Among the many testimonials and Songs of Praise -that came forth around the Banquet Table, was one in ' which the Speaker told of feeling de- pressed and down-hearted, and being unable to understand, why, until he was notified of the passing on of one that the world called a relative. He had considered that he was completely free from such attachments, but when the test came he found-he was not, and he was thanking Father to “fix it for him.” At the conclusion of the testi- mony Father Sang and Spoke as fol- lows: ' " 7 “Wear the World, wear-the World, wear the World as a loose gor- ment, etc.” “Oh wear the World so you can slip it right off ;_ Wear the World as a loose garment, Look at the journey and count the cost; Wear the World as a loose garment.” The Wheat And the Chad‘ Good health, good-will, and good ap- petite and a heart that is filled and thrilled with merriness! That is the way to have it——by wearing the World A as a loose garment, wearing the World so you can slip it right off, -and by looking at the journey and counting the cost. This is the great significance for each and every individual. One day or another you must come to that place wherein you must stand your test and your trial, and your test and your trials may be great. They may be to that degree whereby it is impos- sible to overcome, saving by the Christ Mind, and so it WILL be, but God WILL permit, for greater is He that is within. you than the oppositions that could be against you, All of the op- positions of life, all of the mortal ver- sion‘ of things, all of the human pre- conceived ideas and opinions from a fleshly viewpoint»-each and all of these expressions of life must be con- sidered as the chaff, and the Christ It is essential for time cometh when God shall separate the wheat from thechaff. The chaff , is the mortal version of all things, the human ‘idea concerning things that pertain unto you as individuals, but the wheat is the Spiritual interpreta- tion, and the Spiritual version of all things.

It is indeed Wonderful! If you find yourselves weighed on the Balances and wanting, in something, it will be essential for you to be over-balanced into the mortal version of things, and the end thereof is death, the same as all mortals have gone. But by wear- ing tlfe World as a loose garment, the Spirit of God’s Presence, withvthis conscious recognition and realization, will transform you by the renewing of your mind, and you will come to this Place in Consciousness wherein I Stand, wherein you are Called, that you might recognize your at-one-ment with your fellow brother and be One with God, It is indeed Wonderful! You cannot be One with God so long as "you live in mortal consciousness, living in a selfish state of expression in your mortal human conceptions, believing you are some special lim- ited race, creed, or color, but when you shall have thrown off the mortal version of things, which is the world, and the wordly mind, then and there you unify yourselves with. Him and you become to be manifestly the Son of the Living God. A New and Living Way When Jesus was baptized as a Per- son, according to the Gospel, we find through the immersion. of the Bap- tism, and through going down into the Baptism in the likeness of that which would be termed death—dying from His fore-ancestors’ orthodoxy, buried from them, out of their Re- ligious denominaions, denying the fellowship of them, the brotherhood of them according to the flesh, or in other words their ancestry, believing from a Religious point of view,,be- ing born again into a new Light of _Understanding—He was declared by the Spirit of the great Universal Mind Substance, to be the Son of the Living God, This burial in Baptism was but a slight sketch and a reflection of the whole of Christendom, when you are buried unto His Death, dying from the mortal version of things, and rising and walking in the newness of Life, putting on the old man with all of His deeds, all of your pre- conceived ideas and opinions, all of your human fancies, pleasures, and their tendencies, and recognizing God alone, as the Real, and the True, and the Living God. ‘You. are Resur- rected into a new and a Living A~Way, verifying that of which the Apostle said, if you are buried withOHim in Baptism in the likeness of His Death, you will also be in the likeness of low’ 'de_sires—desires pertaining unto : .

I-Iis Resurrection, “In that. you die, you die unto sin,” the mortal ver- sion of things, “and in that you live,’ you live unto God.’ Just to the re- verse of the opposite expression therefore, you can plainly see the great significance of dying to the mortal version of things, that you might live unto God. and be in the recognition of His Resurrection. Mortal Versions The Loose Garments Then as I say, “Wear the World as a loose garment.” Relatives, kin, friends, and all that may have claims, must be relinquished, and you must deny them if you are anticipating in- heriting Life Eternal. It is indeed Wonderful! Why? It is a matter of impossibility to serve two masters. It is a matter of impossibility to have two families. If you have two families, someone is in adultery. It is indeed Wonderful! Remember, one of the great Commandments is “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” Therefore, if you live in the consciousness of two families, one or the other mustbe ex- pressing and manifesting adultery. Jesus, the great Love Master, as a Per- son declared, while being a Sample and an Example for all of the In- habitants of the Earth——“You cannot serve two masters.” Therefore, when the test comes to any person that the Christ has Risen in, the person must be persistent in his ambition, and must be unshaken in his confidence, re- gardless to the situation, and live "in this recognition, God is your Relative, God is your Relatives, your Kin, and your Friends, and you never had an- other. It is true—Condescendingly He came, putting on a Bodily Form to ap- pease the mortal concept of the human mind, but remember dear ones, this was only done to appease the mortal concept of the human mind un- til you shall have grown to the mental and Spiritual age of maturity mentally and spiritually, whereby these mortal versions may be‘. overthrown, for-they are the loose garments of which Jesus was speaking. A “Wear the World as a-loose gar- ment—wear-the World so you can slip it right off.” Your tests and tribula- tions must come, but greater is He that is within you, than all they that CAN’come against you. The Christ Consciousness, in the Person of Jesus»- as a. Sample and as an Example He brought forth Himself to fruition as an individual, as a -Light and .as a Sample and an Example for the peo- ple. Condescendingly He came in a Bodily Form, “in the likeness of sin- ful flesh, for sin, to condemn sin in the flesh,” showing mankind how he should attune himself, how he should, put off the mortal version of things,’ how he should deny. human affections, how he should deny human relatives and kin, how he should get away from relatives, creeds and colors, and every mortal versionated state of expression, and live in the recognition of God your Father, a knowing within yourselves, you never had another. The Christ « In You This was the Mission of Christ, for there was a subconscious dormant knowledge within man, yet it had not" been resurrected and‘ brought to frui- tion, until Jesus, the Christ, came. But when Jesus the Christ came as _a Person, He Resurrected in Himself, as an Individual Sample and Example. that seed Idea, that man mightlobserve the great mystery of that great sleep- ing Giant that was lying dormant in the subconsciousnesswof them. The sleeping Giant is in each and every individual, the sleeping Giant is in all mankind, and that is why Jesus said, “The very works that I do shall you -do, and greater works than these, be- cause I go unto My Father.” Th.ere- fore the Christ, as afiample and as an Example stood, not taking any- thing for Himself as a’ Person alone, but asfa Sample and as an Example expressing the Majesty of_ the Al- He was but the seed Idea‘ of expres- sion as a Sample and as an Example for all mankind. It is indeed Wonderful! Expression Of the Word’ Therefore, when your test comes, remember the Christ in you is greater and bigger than all of your tests and all of your trials. Remember, the Christ that was in the Body called Jesus, the identical Christ that is in these individuals, brought the Knowl- edge and Understanding, and ex- pressed it in deeds and in actions in that Person, that you might copy after His Fashion apparently. It is in- deed Wonderful! When they‘ came and said, “Thy mother and brethren want Thee without,’ what did Jesus, the great Love Master say? “Who is My Mother, and who are My Brethren, and who are My Sisters? It is they,,that do the Will of My Father.” These are the‘ Clfa1'acte1'- istics, these are the ideas and opin- ions, and in short this is the Christ men, but first He came in -Jesus as an expression for ‘them. Allow Him to reproduce this expression not only in words, but in deeds and in actions in you, and as He has overcome, so will you overcome. That‘ is the only way to bring the Christ to fruition. The Christ in each, and every in- dividual is the same———-the same One that was in Jesiis, the same One that was inthat which was termed the Heaven in the Invisible, the same One Heiwas when He was moving onthe Face of the Deep,.as being termed Spirit. .

This was so plainly shown to us, as Father delivered this wonderful Message. Another important feature in this Message was, and the same was very thoroughly stressed by Father, when one goes out to carry this Message, they should be true exponents of the.Gospe1 of Jesus Christ, expressing the ABUNDANCE of all things, other- wise, it is not profitable not practical to the individual to say they are,‘ true representatives of Father Divine, neither are they express- ing or manifesting the Characteristics of CHRIST as advocated and lived and taught by Father Divine, hence, they are not reflecting credit to the TRUTH, neither can they obtain their rightful inheri- tance, when a forfeiture is made. _ Consider the Message: Ponder over it, and it will spring up into a Well of Living Water, and from it you can It is indeed wonderful! drink and thirst made you whole, Your FAITH has .made you whole, Verily, Verily I say unto you, Your FAITH has made you whole.” Goon HEALTH, GOOD WILL and % those who observe the TRUTH con- cerning ME, but they are advocating A this PRINCIPLE with ,or without 8.
