As I told Brother Benjamin just a while ago and he been knowing me ever since 35. I didn't get no letter in the office that he knew me. See this is the thing that. That's right! He knows my... If any man know my moral character that man and his wife knows! Because I was a young man in those days. He used to see women trying to get after me. He used to see me get after them and make them better. Never would fall for them, for that kind of stuff. All right, for long time seven years up and down that coastline. Right. My wife use to come and visit me sometime at his house. I couldn't come out here to visit her because they would kill me, in those days. All right, now the enemy that was after me in those days is dead. Allah told me the way he died. He told me you can go back there and I will be with you. And so he's dead.

Now this is the thing when we say Lot and don't follow it up, that don't go for nothing. As the Holy Quran plainly teaches us mere belief counts for nothing unless carried into practice. If one of these captains here say I will take my fruit and I will defend this Temple to the last drop of blood in me. But if we never see him even try to convince someone trying to scandalize the Temple, that you are wrong, brother this is the truth. If he never speaks up then, how can we expect him to go out here and spill some blood? The same. So if you go stand on the rostrum and peach to the people Brother Minister that Elijah is the Messenger of Allah and a man over there starts throwing mud in his face and you sit there and look at him. I'll wait and see if he going to wash it out. If he don't wash it out then I know the mud is due him. Maybe I am wrong myself. This is the kind of old thoughts you start entertaining. I know what you start thinking. Most certainly. But whenever I see that someone slinging mud in your face and I know you have did a lot of good around here. Well, what right do they have to say that, that man is not a good carpenter? When he built this house, he built a good house here. And now they talking about he's no carpenter. I am going to go tell them if I have to take a hammer and knock one in the head, I am going to tell them that man is a good carpenter and I defy you to disprove it. This is the fact. But If you don't back me up when I am tongue lashed how could I expect you to back me up if I am shot at? Shot at?"
