(1941)
“ You have a splendid building, and you own the entire village. I want to build a fort there. If we surround the village with thick walls and mount guns upon them, we can build a formidable castle. Please go home and live there. In batches, two thousand Children will follow you. You can utilise them for the building of the fort. Then build a house of solid iron. That will be the treasury of the Children. One by one, I shall send you the chests full of gold, silver and jewellery. You will use this wealth for the building of the fort. And I am gathering experts in the manufacture of arms. ”
