<TITLE>01. Par 1-8</TITLE>63-1124M, What Shall I Do With Jesus Called Christ?, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 137 min
L-1      Lord bless you, Brother Vayle. Morning, friends. [Congregation says, "Good morning, Brother Branham."] I'm always late. Billy was telling me I had, this morning, and I got around thirty private interviews, and I've had two of them, so, I believe two or three. So I just can't get to everybody, you know, and people waiting, and been waiting on the list for months and months. And the Lord has been doing some great things in there. Oh, He's--He's our God. Isn't He? ["Amen."]

L-2   Now I'm sure, this morning, that we're all aware of the great sadness that's happened to this nation, of the loss of our President, Mr. Kennedy. Though I disagreed with the man in his politics and in his religion, but yet he doesn't deserve to die like that. No. And leave those little children behind, and no daddy. And a mother that's... Mrs. Kennedy, though I certainly wouldn't agree with her, and her ways and things, maybe, but, remember, she's a mother. She just lost her babies, and she lost her husband. And he fell right in her lap, and her own husband's blood poured out over her lap. That's awful.

L-3 Did you ever think... Sometimes we think she sets a pace for the nation, in styles and things. That may be so, too. But did you know, Mrs. Kennedy never did hear one of these Messages I preach about that? If she might hear one of them Message, she might do different. And some of our sisters that hear it, and still won't cope with it. See? See? See? She was raised a Catholic; that's all she knows. Nothing against that, see. She... That's a system. Nothing against the people, the Catholic people. That's a system, the Catholic system, just like Presbyterian, Methodist, or any of the rest of them, see, or Pentecostal, any of it. It's the system, not the people.

L-4 Mr. Kennedy, I think, done a--a good job of being President. My heart goes out for his wife. And I feel real sad about it, that even our own nation would, the hoodlums and so forth in our nation, would do a thing like that.

L-5   If you can't disagree with a person, right, and take your own stand; and is no reason to kill another man, just because of things like that. And them little children know, said, one little fellow said, "Now I don't have nobody to play with me no more. Daddy is gone." See?
So I've always thought that would be my state, someday. It's almost happened several times, as you know, of being shot in foreign nations; when they've had to hold their bodies over me, keep me from being shot, at a distance.

L-6 So if a man dies like that... But, that's the--the price that's paid, that goes with the glory of different things. See? I think we average about every fourth President, one out of four, is assassinated, and I feel very bad about it. Shame that we'd have such a person in America, would do a thing like that.

L-7 And now, yet, as I said, I--I disagreed with his politics. I'm... I don't, didn't agree with his ideas of what he was trying to do. But, you see, he's another man. And I didn't agree with his system of religion. I--I certainly didn't agree with that. But, yet, he--he was raised that way. That's--that's what it was. As I said, maybe he'd a-heard something different, it might have been different.

L-8   We have a--a thing here we do, that whenever one of our people dies, or something, even though out... I think as a--as a American church, as a body of Americans...
The American people voted Mr. Kennedy in for President. And that was... That's the reason that we're a democracy. I didn't vote for Mr. Kennedy. I voted for Mr. Nixon, 'cause I knowed Mr. Nixon, personally. And I--I liked him, and I--and I voted for him, personally, because I liked him. But the peoples of this country, Americans, my fellow citizens of this nation, elected Mr. Kennedy. And the way they did it, well, that's up between them and God, but that's that much.
