:24:00
Burn my house!
:24:01
Destroy my crops! Attack my family!
:24:05
And I declare to all...
:24:10
...especially to thee, Josh Birdwell,
wavering in thy convictions...

:24:14
...nothing can move me to violence!
:24:17
Nothing!
:24:22
It seems Friend Purdy has already
been moved to considerable violence.

:24:27
I misdoubt any of us here
could say with surety...

:24:31
...what we would do in case of attack.
:24:35
I have my doubts as to the strength
of thy convictions too.

:24:41
I have my own doubts.
:24:46
I've often asked myself...
:24:49
...what I would do if I saw
my family endangered...

:24:54
...my wife and children threatened.
:24:59
If the test comes, all I can say is...
:25:02
...I hope and pray I can be an
instrument of the Lord.

:25:06
That test is coming.
:25:10
It may well be so, friend.
:25:13
Let us pray that the will of God
be revealed to us...

:25:17
...and we be given the strength
and grace to follow His will.

:25:31
Lord...
:25:33
...let Thy children partake of Thy love
and the love of all men...

:25:37
...rendering not evil for evil,
nor violence for violence done.

:25:42
Let swords be changed into
ploughshares...

:25:45
...and spears into pruning hooks...
:25:48
...and children of peace
learn war no more...

:25:53
...forever.
