runs between their legs." And said, "We just have to get back there and kick her off the platform (See?), 'cause I can't let her up here without a prayer card, 'cause it'll cause a riot (You see?), 'cause them people's stood there that long waiting for a prayer card."
