<TITLE>01. Par 1-6</TITLE>62-1013, The Influence Of Another, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 111 min
L-1 Thank you, Brother Neville. The Lord bless you. Good evening, friends. It's very nice to be out here again tonight at the Tabernacle to speak again about our Lord and Saviour, Who we are all in love with I'm sure, or we wouldn't be setting here in this hot building, jammed in the way we are tonight, if we didn't love Him. Because that's our purpose of being in, is to express to Him that we love Him. And our anticipations are--are greatly moved when we think of His approaching time. As we see the signs appearing of His advent, we are longing for that great hour that when we shall see Him.

L-2 Since I was here the other Sunday a week, there's been more has gone on to meet Him. One was Mrs. Ford, Mrs. Levi Ford. She was eighty years old, a precious woman. Her husband passed away some time ago. He was a veteran of the Spanish-American War. And in my life's story I mentioned her son's name. He's the one that was going to save me that suit, you know, after he wore it out, that--the--the suit of a--I believe it was a boy scout suit. And he... When I went to get the part of it, there was only one legging left in it.

L-3 Lloyd's perhaps here tonight, the same boy. And I had his mother's funeral the other day. And he asked me, said, "Billy, I wish you would speak on something that proves that my mother rises again." And the Lord gave me a message for it on a exact, positive... When the Bible, all nature, everything that God created speaks it, she'll rise again, who--who's going to speak against it then? God says so, proves it by His nature, proves it by His Word, proves it by her life, everything else, she's got to raise. Just--there's no way, there's nothing... Heavens and earth might fail, but that won't fail. She's got to come forth again.

L-4 Then day before yesterday, a manager that used to be with me, Mr. Baxter (Many of you remember him; he spoke right from this platform.), his wife died suddenly with a heart seizure. And he's very tore up and very sad; and I hope--trust you'll remember Brother Baxter in your prayers as you pray, 'cause he's one of our brothers. And he lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. And he hasn't been with me now for a number of years. And I heard that his wife had had a kind of a nervous break or something, and then all of a sudden she took a heart seizure and was gone. We just can't tell what time it's going to call. And then when it--He calls, we must be ready. That's the reason that we're here tonight.

L-5 I was in the study there--the office, rather, talking to Mr. Moore. He'd persuaded me... I had...?... I was trying to get away from Thanksgiving; I wanted to have a meeting here for Thanksgiving Day, and then go on to Shreveport. 'Course, I'd--wouldn't hardly be able to make it. And finally he said, "Well, if you're--got three meetings now and going have them Seven Seals later, then you could give us that one day anyhow." So finally, we was going give him that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And now, I promised him then Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And it'll be... Pentecost will be fifty years old in Louisiana the--Thanksgiving Day. It fell fifty years ago in Louisiana.

L-6 Now, tomorrow morning we're going to kinda press that everybody that doesn't have a--a Sunday school you're attending... I see our precious Brother Don Ruddell here, and I know he has Sunday school in the morning. And perhaps there's other ministers in here from around the neighborhood that have Sunday school. Now, we want you to go to your own Sunday school if you have one. But if you have no Sunday school, and you like to be with us, I want to speak in the morning, and put out a blackboard, and teach on "The Full Statue of a Perfect Man," and draw it out in--on the blackboard, and show God's requirements and how we come to the perfect statue of--of a perfect man before God.
