<TITLE>16. Par 115-122</TITLE>L-115 I said, "That's all right." Brother Moore was there, and he's kind of bald-headed like me. I said, "She don't know who is who, so many people." I said, "Send..." And--and a couple the brethren, one of the brethren, from here at tabernacle, that he's gone to Glory now. I can't think of his name just at this time. But he was standing back there. So I said, "Brother Moore, go down, pray for the baby. She'll never know who, whether it's me or you. Just go on down. And not able to speak English."
And so Brother Moore said, "All right, Brother Branham."

L-116   He started walking down. I said, "As I was saying, fa-..." And I seen a little baby, little Mexican baby setting in front of me, just laughing. I said, "Wait a minute." And I said, "Let the little lady through."
Billy said, "I can't do that, daddy. She..."
I said, "I saw a vision, Billy."
Said, "Oh, that's different."

L-117 So we opened up the crowd like that and brought her through. Here she come, falling on her knees, with the prayer beads in her hand. I said, "Get up."
So I said, "Heavenly Father, now I don't know what You're going to do. I don't know whether You just want me to satisfy the woman by praying for the baby, or what." I said, "I lay my hands upon the little baby, in the Name of the Lord Jesus." Just the same thing I did to Brother Way, laying there on the floor, dead, the other day. And the blanket kicked, and that little baby started screaming. And it was to its life. When...

L-118   I sent a runner, Brother Espinosa, to go with her to the doctor, and get a sworn affidavit from the doctor, "That baby died." That was about ten o'clock that night. "Died that morning at nine o'clock, in his office, with pneumonia." He got a sworn statement from the doctor.
The papers couldn't keep that still, you know, so they had to come over. They interviewed me. And they said to me, he said, "Do you think that our saints could do that, too?"
I said, "If they're living."
"Oh," he said, "you can't be a saint until you're dead." There you are. See? And the people...

L-119   You see, other day, where they had this nun they played up, in the paper? So, a new saint died, oh, a hundred years ago, or something like that, and they made a... canonized her now, made a saint out of her. And they said that--that she come back from the dead and prayed for some sick person that had leukemia. Wasn't it? It was in one of the magazines. Just think how they try to play that up, and when there's hundreds and hundreds of cases right under the nose of the people here. What's that thing? For a thing to play the Protestant church right into it, see, make it think something.
And then the real works of the Lord, where it's perfectly vindicated, proved, they are daresn't to touch the paper with it. There you are. They received an invitation and turned it down. Yes, sir.

L-120 They can't understand how a simple Message, a simple people, to reject a thing like that would cause them to go into chaos.

L-121   A woman said to me, Grant's Pass, Oregon, some time ago, Catholic girl come out there to condemn and write up. She was a newspaper reporter, pack of cigarettes in her hand. And she said, "I want to talk to you."
I said, "What is it you want to say?"
She said, "I wanted to ask you some questions about this religion of yours."
And I said, "What is it you want to ask?"
And she said, "By what authority you do this?"

L-122 I said, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, by a Divine call." And she went ahead, smarting off. I said, "Just a minute."
She said, "If I had to associate with that bunch of ignoramuses up there," she said, "I wouldn't even want to be a Christian." She said, "And if them... They say that them people will rule the earth someday." She said, "I hope I'm not here."
I said, "Don't worry. You won't be." I said, "You... have to worry about that."
"Why," she said, "all that there carrying on and screaming!"
I said, "And you claim to be a Catholic?"
She said, "I am."
