00:00:14.440 --> 00:00:18.400
When I was a child, I speak as a child.

2
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:25.780
When I was a child, I understood as a child.

3
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:27.820
I thought as a child.

4
00:02:27.820 --> 00:02:31.620
If I was God, I'd make this a better world for everybody.

5
00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:36.880
In the Bible, he said all men are equal, and I think that's the truth.

6
00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:48.780
I would like to create the world with the peoples all good, and there would be no weapons and no one could get killed.

7
00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:53.780
If there was peace, I think it would be a lot better.

8
00:02:55.200 --> 00:02:59.640
If there might be another world, God says it's going to be another world, you know, in the Bible.

9
00:02:59.960 --> 00:03:06.660
If there's going to be another world, it might be better because there won't be no work, no nothing, just peace.

10
00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:11.580
I wouldn't mind having Michael.

11
00:03:11.660 --> 00:03:14.760
He planned it in his dream.

12
00:03:14.760 --> 00:03:33.060
I would like to be God because I don't know what I would do.

13
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.260
I'm lucky I ain't stuck with being God.

14
00:03:38.200 --> 00:03:42.660
When I became a man, I put away childish things.

15
00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:51.440
St. Paul's is a church in the inner city whose members, many of them, have moved to the suburbs.

16
00:03:52.320 --> 00:04:00.120
There is a group who is very concerned about the people of the community that so many of them do not know Christ as their Savior.

17
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:10.160
They embarked upon this venture not as social work, but as mission work, to carry the gospel of Christ far and wide.

18
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:16.160
You can walk down any one of these streets and get mugged, raped.

19
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:24.060
If you want dope, you can go right up here on Division and Wood Street, I guess it was, or Damon.

20
00:04:24.460 --> 00:04:33.160
There was a drug store and this guy made fake prescriptions so people could get jollies off or whatever it was.

21
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:41.180
There's prostitution here and almost anything else that you could possibly think of.

22
00:04:41.840 --> 00:04:43.480
This neighborhood is changing.

23
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:53.920
It was originally, I think, Norwegian and it went to the German and Polish and now Spanish, Puerto Rican, Negro.

24
00:04:55.760 --> 00:05:06.740
It's kind of seeping in and it's really a funny neighborhood because you still have your sections like Evergreen and Schiller along Hoyne there.

25
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.820
It's still Polish, Polish background.

26
00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:15.880
Over on Concord Place, one side of the street is Puerto Rican, the other side is Polish.

27
00:05:20.220 --> 00:05:22.140
There's this area of fear.

28
00:05:22.200 --> 00:05:23.800
One boy wouldn't even talk to us.

29
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:24.840
He just ran.

30
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:41.660
I couldn't see a better name for our church, for the work that we're doing right now at St. Paul because he had to be the greatest missionary converter for the Christian church.

31
00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:48.620
I knocked on the door and this girl, she had a blind, she said, who are you?

32
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:56.300
And I said, well, we're from St. Paul's over on North Avenue and we were wondering if you had any children here that would like to go to Sunday school.

33
00:05:56.460 --> 00:05:58.320
And she was a little scared.

34
00:05:58.940 --> 00:06:02.240
She thought Louis and Louis is what, six, four or something, and myself.

35
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:03.100
And she thought, wow.

36
00:07:08.820 --> 00:07:11.620
I'm going to go to the church.

37
00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:11.620


38
00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:11.620


39
00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:11.620


40
00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:11.620


41
00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:11.620


42
00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:11.620


43
00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:11.640
I'm going to go to the church.

44
00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:11.640


45
00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:11.640


46
00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:11.640


47
00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:11.640


48
00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:11.640


49
00:07:11.640 --> 00:07:11.640


50
00:07:30.840 --> 00:07:35.700
It has taken the children and given them something they were looking for.

51
00:07:37.060 --> 00:07:40.400
It has given them something that their mind has been searching for.

52
00:07:40.520 --> 00:07:44.620
It's given them a God, a loving God, a merciful God.

53
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:47.700
The world I would make would have just one nationality.

54
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:54.300
I don't know what nationality it would be, but there would just be one kind of people because people make too much out of it.

55
00:07:57.780 --> 00:08:00.560
I like the world where everybody got their own mind.

56
00:08:00.840 --> 00:08:01.620
They think what they want.

57
00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:08.960
If the average people and low people and the high people, they understand each other, they don't think they're better than nobody else.

58
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.880
I would like to just look down over the people that I created.

59
00:08:21.580 --> 00:08:24.860
And I would like to see how beautiful it is.

60
00:08:26.640 --> 00:08:31.140
Small churches, big churches, rich churches, poor churches, they hear about the work that we're doing.

61
00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:36.400
And they send clothes, books, anything that we can use, money.

62
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:38.520
They sponsor kids at camp.

63
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.520
Everything, you know, they're just all out for it.

64
00:08:41.800 --> 00:08:42.740
It's really something.

65
00:09:28.760 --> 00:09:31.560
The world I would make would have just one nationality.

66
00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:31.560


67
00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:31.600
The world I would make would have just one nationality.

68
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.400
St. Paul's is a church which intends to stay where it is.

69
00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:46.820
It intends to serve the community, to constantly proclaim to them the word of God, to show these people that there is hope.

70
00:09:50.860 --> 00:09:56.600
For now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face.

71
00:09:56.600 --> 00:10:02.200
I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known.

72
00:10:03.300 --> 00:10:08.880
And now abide with faith, hope, charity, these three.

73
00:10:09.640 --> 00:10:12.340
But the greatest of these is charity.

74
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:04.980
Thank you.
