The Hon Elijah Muhammad (THEM): “Well, my Brother Minister [Farrakhan], you’ve got-a lot-of-things lined up in the right and the most best way.”
Minister Louis Farrakhan (MLF): “Thank you, Dear Apostle.”
THEM: “I love to see you wise because that gives me pleasure because I’m your teacher…and I made such wise ministers.”
Group of Ministers: “Yes, Sir!”
Dr. Salaam (DS): “Yes, you gave birth to all of us.”
THEM: “So when I see you acting and speaking wise I have rejoice in my heart. I say this is the ONE (i.e. MLF) the world can’t bother. I want to prove to Satan that my minister is a greater light to the world of man than you and your world’s man---the whole of them.”
MLF: “Yes sir. Bless you Dear Apostle.”
THEM: “It’s wonderful”

THEM: “Well, that’s what I’m saying I can sit here and listen to you (MLF) and then I can step back and smile. I just need you to be Paul, you know. Go ahead on and put it out just like you are doing. You’ll put it out, sometimes I sit here—we all sit here and get a chance to listen at you, I listen at you brother, preaching Brother, and you’ll be surprised just to take a peak at the room through your spiritual eye and look at us. We enjoy it!”
MLF: “All praises due to Allah.”
THEM: “You [MLF] put everything in such proper place wherein it belongs. It’s beautiful! So we all is very happy over you, from Allah—that Allah made a helper.”
