Calgary Paper Gives FineReport of BranhamHealing ServiceFrom The Albertan: "A panorama ofhuman emotions was unveiled by some3,000 citizens who packed Victoria Pavilion Wednesday night to witness or receivehelp from William Branham of Jeffersonville, Indiana, in his faith healing campaign."The U. S. minister's reputation of having helped to heal over 35,000 people ofblindness, lameness, cancer, polio, TB, andother sicknesses since he was imparted 'thegift of Divine Healing' about a year agoattracted men, women and children of everywalk of life.

"One ,of the first in the prayer line wasa man from Edmonton, who said he wassuffering from a 'protrusion of the disc inthe spine.' He claimed he had been toscores of doctors in Western Canada, andalso to the Mayo Brothers at Rochester.They said an operation of the spine wasnecessary, he stated. He told The Albertanhe could not remember when he was lastable to touch his toes without bending hisknees. Then, taking the man's right handwith his left hand, Branham described hisailment, and after prayer, told him to bendover and touch his toes. The man did sowithout bending his knees. A gasp went upfrom the huge throng and with a rush ofvoices, the crowd gave vent to their combined surprise and admiration." (FromThe Albertan, Aug. 21, 1947, Calgary,Canada) . ' .,

"Waukegan News-Sun"ConfirmsMiracles inBranham CampaignThe Waukegan News-Sun (Ill.) of14, 1949, had this to say about theanham healing campaign that was heldthat vicinity:"During the three days Rev. Branhams preached scores have claimed to haveen healed. Every case of crossed eyesich were prayed for was straightenedfore prayer ceased; many cripples anddly twisted bodies were straightened andaf people were able to hear."At last night's service, a young boyralyzed in arms and legs, twisted out ofape, was brought by his mother fromnsenville, Illinois, and was prayed for,

d immediately after prayer walkedaight and steadily from the platformthout aid."The same reporter, writing in THEMMUNITY NEWS, of March 24, 1949,id: "The main difference between Rev.anham and most everyone else is: toem the Bible is ancient history; "to himis just as vital and positive a force nowin the days of Jesus of Nazareth. Whatakes the story different is that Rev.illiam Branham proceeds to prove thatntention. During the Monday nightrvice alone nine people were healed whoere born deaf and dumb. Most of theseere born in this community or wereown here previous to their healing. Onethe deaf mutes was healed of blindness"One man who had come from Iowa hadcancer on his leg from knee to ankle,hich disappeared after prayer. In lastght's meeting children with paralysis,astics, and those suffering from mentalficiency recovered after prayer."

it will stop his wristwatch instantly. Thisfeels to Brother Branham like taking holdof a live wire with too much electric current in it. When the oppressing spirit iscast out in Jesus' Name, you can seeBrollier Branham's red and swollen handreturn to its normal condition. If the affliction is not a germ disease, then Godalways reveals the affliction to BrotherBranham by the Spirit. This first signusually raises the faith of the individualto the healing level; but if not, the secondsign does. A Seer

The second sign: The Angel told himthat the anointing would cause him to seeand enable him to tell the suffering manyof the events of their lives from llieir childhood down to the present time. He eventells some their thoughts while they arecoming to the platform or before theycame to the meeting. I heard him say recently to a mother bringing her little girl,"Lady, your child was born deaf anddumb; and as soon as you discovered shecould not hear, you took her to the doctor," and then he told the mother exactlywhat the doctor said. The mother said,"that is exactly right." The great audiencehears all this over the public address system. Brother Branham actually sees itenacted and pushing the microphone awayso the audience won't hear it, he tells thepatient any unconfessed andunforsakensins in their lives which must be given upbefore the gift will operate for their deliverance. As -soon as such persons acknowledge and promise to forsake the sinor sins thus revealed, their healing oftencomes in a moment before Brother Branham has time to pray. These statements bythe Angel are verified in the Branhammeetings nightly. before the eyes of thousands.Thus the great audiences witness nightlyover and over again three distinct types ofmiracles. The first two do not heal the suf

ferers, but only serve as signs to raise thefaith of the afflicted to the level where the"gift of healing operates for their deliverance." Of corurse, these two miraculoussigns are possible only while the anointingof the Holy Spirit is upon Brother Branham for this purpose.(Continued on Page C)

.."'Nv..Bosworth Revival, Ottawa, Canada-1924This is exactly what God has done for

Brother Branham. He does not begin topray for the healing of the afflicted inbody in the healing line each night, untilGod anoint-s .him for the operation of thegift, and until he is conscious of the presence of the Angel with him on the platform. Without this consciousness, he seemsto be perfectly helpless.Two Signs GivenNow notice, that God not only sent anAngel to be with Moses, He also gave himtwo perfect miracles as signs and proofsto the people that God had appeared tohim and commissioned him, under divine

guidance, to be their deliverer (Exod. 4:131). The first sign was that of Moses' rodbecoming a serpent, and the second signwas that of putting his hand in his bosomand having it become "as leprous as snow,"etc. God said to Moses, "It shall come topass, if they will not believe thee, neitherhearken to the voice of the first sign, theywill believe the voice of the latter sign"(Exod. 4:8). In the last three verses of thischapter we read that when these two signswere repeated "in the sight of the people,the people believed ... and they bowedtheir heads and worshipped."Just so, in addition to sending an Angelto be with and to prosper Brother Branham, He has also given him two perfectlymiraculous signs which have served toraise the faith of thousands 0' the humanlvincurable to the level where the "Gift of

Healing" operates.Supernatural niagnosisThe first sign: When the Angel appeared to Brother Branham, he told him how

he would be able to detect and diagnoseall diseases and afflictions; that when thegift was operating, by taking the righthand of the patient he' would feel variousphysical vibrations or pulsations whichwould indicate to him the various diseasesfrom which each patient was suffering.Germ diseases, which indicate the presenceand working of an "oppressing" (Acts 10:38) spirit of affliction can be distinctlyfelt.When the afflicting spirit comes intocontact with the gift it sets up such a physical commotion that it becomes visible on

Brother Branham's hand, and so real that

FOR more than thirty years during greatevangelistic campaigns, I have over-worked,praying for the siek and afflicted. Duringfourteen years of this time, we conductedthe National Radio Revival during whichtime we received about a quarter of a million letters, most of them containingprayer requests from sick and sufferingpeople who could not have recovere'dwithout the direct action of the Holy Spiritin response to the "prayer of faith." Wehave received multiplied thousands of unsolicited testimonies from those who havebeen miraculously healed of every bodilyaffliction I know anything about, includingleprosy. To God be all the glory becausethese results are impossible to anyone butHim. As a result of these miracles, manythousands have been joyfully converted,whom we would have missed had we notpreached the healing part of the Gospelon~e a week in all our evangelistic campaIgns.

Because this healing ministry has re-quired labor beyond human strength, wehave prayed, oh so earnestly for God toraise up more laborers to help in this sogreatly neglected phase of ministry. Andduring the past two years I have oftenwept for joy over God's recent gift to theChurch of our beloved brother Wm. Bran-ham with his marvelous "Gifts of Heal-ing." This is a case of God doing "ex-ceedingly abundantly above all that weask or think" (Eph. 3:20), for I have neverseen or read of anything to equal the heal-ing ministry of William Branham.

An Angel AppearsOn May 7, 1946, an angel who hadspoken to Bro. Branham in audible voice atintervals from his childhood down to the

present time, finally appeared to him and,among other things, told him that Christ'sComing was near at hand, and the Heavenly Messenger said: "I AM SENT FROMTHE PRESENCE OF ALMIGHTY GODTO TELL YOU ... THAT GOD HASSENT YOU TO TAKE A GIFT OF HEALING TO THE PEOPLES OF THEWORLD."On Page 1291 of the Scofield Bible, Dr.C. I. Scofield, D.D., in his footnote on

Angels says: "Though angels are spirits(Psa. 104:4.; Heb. 1:14), power is giventhem to-become visible in the semblance ofhuman form (Gen. 19:1 and many otherScriptures in both the Old and New Testaments). In Exod. 23 :20, God said toMoses: 'Behold I send an Angel beforethee, to keep thee in the way and to bringthee into the place I have prepared.' Andin Gen. 24 :40 we read, 'The Lord ... willsend His Angel with thee, and prosper thyway'."

high, He led captivity captive, and gavegifts unto men." The news of this divinegift to the Church, in three short years hastraveled around the world, and many urgent calls are coming from foreign landsand from missionary stations across theseas. Many of these have recently comefrom various sections in Africa. Some sufferers have been flown over the watersfrom other countries to the United Statesto be healed. When Brother Branham visits mission fields I believe th(;rewill be thegreatest spiritual awakening the Churchhas witnessed since the first century.Before closing, I feel that I must say tothose who read these lines, and are unableto attend a Branham meeting, that you canbe healed, too. Thousands have been miraculously healed through their ownprayer. God desires your healing morethan it is possible for you to desire it.Jesus died to make it possible. Calvarymakes everything promised legally yourpersonal property. "Every whit whole" isGod's will proved and demonstrated tomultitudes.Our healing literature together with the"Prayer of Faith" has brought healing tomany thousands. A continuous stream ofunsolicited testimonies are still coming tous from our radio friends and their acquaintances. My book entitled "Christ TheHealer," now in its seventh edition .(250pages), contains and clearly explains theBible truths which have set multitudes freefrom all manner of humanly incurable bodily afflictions when there was no one present with the gift of healing, not even anelder to pra.y "The Prayer of Faith."My booklet entitled "The Christian Confession," which shows what our affirmations should be for obtaining all redemptive blessings, is working wonders. Itstruths practiced will bring about the fulfillment of God's promises to heal or to doanything else He has promised in the Bible.F. F.

Camden, Ark., Meeting. Photographer called attention to halo of lightabout Brother Branham's head. Many people in the congregation saw thelight before the picture was taken, as he stood in prayer at the pulpit. Toget the significance of this, reader must notice spacing of lights. BrotherBranham is NOT standing between photographer and a light.

Sinners Surrender in MassAnd the best of all, sinners are thusbrought under conviction for sin andwant to be saved. In Rom. 15:18, 19, Paulspeaks of making "the Gentiles obedient,by word and deed, through mighty signsand wonders, by the power of the Spiritof God ... from Jerusalem, and roundabout unto Illyricum." I have seen asmany as two thousand sinners in a singleBranham service spring to their feet intears to give their heart to God." No won

der Jesus said, "Into whatsoever city yeenter-heal the sick that are therein."Invitations From Across the SeaQuoting Psa. 68:18, the Apostle Paulsaid in Eph. 4 :8, "When He ascended on

forward, their faith began to pull on thehealing virtue in the gift, and the healingdemonstration. was beyond anything yetwitnessed in a Branham meeting. While ontheir way forward, Brother Branham pointed rapidly to one after another saying,"Christ has healed you." The people threwtheir prayer cards into the air, threw downtheir crutches and those who could notstand or walk sprang to their feet, someof them jumping and praising God for joy.The demonstration was beyond description.One boy in a chair who could not stand orwalk, I saw spring to his feet praising God.A few minutes later, I motioned to him andasked the crowd to make wav and let himthrough to the platform. He 'walked to themicrophone and fairly preached to theweeping audience. The gift operated formass healing just as it had already donein the healing line where they were healedone at a time. The wife of the pastor ofthe Church of The Open Door phoned methe next morning that several members oftheir church were healed in this mass healing service the hight before. From now on,all who come to the meetings will havethe opportunity of being prayed for. Ibelieve that this procedure will make theHouston meeting (January 10th throughthe 27th) the greatest healing demonstrhtion the Church has seen for nineteen centuries.

(Continued from Page B)More Than "Gifts of Healing"o doubt, a few Christians here and there, durthe Church Age, and some at the present timee been endowed with the "Gift of Healing"ich is listed among the nine spiritual gifts in theh Chapter of I Corinthians, each of which is ded as "The manifestation of the Spirit" (I Cor.7-11). There should be laymen in every churchendowed.ut Brother Branham is a channel for more thanmere gift of healing; he is also a Seer as were theTestament Prophets. He sees events before theye place. I asked him, "what do you mean? Howyou see them?" He replied, "j ust as I see you:y that I know it is a vision." Just as clearly assees material things around them, Brother Bran, while in prayer during the day, seeSsion some of the principal miracles bethey take place that night. He seese carried in on ambulance cots, or sitin wheel chairs, and can describe howy look and how they are dressed, etc.ile being shown these miracles in adce, he usually becomes, for the time,onscious of things going on around. Not once during the more than threers since receiving the gift have theseelations failed to produce perfectacles exactly as he had already seenm in visions. At these times he canwith absolute certainty, "thus saith therd," and he is never wrong. He told met week that he simply acts out what healready seen himself doing in theion. The success of this phase of hisistry is exactly 100 per cent.Mass Healingust as an altar-call or invitation to sins follows an evangelistic sermon, so afthe supernatural diagnosing and healof those in the healing line, the inviion is now being given to those in theence who are prepared to receive healto come or be carried forward to beed or saved physically.The healing of one at a time on the platm is only preliminary to the main healservice. It is only an object lessonmon, so to speak, to all in the audienceo need the benefits of the healing partthe gospel.Just as a hundred sinners may respondthe invitation of an evangelist and exrience the still greater miracle of the newth in mass, so it was amazingly demonated a few days ago in the Louisvilleeting that the sick can be healed in massthe gift of healing. Brother Branhamtured on this procedure there, invitingse on cots, those in wheel chairs, andcrippled to be brought forward first,d then those who could walk on theirtches and those suffering with canand other diseases to come towardfront and stand behind the stretchersd wheel chairs.
