<TITLE>23. Par 262-270</TITLE>L-262   Now, we can't take too long. Let's see, we started from one to twenty-five, I believe it was, that night. Yeah, one to twenty-five. I... Brother Groomer, are you here? Brother Groomer? I don't pronounce that right. But I think that's right. One...

L-263 Well, let's start over somewhere else tonight. Let's start, let's start from seventy-five, then, to a one hundred. Who has prayer card number seventy-five, raise up your hand. Let's see if... Well, that's right. That's good. All right, come up here, lady. Seventy-five, seventy-four, seventy-... just seventy-five. Now seventy-six, seventy-seven, seventy-eight, seventy-nine, eighty, eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three, eighty-four, eighty-five, eighty-six, eighty-seven, eighty-eight, on to a one hundred. Let them come here. Where is Billy Paul? Excuse me. Okay. Get, go down there. Let some ushers help him till they get in the prayer line.

L-264   Now, the rest of you, look to me just a minute. Yeah. Do you love Him? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Let's just softly, sweetly sing, just a minute, while some of you usher brothers go down there. Oh, thank you. They got them, down there, so they... So the lines won't be mixed up. I want to pray for these people. Then, tomorrow, we'll probably be praying for the sick just the same, and on and on, till the convention starts. And I...

L-265 Maybe Brother Roberts may have a prayer line up there, too, up at the--at the place. I was thinking maybe both of us have one together, one on one side, and one on the other. But I--I don't know whether he would like that or not. I haven't talked to him, and I better talk to him first, you see. Brother Oral is a fine brother, is a real servant of Christ. And he would be humble enough to do it, but I just kind of hate to throw myself in there with a man like that, you see. So I just maybe better let it alone. Well, if he'd tell me, if he'd ask me, "Brother Branham, come help me," I'd--I'd be glad to do that. But, now, he's humble and very sweet brother. And if he'd ask me to do it, I, course, I'd do it. But I'd want him to ask me, first, you see. I better not say nothing about it. Don't you mention it to him, now, Just let--let him ask me, then I know it's all right. See?

L-266   But now--now we're going to see. How many take... Well, now, let's see. How many prayer cards is in the building? Let's see your hands. Oh, there's quite a few more, maybe fifty more. Forty, fifty more, maybe. Oh, yeah, maybe thirty more. All right. Now we'll get--we'll get...

L-267 We're going to get them. Now we're... Just hold your card, if you're not called. See, it's ten minutes after ten, and I--I want you to be at Sunday school in the morning. And maybe tomorrow, having two services, we might get rid of pretty near all the cards we got then, and then--then start off new for Monday again.

L-268   Where we at Monday night? Oh, we're down, say, at Tucson. Don't forget to come down to Tucson now, to the convention down there. Anybody here from Tucson? Yeah. Sure. Garden spot of the world, certainly, you should be from there. Brother Carl Williams is going to get after me for that, some of these days. When I first come here, they were rival cities, and I see they still are.

L-269 I'm used to that. Our ball, baseball, or basketball team at home, them rival cities, Jeffersonville and New Albany, oh, my, my, my! Whew! There's ever a night there's not a big bunch of fights, when they have a game, then I don't know where it could ever be.

L-270 They're constantly at it, I know, in Tucson. But Phoenix has out-growed Tucson many times, I believe, 'cause I... Tucson, I don't think is one-third the size of Phoenix. But...
