I’ve gone through my files and tried to assemble everything said about William Branham in the Pentecostal Herald. It’s possible I missed some of it but here it is in chronollogical order.
I didn’t find any notices repudiating him or warning against him. The last item is by Bro. O.F. Fauss several years after Bro. Branham’s death.
This is neither a promotion nor condemnation of Bro. Branham, just what I could find in the Pentecostal Herald.

On Monday, Brother and Sister Brown and myself went to Camden, Arkansas where Brother Branham was conducting a revival meeting and it seems that the hand of the Lord is on this brother. He is used of the Lord in praying for the sick.

Norphlet. Arkansas-... Recently we also had a fine fellowship meeting at which five were buried in the Name of Jesus one of which received the Holy Ghost in the water. One of those baptized was a young girl who had been deaf and dumb but was healed in Brother Branham's services in El Dorado, Arkansas in December. Everyone could hear her praying and praising the Lord during the baptismal service. We rejoice in the Lord for His blessings and feel He is getting the church ready for His coming. W. A. Odom, Pastor. Mrs. Ralph Vines,Reporter

Sunday, February 23, we preached at Brother 0. F. Fauss' church in Houston, Texas, at the 11 a. m. service, and on Sunday night ministered to Brother Matney's Assembly, also in Houston. While there I had a good visit with my son Joseph, and his wife on Monday. Brother Pair of Picton, Ontario, Canada, and myself went to San Antonio, Texas to visit Brother Coote's school. As Brother Pair had never been in Brother Branham's meetings, we decided to visit these meetings also, as a Healing Campaign was in progress in San Antonio at this time. We were there for two days, then we went to Kilgore, Texas and ministered to Brother Spear's assembly, a nice group of saints.

A Remarkable Healing
Greetings in the name of Jesus. God has wrought a mimcle for us after 19 years of seeing our daughter suffer with that awful affliction of epilepsy. Those who knew her and saw her sufferings can rejoice with us for a God given deliverance. We had heard of Brother Branham being in Oakland, California and through the mercies of God and the kindness of our Brother Ellis Scism we drove over six hundred miles to get to Oakland. Our daughter had fasted for 12 days and felt that she would be healed. We sure thank God that when Brother Branham prayed for her, she was healed of this dreaded affliction and we are rejoicing in the Lord and praising Htm for His goodness to us. To God be all the glory.

Vandalia, Ill....We are glad to report the blessings of the Lord in a series of meetings including the Wm. Branham campaign of divine healing.... The Branham campaign was advertised to begin on June 22nd but Bro. Branham was unable to come until 3 daiys later...Brother Branham finally arrived and from Wenesdaiy to the end of the campaign the services and results far exceeded our fondest hopes. Cross eyes were straightened, blind eyes were definitely opened, deaf and dumb were made to hear and speak and cancers were healed. One man was carried into the meeting on a cot and God healed him of cancer and two nights later he returned to the service unaided and testified of healing and now works about his own yard. Demons were cast out of the insane and epilepsy cured. One girl who was deaf and dumb for some 18 to 20 years and who had never spoken a word was healed after being prayed for by Brother Branham. During the last Sunday afternoon one received the Holy and six were baptized. We surely thank God for all that was done during this campaign...J.H. Reeter, Pastor

Pentecostal Herald, August 1977 Your Questions Answered column by Bro. O.F. Fauss
In response to a question on
Malachi 4:7 ...A precious woman of God asked this question because there is a group in her area whose worship is geared through their love for a man, Billy Branham, who lived several years ago. He was killed in a car accident in the month of December and was kept embalmed (I suppose) until the following Easter. His followers were praying and believing that he was going to come back to life. The newspapers reported that about seven hundred of his followers were at his funeral. Some say they were expecting a resurrection, but he is still in the grave as far as anyone knows. May God have mercy for any person who can be led away from the TRUTH of God's Word and believe that
Malachi 4:s has any such fulfillment. Jesus said, In the last days many such heresies and false teachers will arise, deceiving many. "
