And I was standing there watching the people come in, and I—I seen some young lady come in, and I was going to go over and ask her if she wanted me to pray for her. I—I thought there was something wrong, and, with her eyes. And I'd seen leprosy, and glaucoma, ophthalmia, I'd… but I never seen any eyes like that. And come to find out, it—it wasn't that, ’cause here come some more in. It was some kind of stuff she had on her eyes. It was… I was just… was a good thing something stopped me or she'd… And she had some kind of a chartreuse-looking stuff down this way, and then some dark blue behind that and it… Well, I thought the poor thing was just about to die; I didn't know she was, she come in there and I thought—I thought, “That's—that's the first time I ever seen anything like that.”
Is that some new fad or something they're doing?
And I looked around, and I seen that, and I started go over and say… Oh, my, that poor girl, I'd just like to ask her what's wrong with her eyes. And I thought maybe she'd… I'd tell her that I pray for the sick, maybe that—that if… I'd like to find out what it was. I'd been in Africa in the jungles, and I—I—I—I—I never seen anything like that in all my life. And I didn't think about it being makeup. You know where—you know where makeup comes from, is from the jungle. That's right. It's a heathen trait. It—it don't belong to civilization. It's—it's the heathens; yeah, they paint themselves, and make, take mud, and I… That's exactly the truth; sure is. It originated there; that's where it belongs. It don't belong to civilization and a long ways from Christianity. So then, they… I never had seen anything like that in—in Africa, in United States, Switzerland, France, Germany, where I've been, about seven times around, so I never see anything like that. And I happened to find it in California. Was a good thing I didn't walk up; she'd have probably slapped me, wouldn't she? if I told her if I could pray for her for her eyes, you know, and…
I had a minister friend one time had come from Holland here, and he made a mistake something like that, and the girl never slapped him but it's a wonder she didn't. He was a little Hollander, and he was at my house. And he went downtown, and he was kind of middle-aged man. There was a girl walked out with them little, just little… hardly any clothes at all on. He hollered, “Oh, sister, sister.”
And she looked around, said, “What's the matter with you?”
Said, “You forgot your skirt.” And so—and so… And she just turned her head and walked down the street kind of… It's a wonder she didn't slap him, but poor fellow, he just thought, “Oh, my.”
I can't believe that we come from monkeys, but I, sure looks like we're going back that way.
