The Miracle Woman Page #5

Oh, bless you, brother.

Here, sit right here.

Who's that mug?

Where did we get him?

He's one of the town boys.

Used to be an aviator.

Is he really blind?

Yeah. Blind as a bat.

I wonder how much

he'd want for that.

How long have you been

blind? How did it happen?

I joined the Army

to see the world.

What's your name?

Well, I guess it

ought to be Daniel.

[LION ROARS]

Oh, it's glorious

to see belief like this.

A blind man has come into

this cage because he has faith.

Oh, didn't my Lord

deliver Daniel?

CROWD:

Hallelujah!

Blessed are the blind

who cannot see fear.

O ye that see, have the

faith of this blind boy.

He answered

the call of his God

to come up here

among the beasts of prey,

just as he answered

the call of his country

to go among the beasts

of war in France.

Hallelujah, my people!

CROWD:
Hallelujah!

Bless you, my friends.

I thank the Lord that you are here,

for I love every one of you,

and particularly this

blind boy, who shames us all

with a shining

example of faith.

And I would take

you into my arms

and whisper in your ear

the sweet secret of salvation.

Hallelujah!

CROWD:

Hallelujah!

Outside of this temple, the pulse

of the world beats with hate.

Hate!

But here within, there

is a heartbeat of love.

I want you to join hands.

Right where you're sitting,

join hands, everybody.

That's right, brothers.

That's right, sisters.

It doesn't make any difference

whose hands you grab.

Take the nearest to you.

I want an unbroken chain

of love in this tent tonight.

I want you to be one, not many.

One with me,

and one with God.

I want you to turn to

one another and smile.

Smile and let love and

sunshine into your hearts.

There now,

don't you feel better already?

Faith.

You have shown it, brother, by

coming up here with me tonight.

And I solemnly promise

that the day will come

when your faith

will be rewarded.

The Lord will deliver you

as he delivered Daniel.

He will open up your eyes,

and you shall see again.

Sister, will you put

that in writing?

Why, it is in writing.

It's in the Holy Book. It's in

every word, in every page of it.

You have shown faith,

and you shall see again.

Hallelujah!

CROWD:

Hallelujah!

[HUMMING]

Hey, who's dead?

Nobody, but Ill bet some of

us are gonna be pretty sick

before the day's over.

Did Hornsby send for you too?

Yeah.

GUSSIE:
If he bawls me out, Ill quit.

Ill bet you will.

VIOLET:
Me too.

That ain't half of it.

Wait till he starts...

The crummiest crew

of come-ons I ever hired.

Here I am, breaking

my neck to get crowds,

and we're packing them in to the

rafters. And what good does it do?

Night after night
