'''James Gordon Lindsay''' was the pastor at a church in Ashland, Oregon until he resigned this position in 1947 to become William Branham's campaign manager. He began the [[William Branham and Flying Saucers|''Voice of Healing'' magazine in 1948]], and documented William Branham's life story and miraculous campaigns in a book titled "[[A Man Sent from God, by Gordon Lindsay|"A Man Sent From God"]]. | |||

We stopped over at Calgary, Canada, where Brother Branham was holding a seven day meeting. We had the opportunity to assist in the prayer-line, and there had a close-up view of the ministry of our brother. In one instance, we watched as he talked to a man lying on a cot. At first there was no sign of an intelligent response from the man. Explanation then came from the wife standing by, that the man was not only dying off cancer, but was deaf and could not hear what was being said. | We stopped over at Calgary, Canada, where Brother Branham was holding a seven day meeting.

=Prayed for twice= | |||
One incident was of singular interest to Brother Moore and the writer. At the close of one of the services, as we were leaving the stage, a mother stopped and pleaded with us to pray for her little boy who was about five years of age and who was a deaf mute. She said she feared that Brother Branham would not be able to get to him. Brother Moore looked at me and said, "Lets pray for him." After prayer we took him to the piano and satisfied ourselves that he could hear the music and then walked off the stage. | One incident was of singular interest to Brother Moore and the writer.

=Conversions at the Life Story= | |||
The large tent was not only filled but many were standing on the outside as Brother Branham began to give the story of his life. ...As we observed the audience, we saw strange men freely applying their handkerchiefs as copious tears streamed unashamedly down their cheeks. The writer never saw an audience more moved. Finally, as the evangelist brought his message to a close and the altar call was given for sinners, a most remarkable scene transpired. Apparently almost every sinner in the vast congregation stood to his feet requesting prayer that he might be saved. Various estimates of the number which responded to this one altar call were anywhere from 1500 to 2000 people. | The large tent was not only filled but many were standing on the outside as Brother Branham began to give the story of his life. ...As we observed the audience, we saw strange men freely applying their handkerchiefs as copious tears streamed unashamedly down their cheeks.
