<TITLE>62. Par -</TITLE>L-100-1 One day, I was up in Green's Mill; I'd been praying for a couple of days; been many years ago. I went up here to Mishawaka. (I never said this on tape before.) I went to Mishawaka. You remember about the colored boy? I'd just found Pentecostal people; I never knowed there was such a thing. And I went up there and found them, and I thought I had a bunch of angels. I seen them speaking in tongues and things. I never heard of it before, but there they was, running up and down the floor speaking in tongues. I thought, "My, that's wonderful." The old UPC., and P. A. of W., and all them kinds emerge. They had--it was a segregation between the white and colored then; they had to have their convention up north. And it was at Mishawaka, Indiana.

L-100-2 My. I had a dollar and seventy-five cents, just enough to get me home. I put a nickel of it in some old used--old doughnuts or--or rolls (about two or three days old) went down and got me a jug of water at the hydrant, and went out in a cornfield and took my seats out of my old Ford and laid it down; pressed my britches for that night (seersucker pants I had on) and a little old T-shirt. And the next morning I went down again. I didn't want to eat with them. I was welcome, but I didn't want to eat with them 'cause I had nothing to put in their offering.
And so I went to find out that day they would dance; and they was prance; and they would sing in the Spirit. And I thought, "Oh, my, that sounds good. Um." One man would raise up and speak in tongues, and this one give the interpretation. And, brother, it was so. They called people back there in the audience. I thought, "Oh, brother, that's wonderful."

L-100-4 "Tell Miss Jones or So-and-so, Come right now; the Lord's calling her." Here she come. That's right.
Then, this one would speak in tongues, and the other one interpret it. I thought, "Oh, my, my. The millennium's fixing to start. This is it." And so I... "If I could just shake the hands of them godly men," I thought. And I went over to one of them when I was outside walking around. They didn't know me; I was a little old fellow out there. And so I went walking around the church and after while when they had a little recess, and I met a man out there, and I--one of them--and I shook his hand and I said, "How do you do, Brother?"

L-101-1 Now, you know God's give me a little gift here to find out things when He wants me to know it. See? I thought, "If I could ever get him to speak and just let him say something, I'd find out whether it was really true or not." So I seen that looked like to be the leaders of it, and I shook his hand. "How do you do, brother?" said, "How do you do?" And I talked to him a little bit, and he was a real Christian; he was, and I thought, "Praise, God."
After while I come around the corner, hit this other man, and I said, "How do you do, Brother?" and I got to talking to him. And if I ever talked to a hypocrite, there was one of them. He was a black headed man, and he had a baby by a blond-headed woman, two babies by a blond-headed woman. I saw it in the vision, right before me.

L-101-3 Now, I thought, "Now, I'm really confused. Now, how could that same Spirit, one be on a man, a godly man and the other on a devil, hypocrite?" I thought, "God, I better leave the whole thing alone, I don't know." I was only about nineteen, twenty years old, and I thought, "I just better leave the thing alone. Well, I don't know. How can the world could that be? I can't say nothing about it, I can't say nothing against it, but I know that man's wrong." And that same Spirit, I watched It; It fall there and take the same effect. I thought, "There's something wrong here somewhere. That's all there was to it."
