"A Poem of My Calling – Sister Gertrude Morgan – 1725 Alabo Street, New Orleans 17, Louisiana My Heavenly Father called me in 1934 on the 20th day of December 30 years ago. The strong powerful words he said was so touching to me—Teaching Holiness and Righteousness, that great work, was so dear. I did my Mission work in the black robe around 18 years. The strong powerful words He said was so touching to me." - Sister Gertrude Morgan
