William Branham said that he was overcome by fumes while checking meters at the Gas Works in New Albany in 1931.  When he went to a specialist, however, he was told that he had appendicitis and had to have an operation. Afraid, he requested a minister from the First Baptist Church to stand by him. During the time of the operation, he promised to preach the Gospel if God would restore his health. William Branham said that after this experience, he went into a field to pray, and saw a vision of a light that formed a cross. <ref>[[Life story by Julius Stadsklev]] and [[Life Story Tract]]</ref>
