<TITLE>04. Par 10-11</TITLE>L-10 I was just speaking of Indian. I remember my first dealing with Indians. I promised the--the Lord, to this missionary, when I prayed for the little girl, and sent her home, if... And said, "Lord, if You will let that child recover, I'll go to the reservation."
I remember in Phoenix, the first time was out at San Carlos, the Apaches, first Indians I prayed for. I always felt sorry for Indians. They didn't get a very good deal. We know that. And so that night at San Carlos, back many years ago, they'd... We'd went over there, and we said, "Indian only."
And so they were out on their reservation, and oh, when the sun went down that afternoon, it was beautiful to see the--all setting on blankets, and so forth, standing and setting.

So and you live out here with TB and everything, half starved, and everything else, and send millions over the seas for relief and there we are." See? So what... Charity begins at home, says the Bible. And to a real American... Remember, we are not Americans. They are. God gave them this country. We come in over the top of them, took it away from them by power, pushed them off out in the desert somewhere, in the poorest of land. So that's how... Give them a little pension or something another, about enough to feed one child. And I always felt sorry for them. My grandmother drawed the pension.
