Summary Note

This sermon is a continuation of one which began part way through Q 1059 (4) and which continues onto Q 1059 (6). Taking place probably in the fall of 1974, it includes several elements of a Jones address: descriptions of what Peoples Temple as an institution, and Jones himself, do for its members; reflections and predictions on government, politics and American society; liberal use of quotations from the Bible, mostly as a mean to discredit it; and reflections on the miracles and healings of the church. Full summary of the recording available at Alternative Considerations of Jonestown website, along with the tape transcript.
