We next visited the Turner Hall, which had been mentioned as a place to hold the revival if the tent became too crowded. It was located upstairs and was one large room with chairs pushed back on each side, leaving the center empty. There was an elevated stage and in the background hung a large brown curtain. Bro. Bill said the curtain should have an opening in the center, which we found. Back of the curtain were several windows, and the tent, which was a few miles away, was where the bread of life was being fed to the hungry people. Bro. Bill stood on the stage and said, "Someday, sometime, I will preach from this spot and a little old lady, with white hair, will move her chair up here before me." | We next visited the Turner Hall, which had been mentioned as a place to hold the revival if the tent became too crowded.

Returning to the hotel, we found some ministers of the city waiting for Bro. Bill. He came into the room where we were and told us they had come to ask him to continue the meetings for a longer period of time than had already been planned. We realized the seriousness of his position and we kneeled down in prayer to ask for Divine guidance as to whether he should continue and that he would obey and completely surrender himself to the will of God. He went to his room to pray and read the Bible. Sister | Returning to the hotel, we found some ministers of the city waiting for Bro. Bill.

He went to his room to pray and read the Bible. Sister Meda (Mrs. Branham), opened the Bible to Isaiah, chapter 42, which reads, "Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect in whom my soul delighteth," speaking of blinded eyes being opened, etc. Bro. Bill returned to the ministers and told them, "If the Lord is willing, I will stay." | ||
We had prayer and went to the tent finding it crowded. Songs and praises were sung. "God Holds the Future in His Hands" was a special by one of Bro. Daugherty's congregation. "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Power in the Blood," were sung. Bro. Daugherty announced that more chairs would be had the following night if they could possibly locate them. After services, Bro. Bill called for the sick and afflicted. About seventy persons responded. | We had prayer and went to the tent finding it crowded. Songs and praises were sung.
