OUR FATHERS MESSAGE AT THE BANQUET TABLE, 20 WEST 115TH STREET, NEW YORK CITY, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 5TH, 1935- TIME: 4:00 I’. M. According to the Original _Song com- posed by FATHER, and often sung to us, by HIM, WE, the Soldiers of this Great “DIVINE ARMY,” with the BANNER of HIS LOVE o'er us, we DO HEREBY SHOUT the Chorus—Loudly, proudly, shouting, tramping. You can hear the Angels say. Listen! Listen! HEAR them chanting: “We are in another DAY." Hear them make vth ~ TION. Every Languag Nation.

Some, however, have not received the awakening as spon- taneously as others, but they were W111. ‘W 1' v. \'..;-;«1r,,.;=-,-,:’.« '1‘ rfully, hear U them praising GOD so chee ully. Al- ing to travel on_, for in this Radius they‘ could behold a successful destiny. They could see the RADIANCE emanating from the Center of this Circumference-, that was not discerned from any other point in the Circumference, hence, thou- sands upon thousands are witness bearers today, of the EFFICACY of this TRUE LIGHT of UNDERSTANDING, through their persistency to hold FAST to that which they believed to be the ZENITH. Those who open-mindedly investigated this, what they considered to be, “UN- BELIEVABLE MYSTERY,” have put aside “the old man, with all of his deeds,” r ' - - quantity and quality sufficienet to appease the most, acute and analytical mind of this Generation, They have, for the ‘most part, become to be Channels, through which their “Contact” with ’ HIM, and in proportion to their degree of the rec- - ognition of HIS IDENTITY, has caused the FLOW of Blessings to be realized by them, and as the extraction of unde- sirable conditions were made, the desir- able filled their places, and success and prosperity so attended their way, they found the old way slipping from under them, and they cared not to longer stand thereon. They became disgusted and ashamed of their former ways, and after listening to the UNIVERSAL MESSAGE of LOVE from GOD, our FATHER, pro- ceeding directly from Heaven, they re- fused to again eat of the husk of the Earth, or to be contaminated with the prejudice, the hate, the -division and the strife, the brutality and the barbarism of a so-called intelligent world, that strives to keep men divided and separ- ated, disrecognizing the reality of the Brotherhood of man and the FATHER- HOOD of GOD, of segregation and sepa- ration, and through the TEACHING, through the LIFE and the LOVE of GOD, FATHER DIVINE, they are joined unto HIM, and consequently, they are UNI- FIED with all mankind. Their lives are wee more Blessed, and as aterial and personal proselyte acknowl- " more advantageous . , .. 0 recognize this PRIN- CIPLE than it is to ignore it. Wonderful! Wonderful WISDOM is im- parted daily to the Believers by the DEAN of the UNIVERSE. It is true, many have sat in the great schools, the colleges of renown and the great Universities of Learning, many have sat in the Great Laboratories of researches, and in the great Auditoriums, in the great Parlia- ‘ mentary Chambers and in the Legislative Halls, and have sipped, as it were, the nectar from the flowers, but upon no ears has there ever fallen such Dew- drops of LOVE and FRAGRANCE of WISDOM, as come forth in the MESS- AGES of BEAUTY and STRENGTH that are given by OUR LORD and OUR KING me 2 daily, to the people of the Earth Plane. Note the great understanding given to the people, who submit themselves to this PRINCIPLE of LIFE, and it will easily and readily be seen that the Practicalityg of this Teaching truly exists . . . In one's testimony, she declared before the thousands, that FATHER DIVINE had made her‘ NEW from without and within. Her taste, her feelings, her hearing, her sight, her views and her understanding were all different-——completely changed since she walked in the NEWNESS of Life. She was a NEW CREATURE, and for this reason she declared FATHER DIVINE was GOD. From this Living Epistle, FATHER took His Text, preced- ing same with the Song below recorded. THANK YOU FATHER . . . FATHER Sang: “If you receive it; if you receive it; If you receive it, then it is true, If you receive it, if you receive it, If you receive, you are then made NEW.” PEACE EVERYBODY: (“Peace SWEET FATHER!" responded’ the Assembly.) RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE, and TRUTH, GOOD HEALTH, GOOD WILL and a.‘ GOOD APPETITE, with GOOD MANNERS, GOOD BEHAVIOR and 8. GOOD GOVERNMENT. All of these Qualities I AM bringing forth into ex- pression, and I AM putting them forth in- to action, whether you believe ME or believe ME not. I did not start out to refrain, neither to start and wane, but I started out to continue until I shall have accomplished all things: for which I came. (Applause) That little Composition I brought forth for consideration, in the original tune of a melody, a song: ’ “If you believe it——if you have received it, ‘ To you, it is true . . . If you believe it, you have been made NEW." RENEWED FROM WITHIN While listening to the testimony, I thought of how a person as well as every- thing else, is RENEWED from the with- in, not so much from the without, but from the within. You are RENEWED by the RENEWING of your mind; your mind will cause your whole mental, yea, even your spiritual world to be converted to GOD. Not only so, but your physical being, by the conversion of your mental- ity, your human or personal, yea, your physical characteristics are converted, and all of your Five Senses, they are also con- verted, as the Speaker said. The things you have been lasting, since your taste has been converted, they taste different. The things you have been hearing, since The “SPOKEN WORD” your sense of hearing has been converted, you hear different. Why‘? Because you have been made NEW. You have become a NEW Creature, by being converted mentally, Spiritually and physically, through your physical characteristics be- ing converted and your physical senses as well as your mental senses. ’ CONVERSION MAKES NEW CREATURES Your physical senses are as convertible as your senses of the Soul, as being called the Spirit. Your physical senses are convertible and they have been converted. Your physical characteristics, they are converted, for 0:01) is in it and in them. That is the great WORK of CHRIST on Earth among men to convert them. Truly might have JESUS said: “Simon, Simon, Satan has desired to have you, to SIFT you as wheat, but when Thou art con- verted, strengthen Thy brother.” The great Conversion must go on firstly Mentally. When this shall have been ac- complished mentally, it will also convert you physically, by converting your Five Physics’ Senses, and converting your'Five Mental Senses and converting your Physical or Personal Characteristics. You will become to be NEW Creatures, by the great conversion I AM advocating. That is what it is all about. That is what is stirring up the Nations, because I AM converting humanity and bringing their bodies into subjection to ME. I AM not telling you to follow ME Personally, neither AM I telling you to LOVE ME Personally, but the Spirit of MY PRES- ENCE on the Earth Plane, is so FAS- CINATING, it will ATTRACT all man- kind, and DRAW them to ME. MORE and IVIORE LOVE This is what is the matter, you cannot help but love ME. It is indeed wonder- ful! I AM not telling you to love ME. It is Indeed wonderful! I AM not telling you to love ME Personally, but I have LIFTED up a STANDARD for humanity, the SPIRIT of MY PRESENCE. transmit- ted, is the Spirit of HIM that liveth for- ever and forever. It is so FASCINAT- ING, the whole World has gone after it, when it got after it, it got after ME, therefore, mankind had just as well to LET it be. It is 8. matter of impossibility for them to HINDER ME. It is indeed wonderful! (“It is true,” commented the Assembly.) I havenot done anything yet, I will THROW OUT, VIBRATE and EX- I—‘RESS and I will DEVELOP and UN- FOLD more and more LOVE, until I shall bring the whole WORLD into sub- jection to the FUNDAMENTAL to Whom you say I AM. (“GOD," came the spon- taneous outburst of the people.) E. Saturday, April 20, 1935 STIRRIN G UP JEALOUSY I have not asked a man, neither a wom- an to produce, develop and bring this LOVE to fruition, neither have I asked( them to close off the faucets of their~ac- tions and deeds among the people, but de-- velop them in the Name of CHRIST, as being called JESUS, and you will AT- TRACT the people. It is written, “HE? shall STIR up jealousy like a man of _ war.” Wheresover I AM, it is the Miss- sion of MINE to STIR up jealousy, be- cause it is the prediction of the Prophet, and the Prophecies must be fulfilled. They cannot help it, even those who I AM endeavoring to help, I STIR up jealousy among them. When you would think they would be MY Personal Friends, they will express themselves as being Mine Ene- mies, all on account of jealousy. Be- cause this LOVE is so fascinating, the whole World has gone after it. When they are running after it, they cannot help but run after ME, yet I AM telling them daily, “it is not necessary to con- tact ME Personally. Make your mental and Spiritual Contact and live Evangel- ically and lo, I will be with you where-’ soever you go.” You need not come near ME where I AM especially, Personally. It is indeed wonderful! Your spirit is just as operatable and it is just as much a Company Keeper as you are, as an in- dividual. Your spirit is pleasant, and your( atmosphere as Spirit and as Mind, is sweet to ME. DRAWING ALL MEN TO HIM The atmosphere you create and the en- vironment of your Invisible Presence in sweet and a great consolation, therefore, you need not come around ME Personally, unless you wish to, as far as I AM Per- sonally, Mentally, spiritually and other- -wise concerned, your Invisible and Imper- sonal Presence will satisfy ME. (I'm go- ing to follow that BODY,” unpremedi- tatedly exclaimed the Devout Followers.) What do you care about the BODY’? (“We love IT," proclaimer the Angels.) “Fret not yourselves becausee of this,” you as well as I, could be the Fulfillers of it, “and I,” said HE, “if I be lifted up from the Earth, I WILL DRAW all men - unto ME.” You ca.n see them coming from far and near, while it is Your priv- ilege to produce the Qualities and all of the Characteristics of the CHRIST, and bring them to fruition in your life, that you might be a CENTER of ATTRAC- TION as well as I, Just develop that mighty LOVE within, and produce the MAGNET of the INFINITE ONE, and the Spirit of this MAGNETIC CURRENT of INFINITE LOVE will ATTRAC'I‘ and DRAW all mankind to you and you will / ‘I .":-W‘:-:52: ---E * I ‘22'!§'§’zT's=.*£ 4 ‘«~'«.'-I . - .- _v .- ~ '_ . _~ , -:.

I,AM— not telling the people toicome to‘ ‘ ME, especially, not Personally; I .AM not telling them to come to ME Personally, I AM telling them to be governed by their highest intuition, and be moved according to their own individual volunteer volition, and CHRIST within you will be brought to FRUITION, and none’ will hinder HIM. That is the Myste'ry, hence, it is not ne- cessary for you to feel as if though I AM especially attracting the people to ME, I AM not trying to call them to ME Personally. It is the fulfillment of the Scriptures. It has long since been pre- dicted, “And I, if I be LIFTED up from the Earth, I will DRAW all men unto ME.” Wheresoever this ME, of Whom you say I AM is, it will DRAW all .men to HIM, and they cannot help themselves, neither can they prevent themselves from coming._ They cannot help themselves to come, and they cannot keep themselves away from ME. That is what it is all about. LOVE ONE ANOTHER This was taught through the Prophetic Age, all of the way down the line, GOD taught man to love one another. If not exactly the quotation of the Gospel, it was taught by the ALMIGHTY through the Prophets, through Moses and the Seers, to love one another. If they would have lived according to the request of GOD, they would have been the same, to DRAW all mankind to them, and not only mankind as an abstract expression, but they would- have had the power within themselves to I draw all WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, through inspiration, through revelation and through the SPIRIT of GOD'S PRES- ENCE within them. It was their privilege for Four Thou- sand and Four Years B. J. better known as B. C., mankind had the privilege of developing the Qualities of GOD, the Na- ture, the Characteristics and the Love within to be a center of attraction, to draw all POWER and all things to them, but they failed, and by refusing to" obey HIM, in the Year A. D. 33, the FRUITION‘ of the SONSHIP DEGREE was revealed. It was revealed in the Name of JESUS, as a Person, to stress the significance of LOVING‘ GOD, and your fellowman, in’ re- ality. By this Revelation and unfoldment of the Prophecy, yea, by this Parable put forth into expression physically, it re. vealed the Mystery of GOD’S PRESENCE among His people, how HE would bring about the Universal BROTHERHOOD of man and the conscious realization of the FATHERHOOD of GOD, by mankind 1iV- ' The “SPOKEN —WORD" ing in the recognition and realization of GOD’S PRESENCE. ‘ GOD IS ‘WITH US JESUS was HE, of Whom the Prophets spake. HE was the ONE of whom it was said, “His Name shall be called IMMAN- UEL,” being interpreted “GOD IS WITH US.” This Prediction was brought to fruition, and JESUS was the Fulfiller in A. D. 33, as the Firstbom among many Brethren, that they might recognize GOD'S PRESENCE with them as the RE- DEEMER of mankind, This is the Year of A. D. 33, as the Firstborn among many Brethren, it was revealed, unfolded, man- ifested to the children of men, that GOD Himself, was on Earth among them. JE- SUS reproduced by the Spirit of His Na- ture, the LAW of the SPIRIT of LIFE abstracted from-—in other wo'rds, the ex- traction from the Law that came through Moses, the SPIRIT of the LAW was ful- filled in JESUS, and HE was the SUPER- TEACHER, who brought the MESSAGE of SALVATION, by being the FULFILL- ER of the Scripture. Because of this, JESUS went forth and was tossed and driven as a Person apparently, neverthe- less, HE stressed the significance of liv- ing Evangelically . . . He stressed the sig- nificance of loving ye one another, in the fulfillment of the LAW, and the Prophets. This, HE brought to.the Light of Under- standing of men, by being the FULFILL- ER of it, Himself in their midst. GOD'S PRESENCE REALIZED THE VICTORY When this was accomplished in JESUS, as a Person, they said, “By our Law HE should DIE.” It was a Law in opposition to the FUNDAMENTAL of LIFE, to be brought to FRUITION in mankind, then when the FUNDAMENTAL of LIFE is brought to FRUITION in an individual, by. the Law of the mortal versions of men, they say, “He should DIE." Why Because He makes himself EQUAL with GOD: Because He has EXALTED Him- self. HE Blasphemest, say they, “I de- sire to keep the recognition and the real- ization of GOD’S PRESENCE away from the people generally, for if they realize GOD is PRESENT, they will go on with VICTORY over adversities, and our ex- pressions, ou'r ways, our Laws and rules and regulations, are the adversities, that are contrary to the Teaching of GOD the FATHER, by HIS SPIRIT in His BODY, but after they rise with the understanding by making their Declaration known, “GOD is PRESENT with them," they will not have an occasion to fear the children of men, hence, they will rise in arms, with- out fear-—not in violence, but in meek- ness and in obedience, as JESUS did-— . . Page?3 and they will overcome»ou'r present FORM of GOVERNMENT. ~ I call into action, the hidden‘ Mysteries of GOD’S PRESENCE, as a REALITY, that GOD might be with His people, and teach them according to the prediction of JESUS. “When HE the Spirit of TRUTH has come, you need no man to teach you, but He shall lead you and guide you into all TRUTHS, and HE shall teach you all things whatsoever I have said unto you." These were the Words of JESUS; today, they are being fulfilled in your presence, and you have declared that I AM the Fulfiller, then I say, “RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE and TRUTH, I have called for you. These Qualities and these Virtues that I have called forth into expression, I will Universally PERSONIFY them, and I will ESTABLISH them in every Ordi- nance, and cause GOD to be recognized as LORD of Lords and as KING of Kings. (“Truly wonderful!” shouted the Hearers.) SPIRITUAL BATTLEFIELD I have not said anything yet to What I will say, and yet with all that I will say outwardly, it will not be a percent of a fraction of a grain of a fraction of a grain of that of which I will do from the WITHIN the hearts and lives of the chil- dren of men. I have called these Quali- ties into action. I have called them out on the Mental and the Spiritual BATTLE- FIELD of Life, not a war with arms of violence to destroy mankind, but to de- stroy that mortal and those detestable characteristics in your mind. This is the MISSION of CHRIST. This is the great REDEEMING PROCESS that is actually going on in the hearts and the lives of the children of men. Then I say as was said in reference to the last Speaker, and as she said herself, her mind was changed ——your taste is changed, your physical hearing is changed, for they have been CONVERTED. Your Five Physical Senses have been CONVERTED. Your Five Mental Senses have been CONVERTED. Your Five Spiritual Senses have been CONVERTED. They all have been CONVERTED, even though you did not know you had them. It is indeed wonderful! You did hot know you had Five Physical, Mental and Spir- itual Senses, It is indeed wonderful! (‘So wonderful!” emphasized the Believ- ers.) All of these are converted to GOD, as GOD is RESURRECTED- in you, and in yourall, CHRIST is ALL and IN ALL. HE converts all things to GOD. CONVERTING THE SENSES This is the Mystery. Your physical feelings are different. I mean your feel- ings, though they be the Sense of Feel- ings, mentally, and the sense of Feelings {age 4 Physically combined, as “TWO in ONE,” they are CONVERTED. Your Sense of physical Feelings being CONVERTED. your Sense of Mental Feelings is also CONVERTED; Your physical Feeling is also CONVERTED. You can take a hold of something, and it feels different. It is all in the mind. It is indeed wonder- ful! It causes your physical body t0 1'9’ fleet and manifest your physical sense of Feelings and your Mental sense of Feel- ings equivalently the same. Oh, it is such a privilege, therefore, as I say, all of your Five Physical senses are being CON- VERTED as well as your Mental and Spiritual Senses, that you might not be — physically deserted no more than you you’d be Mentally and Spiritually de- serted by the ALMIGHTY. THE WORD MADE FLESH WHEN JESUS the Great LOVE MAS- TER said, “Lo, I AM with you,” if it were not applicable to your physical body, GOD would desert you as a person, and your Spirit would only be REDEEMED, or your mind, but as JESUS came in BODILY FORM, “the WORD was made Flesh and dwelt among men. We beheld _His GLORY as the GLORY of the only BEGOTTEN of the FATHER, FULL of GRACE and of TRUTH.” There was more truth in JESUS than in all mankind. There was more GRACE in the Teaching .and in the LIFE of JESUS than in all humanity manifested, but as you beheld His GLORY, of all of His FULLNESS have all we received-GRACE for GRACE, that you might be Partakers of the iden- tical Characteristics and Nature of JE- SUS the CHRIST. By so doing to by so being,” your physical bodies are CON- VERTED as wellas JESUS was a PER- SON Physically manifested. (Applause), HE.was no longer confined to the Mys- tical, Spiritual Realm alone, but as a Physical, Peiisonaly, Tangible, Visible BBODY, CHRIST came to CON VINCE mankind tthat as HE was, so are they. It is written: “As HE is, so are We in this present .Wor1d.” Now isn’t»this _a wonderful place to be -—to be REALIZING GOD, is, as you are? (“Truly pwonderfull” agreed the Host.) If you are Mystical and merely Spiritual, so is GOD. as far as you are» concerned, but if! you are Physical, Personal, and Tangible, so is GOD for you, as far as you are concerned. GOD» came to meet you as you are, that you might be as HE is, “for as HE is, so are we,” said HE, “in this present World.” This is the Mystery of GOD among‘ us. '1*n:m_ TRUE ' FIRTH _' I will make REAL every . mental and Spiritual conception, for Mary CON- The “SPOKEN WORD” CEIVED the Spiritual Idea of GOD, through the Holy Ghost, she brought forth the First-born-—the Child in the Name of the Son of GOD, from the idea she conceived concerning GOD through His Word. It was a mental and a Spir- itual Conception, by the, overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, as the FIRST-BORN among many brethren, expressing the Mystery of how CHRIST would come in you. As I said, as a Person CHRIST came inthe BODY called JESUS, as the Personified Expression, as a SAMPLE and as an EXAMPLE of. the Mystery of the Universal Birth of CHRIST in hu- manity. He came showing mankind how they should _have been born, how they should have been “Begotten and born throughout the Universe, and not “be- gotten” and born by the flesh. “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit.” You are being “BEGOTTEN” by the Spirit and born of GOD. A That is the Mystery. You are being “BEGOTTEN” this Morning or this Af- ternoon, whichever, by the SPIRIT. Right now, you are being born of GOD. (Oh, Bless YOU!” shouted the Beloved Ones.) Jot these thoughts down in your vo- cabularies, Live in the Consciousness of GOD’S PRESENCE, lo, I will be with you now, henceforth and forever, and naught can hurt nor harm you. If you are TRUE and HONEST, I will be with you, if you will be competent. It is in- deed wonderful! BEGOTTEN and BORN of GOD: I cannot stress it too vividly, that it might REST with you, of how the over- shadowing of the SPIRIT over Mary had fallen that she might conceive the IDEA of that which was spoken concerning the ALMIGHTY. When she conceived the IDEA by being overshadowed by the SPIRIT, and IT QUICKENED within her, she also conceived it physically as well as mentally. The Physical expres- sion——your physical bodies are but the mental and Spiritual CONCEPTION, and your physical expression, as you express physically the Mental and Spiritual things of GOD, theypare but the outward expres- sion of the Mental and Spiritual CONCEP- tion. You have conceived the IDEA, the SPIRIT, and GOD reveals from the with- in. Th'rough your physical bodies, GOD will speak and show men-Spiritual things, and through the Spiritual Realm, in your physical bodies, GOD will show Spiritual things on the Material Plane». It works 1301311 Ways. It works visa versa: “To him who is natural, all things are na- tural: to him who is Spiritual, all things are Spiritllal-” .GOD made Spiritual the Flesh, and made natural or physical the Spirit, therefore, HE “physicalated” the SPIRIT and “Spiritualated” or Spiritual- Saturday, April 20, 1935- ized the Flesh. Now isn't this a wonder- ful place to be? (“Truly wonderful!” came the comment of the people.) BE INFLUENCED BY SPIRIT OF GOD JESUS the Great LOVE MASTER was the SAMPLE and the EXAMPLE, show- ing mankind how they all should have been born before HE came. HE was the First-born among many brethren. As a. SAMPLE and as an EXAMPLE, HE came. HE came to show mankind how they should have been born, and how they should have lived and how they should have gone on. Eve caught the glimpse, and a slight sketch and a reflection of the Mystery of the Coming of CHRIST isin BODY. She said, “I have a man child of the LORD.” It is indeed won- derful! Sh_e knew it was not of the LORD, but she knew Adam knew it was not his, therefore, she thought she would deceive, by saying, it was of GOD, as the evil Spirit influenced Eve, through communication and beguiled her, so should it have been the SPIRIT of GOD, as it was with Mary before JESUS was born. Eve should have been influenced by the Spirit of GOD—-the Holy Ghost as Mary was, but to the contrary, she was influ- enced and beguiled by Satan, as being termed “the devil,” which was the wicked Spirit instead of the Holy Ghost. When she was beguiled by the wicked Spirit instead of the Holy Ghost, she conceived the idea that the wicked spirit suggested to her, hence, she said: “I have a man child of the LORD.” SIGNIFICANCE OF BEING BORN AGAIN JESUS came as a Person Physically born, to show mankind how they should have been bo'rn. Every man, the first oneand the last one before JESUS came, was born wrong. Adam was the first man made, but Cain was the first one born, hence, the first one and the last one before Jesus came, was born wrong. I have come to show you the Mystery and the significance of being BORN AGAIN, for you were born wrong. You were born of sin, of vice, of lust and of crime, but you should have been BORN of GOD, showing you how to be BORN AGAIN, as‘ JESUS s-aid on one occasion, “Except a man be born again,” he cannot enter into the KINGDOM.” Do you not see the great significance of living in the atmosphere and the consciousness of GOD'S PRESENCE, that GOD Himself might teach you WISDOM which has beeen hid from Ages? (“It is wonder- ful!" again shouted the Hearers.) You did not know that Eve was actu- ally beguiled and conceived the Evil spir- it, in reality! You thought Eve conceived the idea or the conception from and /' t. ‘ : ‘K-5; ‘Saturday_. April 20, 1935 throughby Adam, but to the extreme op- posite, she conceived the idea from that one which was called “the Serpent,” by the Religious Interpretation of the day, “the devil.” I AM calling forth the TRUTH into expression, putting forth the Nature and the Characteristics of CHRIST JE- SUS, _tha.t you might be partakers of IT, and that you might “put off the old man, with all (hf his deeds,” for your human, physical characteristics, are now CON- VERTED. They are CONVERTED, and you are NEW CREATURES. You are thinking different from the'way you have been thinking, for GOD has truly corr- VERTED your mentality, your character- istics, your nature, and your Five Phys- ical Senses, yea GOD has CONVERTED your mental Senses and your Spiritual Senses with them. That is why the whole Being has become to be a NEW CREA- TURE . . . a NEW CREATURE in real- ity, for you have “put off the old man with all of his deeds,” you are walking in the NEWNESS of LIFE, and “Lo, I AM with Thee, henceforth, now and for- ever, if you will LET it be. I thank you. PEACE EVERYBODY! (“Peace FATHER!” greeted the As- sembly.) . . . I hope you all have well dined-—those of you who have, we are asking you to “PASS OUT and PASS ON and PASS AWAY” quickly and quietly, and allow others to come forward and take your seats, for there are others who desire to eat. I thank you. Strachey on Communism In the opinion of John Strachey, Eng- lish liberal lecturer and writer, who re- cently left of his own volition for Eng- land, thus forestalling deportation pro- ceedings against him, “an acceptance of Marxist principles is the only salvation for the civilized world.” Strachey says: “Lines of the class struggle are drawn so sharply today that a choice is forced upon everyone. One must either choose to be a. capitalist or a Communist. Not to make a choice is to commit spiritual suicide,” Strachey continues: “Full grown Fas- cism always arises under the guise of a radical movement. Then this pseudo- radical movement becomes financed, or bought ‘outright, by the financial inter- -est, as was done in Germany.” Strachey’s recent lecture tour of Amer- ica was watched with much interest by students of economics and liberalism. While identifying himself definitely as a Communist, his works present a brilliant analysis of the economic situation. “GOD is the Author and Finisher of every desirable imagination.” ‘ii } Hit} ,_ ‘_'>- -'-,', _,; Q‘ 3,: ~,i'r[~. , If . . _: w _ '*- ..x:2i........‘~ ‘ i is it 2- ::,x. » ..

Italy, by one who practiced the Truth daily, and it is worthy of care- ful consideration: “I have learned to make Truth 3. thing. of life, not of words, and I am going to tell you what the wonderful secret it, for it is Wonderful. “It is not to see, or hear, or repeat any kind of imperfection, it is seeing, hear- ing and repeating good only, at all times, under all circumstances, in spite of every- thing that appears to the contrary. “I see perfection, perfect GOD, per- fect man ,and I refuse to admit the slightest imperfection in myself, in my friends, or in MY affairs, or in the world affairs. I take myradical stand for the perfection of G-OD, of everything and everybody He has made. I look upon the world with God's eyes and see it as He sees it. I refuse to see it any other way. 1 will not give way to fear not‘ criticism. I watch my thoughts regarding others, even stray animals. “I have taken my radical stand for the perfection of all things and I will not, Iabsolutely will not release that perfect standard. , “The result of this resolution has been marvelous. Try it and you will forget sickness, blindness, poverty, persecution, death. You will not need to borrow money, or to wear glasses. These will be unnecessary." » And may We add to the above, the spirit of “Merriness’-' which brings, that DIVINE Rhythm and completeness and joy.

And when they heard it, bedlam broke loose. Father Divine had been charged with harboring minors in the colony which he calls “Heaven.” When he was acquitted today, the entire mass of worshippers broke into paens of praise. At first it was mild, then all 3,000 of them started to dance, sing and shout. Policemen tried to- cope with the situation, but it was useless. Traffic was brought to .a stand- still. ’ ‘The milling mass of . . . . . finally broke up and went home, but only after Father Divine left the courthouse and entered the luxurious car which was wait- ing for. him. I Father Divine rules several so-called “kingdoms” in Harlem, where he feeds- and lodges his followers and anyone who applies. iFu'rthermore, he pays his bi11s—- usually from a roll bulging with $500 notes. When asked where he gets the thousands of dollars he pays out each week, the small . . . . . . evangelist smiles and says: - “I’m God and the money comes from Heaven.”- Note: Radio broadcasts are not always exact even though they are “censored.” The declaration of “WHO" FATHER DI- VINE is, has been made by those of HIS followers who have been enlightened, not by.

The “SPOKEN wom)" ‘ Saturday. April 20. 1935 1-9-3-5 is EASTER——-(The Passover) -——commemorating the Resurrection of Jesus, the CHRIST. The ever recurring hope that Life IS immortal. The reminder that GOD’S created is as eternal as GOD—This is the_hope of Christendom. This is indeed the “consummation devoutly to be Wished”-— Was it only for the SON—The SON OF GOD? Centuries have passed, as man figures time, but the example bf Jesus the CHRIST has never been completely followed. Saintly men and women —’Fearless leaders for right—-—Tireless workers for others——They have all gone the Way of man-——“a few days and ‘full of trouble.” The commemoration of EASTER has not brought the spirit of RESUR- RECTION to the Followers of CHRIST. It has only served one purpose, and that has been to keep alive this hope of eternal life for all the Children of GOD. EASTER—Resurrection—The CHRIST has not only RISEN to be seen and then disappear. The CHRIST IS HERE today--walking the earth in a body, seen and felt and recognized. He has come in the FATHERSHIP DEGREE, as was promised—to be with us always. EASTER-—~Resurrection—T‘he true significance is now realized. Resur- rection from the race of Adam (“where all die”) to the Jesus CHRIST consciousness (“where all shall be made alive.”) EASTER-——Resurrection—Awakening of the CHRIST in every “man.” Living the evangelical life, hid with CHRIST in GOD. EASTER—Resurrection—Revelation—-—GOD alone shall reign. “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of GOD is with men and HE will dwell with them, and they shall be HIS people and GOD HIMSELF will be with them, and be their GOD. And GOD shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former things are passed away. And HE that sat upon the throne said, Behold. I make all things new.” (Revelations). Thank you GOD—— FATHER DIVINE for this EASTER—This true Resurrection. Saturday, April 20, 1935 The “SPOKEN WORD” coo IN THE SUSINESS WORLD By E. E. GRUBB Business men of today, with their eyes 1 toward theskies, are wondering what. is to be the end of all this seeming lack to meet the need of the hour. In times past the ability of the business man to suc- cessfully cope with the problems of the day was measured by the quality of the educationhe gained. That day has passed into oblivion, as we are living in a new day, a new deal and a new experience, which demands that our business suc- cess depends upon and most be measured by. our understanding of GOD, the FATHER. ‘No business man needs to be in a di- lemma in this new day. The new day provides ways and means toward the solution of his daily problems to such an extent that he, himself steps ‘aside, allow- ing GOD the right of way, just as the great ocean liner, passinginto fresh wa- ter, loses the barnacles with no effort .on the. part of itself, nor does it have to be acted upon by anything but “fresh water.” What a wonderful new day right at hand for,” the business man to place himself in the freshness of GOD'S love, joy, peace and opportunity with nothing to do but let the Father act in his affairs. “What to do Heavenly FATHER, is up to you,” is the secret of the entire situation. The writer being in the real estate business, "is slowly but surely learning from Father that the “real” estate is not bounded by so many feet fronting on a boulevard, nor a parcel of farm land, described by meters and bounds. One man, with what is termed the higher education, declared that real estate was the source of all wealth. That statement is true only from the standpoint of ma- teriality, but it no longer serves as the basis of action in this, the new day. The FATHER is the source of all wealth and the source of the “estate of reality” which provides his children with homes, clothing and food, and condescending as he is to come in th-e bodily form to exem- plify to the children their “true estate," there can be no questioning concerning his purpose, no'r dodging or departing from theissue, for my FATHER is “rich in houses and lands” and he holdeth the “wealth of the world in His hands.” Keeping in mind the Principle as per- sonified in FATHER DIVINE, there is created in the thought of one child that the need for a home is imminent, and that same understanding contacts the thought af another who is in the Mind and Spirit of Father, living the life and keeping the faith. Then, and only at that time and under these conditions can the perfect‘ transaction be made; eliminating all dependency on educational fitness. or forcing the issue that there is a psycho- logical moment when any transaction can be mad-e. It is with sinecere gratitude that the writer can testify to a new revelation in the bringing together the buyer and seller in any transaction with the understanding as revealed by the FATHER. FATHER'S way negates ev- erything that tends toward graft, mis- representation and ‘fraud,’ and places his business man in the realm of seeking first things first, thereby adding bless- ings; subtracting those things that doth so easily beset him; multiplying his op- portunities for good; and dividing ‘or separating him from the “old day,” caus- ing him to live in the new day, the new deal and new experiences, full of oppor- tunity. Thank you, FATHER. ‘ E a r I y Passage of Anti- Lynch Bill Predicted That the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynch bill will be passed in the present session of congress is the consensus of opinion of most observers. The efforts previously made to put through such legislation were blocked by representatives from S the South but it is believed that general sentiment at this time will over-ride such opposition and result in the passage of the bill. The favorable consideration of the-Cos- tigan-Wagner bill and the recent decision of the Supreme Court in reversing the Scottsboro decision are seen as very defi- nitee moves forward in the direction of justice for all regardless of race distinc- tion. The decision of the Supreme Court indicates that there still exists a hope of justice under the laws of our nation and that in the final analysis the higher law governing bodies can be depended upon to render a just decision. The inal- ienable right of a fair hearing for those accused of wrongdoing has in the case of the two Scottsboro boys once more been upheld. The Supreme Court sharply rebuked the Dixie policy of excluding “race” representatives from juries. Firm and determined federal pressure brought to bear upon such violators of inherent rights is certain to have a far reaching effect and definite restraint upon future infractions. Swift punishment and cost to the community involved in lynch- ing escapades, etc., cannot but strike a a solar plexus blow to this evil. There is indeed renewed hope and a brighter vision for the oppressed and underprivileged clearly distinguishable on the horizon. ~ LET YOUR LAWMAKERS KNOW YOUR DESIRES. v v lie" Page '7 Testimony PEACE FATHER! To The Spoken Word: / Will you please print this testimony? I want to thank my FATHER for the limitless ‘blessings he has given me-——to thank Him for taking me from the grave, cleansing and healing my body, mind and soul. Thank you FATHER! You drove out of my life the fiend I was subject to for years——drinking sixteen to eighteen cups of the strongest coffee each day. Many people tried to stop me from this evil without success, but when Father came into my heart, He wiped out this obsession with many other habits and sins. No one but GOD could do it. I was everything but good. I thank you, my Sweet Father! ' I thank you, Father, for the operation on my toe. Father, you are so sweet and good. Father showed me how he would heal the foot. I saw Father plain- ly on the top of the nail. He operated without pain nor was "I stopped from work, I love and thank you with all my heart. raise your Holy Name! Then shortly before my toe was normal again, a heavy box fell upon it and cut it open. Everybody came to my aid and wanted to bring a doctor but I ‘refused. any help and just kept on thanking my Father. The next day it was healed and I went to work with no pain at all. Fellow- workers wondered how this could be and asked what I was, to which I answered, “I .am a true believer of Father Divine, who is God, the true and living God, the same principle as Jesus Christ who was here ninteen hundred years ago. He is my healer, doctor, teacher and advisor-— so I need no help from anyone.” A few could grasp my meaning and said “It is good to have such Faith,” or “It is a won- derful life indeed.” I wish everyone would come to our Sweet Father Divine.

RIGHTS Newspaper reports carried recently the story of the attempt on the part of citi- zens of Colorado Springs, Colorado, to break up, in a manner most contradictory to the ideals of most civilized Americans, a religious meeting held in‘ that city by the followers of FATHER DIVINE. The account of the action of. the inflamed group, blinded by the monstrous seed of prejudice, furnishes but another dis- graceful episode in the dark chapter being written by those more a counterpart of the Dark Ages than of “modern America.” ' I The newspaper accounts contain too negative and . dark a story to be re_-; hearsed in detail here. Suffice it is. to say that any vestige of justice or “the milk of human kindness” was utterly missing in the blind fury _ of the mob. With characteristic “Southern” energy the crowd vented its vindictiveness and only police intervention, prevented vio- lence of the worst sort. The residents of the neighborhood, according to re- ports, increased by the addition of a number of others imbued with the “mob spirit” swore destruction to the inno- cent offenders and declared vehemently their domain would not be invaded by those of religious tendencies "which in- cluded ALL in their conception of the BROTHERHOOD OF MAN. The crowd was preparing to make good its threat when other influences intervened. The FATHER DIVINE Peace Mission at 1402 So. Tejon street, in Colorado‘ Springs, comprising those of every group and denomination, had been operatingifor several months when the ire of the resi- dents was aroused. The spectacle of members of every branch of the human family‘ gathered together in apparent friendliness was foreign to their nature hence, from their distorted version, was cause for action. The fact that such action was inhuman and un—Christlike to the. highest degree seemed not to bother them. Their blind bias and prejudice knew no jusitce. It was somewhat significant when the deputy in charge ' of the police entered the meeting hall, where everything‘ was apparently peaceful and in entire order, and was reminded by a deputy member of the state commission-er’s office that under. “constitutional law the participants were entitled to religious worship with- out molestation.” This point could not at the moment be disputed and was evi- dently held in abeyance. It was later discovered that there was no legal pro- “offenders” could be justified and the matter (rested temporarily. \ Much space might be devoted to a dis- cussion of the inhumanity of man to man and the mockery of justice. and consti- tutional procedure prevalent in many sections of thecountry but this is a con- dition obvious topall. ‘The mere action of the misled citizens of Colorado Springs is. sufficient indictment in "itself. The occurrence in the ultra-modern community of Colorado Springs, infring- ing as it does on the inherent right of religious freedom, should only be an- other reminder -of the appalling need for just action and definite intercedence on the part of right thinking officials in the seat of government. To overlook longer such flagrant and outrageous violations of American tradition and constitutional law is inconceivable to the minds ofthose in whom any spark of true Americanism or justice remains. A With the early passage of the Costigan- Wagner anti-lynching bill looming as an imminentpossibility the attention of the lawmakers might well be directed to such incidents as the one in Colorado Springs where the Mission of FATHER DIVINE, seeking only to do good and help those in need, -providing hope and aid for the downtrodden and oppressed, was subject- ed to one of the most illegal and unjus- tifiable outrages in recent history. The barbarism of such, savage and un-Amer- ican interludes seems almost unbelieva- ble in this enlightened age. It might be pertinent for those law- makers considering anti-lynch tion to include uninterrupted religious freedom, such as that which was envis- ioned -by the Pilgrims when they came to America, andthat which is so integral a part and framework of the constitu- tion of the United States in their cur- rent deliberations. 'The Constitutional mandate assuring to all the right of religious freedom and the privilege of worshipping GOD accord- ing to the “highest dictates of conscience" is rendered but a scrap of paper by such incidents as that which took place in Colorado Springs.

Governor Lehman and the New York legislators are to be ‘congratulated upon such a sane and long needed course of action. ‘ The New York bill is seen as putting and end to the “Heart Balm” racket and the “gold-digging” practices which have so long been a thorn in the sides of har- assed citizens. The measure is further- more seen as another evidence of the presence of “the Spirit of Justice” at work. It is recalled that some weeks ago FAT!-IER DIVINE in one of His lec- tures in New York City referred to the evils of the “Heart Balm” practice and pointed out that laws prohibiting such re- course" would soon be passed by the law- makers. In the legislatoin at Albany is observed the fulfillment of this prediction. Right on the heels of the New York bill cther states sought to follow suit, Indiana having already passed such a law, and other progressive states giving consideration to the matter, In Califo'r- nia in response to the popular demand a similar bill was being prepared for pre- sensation to -the Legislature. The bill proposed in California reads: “No court in the State of California shall have jurisdiction over the following causes of action: “Alienation of affection or breach of promise, and said causes of action are hereby abolished.” The bill is believed to have an_ excellent chance of becoming law.

Saturday,» April" 20, 1935 Underlying Cause of Plarlem Disorders Poignant Story of Discrimination; Segregation The true cause underlying the recent’ disturbance in Harlem is strikingly re- vealed in an editorial appearing in a New York newspaper. In this editorial it is suggested that_ those investigating the reason for the outbreak turn their attention to the following facts. We quote as follows: “Let the committee find out why 55 to 60 per cent of Harlem it unemployed!” Let them find out why $30 apartments rent for $60 to Harlem families! Let them find out why there is so much congestion in Harlem! Let them find out why so many Har- lem houses havenft decent health con- veniences! Let them find out who owns the major blocks of Harlem real estate and profits out of the miserable living conditions of the —————-people. Let them find out why relief is about one-third lower in Harlem than else- where! Let the committee investigate police brutality in Harlem and the attacks on the unemployed that have taken place‘ be- fore various Home Relief bureaus! Let them find out why the tuberculosis rate is higher in Harlem than in any other sectionof New York City!” The following expose’ of conditions as divulged by a part of “the New York press, tells eloquently the story of the Harlem uprising. Behind the outer con- dition lies the dark story of discrimina- tion and segregation with its resultant economic chaos. ‘ Of course a deeper reason for such oc- currences is to be found in the absence of the recognition of GOD in the hearts and minds of the people which has ex- pressed itself in such poverty and des- perate woes as that which obtains in Harlem.

M. NINETEEN HUNDRED YEARS AGO, when JESUS astounded the people, with His depth of WISDOM, with His fluent and eloquent Language, with His Infinite Understanding, and with MAJESTICAL POWER, there were among them many Scribes and Pharisees, those who were considered the wise and the learned of their day, they were ‘typical of the Phari- sees and the Scribes of this day, though they have assumed another guise, and are commonly known by some other name. However, they were no less hypocritical and ceremonious in their formality than they are today. They were the Nicode' , mus Type. They recognized the SUPRE- MACY of JESUS, they discerned THAT MASTER MIND, they knew there was none other in all Judea, Jerusalem, Salem, Samaria nor in any part of the world, like unto JESUS, but they withheld this ac- knowledgement, for they desired to be exalted by man. They would not openly recognize JESUS and confess HIM, but they desired to appear in the great multi- tudes, where they would not so easily and readily be known, and imbibe the OMNISCIENCE of GOD. They sought Blessings, they wished for them, but they cared not to be identified with ONE so Lowly, ‘apparently, as JESUS, the “LOW- LY NAZARENE.” They were in their estiamtion, “the great men of their day, a superior group-—a select body,” hence, they. dared not to condescend to the meek, nor thecommon people. Here in our midst, on this particular Evening ,in the Atmosphere of the Glory of GOD where the Heaven Bells rang and the Angelic Chorus sang sweet strains of music,_ where the noblest of all the Earth were assembled, and ,where the Elect and Chosen of GOD had gathered, and in -the very PRESENCE of GOD, Himself, we beheld Nicodemus. A Doctor, , a learned Scholar, an attache of the Belle- vue Hospital, he and his friends were rather happy, and they shared the Bless- ings of Heaven with us, as long as they were not recognized, but when authentic information reached the ea.rs of another scholarly gentleman, a Counselor-at-Law. thatthis particular gentleman was in the % house, and he, the latter gentleman ac- knowledged this fact, and made mention of same incidentally, while ascribing Praise to FATHER DIVINE, the Doctor, or Nicodemus, we prefer to say, lost no time in making his departure. ‘.‘O ye hyp- ocrites, ye can discern the face of‘ the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? Can ye not see the feeding of the multitudes daily, and how the sick are healed? Do ye not see GOD has be- come to be the LIVING FACTOR in the lives of the masses? Can ye not behold the success and the prosperity that HE has brought to those who have called upon HIM and who have recognized HIM, as a LIVING REALITY. Do ye not com- prehend the HONESTY among the mil- lions who have been converted into this Recognition. In New York City alone, thousands of dollars have been added to the Coffers of the Financiers, and thou- sands of dollars have been saved by the City and State, and also the Federal Re- lief Bureaus, by reason of the PRESENCE of GOD in the LAND. Are these not evidences enough to bear witness with the Scripture and the Prophecies’. that GOD would come, and HE would walk the Earth like,a mighty MAN, and that HE would dwell among the people, and would be their GOD, and they would be His people; The City of New York should rejoice and acclaim loud Praises unto FATHER DIVINE’S MATCHLESS NAME, for HE is a Blessing to it, from any and every angle. Politically, HE has blessed the City, and the present Mayor owes his Honorable Position to FATHER DIVINE, and this is a known fact, for the daily newspapers published this fact, and veri- fied the same, upon Mr. La Guardia’s election. , Again the City of New York, should bow in obeisance to FATHER DIVINE, for His Condescension to come to this City-—the City known to be “the most wicked City in the World,” to rid it of crime, vice and "corruption. Just think for a moment of the hundreds and thou- sands of drunkards, gamblers, murderers, robbers, thieves and underworld men and women, who have left the world of sin and shame behind them, and instead of engaging in brawls, fights, and participat- ing in red light districts, and leading young men and Women in the avenues of infamy and profanity, and teaching them to live ill-famed lives, and who are now engaged daily in Praising GOD and liv- ing clean, upright, respectable lives, a credit to GOD and to man. Think of the men and women and families who would have met destruction and would have gone ‘ to an untimely grave, through foul play, had FATHER DIVINE not cometo this CITY, and changed the conditions herein. There have been nay number of little chil- dren, who have been checked in their wild career and who have been permitted to breathe. the Air of Freedom, throughby the Coming of Our LORD. The City of New York, through its Board of Education, should gladly give to‘ FATHER DIVINE, a VOTE of thanks, for "HIS cooperation with them. Many schools have been kept in operation and many teachers given employment, by rea- son of the fact that FATHER DIVINE has condescended to support the School Board, by causing more than Two Thou- sand persons to register and attend the various Evening Schools in the City. This is a marvelous outward expression of the significance] of FATHER DIVINE’S PRESENCE, and what is true of this City, is true in every other City, where FA- THER DIVINE is represented, for His “SPOKEN Wo'rd,” and His SPIRIT can do, what Law -and Education cannot do.

GOD’S PRESENCE SUFICIENT Now this is a LIFE that will meet every- issue of life, matters not what your pro- fession may be, matters not what you are seeking, the Spirit of MY PRESENCE is sufficient and the Spirit of MY PRES- ENCE is efficient to reach your condition "and satisfy your every desire, “for Christ is Rich and all you need,” although HE has been lying dormant in the hearts and lives of men, I can declare to the chil- dren of men, HE has truly risen. -It is in- deed wonderful! As I was saying, this afternoon, to an Interviewer, “if I did not know a letter of the English Alphabet, it would be absolutely immaterial to ME, whatsoever you know, I will DIAL in on it. It will come to ME_ automatically, and will be at MY Disposal.” It is indeed wonderful! (“Truly wonderful!” pro- nounced the people.) Suppose I would call your attention toa point for consideration in Practical Psy- chology, that you might learn the mys- tery. As a Speaker, I will speak _in your own language, Mental Telepathy is a Par- able, I may call your attention. to. If your thoughts are transmittable and con- veyable, if they can be conveyed from one to another, how about to ME? (“It is wonderful,” whether you know it or not, I_have the KEY.) REVEALIN G HIDDEN THINGS Jot these thoughts down in your vo- cabularies and the transmission of these thoughts, as they return to ME, they will bring ME your vocabulary. When JESUS as a. child, was talking with the Lawyers and the Doctors, HE could talk with them, and give them KNOWLEDGE and UN- DERSTANDING, and speak- things that were hidden from— them, the things that they had studied, that which they had for- gotten, JESUS could tell them all about it. /HE -could go in their Vocabularies and could bring out the words that had been hidden; hidden in the sub-conscious mind of them, which they could not con- sciously ‘remember. That is why they could not understand HIM. (Great ap- plause). That is what I call “The MAS- TER OF OMNIPOTENCY and the CON- TROLLER of mankind's destiny,” be- cause HE moves in the hearts and lives and minds of men. They’ cannot under- stand, neither can they prohibit HIM. CONV_ER’I‘ING THE EMOTION S I While sitting, listening to the testimo- nies, reading the minds of the critics, I Saturday, April 20, 1935 thought for consideration, these emotions and, expressions that we are reflecting through the vibrations of the Spirit, oth- ers have it to some extent. Everyone who has been converted, even in mortal consciousness, they have a slight sketch- and a reflection of a percent, of a percent, of ‘a percent of a percent of a percent Of a fraction of a. percent of a. grain of it. but we have ALL of IT. You are not sprprised to hear a’ person move with , ecstacy, when that person is filled with JOY in your Churches, especially “the old-timers.” You arenot surprised to see and to hear one move with enthusiasm, if he or she.is on the Baseball Stand, (“It’s true FATHER,” confirmed the‘ Followers.) . . . at the Baseball, Ground, when the one he is betting on, is making “the HOME RUN.” At times, they lose con- trol of themselves; the same‘ like man- ner in horse-racing; equivalently the same around the Prize Ring. These are some simple facts, I AM calling your attention to, but the worst of all, I will ‘call your attention to, is the emotion you make when you‘ are excited and angry. You hear men say, “Well, I don't be- lieve in so much emotion, and at times they break the plates on the ‘table, turn over theetable, cursing and swearing to the top of their voices. Now that is’ the kind of emotion lots ofethem like to have. They like that kind of an emotion, but they do not like the emotion that moves you spontaneously, through’ JOY, and THANKSGIVING and PRAISES, butthat kind of emotion will tell you.» to KILL. your fellow-brother, and it "will tell you to murder someone. because of his race, creed or color. That kind of an emotion will tell you to do all of those things, but this kind of Emotion will cleanse you from the desire to steal, fromthe desire to kill, from the desire to commit adult- ery. That is what these Emotions will do for you. It will cleanse you and purge you of the very desire to commit adultery. The Law says: “Thou shalt not commit adultery,” but your emotions could not prohibit you from doing it, because your, emotions would cause you to do it, but these emotions will prohibit you from doing it. SPIRIT’ OF ‘GOD THE TRANSFORMER The RADICALNESS of the RADICAL converted in the POSITIVE direction, will change your conditions. It will change your disposition, will cause you’ to be NEW Creatures, in reality, no longer im- aginary. It will cause yo uto be NEW Creatures, in reality, will cause you to walk in the Land of the Living, self-re- spectful and self-respecting, and respect- ing others as well as yourself. The Law was weak. It could not force you to do , .- o....... .._...-aux.‘ at 176:}.-.‘:~ ' . "Saturday. April 20, 1935 it, but MY SPIRIT will stop you from doing all of those kind of things. What- soever the Law told you not to do, you DID it, and you did it until I came, but oh, it ‘is wonderful, since I have come, MY SPIRIT has stopped you from doing all of those things; MY SPIRIT has changed your mind, has changed wour disposition, has changed your inclinations. It has changed your intuition. It has caused you to be‘ a NEW Creature, in reality, no longer maybe. That is what MY SPIRIT has done. IT has not done anything yet to what IT will do. In the next ‘TWENTY YEARS, it shall CLEAN the Earth of allvice and crime. The things you have been doing,. you will not wish to do again. The Generation that will be living in the next TWENTY YEARS, (It is indeed wonderful!) they will be thinking different from the way they have been thinking. They will be doing different from what they have done, for the MOUTH of GOD has said it, and you, yourselves, have spoken it. (Ap- plause.) ALL THINGS FhLFILLED Oh, it is such a privilege to know every good and desirable Blessing, every request of your Maker can be fulfilled in this Dispensation, as you bring your bodies into subjection for the Spirit of GOD'S PRESENCE, will help you, and will cause you .to do what HE bids you do. Now that is what it is all about, Dear Ones, hence, “fret not yourselves because of the workers of iniquities,” nei- ther because of the critics, for if you do not have a LETTER of the English Alpha- bet, GOD is among you, with the FOUNT of His OMNISCIENCE. And GOD will teach you WISDOM that will transcend all human understanding. That is why I am teaching now in the Schools. These are the places of study, humanly speak- ing. It is a Condescension of GOD'S OM- NISCIENCE, to go to the Schools of Ed- ucation, that HE might teach through them, and that they might teach in HIM. (“Truly wonderful!" sanctioned the Hear- ers.) It is indeed wonderful, but the great INDEPENDENCE of GOD is still the same, with or without a person, HE came when His SPIRIT moved out upon the FACE of the DEEP, and said “LET there be LIGHT, and there was LIGHT." I AM speaking equivalently the same to- day: “LET there be LIGHT of UNDER- STANDING from every angle; LET the INTELLIGENCE of the Intelligent be converted and LET the WISDOM, of the WISE be born again: Let them come nigh to judgment and GOD through them wil give them UNDERSTANDING, such an UNDERSTANDING that has not been revealed to humanity.” The “SPOKEN WORD” ' Oh, it is ' such a privilege, and these emotions are not merely fanaticism, as I have been stressing from time to time, neither are they the expressions of ig- norance only, but if you stop for consid- eration, would you not consider the per- son or persons who will fight and holla to the top of their voices, swearing and cursing in the streets and in their homes. Would you not consider them to be ig- norant? They are emotional, but they're emotional in a destructive and in a de- testable way, while you are emotional in a harmonious and in a harmless way, for this way will cleanse you from the desire to commit sin and vice and crime, but the emotions of which I AM speaking concerning the wicked, they will cause them to desire to do the thing that GOD said, “DO NOT DO.” THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS Now just’ think of it! There are thou- sands and thousands of people the Uni- verse over, returning stolen goods, by the SPIRIT of MY PRESENCE; by get- ting in these vibrations and by being thrilled to these emotions, the very minds have been changed and the desire to cease from sin and live no longer therein, but return to the LORD and live and ASK their GOD to Forgive . . . . Not one of MY Followers would smoke a cigar- ette. I mean, NOT ONE OF MY TRUE’ FOLLOWERS. It is indeed wonderful! Just think of it! (“Truly wonderful!” chorused the great Mass.) Now if it were only to stop you from doing those little “no-harm" habits, it would be worth considering. It should be convincing to the average man of cul- ture or intelligence, that they might see and know‘ there is a REALITY in that which they did not know heretofore . . . I thank you. Just before I make MY seeming depar- ture, I would like to say, we still have in Hand, this DIME that was lost and found. This is what MY SPIRIT will do. This is what these Emotions will do. These Emo- tions have caused MY Followers to turn in Hundreds and Thousands of Dollars that were lost and found, stolen goods and other valuables that were received dishonestly. They have retu'rned them and still are returning them. That is what these fanatical and radical and ig- norant Emotions will do for them. It will change them completely and cause them to be NEW CREATURES. It is in- deed wonderful! HONEST AND TRUSTWORTHY I would just like to say, we have in hand, a. considerable sum of money col- lected from time to time, which has been — 14 M’ _,w \ figs lost and found, by MY True Believers.;,_ We have been advertising it for mor.e».- thn a y er. I have been thinking of_ some way that I could spend it in a way. that it will not be in a way of a selfish, ‘or for any selfish purpose-—I say, in a;.. selfish way or purpose for those who are connected, not for the selfish purpose of; any other.‘ I have been advertising it. for more than a year. I have been think" ing what shall I do with it. Maybe .a car-load of coats, sweaters, scarfs, um- brellas, etc.-, are here in storage. We do" not want them. There are gloves and ‘G every other wearing apparel. These things have been lost and found in the- Auditorium, Dining Room and on the " streets, and even in the parks and in dif”-I ferent places. We have been advertis--~ ing them for more than a year, and the 3 people will not come and get them. We want to do something with them. It is.‘ indeed wonderful! (“So wonderful!” sweet-3 ly and understandingly remarked the Fol='_' lowers.) ‘ This is what MY SPIRIT, through these" Emotions, through these fanatical and ig-"1 norant Emotions will do for you. They will cause you to be HONEST, COMPE-‘*5 TENT and TRUE, and “DO unto others‘ as you would have them do to you.” P‘ Oh, it is such a. privilege, Dear Ones" . . . I will study some plan, if they are“ not called for, whereby we can dispose of-7 them. It does not look justifiable to just‘-" say, THROW THEM AWAY, even money, the same as this dime, but I do not merely- mean dimes and nickles . . . Some of MY.- Followers have found as much as ONE’- HUNDRED and FIFTY DOLLARS Cash; money at one time. It is indeed wonder--.~. ful! One found ONE HUNDRED and FIFTY-FIVE DOLLARS Cash, I think .i.t.. was, the coldest day we have had in Sev--~ enty Years, in New York City. This‘; money is still in store for the loser. This” is what MY SPIRIT will do for you. This is what IT has done, and still will do. ‘It ‘ will give you the Spirit of HONESTY, and . make you COMPETENT.

Melendez Los Angeles, Calif. Saturday; April 20, 1935 , Principle and Right By H. E. NOBLE We often judge unwisely. We approve or condemn men by their actions. But it _so happens that many a man whom we condemn," GOD ALMIGHTY approves; and many ,a one whom we approve, GOD condemns. In" this mortal world it often happens that we have saints in prisons and ‘devilsw in priestly robes. We often view things under a false sight, and pass our judgments accordingly. But ‘GOD ALMIGHTY, FRTHER DIVINE, judges from behind the veil, where’ motives re- veal themselves like lightnings on a cloud. Now, right and might lie in; motive. Personally they answer the question, “Ought 1*?” and “Can’I?” Some men ask, “Ought I dovthis?” Others ask, “Can I do this?” It is the -Angel that asks, “Ought I to do this?” It is the devil that asks “Can I do this?” Until We are sntirely dead to the ‘World and have arisen in Christ Jesus, we have good and bad in us. The good would do what it ought to do; the bad does what it can do. The good dwells in the king- dom that FATHER DIVINE, GOD AL- -MIGHTY, has set up on this earth; the bad sits on the throne of might. Right is a loyal subject; might is a royal tyrant. Right is the foundation of the river of Peace; might is the mother of war and its abominations. Right is the evangel of FATHER DIVINE, GOD ALMIGHTY, that proclaims the “acceptable year of the. Lord.” Might is the scourge of the world that riots in carnage, groans and blood. Right is the arm of ..freedom made bare and beautiful in the eyes of all the good in heaven and earth; might is the sword of power unsheathed in the hand of oppression. Right gains its victories by peace; might conquers only by war. Right strengthens its army by the in- crease of all its conquered; might Weak- ens its force by every victory,‘ as a part of its power must stand guard over its new-mad-e subjects. Right rules by invi- tation; might by compulsion. Right is unselfish; might knows nothing but self. Right is for the whole; might is for one. Right is unassuming; might is pompous as a king. Right is instructive; might is dictatorial. Right reasons like a philoso- pher; and prepares the ground on which it sows; might stalks on like madness, reckless of everything but the end that is sought. Right is a lamb, cropping buds and flowers to make itself more beauti- ful. Might is a tiger prowling in search of prey. Right is a. moralist resting in principle; might is a worldling seeking for pleasure. These are inward princi- ples contending with each other in every human soul. -' ‘ w"‘."“"""§"" 33' -'~3.'°'~7"":" ' ‘ff-3 ""'-"3“?".§‘!§:z.mr"§’b'!‘L*?“?iris-:, E "f}"“fl \'1‘‘_%_ ‘.«':5! ’\‘W.' 0/ ‘ ,*.~»:>'>vm::;~a= ‘Saturday, April 20, 1935 THE Mlkigt of LIFE The world may be likened to a vast mirror reflecting that which the mind conceives. That which is seen without, that which beckons so alluringly before our deceived gaze, is but a mirage—an image——-an illusion-—the ‘reflection of that which in "TRUTH resides Within. “I would smile a little more, And I would kinder be; If you would stop to think before You speak of faults you see; If I would show more patience to, With all with whom I'm hurled, Then I would he1p——and so would you—- To make a better world.” Mr. H. G. Wells, who is described in a newspaper feature column as being “men- tally as young as he was fifty years ago,” believes the human race will be perfect, some fine day, but must have a bad time of it _in the meanwhile. He predicts that America will face a“ a homegrown revolution.” Mr. Wells does not believe this revo- lution will be Communist or Fascist, but as he puts it, “thoroughly American." He did not go on to describe further just what kind of a revolution such would be but he declares that Senator Huey Long will not be dictator in charge. On the whole Mr. Well’s prediction may be justified as a fairly accurate summary’ of the situation at the moment. Cer- tainly, it is the ideal and vision of all enlightened minds that a “perfect human race” is entirely possible and it is more- over a reasonably safe guess that Huey Long will not ascend to the dictatorship of the United States. Mr. Wells has preserved his reputation as a critic of the more discerning sort. It is peculiar what‘ devices humans will resort to in order to obtain peace of mind and a clear approach to fancied prob- lems. A McIntyre describes the various pe- culiarities of outstanding figures in the world of art and creation. One interna- tional lawyer constantly hops out of his chair at business conferences to pace back and forth. This same lawyer finds, apparently, that he thinks best on the move and frequently crosses the ocean merely for the deck walking when unrav- eling at particular knotty problem. An- other leading figure things best in rapid stri-d-es and an artist of note forsakes his easel to circle his Mudio repeatedly. The- odo're Roosevelt, it is said, when dis- turbed, liked to walk swiftly alone. Cleveland cleared his mind by strolling- in the rain. At their “colleg on display at the San Diego exposition, these ‘seals are excellent students. for several reasons. instead of good marks, they get appetizing fish. And if they don't study‘ hard and become vaudeville actors. tl1ey’ll end up as fur coats. “Dictator Stalin talks of the “toiling class” as though “toil” would always be a hardship and mark of poverty. Even his world fails to conceive the “toiling” class as the richest class possible when “toil” is taken out of the cabbage patch and devoted to the pursuit of things man really wants to create.” A woman in Springdale, Arkansas, swallowed a sewing needle when nine years old.

The “SPOKEN WORD” TESTIMONY f SALLYJEFF LUCAS The “SPOKEN WORD,” Los Angeles Calif. Dear Sir: . I am’ a little girl 13 years old. Will you publish my testimony that has come forth through me from FATHER? Peace FATHER: My FATHER, my Sweet FATHER, my only FATHER, is the onlyone. HE, the precious one has asked me to tell every- one my glorious demonstration. You try to do everything, you think you can work this wonderful work of FATHERS out, and then you wonder why you can't wérk this truth. Oh, my dear ones, can't you see that you have to let go and let HIM have the right of way? Can’t’you see that re- sentment, ‘worry, and the realiaztion of the self, will only end with destruction? Let us all rejoice in the name of our FA- THER. It is wonderful; it is truly won- derful. HE will reign and no other. Let us follow HIM all the way. The other day my FATHER DIVINE gave me money to buy me some shoes. When I _got home I had spent the day “down-town. My mother (mortal version) ‘said that she would rather that I wouldn’t get my shoes that day because she didn’t have any money in the house, but she said that I could get them the next day _as she was going to get some money then. She didn’t want me to spend it but said ‘she just liked to have a little money in the house in case she should need it for some- thing. But FATHER told me to buy a good dinner for the family. At first I resisted, saying to myself, “why should I spend my money on them.” But FA- THER kept on. I couldn’t help myself when FATHER just carried me right into the living room where the family was. He asked what they wanted for dinner, and the unanimous answer was for hambur- gers. So I went to the store and when I went over to get the meat, mother (mor- tal version) had told me to get hambur- ger as steak was so high. But nothing is too good for FATHER'S children, and FATHER knew that too, ‘as HE bought the steak. He bought, nearly everything we saw and they were the most expen- sive. It was great fun buying it and every- one enjoyed it, but you know how the tempter will try to come in, and after it was all spent and the realization that I wouldn't get my shoes, a lump came up in my throat. The tempter has a lot of ways of hurting, and I had to go have my cry out so I picked the back bedroom because no ‘one could find me there. While Saturday, April 20. 1935 I was laying there a voice from within me said, “Now what is all of this?. You have just done a great work but now are you going to let the tempter come in?” That woke me up and I said, ‘Sally Jeff, you prove yourself after all, FATHER gave you that money and if HE saw fit that you should spend it on something else you should obey HIM as HE is the Master over all and if you don’t watch yourself you'll be thinking you can rule everything. Then woe be unto you. So you get up.from here right now and prove that you are worthy of more money as there is plenty and if you don’t get it you have cheated yourself out of it. After all maybe FATHER was to see. if you were worthy of the money. So let your light shine.’ So I got up from that bed and went and did the dishes and sang_ all the while. And I know if I keep up the faith HE will bless me with a pair of shoes. 0 Oh dear sweet brothers and sisters, can't you see that HE is GOD? But you can't workit out; just leave it with him for the Lilies all do and they grow. Give your body, heart ,and soul to him. Keep on praising HIS name and follow HIM all the way, and you will came through with victory. It is truly wonderful. In the name of FATHER DIVINE. Actions still speak louder than words. PEACE E. I.

LOVELL From all over the world we are receiv- ing reports, plans and means, from this‘ Nation and that Nation; this organization and that organization; this political group‘ and that political group, also from all religious movements and from the individual, for the restoration of peace and prosperity. Fundamentally every nation, political party, every organiza- tion, religious group and every individual is earnestly trying to figure a way out of the chaos that the world is slowly but surely being thrown into. The. so- called great men of the world are all "working to that end as far as they see and understand it.‘ If greed, selfishness, race prejudice, corrupt politics, self-ag- grandizement, craving and struggle for individual or group power, were com- pletely discarded, I firmly believe that the world affairs would adjust them- selves and peace and ‘ heaven on‘ earth would reign. As we look over the world at. large today, we see la very wonderful world. Living conditions have advanced, educa- tional systems- are far superior to those of fifty, years ago. Inventions and im- provements for the benefit of men are pouring in faster than ever before. The people on the whole are right, they are striving to do that which is going to benefit_ all. It is the chosen few or those elected to offices, both public and pri- vate, who when they get in, the majority of them can not take it. They immedi- ately forget the Principle and those-who had faith in them and are tempted by self gain and selfishness. It is not right that nations should be at each others throats ready to fight. It is not right that political parties and religious movements should take on that "holler than thou" air. There is only one right Principle, one right Law for all mankind, no matter what the so-called race, color, or social position may be. And that is unselfishness, peace and equal rights for one and all! In this wonderful new and God-chosen country of ours, we find dozens of differ- ent parties and hundreds of well-known men are are all fighting to put into effect that which they think is going to relieve the world of its present seeming afflictions, /wants and woes. Think how grand it would be if all these men, all men of intelligence and brains, would forget party and self and each and every one of‘ them turn to the one Principle 1fhe“SPOIiEN worm" Just a Trunkline Traffic Jam P_age’23 Elephants are known to have good memories, but these tuskers evidently forgot themselves when they laid down on the job on a. Los Angeles thoroughfare. It was a circus while it lasted, what with crowds and stalled traflic and all. but the creatures finally arose and lumbered on about their business. and the Law of “doing unto others as he would be done by" and for the bene- fit of man and humanity get together in UNITY. There isn't a man, woman or child in the whole world who wouldn't be glad and happy to put all their efforts into help such a cause if they could be assured of just treatment and were able to make a decent living. That is all man on the whole asks from life-equality, racially, socially, materially and spiritu- ally. It is only when groups or individuals try to hog all the power, and then fight others who are trying to do the same thing that we have wars, famine, and depressions. » But there is a ray of light and hope on the horizon. God——~our Father is here! While man is fighting for power, God is quietly and surely putting His Mind and Spirit in those who are ready to follow in his foot steps and is guiding and show- ing them the way. He tells us he will support any person or candidate or group who will stand for righteous judgment and equal rights for all. But if that per- son or group fails or falls into the old rut, of making promises and then break- ing them or is forced to break them by those who would rule, he will be im- mediately kemoved from office. And it is true that politicians all over the country are seeking Father Divine’s support. There may be some who think because Father Divine has some twenty million followers, that they might be smart in gaining that sugary speeches and promises and when in-—well that is another story. But beware! The day of sugary speeches and promisesais over and that person who is not sincere is playing with a live wire and is liable to destruction. There is an abundance of everything good right here on earth. We do not need to have more than is already here. But that abundance cannot and must not be centered in one spot or among a few. It must be evenly distributed for the benefit of "all, but not under the guiseof support with any named party or power but the one: real Fundamental Principle. Father Divine is showing and leading the way. Political parties, organizations. stop fighting one another; stop slinging mud and abuses! You are like a bird in a cage battling for a way out and cannot " find it, not even by force. There is only the RIGHT WAY, GOD’S WAY, Turn" your gaze to th-e only ONE who can take‘ you out of this chaotic condition into peace and plenty. Talk, think, and visu-f alize peace, prosperity and good! .ADa.ms 9130 ALBERT L.

Urges Constitution Be Supported As Divine Work _ SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 7.- Members of the Latter Day Saints Church here today were urged by J. Ruben Clark, Jr., first counselor to Pres- ident J, Grant and former Ambassador to Mexico, to support the Constitution of the United States as a divine instru- ment. In addressing the group Clark ‘recalled 9. revelation which he said was given to the church in its early days, command- ing obedience to the Constitution and the civillaws. Said Clark: “To me that statement of the Lord puts the Constitution of the United States in the same position it would‘ have been in if written in the Book itself.” ” Phone ADams 9444 I OVERNIGHT PARKING DAY and NIGHT snnvron A COMPLETE AUTOMOBILE SERVICE UNDER_ ONE ROOF Busy Bee Auto Works Fenders Straightened & Refinished Frames and Axles Straightened Motor Overhauling Wrecks Rebuilt Brakes Refined Expert Painting and Spraying’.
