AT the time Of my conversion
was prepared to be misunderstood. II
has been said of me that entered
into a compact with the bishops OF
the Catholic Church to go about
preaching. for which l was to receive
big salary. This is untrue. and II
you will bear With me. I'll tell you
what is absolutely true.
Before entered the Church / had
guaranteed income of $3.50 a month
and a beautiful residence built for
me by my people. Tonight I stand
before you without the guarantee of
single cent more than s45 a month
given me by the Catholic Church FIX

whatever I get I'm thankful for AS
God hears me. this is the absolute
truth. and if I'd had a million I'd have
given 1t up for what will it profit a
man to gain the whole world and suffer
the loss of his soul?
The only motive l have in giving
up my parish was to become a lay
man in deed and truth. and to go
wherever could do something for the
