<TITLE>42. Par 429-434</TITLE>L-429 Let me tell you something. I'm a missionary, you know, as... Now, I believe a missionary is a guy that goes and comes. That's a missionary. If you go over there to stay, they call that a missionary; but that's a homesteader; you just changed your residence. See? That's not a missionary. A missionary, he... Paul was a missionary; he didn't stay; he just kept going and going and going, a missionary: not change residence; just keep going, a missionary.
Now, in the missionary field, I'll tell you, down into the--the lowest regions of Africa, down to the little old bush-men... And they didn't even know whether they were human or not, for a long time. The British government, when they taken over South Africa, you go into a little jungle and there'd be... You see the bushes... [Brother Branham makes a motion sound, "burrr."--Ed.] shake like a bunch of monkeys; and, look around, there ain't nothing. Happen to look, push up through the sand, you see a little black head looking around. See, he'd buried himself in the sand, run out and scratch the sand over him, real quick. They didn't think they were ani... They thought they were animals, for a long time. But you know how they found out they were--they were human? They had dogs. And a dog won't live with nothing but a human being (See?), and they found out that they were human.

L-431 And take one of those little fellows, and take one of the--the Basothus, or the Shangai, Xhosas, any of those tribes, don't even know which is right and left hand; always stammering, "blaw, blaw, blu," you know, and talking like that. And naked, women, men and all... I tell you what you do; you just let the Holy Ghost fall on him, and he'll do the same thing you do right here when the Holy Ghost falls on you. There's no uncertain sound about it. He never heard such a thing as speaking in tongues in his life, and look, here he's speaking in tongues to you.
But here stands the interpreter, this guy stand there and say, "Blaw?" "You want to be saved?"
"Blaw-ah." "Yeah."
"Is somebody up there that..." "Uh-blaw, blaw, blaw."
"Raise up your hands and receive it." "Uh-blaw."
Oh, oh, oh, my. Here he goes, speaking in tongues; never heard of it, knowed nothing about it. There's no uncertainty about that; that's Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. He'll go right into the tribe, and go to praying for the sick. You don't have to tell him.

L-434 And we American women, and you church members. I'm not talking so much to you here; this is taped, you know. You church members, out there wearing shorts, and carrying on the way you are. Every year you take a little bitty off; and then you have shorts, and then shorty shorts, and then shorty shorts with shorty shorts, and all like that. Well, you poor deluded church member, you're worse than they are in Africa; when them women stood right there that day, when thirty thousand received Christ as their personal Saviour, at one time. And you sing in choirs, and wear shorts in the yard to cut your grass, and downtown. You are worse than they are. You'll... They'll rise in the day of judgment and make you ashamed of yourself.
