The Spirit of My Presence Has Truly Come to Give No. 49 ._.—_ You Your Real Economic, Social and / ii Political Emancipation—FATHER FATHER Says, “I Will Answer the Economic Problem. for, the Federal Government if Uncle Sam Will Recognize My Presence” FATHER'S MESSAGE AT MECCA ARENA, —- FOURTEENTH ST. AND AVENUE A,—-NEW YORK CITY, EASTER SUNDAY, MAR. 23, 1937 A.D.F.D. 8.45 :P.M. It was Easter Sunday, but in the bright noon-day sun, historic Madi- son Square in Downtown New York seethed with activity. Around the Square in mass formation, a great Army was taking form, and colorful ‘banners in the fresh breeze were be- ing unfurled. Police radio cars,‘ mounte-d Officers, and Officials moved about and looked on, but there was nothing to do, for all was perfect -Peace and Order. At one of the ex- its of the Square a troup of horses and riders waited restively for the order to move, and several brass bands stood ready to fall in line, Soon a Rolls-Royce everybody knows, with a white dove on the ra- diator, appeared on the scene fol- lowed by a number of other cars. It was the Commander-in-Chief and His Staff, and the order was given to proceed. Then the March was on, as a part of the greatest Demon- stration of RIGHTEOUSNESS the world has ever seen. It was the Easter Parade of FATHER DI- VINE’S PEACE MISSION, and FA- THER DIVINE, GOD ALMIGHTY accompanied it, riding in the Rolls- Royce in Person. As the many detachments of the great Parade moved out o.f the Square, Righteousness Marched on as never before. It differed from pre- vious Easter Demonstrations to some extent, and differed Widely from all other gatherings of its «kind in his- tory except gatherings of the Peace Mission, in that not one of its par- ticipants owed a man a penny. If any of them did, they had observed the Rule and Regulation of Right- eousness in the Righteous Govern- ment Platform, and had come on foot rather than spend money unneces- sarily or allow another to spend it for them, when they owed another a just debt_ This Command had come from FATHER a few days before the Parade, when tens of thousands of Followers throughout Metropolitan area and from other parts of the Country were prepar- ing to march through downtown New York in a most colossal De- monstration. With almost unbeliev- able rapidity FATHER’S Word spread however, and telephone calls began coming in from Brooklyn, Jamaica, Long Island, Newark, and from every point of the compass, stating that many would be unable to be present, though many in Up-_ per Manhattan proved their devotion. by walking downtown, marching in the Parade, and then walking back again. It reminded one of the last Divine Boat Excursion when FA: THER gave a similar Command, al- though two excursion boats had been engaged in advance, and the loss was willingly absorbed for Righteousness’ sake by those the great : in. Page 4 charge, when one Boat made the trip empty. ‘However, on Easter Sunday no such sacrifice was necessary, and the True and the Faithful many thousands strong marched through the densely populated streets of the lower East Side, declaring to the masses that ‘FATHER DIVINE is GOD.’ It has been said that New York City holds more Spanish- speaking people than there are in Madrid, more Italian—speaking peo- ple than in Rome, more so-called Jews than in Jerusalem, more Rus- sians than in Petrograd, and more of practically every other nation- ality than there are in the capi- tals of those respective Countries. On“Sunday hundreds of thousands of them -turned out to see this great Demonstration headed by the Ban- ners of Peace, of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, with every so-called nation, language, tongue and people united together ‘as one man at Jerusalem,’ by the grégat recognition of the ACTUAL. PER- SONIFIED PRESENCE of GOD. A great change had come over the people! They looked earnestly at the Banners and were thoughtful. They no longer considered it a joke. One could almost see the recognition dawning of that tremendous fact,- ‘GOD is here.’ Throughout the maze of narrow streets it was the same, as a Police Department that values highly the Leaven that has transformed large sections of the City and is destined to change it all corflpletely, cooperat- ed to the fullest extent, and led the way. At the end of the route the happy thousands, together with many inter- ested spectators, marched into the Mecca Arena,-—those who could be accommodated,—and the great Pub- lic Meeting commenced. Back of the Platform, gleaming under the flood- lights was a tremendous white cur- tain bearing the two hemispheres of the world and the words, ‘Peace to , the World.’ It was’directly under this that FATHER sat Personally when he entered the great Auditorium while thousands, from the orchestra rows to the far away rows in the rear of the Balcony, shouted their ec- stasy at the sight of the Body of / their Saviour. The “SPOKEN WORD” Many Visiting Speakers were presented by Mr. Madison, Chairman of the Righteous Government De- partment, during the course of the five—hour Meeting which followed. These included Mr. Ben Howe, Chairman of the City Fusion Par- ty; Judge Myles ‘C. Paige, Represent- ing Mayor LaGuardia of the City of New York; Dr. N. N Rasnick and Commissioner Reginald Parnell of Newark. Other Speakers of course included many of the Righteous Government Department, Mr. Na- than N. Kranzler of Newark, Mr. Nelson of Newark, Judge Welch -of New Brunswick, Professor Simpson of the Kingdom W.P.A. School, Mr. Joseph Gabriel of Olive Bridge in the Promised Land, and others, notably Major Post who sang admirably. Visitors and Followers alike, and even the Police who stood for hours with nothing to do, enjoyed the speeches and glowing tributes paid to FATHER and His Work by the vari- ous Speakers. The great event of the evening to one and all however, came when FATHER arose to Speak Personally about the middle of the evening, as follows:—- THANK YOU FATHER. ,“PEACE EVERYONE! Here we all are, and there I AM. There I sit once again, and here you all stand., I am still transmitting the Reality of Myself to the children of men, ‘ that mankind universally might be the expressers of Him Who Liveth forever and forever. For this cause I Came, and for this purpose I stand. Then I Say," RIGHTEQUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, I have made these Qualities a Living Reality. I have tangible-ated them and I have reincarnated them and am bringing them through ‘legality’ by the Spirit of .My Presence being exemplified and manifested in politics. YOUR REAL ECONOMIC EMANCIPATION Oh it is a privilege to realize. the Mission of CHRIST on Earth among men was not merely to bring an ex- pression of that which is commonly known as Religion, but it was to bring about the Universal Brother- hood of Man and the consciousness of the FATHERHOOD of GOD, that mankind might unify themselves to- gether with Him and live no longer in sin where they would be con- Tuesday, April 6th, . 1937 demned. You have been robbed and spoiled, you have been condemned by the accusers, and by those who do condemn you, but the Spirit of My Presence in this last Dispensation has truly come to give you your real economic, social, and political eman- cipation. _ Beloved ones, a physical, emanci- pation is not enough. Mankind in a. great measure in this Country, those who have been enslaved were eman- cipated nearly seventy years ago as far as your physical bodies are con- ‘ cerned. We are privileged to know, such a limited emancipation was not sufficient to bring you your real Redemption, the Redemption for which I Came. REDEEMED FROM THE TURMOILSOF LIFE For this cause we are rejoicing and we are exceedingly glad, to pre- sent My Body as a Living Sacrifice for the Redemption of all mankind, that they all might recognize the ACTUAL PRESENCE of ‘GOD and be Redeemed from the turmoils of this life, both of their physical ex- istence, mental and spiritual condi- tions, and be in the ‘Land of the Living here on Earth and make this Earth a Heavenfy There are many things I could Say along this line, there are many Speakers I am quite ‘sure yet to speak, bu-t I was moved as the voli- tionated expression came forth in unison from these My Followers as they sang and played the Song that came by inspiration. Oh it is a priv- ilege to realize what the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Pur- pose can do. It can as it has al- ready, solve that economic problem that mankind has been striving and struggling under for ‘lo these many years.’ Capital and Labor have been at war between each other. They could not be brought together by one attempting to take the advan- tage of the other. Two wrongs can- not make one right. Right is in real- ity might, but wrong with violence can never express right, for with RIGHT without violence through the Spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, we shall control the Powers that Be and bring them in- to subjection even as you are into subjection to Me. GOD SHALL HAVE ACCESS At this Mighty Name of Whom l . ......-...__.._'..aa~_._. < . Tuesday, April 6th, 1937 you say I AM,_ every knee must bow and every tongue must confess that GOD, of Whom you say I AM, shall have access in the Earth, ‘for in these things I delight Says The Lord.’ ‘Let not the rich manglory in his riches, neither let the mighty man glory in his might; let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth Me, that I am HE Who executeth Righteousness and Judgment in the Earth, for in these things I delight Says The Lord.’ This is a quotation Well— worth considering. ‘He Who. executeth Righteousness and Judg- ment in the Earth!’ He did not Say through the Scripture,—‘I am He Who executeth Righteousness and Judgment in HEAVEN’, But ‘I am He Who- executeth Righteousness and Judgment in the EARTH, for in these things I delight Says The Lord.’ I have Declared to you that Right- eousness wil exalt any peop1e,——-in other words will exalt any Nation,-- but sin is a reproach to any people. The Spirit of My Presence and the Presence of ‘My "Spirit coming in this Dispensation in this last generation, transmitting -RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE to the hearts and lives of millions is causing them to live" Godly and soberly in this present World, causing them not on- ly to live according to the Scripture. but also to live Evangelically, for what did JESUS, ‘the Great’ Love Master Say? ‘First seek, ye the Kingdom of GOD and His Righteous- ness, and all these things shall be added.’ RIGHTEOUS AND GODLY LIVES My Followers sought RIGHTEOUS- NESS firstly. They became to be Righteously, and soberly, and God- ly livers in this present world, and by so doing, from the Righteous Judgment in the hearts and lives of them I drafted My RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM upon which they and all mankind niixst . stand. Drafting this RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM, I have introduced it to all of the fields of Government and to every other field of endeavor, -that they might have a chance to come into possession of RIGHTEOUSNESS, The. “SPOKEN womr TRUTH and JUSTICE, that they too as well as you My Followers, might. be exalted above depressions, above lacks, and wants and limitations, 3.- bove the segregation and discrimi- nations millions have’ been under- going. I Say Righteousness will exalt the Nation, but sin is aireproach to any people. I Came transmitting My Spirit and My Mind to those of My Followers through this great Con- version, causing them to live sober- ly, Righteously and Godly in this present world. For this cause you can see plainly, the great transfor- mation of ‘the children of men in this high light of Civilization,-— translated from all mortality, trans- lated from sin, translated from even’ ' modest, (as they may be termed), habits of men, and Redeemed in the Land of the Living where I AM. WALKING IN, THE STATUTES My Friends, do you not see the cleanliness of the Spirit of My Pres’- ence in such a political Audience as as this? Have you ever seen such an Audience, where there was no smoking,drinking, or profane. lan- gage? I have long since declared, ——‘I will Preach CHRIST in Words but more so in Deeds and in Ac- tions, and I will put My Spirit in them and cause them to walk in My Statutes.’ Do you not see My Fol- lowers walking in My Statutes? They are walking in the way of RIGHT- EOUSNESS! They are walking in the way of TRUTH! They are walk- ing in the way of JUSTICE! They are expressing the Spirit of Honesty, of Competence, and of Truth. Oh it is a privilege to live in the ‘Land of the Living, where the Spir- it ‘of My Presence can transform the people, where it has actually trans- formed them, and where you can ‘see where sin has reproached them. Now aren’t you glad! Now men are marveling at the Economic System of My Peace Mission Movement in the Promised Land. I am telling not only the City, or the City Govern- ment, but I am telling our Federal Government, if Uncle Sam will rec- ognize 'My Presence I will answe-r «the "economic problem for the Fed- eral Government under which we are living. Now aren’t you glad! Page 5 PURGE THE- POLICE DEPARTMENT Not one of My real Followers is on the Welfare,———Not one of them! For the Spirit of My Presence has -actually exalted them and they have no longeran occasion to be beggars. Having no longer an occasion to be beggars, and being honest, compet- ent and true, they will not go on the Welfare to get something through false pretense," Oh it is a privilege to realize what GOD can do for the world, as it is under the sound of My Voice. You see the Police De- partment as we have the Represent- atives of the Police Department here this Evening, they do not have any- thing to do. I am making it easy for them! Oh it is a privilege to realize it! GOD in the midst of you not on- ly makes it easy, but He will clean up the Police Department and purge it of it's corruption, for the. Mouth of GOD has Spoken it. Now aren’t you glad to realize,——-‘Righteousness exailts a nation but sin is a re- proach to any people’? SPEAKIN G FROM THE DEPTHS OF THEIR SOULS In our RIGHTEOUS GeovnnN- MENT MOVEMENT we find My Presence, My Mission and My Activ- lities are expressed supremely. VVhy? Because from every angle expressible they recognize GOD’S Presence, and they recognize it to be GOD. That is wliy you hear them sing so vivid- ly and enthusiastically whensoever they sing volitionally, because they are singing with the Spirit of Sin- cerity, they are speaking from the depths of their souls. Now you all can see plainly, whensoever one of you is speaking’ and you touch the Key- note, touch the belief and conviction and realization of ‘My Followers, they respond to you volitionally. They answer you instantaneously in unison. They declare whatsoever -you are saying is true. Now isn't that Wonderful! I Thought of how marvel-ou-s it is when these My Followers are called on to move volitionally and speak and act inspirationally. They are speak- ing and acting according to My Coming, not by the will of man, not by the will of the flesh, nor by the will of the blood, but of GOD. That is why you can see the vibrations almost put forth into expression via- "*‘ ‘“ Page 6 The “SPOKEN WORD” Tuesday, April 6th, 1937 ibly manifested whensoever they are privileged to move volitionally, es- pecially endorsed in their volition- ated expression by the Chairman. HALL FILLED TO OVERFLOW I would like to Say, I would have Said plainly, I would fill this little Auditorium although it is looked upon as a large Auditorium among some.—as ,I tell. My Followers, if you visualize ‘limitedly’ you will re- ceive the same. If you only get a hall this size I will fill this hall, and if you get the Madison Square Garden I will fill IT. From a psy- chological point of view I carry in Myself and in My Presence, My Name, filled with the germs of the Abundance ‘of the Fullness, "and if you set before Me any hall, i-t mat- ters not what capacity it may be, as an empty pitcher,—as you, used to say in your Religion,—‘I come before you an empty pitcher before a full Fountain,’—if you will come. before Me as an empty pitcher be- fore a full Fountain, with your minds open and in perfectharmony with Me, I will fill you to overflow and fill you abundantly, from every angle expressible. Now isn’t that Wonderful! i As I have often ‘Said according to one of My original Compositions, ‘The Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good, no space is vacant of the Fullness thereof.’ This little Composition is a Motto I brought forth as a Declaration con- cerning the mystery of My Presence, and the mystery of the Abundance I have been and am always express- ing. ‘The Abundance of “the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good, no space is vacant of the Fullness there- of.’ Each of you can produce the Abundance of‘ the Fullness if you carry within yourselves the Mag- netic Current of GOD'S Infiniteness, for youwill attract to you and draw the Abundance of the Fullness from the Infiniteness of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE. ‘- PRODUCING ABUNDANCE This is applicable to our Agricul- tural Department of our Movement. As you heard the Speaker here say, and this one, in the Promised Land My Followers in My Name and in My Spirit are producing the Abu11=.l- ance of the Fullness of all good things,~—of honey, of maple sugar, and of chickens and ducks, turkeys, and guineas, and pigs, horses and cows, a-plenty to eat and to drink and to wear, until one of the local Papers up there declared that I had purchased over thirty thousand acres of tax-exempt property in U?lst.,er' County. Now this was an exaggera- tion asfar as tax-exemption is con- cerned. Not any of this property that I or My Followers in My Name have purchased, is tax-exempt,—not ANY of it. There are some pieces of property in our Peace Mission Movement Connections up there, the very taxes alone amount to more than two thousand dollars,——just one piece of property. Now they declared we had purchased more than thirty thousand acres in the names of the different ones of My Followers. VVell if they are Co-workers, why not? Why should not they come into pos- session of their rightful inheritance? I am not needing anything for My- self as a Person. BE MEEK AND LOWLY The Bible Declares,——‘The meek shall inherit the Earth, and the Righteous shall dwell in the Land forever.’ Then I Say, RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, be meek and lowly in heart, and you Will find rest for your body as well as for your soul. You have bqen op- pressed, you have been under the oppressions of the depressions and the suppressions of the people, and of the spirits and of the minds of men by their theories and by their doctrine. You have» been suppressed even to the extent, you were afraid to speak or to act volitionally. But, I came to give you your real mental and spiritual Emancipation, that you might be able to speak and move volitionally and tell men of their transgressions, and the children of this People wheresoever they stand how they have sinned, by putting into practice the Golden Rule, (10- ing by others as you would have them do by you. GOD IS IN THE LAND When My Followers are returning stolen goods and paying all of their old bills, they are telling those whom they are paying them and returning them to, that GOD is in the Land, - and as I am doing so you must do, or else you will not be a'ble to go through. Oh it is a privilege to real- ize the ACTUAL PRESENCE of GOD. GOD is actually renovating old property, old homes, and caus- ‘ing the Country to be a fit place in ‘which to live. This, if the farmers would have done years ago, men would not have left and deserted the farms or homes in the Country, for they were not fit places in which to live, The employees, as being called servants as they are in the cities, have been mistreated by the em- ployers and the Working -conditions were not sufficient to warrant those who were intelligent and ambitious enough, to remain on the farms, in the act and in the manner by which they were required. ABUNDANTLY BLESSED Take these Thoughts to considera- tion! I am putting all modern im- \provements in all of our property holdings out in the Country. Prac- tically every home, they are all im- proved with all modern improve- ments, with comfort and with con- ‘venience, and with telephones, with ‘radios, and with electric lights, and everything else. This is a lesson for the farmers that they might see and know, they must do to their employ- ees even as I do to you. When they learn to do for them and,consider the working conditiohs of the work- ing men, and realize they are human beings as Well as THEY are, then and there:‘GOD will abundantly bless them and prosper them in the Land, and fulfill the Scripture as was Spo- ken to M~oses,—‘I will Bless your go- lng out, I will Bless your «coming in, I will Bless you in your storehouses, I will Bless you in your ‘baskets, and I will Bless you inthe fruit of your land, and in the fruit of your cat- tle; I will Bless you in whatsoever you lay your hand to, and whatso- ever you do shall prosper.’ CAPITAL AND LABOR UNIFIED These Thoughts are well worth con- sidering! Then I Say, copy after the Fashion I have shown you, as the Representatives of Labor and as the Representatives of ‘Capital. I have brought, as a sample] and as an,ex- ample, Capital and Labor together, i'eesaa.y,d April 6th, 1937 ‘that they might be unified as one _man at Jerusalem’ and that there may be no division between these two great systems, no ,more than I request there.to be no division be- tween the so-called nationalities, de- nominations, races, creeds and col- ors. This is an outward expression of the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose. I am showing and telling you conclusively, I have brought you all together as a sam- ple for others. All of the Nations of the Earth must come together and unify themselves even as they are on My Immediate Staff, or they all shall be a failure. SLIGHT SKETCH OF ’ UNITY OF SPIRIT Why is it Capital and Labor have been at variance one to the other, so long? It is because one felt itself better than the other one and would - mistreat the other, until one is tempt- ed to destroy the other apparently. But in this Peace Mission Movement I shall have all systems to unify together, that there might be only one people, one language, and one speech. We shall not be discouraged until that RIGHTEOUS GOVERN-‘ MENT PLATFQJRM of Mine shall have been actually fulfilled in the Land of Civilization,-—in all of the civilized world,——that there shall be but one language and . one speech recognized with all of us, So long as you are divided in different na- tions, and languages, and tongues, and people, «denominations and other divisions as organizations, it is a matter of impossibility for you to unify yourselves together and ex- press scientifically in unison. But as a Sample and as an Example I ,Stand. I have ‘brought to the sur- face just a little slight sketch and a refiection of the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, and of how all mankind can and will eventually be brcught together, and one will not hurt nor harm the . other. BUYING NOTHING ON CREDIT I know you read about the differ- ent Extensions and Connections in the Peace Mission Movement,——how those who are called of one race and of the other race and of one nation- ality and the other nationality, they are unified together recognizing the Universal Brotherhood of Mankind The “SPOKEN worm” . and realizing the Fatherhood of GOD among them. Because of this they are Happy, they are Healthy, they are Successful, and they are Pros- perous. They have no occasion to buy anything on installment plan, neither to buy anything on credit. They have the means to pay cash as they go, because of the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Pur- pose, and by confessing their sins and forsaking them they are pros- perous in the Land of the Living among the children of men, It is Written,—‘He who covers his sins shall not prosper, but he who confesses them. shall have Mercy,’ which was to say in short, if you con- fess and forsake your sins GOD would abundantly Bless ‘you and cause you to be prospenous, success- ful, /and healthy and happy, for such is the Promise of GOD. By this, My Followers become to be Success- ful, Prosperous, and Happy; in the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose they overcome their diffi- culties and overcome their trials, -overcome even sickness and diseases, for they are lifted out of that sphere and placed on a higher plane, where those things cannot come. GOD A FREE GIFT TO MANKIND Now as far as property holdings in “ the Promised Land, I do not bear record Myself Personally, exactly how many acres are purchased and owned by the Peace Mission Move- ment and the Flllowers but I do know it is enough to accommodate a few thousand. It is being increased and multiplied almost weekly. Now isn’t ‘that VVonderf:.1l! You should rejoice‘ because you have been lifted and because I Love each and all of you, and because I am not seeking anything for a selfish purpose. My Work and Service are absolutely gratis, and a free gift to mankind as was the Body of JESUS. GOD so Loved the world that He gave Him to the world, that whosoever believ- eth on Him should not perish 'but have Everlasting Life, Now they have a better record of the amount of lan-d in our holdings than I have Personally, for we do not try to count GOD’S Blessings, but whenso- ever there is an article of exaggera- tion we desire to correct it for the good of the people. Page 7 Not one of our holdings, is tax- exempt, although all of them have been wonderfully improved.‘ Where they did not have all the improve- ments ‘we have put in all improve- ments in practically all of the places. We have increased the stock, cattle, poultry, and other stock.

GREAT ESTATE PURCHASED _ Now these Thoughts are well worth considering, and as we live it and express it in Unity of Spirit, of ,Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, and give others a chance to enjoy part of it we will also be ablessing to you who are not exactly connected. Now as our honored Speaker said 'a little while ago in reference to the Divine Lodge, commonly known as Townley Lodge, one of the great es- tates purchased by the Peace Mis- sion Movement’s Representatives, why eachand all of these proper- ties have.been renovated, and yet this and many other pieces of property werenup to date, such as the Orchard Terrace better known now as the Divine Terrace; such as Hasbrouck Manor, better known now as the Di- vine Manor; such as Greenkill Park, better known now as the Divine Greenkill Park, The Greenkill Park recently purchased by those of My Followers consists of a large portion of water on ._the Creek, aside from that of a large lake-as a -swimming pool. I do not recall now how many tennis courts,-—some ten or more I think there are,—golf links, and baseball fields, and a theatre, a large Hotel, horse-‘back riding, boating and swimming,‘ and a goodly number of bungalows, aside from the many -dif- ferent cottages. ALL WELCOME WHO WILL LIVE EVANGELIC-ALLY All of these, I wish to Say, will _ be at your disposal, in other words at your service. The Followers of FATHER DIVINE, so long as you live Evangelically outwardly and will remember one division, and that is the division as declared in the be- p. Page 8 ginning of the Creation, ‘GOD cre- ated he-males and females,’——that is the only rdivision we recognize. We mean to keep the males and the fe- males, especially if they are not married, apart, for such has been the destruction of all Righteous endeav- ors, when the males and females be- gin to get together. But if you de- sire to go up to the Promised Land, —even our hearers and Visiting Friends,——-if you are willing to live Evangelically While you are up there by refusing to smoke, and gamble and to «drink and use profane lan- guage, you are welcome to enjoy the blessings such as you do have to pay for at the Mohonk Hotel, close- ly connected to the New_Pa1tz ex- tension, around twenty-seven dollars a day for a room. You can get equivalent accommodation up there under the Divine Peace Mission Movement Plan for two dollars. per week, Now isn’t that Wonderful! You have ‘heard the Spirit of the Christian Church say through many of the different Christian Religions, JESUS Said, ‘Feed My Lambs,’---in other words, ‘ Feed My Lambs Says CHRIST your Shepherd, put the food within their reach.’ I have put these pleasures and exercises, comforts and conveniences, in the reach of the most insignificant and the poorest person among us, that they might Corrie into possession of some little enjoyment. While the wealthy here- tofore have been the only ones who could enjoy such, we shall enjoy the Blessings GOD through His Conde- scension has brought to the Earth. I Thank you.” THANK YOU FATHER. Catholic Interracial Group Ask Anti-Lynch Legislation New York, April 5th (FDP). The enactment of a strong, adequate and effective Anti-Lynch law by the present Congress was advocated yes- terday by the third annual Catholic Interracial Conference held in the Woolworth Building. In a unanimously adopted resolu- tion the conference characterized lynching as the enemy of Christian civilization and American democracy, a foul blot on the country’s.history and an open assault on the courts and the law-enforcing authorities.

The town is a business cen- ter for a dairy-farming district radi- ating out 40 miles, which is watered by the Burnett River and contribu- tory -creeks. The town has between 700 and 1000 inhabitants and the dis- trict has some 15 little townlets in it, many -also named with aboriginal names, -such as Mundowran, Gur- geena, Monong-orilby, Bilburie, Derra and Derrarabungy. Before the advent -of the present occupiers this ,must have been an Eden for the natives. Most of the farms are small, many of them far too small to yield comfort under the climatic conditions prevalent for the last quarter century. They range from 160 acres upward, and yield dairy products, eotton and timber, The whole district is a series of low hills and valleys and justly pic- tures the poet’s words, “Where every prospect pleases And only man is vile.” Looking out fnom this window one sees a small section of the town, be- yond it trees of every shade of green, then a wide span of ‘green crops and newly ploughed land, and a back- ground of wooded hills framed nuow, thank GOD, in a rain-cloud sky. During the last few days about three inches of rain -have fallen, the first almost for a year.

Tuesday, April 6th, 19.37 CIO Plans to Unionize East Texas Oil Fields; Governor Allred Calls Texas Rangers Austin, Texas, Apr. 5 (FDP),——~Or- ganizers of the Committee for In- dustrial Organization were gathered in Texas tonight prepared to start tomorrow a drive to unionize the oil field, pipe line and refinery workers of the State. Governor James W. Allred, who yesterday declared that while he is governor sit-down strikes will not be tolerated and that he will use every resource at his command to enforce the law, is prepared to enforce any court order that. may be issued against sit--downers, it was learned today. He has sent a detachment of Rangers to Dallas, within easy dis- tance of the East Texas oil fields, and concentrated other members «of the force in strategic positions. In Houston Harvey C. Fremming of the CIO announced what he termed the “opening of one of greatest labor moves,” the organiza- tion of the CIO among the 1,000,000 men in the oil industry_ “We want to tage an intensive campaign,” the aide of John L. Lewis said last night. “We are not looking for any fight.‘ Instead, we intend to drive home the philosophy of collective bargaining. That doesn’t mean sit-down strikes, either." Replying to Governor Allred’s defi to sit-downers, Fremming said: “The first thing I want’ to do is to ‘tell the Governor, a good friend of mine,’ that John L. Lewis and the CIO do not work on the principle of sit-down strikes Lewis merely in- herited that fiorm of strike.” A man who lives right and is right has more power in his silence than another has by his words.

And it was not promised to man but to saints; those whom the world despises and scorns; whose life on this plane is one of service and sacrifice,,, Yet GOD has even given Wisdom to man, that he might become a Son. of GOD and with. the spiritual birth, join the host of the Saints. HE said, “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own Soul? And what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul?” ‘ Where indeed is the profit, or what reward is there for him who loses his soul and its body. “What can man give in the place of his Soul which is given to him from GOD. He has naught to give for the only Giver is GOD. Will he sell this birthright (spiritual birth) for a mess -of pottage (Adam, or the mortal consciousness). * Even .the prophet of the Old Dis- pensation knew the Will -of the CRE- ATOR for he spoke with the inspira- tion of GOD. “I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn your- selves, and live -Ye,” What a glorious realization and what great comfort it is to know that this is the Dispensation of SHI- LOH (the FATHERSHIP Degree. of GOD) in the BODY of -FATHER DI- VINE. And "those who have ears to -hear, can heed the loving call of the FATHER and through the bap- tism of the HOLY GHOST (which _ Ciompirehending W/ith the Saints By MEDIRATAS HE alone can give), become Saint and enter in. mg today in the hills and valleys, throughout the length and breadth -of the land, as it did in the Sonship Degree, “Come unto ME, ALL Ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.” * * * Ask the Saints of FATHER DI-. VINE if they ‘lack any good things! Ask them if they have the under- standing of the Mystery! Ask them if -they can comprehend! Ask them, if in their Wonderful revelations they lack wisdom and discernment and you will see a smile of GLORY light up their heaven blessed and spirit- ually beautiful faces, and you will know beyond a doubt, they are in- deed the Saints of GOD. You will also know they have a something; that is greater than any gift of the world, and that they have caught the Heavenly vision, transmitted to them by the one they love with all their hearts, Souls and minds, their FATHER—-FATHER DIVINE. It is evident that man was not to know the Mystery of Life, but it was given to the Saints. “He who has washed his robes white and pure, has ceased to function in the man- ship degree and through the relaxa- tion of his conscious mentality, has made a complete and whole-hearted surrender, and no longer bears re- cord of the things of the past. He has entered the Kingdom of Heaven but entered right where the same other plane seemed to be. The blessing and reward of the Saints is sure and isagift of eternal duration. No wonder that no sacri- fice is too great to gain this only satisfactory state of Consciousness. Those who have entered know there is no other way than complete sur- render and a whole-hearted sacrifice of all that is not Evangelical or that is not endorsed by the Spirit of GOD——FATHER DIVINE. The Saintship Degree is no Mys- tery. GOD has given it to all who will harmonize with HIS Version and live Evangelically. ‘HE has come to set up HIS "Kingdom and it ‘shall The same call is echo- Page 9 not be left to another, The last trumpet is about to sound.‘ There is no other way for any- one to live in this time but to acknowledge HIM in all HIS Ways. May FATHER DIVINE bless the reader of the words herein written with that spirit of desire to know the Truth of Life, that he may also enter in the joys of the LORD and comprehend with the Saints. As it is stated in Ephesians, so do all the loving Saints of GOD desire with the Apostle, “That, Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the Saints what is the breadth and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ which pass- eth knowledge, that ye might be fill- ed with all the fullness of GOD”—- FATHER DIVINE. Another Banker Says No General War in Europe New York, April 2,—Thom«as S. Lamont, son of Thomas W. Lain- ont, and, with his father, a partner in the great banking house of J. P.

Discussing the problem of invest- ments in the United States by citi- zens of other countries, Mr. Lamont said that ‘foreign investors were con- tinuing to "buy American securities, When reminded of President Roose- velt’s warning that excessive for- eign investments in the United States wereia possible menace in the event of sudden heavy withdrawals, he replsied: “I don’t know of any way that such purchases can be prevent- ed. You can’t blame investors in a nervous Europe for wanting to in- vest in a booming oountry.” RICE In the United States rice is pro- duced on a commercial scale in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Cali- fornia, where irrigation water is available and the soil and tempera- ture are favorable to the growth.

Murdock, Democrat, of Ari- zona, over the Columbia Broadcast- ing System on the topic, “A Review of Current.Questions Before Con- gress.” Representative Murdock spoke through Columbia’s station for the nation’s capital.) ' As an ex-schogolman, I am natur- ally concerned about certain educa- tional matters. I want to remind "you that this is the one hundred- fiftieth anniversary of the writing of the Constitution of the United States. ‘Congress has created a Ses- quicentennial Commission to cele- brate, on a nation-wide scale, that important piece of statesmanship ‘oe- gun in the year .1787. I am mak- ing it a point to get all of the ma- terial of historic and civic value which I can furnish to the school teachers and civic leaders of Ari- zona_ I hope that other Congress- men are doing the ‘same ‘f-ortheir constituents. Some days ago I was told that .Sol Bloom of New York had’ a few copies of the famous Stuart portrait of, George Washington, which had been prepared to be distributed in . the great nation-wide Washington celebration of 1932. I asked him for two hundred copies, and we sent these Washington portraits to one-teacher schools in Arizona. Perhaps one of the best education features is a little book by Congress- man Sol Bloom, entitled “The Story of the Constitution.” It would be worthwhile for every teacher, minis- ter, lawyer, or civic leader in each community to obtain a copy. In these stirring days when remedial moves are on foot to remodel our government and make it more up to date, we often hear it suggested that we must. pay heed to the ideasof the founders. Every student of Consti- tutional government knows that much error is found in public print and in political discussions now as to what the Constitution, is, and just exact- ly what it provides for, As an ed- ucator, I feel that the present is an unusually important time to revert to the thoughts of the fathers to study the Constitution as they framed it and. intended it to be. Another matter at this moment be- fore the House of Representatives is a measure to commit the United States government to . a, greater share in education. A bill to ap- propriate a vast sum of money out of the federal treasury to be pro- rated among the states on the basis of school population was reported favorably by a Senate committee sev- eral days ago. The House Commit- tee on Education is now having hear- ings on this most important educa- tion bill. One of the great objectives of tour planning is to equalize educational opportunity for all children. In my own State of Arizona, there exist marked extremes of wealth and pov- erty between school districts within 3- given county. We,have sough‘. in . Arizona to remedy that, or at least to mitigate it, by having a part of the total of each school’s support de- rived from a county fund. and still another part derived from a state contribution. By a county fund dis- tributed among the various school districts, the per capita cost per child is equalized among the pupils of that county, and by the state per capita distribution, the revenue per child is equalized to that same extent. We feel more and more that con- ditions now justify the application of that principle to the nation as a whole. So" fundamentally important today is the adequate schooling of our citizenry that it is a matter of great concern to the government of the United States of America to see to it that no section is neglected. I have had a personal acquaintance with thousands of teachers during the past third of a century, and my hope for humanity has been encour- aged, my. vision of the future of this country ‘has been brightened by this contact with the classroom teachers '1‘ues.d.ay. April 6th, i937 -of our land. On the whole, they ex- hibit a fervor and zeal as commend- able as that of missionaries.‘ These teachers are missionaries of enlight- enment. A special committee of the House has been charged with the work of reorganization in the Executive de- partment. Thisis a task so her- culean that it staggers one to think of the immensity of it! Almost anybody can see that econ- omy and business-like administration in the administrative end of the gov- ’ernment demands fixing responsibil- ity, eliminating duplication of efforts, and the prevention of- clashes and the pulling at -cross purposes. The evils to be remedied are apparent, but the remedy is not so simple. I would certainly like to see a simpli- fication of such administration. Thou- ‘sands of my constituents in Arizona are governed from Washington, and many of them are uncertain what the regulations are, for they come under the regulation of several dif- ferent government agencies. Withoiit a doubt, there is as great a need 'for reform and moderniza- tion in the Judicial branch of our government as in the‘Executive branch. It is unfortunate that the President’s proposal concerning the number of Justices on the Supreme Bench has drawn such a fire of crit- icism as to blind the country gener- ‘ally to the other needed reforms in the Judicial branch. "A While there are some features of his suggestion about increasing the personnel of the Supreme Court which I do not think so well of, and . while I should have preferred some- thing else instead, I feel sure many earnest souls are unduly alarmed about the dangers which they see, or think they see, in the President’s propositio_n_ I think, too, that much of the opposition is propaganda, a smoke screen, on the part of a pow- erful few who are pr-ofiting by the status—quo, and want no change in the courts at all. The fathers believed in an inde- pendent Judiciary, and for that rea- son sought to make the Judges as free from human control as it was Ihumanly possible. / But of course _ there is such a thing as too great an indepenclency which might result in the nation's harm, for it is a ques- tion of degree. nix. __‘.~.'L&u¢‘.fi‘cn£..1)‘u.n.«.._.4_..4......_.. , _ I I , signed by the President. Saturday, April 3rd, 1937 In the Declaration of Independ- ence, Jefferson charged that the king of England had “made Judges de- pendent upon his will alone for the tenure of their office and the amount and payment of their salaries." This tended to make puppet judges. Our. fathers established the opposite rule, giving -our Judges a long time ten- ure, and aiming to give them ade- quate and certain compensation which would guarantee their secur- ity, and thus independence. Per- haps it was unfortunate that our Judges were given a life tenure, Many thinking people throughout the entire history have questioned the wisdom of giving Federal Judges a life—time tenure. Perhaps one re- form would be a change in that re- spect, but of course it ought not in fairness to be made to apply to in- cumbents now on the Supreme Court Bench. We have long been taught in our , college classes that a Federal Judge might voluntarily leave the bench. after ten years of service, and have his salary guaranteed for life, but such was not actually the case. Not until last February 10 did Judge Sumner, Chairman of the House Ju- diciary -Committee, get a bill through the House of Representatives assur- ing a Justice bf the Supreme Court that he might retire and not have his salary reduced or taken away from him. This provision had applied to Fed- eral Judges of lower courts for many years, but not Supreme Court J-us- tices, until last month when a law was passed by both Houses and The great problem now is to restore the bal- ance in the National government by making the three departments equal as was originally planned, each hav- ing a check upon the others, to the end that American liberty might be secure, and the will of the Amer- ican people find expression in law and be carried into effect. I think more than one thing should be done with reference to our Su- preme Court. It is not a question of the President’s “packing the court,” but of Congress’ “unpacking it.” Two suggestions are being widely discussed around Washington now—— one that a two-thirds vote of the Su- preme Court membership ought to be The “SPOKEN WORD” required to hold an act of Congress unconstitutional; another that Con- gress should be empowered to over- ride a Judicial veto by a two-thirds vote in both..H»ouses. This latter sug- gestion means that the Supreme Court would be deprived of the final , power to say that a National law was unconstitutional. I do not favor this last proposal, for I believe th-or- oughly in the American Plan! estab- lished by the founders, giving us a tri-partite division of three equal and coordinate branches of government. I want to stick by this American Constitutional plan of the three equal departments, each having checks up- on the other two. That scheme wdfi designed to safe-guar-d our liberties, and that’s the chief reason why we should retain it. You will judge from what I have been saying that my interest lies mainly with the youth of the coun- try, In the recent neutrality meas- ures before us, I did what I could to shape neutrality legislation, with a view of keeping us out «of war, and in doing so, was thinking mostly of my young friends. But for that mat- ter, all that we are doing toward the herculean tasks of reorganization, whether it be in the administrative department, or in the Judicial de- partment of the national government, is done with a view of adapting this government to the needs of a new day that it may serve the generation now coming upon the stage of action as well as our government has served the present and preceding genera- tion. ‘ Earthquake Records Denver.—-Earthquake records for an unbroken stretch of 28 years are in the possession of the seismic sta- tion of Regis College here.

Pot-ter Copyright, 1937,.by ‘Science Service Washington, Apr. 5.———Unfortunate- ly the smoke-belching chimneys of industry denote the return of pros- perity. Not that anyone believes pros- perity as evidenced by renewed in- dustrial activity is unfortunate! only the fuming chimneys. All boo little realized still is the fact that smoke- less chimneys can also be a mark of business and that it is not neces- sary to pollate the air man breathes to earn dollars by manufacturing. Even since soft, or bituminous, coal was discovered on the English seashores where the waves laid bare deposits——a'nd the coal was called sea co~le——_the smoke nuisance has been literally on top of every busy com- munity. - “One of the biggest problems we are facing is the smoke nuisance. Smoke does not have a single sav- ing grace. It is injurious to health: It, is expensive in that it means fuel waste, high laundry bills, defacement of expensive buildings and lessened working capacity. Experts declare that throughout the United States smoke costs each inhabitant $16 an- nuauyi Developed by H. W. S-t. Clair, scientist from the Bureau's labora- tories in Minneapolis, Minn., the precipitation of chimney smoke by sound truly works a seeming mir- acle. In his recent demonstration Mr. St. Clair filled a five-inch dia- meter glass tube with thick white smoke. Then he turned into the tube the sound waves of a high pitched —not of 7,000 vibrations a second. And at once the smoke particles be- gan to cluster in striated levels down the length of the tube and wandered off to the walls and fell to the bottom. ‘SOUND” CD ANTI-SMOKE POLICY Science Service Photos.

Maybe it’s Iron If your coffee and tea are con- sistently black, in spite of the best ‘ cooking efforts, the chances are?'that the water contains iron. Research in water softening at Iowa ‘State College points out some of the disadvantages of iron in wa- ter. Not only does it make coffee and tea black, but it stains fabrics in laundering. It discolors plumbing fixtures and clogs the distribution system. With iron in the water; the city is put to additional expense in flushing out the mains. The incrus- tation makes slower flow, hence loss of pumping efficiency. Water which contains iron has an objectionable taste and odor. Thus, letting the spigot run to get “clean- er” water is waste. The iron in water also causes failure of some home water softening processes. . Contrary to popular notion iron in water is not beneficial to man, is no more of a tonic than a handful of rust. The iron the ‘body needs is found in green fruits and vegetables. The method used in removing iron is a combination of aeration and fil- tration——aeration liberates the gases combined with the iron and the iron is then filtered out. It is said that the water con- sumed each day at State College con- tains 22.4. pounds of iron, removed by the local water treatment plant which embodies the latest ideas in iron removal.

Tuesday, April 6th, 1937 O The “SPOKEN WORD” Newest Invention Improves Human Voice on the Radio By Science Service Washington, April” 5.—Edito-rs edit the news. So far ‘broadcasters, movie and record makers could only audit, not edit, the human voice. Because they could not edit, they cast off singers, actors whose voices don’t stand -the audition test. Hope for the cast-offs; may lie in U. S.Patent No. 2,064,305, just grant- ed to John Hays Hammond, Jr., holder of some 400 patents, son of the famous civil engineer. His latest invention is an electri- cal voice editor. On movie film sound track, or phonograph disc, it records only the most pleasing qualities in the artist’s voice. It suppresses the unpleasant squawks, thereby making a bad voice sound better; possibly ’ good. Main Works o-f the voice editor are a plurality of parallel electrical paths between the microphone and recording instrument. Each path has a filter.which filters out unpleasant qualitieslin the particular type voice for which it is designed. Thus, when broadcasting or re- cording, baritone Smith’s voice would pass through a filter specially de- signed to make. his voice sound pleasant. When songstress Brown started performing before -the micro- phone, the control man would cut out Smith’s filter and switch in the one ' that lbeautifies her voice. These Worms Prefer Death to ‘Jazz? Tokyo-.—Jazz on an old-fashioned phonograph is so bad that even par- asitic grubs commit suicide to get away from it. Such is the some- what bizarre discovery of Dr. Yoshi- masa Yagi, well-known Japanese par- asitologist. Silkworms in Japan are often had- ly afflicted by parasitic larvae, known as “kyochu.” Dr. Yagi discovered that the larvae have a violent dis- like for noise, jazz music included. He put some infested silkworms in a tin can, put the can into the horn of an old—style phonograph, and turned on the loudest jazz record he could get hold of, When he opened the can the parasites had vanished. Annoyed by the jazz, they had sought refuge within the bodies of the silkworms and there met death by suffocation. __M__g:M Lake Lies in Five Layers Leningrad.——Five well-defined lay- ers of water, each different from all the others, have been found in a lake on the Arctic island of Kildin, near the Murmansk coast.

A few days later he was still selling the same spiders—but his price had jumped to a nickel each!

They entered the town at 11:30 and immediately tthrust onward in two directions for Blasquez, to the west, and La Granjuela, a few miles closer to Penarroya. \ In Valsequillo the government troops claim to have captured 30 prisoners and a large stock of war materials. Meanwhile, not only has an Insur-/. gent countevr-attack launched yes-. terday afternoon against the~rest -of that sector, been halted, according to the latest reports reaching Madrid, but the Loyalists countengtttacked in turn today, Rebel attacks caught the Loyalists less than two miles from Ovejo, but their fall is again believed immi- nent. . Franco is believed to be planning a last desperate attack on Maldrid be- fore his revolution disintegrates un- der him. It was reported that Errol Flynn, handsome Irish adventurer-actor-nov- elist, was killed by machine gun fire on the front somewhere south of Ovejo. Deserters are reported leaving the Insurgent armies at the rate of ten a day. They describe the discour- agement that followed the defeat of the Italians with the Insurgents at Guadalajara, which they knew all about. A deserting major said some of them actually -came over with safe- conduct passes stamped and signed by Insurgent officers. Persistent reports continue to fil- ter in regarding the Rebels’ loss of morale, These reports have been substantiated by the words, of offi- cers who describe the ease with which the Loyalists h.ave advanced upon important positions.

ThePresident declared that price b-oosts were not justified’ on the score of wage increases given to labor and said that in some in- stances the increases amounted to two and three times more than ‘wage boosts. Mr. ‘Roosevelt said that the time has come when industry must rec- ognize the importance of thinning out the distribution of national in- come in the upper brackets and spreading it out over the low income groups. The Chief executive added that steel at $6.00 a ton and copper at 17c. a pound was far too high even though the world armament ‘trade has brought increased demand for the metal. The President instructed Govern- ment agencies to cut down on pur- chases of durable goods and turn their attention to buying “consumers goods.” - 'Mr. Roosevelt said, “This has a two-fold ipu'rpose—first, it will re- duce "the demand for steel‘, and sec- - ondly, it will tend to equalize the production of consumers and durable goods. The President said that these pro- duction schedules are dangerously ot of balance with consumer goods running far behind. He added that un- less some move is taken to bring- them into balance a slump can be expected in a year or so. The President announced at the same time that he-will submit his new estimate of Federal receipts and expenditures for the current fiscal year when he -sends his next year's release message to Congress. The message is expected ‘to be ready some time next week. " Congress Prepares for Long Debate On Wagner Labor Act And Other Current Questions Washington, April 5 (FDP).——The interlocking issues of the sit-down strike and the constitutionality of the Wagner Labor Relations Act and the Roosevelt Court Reorganization Bill combined today to prdvide Wasn- ington with a week-end of Expectant tension. I Tomorrow at noon the Senate will resume its debate on the question of expressly condemning the -sit-down strikes as illegal. At -the same hour, the Supreme Court will meet and may announce its judgment on the validity of the Wagner Act, a statute intended to promote collective bargaining and thereby_ prevent industrial» disturb- ances. " This decision is expected to affect the battle over President Roosevelt’s bill to increase the maximum num- ber of judges on the Supreme Court from nine to fifteen. Many hours of savage debate were predicted by Senate leaders before a vote can be reached on the sit-down issue. While agreed thata forthright declaration could be adopted, they were divided as to its form. Since the Supreme Court last week unanimously upheld the Railway Labor Act, which in some aspects is like the Wagner Act, some observers have seen reason to believe that the court will uphold the latter in such instances, at least as are clearly shown to involve interstate com- merce. Five cases testing the Wagner Act are before the court for deci- sion. They range from issues involv- ing a bus company serving several states through the manufacture of steel and other products. .Washington, Apr. 5 (FDP).——The National Economy League petitioned: Congress and President Roosevelt to “make a balanced budgetareality in the fiscal year.” alllIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllu J Kilnggi Tuesday, April 6th,, 1937 Murphy Sees Early Peace in 7{Auto Industry; Kansas City F ord Strike’ Easily Settled Lansing, Mich., Apr, 5 (FDP).—— The Chrysler automobile strike, now a four-week-old youngster, appeared to be on the verge of,,settlement to- night on the ninth day of peace con- ferences in Governor Murphy's -of- fice. 4 \ Adjourning a Sunday session at 6:35 p_.m. until 11 a.m. tomorrow, the Governor declared that an agree- ment was virtually certain and that it would be followed by a prompt settlement of the Hudson and Reo strikes and by a new era of indus- trial good feeling in the auto -centers of Michigan and all over the coun- try. It was learned that while a Chrys- ler settlement might be announced very soon, it was more likely to fol- low the State elections tomorrow. Al- though the conference started on the“ basis of collective bargaining as the only issue, it has been extended to include other issues, thus taking more time, he declared. Before leaving for Detroit, Mr. Murphy said: “There is little doubt that an agree- ment will be reached, but I would not fix tomorrow now. They are doing their best to agree. , Each side wants an agreement, Some funda- mentals and different aspects of the whole controversy are" being dis- cussed in this conference and for this reason it takes some time. I’m very optimistic that before very long they will reach an agreement.” ‘ Meanwhile, in Kansas City, work will be resumed at the Ford Motor Company's plant tomorrow after a ‘one-day sit-down strike following a night of celebration over the fact that Henry Ford had treated with them. Gains claimed by the union in the strike settlement were enumerated in S a mass meeting of Ford workmen by Union leaders. They included: 1. All employees will return to work without discrimination. 2, There will be no future discrimi- nation against Union members. 3. The Union will not coerce work- ersminto joining. 4.

(PAST MIDNIGHT.) One great lesson learned by the Followers of FATHER DIVINE, through this Supreme TEACHER, the DEAN of the Universe, is “The -Conscious Recognition of the EVER- PRESENCE of GOD, and the close adherence to, and ob-servation of the same.” By this application of the FUNDAMENTAL, the Followers im- bibe the Spirit of Honesty, which is manifested in their Words, deeds and actions, and thereby causes them to desire to always be the -same. By so ‘being, they are being lifted to a higher plane of expression, and are inculcating the high Ideals of moral- ity, Which ultimately will bring ‘them into close Fellowship and harmony with their MAKER. Because of this fact, it is always a joy to attend the various RIGHTEOUS GOVERN- MENT Forum Meetings under the Supervision of the Spirit and Guid- ance of FATHER DIVINE, Because of the TRUTH being ex- emplified aby CHRIST in the midst of. the people, the Seed of RIGHT- EoUsNEss causes them to be true and faithful in their respective Call- Zing. In view of this fact, the Meet- ings are always well attended, be- cause the EVER-PRESENCE of GOD is recognized. Thus, it was a great Blessing on Thursday Evening, to the multitude of Followers, in the Newark Extension, when FATHER walked in ‘the Building. A storm of applause rang out loud and long. There were many visitors present, and many Representatives of the Po- litical Field were in attendance, seek- ing the cooperation of FATHER DI- VINE and -the -support of His Fol- lowers in their behalf. _Some of the Representatives were: Hon, Michael P. Duffy, Newark. City -Commissioner; — Hon. Reginald Parnell, Newark City Commissioner; 1 ' Arthur J. Connelly, Candidate for ‘City Commissionerf Mr. John C. Howe, Candidate for City Commissioner; , Mr. Nicholas Albano, Candidate for City Commissioner; Mr_ William N. Unterman, Candi- date for City Commissioner; Mr. Frank A. Boettner, Candidate for City Commissioner; Mr. Roger M. Yancey, Candidate for City Commissioner; Mr.‘ John J. Davis, Candidate for -City Commissioner, There were quite a few remaining Speakers when FATHER arrived, who were given "an opportunity to present their political gifts before GOD and the multitude of Disci- ples. Musical numbers were inter- luded here and there, and the Pro- gram on a whole was most enjoyable, -‘but the glorious climax of the Eve- ning’s Presentation, was the dynamic MESSAGE from the LORD. The same is herewith recorded in consid- eration of the waiting masses. The speeches of the Politicians were splen-did, but whether these pre- election promises and ‘ declarations are substantial and time-proof, re- mains to be seen. One speaker said: “No politician can, or dares to appear before you, and say that he is notfor RIGHTEOUSNESS, that he is against TRUTH; that he is against JUSTICE. No can- didate will come before you, and make those -declarations, but dare any do so on pre-election prom- ises, which are something in the nature of Inter—national Treaties? They are scrapped for the conven- iences of those who make them, and that is the danger in polit- ical campaigns, of having prom- ises from people who will violate- them, after Election, You do not Want that. VVhat you want is someone who ‘will fulfill ‘those promises, and you have no assur- ance that he will fulfill" those promises, unless you know what he has done on similar occasions, when those things confronted him, things that effect people. By his past acts, you may judge his fu- ture acts. Let us look into the past for what a man has done. If his record is clear, if he is right- eous, truthful and just, you need have no fear of his conduct after Election. I I want you to investigate me. My record is an open book, I want you to read it. I do -not Want you to vote for me now. I do not Want you to vote for me until you have made an investi- gation, and if you think I am prejudicial to your views, if I do not do, ladies and gentlemen, what is right, just and true, then do not vote for me; but if you think my ' former conduct has been contrary to anything I have told you, then I stand on what I have done, and you must likewise do the same.’ The application of the Golden Rule? can be applied to you. “Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you,” and I say, a man who sits in a position of author- ity, and does unto others as he i would not have them to do unto him, is un'-just. He is an unjust man, an unrighteous man and a man who should not be placed in a position of authority. You kggw, when you do put a man in p si- tion of authority, as a rule, then his meanness rises to the surface, it is like scum of a frog,” Mr. Nicholas Albano says in part: “PEACE -everybody: You always have PEACE in the PRESENCE of GOD. I am inspired in the PRES- ENCE of FATHER DIVINE tonight. I know you are my people. When I say “my people,” it is because I remember my experience on. the Bench in the Fourth Precinct. _It was not always criminals to see, I'have had fathers, mothers etc., come he- : ..,;T_ - spired ? Tuesday, April 6th, 1937 The “SPOKEN WORD" _ Page 19 fore me. Some of you people who had wayward sons and I tried to bring Peace to them in my little way. I did not consider that my job was merely administering Justice to crim- inals,——-I thought I had a duty to per- form. I thought that in my own little way, I should straighten -out ‘crooked lives, and when a mother , came to me, and told me that her son had taken the wrong path, I tried to bring Peace to that mother. You know I served four years be- fore that in another section Of the -City. I had many wayward fathers and husb-ands come before me, and because I wanted them to continue to -do their duty to their families, I established what was called “my night probation court,” so that they could come to me at night, but dur- ing the day work and support their family, but when I moved in your section of the City, I did not discon- tinue that night court. I -kept it there for you, You know once I helped to give a party to blind chi1dren,——a Christ- mas party to blind children. Can you ‘imagine anything more pathetic than that, and I saw --a little child sitting with her eyes wide -open; -she could not see, and there was a tree, and there was the table, and there were the children primly dressed, but they could not see each other, and I sat beside this little child with her eyes wide open, she could not see. I began to tell her about the tree, and I thought for a moment or two, I was -seeing,——-actually seeing for that child, and after all I was seeing for that child. When the time comes, we must -see for each other, and do for each other,—-and how wonderful it is for you, that even though you were blind, now you can see, and even when you feel helpless, impa- tient and can do nothing for yourself, you know you just cast your eyes upon HIM, and don’t you feel in- Isn’t it a wonderful atmos- phere? Don’t you know that when I was on the Bench, and I had a social problem before me, I could not solve, because ‘men alone cannot solve such, I wished I had FATHER DIVINE be- fore me many times. It is wonder- ful to be here, and to meet you. It is wonderful! I feel the Goodness emanating from FATHER DIVINE. It inspires me, and I know just how nice and clean it must make you feel, I feel that this night is an outstanding night in my -experience; something, I will remember for the rest of my days. I did not come here tonight just as a politician. I wanted to renew acquaintance, be- cause in my night court, I repeat, I do not just have criminals, I had fa- thers, mothers, I had boys and girls who wanted to live straight. So, when I come to you, I do not come expecting to see my class of crimi- nals, but I come to see “my people,” and to meet them, and I say this in your presence and in the PRESENCE of FATHER DIVINE. Remember me as a man who sits, not as a judge, :but as your fellow- citizen, who sits and tries in my «own little way to unscramble you, and make you feel happy again, and so in the Presence of this wonderful In- spiration which you have here, I say to you, “PEACE and GOD'S Speed.” Mr. Reginald Parnell, Commis- sioner says: Thank YOU FATHER:-——Peace my brothers and sisters! Through the Goodness of the FATHER, I came up with you tonight, and through His Goodness, I have been permitted to say, His Spiritual PRESENCE, His Material PRESENCE, and that His Sweetness, and that His Holi- ness, and that His Gloriousness, and that His Goodness is most suflicie-nt to carry on for the whole year, isn't it? That is something that you did not expect; that is something that I did not expect, because only The FA- THER knew that HE was intending to be with us in the PRESENCE, in the BODY, in the PERSON tonight. Through the Goodness of The FA- THER, I have been permitted to read His Beautiful, His FUNDAMENTAL, His “Inspiring PLATFORM for the RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT MOVEMENT, and I see there Learn- ing, and I see there Wisdom, and I see there Inspiration; and I see the learning of education. I see the learning and wisdom of Statesman- ship. I see there throughout it all one great reviving thunderous note, ———the note of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and I see that the FATHER hopes that the day may come, when you and I, and all mankind, may talk the Universal Lang.ua.ge—-a Universal Language. HE has been Sweet enough, and Charitable enough and Humble enough to serve, not preserve especially the American language, not preserve the English language, ‘but a language; and FATHER, as I read Your PLATFORM through, and as I look around me tonight, I see upon the poles -and pillars of this Build- ing, the beautiful Universal language. I see the Word _“PEACE.” The word “PEACE” I see it there in Spanish, and I see it there in Hebrew. I see it there in French, and I see it there in English “PEACE” that is the Universal language, _isn’t it? Then I see and I hear another Universal 1anguage——a language without which you and I are no bet- ter than the animals. I see and I hear the language of Thanks. PEACE and THANKS! Thanks for Peace, and Peace because of Thanks. I was sitting downtown the other day in a restaurant, and I saw a man come in and bow his head in Prayer before he ate. I saw him give thanks. I saw three lads sit- ting at the same table snickering and sneering. The man said: “Lads, what are you laughing at?” “What are you sneering at‘? Don’t you do that?” “No, We don’t «do that,” said the boys, “We don’t do that.” “You "don’t give anybody thanks when you eat?” asked the old man. ' “No!” replied the lads. “What do you do?” asked the old gentleman. “We just eat,” replied the lads. The old man, he was old; he was well advanced in years, but perhaps he spoke with the Grace of the FATHER. Perhaps he taught those young lads a lesson that they will remember a long time to come. He said, “You don't thank anybody when you eat, hey lads?” He said, “I am a farmer, and I have some pigs who do exactly the -same thing,” He said, “They don’t thank anybody, they just eat and grunt.” GOD gave PEACE to the world, did HE not? Man gave war. Man gave strife. Man gave eonflicts. The old Book says: “The lion and the lamb shall lie down together.’ The lion and the lamb lie down together. Only man fights, GOD gives PEACE. A great Sculptor one time created a beautiful work of art. People stood before them in amazement. They stood before them entranced, enraptured. They went to him one time, and said, “Mr. Rodin, how can Page 20 you make such beautiful images?” “How can you make such beautiful works of art?” “Ah!” said he, “It is all Very simple. It is ‘all very simple. I just take a piece of mar- ble; I take the -stone and take my mallet and my chisel and cut off the parts I don’t need; cut off the parts ‘that are not wanted; the parts that *-are not needed, and I leave just beauty behind.” You were made in the Image of GOD,-were you not? In the Image of the ALMIGHTY, but you have not cut off the parts that were not needed. FATHER DI- VINE -did that for you, didn’t HE? The lying parts that were not needed, HE cut them off of you. The steal- ing parts that were not needed, HE cut them off of you. The detestable parts that were not needed, FA- THER DIVINE cut them off of you, and HE left you pure and HE left you Holy, and HE left you changed; ‘HE left you humble, because the rest of the parts were not needed. “The greatest of ‘these, is Love.” The sister is right, “the greatest of these, is Love,” because when the ‘FATHER put Love in your hearts, you could not steal, you could not lie, could you? Because if you steal, you steal from your fellowman; if you lie, you lie to your sister-wo:n- an, and you cannot steal from, and lie to somebody that you love, can you? Two thousand years ago, there was a little Babe came into the world in a Manger in a most humble way of all. The Babe of Love, the Babe of Peace, the Babe of Sweetness, when HE grew up, HE preached Love and Peace, didn’t HE? He taught Love and Peace, didn’t HE?- But what did they do to HIM? They persecuted Him_ They hunted Him, and HE went up and down the high- ways, having no place to lay His ‘Head. Two thousand years ago to- ‘night, they Were getting ready to nail HIM upon the Cross. Over in Rome, there is a beautiful monument there. It is a monument of the ‘Mother of that little Babe, taking ‘her Son down from the ‘Cross, hold- ing HIM in her arms. Thousands of people kneel down before it. The pity, the anguish, the pain, the deli- cate lines of suffering, all of the sweetness, all of the love is there in the monument of the Mother, hold- ing her Son—-her Crucified Son, with The “SPOKEN WORD” blood streaming out of His Wound, holding Him in her arms_ Now that is the monument in stone. I am not thinking of the beauty of the monu- ment. The sculptor didn’t put those things into the stone, they were there. You were stone, were you not, but FATHER DIVINE went to work and brought beauty out, and tonight you are thanking the FATHER, -because the whole community, and I, as a public official know the pieces of ly- ing and stealing are cut off, and in this community FATHER DIVINE has brought PEACE, HOLINESS and GOQDNESS.’ PEACE EVERYBODY: ' (“Peace FATHER DEAR!” re- turned the response of the Angels.) Here we all are, and there I sit and stand;—the common assertion often used, but little understood by the children of men, When I -say, “Here we all are;” I AM speaking into ac- tuality, the reality of the unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Pur- pose, and that purpose is the pur- pose for which I came. It is a privilege to realize as we speak in the unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, we unify ourselves together for one common purpose, to bring about RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE among us", and to cause the earth to be a fit place upon which to live, that mankind might live no longer in sin, in vice and in crime, but that they all might learn the sig- nificance of unifying themselves to- gether for“ RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE. YOUR DUTY TOWARD YOUR FELLOWMEN You have been taught Religion, yea, the whole worl-d of ‘Civilization, they all have been taught Religion, for the purpose of bringing about in the lives of the millions, just what we are now enjoying, ‘but the aver- age person has failed to,observe the ‘ significance of true Religion, as it may be termed. It is not an ex- pression of mere Religiousness, but the act of your duty towards your fellowmen, and your -duty towards your land and your country; that you might express the true Law of the Spirit of.Life_ that was in CHRIST JESUS in words, deeds and actions. fulfilled "through legality, and en- dorsed by it. , it such Tuesday, April 6th, 1937 TAUGHT AND TA_LKED RELIGION Although mankind has failed to observe it; they have taught -and talked of Religion, they have taught you concerning RIGHTEOUSNESS, . TRUTH and JUSTICE, but they fail to observe the significance of it, by bringing themselves into subjection ' through self-denial and consecration, but through My Oondescension, I came, to this Generation in the likeness of any other person, to transmit the Law of the Spirit of Life that was in CHRIST JESUS to the children of men, that they might be Incul- cators and the Reincarnators of the same, that they might learn to le- galize the Law of the Spirit of Life that was in CHRIST JESUS, that you realize through true conversion, in the Light of the Living_ For this cause, we are rejoicing, and we are exceedingly glad to know, “As -a man thinketh in his heart, so is he,” and as he" produces and expresses his thoughts in words, deeds and ac- tions, and causes others to observe , ' -expressions from the thoughts of the hearts and minds be- come to be “contagious” to those with whom they come in contact. For this cause, "there are millions the Universe over, standing for RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, through the transmission of My Spir- it, and through the Recognition of My PRESENCE, by concentration. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS , By Lifting up a standard, millions have endeavored to copy after this Fashion, by producing the Spirit of HONESTY into,——no longer words, but actions. It has long since been said, and I verify the same, “Ac- tions speak louder than words.” Our actuated words of expression must count in this great Conversion, and it is put; forth into expression, when we act our Words into outer expres- sion, by the fulfillment of the Scrip- ture, through reincarnation. The Life of CHRIST as was exemplified in Jesus, was to be a Sample and an Example for all humanity, hence, it must needs ‘be re-exemplified. It must needs be reincarnated as well as being re—inculcated in the hearts and lives of the children of men, that it might be transmittible as it is, and be transmitted that all man- kind might enjoy the fruits of the .v,v‘ ~-'« ‘ -'r>7~v"'.*“~z.-‘W “ -.- 7 --.—\--w.-\—.-~_~e-.~ _.A..._,,,_.._$ ,,,"5,_,. ,__ _ .._. \,.,,.,..-..,.,._.__ ,,..

While men had taught and had talked concerning the‘ different expressions of RIGHTEOUSNESS, a very few of them actually exemplify it, but the exemplification of, RIGHT- EOUSNESS is not sufficient and it is not enough. We must exemplify that of which we stress, it is true, for it to become to be PRACTICAL and PROFITABLE to you, but ex- emplification is not enough,—we must reincarnate it, express it viv- idly in words, deeds and actions, and transmit it to others, by living’Evan- gelically. By so «doing, you,_,_ will cause others to be attracted to it, and as you live it continually, you will become to be the personifica- tion of it, and that is the mystery that cannot be readily understood by the common thinking person, even though they may apparently be in- telligent, apparently it is a matter of impossibility for them to observe the significance of reincarnation, the reincarnation of the Life of CHRIST,‘ ashad been exemplified in Jesus. YOUR DUTY TO PRODUCE LIFE OF YOUR REDEEMER Men say: “I know that My RE- DEEMER liveth,” in the Religions, “for HE live-th in my Soul,” but they do not attempt to personify it, and ‘become to be the person of that Liv- ing Substance within. It is your dis- pensive duty to produce the Life of your REDEEMER in words, deeds and actions, and live it through re- incarnation, until you become to be the Personification of that which you are living. For this cause, the mil- lions have ACCEPTED of RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE. because GOD has actually, through His Condescension personified it, and millions have declared This to be the Personification of HIM’ Who liv- eth forever an-d forever; therefore, those who observe such a version, and adhere to the Teaching, they are changed from that Adamic state of consciousness to the CHRIST Con- ,; I The “SPOKEN WORD” sciousness; they become to be NEW Creatures, in reality; they throw off the cloak of sin, of vice and crime, and they live in the land of the liv- ing, as a standard that I have lifted for them, - WALK UPRIGHTLY IN SIGHT OF GOD Oh! it is a privilege to live in the actual PRESENCE of GOD. These“ My Followers, are not sur- mising GOD as some place in Heav- en geographically, but they are real- izing the actual PRESENCE of GOD. They will not have ‘power some day, but they have power now. Oh! it is a privilege to realize it, “For in My INAME, ye shall cast out ‘the other fellow.’ ” The Spirit of My PRES- ENCE and the PRESENCE of My Spirit can cast out ‘the other fel- low,’ better known by the Religions, ‘the devil,’ and cause the inhabitants «of the earth to walk uprightly in the Sight of GOD and by those that are becoming to -be law-abiding citizens. They had become to be law-abiding citizens before I introduced to them, the significance of qualifying, becom- ing to be law-making citizens. CHANGED FROM NATURE} TO GRACE There should not be a law-maker in the Lower nor the Upper House unless he is first RIGHTEOUS him- self_ My Followers, those who were of the underworld, as well as those who were of the social, intellectual, political and legal worlds were changed from nature to Grace firstly. They were changed from that Adam- ic state of consciousness to the Christ Consciousness. They brought them- selves into subjection to RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, as I had exemplified it. They did away with all weapons of war, and with all acts of dishonesty and in- competence, and made up their minds to go straight in this Life, to the ex- tent that they desired to deal justly between manand-man, and trust in GOD alone. They threw their weap- ons overboard, in the Great South Bay, in and around New York City, in the Hudson River, in the East River, in the Harlem River, and in the different rivers around,——thos_e which they did not -destroy by smashing them up. They said they would study crime no longer. They would live honest: they would be competent and they would be true. .~..-__.-. 4 -»>'—-We -,5; :~ 3- ,1‘, -,';'-.~ ~-"'=.~: " -.-~.'-‘:2’-L" .4" r’ ' ""i:"x;. ‘- ...—‘ Page 21 WALKING AND TALKING WITH GOD What was this? It was the trans- ‘mission of My MESSAGE as afore- stated in the beginning of this sub- ject: “I AM here and yet I AM there.” “Here you alloare, and there I AM: There I sit and here you stand," the transmission of GOD to the children of men, and the trans- lation of the children of men to HIM, as Enoch was translated. What ‘he- came of him 2 It readsf “GOD took him,” does it not? That is why GOD took you all._ changed from vice, from crime and from sin of everykind to RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and endeavored to live it scientifi,cal- * ly and whole-heartedly, ‘then and there,'GOD took you. That is what it is all about.. t" A Allof these millions of Followers the Universe -over have been walk- ing and talking with GOD. They are changed from the Adamic state of consciousness’ -to the "CHRIST Consciousness . psychologically and metaphysically speaking, but speak- ing ordinarily Religiously, they have been changed from nature to Grace. PRODUCING A LAW OF R:-IVGHSTEOUSNESS Oh! it is a privilege to live in the actual PRESENCE of GOD, and ob- serve the mystery‘_of His Unfiold- ment of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and how‘ HE trans- mits it to others, that they might be Partakers of it, and live Evan- gelically whole-heartedrly and "pro- duce a Law of RIGHTEOUSNESSI on the Earth Plane. For this cause, My Followers, millions of them did away with all weapons of destruction; did away with the acts and ‘ways and means for committing crimes, bur- glary, and other such crimes. They did away with all at such that would tend to encourage" them‘ to commit such crimes, that they might be RIGHTEOUS and Soberly and'God- ly in this present world. LAW-ENDORSING . .GIT‘1’zEN.s ’ After they became RIGHTEOUS, Soberly and ’Godly in this present world, the spirit"-of My MIND and the MIND of MY Spirit would not leave ‘them there merely as law-abi_d- ing citizens, but we know definitely, it was essential that such RIGHT- As you were lg. 2 ‘e O Page 22 EOUSNESS should be legalized, and should go in the Higher Courts of our law, that mankind might be judged by the Spirit of GOD, with the Spirit of EQUITY, for that is the only way that men shall be judged, is by the Spirit of GOD on the Righteous minds of the children of men. For this cause I requested My Followers, those who had not been to school, to qualify themselves for registering and voting, and be- come to be law-endorsing citizens and law-making citizens as well _as law- abiding citizens. What profit» would it be for you to be honest, competent and true and obedient to law and order, if we have unjust officials in office, those who will not deal justly between man and man. It would profit you nothing_ They would do you as they did Jesus. They would say, “By our law, ‘they should die,” but by the Spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, as I inculcate it, and reincarnate it in the hearts and lives of millions, men will deal justly and will recognize RIGHTEOUSNESS, and will not evade it, but they will come boldly to the ‘Throne of Grace, and will stand for RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, even above all oppositions. RIGHTEOUSNESS WITH THOSE IN AUTHORITY Oh! it is a privilege to realize it, but as I say, they would continue to say as they did say concerning the CHRIST in the Body called Jesus, “By our law, they should die,” but because of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, since it has been transmitted and reincarnated, we will no longer be obliged to die for RIGHTEOUSNESS’ sake, for RIGHTEOUSNESS shall have access among those who are in authority and those who will not endorse RIGHTEOUSNESS, I shall MOVE them off of the bench. What said they at the time of the ‘Crucifixion? “By our law, He should die.” What said they at the time of the Great Resurrection and the great Renovation ‘and the great Revival among the millions in Jersey? “By our law, HE should go to prison,” That is what they said over here. They said “By our law we shall stop HIM;”—but I declared as said the song of modern times, m._’‘ _L.. ,,_...'_;_, ' V ' ‘ _ .4 The" “SPOKEN WORD” “ ‘The other place’ may rage, And vent her spite, But GOD will save His Heart’s Delight.” The Composition came forth in the early days of Christendom, it said by Composition: “Hell may rage and vent her spite, But GOD will have His Heart’s De- light.” But the transposed ‘version of such an assertion, as we do n-ot accustom ourselves to use that wor-d,—as it carries with it an undesirable, an- tagonistic and conflicting and imper- fect germ of degradation of that which is not desired otherwise. For this cause, I say, “ ‘The other place’ may rage, And vent her spite, But GOD will save His Heart’s Delight.” What said the CHRIST in the Per- son of Jesus ? “Upon this Rock I shall build My Church, and the very gates of ‘the other place’ shall not prevail against it.” THEY DESIRED TO MAKE IT A FELONY The acts of “the other place” at- tempted here in Jersey, as in other states to use the law for the purpose of prosperity against the FUNDA- MENTAL for which I stand, They said, “By our law, One being a man, calling Himself GOD, should be found guilty -of misdemeanor.” They would have liked to have made it, or they desired to make it a felony, if they could, and ‘anyone who would -say concerning a man, he is GOD, they would be guilty of the same offence: “By our law he should die;” but since RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, the qualities, and the Foundation of the KINGDOM of HEAVEN upon the face of the ‘earth, have -been stamped in the minds an-d the hearts an-d lives of some few just and righteous officials, they were willing to take a stand in opposition to such a version, for they knew such a version of the law was not constitutional;——therefore, such a version was abolished, especially concerning ME; for they knew in themselves as well as you do, just what you know of Whom you say I AM. They knew it, but they did Tuesday, April 6th, 1937 not want you to say it. You all know you knew it, and we all -know you knew it, but you did not want them to say it. I do not blame you in a way, but you must commit your- self, for as you desire ME to com- mit MYSELF in the endorsement of you, as an official for the office which you are seeking—you desire ME to commit MYSELF, to endorse you for the office you are seeking, remember, you must commit yourself to EN- DORSE My Followers for the office which I AM filling . , . (Loud Ap- plause.). PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace FATHER DEAR!” shout- ed the throng in response.) “A fair exchange is not robbery.” My Fol- lowers will do whatsoever I bid them do. You will do everything I say do, will you not? (“Yes LORD!” assured the multitude.) Everyone “of My Followers, each of them in Jer- sey, '*shall bring in three or four more this year. Now isn't that won- derful? I shall not use My Influ- ence and My Divine Power, neither My Divine Official Duty, for a self- ish purpose, but I shall use it con- structively jfor RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, for the good of others as well as for ourselves, as individuals; therefore, we request each and everyone -of My Followers to qualify themselves for registering and voting. Be ready to vote when- soever the time comes, but in being ready, know your candidate; know the one who stands for RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH an-d JUSTICE, for I have ‘told you a mystery, such as the preachers oould not tell you. They thought GOD was going to rule in Heaven some place as an Indi- vidual; but I have declared to My Followers: “GOD SHALL RULE on the Throne of the minds of the just and true officials.” That is where Christ REIGNS. PREAOHERS THOUGHT GOD WAS IN HEAVEN 'Now that is a little something, I say, which the preachers could not tell you, because they did not know it themselves. They thought GOD was in Heaven some place, sitting on the Throne, and Jesus at the Right Hand of Him, as a Person, judging the Twelve Tribes of Israel, but what says the Spirit through the mouth of David? GOD revealed it: 7 ...... ~‘.....—-..V,. wt-n._».—.-;~,y.y_ Page" 23 Tuesday, April .6th, 1937 “RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDG- MEET . are the Habitation of His Throne.” When RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE shall have been incul- cated and reincarnated in the judges, the governors and the chief executiv- es of our country, there is where CHRIST shall REIGN and RULE over all mankind. Now if this is not true in‘ your imagination, consult your past experience and the court records ,of all of our courts of law, and see if the officials are not sworn in by the Bible, to do that which is just and right and true; not only so, -‘but you, when you go before the judge, you are sworn in by the Bible, or by the Name of GOD: “So help you GOD.” What is this for? It is, and it was for the purpose of bring- ing about RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE in the act of your duty, as a witness, as an of- ficial, or as a defendant. That is - what it was for; that CHRIST might judge your case, and that you might present CHRIST in the Spirit of TRUTH in all you say and all you do, in that particular case whereso- ever. you are. That is the mystery. Then’I Say: “RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDG- MENT are the Habitation of His Throne.” QUALIFY POLITICALLY When you have a Righteous Judg- ment and a Righteous mind,;through this great Conversion, by being qua- lified legally, and yet Spiritually and Righteously, without violence and without prejudice‘, "GOD as being termed CHRIST, as a RIGHTEOUS JUDGE, shall RULE on the Throne of your mind, and cause you to judge the people with ‘EQUITY. Then I say, because of this, I have in- structed My Followers throughout the Universe, to qualify themselves for registering and voting, qualify " themselves politically for registering and vo-ting and legally, to fill such official duties as may be their lot to fill, and be able to rightly divide the ‘Word of TRUTH, in proving themselves workmen to elect the person and persons who are qualified to fill -the office of their respective, prospective official duties, with EQUALITY, With TRUTH and With _ JUSTICE. The “SPOKEN WORD” Oh! it is a privilege to observe the mystery, ‘but as we live it, and ex- press it scientifically, we may be criticized for living it and expressing it, but the time cometh, and now is at hand, when all just thinking peo- ple will be obliged to be agreeable. They will agree with us, if it is on- ly internally. As I said a little while ago, if they do- not wish to commit -themselves, they know it is true. Oh! it is a privilege_to realize it, and if perchance My Followers act a a little rude when the Speakers are speaking, especially when they speak words concerning ME, in a way to low-rate ME from the way_ I AM rated in your consideration, do not think it strange, for they know their version, and they know the way their rating stands ‘concerning ME. They know such rating is the only Hope of REDEMPTION for them, and they know it is the only Hope of REDEMPTION for you; therefore, they may act volitionally, rudely at times, but forgive them,- their enthusiasm and their devotion for ME has overwhelmed their judg- ment of thinking, and the modesty of their moral training at times; therefore, they may act a little rude unwillingly and unconsciously, for theyspeak and act volitionally by their conscious conviction and reali- zation concerning the mystery. “CONTAGIONIZED” . THE, ATMOSPHERE Dear Ones: let us live in this Light of Understanding continually, and as the last Speaker said, I de- clared years ago, I have harnessed the conscious mentality of humanity. I have harnessed your detestable energy. I have converted it and I have brought it into subjection. I have caused you to live Evangelic- ally, and super-modestly, that that very Spirit of GOD’S PRESENCE might be your portion, and that you might express it in words, deeds and actions; then I say, if I speak no more after the manner of men, in words, as I felt in the beginning it is My duty to refrain from speak- ing; I feel it My du-ty to speak, if not orally, I will speak in actions, and mankind will observe it. They will understand it, for I spoke in the Individual who returned the money as a stranger to the last Speaker. I spoke in an action in him, verifying ‘V. My statementand My Message with wihichtv I“ have “contagionized” the atmosphere, and others will catch it, the same as you have it. My Followers are returning all’ stolen goods daily. They are repay- ing all old bills. Here in this city; there have been thousands and thousands of dollars paid by My Followers and Believers who had never intended to pay the debt. (“It is true!” shouted the Army of witnesses). OUTWARD EXPRESSIONS OF GOD Oh! it is a privilege to realize what true Conversion can do, and what you can do through preach- ing; no longer in words, but in deeds, and in actions. The actuated words of expression, they go much further than what I could tell you, but I will tell you more distinctly in ac- tions continually, by reproducing and repersonifying that of which I AM doing, and that of which I AM say- ing; for I shall cause you to be- come to be the outward Expression of ME; the outward Manifest-o-rs of ME; For this Cause, I have declared: “Here you all are, and there I AM: “There I sit, and here you stand.” ——GOD transmitted to the children of men, that they might be One with . HIM. ' TELLING MANKIND OF G01) IN ACTIONS This audience, and millions of other audiences over.-the Universe, of My Followers, I might say, are liv- ing Examples and Expressions of the Sample and the Example I have shown them. They are reproducing and re-manifesting, not so much in words, but in deeds and in actions, the Spirit of HONESTY, the Spirit of -COMPETENCE, the Spirit of TRUTH, “for he who would steal an egg, would steal an ox,” and I have declared in this last time, “he who would steal an apple, would steal an elephant, if he could get him in his pocket.” Therefore, you must be hon- est in the simple way of expression, ‘in the simple word, but especially in the deed and the action, you must . be honest in it. By so doing, you are expressing ME,_ and you are telling humanity Who I AM better than you can tell them by saying “FATHER DIVINE is GOD,” in words. You are saying it when you are honest. You Page 24 are saying it when you are compet- ent. You are saying it when you are true. You are saying it when you are doing your duty to your fellowmen and to those with whom you come in contact. You are saying it when you are honest, on your job. You are say- ing it when you are honest to your employees. You are saying it when you are honest to your employers. You are saying it when you are honest in your daily official duties. You are telling mankind I AM GOD in reality, since you have come in contact with ME, and are attempt- ing to live Evangelically, according to My Teaching. BE MINDFUL OF STRANGERS Oh! it is a privilege to realize the mystery of GOD’S Actual "PRES- EN=CE. I thought at first I would refrain from speaking, but as you know, you all are so enthusiastic over ME, and so devoted to ME, you are not bothered about hearing any- body else speak; nevertheless, it is My duty to transmit My Privilege and My Pleasure and My Opportun- ity to others, that they might pres- ent themselves, and be blessed by the cooperation of RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and by the endorsement of it. Now isn't that wonderful? Hence, those whom I might endorse, and thosewhom we invite to our different Assemblies, and those who voluntarily come and wish to participate in these De- mons-trations or Meetings, we will show respect for them, so long as they are not antagonistic and con- flicting;———we will endorse them, and encourage them by helping them. That is the mystery, hence, I AM willing to give way and give space at times, that My friends might have an access in this Grace wherein I stand, that you might be able to Righteo-usly judge them even as they judge you when you go before them. While you are judging them, you will also find yourselves quali- fied to endorse them‘ in whatsoever way they should be endorsed. That is why I say, “Be mindful how you entertain strangers, for some have entertained Angels unaware,” but I still say My Friends, My Co-workers and Followers, it is My Duty at ‘times, to refrain from speaking, that I might speak in your actions and The “SPOKEN WORD” g I in your deeds, that all mankind might plainly see just what I AM doing, for you.” ' BLESSED ABOVE THE OTHER FELLOW Now you can speak fro.m hence- forth, now and forever in actions. Let ME speak in your actions. Let ‘ME talk in your deeds. Let ME speak in your emotional expressions of RIGHTEOUSNESS, of TRUTH and of JUSTICE, with the Spirit of EQUITY, even though you may be termed illiterate. If you are called ignorant and illiterate, it should not matter with you, for you know you are Blessed above the other fel- low, when you are endorsed by the ALMIGHTY. Then I say: let us stand firm: substantiated in faith and unshaken in confidence, stand- ing up for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, as I have ex- emplified it, and as I have drafted such as a RIGHTEOUS GOVERN- MENT PLATFORM upon which you should stand, that all these might observe it and see the significance of it, when they do, these too, as well as you, will fall in line.

JAVITS Note.—-Mr, Javits is a lawyer and a recognized authority on the prob- lems of industry and business. His recent book, “The Commonwealth of Industry,” is being widely studied by political and industrial leaders in the present national crisis; his two for- mer books, “Make Everybody Rich, (Industry’s New Goal)” and “Busi- ness and the Public Interest” are rec- ognized as having been important contributions to the present clearer understanding of a proper social or- ganization.—Editor. PART I. The mind of man, weary of uncer- tainty, squalor, disease and hunger, searches constantly for a way to ec- onomic security. Human beings rebel at the continuous war with nature. and life to eke out a mere existence, and the bitterness of the confiicts which this struggle has necessitated is out of all proportion to our ‘de- Sires. Idealism, ‘ldventure, discov- ery, love and service to others are attributes which men consider part of their spiritual birthright. the fierce struggle to tame nature and one another, these are subordi- nated and ruined. The paths to ease and order have pointed out to us by religious, polit- ical and economic leaders, and men honor the names of Plato, Aristotle, Christ, Bacon, Marx and Lenin, be- cause in varied ways they have at- tempted to remedy fundamental wrongs. Mankind has made progress in the solution of some of its political and economic problems, and before our -eyes is the possibility of remedying remaining evils. We in the United States have come to regard political liberty as a commonplace of our ex- istence. We have already fulfilled some of the dreams of political phi- losophers, and we are at present in a position to carry out the aspira- tions of men of spirit toward ease and abundance. *) “The Commonwealth of Industry,” published by Harper and Brothers, 229 pages. But in. frequently been, _ land, An Era of Plenty For the first time in history it is within our power to inaugurate an era of plenty, The frontiers of the world are settled, and vast machin- ery is developed for the exploitation of natural resources. The battle with nature has been won. The preva- lent unrest in all classes of society is born of a realization by men that there is no longer any economic ne- cessity for misery. With a coordi- nated plan an-d program it is more than likely that no one would have to contribute more than twenty to "twenty-five hours’ attendance on the power machine, each week. This is no longer a Utopian promise but a sober estimate based on our knowl- edge of present resources and the potential accomplishment of a people mobilized for a dynamic purpose. After Providence was more or less dethroned from man's economy, the -baron was set"up instead. During the era of feudal economy, men who were practically owned by other men pro- duced for themselves and their mas- ters, After the barons were shorn of their power, that power was con- centrated chiefly in the hands of the kings, as absolute rulers of the state. Me-n had also begun to prod-uce more than they could consume locally or exchange by the primitive means of barter. ‘During the seventeenth cen- tury the world began to develop by means of trading monopolies, such as the East India Company in Eng- -sanctioned and controlled by the government. Previously the ex- plorers and navigators had ripped the veil of terror from the waters of the earth and had found new land with rich ‘resources in the Americas and the East. During the eighteenth century men colonized the far-oif places and de- veloped their stakes in trade, and by the year 1800 they were about ready to begin the conquest of space, and the exploitation on a. wide scale of the natural resources of the earth. In the effort to annihilate space men brought forth the steam engine,- which in turn produced the. steam- Tuesday, April em, 1937 ship and the railroad engine. ‘Simul- taneously, men saw the. opportunity, to distribute products widely if they could be manufactured, and they in- vented as aids for manufacture the open-hearth process, the dynamo and the gasoline engine_ I The Machine Is Man's Liberator Men sometimes look upon the ma-_ chines which they have created as ogre-s which displaced men and ruined their lives. But the -machine, prop- erly used, is man’s means of libera- tion, his inanimate slave. It has produced an industrial civilizati-‘on which has insured a higher standard of living to the masses of mankind than they have ever enjoyed before. But, whatever its achievements may have been to date, the machine lage has not yet begun to fulfill its promise. We are still victims of an economy of scarcity in which millions of people are unable to provide their families with the barest necessities, In the last hundred years, and es- pecially in the last twenty, there has risen around us the framework of a building that houses machinery and undreamed-of power harnessed, to that machinery. Haphazardly built, faulty in some respects, the struc- ture has risen, It is a massive patch-, work of steel, wood, glass and card- board. The framework has cracked because of misplaced stresses and pressures. We have the formidable task of coordinating the parts of our machine economy as well as placing particular machinery in proper rela- tion to other machines. If we afe to have a decent ma- chine civilization, we must learn from the symmetry and coordination which are characteristic -of the ma- chine itself. In such a civilization every person becomes as important a consideration for creation or de- struction as every gear, pin or bolt is in a machine. And it is not‘ex- pecting too much to ask men to treat -themselves and their fellows with as much consideration as they now be- stow on the parts of their machin- ery. We lack only the direction, the organization and the common pur- pose, H,‘ ' Before we can set ourselves to the task of establishing an order under which we can realize the full bene- fits of the machine age, we must seek to understand not only the ~ ->:a..-r*:',~wLvv~.-.*,<**:.-_ __ , .wq.-cue. ..._..._..._......._. ‘ \ F“ .*'~3.?«",.. ‘W. . _ _ H , ».. «.

Tuesday, April 6th, 1937 meaning of an industrial civilization, but the relationship which we as in- dividuals ‘bear to it. Every Ameri- can, including those administering government,» is a cog in the indus- trial machinery. T-he United States "is “united" in the field of economies, which includes management, trade, labor, agriculture and the consumer, just as every American is a mem- ber «of our political United States. But they are two separate and dis- tinct entities as we shall see. When we think of ourselves as citizens of the United States, we think of our- selves as both masters and subjects, but we have been too much accus- tomed to think of ourselves as slaves of the economic -order. “A More Perfect Union” From now on it is essential to re- gard ourselves as economic freemen with the ability to create “a more perfect union,” industrially speaking. We can set up a Commonwealth of Industry which will induce every American to feel that he is as much a citizen of organized industry as he is of political government, Heflwill be as ready to make it serve him as to serve it. It took a bloody Civil War to make the states realize that political union was indivisi-ble. For many years we have been waging an industrial civil war with disastrous results. And at last people show signs of realizing their industrial unity and the need for economic co- ordination. The codes established in industry by the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933, in spite of the political ineptitude with which they were created, showed how far our people were willing to sink personal selfishness to establish a “more per- fect union” in the industrial sphere. Every Man Wants to “Belong” Every man fervently desires to be- long fully to the civilization which surrounds him, provided that civili- zati-on shows evidence of a responsi- bility‘ for him. The fact of “belong- ing” to the 'body economic is impor- tant, because American industry is at the base of American civilization today_ We no longer have strictly political problems, except insofar as our political and economic currents cross and shortcircuit both industry and government. problems are all economic, and not until a united industry in the United Our struggle and_ The “SPOKEN WORD” States ‘succeeds in affording millions of wasted human beings the oppor- tunity to work "again and to live un-" der a higher and higher standard -of living, with confidence in their future security, can we feel that we are making real progress toward achiev- ing happiness for the American peo- ple. A famous thinker once said, “De- mocracy may be described as that frame of mind by virtue of which a people chooses to be collectively for- tunate rather than nationally for- midable.” No matter what political form the endeavor to be “collectively fortunate” may take, one thing is certain, and that is that politics can- not and never will be able to “run” industry. Politics may dominate, in- terfere with or regulate industry, but it is impotent to «operate it. It is natural that this should be so, for politics, at best, is the science of gov- ernment, and at worst, the art of ob- taining personal or party power. Industry Must Be Self-Governing Industry, at best, is the science of production and distribution, and at worst, the craft of obtaining person- al wealth and power, Industry must be self—governing, for "any attempt to operate it by the tactics of pol- itics has always resulted in disas- trous waste in industry and corrup- tion in government. When, for the purposes of personal or party aggran- dizement, industrial plants are forced into the wrong relationship to effi- ciency or production and consump- tion, a great harm is done to a fine ‘possibility. There should be no out- side interference with the abundant production of necessary goods and ‘their general distribution- to the places and people requiring them. For that purpose, industry alone must control, and it must set up its con- trol, not in the forms of political prestige, but in the forms of exact .,efficiency. The profits from its en- deavors must be distributed where they are needed when they are needed. Commerce at Great Democratic Force Commerce is the greatest demo- cratic force known to man. This de- spite the fact that the “progenitors” of our business men are the pirates, the adventurers, the soldiers of for- tune, the “padrones," the conscience- Page 27 less, and remorseless sweaters of la- bor, even the slave trader and slave master, There is nothing which causes closer contact between men and offers greater opportunity for people to know and understand each other than trade. If we can elimi- nate the stress and tension of the industrial competitive era, we shall be on our way to the true industrial ideal: “from each according to his capacity to each according to his needs.” Industrial democracy does not mean a levelling down of human- ity, but an intelligent, just coordi- nation -of its economy. 1' Equality of income is not an es- sential. For thousands of years those 'Iwhose superior craftsmanship gave them enduring satisfaction have ig- ‘nored the petty fact that others have enjoyed more worldly remuneration. 'Pure scientists and fine artists, tech- nicians and expert managers have not even bothered to notice that those who exploited their products have en- joyed great rewards, unless the ex- ploiters have stolen the product with- out any return and thus kept its cre- ator in dire want, as has frequently happened. Leonardo da Vinci never agitated against Lorenzo the Mag- nificent; Einstein does not envy Owen D_ Young. Competent lawyers and capable surgeons do not worry be- cause their clients and patients may be‘ richer than they are, unless they are utterly unable to earn a living by their skill. There are vast num- bers of people whose ambitions are limited to the satisfaction of their ‘immediate needs, who are quite will- ing tc permit others to be richer than themselves. They do want their necessities, their pleasures and above all -security from future want. In this world we require creators and administrators, and no one will suffer so long as every one profits, But before we can hope for indus- trial peace and industrial order, in- dustry, by which we mean every eco- nomic endeavor of man, must be re-, fashioned, so that its_ present em-' phasis on the tactics of war and the methods -of competition is replaced by aims of cooperative coordination. Men and womeunjmust cease to think in terms of their own industry ex- clusively and must learn unconscious- ly to relate that industry to the whole economy. 0 Page 28 The “SPOKEN worm" Tuesday, April 6th, 1937 ' Iiiterstate Cominerée, Commis- sion 50 Yéars Old Washington, April 2_—The Inter- state Commerce Commission cele- brated its fiftieth anniversary on Wednesday of this week with the dis- “Contemptible Business” The day will come when it will be considered as contemptible for one man to get the better of another in a business deal as it is today for a man to break into another’s house, The government will then cease to badger industry, and industry will ‘ cease to try to take advantage of government. The interests of the purchaser will become as important in the eyes of the producer as his own; the interests of the laborer will become as important in the eyes of the employer as his -own. The laborer himself will be turned from a disgruntled lamb into a powerful lion, and both lions, laborer and em- ployer, will stand up together. They will lose nothing but their snarl.

The commission was organized on March 31, 1887, and five days later, on.Apri.1 5, it started to function. The review, prepared under the di- rection of Walter M. .W. Splawn, traced ‘the growth of the commis- sion’s duties, increase in its person- nel, and the record of its achieve- ments through the years. In 1887 there were five commis- sioners and they were charged with the regulation of rail transport in interstate commerce, and where the transportation was partly by rail and partly by water the water carrier also was within 1. C, C. jurisdiction. During that first year there were thirty-eight persons on the payroll. The commission now numbers elev- en members with 2,173 employees, many of them experts and specialists grouped in fifteen bureaus and draw- ing a payroll that totaled about $5,- 745,000. ' Expenditures for the commission during its first twenty years amount- ed to only $5,100,000, or more than $1,000,000 less than the budget for the present fiscal year. Duties of the commission, how- ever, have expanded with the new methods of travel. Instead of hold- ing a restricted jurisdiction over the railroads, the commission's author- ity now includes pipe lines, motor trucks and buses, and, with certain ‘restrictions, carriers by water, and to a limited extent interstate trans- port by air. Congress has before it, or in prep- aration, bills to place complete reg- -‘fulation of air transport, except for ’safety rules, under the I_ C. C. and to give it widest powers over water- borne trafiic on inland and intercoast- al waterways. The Interstate Commerce Com- mission was for a time charged with the regulation of telephone, tele- graph, cable and wireless services, but three years ago the Federal Com- munications Commission was created to take over regulation of these serv- ices.

Dear Brother:— Monto, Queensland, where this is being written, is one of those beauti- ful- «places that suggest dreams of the Edenic Garden and conditions. The town is but ten years old, so all the ho-uses and business places are modern, comparatively spe .7 ing. From the balcony of this hotel one getsapanoramic view ofacircle of low hills, well wooded, an inside fringe of farms and then the town, built on -the central flat. ‘ The colour scheme is one of every shade of green and brown to which the cattle, horses and buildin.gs add life. So rich in promise is this district that within 10 short years the township supports no less than four bakers and as many butchers. There is a good State School here and twenty-four others in the dis- trict. The district has been and still is a paradise for motor-, transport- and power-vehicle sellers. Dairy pro- ducts and timber are the principal wealth of this par-t. Last week six of us motored out to Bunyip Hole in the Three Moon ‘Creek, some 17 miles away, to enjoy a swim. The drive was through really lovely coun- try. The air of the Australian bush always seems perfumed withablend- ing of scents that create a chord of Peace and speak Eternity into the Soul. The seeming sameness of the bush-country, when one looks into it, is really a harmony ~ of a. thousand ‘varieties. The very bush- noises seem to blend. The whisper- ing rustle of the leaves, the screech of the cockatoo parrot, the calls of the other birds, the very silence of the large and small bushdwellers, seem to harmonize and one becomes aware of the Australian '~Bush Sym- phony which some gifted musician will, one day, write as dots on a ‘sheet of white paper; but we, who are not so gifted, call it, to our- selves, the Harmony of the Spheres. While swimming, we watched a young settler, a Scotchman just 26 years old, drive his herd of cows to drink from the same po-ol in which we were swimming. He needed lit- tleppersuasion to strip and enjoy a swim. We learned that he had 60 cows, 45 milking, and a tractor. In good seasons his cream cheque is 50 pounds a month but now, owing to the drought, it has dropped to 15 pounds. During the last three months he hasploughed 600 acres at 12|6 an acre fornothers. With the ai-d of a 6i1-COW milking machine he takes but an hour and a half, twice daily, to milk, separate the cream, and feed the calves and pigs. What a wonderful age! Imagine the time and toil such an amount of labor would have ‘taken before the machine age. Such is the working life of the average successful dairy farmer. To: it, of course, has to he added the home chores, the planting and harvesting and such recreation as he allows himself. Quite recently the films have been showing us “Factory Farming” as it is being carried on in California. I should appreciate a book on that subject if there is one to be sec- ured. It is not so effortless as the Di- vine Way of producing, but it is cer- tainly getting nearer to it. God, God, God, oh that we really knew Him, and, without effort, could re- produce Him as ourselves; sinless, perfect, with never a thought or a desire that was not perfect, holy; Love that is incorruptible, undefiled and eternal, living without effort, producing without effort, just living, and eternally in tune with the In- finite Wholel Ah well; it is on the ~way and it is His business to bring it about so we may be very sure He is doing and will do it. [He desireth not the death of the sinner but rather that he may ‘turn fro-m his wickedness and live, but, best of all, He will put His Spirit in each of us and cause us to walk in His Statutes, so we are sure of Salva- tion. Yes, sure, for it is His job and He never fails. But two days ago’, conversing with a 64-year-old_ man, he told me how he had con- stantly implored God ‘to bring him nearer to ‘Himself, but how God seemed to fail to do so. The same day the man became very drunk. We are all like that, more or less. It is a strange mystery. One reads of FATHER contacting murderers and drunkards and instantly abolishing those undesirable ‘tendencies and de- sires and making of them perfect angels of God on earth and in heav- en, new creatures. If for those, why not for all? Why the delay? It is mysterious. Those who-m FATHER has converted, made into New Crea- tures, had nothing whatever to do with their conversion, it was His work, His spirit alone. Why not all and now? One visualizes the beauty of the Divine ‘Life now being enjoyed co- operatively by FATHER’S immediate millions. It is lovely. One dreams of its rapid e_nv'elopment of the en- tire earth. One sees God at work in high places, causing utterances of resolve on Righteousness, Justice and Truth from the U. S. A. President and others arid one remembers, with joy, FATHER’S promise to have ‘these qualities and characteristics effectively applied in U. S. A. with- in three years and shortly there- after throughout the world. Praise God. » One sees that for Himself and his true and faithful followers, FA- THER has fulfilled the Scripture and has “abolished all authority, rule and power and the enemy death.” Wit- nessing the amazing fact one knows the -Redemption and ‘Salvation of the world is very nigh. Peace, in His name! , Fergus Brown. THE CROSS To me the cross of Christ doth bring Promise of a nobler thing Than race or nationalistic creed. A grander hope inspired the deed Of him who on the cross did die To lift :man’s life to ‘God on high, That man to man should brother be, Each bound to each in sympathy. That Heaven’s blessings all may share ‘ As tokens of God’s loving care. ’Tis this the Christ doth signify As child of God sent from on high. How then shall we due honor show?

Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than material \force, that thoughtslrule the World. —Emerson. ’ If we begin with uncivilized man, we will observe that all he gains for himself comes through physical or material force. He works entirely in the external, fighting and struggling for all that he gets. If we follow him further in his evolution, we will still observethat he works in the external, altho he does not fight or struggle in quite the same way. But he feels that he must make an effort to get what is his; that if he does not, someone will take from him or prevent his getting his own. If he is misu11der- ‘ stood, he must at least explain mat- ters and set things straight, all ef- fort being made to have everything right in the outer world. Even today the majority of men believe in phys= ical or material .force, to the ex- - clusion of the spiritual, or inner force. ‘ In the past we sent our messages by horsemen. Today one man can send messages over the entire world in the shortest possible time simply by using a small instrument: that is a result of spiritual force, thought. The time is coming, has already come to some, when noginstrument is necessary. Each will realize that he is his own battery -and needs no wire for his messages to travel upon. The great man is he who not only believes, but who has come to. ,a realization that all power is within himself, _ that all growth comes through thought first, and as a result of thought, realization. ‘So, in reality, “thoughts rule the world.” When we become conscious of this, we know we can become all that We desire to be, absolutely. ' It is as easy to be great as to be small.-—Emerson. People tell me that it is so. hard for them to give up thinking about themselves and all that is uncom- fortable in their bodies and surround- ings: in other words, that it is easier for, them to be small than great. They tell me that they desire to be happy and well. They think they do but they do not.
