<TITLE>15. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 And then, when we stopped upstairs, and where my room--I got off. My, you could hear up-and-down through here, all the--the cigarette smoke a boiling, and--and the dirty jokes everywhere. And I started to walk up through the hall, and I heard a--somebody around the corner and it was two young American women, both of them wearing wedding bands, with their--just their underneath garment on. Here they come with a bottle of whiskey, staggering over one another, having a little clean fun, hubby home baby-setting.
There's where you get it. Just a little clean fun; that's what we call it. That's what all this here a--popular television screens, and all this advertisement out here, of whiskey and beer and smoking and stuff. It's the gate of hell. I may sound old fashioned, but my young sister, my young brother, remember, that is the gate of hell. He that loves that thing shall die eternally. That's true. "The soul that sinneth shall die. The woman that lives in pleasure is dead while she's alive," says the Bible. That's the truth. How the womanhood, that sweet...
Greatest thing God give man outside of salvation was a wife. She was to comfort him, to help him, to bless him, and to console him, and--and be a real companion to him. And today, it's so degraded, and demoralized, till I--it's... Why the hottentots of Africa could come here and teach our women how to live moral. That's right.

L-40 In the Africa there's a tribe of them back there, that if a woman isn't married by a certain time, she has to get out of the tribe. And if she is married, and before she is married she has to be tested for her virgincy. If she be found guilty, she has to tell the man that's done it, and they kill them both together. Be a lot of killing around the United States if that took place, wouldn't it?
Think of it. Heathen, it's a disgrace. It's a stain on that flag that our forefathers fought for. It's a disgrace to our nation. And when the womanhood is broke, and motherhood, in any nation, the backbone's broke. God give us old fashion mothers again.

L-41 I got a piece of the paper that was in our paper there, our local paper, that showed that three out of every four soldiers that went overseas during the other war was divorced six months after they were there by their wife. Went to work in powder plants, so forth like that...
Now, if a man is sick and his wife can't work, I mean, he can't work, I don't blame; his wife got to make a living. That's right. But if she's just out working to have a little extra money, you'd better keep her away from that scalawag bunch that's she's working with out there. Her place is home. That's it. Here she--she's supposed to be at home.
And mister, you might call yourself ever so good, but if you've got lodges and other things that calls you away from her at night, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. God gave you a home to--for cherish and comfort and things like that, and it's a shame to see the way man does their wives, and wives do man. The womanhood and fatherhood of the nation is tore to pieces, divorce courts piled full.
Jesus said it would be that way, "As it was in the days of Noah, they were marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered into the ark." It's a sin and a disgrace. Don't call me that kind--I don't...

L-42 As Jacob said in his death, when he called to his two sons that had killed that man, he said, "Far be my soul from your wrath. For in your wrath you slew a man."
Even his own sons said, "Let not my soul come near your wrath."
And I say that in my death, "If this spirit that's in America, if that's what I'm to be judged by, God keep me as far away from it as can be. Let me have the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Let something happen in me, no matter what has to take place."
