Quotes 

• Preacher Jason : That man is a creature of hell. If he stays here, he'll turn this town into a hell.

  Marshal Allan Burnett : But he can't do it alone. Our problem is to keep him from stampeding us into helping him.

• Preacher Jason : The wrath of the Lord must move through his servants. Evil has come to us and it must be driven out.

  Marshal Allan Burnett : Crowds can get unruly, Preacher. Our common problem is a matter for the law.

  Preacher Jason : You're the law! And since you do nothing, I must!

  Marshal Allan Burnett : If you don't respect the cloth you're wearing, I won't either. You're inciting a lynch mob and I've got to stop you.

  Preacher Jason : If you're accusing me of hiding behind the cloth, I'm out front now. This morning, Marshal, I was all fired up about performing a wedding over you. Now if you make one move to stop us, I'm going to have to perform something else.

• Preacher Jason : I used my pulpit to teach the wrath of God - hell and damnation, the vengenance of the Lord. And I thought I had won you away from evil. But instead of conquering evil, I only made you fear God. If there's a second chance for us, perhaps I can teach you to love God and so cherish His Word that you can face evil and rise above it.

  Judge John J. McLean : A fine sermon! You can repeat it over at the saloon. I might bring the rest of your flock back!
