There are many anecdotes in the Unification Church. This was when one area leader visited a village as a VOC lecturer. There all the important people of the town gathered. Starting from the chief of police to the county executive, all the public servants gathered there. However, contrary to their expectation to receive a teacher responsible for the lecture, they saw one young man with a short haircut walking toward them. At first, they thought that he was a helper of the lecturer, so they asked, "Where did you come from? Where is the teacher who is going to lecture?" So, the young lecturer hesitated and did not know what to do. Then, when they asked him where is Mr. So-and-so who is being sent by the Unification Church to give the lecture that day, he answered that he was that person. Then those who did not know that this young man was the lecturer made a lot of noise. They could not stand it because the lecturer was this young man who was about the age of their children. However, since they had made the official invitation, they had to let him proceed to the stage. So, the young man lectured for about two-and-a-half hours. They were all flabbergasted. All of the area leaders who served as the VOC lecturers were all young men in their twenties, right? These people were able to make friends with the county executive and chiefs of police, so they became quite successful after joining the Unification Church, isn't this so? Has there been anyone who has come to their ruins because have lived according to my words? (19-218)
