Jones:<\/strong> There\u2019re folk in here that thought they were better than others, and they got to working together, living in common projects, sharing, beginning to concern themselves about other people\u2019s children other than their own kin. A new day happened. That\u2019s the beauty of socialism. Makes you a better person, in every\u2013 every respect of the word. And we share our common birthday, as we will for those that are born in uh, June, next Wednesday. When we give our sharing allowance, all children with the same allowance. And all children have the same Christmas. And all of our older people have the same homes and facilities to go to when they have no place in life. That is the thing that has made us<\/em> healthier. And I think if it works for us, it\u2019ll work for a whole lot of other people, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered response)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Thank you for listening to a message. This is not done<\/em>, but tonight many were out and it was a good thing to review some of the thoughts. Tomorrow we\u2019ll have a big day when all the people get here, we\u2019ll have to crowd together. If you don\u2019t like anybody then, you\u2019ll get to, because you\u2019ll be sharing b.o. with a lot of folks. (tape edit) If you do not have a slate of recommendations for voting, if you don\u2019t purchase this paper, you should. Not because uh, we\u2019ve become personally acquainted, I was long recommending it before two weeks ago when I got this special merit award for humanitarian\u2013 outstanding humanitarian service in Northern California. So it isn\u2019t anything that uh, we have been extending for uh\u2013 for selfish or our own uh, purposes. Listen now, will you? Get this slate of candidates. Let\u2019s unite. How many are uh\u2013 if they\u2019re\u2013 they\u2019re not registered, get<\/em> registered. That\u2019s a rule<\/em> to be in membership here. You must<\/em> be registered<\/em> to be in uh, good standing. You must vote. We must try the ballot, because if the ballot doesn\u2019t work, some folk gone try the bullet.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered response)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> So we better get to trying the ballot<\/em>. No one wants the bullet. No one wants to have to live by the sword and die by the sword (Matthew 26:52, \u201cThen said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.\u201d). <\/span>But if we don\u2019t use this process, this may be the last time in America that we\u2019ll have a choice, some kind of a choice. Isn\u2019t the best choice. I\u2019d like to be able to vote for Shirley Mae [Shirley Anita St. Hill Chisholm], but Shirley Mae cannot possibly win. We supported her earlier. Now the time\u2019s come to differentiate between Humpty Dumpty [Democratic presidential candidate Hubert Humphrey] and Mr. [George] McGovern. And that\u2019s a choice of a sort. And certainly anything would be better than Tricky Dick [Richard Nixon, U.S. President] so it is high time that we uh, give the support to McGovern. Mrs. [Coretta Scott] King has supported him, Julian Bond, various black liberation groups have come out in support. About the only ones that haven\u2019t have been the Panthers. And the Panthers, many of them, independently say that McGovern should be the choi\u2013 the choice. So I think that each of you should work hard and get out there between now and Tuesday and get your friends and use your cars<\/em> and vote for this entire slate. I uh\u2013 I find that I don\u2019t ever<\/em> disagree with anything that the uh, Sun Reporter<\/em> has uh, mentioned. I\u2013 I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a per\u2013 person here that I disagree with. We are fortunate to have an old friend of mine, by the way, uh, Doris Ward, who is the wife of our church attorney many years ago back in Indiana. She\u2019s gon\u2013 running for the ma\u2013 the community college<\/em> district, and I see that she\u2019s of the right stripe here too in Mr. [Carlton] Goodlett\u2019s eyes, because she\u2019s been recommended. We\u2019re very happy to have you, Doris, with us tonight. So uh\u2013 (clears throat)<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Introduce her, Marceline [Jones], to them. She\u2019s running fo\u2013 a\u2013 she\u2019s a\u2013 uh\u2013 on this column, I just noticed, a member of the community college district. She\u2019s running for uh, the college board. We certainly need<\/em> Third World people there<\/em>. So it\u2019s good to meet someone that\u2019s running. Mrs. Ward, stand up and let the people meet you. Get out there and run for (unintelligible word).<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And get this list. If you don\u2019t have the paper and can\u2019t afford it, we\u2019ll get\u2013 someone get this copied off for a bulletin, so that you\u2019ll know the propositions, city and county, the state propositions, all of you, please, in Los Angeles area, get this posted around there. Proposition 9, all the big bu\u2013 business has tried to kill<\/em> that proposition, and they\u2019ve probably successfully done so, but at least you can have a conscience vote. All the big money in the world\u2013 I don\u2019t know why we don\u2019t learn. When something comes out with a uh\u2013 uh\u2013 uh, a commercial every few minutes, you ought to know that\u2019s something that uh, we would be against if they\u2019re for it and for if they\u2019re against it.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered response)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (voice climbs) Uh, the whole radio and television media\u2019s been bombarding us, don\u2019t vote for Proposition 9. Well, I\u2019ve been doing some reading of it and I don\u2019t find it nearly as threatening. It isn\u2019t threatening our life, our economy. But it would<\/em> uh, put some restraints<\/em> on these big industries, and we could stand that. As I said about the mines, what a tragedy<\/em> in America, how we\u2019ve been so stupid with our damnable heaven religion instead of bringing uh, our God down to earth that we would allow an in\u2013 a double standard of justice to exist that people can die<\/em> in the mines with faulty<\/em> gas masks and not have regulations, uh\u2013 not meet regulations to have a mask for every individual and then have one out of three of the existing half s\u2013 uh, staff masks that they had fail<\/em> and cause people to suffocate, and people to be trapped in elevators to die because of safety failures<\/em>. Ignoring federal regulations. And as the paper said, the federal inspectors have not been reported to be in there, in some areas of the\u2013 of the\u2013 the studies have not been in the mines for thirty years<\/em>, and we\u2019ve been so stupid<\/em> that we would let a system get by with this kind of stuff. All<\/em> we have to do is to get together. We can stop it. We can stop it if we\u2019ll get rid of the religion<\/em> that they\u2019ve given us to be\u2013 have an opiate. Religion\u2019s an opiate<\/em>. Anything has to do with something tomorrow, when they tell you tomorrow\u2019s gonna be all right, don\u2019t have to worry about today, they\u2019ve lied<\/em> to you. (Voice moderates, then climbs) \u2018Cause I just went into that, we don\u2019t have to repeat that. The Bible shows you it\u2019s full a errors, so if we\u2019re going to have a heaven, we better build<\/em> one. And if you don\u2019t care about building one for yourself<\/em>, you ought to be unselfish<\/em> enough to do it for your children<\/em>. You ought to care<\/em>, we ought to care deeply<\/em> that our sisters like Angela [Davis] have had to go through all this hell<\/em>, all this hell. Anybody knows\u2013 th\u2013 th\u2013 this is impossible<\/em> legally from what little bit of law I<\/em> know, I\u2013 to be trying<\/em> this woman, when every person that\u2019s supposed to be in this conspiracy is dead. And weapons are supposed to be allowed, you\u2019re supposed to have a weapon in your home, and accuse her of conspiring and have no evidence at all that she conspired with anyone. Just because she had a weapon. All the\u2013 all the Charlie\u2019s and old (unintelligible) and Mickey Mouse\u2019s, they\u2019re talking about their right to have a weapon, but one black woman who\u2019s threatened every day and she gets a weapon and to think that\u2013 Uh\u2013 No<\/em> one would possibly<\/em> believe that she\u2019d be ignorant<\/em> enough to get a weapon and put it in her own name when you can get so man\u2013 clandestine ways, you can get weapons if you wish, then to get a weapon in her own <\/em>name and use it to\u2013 for a conspiracy to kidnap and murder. And we sit and let that get by. If they put her in jail, we need to raise so much hell that they\u2019ll get her out of jail.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause and cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> \u2018Cause the next time<\/em>, it\u2019ll be you<\/em>. The system just takes what it can<\/em>. Feels its way along. They\u2019ll do as much as you\u2019ll let them get by with. If we had protested, they wouldn\u2019t be dogging little people, they\u2019d respect us<\/em> more, but we\u2019ve never got together. Of course, in capitalism, it\u2019s pretty hard<\/em> for poor people to get together, but we can get our bodies<\/em> together, we can get our minds<\/em> together. We don\u2019t have the money to lobby like mines do. Now if you\u2019d\u2013 uh, if they fail to pay one dime of your income tax, they\u2019d throw you into jail. But Sunshine Mines has violated all those laws and murdered 91 people. Ninety-one people, they murdered due to ignoring the law and then the government didn\u2019t enforce<\/em> the law. It\u2019s high time that we saw<\/em> this. And I know a lot of you don\u2019t like to get politics in the church, but that\u2019s been the very, very weak point. That\u2019s been our vulnerable point. They gave<\/em> us religion, the first thing they l\u2013 set us down in the cotton fields. They knew<\/em> we wouldn\u2019t like to work in those cotton fields. They knew a proud people that had had a great culture and had\u2013 and had a great civilization would certainly<\/em> not gonna be apt to sit down and take it easily. Unless we give them promises and kept them\u2013 and their next generation from getting an education, kept them in ignorance and told them the only thing they could study was religion, about how good it was gonna be when they flew away after they died. (Pause) Well, we\u2019ve woke up, haven\u2019t we? Have you woke up now?<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (murmurs of agreement)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Have you woke up? If\u2013 if anybody flies away, we\u2019re good, we\u2019ll be there. Ain\u2019t nobody any gooder than in all the world, we\u2019re better than that Bible. That God in the Bible killed his enemies, we love our enemies and take them in and feed half the northern California. So if there\u2019s a heaven, we\u2019re going to fly to it.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered response)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> In the meantime, we\u2019re going to do something about making this heaven a little bit better, this earth a little bit better. (Pause) Well, in this\u2013 the last moment before we\u2013 How many are to be baptized tonight, or came here for baptism? (Pause) I think\u2013 What is it? I think we\u2019ll let you be baptized tomorrow, because you need to get a good night\u2019s rest. (Pause) Unless you prefer<\/em> to be baptized tonight. I don\u2019t care when you get baptized. First place, it\u2019s just a symbol<\/em>. Means nothing. Only an act of a good conscience towards a new day. If you really believe that uh, you want to be a socialist, then get baptized, symbolize<\/em> it. The water not going to save you. How many have any questions about reincarnation? Humanist socialists don\u2019t need motivation, but people who have religious backgrounds need motivation. Humanist socialist here, and ethical socialists realize that the power that I have is a paranormal<\/em> faculty. It\u2019s a uh\u2013 extra-dimensional<\/em> quality, it\u2019s an extrasensory<\/em> aspect. It\u2019s a para-psychological<\/em> facet, uh, an evolution of my mind. You need to be around it, it\u2019s a good thing to be around when someone doesn\u2019t let anybody die and hasn\u2019t for five years. That\u2019s\u2013 that\u2019s pretty good<\/em> to be around that kind of an atmosphere or to see that woman pass that growth last night. That bloody mass there. It certainly feels good<\/em> to be free of that pain, doesn\u2019t it, darlin\u2019? And uh, ethical socialists know what I\u2013 that I\u2019m an evolved<\/em> being. Religious<\/em> orientations, I\u2019ve got to be a God<\/em> substitute. You see the witness\u2013 the mys\u2013 the mystery. I have to be a God<\/em> substitute. \u2018Cause there no\u2013 there no granddaddy setting up there in the skies anyway. If he was\u2013 if he was and he could have as much power as they say he\u2019s got \u2013 \u00a0omnipotent, omniscient, omniluscent, omnipresent, all powerful \u2013 let Angela sit down there. \u2018Cause you give me the power, I\u2019ll free her. When you get your mind straight, I\u2019ll get her out of there. I won\u2019t do it the way you think I\u2019ll do<\/em> it, but I\u2019ll get her out of there. (short laugh) I\u2019ll do it.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause and cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And already we\u2019ve put two thousand dollars into her legal fund, as we have everyone that\u2019s protested in the civil liberties area and all the political prisoners in America, we\u2019ve been there with our funds. We\u2019ve put our money where our mouth was, because we know that when liberty\u2019s on the altar<\/em>, you and I<\/em> are on the altar. Every time liberty\u2019s in question for one<\/em>, it\u2019s in question for all<\/em>. That\u2019s the way they did with Germany. They just picked where they could. They got by with the communists so they started with the Jews<\/em>. They got by with the Jews, so they started with the trade<\/em> unions. They got by with the trade unions, they ended up taking every person that believed in civil liberties, Protestant and Catholic, because somebody said I\u2019m not a Jew, like Reverend Niebuhr [Martin Niemoller], the great theologian said, well, I didn\u2019t get worried when they came after the communists, I wasn\u2019t Red. I didn\u2019t get worried when they came after the Jews, I wasn\u2019t a Jew. I didn\u2019t get worried when they came after the Catholic Workers Party, I wasn\u2019t Catholic. He said when they got around to coming after the Protestants like me that wanted justice, there wasn\u2019t nobody left to protest for me. By God, there\u2019s some people left to protest, we\u2019re not waitin\u2019 til\u2019 they come after all us folks.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Say, you\u2013 you have a bad opinion of what can happen. Yes I do. My Indian relatives, the moment this state became California, half of my Indian population, my ancestors, were decimated<\/em>. Half of the Indian nation was killed<\/em>, in 20 years. I\u2019ve seen my people worshipping the Great Spirit, murdered<\/em> on the way to their religious festivals. Not only them, but their children<\/em> murdered, and their women raped. And don\u2019t talk about Indians teaching people to scalp. That was a white<\/em> man\u2019s art. The French taught people how to scalp.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019re people already dressed and want to be baptized, I\u2019ll baptize them. I don\u2019t care. I don\u2019t mind staying up all night, doesn\u2019t matter to me. Tell them it doesn\u2019t matter to me.<\/p>\n

The uh\u2013 (Pause) fact<\/em> is that the traveling evangelist minister, itinerant preacher was the hangman<\/em> even in Nevada as late as in the 1930\u2019s. Early 40\u2019s there was a lynching in Nevada. So don\u2019t think this system can\u2019t do it. It has<\/em> done it. We don\u2019t need to look back at all with any kind of uh, real clarity without seeing that they\u2019ll do just anything they choose to do when they get ready to do it. The Japanese were a proud people that possessed a great deal of the land, and they had got a little bit of capitalism, something we\u2019ve never gotten, due to the oppression and the terrible emanc\u2013 emasculation of our Indian and black culture. But the Japanese had something going, but they didn\u2019t have enough going. They took it all away from them and sent them into concentration camps. And uh, my friend, as I\u2019ve testified to you so often about his mother died in a Colorado concentration camp, for six months she died with cancer, agonizing death, and they didn\u2019t even give her an aspirin tablet. He sit and had to watch that. So don\u2019t tell me they won\u2019t do<\/em> it. If it\u2019s the Japanese they want out of the way, they\u2019ll get them out of the way. If it\u2019s the blacks they want out of the way, they\u2019ll get them out of the way. In fact, I agree with Clark [could be Ramsey Clark] and I agree with the\u2013 the choice uh\u2013 uh, a number of a\u2013 articles that\u2019ve come out from our best thinkers, I think there\u2019s already a planned<\/em> genocide. We\u2019re going to have to get together. It\u2019ll\u2013 it\u2013 it\u2013 it\u2019ll take\u2013 it\u2019ll take its place. Let there never be another time in history when people like the Jews went numb<\/em> to the gas chambers. Silent<\/em>. The SS, or the CIA of that day, the Gestapo, saw to it that there was no opposition<\/em>. Took the spirit<\/em> out of the Jews. Wouldn\u2019t even let them decry their faith when they knew they were walking to the gas chamber, in some cases. Some cases they didn\u2019t know. But in cases when they knew they were walking to bury themselves, dig their own graves and fall over, they wouldn\u2019t s\u2013 allow any crying or any kind of protest. Well, I\u2019ll tell you, I\u2019ll<\/em> never march quietly to any damned grave. They\u2019ll have to kill<\/em> me.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause and cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And I hope you\u2019ve got the guts that you won\u2019t walk silently in file and in (stumbles over words) a nice array, just as kindly and quietly and cooperatively as they want. I hope none of you\u2019ll do that. We saw it doesn\u2019t pay. The Jews did it thinking, I suppose, that finally mercy would come, but [Adolf] Hitler never had any mercy. There was never any mercy until every last Jew \u2013 nine million Jews \u2013 were murdered. He murdered every Jew he could get his hands<\/em> on. The more that came, the more he murdered, and that\u2019s what they\u2019ll do if you get somebody the likes of [George] Wallace and keep this kind of mess we got under Nixon.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Wallace said<\/em> what he\u2019d do if he got elected. Said I\u2019ll roll my chauffeur-drove\u2013driven Cadillac right over the bodies<\/em> of blacks. He said it in the last election. People\u2019s memories awful short. In Oregon he run in second<\/em>. Do you realize that man in Oregon, that once was a liberal state, Wallace run second<\/em> in the Democratic primary, and he\u2019ll make a good showing in the California one too, even though it\u2019s a write-in one. And he took Wisconsin. And he took\u2013 I mean M\u2013 Michigan and he took Maryland and he nearly took Indiana and ran in so close in Ohio. And the man\u2019s paralyzed<\/em> and (stumbles over words) an idiot on top of it. Never said anything, never said a thing\u2013 he\u2019s never made a campaign statement on any issue. The man has never dealt with one issue in American life, and he\u2019s won primary<\/em> after primary<\/em>. He\u2019s gonna have a great block of delegates we\u2019re going to have to cope with in that convention. And he lays there in bed, a bigot<\/em>. Corrupt politician without any intelligence<\/em> to speak on issues of our time, and he gains this kind of momentum because there\u2019s a lot of racism in America, if you haven\u2019t woken up. (Pause) We haven\u2019t got time<\/em> to go back. Somebody asked me back there uh, now uh, pastor, since I\u2019ve got in your church and I\u2019ve learned about the Bible uh, someone (unintelligible word) telling me that I should go to a church home, I should get a church home in Los Angeles. What are you talking about? What kind of church home you gonna get? You know a good church?<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered response)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Tell me where it is. Tell me where\u2019s a good church. Tell me any good church you know. Speak<\/em> of it. I don\u2019t know any. Name<\/em> one. This is not a church, this is a movement<\/em>, you (unintelligible).<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> What\u2019s the matter, you been\u2013 You haven\u2019t been listening. What would you want to go back to a church for? That sister knew<\/em> better. But some of the people telling her, people tell you, you gotta have a church home. No<\/em> true follower of\u2013 of this principle that I\u2019m bearing, no<\/em> true follower of that which I am, no<\/em> true follower of this God personification socialism, no<\/em> true follower, would it be in another church, you\u2019d already be out of it. Come up here and say I\u2019m gonna get healed and go back to another church. No, you won\u2019t. You won\u2019t get healed. You\u2019ll just get a heal long enough to get in this atmosphere, and when you get away from me, you won\u2019t stay<\/em> healed. You can\u2019t stay healed, unless you keep in contact with what this is. Don\u2019t think you\u2019re going to be able to take something good and then go back to that old cheap crap.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered response)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I want\u2013 I want to get it st\u2013 I want to get it straight<\/em> across our minds tonight. We\u2019re a small family, we can talk very plain<\/em> to each other. Not nearly all the family gathered together, so with this small gathering we ought to get our understanding<\/em>. You got no business<\/em> in other churches, unless it\u2019s some place where a freedom fighter\u2019s speaking. You\u2019ve got no business<\/em> setting under some Uncle Tom or Aunt Jane, driving around in a (unintelligible word) Lincoln or a Cadillac. You\u2019ve got no business<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (Calms, then climbs) Now (stumbles over words) I\u2013 I hope<\/em> that\u2019s as plain as it can be made. What would you<\/em> want to do that for? The National Baptist Convention, the biggest black church, had Doctor Billy James Hargis, that white honky from Tulsa. Had that honky. We threw him out. We threw him out. He said publicly in the national press, the only good nigger is a dead nigger. And to think that you\u2019ve got no more pride than to belong to the Baptist Convention when Doctor Jackson had that SOB speaking, he was a keynote speaker. He was a key note speaker in the last National Baptist Convention, and you think you want to go in that kind of a mess?<\/p>\n

Scattered voices in audience:<\/strong> No!<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Bishop [S.M.] Crouch in Los Angeles says, shouldn\u2019t get involved in politics. What you talking about, you holiness and Baptist people. When are you gonna quit being Aunt Janes and Uncle Tom, and when you going to get pride in yourself and stand on your own feet and be what you ought to be?<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Even like that SOB. Well, I\u2019ll tell ya, Jesus said something stronger than that, King James just cut it out. He said sons of hell, when he whipped their posteriors out and threw the moneychanger capitalists out, upset the tables and drove them down, there were a lot of strong words he said. I should know, \u2018cause I\u2019m still saying \u2018em (Matthew 21: 12-13, \u201cAnd Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Now I\u2013 I do hope that if you wish us to take care of you when you get in need, and we\u2019ve had a pledge to our membership to provide care for you through our convalescent facilities, our\u2013 our nursing homes, I\u2013 I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair<\/em> for you to meddle around with some crap when we\u2013 when we are expected to feed<\/em> our family, and we\u2019re gone take care<\/em> of our family when they need. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s right<\/em> for you to be involved in something else that\u2019s not right.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered response) (Pause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (Aside) Don\u2019t uh, Marceline. (Pause) Someone\u2019s in\u2013 in need on the telephone, we\u2019ll take care of it now. (Talks under breath, unintelligible) (Pause) (back to congregation) She\u2019ll be all right, \u2018cause socialism\u2019s<\/em> all right. (Pause) That\u2019s what upsets these churches. Have somebody that the people call God and then have him be a socialist radical on top of it. That really makes \u2018em nervous.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered response)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Have someone that can raise the dead and be a socialist radical. They can\u2019t\u2013 they can\u2019t get that together. They don\u2019t like that combination. (aside) Uh, yes, yes. Hmm. (back to congregation) I don\u2019t know of any church. When we were down marching around Saint Mary\u2019s Cathedral, wanting Angela to have a place to present her c\u2013 her case. Her mother [Sallye Davis]. That precious mother, when we gave our two thousand dollar offering. We marched around there with Doctor Goodlett, and there wasn\u2019t one minister in San Francisco, Richmond, Oakland, Berkeley, that would let us go in when that Saint Mary\u2019s monstrosity wouldn\u2019t let us in. Not one. Old [Hamilton] Boswell, Methodist, I caught him over to the side and I run over when I was with Reverend [Cecil] Williams and I said, Oh, it\u2019s good to see you. He goes, I\u2019m just out having a walk and having a stroll. He wouldn\u2019t get in the march. He got caught there by accident. (Pause) (voice starts to climb) They\u2019ve taken<\/em> our money. I saw Third Baptist Church in the Sun Reporter<\/em> this week. They got a edifice, a new edifice worth nearly a million<\/em> dollars. What could we have done for Angela or [Bobby] Hutton or all of these liberal\u2013 these fighters for freedom? What could we have done for them if we had that money, and what good has the buildings done us? Nothing. And tomorrow you\u2019ll be crowded, but I think you\u2019ll feel good being crowded in this, knowing that the building is also used for class work, knowing the people gather here to do work, manual work, quilting. Know that there\u2019s a school around here during the week. Know that there\u2019s film educations where we are taught the academics of socialism. Know that the pool can be used for physical therapy, and that every child that\u2019s needy in this valley can get in that pool and swim. I think it would make you feel<\/em> better to be in a practical<\/em> building that we built with our own hands like this, and because of it, we\u2019ve got a forty-acre children\u2019s home. And we\u2019re now out purchasing four senior citizen homes, a convalescent home, four college dormitories in two years. And if you get us together, we\u2019ll one day have freedom.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Right now, let us take our offering in the manner prescribed. Be sure to put your (tape edit) \u2013uh, in our group that had taken advantage of us. We were going through financial files, all these files\u2013 (tape edit) \u2013told not to, she died out on the street. I brought her back to life.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered) Yeah!<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> We gave her our modern equipment, we had her breathing. Said, I bring the breath back to her, but what\u2019d I tell you when the service began? That someone that was not obedient would be carried away in a stretcher. If you don\u2019t believe you need this family, I wish you\u2019da seen what happened out there to my workers. After I got her breathing, they came along, those honkies came along with their ambulance and took all the equipment off that I\u2019d put on her, jerked<\/em> that black woman and threw her on a stretcher and shoved<\/em> her in an ambulance, and she died en route.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered response)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> This woman that didn\u2019t go in the church, she felt like she better go to her Baptist Church. She shoulda stayed right there and been with us, \u2018cause there\u2019s a vibration in being near this person, being near this experience, being near this Godship degree or socialistship degree, there is a\u2013 a\u2013 there\u2019s a vitality<\/em> to it, but she had to go to her old church. Just as she was prophesied Sunday \u2013 and you know it, and you were out there \u2013 she died, and isn\u2019t it the truth? I got her breathing back, and she\u2019d been dead for five or six minutes when I got to<\/em> her, \u2018cause she was down the road. And they took<\/em> that equipment off of her, jerked<\/em> it out of her face and threw her in. That\u2019s what we count for, then\u2013 when you don\u2019t like me to say we\u2019re niggers, we are<\/em> niggers, and we\u2019ve got to know<\/em> we\u2019re niggers<\/a>, and we\u2019ll never get free<\/em> until we know<\/em> just what they feel about us.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered applause and cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> They treated that woman with\u2013 it\u2019s shame<\/em> how they treated that woman. Even though she didn\u2019t realize where her<\/em> bread was buttered and she didn\u2019t stand with us, it\u2019s\u2013 she\u2019s still one of our sisters under the skin. And to think that they shoved her in an ambulance without any<\/em> resuscitation and no one got in the back of the ambulance with her. (Pause) That\u2019s why I say, let\u2019s stick together. Quit buying all the fool stuff that Charlie\u2019s trying to sell you on TV, and get your money together so we can get the homes and a community up here. These politicians all been tripping in here. They know that they got to deal<\/em> with us, \u2018cause we\u2019ll elect this supervisor this next election or he\u2019ll uh, go out<\/em>, because we got enough votes<\/em> here. That\u2019s why we want to get more of you. There\u2019s 30 jobs<\/em> up here. Come here now, hear me now. There\u2019re 30 jobs in a factory. W\u2013 we\u2019ve got\u2013 they never used to hire blacks up here. One of our executives<\/em> now is a black person. (Stumbles over words) \u2013he\u2019s here, Norman [probably Ijames], some place around can talk to you. There\u2019s thirty jobs up here at this Boise Cascade far\u2013 firm, and some of you need to get your posteriors out there and become another family up in the valley so we\u2019ve got more strength, because we\u2019ve got everybody<\/em> respecting us. They don\u2019t love<\/em> us, but they respect us. The sheriff gives us protection when anybody\u2013 they\u2019ll put their own cars around here, \u2018cause he knows he goes in or out, depending on our vote. (Pause) Let\u2019s take this valley (breathless) over.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause and cheers)<\/p>\n

(tape silence for several moments)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> \u2013have come and they\u2019ve been healed and restored, their hear\u2013 their lives have been giving meaning. When I look out over this valley of young people, hundred and twenty-one young people in this church. They were once imprisoned by drugs. And now not one of these young people even have a violation of a law, not even a traffic<\/em> violation. No tobacco, no alcohol, no drugs. No race prejudice. Free from all those lacks and wants. Free from all that division. All that carnal now\u2013 that carnal awareness. Free from those aspirations of worldly gain, the a\u2013 selfishness, the aggrandizing spirit of mortal mind and animalism. Truly, beloved, you can only see God here, if you have a heart to listen, eyes to look honestly, you can only behold God here. I<\/em> do not require that you behold God in me. If you reproduce God to a greater degree by not seeing God in me and seeing it in yourself, then I\u2019m happy<\/em> for you. If you can sensitize yourself to a greater awareness of God, without recognizing me<\/em> as a personal<\/em> ministry of this five-fold heaven-sent order, then I\u2019m glad<\/em> for you, but in the meantime, if you haven\u2019t found all that you want of God, come<\/em> and follow me as I follow Christ. Take up your cross, as I take up mine (Matthew 16:24, \u201cThen said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.\u201d See also Mark 8:34, Mark 10:21, and Luke 9:23.). Let me speak in the person of Christ, as Paul said, what you forgive, I forgive also (2 Corinthians 2:10, \u201cTo whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ\u201d), anything you bind, I bind also, Paul said, and I do<\/em> it. Not in the name, not in a prayer, but in the person<\/em> of Jesus Christ (likely Matthew 16:18-19, \u201cAnd I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven,\u201d and Matthew 18:18, \u201cVerily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.\u201d).<\/span> (Voice calms) I\u2019m speaking in the office of the hundredfold ministry to those that need it (Matthew 13:3-9). But if you are unfolding on your own behalf, I\u2019m grateful for your aspirations and your manifestation. I do not require that you call me anything but Jim Jones. Just do the works of Christ. If you care to do the works of Christ, come and unite with me. If you care to live the apostolic life, we\u2019ll have all the agreement we need. You don\u2019t have to give me any<\/em> recognition whatsoever. Now when we take our hands again, in a different way, a different motion. (Pause) Just so that love is felt. Laying on of hands is a great art, it\u2019s a great ministry.<\/span><\/p>\n

God, God, we would see Jesus. On Sixth Street in some city, 127 Sixth Street. 127 Sixth Street. Does anyone have this address? (Pause) Yes, well, that\u2019s probably it. (Pause) Clasp your neighbor\u2019s hand very warmly and cordially. Identify with the need of another. Our life will move on as we flow like a mighty river into this man, into his needs, irresistibly victorious. We\u2019re going to be in harmony now with his needs, with the law of Christ that said lose your life and you shall find it (Matthew 16:25, \u201cFor whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.\u201d See also Matthew 10:39; Mark 8:35; Luke 9:24; Luke 17:33; and John 12:25).<\/span> Our constant desire in meditation is to perceive the need in this temple of God. Jesus said, ye are gods, so there is a God. I am God, you are God (John 10:34, \u201cJesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?\u201d).<\/span> The only God that we\u2019ll ever be able to see on this earth plane until we make it the kingdoms of our God and his Christ. (hums) Some long time ago\u2013 You\u2019ve never told me anything about your health.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> No, I\u2013 (unintelligible under Jones)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Or anyone here.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I hear, in the spirit, going back some years, that you fell down a stairway.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Yes sir.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Your left leg went to sleep on you.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Yes sir.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> This was then proceeded before that happened\u2013 you\u2019ve told no one this here in this assembly. Not a soul.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> No sir. No sir. No sir.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And not me, of course, \u2018cause I do not know a thing of your life. This is what we mean by the word the hundredfold. Hebrews 4:12, the word which is sharper than a two-edged sword, which is a discerner of the thought and the intents of the heart that can reach<\/em> in to an area of a man\u2019s<\/em> life that\u2019s shut up only to him and to God (Hebrews 4:12, \u201cFor the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.\u201d).<\/span> As I said\u2013 I was starting to say something about, this was proceeded\u2013 this was proceeded by pain in your low\u2013 your lower back.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Yes sir. I still have that pain in my\u2013<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Yes, I know. You have to take pills two or three tam\u2013 times a day sometimes.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Yes. Um-hmm.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Pain pills. Anacin you take.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Yes. Yes. Um-hmm.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> One or two times a day. You have pain in the head, in the neck.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Yes, I have pain.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And you had to use a crutch.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Yes sir.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Now, Spirit of God. You\u2019re not even been able to do things like\u2013 that you\u2019d like to bend to do dishes.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Or clean the house.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Or to cut the grass.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Not even to bend over to do the little cleaning, as you have said.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Yes. That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> In your consciousness.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Now in the name that I have come, the name of Jesus, I\u2019m crucified. The memory of Jim Jones does not linger on here, for in this great age, the age that is accounted worthy to attain resurrection. We neither marry, nor given in marriage, we need to perpetuate mortal versions or opinions.<\/span> Some think that we have to do that when we get ready to be in heaven. But Jesus said if you be accounted worthy for the new age, you\u2019ve neither married, or given in marriage (Luke 20:34-36, \u201cAnd Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.\u201d).<\/span> You hate what? Husband? Father? Mother and children in the sense that the ties for themselves. You must break them, the ties that is, that bind you. You must come out of all mortal versions. And if one wants to be worthy for the kingdom of God, you must be like the angels in heaven, if you want to be raised from the dead. (1 Corinthians 15, esp. 53-54, \u201cFor this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.\u201d)<\/span> The King James\u2019 badly butchered that, but a little of the truth still reigns there, that those who accounted worthy to attain to that age \u2013 that means something you have to do in this earth \u2013 and to the resurrection from the dead, neither married or are given in marriage, neither hold mortal family ties of those spiritual and apostolic ties, because they\u2019re equal to the angels as the sons of God (Luke 20:34-36). Because they\u2019re equal and then behave like the sons of God, being the sons of the resurrection. They bring forth resurrection life. I\u2019m speaking in the inner light to your<\/em> body, to the pain that\u2019s in your body to which you\u2019ve had all these years, way back in the early \u201860\u2019s, I\u2019m speaking to that pain and to that crippling condition. I\u2019m speaking to it now, brother. I command you to jump up and down. I command you to jump up and down.<\/p>\n

Announcer:<\/strong> He is jumping, he is jumping up and down! Jumping easily, jumping higher, he is jumping higher! (unintelligible)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (individual words unintelligible, as he tells the man to jump up and down, turn his head and bend over while telling the man there is \u201cno pain now\u201d.)<\/p>\n

Announcer:<\/strong> He is now turning his head from side to side. (unintelligible) Good God Almighty. (unintelligible)<\/p>\n

(organ music plays while Jones sings. People applaud, sing along with Jones)<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Better give that to D.V., a loved one. I don\u2019t think some of you recognize, this man has been a cripple<\/em>. This man has been a cripple, and God has healed him\u2013 has healed him. Something to rejoice<\/em> about. For years, for years. Something to praise God. Something to praise God for. And you just saved the life of a loved one. You just saved the life of a loved one by giving them that. Father, God Almighty, we thank you.<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Who has the loved ones named Carla and Raymond? Carla and Raymond? (Pause) Respond quickly. It\u2019s all right to be standing. What? (Hums) (glossolalia) (pause) I would suggest that uh, 1939, 1939. What is that? An address? I would suggest that inside, though I don\u2019t know you, you\u2019re a stranger to me that\u2013 Get the influence of the in\u2013 the liquor industry, you have a lot of wine bottles inside your home. Get them out. Though I don\u2019t know you personally, never been there. The liquor industry is one of the most discriminatory industries against black and Mexicans. No one ever gets to executive leadership. Not only do the hops in it cause cancer, get it out and it\u2019ll be able to bring health to your body. It\u2019ll save you from an early demise of cancer of the liver. These two cloths will save the lives of the ones that I just spoke. Listen and you shall live. Touch a little dog that\u2019s black and brown with a little white. Will you touch that dog, just as an act of faith? You come in here as a stranger, no man can no this, save God reveal it. So take it now, and it shall be done. (Hums)<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I would suggest no Olympia Beer. I think you\u2019ll understand what I\u2019m saying. No Olympia Beer. Olympia Beer. It\u2019s always connected with carcinogenic problems. I\u2019ll make\u2013 I\u2019ll make some notes here that will be given\u2013 the nurse consider. I would suggest that you\u2013 Naturally the Marlboro\u2013 Marlboro cigarettes, eliminate that and never, never drink Royalgate Vodka, 80 proof.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Right.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Uh-hmm. I know. Yeah I know it\u2019s right. I know it\u2019s right because\u2013 (tape edit) \u2013 (ministerial cadence) The Word is made flesh. God is here. (John 1:14, \u201cAnd the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.\u201d)<\/span> God, the hundredfold. Bless you. Bless you, bless you. Bless you. That\u2019s the hundredfold that I am reproducing. I am personifying<\/em> God so that you might know your rightful inheritance. (Colossians 3:24, \u201cKnowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.\u201d) I have reached out as Jesus commanded and let this mind be in me which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of a slave and yet considered it not robbery to be equal with God (Phillipians 2: 5-7, \u201cLet this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.\u201d).<\/span> I have reached out from poverty, from the low class system of being an Indian. I have reached out to show you that you can attain to the heights, that there is no limitation in your imagination as far as your apprehension of God. I have come<\/em> to show you that ye are gods, because I<\/em> am God (John 10:34).<\/span> Beside this spirit, there is no other. This spirit can inculcate in you and heal you, just as it healed me last night. When those that were shot, no one was harmed. The bullets came into my body, and I did not move from this seat. Yea, it is God! Nothing can stop, nothing can hinder this spirit, and if you\u2019ll recognize it and sympathize with it harmoniously, then cultivate it in the garden of your own soul and consciousness, you\u2019ll bring it forth, even to greater fruition than I<\/em>, if you will take cognizance of my teachings, you can reproduce a greater picture of Christ than I<\/em> am even reproducing (John 14:12, \u201cVerily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.\u201d).<\/span> This is the mystery of God. You have been held down in the imprisonment of the old mortal version that God<\/em> was out there, that salvation<\/em> is out there, but the sky is everywhere and is yet nowhere<\/em>. It is everywhere where there is nothing<\/em>. You can travel at the speed of light for thousands of miles a second and proceed for the next three million light years and not get out of this galaxy. Where is<\/em> your heaven out there? You cannot travel fast enough to find heaven. But lo, the kingdom of heaven is within you (Luke 17:21: “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” See also Luke 10:9-11.).<\/span> Today is the day of salvation. The righteousness which is of faith says that the kingdom of heaven is here.<\/span> (Voice lowers, then climbs) Don\u2019t say in your heart that you\u2019ll ascend into heaven and bring him down, or that you\u2019ll descend into the deep and bring him up from the dead. But I say as the righteousness of faith says that the word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart. (Romans 10: 6-8, \u201cBut the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.\u201d)<\/span> I have come to show you that God is personifiable in a human being. He said lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.<\/span> \u00a0Some place, in some shanty town, in some low p\u2013 valley of man\u2019s existence, in some area of privation, God<\/em> always has a body. He always has someone that will speak for him. He has someone<\/em> that\u2019ll be his oracle. Somewhere, somehow, in every age, in every dispensation, God said, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. I<\/em>, meaning a person, the personality of God, will never leave you, nor forsake you, not even unto the end of the world. (Matthew 28:20,\u00a0 \u201cLo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.\u201d) The same God that Jacob saw and wrestled with all night, and they called the place Peniel because he met God face to face. (Genesis 32: 24-32) The same God that talked to Moses (Exodus). The same God that appeared to Solomon, and Solomon described the color of his hair (mistaken reference to Daniel 7: 1-14, esp. Daniel 7:9, \u201cI beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool.\u201d). The same God that Isaiah said in 7:20, will shave after that day with a razor. (Isaiah 7:20, \u201cIn the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.\u201d) The same God that appeared to Manoah and his wife. (Judges 13:20-22: \u201cFor it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground. But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD. And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.\u201d) The same God that talked to Abraham (numerous times in Genesis, including Genesis 15, Genesis 17, Genesis 21)<\/span> (Voice drops, then climbs) He would be a discriminator if he would appear to a heathen king like he did the King Nebuchadnezzar in the fiery furnace. If he would appear to someone that was outside the covenant and not appear to you, then he would be a discriminator, but he said G\u2013 all things may change but God never changes. (Daniel 3)<\/span> They say it\u2019s the same today, yesterday and forever. He is the God that changeth not, so the God that spoke to Jacob, the God that walked with Jacob is walking today, if you can receive it (Isaiah 2:1-5).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Cheers)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> The God that spoke in the earth plane all those years ago in the millinneal and the antecedents of history. That God is still here. The same God, the same power and we can tabernacle him into an innumerable company of sons, if you will. (Hebrew 12:22-23, \u201cBut ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect.\u201d) If you will but see your God, you shall be strong and do exploits (Daniel 11:32, \u201c\u2026but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.\u201d).<\/span> Take your neighbor\u2019s hands. I tell you, you are God. I tell you, you are God. I tell you, you are God. (glossolalia) Thank you, God almighty!<\/p>\n

(tape edit) (pause) (organ music plays in background)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> God almighty, socialist justice. Tomorrow you can understand more in our teaching meeting at 9:00, after junior church. You can understand. Uh-hmm. I\u2019m not going to call out so many people tonight, it\u2019s just a family night. We\u2019re down in attendance. I\u2013 I think it\u2019s considered<\/em> by now that you should know I know what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Scattered response)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (hums) (tape edit) \u2013meditating on the good life, as I do some things I need to do. (hums) I\u2019m not\u2013 (tape edit) \u2013(unintelligible beginning) as the pastor, you better get out of there while you got your life. You understand me? A.M. is your initial. As long as you understand it. Just stay out of it. (Pause) Anyone that\u2019s ever lived on Diane Street? Diane Street? Hear what I\u2019m saying? Anyone that\u2019s ever lived on Diane Street? See me at the end of the meeting. (hums) Someone by the name of Pru? Pru? Mm-hmm. I wish that you would take one of these cloths. Mmm. (Pause) (tape edit) In the\u2013 If you would just touch the workshop, near where you are, the workshop, with that cloth. Just touch it. Just touch it with the cloth. You have any questions, speak to me at the end of the altar, I\u2019d rather not go into it any further.<\/p>\n

Man: <\/strong>All right?<\/p>\n

Jones: <\/strong>Thank you. Mrs. uh\u2013 Oliver. Is there a Mrs. Oliver here? Oliver? (Pause) Oliver? (Pause) Is anyone there named here by the name of Oliver? Hmm? (Pause) Chester, who is Chester?

Child:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> You don\u2019t recall? How old is your mother?<\/p>\n

Child:<\/strong> 41.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Uh-hmm. Born in the fall?<\/p>\n

Child:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> November?<\/p>\n

Child:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I don\u2019t know you, do I?<\/p>\n

Child:<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> You\u2019ve told no one anything here, is that correct?<\/p>\n

Child:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Your mother did, but I imagine that that\u2019s somewhat private, so one of the nurses will step up to me. I\u2019ll give her\u2013 give you something to give to her that\u2019ll save her life.<\/p>\n

Child:<\/strong> Thank you.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause and cheers)<\/p>\n

(organ music playing louder, then softer again)<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> You say tonight, if I told you there\u2019s emergency supplies that need to be taken care of and it is a requirement<\/em> of the prophet that you give as liberally as you can towards it. I\u2019m not going to say what<\/em> or appeal for any special amount, but we have allowances to give to children and our offering was not uh, up to par. Perhaps it was due to the no\u2013 the fact that we didn\u2019t mention it too\u2013 too much. I\u2019m asking you, if you wish to be under the pure mantle of prote\u2013 (tape edit)<\/p>\n

Woman:<\/strong> I know a guy that lives on Claremont Street in\u2013 in uh, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Well. Let\u2019s see. Yes? What\u2019s your name?<\/p>\n

Voice in crowd:<\/strong> (unintelligible)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> What? What? Um\u2013 Hmm. That\u2019s\u2013 that\u2019s what it is. These are preventions, I don\u2019t know you either. These are preventions from (pause) physical danger. I don\u2019t want to go into them tonight. I\u2019m not going into any more detail. I\u2019m quite capable of going into detail, as I uh, told a man I think over there what happened to him and where his pain began, what caused him to fall, didn\u2019t I? As I recall. Just take it, though. Take that and keep it with you. (Hums)<\/p>\n

(tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Ever had the address 41? This is very unusual. 41. (Pause) Saw a hand. Well, you better\u2013 better get to me. Better get to me. 41? Hmm? Uh-hmm. You have any sister M? Sister name begin with M? (Pause) You keep this around your back.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> Okay.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Put him on now, a kidney<\/em> prevention. There\u2019s some uh\u2013 there\u2019s some antecedent of kidney<\/em> in your background. We don\u2019t want to have any difficulty. You keep that on your back, it\u2019ll stop it, and the nurse will put you on the diet. I don\u2019t know anything about your relatives, and I don\u2019t know any place where you\u2019ve lived, but that\u2013 that\u2019s keen enough to know that only God can know these things. You\u2019re also new to us, aren\u2019t you? Hands clasped. (hums, sings softly) (Pause) (Sings) (Pause) (tape edit) Doctor named Stanley something V-R-C-O-N on Stillman Street. (Pause) Hmm. Hmm? Take this. I\u2019m not going into detail. I will say this, it\u2019s CA prevention. It\u2019ll stop cancer in your body now.<\/p>\n

Woman:<\/strong> Thank you, Father, thank you. Thank you!<\/p>\n

Congregation: <\/strong>(clapping, cheering)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Nurse. Nurse. Follow on. (hums) (tape edit) \u2013gin Mary in your home and an angel floating on the right. Angel floating on the right. (Pause) Well, I don\u2019t know anything we can do about that. (hums) Okay, let\u2019s get (unintelligible) (hums) Who has brothers Matthew and John? (Pause) See me at the end. I\u2013 A lot of these things that I\u2013 I don\u2019t want to go into great deal\u2013 detail here now. (hums) (sings \u201cThey are (unintelligible), don\u2019t you see?\u201d) (tape edit) \u2013Helen Price. Who is this? Helen Price. Sacramento? Um-hmm. At the end of the couch in the corner, there\u2019s a large green fluffy plant. Bless it. It\u2019s alive. Plants\u2019ve been even used \u2013 I\u2019ve never been in your home \u2013 it\u2019ll also stop in your female organs something from developing, because I\u2019ll be making a contact with that in the spirit. Plants have been, according to The Wall Street Journal<\/em> just recently, solving murders. They can detect the murderer who\u2019s come in and done violence. You understand what I\u2019m saying? It\u2019s on the front page of The Wall Street Journal<\/em>\u2013<\/p>\n

Helen Price:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> \u2013that they can uh, detect a person that comes in out of five hundred persons. Out of five hundred possible suspects, all the plants gave certain similar experience\u2013 (stumbles over words) emitted the same kind of energy on electroencephalograph, on a lie detector test, they emitted the same<\/em> kind of reaction. They\u2019ve solved three<\/em> murders in the East Coast. Plants are living. Love them. And as you love the little<\/em> things in life, it\u2019ll reproduce greater love in you. It\u2019ll also stop you from a death in\u2013 by cancer before August of next year. You can put that cloth on you.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> (Applause)<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> That\u2019s what\u2013 That\u2019s what the difficulty\u2019s been in the back. That\u2019s what your pain has been, the difficulty in the back. That\u2019s what it is, but now it\u2019s gone because God is here. Spirit of God. (sings: \u201cThere are blessings fo\u2013 \u201d (tape edit) \u2013And we can get them together with housing people in a moment. Uh, this Assembly of God minister sit\u2013 sitting next to you, who\u2019s in our church now, she\u2019s been a missionary. She\u2019ll provide the talk to you if you can be of any service to you, to cut down cost for providing place, we\u2013 we wish to do so. The birthdays in June will be up here after the meeting, as I will be passing out birthdays to everyone that\u2019s had a birthday in June. The workers will be here. Men, women and children, no minister here or worker gets any special recognition. We all get the same gift when our birthday comes. Children will gather at the front for allowances. There\u2019s any announcements, they should be made very quickly before we sing anything else in closing. Yes? Ah, yes, uh, I want uh, David\u2013 I want David\u2019s address. Do you have David\u2019s address? (Stumbles over words) What is it? The bed roll that you wanted is already at your house. I anticipated you. So, would you get the\u2013 Do you have David\u2013 David\u2019s an\u2013 address? Would you get it? I want everyone to write her grandchild. He was there when he saw the\u2013 uh, the dead raised Sunday and he\u2019s been a man\u2013 an engineer? And he\u2019s on the verge of wanting to move out of Los Angeles due to my prophesies and the conditions there, so let\u2019s uh, get that address and I\u2019ll write him. You have it, darling? Well, will you get it and uh, Rita Tupper, get it from her, tomorrow? Secretary?<\/p>\n

Rita:<\/strong> Yes. All right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Get it from her and notify it to everyone so that they can be written and invite them here and tell \u2018em we\u2019ll do in our power to help them. Karen assign special ones, the special ones to write. Because surely what we have is yours. As long as we eat, you\u2019ll eat, as long as we have housing, you\u2019ll have housing. We\u2019ll care for you when you are sick, as people can say. The sister we\u2019ve been\u2013 been walking around here that\u2019s in the wheelchair, she\u2019s been\u2013 being walked every day, done therapy free by the nurses. This is the way we operate and we will<\/em>. You just bring your needs to us, you\u2019ll not find anyone that\u2019ll be more loving to respond. Any\u2013 Any announcements of any sort? Yes? Attorney [Tim] Stoen. Now listen to these needs, whatever they are.<\/p>\n

Stoen:<\/strong> If it\u2019s all right with you, Jim, uh, uh, Tom Grubbs got a phone call from the assistant to Assemblyman [Alan] Sieroty asking us to uh, uh, circulate some uh, petitions for saving the beach, saving the ocean coastline, and if anybody would like to come up here afterwards who would be willing to circulate<\/em> one of these petitions around, we\u2019d appreciate it. There\u2019s a deadline I think of June 9th that these have to be turned in.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> One of the assemblymen have sent to us I\u2013 this letter\u2013 I passed on to Tom that had\u2013 Tom had been writing about, and it\u2019s urgent. I don\u2019t want just some<\/em>. I want you to take<\/em> it with heart<\/em>. Let\u2019s not let big business\u2013 We stopped it at my ranch when they wanted to take and chop up this beautiful country. All right. The power of this church and its motivations, this kind of spirit stopped it and we can stop this<\/em>. The mutilation of our beaches\u2013 If all of you will take a sheet, because the government<\/em> is upon the shoulders of Christ.<\/p>\n

Man:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> If you\u2019ve got Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27, \u201cwhich is Christ in you, the hope of glory\u201d),<\/span> then the government\u2019s<\/em> on your shoulders. Now that\u2019s something that\u2019s never been taught enough. But you\u2019re responsible for this<\/em> world, because if you don\u2019t overcome the problems of this world, you\u2019ll face them again, and again and again. Whatsoever you sow, ye shall reap (Galatians 6:7, \u201cBe not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.\u201d).<\/span> So be sure to get these sheets. How many will take a sheet and get signatures? Wherever you go, they\u2019ll be applicable. One of the congressmen of the state, the assemblymen have asked us to do this.<\/p>\n

Stoen: <\/strong>And we\u2019ll\u2013 they\u2019ll be up here in this corner to be taken up after the service.<\/p>\n

Jones: <\/strong>All of you that have birthday\u2013 How many have birthdays in June? Lift your hand\u2013 Let\u2019s sing to them. All these birthdays. Happy birthdays, all over the house. Keep your hands up so people can see you. Put both<\/em> hands up. (Sings) \u201cA happy birthday to you\u201d\u2013 (tape edit)<\/p>\n

Stoen:<\/strong> \u2013registered voters only to sign. Only registered voters. And I want them turned in tomorrow here.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Anyone else that has some change, would you bring up some change? (tape edit)<\/p>\n

Woman:<\/strong> People in\u2013 working with Penny Kerns, please go in the back.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Uh, the letters\u2013 the letter writing committee. Peace now. I need some fans here\u2013<\/p>\n
