<TITLE>02. Par 9-18</TITLE>L-9   Notice, we all love to brag on--on the Lord Jesus. We--we love to. I had a woman one time to tell me, she said that's the only fault she could find with me, I "brag too much about Jesus." I said, "I'll sure go to Heaven if that's all the faults I had, bragging on Jesus." And so she--she just didn't think He was Divine. She tried to say He was just a man and philosopher, or prophet, or something on that order. But I said He was God. And so we...
And she said, "I can prove to you that He wasn't God."
And I said, "Oh, I don't believe you can do that."
She said, "Oh, I can prove He was only human."

L-10 I said, "Now, I'll admit He was human, but He was both human and Divine."
She said, "He couldn't be Divine."
And I said, "Oh, He was Divine, and He is Divine."

L-11 She said, "Oh, He couldn't be." Said, "I'll prove it by your own Bible."
I said, "All right."

L-12   And she said, "On Saint John the 11th chapter, on the road down to the grave of Lazarus, the Bible said, 'Jesus wept.'"
I said, "Well, what's that got to do with it?"

L-13 She said, "Well, if He--if He weeps, it proves He is not Divine."

L-14 I said, "Lady, your argument is thinner than the broth made out of a shadow of a chicken that starved to dead." I said, "You know better than that." I said, "He was--He was human as He went to the grave of Lazarus, crying, that's right. But when He straightened His little shoulders up, and said, 'Lazarus, come forth,' and a man that been dead for four days stood on his feet and lived again, that was more than a man, that could do that." I still believe Him to be that.

L-15   Sunday, while speaking, we... I was asking the people to turn around in the tabernacle and shake hands with each other. And there was a--a dear friend, I've just learned to love him. He just come into the church, he and his wife. His wife is a registered nurse. And he himself is an Englishman. She is a Norwegian. How that ever happened, I don't know. But--but, however, they're both fine people. And this--this brother has had a little something wrong, kind of in his heart. And very fine Christian man, and an intellectual man, too, he does secular work for accountants and so forth. And he turned around, and, when he did, a heart attack struck him, and he pitched over on the floor, dead.

L-16 And his wife, being a nurse, she grabbed him quickly, and grabbed his pulse over his heart, "He is gone." And I looked at his face, real dark, his eyes was turned back. Not just closed his eyes, but his eyes pushed out in front. And he was... I come over the platform, tried to get the audience quietened, many people was trying to help the sister, of course, in that condition, with her husband. Someone laid something over his head, or under his head, rather.

L-17   I took a hold of his heart, to... his pulse at his arm, and no more pulse than there is on that piece of wood. And then I knelt down and prayed, "Lord Jesus, I pray Thee, give back our Brother Way his life." And his heart beat four or five times, and started off beating regularly again. And he come back up again, and he was trying to talk. He couldn't talk, he was... The blood stops, you know, when the heart stops. And it was quite some time before his blood got circulating just right. And I heard him call my name, and then I got back in the platform.

L-18 Brother Way, I wonder if you'd just stand up so the people could see who the man was. That's the man that dropped dead, Sunday morning, of a heart attack. [The congregation rejoices--Ed.] Sister Way, his wife, a nurse who was standing there to take his pulse, to see. And see that he... So I...
