The Least Among You Page #2

which will be the most

technologically advanced learning center

of any seminary in the nation.

And we have

Mr. Stansfield G. Tremaine to thank.

Would you please stand, sir?

For the next several weeks, Mr. Tremaine

will be visiting some of our classes

in an effort

to get to know us more personally.

He too understands that our seminary

must turn out leaders

for these trying times.

Thank you, and God bless you all.

-Hey, there.

-How you doing?

-Samuel J. Benton.

-Richard Kelly. Nice to meet you.

-I'm sort of in a hurry.

-Don't let me hold you up.

Get on.

-You lose something?

-Finding it.

These folks are in such a rush

about getting new books,

just tossed the old ones out.

They're probably obsolete.

Ms. Kim over at the office,

she lets me know ahead of time,

kind of secret like.

You should see my collection

of obsolete books.

You read this stuff?

You should come visit sometime.

The missus would like that.

Thanks. Maybe when I get my head

above water.

These fellows around here

ain't used to a young brother like yourself.

You live around here?

Can you believe LBJ

lecturing the whole country?

"I will use every means at my disposal.

"The Negro man will win his right

to participate in his government."

-It's not a speech, it's a threat.

-There's never enough. Like Watts.

Watts wasn't just about looting

and burning and all that.

Watts happened

when people got sick of the brutality.

So they gave it back.

You know, just so I know,

why don't you use

that back shower from now on, okay?

You know, I think

I'm gonna stay in any shower I want.

What?

Hey, you know what,

you're finished here, Nick. Get out.

You ain't the only one around here

who knows how to use a knife, buddy boy.

Jesus sees a woman carrying jars of water

and asks for a drink.

She asks, "Why would a Jew

be willing to share a cup

"with a Samaritan

who the Jews think are unclean?"

He then tells her of her life as a prostitute.

Then?

She recognizes he's a prophet

and she asks him what he wants.

He wants her to stop sleeping around.

The disciples labeled her vulgarity

as a result of her Samaritan ethnicity.

Professor, it was racism

taught by Church leaders,

maybe like today.

I mean, Jesus called the leaders

a brood of vipers.

That's one interpretation.

He called us to be peacemakers,

not insurgents.

The Ecclesiastes says, "There's a time

for war and a time for peace."

What about a time for learning?

Include today's discussion

with the next four chapters.

Your essays are on my desk.

I didn't start anything.

He came at me with this dirty Negro bull.

Richard, we train young men here

in the ways of God.
