Walton's Mountain were burning a bunch of books because they were German (it was in reaction to Nazis burning books) and some tried to stop it by getting a woman of German heritage to read one of the books and translate it and she started with "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep...." so they stopped burning German books because they were christians? Any way we can wake up the mask burners? It is soooo weird and scary. Someone needs to somehow show these people these are vulnerable human children, not objects for the rich to use so to get away with paying no taxes.

Later at a community bonfire the Reverend makes a speech and makes a proposal to hold a symbolic book burning to protest those being held in Germany. Buck Vernon joins him with a bagful of German books he has collected and begins to throw them into the fire. John-Boy jumps up and challenges the men and the community to not allow ignorance to govern their actions. He felt it was his duty to inform them of the actions of a tyrant just like he would if a blight threatening their crops or a scandel threatening their government. After his plea he looks down at the books on the ground. He is shocked to see one book in particular and asks if their is anyone in the crowd that can speak German. Mrs. Brimmer rises from the protective anonymity of her seat and approaches John-Boy. He asks her to read the first paragraph which she does in German. Then he asks her to read the next bit in English and the crowd is agast that it is the Bible printed in German. John-Boy hands the book to the Reverend. The Reverend apologizes and hands the Bible and Mein Kampf into John-Boy's trusted hands. He then asks the community to join him in a hymn. Erin approaches John-Boy and apologizes for her harsh words.
