M.E. so why should I tarry and throw myself away? There's nothing here to lose your soul for, but the devil. He's up and down. So in my Bible I read in Job. You ever read him?

N.H.S. Yes, I have. 

M.E. (laughter) God. The somber God all met and the devil met there with with Him and God asked him,'Satan where art thou?' 'Where you going?' He said, 'I'm going up and down the world, to and fro seeking whom I can devour.' If he can get you off your track and get you to forget about Jesus and His salvation, he'll do it. But he ain't gonna get. He's a dirty something (laughter). The devil is dirty. If he can get you he will but I'm not going to let him get me. I don't let nothing. We use to sing a song. One of the oldest members of my church name was Rosa Bradly. Before she fell sick that week that night in the choir she sang a song "Nothing Between My Soul and the Saviour." So there's nothing between Him. I'm not going to let anything turn cause you know the world is getting terrible. The getting dreadful. We're looking forward for Jesus and He's soon coming. That's right. Looking forward for Jesus and He's soon coming. That's right. Looking forward for Him. So tell Him I'm looking forward to a mark of a higher calling that's in Jesus Christ, and I'm not going to let nothing get between me. (laughter) So I don't want it. I pray for all of my children and all of my friends. I pray for my mother. 

I don't have any...I get my children, get my mother and we sit down there and I say mama. I talk. She has that bad hemmoroids.

N.H.S.I'm sorry.

M.E. Oh! She's been having that for the longest. She worries with that hemmoroid. She has to get medicine and thing to keep her bowels and things regular. She be worried so she tell me about it. I say mama you've had it so long you know what to do. I don't. She don't want to go the doctor though she get up there and get around thee and do more work then I can do (laughter). 

N.H.S. That's wonderful. Does she go to church? Does mama go to church?

M.E. No, she can't.
