L-1 Minister then for our needs, all we were given, for we didn't mean to be saying it in a light manner. But Brother Moore, setting here, who's my manager, he said something yesterday about tired and we made up. I said, "Well, now, I've got to preach Sunday morning." I was in prayer line about four hours yesterday afternoon on the reservation. Didn't get much sleep last night, got up and had to go preach this morning. And then got up and had to come back this afternoon.
I said, "Brother Moore, speak..."
He said, "Oh, that's all right."
I said, "Then I'll just call you to the platform this Sunday afternoon then."
And when he said, "I won't be there"... And so we just talking just now; was going to be found. He--he said it...?... was hurting, that's what we was laughing about. Brother Moore was making himself, getting out of the way. Oh, well.

L-2 You know, life has some very strange things in it, doesn't it? They tell me that it takes eighty percent more muscles to frown than it does to laugh. So let's be real lazy then, and I said, "Just laugh instead of frowning."
My father, being Irish, had quite a sense of humor, you know. He said... To those spoken, he'd say, "Smile and the world will smile with you; and cry, you cry alone," or something like that, "Cry, and cry alone." So that's all that I... Be happy; you have not a thing to be scared about. Everything's all right if you're Christian.

L-3 I want to say, that yesterday was the highlight of my American meetings was yesterday. Greatest meeting I ever had on the American soil, was yesterday afternoon with the Apache Indians on the reservation. I have never in my life, ever seen the flow of the Holy Spirit like it did upon those Indians. I wish you could've been there. It was really remarkable.
It's just strange how the Anglo-Saxon people... I guess it's the westerner or something, he just simply don't... He's just a little too smart...?... that to really be able to perceive. The Indians believes it, and that settled it. He just wants to be able to see...?...
Was anybody up there that's in the building, was up there at the reservation? Yes, there's several hands here that was up there, marvelous.

L-4 And I couldn't understand why He kept dealing with me before we got up to the... It's been about nearly eight years since I was at the reservation before. And before we got there, all of a sudden, something settled down in the car, and said, "Pray."
Brother Moore was driving at the time. And there was some ladies, that used to be a teacher at the reservation, she was with us, and Brother Sharritt, our beloved brother and sister, and Brother Brown, Brother Tracy, and myself.
And so I said, "Let the..." Had Brother Sharritt hisself...?... of the other one. And so... And I said, "Just drive, Brother Moore, while we pray." And oh, my, what a season of prayer. The Holy Spirit just come down. He said, "Now, pray before you turn at the junction," or at the road that turns off.
So I--I didn't know no more where the road was than--than anything. And just as we said, "Amen," to the prayer before driving on, we were just turning in the junction lane, just exactly timed perfectly to it.
