I has learned more in de last five years since dese conferences started, dan I ever knowed before in all my sixty years. We wants good leaders as will take de difficulties out of our way. * * * De people don't count as much on religion as dey ought. Religion is a mighty nice thing if you use it right. It takes a pious man to live religion. De longer de worl' stands de wiser it grows. Some of our people is getting too wise. Many likes to dance too much. De jail-house is full and we is running ex...cursions. If you see a man crooked, straighten him by the grace of de Lord. We hollers and shouts too much, and jumps like we was crazy. It is a sad thing to preach de Gos- pel, de saddest thing dis side ob de grave. Our churches is plumbfull of hypocrites. If a man preaches de pure Gospel dey don't want to hear it. If we had de truth, white folks could live and Niggers could live. Dey tinks more of a bad person than dey does ob a good one. You let a man preach de true Gospel and he won't git many nickels in his pocket; but if he hol- lers and jumps he gits all the nickels he can hold and chickens besides.
