<TITLE>24. Par -</TITLE>L-728-211 And there they went down through there, and I seen a sign there, said, "Twenty miles an hour." And them men was going sixty-five miles an hour. Them poor old mothers running out there grabbing them little babies, little tots, naked, out there in the street, and from about two years old up to five or six: grabbing them little fellows, and screaming. He come pretty near killing four of them at one time.
I tapped him on the shoulder, I said, "Hey. What's the matter with you?"
He turned around, said, "What did you say?"
I said, "I said, 'What's the matter?' Slow that thing down."
Said, "We got orders to get through there on time."
I said, "I give you orders to stop it." And he said... I said, "Don't you have no feeling for them people?"
"What people?"
I said, "Them little babies out there you nearly run over."
Said, "That's Kafirs."
I said, "Shame on you. Call yourself a Christian?" I said, "Don't you know that mother thought as much of her baby, if you'd have killed it, as your mother would've thought of you?" I said, "She may be ignorant and unlearned, but a mother's love cries out for her baby. You ain't got no business for doing a thing like that. And you call yourself..." I said, "Another thing, that sign said twenty miles an hour; my Bible said, 'Give Caesar what's Caesar's." And he ducked his head. I said, "You slow it down to twenty miles an hour and treat them people like they were your brother." I said, "Shame on you, anything like that." Oh, my, they blowed up like frogs eating buckshot. But it didn't make any difference; I got my word in, my punch.
And we went around them people knew that I was for them, to bring them the--the message of the Gospel. And God...
They come in there. And mix them up, and put the white over on one side, and the colored, and there the colored... Didn't even speak one word to them or nothing. The Holy Ghost would go out among there and bring out the sick and the afflicted and the cripples, and heal them, and let them set over here in their big inferior complex built up over there. Shows how God deals with the humble in heart.

L-729-218 Now, that's a person hasn't received the message yet and he's writing that book.
Now, what must I do? The thing, what must I... Am--am I to return there? Now, if God is calling me to evangelism, then I cannot be His seer and evangelist at the same time. You just... it... The offices won't mix; I'm--I'm just... I'm fighting the wind. If I'm going to be an evangelist, I'll have to be an evangelist. If I'm going to be His seer, I'll refrain to the mountains somewhere and stay away: no church, no congregation, till I hear from the Lord; and stomp out and give it, and stomp back again. See? One of those things, it's weighing in the balance. Or either it's over: just has to be one of those three things, to me. The message is finished or either I got to get one of these two things to do. I don't know what to do.
