:''But she, through her church society and the '''Ku Klux Klan, paid the hospital bill for me, Mason's'''. I can never forget them. See? No matter what they do, or what, I still... there is something, and that stays with me, see, what they did for me. And they paid the bill to Doctor Reeder. He is still living, lives here in Port Fulton, could tell you the story.<ref>SOULS.THAT.ARE.IN.PRISON.NOW_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-22  SUNDAY_  63-1110M</ref>

:''...'Cause I--I believe that the Masons are all right, but the Mason Lodge will never take the place of the Church, or the Blood of Jesus Christ. All my people are Masons, and they're all right as a lodge. But it won't take the place of the Church.

:''And the trouble of it is, you've got the church, till it's no more than a Masonic lodge, or any other lodge. The church is a house of God where Christ lives and manifests Himself amongst the people. That's right.<ref>BE.NOT.AFRAID.IT.IS.I_  BLOOMINGTON.IL  FRIDAY_  61-0414</ref>

''But he has to cause great fusses now calling our... causing riots, and big fusses, and everything else across the nations, and across the world just because he wanted to stick his head out about something. That's the ignorance of the man. That's right; hybrid again. Instead of leaving it the way God wants it, he wants to make his own way. He has to do something about it, you know. He has to make his own self a name. God be merciful to him. It's a pitiful thing.

''He makes white man, black man, red man. We should never cross that up. It becomes a hybrid. And anything hybrid cannot re-breed itself. You are ruining the race of people. There is some things about a colored man that a white man don't even possess them traits. A white man is always stewing and worrying; a colored man is satisfied in the state he is in, so they don't need those things.<ref>O.LORD.JUST.ONCE.MORE_  HOT.SPRINGS.AR  63-0628M</ref>

''What about the other day when we had this question of segregation, down in the South? When this governor of--of Alabama... I wish I could talk to that minister, that '''Martin Luther King'''. How can the man be a leader, and leading his people into a death trap?  If those people were slaves, I'd be down there, my coat off, beating away for them people. They're not slaves. They're citizens. They're citizens of the nation. The question of "going to school."

''To prove my point is clear, after they have integration (They have it now, legally, lawfully.), they're causing more trouble now than they did the first place. See? '''It shows that it is communism''' and not them precious souls that's borned of the Spirit of God.<ref>QUESTIONS.AND.ANSWERS.4_  JEFF.IN  COD  SUNDAY_  64-0830E</ref>

''We are coming apart, looking for a messiah (something) to come and save us, get us out of all of it. We look down... the troubles down in the East. We look over in Africa to the uprises, and '''the racial problems, and the integration, and--and segregations.''' And we all fussed and hollered here not long ago (our colored friends) about, "We must have, we must have integration. That's what we need. We must have integration; every man, equal, every man." Well, that's perfectly all right. That's perfectly all right. I don't believe in slavery. Them people wasn't slaves to begin with. They're not slaves.
