<TITLE>05. Par 7-7</TITLE>L-7 He said, "Say, I want you to go over here to Stewart's and get a--a book on: The Life of Mahatma Gandhi's son's." Said, "I want you to get: "The Talk to the Stars." And you tell...?... over there, that I sent you there." He said, "Say, Reverend, I like you." He said, "If you ever go overseas," said, "you know, when you can't get these yellow fever shots, around here anywhere," said, "...?... He's the main doctor out there at the--at the post--at the--out at the what? Fort Knox." He said, "I will get you yellow fever or anything, just get it for you free, too, Reverend."
I said, "Thank you...?... He has to say something about religion. So went on a little while. And so after while he said, "Say," he said, "I will tell you; them Mohammedans are smart people, aren't they?"
Said, "Yes, sir."
"Them Moslems..."
I said, "Yes, sir, they are." See? Smart people.
He said, "They've read a whole lot. You see?"
And I said, "Yes, sir. That's right; they've read whole lot."
"You didn't have much success getting those kind of people to your religion, did you?"
I said, "Oh, yes." He said, I said, "We had around thirty thousand converts in a day."
He threw down his cigarette; he said, "What?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "Is that a fact?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He patted me on the back; he said, "Boy. You must be a genius." There was my chance.
I said, "No, sir. I'm a seventh grade dummy, but my Lord is the Genius, the Lord Jesus Christ."
He dropped his head down. He said, "You mean thirty thousand converts in a day?"
I said, "Yes, sir." I said, "If you question it, you might call Sidney Smith, the mayor of Durban, and find out if that's right." I said, "There was more than that, but we just said, thirty thousand."
He said, "Was they Moslem's and Mohammedans? Are they...?..."
I said, "Yes, sir. They stood there with their aprons and things and wiped the red spots off from between their eyes, getting right with God. When they seen the power of Almighty God, moving, they said, 'That's enough for me.' They believed."
