One of the children "was wrestling in his geography les- son with “Po-rpo-ca-ta-rpe-tel.”. He thought that ‘must be the hardest word‘ in the language. “No, ‘that is not the hardest," said one of the older ones"; “There is one much harder.” ' They all set to -guessing, suggest- ingone difficult word after another. The proposer of the riddle set them straight-~“It is not a long word. In ,‘fact it has syllable. Only two letters—lt is ‘N’-—-‘O.’ There will come a time when you will find it very hard to pronounce that word——but it is a good thing to be able to say it‘-when the timecomes.” ’ So lithe question should be ask- ed what are the “eight worst words‘ in the English language people would instantly go searching for them in the vocabularies of.'vice-, crime and blasphemy, But they are not there. May it not be saidthat the eight “worst words"——"worst” in the sense of doing the greatest amount of damage to the bodies, minds and souls of human beings ——a-re these-—-? “I,” “Me,” “My,” “Mine,” "“We,” “‘Us,” “Our, “Ours.” I There‘ you are.

Y., ON FRIDAY EVENING, MAY FIRST, 1936 "A.D.F.‘D_. TIME: 11:25 P.M. ‘ " ‘ A Instead of going to Prayer Meet- ing or some church service‘ on Fri- day night, as is ‘the custom with a great many of the Religious Believ- ers, we found ourselves on our way to the Promised Land, riding in the chariots, which’ the Apostles spoke into the .vehicles would be going to and fro in ‘the land, running without horses. , ‘In theseiluxurious cars, the LORD provided accommodation for His An- gels, consequently, this added much »-to the enjoyment‘ of the trip. The first stop .,was at the Upstate Head- quarters, which is indeed a Palace fit for the KING. ' The house has been freshly painted, and the effect is es- pecially pleasing to the eye. The Ex- tension Dining Hall, is equally as beautiful, with the Brothers’ Quar- ters overhead. From Kingston, we continued our trip to other parts. of the Promised Land, ‘arriving at Stone Ridge in time for Supper, which was prepared and waiting for the LORD and His istaff, or rather, a_ part of His Staff, K who were Blessed to accompany Participating in the "Banquet Feast, were some brothers who had. come. from the City. They were extreme-L ly glad ”o£:this -privi§le,ge_‘,-.}to be:.m’.th§7 ’ of man. Holy PRESENCE of the LORD. They were afforded the most unusual op- portunity of inquiring into problems which concerned‘ them”, and which they had long desired to" seek the" LORD’S Opinion concerning same. 1 7 Grateful expressions were offered to the LORD, and from the question that was asked by the Musical Direc-’ tor and Band=Lea.der, amost surpris- ingly marvelous MESSAGE resulted. The question was to this effect, “FATHER, what about chorus singing? Do YOU oppose it? There have been many references gmade concerning it, and many of the different Followers have re- fused‘ to continue with the Chor- uses, :because they [say that YOU do not approve of it. Is that right FATHER? Would 'YOU please ‘tell me what is Your Opinion FA- THER, that we might know what to do concerning chorus singing? I thank YOU FATHER!” ‘ .- This question,caused the LORD to ‘very fully and very clearly explain in detail the Mystery of the FREE- ,DOM of the Spirit, and why His "Spirit in the various individuals -would rebel at times against the commands, the rules and regulations FATHER further explained that individuals might adhere to the customs and .forms and theories and doctrines of men and Religion, after the versions of them at times, but the policies. of man, and the customs , ofgthem were contrary to theezipres-. I sions of the Spirit, and after an tinge, ‘ spirit. :;vo_ul_.d; no longer; be fbound, \.

Within this MESSAGE also, is a » great Mystery concerning “The Seed ’ Idea and the Germ of Life, and final- ’ ly the EMANCIPATION of all.” From. 1.1.9. other Source can this In- formation be obtained, as these Words are the Words of GOD, directly from HEAVEN. These are Words of Spir- it and Life, proceeding out of the V FOUNT of GOD'S OMNISCIENCE. ‘ _ Not only are these beautiful Words Informing, Instructive and Construc- tive, but they are soothing, restful and pleasing to the mentality and the system of the children of men. They ‘are as a Healing Balm for the body and the Soul, And as they have meant more to us, than it is possible to portray in the human language, we are passing them on to others, through the Courtesy and the Condescension of our LORD, that others‘ may be benefitted and Blessed thereby, even as we have been. THANK YOU SWEET SAVIOUR DIVINE. ’ ' '1.‘ * '9' One or the main things to be sidered is, there are millions following, as I have aforesaid, who were quickened, awakened and con- nected and‘ lifted by MY SPIRIT, and if the Spirit would allow things to 00117, 110W i go in the way the average person would like for it to go, it would be just the same as it is with all of the other churches. It would run into formality, in carnality and lose all of its essence of the Spirit, and the Spiritual Awakening. They would lose all of their inspiration, don't you see? I presume that is just about A the cause of it. It has been on sev- eral occasions that we have had the choir singing and formal meetings, etc., and it worked pretty good. There are other times, it did not work as well as when it did, when it came forth spontaneous. INSPIRATION BY THE. SPIRIT Now the first broadcast we had, when We did. not have any time to prepare hardly, you see, and I did not 1.2-9'-ller about it l1.1!.ti1. W? 36*: al- most ready. we did not have any time. and when I, got in it Personal.- ly to bring it’ about, to cooperate, we ‘brought about this broadcast, and everybody was taken off their feet almost, because it came spontaneous- ily, It was marvelous, but after then, on most of the occasions, it did not come out like it did at that time, when we did not have time to have the custom of training, etc., so I pre- sume that is about the cause of it. I mean the children, with reference to .some of them not caring much about ;the form of meetings of their choir, as they usually have it, although I adoinot bear record of saying defi- -nitely, they could not or should not have it. ~ ' THE (}HUvR)C‘H_]!lS HAVE GROWN COLD If it could be done even systemati- cally, and according to the custom, if it would be by the Spirit, it would .be O. ‘K, but I have often thought of it, if we would allow it to, the whole Movement would go back in- to formality, the same as the major- -ity of the churches are today. You hear the preachers saying, “The churches have grown cold.’_’ They will grow cold, when you check every- body. When the Spirit is moving, and you do this (meaning to try to check a person in the Spirit). the Spirit will go on. The Spirit is the -thing that keeps the Church alive-— so the human’ mind, the human intel- ligence, culture and other expressions of the human intellect, as it may be termed, will bind the people, if the person or persons who are training them, are not Watchful themselves, You will give in to your human in- tellect, your human intelligence, your human training, you see-—wha.t you , know from the mind and not from the Spirit, and therefore, check the bodies at times, which may be mov- ing spontaneously by the Spirit, and the Spirit will cease to function in that individual, You may hold the person, but you will not hold‘ the’ Spirit. SPIRIT CANNOT BE COERCED. You cannot capture the Spirit. You cannot monopolize the, SPi1'it- The Spirit cannot . be coerced into anything, but the bodies can, so it may be all right, andit is all right, if it can be handled with the Spirit of understanding, to be watchful and mindful, even as I do. You see’ I do not bother withthe Spirit. I do not bother with the Spirit Myself, Personally. I do not try to check ,the Spirit. Many times, if» I know ' it is the spirit, I do not bother with ,the person; so that is the idea. I /mean bodies, the real unadulterated Spirit will, yet many times the Spir- it may work through the people, as I said‘ last Evening, it may quicken mortality in an individual, self-ex- niltation and other selfish expressions, and cause them to work according -to their pre—conceived ideas and opin- ions concerning themselves and oth- ers. IKICKING AGAINST THE PRICKS Such an expression may be” criti- cized. If you know definitely it is a selfish expression, a selfish action, by the pre—conceived ideas and opin- ’ ions, you see, but at times, the Spir- it may be working from the Spir- itual Realm, from the unadulterated expression of the Holy Ghost, and a ,person may against the prick, as the Apostle said, see! For‘ this cause at times, I refuse to even act -or speak against the movement or. actions of those who are emotional, or in other Words, expressing in the way of demonstra- tions, at times, but if a person can, or could and would know just defi- nitely how to handle things, it could be worked out by the Spirit, in har- mony with the Spirit. If they would know how to only attempt to check or prohibit anything and everything —-all that which is not according to the Holy spirit, you see, and not en- deavor to try to check or prohibit ‘ that Which is according to the Spirit, it might be all right. I further wish to say in reference _to some of the so-called leaders, es- pecially when I AM Personally ab- sent, out of the immediate Meetings -;—not being on the Stage, they get there, some of them who do not_ have the awakened Spirit in them, of con- !secration or sacrifice, and will try to control others and check.them from the different Compositions, from the emotions and other expressions, from the testimonies, etc. The very ones at times, who have not the Spirit nor the Mind. in harmony with Mine. that one at times, will try to check and rectify and correct others who ‘may be moved by My Spirit spontaneous- ly; so these thoughts are to be con- Tuesday, May 12th, 1936. unthoughtfully kick’ . May: 12th,". 1I_9s‘0; sidered, but as- you say’ in reference to having a choir, it is all. right-, if it can be carried out: scientifically; and yet according to the Spirit, it may be all right, but MY Spirit will rebel. I say that. My Spirit will go along, and after awhile it will rebel, if it finds itself getting handicapped. SEED IDEA. OF‘ LIFE Remember, I havebrought‘ out» the same point on several occasions—— that mystery onseveral occasions, concerning that seed idea of Life, that Germ of Life’ in every seed, eve- ry plant, every egg, or any fertile germ of life, any fertile seed of life —-that germ of life in that fertile seed will crack the shell‘ of limita- tion. It will rebel against itself by nature, that_ which created ' it, and that which holds it in bondage, and will deliver itself, will free itself; and will not be satisfied until ‘it shall have brought deliverance to itself: Every seed‘ of vegetation. that is planted in the ground, it must ger- minate, and that germ of life must come forth into expression, and break the law and rules and regulations of’ that seed. of expression, to ‘bring it- self. to its deliverance, that it might come forth into expression to fulfill its especial mission. Now isn’t that wonderful? (“It’s indeed wonderful!” . exclaimed the I;Iearers.)' TRAN ISFORAMING ' PROCESS . The CHRIST in the Personof JE- SUS, had HE not broken the law, HE would-. have been under the law, and it would have» been a. matter of impossibility for. HIM to have the VICTORY over the law of: self, and those who were under the law. The very egg in itself, the shell should be hard to protect the eggpin itself, to prohibit the egg from- being crushed when it- is set or incubated, andthat shell that protects it, must giveway when the germ of" Life in-than seed, the egg begins to work and devel- ops the egg into a chick, andxwhen it is formed in the fullness through the transforming process, and devel- oped into a. chick, that ‘clficki will pick its way out of that shell of lim- itation, as a‘ visible expression-‘of eve- ry other germ of life in everyseed of all of the- different speciesofd ex- pression—tha.t- germ of life: in each. ‘The "SI'0l£EN.- worm.»- seed of the. different expressions-, must bring itself to its-deliverance, by resistence, by resisting the law -that protected 11:; that law that made lit, that law that created it. indeed wonderful!

Oh! it is a. won- gderful thought. 5 ‘(At this point, one of the Fol- - lowers remarked that it was a Wonderful Blessing to be sitting in the PRESENCE of the LORD, where all was in the large audiences~,.it is not al- ways possible- to hear every Word. that FATHER says. In response FATHER said, continuing the - MESSAGE:) ' Through reiteration, by a constant repetition,,,I. usually give it (as I. tell Miss Sunshine quite. often. Did you write that Miss Sunshine? I give it enough to be understood. If they do not get. it, I usually repeat it. That is why I repeat so often, and at times; I may interject exclamations, etc., and make certain statements, or use certain phrases for the purpose of filling in where the interruptions by the applauses are made. ‘It is indeed wonderful! (The same party who previously spoke, said, “FATHER, I know YOU are EVER PRESENT at all times, but I think it is such a won- derful Blessing to be around YOU, I think the- children who are blessed to be around the PERSON- AL BODY have-such a great priv- ilege.) (FATHER Continuing playfully said, “You see! They do not love ME as much. as the ones who do not be, or. who are not around ME. Do‘ they?” ‘ A. great. exclamation, by way of explanation was made by the real true BODY LOVERS of the LORD.) (FATHER continues the «MES- ~SA;GE.:)' Y ~ Now it issa. saying; but it“ is true, there are hundreds of‘ people who It is- so beautiful and quite as he stated that many times Page o?_ wish they had‘ the opportunity _or the chance to just so much as to sit at. ,MY Table, to come under MY Roof, etc., nevertheless, it is merely a Vere sion, a thought, an idea, whichever, Ifor wheresoever you are, wheresoever ‘you be,‘ I AM there, if you know ME. - ‘ (“Yes FATHER,” remarked the brother, “I know YOU arevthere in the Spirit, but there-is nothing like being around where the BODY is.”) . If I had not been here in New York Personally, would you. all be out here tonight? ' come to New York Personally, would you all be here tonight? (‘No FA- ‘«THER DEAR! No! We would'not’,"‘ {replied tlievAssembly..) Well, it‘ is an «in life. GOD works when no man lean hinder, and HE works mysterie Iously the Work of His Spirit, His Mysteries to the conscious “mentality of the children of men, however, if’ you will work at all times in har- mony with HIM, you will understand, for the Spirit’ will reveal all things. ;Lots of them say, “If I could only (go to New York and sit at FA- THER’S Table once, I would be sat- zisfied," and some ride around in FATHER'S Personal automobiles, as being termed His, under His Personal Jurisdiction, and in His Aeroplanes, and other expressions» of comfort and convenience and accommodation, and .yet may not be as happy‘ as they ’ would be, just to have the pleasure of seeing ME, It is indeed wonder- ful! But retracing My thoughts. and — syours also back to what I aforesaid‘, the seed idea that is implanted in the s Soil of your Soul, every seedidea has a germ of life in it, and that seed idea must give way. to that germ of life which is greater than itself. It ‘may not look like it, but the germ S of life is greater than the seed itself, for without the germ of life- in the seed, that seed could. not germinate. REAL DELIVERANCE 'mmoUGH~ PERSISTENCE The germination must‘ be in the- seed itself for the seed to germinate.- When this seed of life germinates, and that shell of limitation, according to the: seed’s version, there must" be a resistance, -and a persistent resist- ance of that germ of life in that‘ seed idea‘ of whatsoever that‘ seed" \ If I» had never endeavors to free itself from\ Page V F may express,»' to bring itself to its freedom. It must continue to be persistent, with an ambition to over- come by resistence, and free itself and bring to itself, its real deliver- ance. This germ of life in the hearts . and lives of the children of men, every mortal version and every other limited human expression would be - limitations to them. He will ,crack the shell of every mortal, limitation and free himself——that germ of life in it-—that seed of expression, whatsoever that seed of expression may be. Now isn’t that wonderful? . (“Truly wonderful!" remarked the Gathering). You can never free yourself, so long, as you are bound by the versions of men, by their theories and doctrines, ideas and opinions and ways and rules and regulations of them. The seed idea of life in them, or as that expres- sion, or whatsoever expression it may be, the germ of life must free you from that limited expression of that version of that seed idea or opinion.’ ' CRACKING THE SHELL OF MORTAL LIMITATIONS The seed idea or opinion is but the visible expression of that germ of life which.represents you as an in- dividual, to free yourselves from bondage, from that limitation of that particular expression, from that angle of expression. That germ of life. as being termed you, must’ seek its EMANCIPATION, sketch and a reflection of the mys- tery of you, yourselves, getting your deliverance through persistence, by being ambitious to overcome adverse and undesirable conditions, and by cracking the shell of mortal limita- tions, coming out of them FREE and CLEAR. Oh! it is such a privilege to real- ize it. The very Spirit of life with- in, will free each and everything from its bondage of which it was essential to be in, until the time of reformation. As I say, every grain of corn, and every other seed of vegetation will hold that germ of :life in it until the processof life, according to Nature, the Hand of Nature, that germ of life, will en- deavor to free itse-lf from that limi- tation, from the limitation of that seed as an idea’ Every seed of vc~g°- 3.83.‘ 'rhe‘"sroimN wolm” tation, all of the seeds of vegetation, are "but slight sketches and reflec- tions of the Mystery. They are as seed ideas and that idea [must be——— in other words, that idea must free that germ of life in it, that the germ of life by the nature of that idea may bring forth fruit to frui- tion, the same kind of fruit after its own seed, the seed idea that that seed actually is. Now isn't it won- derful! ‘ TIME OF REFORMATION GOD in the midst of you is migh- ty to save, and to bring you to your deliverance, and freedom com- p1etely,'but the seed idea as an in- dividual, according_ to the mortal version, must be cracked as the shell of limitation, and you must get your freedom by persistence. You ‘must ’be persistent in your ambition and in your endeavors to overcome thelimitations of that seed idea, of which was just and good for its purpose, to hold you into subjection, and to also be your protection un- til the time of reformation. When the time of reformation shall have come,, that seed ide-a of expression, what/soever expression it may be, the germinating process must go on within that seed idea to- bring the nature of that seed idea out of it- self that it might produce the fruit of its own kind, according to ,the seed idea that was’ sown. Oh! it is such a privilege to live in the actual PRESENCE of GOD. Bathe your: Souls in the.mysteries of MY LOVE and UNDERSTAND- ING. (An expression from the brother was as follows: “Your LOVE FA- THER, and Your Spirit is as an In- cubator of our Souls.” FATHER remarked, “It is true-.” The brother continuing said, "We must be persistent in every seed idea, and if we do not do that, we must be-persistent to live as YOU teach us FATHER, and we can ever- come all of these things).- FATHER: ' Oh! it is wonderful! I delight in seeing the different seeds, the dif- ferent to, expression, but greater is the unfoldnlentu of that. germ of life in it, when it frees itself from the 1:- § '1 — r , claimed, seed ideas coming forth in-, ‘ .

The very seed itself, I say, will keep you in bondage; Itis = its nature to hold you in bondage, and in limitations, until by nature‘ against nature, that germ of life in " that seed‘ idea of that expression is persistent enough to bring itself to its deliverance, its freedom. It looks as if though it would be working in’ opposition. It is apparently through resistence in opposition. BRINGING FORTH ITSELF T0 FRUITION The average person, and every‘ other conscious thinking animal, of both man and beast, all animals in- cluding mankind, they. regret, or hate to give up that which they have claimed apparently, but by there- sistence, the germ of life, as anex- pression in that which , they have must bring itself to its deliverance, by nature "that ‘seed will try to hold it. .Through’ the shell of that seed, or the housing of that seed will try "to hold it, ‘but "something else greater than the ac- ual shell and the seed itself,‘ must be persistent enough, even over and above all of the resistence of such to overcome it, and free itself from the limitations, then and there, it is capable or qualified to, through the proper protection, after deliverance, ‘to bring forth itself to fruition. Now isn’t that wonderful? ' If a little chicken—a baby chick is pulled out of the shell before the time, before it has its deliverance through Nature itself, that litle chick will be -weak, and most of the time, that little chick will die, or those little chicks will die, so it is with anything‘ else. A grain of corn, if you pull‘ that germ of life out of the grain \of corn when it begins to germinate, before it shall .have de- livered itself through persistence, in opposition to the resistence of the shell “pf, that corn, that com will usually die, you see! It will not usually develop, but give it a chance to go through the process and de- liver itself; so it is with everyone who is born of GOD. ‘All mankind must eventually free himself from every shell of limitation, from” all of the mortal versions under which he is held; tipui his DELIVERANCE comes._ New 1sn’t ithat.

Upon this Foundation,‘ if you stand, as I said today, it would be immaterial to you whether you sink or swim as a person, you would live in the conscious recognition of your real ‘ EMANCIPATION, for you would be free from every limitation -—,firstly, free mentally, and free spiritually, and by being ‘freed men- tally and spiritually, you would be freed physically, even though all earth opposed. Now isn’-t that won- derful? ' Man-kind has a work‘ to do. As ‘a seed idea, the whole human race stands as‘ they stand in mortal con- sciousness, but there is the Germ of Life in them that will begin to ger- minate, as the germ of life in the grain of corn, or any other grain of vegetation, or seed 6? Vegetation, when it goes through the proper cultivation and planting and water- ing, etc., this germ of life.~in that seed will begin to germinate, to free itself,from that limited degree that it might go on its mission to bring other expressions into observation like unto itself. EXPRESSING ANOTHER LIKENESS OF THE IDEA. Now isn't it wonderful, but it looks as if though it should not let go. The seed feels" as if though it should crush down on the germ of life, and hold it within, for it has been there since it began. It feels as though it should remain there, but Mother Nature must pro- duce the necessary protection, that which may be termed cultivation, etc., and moisture and sap, toecause that germ of life to free itself from that angle of expression, from every seed idea as a seed. It is merely an idea. The seed of a watermelon is the seed idea of ‘a watermelon That idea was an idea expressed by _GOD to man, for him to call that, seed as an idea concerning a wa- termelon. The germ of lifein that seed idea.’ concerning that Water-’ \ , The "SPOKEN woRn" melon, must bring itself to its de- liverance, and free itself from the shell of the limitations of that seed idea, that seed opinion concerning_ the watermelon, that it might pro- ’ duce a watermelon in’ the likeness of that seed idea. of that water- .melon in shape and in expression —, andform ‘called the watermelon, but deliverance must come forth before it can bring itself its emancipation, and bring into outer. expression an- other likeness of the idea and opi- nion that that particular shell or form is expressing. SEED IDEAS OF TRUTH , All of these different "expressions of Life, are but the seed ideas of the TRUTH concerning the mys- tery, as it was handed down from the INFINITE in Spirit to the ver- sions of man, that they might un- derstand it as a seed, but by inter- pretation, an Idea and an Opinion concerning that expression. ‘Then the germ of life in it lying" dor- mant, apparently, must -go to work and bring itself to- its deliverance, /and unfold itself until it shall have brought itself to fruition, according I’ .to that seed idea and opinion, be- fore it can produce the fruit of the kind of that idea; and of that opi- nion, which was the seed of it. Now isn’t that wonderful? So under this great scheme of things, you all have declared, GOD ALONE «Si-IALL REIGN. All of our human customs, our plans, rules and regulations, they all must‘ come to an end, and be dethroned and wane, for uni) Himself alone to reign. so long as they are in existence, PER.l<"EC'l‘- ION, the REALITY of that seed idea cannot be delivered, and it will not get its deliverance until such expressions as that seed idea shall have resisted . resisted, and through persistent resistance, that seed, idea of that identical expres- sion of which you are expressing‘ jutifiably shall have been overcome, then the REALITY of that which « you are endeavoring, will come torth . into expression. ‘ GOD-GIVEN ARTISTIC EXIPRESSIONS Now singing, the’ art of singing, and every other artistic expression which GOD-E‘ has ever given you regoyr . , ,.. . through culture and through train- ing, Will come forth into expression, when the seed idea shall have been" relaxed, and the germination of that germ of life in it, shall have access to free itself from the seed idea and opinion, from the shell of limitation, come forth into expression with super-intelligence to be. manifested, to super-intelligently unfold it and manifest it, and express it, and ex- plain it more than any other ex- pression or human imagination could surmise it. That is the mystery. . ALLNESS OF THE ALMIGHTY Oh! it is a privilege. The height of man’s understanding must be re- laxed, with all of his training, and every other expression, for CHRIST to be ACCEPTED and ELECTED and ENTHRONED on the throne of your KING of kings. Then and there, you will see the nothingness of mat- ter, as a_ REALITY, even though matter may be highly cultured, you will see the nothingness of‘ it, and the ALLNESS of the A'LMlGil’l‘Y in expression. The very germina- tion of the germ of the life of that of which you are ex-presing, will bring itself to its deliverance, through your expression, through your mission, through-your calling, through your gifts, through your profession, through your talents a.r.d through your trades‘ and every oth- er expression. * As a shell they are, your trades, your gifts and your talents and professions, even though they may be superintelligent, hu- manly speaking, and ‘may be the very expression of PER'FE‘C:l'lUi. of culture, humanly speaking, the time‘ cometh when they must be relaxed and stilled for the germina- tion of such an expression to take place. in that shell of ex-pression,vto bring out of that shell, the seed idea of it, that real ‘SUBSTANCE, the REAILITY, the INNER MAN, the CHRIST, the LIFE of that which you have been merely re- flecting or exipressing. Now isn’t that wonderful! BE STIIJL AND ALLOW CHRIST T0 ACT , It lies dormant! It must liedor-" mant. It .must be still and allow then and there, 1 will i mind as LORD of lords and ‘ developed — may be expressing. r: . ,8 that OHRIJST to act and speak, al- low that which is your tallfiit, your .gif«t, your calling,’ your profession, your trade, or any other expression of, yourself, which may be termed YOU or yours to be stil1-complete- vly‘, until oH'Rrs_'r HIMSELF by in- spiration, -in the name of that Germ of Life, shall have germinated in that exlpression from your angle, as though -you, yourself, or your pro- vfession or trade was the seed. If it were the seed, the ‘Ger-m of Life . in‘ it, :must -come forth, and -give its deliverance, before we can get the essence of that ‘which you are ac- tually expressing. Now isn‘t that wonderful '3' The art of singing, the art of all of the beauties of Life, artistically in the consciousness of .th’e ‘children ‘of man, all of these different expressions, through artis- tic training and studies, they must some day cease, that that which is in it, might come forth into ex- pression, -for such as that ‘which must cease is merely the seed, the same as a grain of corn. It‘1s not the thing that will be, don't you '.see We are not condemning the seed, the grain of corn. You see the seed must be planted. You plant the grain of corn, but there must corme -a germinating time in the course of that grain of corn, or else that grain will decay and will not produce the fruit of its own kind. It would be good for nothing, but if -that seed which isfan expres- sion of _you, your gift or your call- ing, your profession or your trade to justify these different expres- sions, I AM caning your attention to them.

Y., May 7th, A.D.F.D,.-—At the Community Church, 550’West 110th street, Wed- nesday, evening, May 6th, delegates representing about twelve Youth Groups, met under the auspices of the West—Side ‘Committee of the American Youth Act,_for an inform- al discussion regarding the import- ance of the passage of the Bill--now before Congress—and the necessity of presenting the issue to the public immediately. ’ Mr. Nathan, representative of the Community Church, outlined the American Youth it Act, as follows: The Bill provides employment for all Youth between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five, at a minimum wage of $15.00 weekly, and $3.00 for each dependent; to provide full edu- cational opportunities for high- school, A college and post-graduate students. It will establish a. system of regularaemployment on_ college projects -of an academic nature, pay- ing -the prevailing rate of wages, which must not be less than $25.00 monthly; for high-school students, the minimum is $15.00 monthly. There must be no works project di- rectly or indirectly of a military character, and no compulsory mili- tary training. 7 The cost would be approximately Three and one-half Billion Dollars, and would aid the Five Million Youth requiring assistance. The pre- ‘sent set-up helps only 500,000 indi- viduals. _ , Any taxation necessary to _provide funds for the purpose of this Act ‘ would be levied on inheritance, gifts, and individual corporation, incomes of $5,000 a year or over. 7 During the discussion, it was men- tioned that although President Roosevelt devoted some few remarks to ‘ the Youth question_ .1 in his first ' s_p‘ee"ch,» land “iapparently. -lwas “sym- pathy with those ‘ who hitchhiked from different parts of the country ‘ to the Capital, undergoing many dif- ficulties en route, in an effort to support this Bill, it was considered too expensive, and is "apparently set aside‘ for the time being.——mean- ing, it will probably be another; ‘ iv v . «v\4‘fl , . . -‘shown worm!’ / year before anything can be done about it. Itpwas also stated that even the present aid is going to be discontinued by the Government. Mr. Nathan stated, that in view of‘ these facts, the Youth are asking for more than sympathy; also con- sidering the vast amount of idle money stored in banks, and the heavy taxes levied to handle relief, t it is considered more than reason- able, to put the money to work in helping the Youth to secure work. He appealed "for Democratic rights, believing in Peace, Freedom and Progress. As the majority of the delegates present -at t-heconference were there officially, it was voted to have? a good meeting, meaning a mass meet- ing, with several interesting speak- ers, and a dance, on May 23rd, as a means of raisingtsome funds, and bringing this issue before the public before Congress -adjollrns, prepara- tory to the campaign. A committee was also selected to present the need for immediate ac- tion along these lines, to the atten- tion of the Board of Aldermen, and Congressmen, in an endeavor to" help haste the passing of the Bill. It was also/suggested that a Speak- er from the Corhmunity Church of the Youth Movement, be sent to speak to all organizations represent- ed. Each delegate was asked to re- port back to their organization. The next meeting is arranged for Wed- nesday, May 20. . l ‘ Thank You Father. ’RIGHT on PRIVILEGE! What is panking?

Dear Madam :— _ General Parker 118.3 feqliéstéd me to answer your letter of April 26, ‘19‘36,~ in which you inclosed a Post-Office Money Order for ten ( 10) dollars as reimbursement to the Government for Army goods which you disposed of in 1917 and to inform you that he has forwarded the money ‘order to the Commanding General, Second Corps Area, Governors Island, New York, to be credited to the United States Treasury Department.. The General appreciates the change . in spirit and honesty which prompted you to make restitution to the Gov- ernment, and wishes me’ to express his thanks to you for your action in this matter. Very truly yours, ' J. O. steger, . Colonel, A. G. D., Adjutant General. T A I ' H-ave you come ‘to the Red Sea place in your life, Where, in spite of all you do, There’s no way out, there's no way back, ' There’s no other way but ’ THROUGH?

The term caucus may be»ap- plied to almost any kind of meeting of the members of one party within a limited district. It may include those in acertain precinct, in a, state persons who'have been elected by caucuses or by other means to meet for some definite purpose. We still use the convention method for nomi- nating a presidential candidate, and it is not easy to see how we can get rid of it entirely. But the opinion has become somewhat general, and not without reason, that a caucus or A convention, on account of the small‘ numbers of its members, is too easi- ly handled by political schemers and “wire-pullers.” In order to give the mass of the voters in a party .a fair change to say something about itstnominations, a different plan, known as the direct primary, has now been adopted by most of the .states, although a few have gone back to the old‘ system. A few weeks or months before a ,reg- ular election, a primary election is held, which is conducted by the same officers and in about the same way as the regular election. Persons who wish to be the candi- dates of a/ certain party for office are required ’ to present a petition signed by a certain number of voters, and a party ballot is prepared for each party. This contains the names of all would-be candidates for that ‘party. W'hen the voter arrives, he is given the ballot for the party to which he is supposed to belong, and is allowed to mark his preference for each office. " It cannot be truthfully claimed that all the improvement has come from this method which was hoped for, but at least if the mass of the voters in a party do not get the kind of nominations which they wish, it is nobody’s fault but their own. The direct primary is certainly an impor- tant step toward government by the ‘ P°.°.P1°i‘' . ‘ _ It is. still possible for a person -to A con- _. 7‘ arguments A rations formerly gave ‘ campaign fund's in the hope that the . . The “SPOKEN woun- get his name on the ballot as a can- didate‘ _in most states, even ‘after the primaries. This is done by securing the signatures of a certain number of voters on _a petition or “nomina- tion paper” and entering the contest under some new distinguishing par- ty title. Usually a certain percent of the total vote of a state at the last election is required to secure the placing of a party name on the offi- cial ballot for the next election. Per- sons who have to get their names on the ballot in this way are under a de- cided handicap in running against the candidates of brganized political parties, but they sometimes succeed. THE CAMPAIGN.——When the lead- ing parties have adopted their plat- forms and made their nominations, the race is fairly on. The can ates and other “spell-binders” address pub- lic meeting or “rallies,” and. their words are carried all over the coun- try by radio. Advertisements and newspaperveditorials add their share of advice or argument. It used to be the custom more than now to hold big parades and burn a great deal of red fire and otherwise get the public excited over a party or a candidate, as in the famous “Log Cabin and Hard Cider” campaign of 1840. But with the spreadlof general intelligence it has become more com- mon to use methods more suitable to educated voters, though many of the put forth in a political contest would sound foolish if em- ployed in any other serious business. In every national election and in the majority ‘of state elections, the outcome is determined by the way the independent vote is cast. The particular appeal ,is therefore made to those voters who do some thinking for themselves, and the “regular,” who would vote for‘ a gray ,mule on his own party ticket, is simply urged to come to the polls on election day. Most of the methodsgused by po- litical parties are honest and honor- able, but when the well-wishers of a party contribute M generously to fill its treasury, the temptation is some- times strong to use the party funds ‘. in ways that are questionable or downright dishonest. Large corpo- liberally to party which‘ received their gifts would allow no laws to pass which ‘would hurt the corporations. 1 , Tuesday, my 12th,’ To prevent the dishonest use of money, not only have states passed laws providing heavy penalties ‘for bribery, but there are both state and national acts requiring the publica- tion of the names of contributors to campaign funds, and forbidding a party to accept gifts from corpora- tions. Candidates for office must al- so file statements showing their own / receipts and expenditures. ELECTIONS. — Presidential e1eo- tions are held on the Tuesday after the first Monday of November in leap years Every state except Maine uses that same day of the year vwasfiits election day for state of- ficials. and Congressmen, except oc- casionally when a vacancy is to be filled. In many states elections for ‘ city, county, or other local officers are held separately from state and national elections, either inethe spring or in December, or in alternate years. ;Such an arrangement helps to relieve the evil of mixing state and national politics. There is no general rule governing the time of holding primary elections. Each state set- tles that for itsel-f. ‘ Communities containing‘ more than a few voters are generally divided in- to precincts or election districts. In each district there is usually a judge, with two or more inspectors and bal- lot clerks, chosen the"'voters of the district and ‘representing more than one party. The whole American election system really depends upon the ‘honesty of these small election boards, for if they are too ignorant or corrupt to count the ballots correctly, there isnot much use in holding an election at all. Each party‘may have “watchers” at the polls, who can “challenge” persons whom‘ they sus- pect of not being entitled to vote and require them to prove their right. It is pleasant to- be able to say that “stuffing the ballot box" and other forms of cheating at elections are new, taking the country as a whole, exceptional instances, and are no longer excusedon the ground that anything goes in politics as long as our sidewins. We should not feel‘ on the other hand, that all political Workers can ,. be trusted Without .watching, There are‘ still dishonest men and men‘ who cannot resist temptation. _ ’ The polls are open practically all of election day, although the exact 9 _ _ changed me.

This sometimes is ‘a long and tire- some task, especially’ if there are -many names on the ‘ballot, but if ' voting machines are used, each vote ~is*automatically registered and count- ‘ ed A HEART EILLED AND THRILLED WITH COURAGE Oh for a heart that is filled and thrilled with Courage; a heart that will stand firm even though all Earth ‘ oppose; a heart that will feel the ever-presence of the identical expres- sions you felt in your declaration when you were making your decla- ration through your confessions and through your enthusiasm; feel that -presence ever the same and keep them into operationand in expres- sion, manifesting them to the chil- dren of men Within. , I Then I Say, when individuals as persons turn to be failures, the pro- mises they have been making will stand forever, and the Spirit of En- ' thusiasm and all ofthe other desir- able expressions that you were mani- ‘festing when you made your decla- ration, will go on and‘ on forever and be in those who will be true and _ faithful, and leave youdestitute, as you turn or fail to do your duty. Now isn’t that Wonderful! It is a blessing_ to be, it is a blessing to "live, and a blessing to stand through- out all Eternity. When you can real- ly» stand in this recognition, all vis- ‘ible expressions can return to the nothingness from whence they ap- I parently came, and still the En- deavors and the Works of GOD would be the same. I Thank you.” (THE MIGHTY HILLS! By Liberty Berkshire. Lovely Laurel Canyon, nestling among the tall Hollywood hills is one of those glory spots you read about and often dream about. As I‘ sit at my window looking out over the beautiful hills of GOD'S universe, I realize how wonderful it is to be alive and to be a part of this grand world. The hills in all their splendor, with wonderful glassy roads winding in and around; with houses built‘ against their mighty sides and some_ tower- ing upon their very tops, makes a wonderful and inspiring picture. Apparently eac-h hill with its trees, bright colored flowers, and shrubs growing in a profusion of varied forms is g a separate entity. Yet when one stops to analyze them, we realize they sprung from the same and \ one source—Mother Earth and is, still a part of the whole. Even‘ The usroxnn worm" the flowers and trees are part of that whole growing and flourishing with perfect unconcern as to what the others of like kind are doing on yonder hill. - How akin to man is nature in all her glory, yet apparently how far man has divided himself from his fellow man, forgetting that he sprouts from the same source and is a part of the same great whole, uni- fied with every nation and all man- kind regardless ,,of race, color or creed. ‘ One wonders just how long man’ is going on in his ceaseless effort to separate himself from his brother, just how long he is going to carry that “holier than thou” attitude un- der his belt. Our FATHER made the “world and all there is therein” and he meant for all to‘live his own life on his... own little hill and let his brother live his and yet realize their‘ very noots entwine, in brotherly love and understanding, On the hill right across from my window is a patch of sun flowers. Their lovely bright heads raised in glory to the sun, all unconcerned that on the other hills are tall oak trees and other patches of bright flowers, ' each doing his little bit to glorify the landscape. Does either the oak or the different patches of sunflow- ers envy each other? No! For doesn’t the same sun, the same mois- ture, the same clean fresh air nour- ish them alike? Do they have to stop _and Wonder whether the other is getting more sunshine or more water? Certainly not, for there is no room for envy or petty" jealousy for they know Mother Earth takes care of all alike. How like our own "FATHER whoa lets His blessings flow on all his children regardless. All we have to do is turn our eyes and thoughts to FATHER and accept of those wonderful blessings knowing full well there is abundance for all. Since coming into FATHER and recognizing that wonderful power that flows from him to all mankind, I find so many wonderful and inspir- ing compariosns, in the trees, the flowers and in all living things. It is a‘ privilege to know that power and to try and be a sample of what FATHER is; .1 I < ' 2-" A . S , Pagoplflf Petty feelings of envy, care, divi- sion, all melt away when one sees with the eyes of FATHER. The whole world takes on a rosy glow and life becomes one grand series of events, unfolding boundless blessings ' and indeed a wider and broader out- look on life. It is so wonderful! We don't all have the privilege of living in a cozy house nestling on the side of one of GOD’S hills. Yet we all have the privilege of knowing we spring from the same source and breathe the same air, see the same moon, stars and sun, So wheresoever one may be, lift up your eyes and smile, smile, smile!

D. Nel- son in his introductory address in the ‘Righteous Government Forum held in the Newark, N. J., Extension . last Thursday evening. Included in the packed audience were many representatives of poli- tics, who, during the course of the session were given an opportunity to air their views concerning th/eir ver- sion/of righteous government. There preliminary remarks by re- presentatives of the Children’s Wel- fare and Educational Departments as well as vocal renditions after which the ever-new testimony of Faithful Mary was repeated for the benefit of the visitors. The weekly report of the Research Department was read and was immediately fol- the first of the guest speakers, Mr. Edward ‘Holcomb Terrell, Congressional aspirant from ,East Orange, who in a very inte-r- ' esting address emphasized the dire need for peace. “What we are after is not war,” he stressed, “we all want peace.” Again; ‘‘Peace is what we want and peace is what we are going to get.”.

McMahon of Montclair, seeking re-election to the office of City Commissioner. In his brief talk he ventured to say that “we need in government today as in our homes, and Trut .” At this point Miss Orol Freedom was called upon tospeak and choos- ing “Peace” as the theme, ,_the,,_re- presentative from the »63rd Street Extension remarked: “We say we want peace, well, let’s have peace.” The Hon. Lincoln Adams, also from" Montclair, and another City Commissioner seeking re-election was next. He related some of his official acts during the current p.,te,rm and declared that “we. have known no color, no race and no re- ligion in our departments.” FATHER DIVINE is doing" a marvelous Work in and among the residents of Montclair, he said, and the Follow- ers of the Peace Mission Movement, numbering about four or five hund- red, were the town's best citizens. Another resident of Montclair, Mr. C. B. Flynn, Congressional candidate sai_d that he has no record but he realizes if FATHER DIVINE‘ goes with himfhe will make a ‘record; and that he will put into practice ‘ peace, righteousness, truth and just- ice. Testimonies and songs of praise I were heard throughout the evening until the close of the meeting. Paradeyat Santa Rosa, Cal. Father blessed the International Righteous Government Department of the Oakland Peace Missions to go to Santa Rosa on Sunday, May 3rd, and have a Peace parade. F - ther’s beautiful American flag was leading, carried by an enthusiastic brother who danced all along ' the way, much to the enjoyment of those viewing Father's Peace pa- rade. Another, brot'he=r carried a banner bearing the words, “FATHER is GOD to us at 1414 East 14th Street‘, 'Oa-kland, Calif.” Three‘ hand-some boys followed, then _ six children carrying a large American flag as a float. A-bout 150 marched followed by about twei_ity—four cars, some of them beautiful limousines. One of them bore the beautiful Peace Dove of FATHER DIVINE, also a a representation of the All-[Seeing Eye. ‘The parade made a circuitof the business section of the city with a police escort. , .

Retiring and then arising with the beautiful sun, the Angels join- ed Father early, the next day, for the morning Banquet. During the day, the Angels found many things to entertain themselves with, while Father was busy working with the Secretaries in his Private Office. Although Father may leave the City and go to some of the other ex- tensions, it does not mean to say that His trip is for pleasure, or that His Work is done, for, “Man's work is from sun to sun, but God's Work is never done.” ‘Words are inadequate to express the contents of this Wonderful in-' spiring‘-message so it has been re- corded for the enlightenment of all. Most of the‘ time, the Angels just sat and gazed at the Body of their Lord, while they had the Oppor- tunity to do so, while now and then a song would come forth, then final- ly brother Hunt, started a conver- sation, thanking Father for the .:blessing'~and privilege of being there in Sayville with -HIM, and thank- ing ‘Father for the great blessing of having an understanding. From -lilgisqlast:fstatem,ent,. Father brought forth for the ‘ consideration ;of all, derstood by the children of men "through -all of the different teach- ings, and through Christendom. The message reads as follows: ' YOU -FATHER er -"person. . ‘It is written, “In -all of you!‘ get- ting, Lget Understanding,” of which is ‘worth considering, but one of the great gettings, is the -getting of “Faith,” and putting it into oper- ation. -If you have understanding, you may feel as if though -Faith is unnecessary, saving the Faith you may have in ‘your understanding. Understanding is ‘the same as hu- man intelligence, understanding _, is something for an individual Ito rely upon, but “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Seeing, study- ing and getting so much under- standing or too much understand- ing, you -m-ay understand so well, you may refuse to exercise your Faith at least, therefore you may ‘sum your Faith up in your under- standing instead of summing it up in God. -I hear thousands of -peo- ple say they "Would like to have ~'U.NvDERS'TA“N’DING, -but there are not so ‘many saying they wouldlike to have ‘FAITH, for Faith is anex- pression that they may claim, there- fore the majority of them claim to have Faith. They say, “Oh Ivhave Faith," but you will not find any- body and everybody to say, or in other words, everybody and any- body to say, “I have Understand- ing. 99 FAITH THROUGH -CONCENTRATION ’ , A ‘person would feel embarrassed or feel as if he may embarrass an- other to say openly: “-I don’t have Faith.” It would cause -the person to feel -as if though he is dis-credit- -ing him, if -he doesn't have faith in him. But you can use the word, “I don’t understand,” as a means of -self-justification and also as a means .of,.,. modest ’expr_éssioi§;, tQ§pro- hibit the embarrassinentj-of the oth- Naturally if you were talking with a person especially, your modesty and human intelli- gence would teach you not to open- ly say to the -person, ‘fl don’t be- lieve you,” unless it was ‘somewhat -an argument. “I,gdon?_t understand you, I do not understand you,” is a common phrase used without criticism. So I say, in all of your getting, get FAITIH and substan- tiation in Faith through concentra- tion in the positive direction, that your faith might be unshaken in the positive instead of the nega- tive. ' OREATIN G HARMONY FOR YOURSELF As I was saying the other eve- ning, everybody, they all have some faith and they all have love, but in what direction are they concentrat- ing their love, devotion and faith? Are they concentrating it in the positive or in the negative? If you concentrate your love _and devotion and your faith and "your attention in the negative direction, ‘you Will. create through concentration nega- tion. You have become ‘to be a. creator as your Maker, therefore when you concentrate your faith and attention and devotion in one direction, whatsoever direction you dir-ect your faith and devotion and all - of your attention, you ‘will create the nature and ‘the charac- teristic of that which «you are con- centrating on, and naturally, if you concentrate in the negative direc- tion, you will create for yourself -negation. thoughts and your mind with allot‘ your attention and devotion in the -positive direction, naturally you will create harmony ‘for yourself, and HARMONY IS ‘HEAJVEN. "Now someone may say, ‘tWell it takes understanding to create such an‘ vexpression.”—'Faith is an expression ‘of ignorance, give you a chance ‘to express your- and ignorance, will ‘faith without understanding. By seeking ‘to get an understanding as , the average person has been desir- ing and the ma;jority‘of the people have been contending for, they wi-11 get an understanding at times, but without faith, and thereby cause the faith to be inactive, they have it. _ y, ' If you -concentrate your . ‘your concent—r.a,tion._ Dinncrrnc THOUGHTS IN .POSIT_lVE DIRECTION _ . So wevare directing our thoughts ,and our attention in the positive di- rection through concentration on the positive instead of the negative. I create for Myself Harmony in- stead of limitation and poverty. “Well, how can ‘I direct my faith in the positive direction unless I have an understanding, which is in the positive direction," may be the ‘question. ‘Your answer lies in the faith through self-denial . . . if one .denies himself whole-heartedly, the very denial by nature would direct him in the positive direction, for the desire‘ to direct his attention in the way of self-denial, which is away from himself, it would be di- recting his attention in the positive direction, ‘hence the positive direc- tion would bring harmony, instead of negation. When you take your 'mind off yourself and -selfish things, the things" that concern self, for a self- ish -purpose, you must have your lmind in the positive direction, for there is no other, It is a Wonder- ful privilege. to concentrate in ‘a di- rection -without the consideration of directing and yet you are concen- trating and focusing in a direction without the consideration of direct-' directing directing ing which is. to your thoughts say, and posed to fire ' the shot,» but not at the mark, without consideration, refusing to direct the arrow, the arrow goes to. the thing you would have been aiming at, yet without aiming at the, mark it touches the dart. It is written, “Shoot your ar- row without directing it.” It is the same as broadcasting,‘ . -. . . on the water it shall be seen and gather- ed after many days, . . the,word»s‘ I have spoken, they go out from they will ‘accomplish.

But when you realize the words of God. are Universal, In- finite in Its nature, in their na- ture, undirected in their pursuit, they will accomplish yviierewitii I have sent: them, without directing them to any special place, therefore whatsoever I have said to’ one I have said to all. It is a, privilege to realize, we need not direct Our thoughts in a special direction, we can accomplish more ‘I by so doing. The same as I was saying yester- day; . . . there‘ are many of My fol- lowers or believers no doubt feel as if though I should do something especially for them. If I did or would especially do for‘ th'em,,and direct My especial attention to a special individual or just a limited few individuals, the very expression in itself, it would carry the germs of selfishness and thereby cause others to express it. It is indeed Wonderful! such a recognition or such a con- sideration the‘ very expression in’ it- self carries the germ of selfish- ness, and prohibits the Spirit of My Presence from expressing Univer- sally. _ - EXPRESSINGV SPIRIT OF ABUNDANCE If I would check it,',-and direct it in a special direction, it would not have access to spread ‘itself univer- _sally and be as effective as it is without directing it in some special direction. Talking to the masses yesterday at the dining room table, ‘I thought, the thought of which I am now expressing _ for consider- a_,tion.v If My Work was confined to just a limited few, just a few individuals or just a special group, a special race, creed or color in My Works, that expression in itself would stress an expression of the germs of ‘selfishness and would /cause others to be partakers of it, ('SEL«F‘I:SI-INESuS)'. But as I univer- salizee My Thoughts, unselfishly without consideration, for an indi- vidual person, My espirit and My Presence can and will work Olznni-~ potently and will bless abundantly, ‘$11953? be 111' their ,act1”ia1' Not only so, but with I duty, ex-p~ressin'g the Spirit ofzab dance for the numbers, instead expressing it limitedly for a limit- ed few, the very expression’ in our- selves, . . do, therefore the more, My Spirit .and ~My Presence blesses the more MY blessings will extend, for I have them, I can always bless many more, if others will do the same to receive the blessing and blessings even as these did who have - received the ‘blessings. It's wonder- ful.-to feel so free, to universalize your thoughts, your Words,’ your deeds and your actions, your love and your devotion and your ;atten‘-,_ tion, and yet it should be concen- trated on and centered in and on the positive, but, from iyour actual duty by the Spirit of My Presence, as you - give’ out your,-,:service," it should be directedin the positive di- rection, which would I un-direct- ed in an individual kdirection. GOD'S WISD0lVI IN ITS. IFULLNESS UNNECESSMAR-Y By so doing, youcould and would express more unselfishly. and would express more .Omni»potq1tly, and the very - Omniscience of _ God's Pres- ence could and’ would express scien- tifically, more convincing to others as ~ God unfolds it ‘within, from the different angles of « expression, for if it was only expressed,’ to an in- dividual or through an indvidual or directed to an individual, it would not need much, power to go with it, therefore the Ofmnipotence of God would not need to be‘. expressed in ' Its fullness, just to» a limited few or one individual, neither would it need to express‘ the Omniscience of God, for such, an understanding as would, be expressed ‘in an individual would be sufficient for one individ- ual, therefore his or another’s equ- ivalent,- /would be sufficient,#but the Wisdom of God” coming ‘Omnipotent- ;ly “and Infinitely, why» it would be more than necessary for one individ- ual.‘ Now isn't that Wonderful ?‘ If I only‘ I-express for one individual or :just an individual group, I would -not need the Omnipotence. of— God»- manifested as I -have it ex- pressedin you.

I fdividual ‘ to teach _that individual ' OMNISCIENCE on INFINITE , "But to teach the millions; it is ‘essential for the Omnipotence of to descend upon them. It is the same as food and rainments, comforts and conviences and other - necessary ,__expressions for the com- mon good of the people. If Iwould empress ‘individually or just what we may say, I often use the phrase, “FAMILY-LY," just for a limited lineage, we would not need very much understanding neither would we need very much to supply them with the necessary things that life demands. But as there are millions I , and millions it is essential to put forth into expression, all of God’s Omniscience to meet the masses, for they,;’/ all need it, meet every individual and be able to comprehend with all and give all an understanding, that they might comprehend with Me, it is essential and necessary for Me to put forth into expression the Omniseience of the Infinite. It is Indeed Wonder- ful! Not only so, but the Wealth, ,. . I need all of. those things to meet the demands of millions, but if there was only ‘a limited few, I would not need very much just to Supply a few like you. It is writ- ten, “The Government'is upon 1-ills shoulder.” The , great Universal Mlindsubstance is broad enough to carry them all, hence God’ will ex- press Himself from that angle that He ,might meet their demands and satisfy. every desire. Therefore to bethe Satisfier of every desire, He must be the outward expression of the personificaton of the Omnipo- tence, Omniscience, and the Omni- Iluscience of the Infinite to give Light, to give Understanding, to I give Power and other expressions , for the necessary demands of all. ‘Now isn’t that Wonderful! “Christ is rich and all you need,”you as an expression of an individual, directed to an iiidividuai and yet the iden- tical you, is applicable to each and every ‘individual when another‘ is speaking‘ and directing his thoughts to that i.:1diV.“i'd;12.1,.he!:ce' “ 'r.r~;‘st, is therefore to . lathe «sroxnx worm?’ *' rich and all every individual, needs," all they all need whichever. CHRIST DEGREE 0F EXPRESSION M A Then in, the Christ degree of ex- -pression,” I must bring'.t.hese ex- pressions that would satisfy the needs of every individual, apparent-' ly to fruition. I say apparently to fruition, for .it is an appearance of bringing it to fruition, . . . It is fruition itself, it ‘is the fullness of tbs Abundance itself, it is Perfec- tion itself, ‘but it is an expression that will be unfolded to ‘a. degree as if though it is being brought to fruition or to perfection. As long as an individual can or will depend on any limited expression,‘ that in- dividual one cannot expect ‘to get t-he fullness of the abundance, for that individual has not extremiaited himself, but when that individual extremiates himself, ‘as far as all things areconcerned, then that in- dividual can get the abundance of the fullness from. the “Infinite, for .he is not depending on the limited. Bibles and hymn boo-ks and all such expressions are closed and not even so much in our consciousness. By getting them not only out of Our possession’ for the purpose of ser-' vice, but getting t.-he-m out of our consciousness directly and giving the, Spirit chance to spea4k‘spontaneous- ly and act upon the impulse of the moment and move vo1unt'aril—'y. The Spirit then and there as It has been, will continue to‘ bring into consideration and into outer ex- pression everything that i-s necessary for the information of the conscious mentality, not only. for the infor- mation of the spirit and that which is within, but for the conscious mentality, “Christ is rich and all IT needs." Of course from time to time the Christ consciousness ‘will use the ‘mentality of humanity, as a plumber uses his tools, and as the brick mason uses his bricks, so will God use the energy and mentality of thec'hildren;ofj men for the bund- ing of His Own Kingdom, for the redemption of‘ all mankind. It Is Indeed Wonderful! THIS GREAT AWiAKENING! TESTIMONY up 1 HUNT Mr. Hunt, who 3;-2-as one ofthe guests‘ at the Banquet Table,-. testified of «his appreciation for being there with the Personal Body and hearing the Wonder- ful Message. His Testimony in part before Father spoke again, was as follows: “I have express- ed the desire to do YOUR Will Father, and I want to extrem- iate myself completely and I wzint to be in YOUR Hands in- stantaneously in any Way You want to use me, or do some- thing with me right this minute, I have absolutely nothing right now whatever. I want to com- pletely whole-hearted-ly do YOUR Will, here I a,m just an individ- «ual right here, however You can use me, send me away some place or give me a job some place, right now- I want You to use me any way, . in the positig direction, I want to get all selfishness and everything else out. I want to ‘give YOFU this body right this minute. I am sincere within myself to do ‘YOUR WILL.” FATHER continues: It Is Wonderful I have often!re- iterated in other words, repeated from time to time, the composition of one of Christianity’s songs. I heard them say, “I am Til-IINE OH LORD, I have heard Thy’ Voice, and it «told Thy Love to me, but I long to rise in Thine Arms of Faith, and be closer drawn. to Thee.” “Draw me nearer, nearer Blessed Lord,” etc. and so on, but not only to be drawn nearer, “Consecrate me now to Thy Service LORD, by Thy pow- er of Grace Divine, let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, and my Will‘ be lost in THINE.” LOST IN THE WILL OF (ion . When your will is lost in the Will of God's, God’s Will, will be lost in you and your identity will be lost. That is the mystery! You lose your identity completely, may make an expression of that which is termed an’ identity in the Infinite and in the new expressions of things, for, “He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second,” and He said,“ Put off the old man with all of his deeds.” Therefore by ‘putting-— off the old, '_ although you ‘ ' as a person, " be brought to the surface. the Christ concealv - so .’ m . . . When it is expressed fromethatr angle of expression, it will‘ -be aide-I man, and‘ by putting on the new man, the new, expression may re- veal the spiritual revelation of a new dispensation for the individual that that individual might be the» e-xpresser of Christ in a new personality. THE. BERSONIFICATION on -BERFECTICN ‘The outward. expression, of the personification of perfection, when this .- shall. have been establishedin an, individual and that individual ' shallyhave fully lost his or her ident- ity completely -and the Will of God is done in them, then and there the re-action. of the ‘impersonal life of the individual will be developed. in,- to an expression commonly known as “PERSONALITY.” Hence you may express from the spiritual ex- pression, an expression that is com- monly known as a personality. Now I have heard some say concerning ME, “He has a personality.” , It is an expression commonly known as a “PERSONALITY,” because Ihave personified that degree of expression of which I have stressed so vividly. Whatsoever you vividly stress in your: individuality and: manifest it in your consciousness, vividly, you tend to, bring; it into- outer expression in your likeness commonly known as. your “Personality.’ When your ex- pressions are truly and wholly con- verted that which would be your ex‘- pressions will be the expressions of the Christ, from the Christ Con- sciousness; hence your expressions from the, old realm, will be lost in the Infinite and your life hid with Christ in God, but God willgi-v’e you other expressions that you might ex- press, and these expressions will be 'commonly known as your personal- ity. _ ./ .

They thinking concerning that which they desire, that which they are stand- ing in the need of, can bring it in- to expression; but by refusing to think about it, by merely thinking in the positive direction, without di- recting your thought to that parti- cular kilessing, it will bring it into exspression automatically. “Take no thoughts for yourselves.” It did not say, “Do not take positive thoughts,” but do not take any thoughts for yourselves, therefore realize your conscious mentality, your pre—.man- ner of t-hinking, immediately through the relaxation of your ~pre-manner of thinking, selfish-ly, by merely thinking in the positive direction and thinking positively, you will bring into outer expression that which you have been seeking, ‘. .' . you don't need to seek it now, it is waiting for you. It is Wonderful! INFINITENESS OF GOD’S MAGNETIONESS Just stop thinking about it, and stop seeking it, and think in the positive direction and think positive thoughts, but not about that, get a your mind off of it. Oh it is Won- derful! You find people trying to make « demonstrations,~—-Me'taphy- sicians and other teachers of truth etc. trying. to make demonstrations by thinking something into existence ' What are you thinking about it for, . . . to keep it away from you?

Without the slightest thought on the thing that life may dem.and,ap- parently with the positive thoughts directed in the positive direction, unselfishly, will create an atmos- phere of the Infiniteness of God’s Magneticness, and through this at- mosphere the desirable thing will be -attracted.

The ‘positive thoughts di- rected in the positive direction will create an harmonious atmosphere and positive expressions will come forth through the harmonious at- mosphere and will_ actually mater- ialize themselves, that’ you might enjoy those things from the spirit- ual realm and from the mental plane, down on the material plane, even, as it was Jesus the Per- son, as an open expression when He came. The Body called Jesus came as a. materialized open expression, convincing humanity that therevisa. reality in true spiritual materiality, for He materialized Himself that you might realize that which was‘ Spirit and merely Mind and Spirit alone, could be materialized and be personified, for this cause allshould rejoice and be exceedingly glad to realize Christ came in the FLESH. Now isn’t that Wonderful! THE GREAT CONDESOENSION If Christ had not come in the Page 21 flesh, no flesh could be saved, but for the Elects’ sake, the'condescen- sion of Christ and of God was the great condescension to come in the FLESH and be in the likeness of sinful flesh. That was a‘grea.t con- descension, and by so doing, it has given mankind the chance and ac- cess in this Grace wherein I stand, that they might be redeemed from among men and not be defiled with woman. Oh it is a privilege to realize it, just to realize it, it is a ‘privilege, but to materialize it is the great expression, when you'be—. come to be the personification of the words I have spoken. For the word was made FLESH, and words I am speaking now shall be made FLESH as they are re-incarnated, they shall be re-produced and brought to fruition and they shall be personified, made flesh and real- - ized by the conscious minds of men in the FLESH. Oh it is a glorious ’-privilege! LET GO AND . V LET GOD ,., If there is such joy in under- standing, it is well worth consider- ing, but since I believe you have not found it nor can find it, other than in this recognition, you should rejoice in it. Oh it isaprivilege just to think vividly in this direction you feel it, just to think vividly in the positive direction without di- recting your -thoughts or your mind on what you desire, but forgetting all about it, by thinking in the positive direction without con- sideration, you will find all of those things will come forth into expres- sion as you let go and let God bring‘ them. Oh it is Wonderful! VICTORY OVER EVERYTHING ADVERSE Positive thinking brings positive results, but” it doesn't say by think- ing positively on the object you are seeking or would desire, but by thinking positive thoughts, the very P0Sit_iVe thinking will bring the posi- tive results. From henceforth, inan- kind shall realize God through His condescension to come in the flesh has made it possible to have VIC- TORY over death and victory 'over everything else that may be adverse. You are. Happy because God is, you are Healthy because God is, If God Page 22 »was merely in the mental and spir- itual realms 'or regions, you could and would be merely happy in spirit or in mind, but your body would be left behind. But because I brought them along when I came, SPIRIT, BODY AND MIND, all can and will be redeemed, you will accept of the message whole-heartedly, SPIRIT, SOUL, MIND and BODY. Now isn’t‘ that Wonderful! That is the pri- vilege! Your very physical system should produce and bring to fruition apparently the desirableness of the desirable, for through your concen- tration on the positive in the posi- tive direction and directing your mind and your PRAYERFUL ATTEN- TION, it is obliged to bring into your own experience and in your ex- periences the Spirit and Life of that ONE on whom you are concentrat- ing. Through concentration you will attract Him, you Will draw the Na- ture, the Characteristics of your Maker‘ and all of His Expressions will come forth as you let go the mortal version and let God dwell in you. , I thank you. ‘ The Eight Worst Words (Continued from page 3.) That nonsense verse used to be quoted as typical of some brands of malke--believe religion. But the accuracy» of the quotation was too exact to be funny. Bless ME, bless MY Family, MY denomination, MY community, MY race, MY nation!!! ‘The strangest part of all this is that so many of these words have been engrained into our conscious- ness as though they stood for vir- tues. Take that word, “Loyalty." What does it mean? It has meant loyalty to my family, My clan, my nation. And the results of that false stan- dard of _duty has led to such_hor— rors as the “feuds” of some South- ern states, as it still leads thou- sands ‘of otherwise soberminded, right-thinking, well—meaning young men to go to war. To whom is it your duty to be loyal? Jesus “Why is my mother, my sister, my brother?” “Why is my neighbor?” “Why is my fe1low—citizen?” vI~Ie tecognized no llmi't2.tior." to made that clear— I The ' “SPOKEN WORD” His interest, His love, His tender. compassion and helpfulness. Not the‘ limited household at Nazareth. where He had been reared. Not the village. He does seem to have had a special'yea.rning over Jerusalem —City of David, City of Jehovah—— “Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem-—-thou that killest the prophets and sltonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children under wings, as a hen gathered her brood, but ye would not—~”’ But all through the Story are those wider visions. It was the last lost sheep He was after—“Other sheep have I,” said He, “who are not of this fold——Them also must I bring, and there shall be one fold-— and one Shepherd.” And then the all-inclusive invitation——“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy- laden—and I will give you rest.” “If any man thirst, yet him come unto Me.” Peter was told vividly again after Pentecost in the vision that Christ’s Gospel of .Salva.«tion was for all men not for Jews alone. Paul carried on. Saints, evangelists, mission- aries, carried the Divine Fire. John Wesley said, “The world is my parish." Even the highly unortho- dox Thomas Paine, disliking the Gospel but swayed by it, declared “‘The world is my country" Thomas Mlott Osborne, the great prison reformer, used to explain his principle and method by saying that every criminal knew what Loyalty meant. He was loyal to his gang; that was his code of conduct, his religion. He was friend of his pals and enemy of the world. Os-born said when a prisoner came ‘to Sing Sing, he was surprised to find that everybody was friendly. Even the guards. His “gang" grew larger. Soon he took even the Warden in. He found that he, ‘too, belonged to his g-ang. Gradually the sense grew that even Society was not his enemy but his friend. Then the man was “saved" for Society. He had no _ enemies. (Incidentally if police officers came nearer to that spirit of Os- borne, and of Lawes, there would be less need of policemen.) .Edw'i_ii Markhani, beloved Amer- Tuesday, May 12th, 1936. ican poet, -has summoned it up in this simple quatrain—— ‘ “He drew a circle that s-hut me out— Heretic, rebel, a. thing to flout. . But Love and I had the Wit to win— We drew a circle that took him in.” Yes, the obliteration of the per sonal interest would solve the prob- lems of strife. It would solve the problem of poverty—for if everyone were thinking about the Awelfare of all the rest, there would 'be super- abundance for all‘. But does not that obliteration of the self-life. solve also every con- ceivable problem of sorrow ‘and pain What is sorrow? What is pain? It is something that hurts ME, isn't it. Well, then, if I can get rid of ME, I am automatically rid of all ‘pain and all sorrow——am I not? So we arrive at last at the ma- jesty, the sublimity, the unanswer- able rightness of Father Divine’s message, of His call, of His Plan and Punpose for mankind in these las-t days. ’ He, too, repeats the invitation that was made through the lips of Jesus. “Come-—but to get to Me, you «must forsake Self. Cancel all these abnoxious words——“I, me my, mine, we, us, our, ours." Youwould like to be free from sin, and from pain, and from sorrow, and from death? All right, get rid of self and you are automatically rid of all these things. ‘Really, it is an excellent bargain. You lose nothing that is Worth saving, and you gain everything that is worth having. “Trade your little family,” He says, "for the big family of world brotherhood—you’ll never know what l‘ove is till you love every- body. Trade your nation, be it big or little, for citizenship in the Uni- versal Heavenly Kingdom. Trade your little self that has causedyou so much trouble and has led you in- to so much sin for My Spirit that will set “you free foreverf’ . 1 I : If bi aruesay, May 12th, 1936. -—-'fi _I_ Pass. it On PEACE Pass along the invitation Pass along “The Spoken Word.” Pass IT on, Pass’ IT on. Let them know that twenty-two mil- lion ‘ People cannot be wrong». Pass IT on, Pass IT on. Chorus : ‘Pass along the invitation Pass along ‘The -Spoken Word’-’ Until every tribe and Nation Shall have heard of Father’ Divine. We thank you Father for the har- mony and courtesy of the dear ones who receive the “Spoken Word.” They realize that there is a Divine Power behind this movement. They are taking it seriously,——'for GOD IS HERE IN A BODILY FORM AND HE IS HERE TO STAY. This is just one occurence among many: Aftera“Spoken Word” was given to a Police official’ he gave his praises and opinion of-’ the activ- ities of Father Divine God Almighty in every walk of life. He spoke of N’. Y. C. and the world at large, how it has changed since Father came on the scene. He said: “These parts of the World have become a heaven to live in and the houses that Father Divine followers live in are so quiet. It puts" me in mind of a church. They need no police protection ,and if this conti- nues all». the police will have to do is to direct traffic, or have no jobs.” Isn't that just what Father Divine says? - He further stated that if.through' this teaching one could be made to change his or her ways and live re- spectable, honest and practical lives, _‘then Father Divine must\ be God Almighty. He referred_ to the peace- ful demonstrations of the Commu- enist movement during the past two years since Father has participated with them. He also spoke of therespect given Father Divine’s followers. because ‘they practice what they preach -and they are patterns and. examples of Father Divine’s. teachings and. the whole. world would be better if they would do likewise. This is the most wonderful, thing that has been. on earth since the time of Jesus Christ. He also -stated that‘ the whole 13‘ ‘The “SPOKEN WORD” world needs love and Father. Some know who Father. is‘ but- do. not de- sire to live right. That is why they will not acknowledge this Principle, but they will sooner or later. Neither the churches or preachers ever did what Father is doing for the- whole world and some evening this Police- man intends to go to a Righteous .Government Forum and learn more of. this-. Father we thank you for the many blessings to all mankind and hasten the time when all men will call THEE blessed. I Thank You Father. H. M.
