<TITLE>02. Par 5-9</TITLE>L-5 Well, I moved around sideways. Said, "What's the little fellow so interested in, that he won't go to his mother?" And she run back a little piece like that. And I watched my tree. So she--she--she was going towards the cub, over to get him to come on. And she was afraid to get close to me, and then she was afraid to get to the cub. And she cooed around two or three times, and then went back to her other cub. And this little fellow was just setting there doing something, and I wondered what in the world was he doing. So I kept watching my tree, getting around sideways.

L-6 You know what that little fellow done? I had a bucket of molasses there for my pancakes, 'cause I like... I'm a--used to be a Baptist, you know, and I don't like to sprinkle them. I like to really baptize them, pour it on, you know. I had a nice bucket of molasses about this big, and that little fellow had got into this bucket of molasses. And you know how they like sweets? And he had the lid off of it, and had it hugged up in his arms. 'Course, he didn't know how to eat it, and he was socking his little paw down in it, licking it like that, you know, like that, licking the molasses. Well now, that was the last of the pancakes and molasses; I saw that.

L-7 So I said, "Get out of there," and he wouldn't listen to me, you know. After while he turned around, and looked, and he couldn't get his eyes open, molasses pulling his eyes back and forth like that: cutest thing I ever saw. Without a camera, you know... And he was molasses from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. And I stood there and laughed till my sides hurt. I said, "That's just like a good Pentecostal gathering." See? That's right. Get your hand in a honey bucket plumb up to your elbow, and just start licking, you know; and no condemnation or no fear...?...

L-8 The strange thing, after I got him away from there... He got to all the molasses, he finished them before he left. And he run out there to where his mammy and little brother was, and they started licking him. That's the way we hope this meeting turns out; the rest of them will try to lick some of the honey. You know...
That's a rude way to introduce yourself, isn't it? But I--that's only way I have of doing it. You know what I mean, and I'm sure you understand it that way. It's such a grand privilege to be here with you brethren this morning, and to know that--that you sponsor me under difficult. I... 'Course, as you know He reveals to me on the platform, He... I under... You know what I mean. See? Under difficults you do it.

L-9 Many times among the meetings, I don't know why, but sometimes people has got the wrong opinion of what I am trying to do. I'm trying to break down a barrier to make all men that's Christians brothers in Christ. See? And sometimes, that way I rap down on organization. It isn't that I'm against an organization (See?), not at all. My, I didn't join any, because that I felt if I stayed in the breach, I could have more influence than I could throwing what little influence I can on one certain group of people. And I'm very zealous of the Pentecostal move. I was a missionary Baptist minister. When I seen this, this was it. And ever since then, I've been very zealous of the people. I love them.
