HOW THE ANGEL CAME TO ME, AND HIS COMMISSION CHICAGO, IL 55-0117 “When they was there to take pictures of Mr. Best, and he--he said... Before I went down there, he said, "Wait a minute. I got six glossies coming here." He said, "Here, shoot my picture now." And he put his finger in that old saintly man's nose, like that, said, "Now, take my picture." And they did. Then he drawed his fist and put it up, said, "Now, take my picture." And they took it like that. Then he done like that, to pose for his picture. He said, "You'll see this in my magazine." like that. Brother Bosworth stood there and never said a thing. Then they just took the picture of This.”

On the road home that night (Catholic boy took it.), he said to this other boy, he said, "What do you think about that?" He said, "I know I criticized him. That goiter that left that woman's throat, I said he hypnotized her." Said, "I could've been wrong on that." Said, "What do you think about that picture?" "I don't know."

They put it in the acid. Here's his picture; you can ask him if you want to. They went home, he set there and smoked a cigarette. Went in and pulled out one of Brother Bosworth; it was negative: pulled out two, three, four, five, six, and every one of them was blank. God would not permit the picture of His sainted old man standing there with that hypocrite, with his nose, or hand, fist shaking under his nose like that. He wouldn't permit it.

They pulled out the next one, and here It was. The man had a heart attack, they said, that night. And they sent this negative to Washington D.C. It was copyrighted and sent back.

And George J. Lacy, the head of the FBI fingerprint and document, and so forth, one of the greatest there is in the whole world, was brought there and kept two days on it to test camera, lights, everything else. And when we come that afternoon, he said, "Reverend Branham, I've been a critic of yours too." He said, "And I said it was psychology, somebody said they seen them Lights and things like that." And said, "You know, the old hypocrite used to say that (he meant the unbeliever) them pictures around, that halo around Christ, around the saints, he said, that was just simply psychology." But said, "Reverend Branham, the mechanical eye of this camera won't take psychology. The Light struck the lens, or struck the negative, and there It was."

George J. Lacy, examiner of questioned documents for the FBI, verified the photograph as being authentic. Here is his report:
