Mrs. Turpin is so angered and bewildered because she thinks the message that she receives from Mary Grace was a message from God.

They try to enter the church but are confronted by a black woman who disagrees that the white children should be there. Calpurnia says that they are just like anybody else and should be treated fairly. This shows that she is not racist towards the children and is like a mother figure towards them.
