FATHER DIVINE’S MESSAGE AT THE
BANQUET TABLE, 20 WEST 115TH
STREET, NEW YORK CITY, MON-
DAY, NOVEMBER 5., 19345 1:30 P. M.

Recognizing the existence of a new and
amazingly powerful Factor in the Political
situation, expressed in Father Divine’s Con-
trol over the masses, a steady stream of
statesmen, doctors, lawyers, Senators, Rep-
resentatives, and politicians of every political
affiliation had made its way to Father’s New
York City Headquarters, within recent

weeks, to gain His Support.

That His Influence is not limited to New
York State, has also been recognized, since
it is well known and has been publicly de-
clared in other States, even to far away
California, that Candidates for_Office, even
to that of Governor, have requested and
received Father’s Support. It is equally well
known, also that this has been a free gift,’ for
which all compensation has been refused.

One of the last-moment arrivals at Fath-
er’s Headquarters, Monday Morning, Nov.
5th, was a candidate for State Senator on
the Republican Ticket, Mr. Walter A. Guest,
who after being conducted by Father to the

“Banquet Table and introduced to the great

Throng that filled the Banquet Hall, said
that he recognized the Power in the Name
Divine, and made an appeal in a few words.
for votes.

Speaking in support of the candidate, was
Mr. George W. Harris, former New York
-and editor of the New York
Weekly News, one of Father’s Followers in
the Political world, who spoke in part as
follows: ‘

“Peace Father, and Senator Guest. It is
a privilege for me to again be in the Pres-
ence of Father Divine, and especially, Sen-
ator, on an occasion when you, a young man,
are coming to seek the suffrage of the peo-
ple. On another occasion about a year ago,
we had the privilege of introducing the com-
ing Mayor of New York City, Mr.,LaGuar-
dia. ‘At that time he promised Father, ‘I

~

will follow'you,’—maybe with some reserva-
tions,—but to Father Divine he owes his
election, and if he will proceed in that Spirit,
New York City will be saved, and the people
will be progressed.” ,

“We‘may”'circle all we please, but the
World ‘must come now, as it faces discord,
and aswe turn again almost toward the dark
Age's,——iit must turn to the Spirit of Father
Divine. Father, since these Messages of
Yours have been going out in the Paper, it
maybe ofinterest, particularly to the Sena-
tor, to know that this morning we received
in our office, 24 subscriptions from the F01-
lowers of Father-Divine in Sidney, Austra-
lia.” ‘

“This has¥been‘a privilege, to say a word,
and as an older Politician, Senator, andone
who hasbeenr through"the'mi1l, one who
knows something-iab’out, it,-‘ I have come to
the coniclusionithat there is '-no other way———
but Father Divine.” . ' 5

Mr. Harrisconcluded by introducing two
other political ‘friends’ who accompanied him,
Mr. Eaton, "president" of the World’s
Alliance, whom he said was leaving that af-
ternoon to visit President Roosevelt, and
a well-known athlete. After Mr. Eaton had
made an impressive address in which he
said "he had never felt the, Presence of GOD
more effectively, Father Spoke Personally,
as follows: ’

“PEACE EVERYBODY! Here you are
and there I am again,—Whatsoever' that
means! (‘GOD,’ shouted the Throng.)
There I sit, and here you stand,—the real
transmission of GOD to man, that all might
understand, there is a Reality in_the Ever-
presence of GOD, and not something merely
imaginary, for GOD is at hand. It is in-
deed Wonderful! While the Speaker before
the last was speaking in reference to the

universal Brotherhood of man and the con— .

scious realization of the Fatherhood of GOD,
I brought for consideration, as I have
broughtlinto display and into outer expres-
sion, a Sample and an Example of the fu-
ture establishment of humanity. It is indeed
Wonderful! 1

As I often Say, all that are gathered to-'

gether, the Universe over, they must even-

tually abolish and eradicate all prejudices,
all segregation, and all Iiscrimination, or
else it will’ be a matter of impossibility for
them to enjoy the Joys of Life that we are
producing and enjoying here this morning.
It is indeed Wonderful! As the last Speak-

‘ er said in reference to the different Ages,

and the different scenes of expression in the
different diversities of Dispensations,—they
called out different individuals for the especi-
al purposes, to eradicate the chaos and the
chaotic conditions that were in the Dispensa-
tion. It is indeed Wonderful!

MAN’S. EX'TR.E.MITY—GOD’S ‘
OPPORTUNITY-

If it was only for the cause of the De-
pression the people the Universe over, have
been in for the last ten or twelve years,-I
venture to say since soon after the War,-
this Mission and this Calling would be es-

sential for one and for all, who have to come '

through hardships of the depressions, limi-

tations, lacks, and wants, and all adverse and.

undesirable conditions. Through the oppres-
sions of the oppressors, and every conflict-
ing expression, GOD in His own Majesty,
Love, and Mercy, and Tender Compassion
for His People, condescended to bring forth
this expression as a Sample and as an Ex-
ample of what GOD in this Mighty Name
will do universally. Regardless of the oppo-
sitions, conflicts, or confiictions, the Spirit
of My Presence is Sufficient. It will over-
come all segregation, all depressions, and all
limitations, and all discriminations, every ad-
verse and every undesirable expression, and
establish the Kigdom of Heaven in the place
of those negative expressions. ‘

This is not merely done in secret, but I
do it on the house-tops. I have brought all
nations, languages, tongues, and people, to-
gether, and as it is on My immediate Staff,

thing that is Tangible and Real among the
people. It is indeed Wonderful!

ONLY’ ONE MAN

V This morning we stand as though many,

yet ONE MAN as THOUGH it is many,—.'

yea,-by My Version ‘as one man at Jeru-
salem.’ I have not invited any special in-
dividuals this morning, this is a common oc-
currance. Every day it is the same,—the
actual fulfillment of the Scripture on the
material plane, “In the Day of My Power
My People shall be willing,’ and also another
quotation bearing witness of the same,
which we are expressing,—‘Where the car-
case is, there shall the eagles be gathered to-
gether.’ Another quotation is,—-and this is
a fulfillment of this Morning,——‘The Scep-
tre shall not depart from Judah, nor the 1-aw-
giver from between his feet, until Shiloh
comes, but when Shiloh comes, the gather-
ing of the people shall be unto Him.’ The
Law-givers of our State, they are coming.
The Law-givers of our Country, they are
coming. The Law-givers o-f our present City
Government, they are coming. But, My Be-
loved ones, to you Shiloh has COME.
(‘YOU, /Father,’ shouted the throng.)

SHILOH HAS COME _

Peace everybody! I Said, to YOU Shiloh
has truly COME! To you,—the Law-givers
and the Law have departed from you. It
may sound a little radical, it may sound a
little untrue, but if not to others it is to you.
The Law-givers, the Senators, the Assem-
blymen, the Congressmen, the Governors, the
Mayors, and the Presidents, they all must
recognize this Law, the Law of the Spirit of
Life that is in Christ, or else the Law-.

givers had just as well to depart from you.

(‘Yes Father,’ was the shout.)

-Peace everybody! It has long since been
said,—‘The Laws were given by Moses, but
Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ."The
‘ They had

will HEAR. it. It is indeed Wonderful!
The Law that is in Christ’ Jesus,—- SHI-

. LOH, of Whom you say I Am! I am Spon-
‘ soring this Universal Peace Mission, and I

Am transmitting this Law of the Spirit of
Life to them, that they might let the Law
of the Spirit of Life that is in Christ, Rule
in them. That is the only way they can
fill the different offices they are seeking. It
is indeed Wonderful!

ONE LAW ONLY

There is a Law within a Law, and that
Law that is within a Law, is the Law of
the Spirit of Life that is in Christ. In this
Law of our City Government, and of our
State, and our Country Government, they all

ness has. passed away.

must accept of this Inner Law which I am
Expressing and have brought to fruition, or

- else they cannot fill the offices.

These are hard Sayings, apparently, but
yet they are true. It was predicted through
the mouth of, and.by Moses,—-‘The Law
shall not depart from Judah, nor the Law-
giver from between his feet, until Shiloh
comes.’ The Law and laws of the present
Governments, of all of the Countries, are
supposed to be founded upon the Bible, the
Law of Moses, and the Prophets. But
Moses predicted this Coming, which all
must recognize. Moses was the advocator,
emphasizer, and demonstrator of the Law,
and he declared it to the people of the Earth
as he spoke through the Children of Israel.
There and then it was handed down. thru
all of the Generations, to all of the people of
the Earth. The Law that w-as given to
Moses, he declared it should not or would
‘not depart from Judah,_nor the Law-giver
from between his feet, until Shiloh Comes.’
This morning I will call M!OS!ES into ex-
pression! This Morning I will call Moses,
as the Law-giver of all of the laws. I will
cause him to witness ME! OH MOSES,
WHERE ART THOU? Moses must come
forth by Inspiration, and by the true interpre-
tation, as a witness for this Message and
for this Dispensation, for this Fundamental
that I am advocating. It is indeed Wonder-
ful!

Moses, I have called into action, that he
might bring to the mind of the people col-
lectively, the message he was given, and he
declared it,—-—‘The Law shall not depart
from Judah, nor the Law-giver from be-

tween his feet, until Shiloh comes.’ It is
indeed Wonderful! The true spirit of Judia-
ism must come forth and sponsor this

Cause which I am expressing. They must
come -as verifiers and as endorsers of this
Message, and they too, as well as you, will
willingly bring themselves, their bodies, into
subjection. I think I had better stop! (‘No,
Father,’—was the instantaneous shout.)

THE NEW (TRUE) LAW
This is the time when a change is taking

I place,—a change from the Law that was in
. Moses, to the Law

of the Spirit of Life.
That is why the Officials that are supposed
to be makers of the Law and laws of our
City, State, and Country, must come to
Me. They HAVE come, and they ARE
coming, for the express purpose of seeking
and receiving the Law of the Spirit of Life,
that they might found this Government in
the future, upon the Law of the Spirit of
Life that was in Christ.

I Said a few years ago, I introduced
Christ to the political world, as the only
hope of their redemption, for all economic
conditions, and for the changing of all ad-
versities among the people.
Thoughts to consideration. That is why
especially, My Spiirit is actually drawing
those that are supposed to be the Law-
makers of this City, this State, and this
Country. It is indeed Wonderful! Why?
Because the old L-aw of prejudice and selfish-

’ Person.

Oh take these-

have passed away, and behold I make all;

things new,—the new and Living Way, which

is the Law of the Spirit of Life that is in

Christ. It is indeed Wonderful!
GOD, THE REMEDY FOR
DEPRESSION

Therefore, the Officials must _seek it
through the Fundamental, the only Hope of
Redemption of mankind. The Law of the

. Spirit of Life that is in Christ, shall be in-

serted and injected in the hearts and lives
of those that fill office, to make laws and
ordinances for our present City and State
Government. That is" the mystery! I
am transmitting this Fundamental to them,
that they might establish and re-found the
Government upon.a Foundation that will be
Incorruptible, Undefiled, and one that will
not fade away.

Oh it is such a privilege, dear ones, to
live, to live in this recognition,—conscious
of GOD’S Presence in bringing about the
Law that will surpass, and does surpass, all
human understanding beyond a reasonable
doubt. It is indeed Wonderful! The Law of
the Spirit of Life, I am transmitting to the
officials and the candidates for election, that
they might go forth and carry the Law of
the Spirit of Life, they might be expressers
of the Christ from that angle of the different
diversities of degrees of expression wherein
they are called,‘ according to their official
duties. This is the mystery, Beloved ones!

PRINCIPLE-—NOT PERSON _

We are not caring anything about a race,
creed, or color,—we are caring‘ Qor a Princi-
ple. With or without a body, visible or in-
visible, tangible or intangible, personified or
merely mythical, in the Invisible, we recog-
nize the Fundamental. Is not this a privi-
lege, dear ones? That is why I am drawing
them from all parts of the Earth. They are
recognizing this Fundamental, for it reaches
them wheresoever they are found. They
find they are Spirit of My Spirit and Mind
of My Mind,———no longer imaginary, no longer
a supposition, but your conscious realization
has been substantiated for yours have been
substantiated in it, that GOD is a Reality in
this Dispensation,—not only mystical but in
It is indeed Wonderful!

Just as you see it here, I Say, I will have
it all over the World. Irrespective of con-
sequences or conflicts, the Spirit of My Pres-
ence is,Sufficient in its Own Omniscience,
or Omnipotence, to accomplish that for
which I Came, and to establish same, uni-
versally. It is indeed Wonderful! it is not
necessary for a thought to rise in the mortal
mind of opposition, to feel as if though My
opponents can prohibit it. It is an absolute
matter of IMPOSSIBILITY, for GOD in
His Own Omnipotence and, Omniscience is
S’,ufficient. He carries within Himself the
Victory over all -adverse conditions, it mat-
ters not what they may be. Hence, I am
just as operative WITHOUT My Personal
Presence, as I am WITH It.

That is the great significance of the Omni-
potence, and Omniscience, and‘ Omnipres-
ence of GOD- It is indeed Wonderful! In

that, you are swinging clear from all of the
mortal versions,—not relying on yourself as
a person or as a man, but relying on the in-
finiteness of the Infinite, on the spirituality
of the Spiritual, on the Omniscience of the
Omniscient,.—-that you might accomplish th-at
for which you came. Hall of the visible
bodies of men, would DISAPPEAR into the
nothingness from whence they came, the
SPIRIT of MY PRESENCE would
FUNCTION just the same, and could and
WOULD be just as operative and just as
effective as it is with all cif our personal
presence.

IMMORTAL BODY OF OURS

Now is not that a Wonderful place to be?
Oh that man could learn to throw off the
body, his own individual body, and all of their
bodies collectively, as the bodies of‘ men,
and realize the Allness of GOD and the
nothingness of man! When this sh-all have
been done, you will not have an occasion to
fret nor worry. Whatsoever you intend,
you will know if is accomplishable, it is pro-
ducible, is ‘reciprocatable,’ and also re-
incarnatable. Others will reciprocate to you
what you have done for them, and you don’t
have to ask them for it. It is indeed Won-
derful!

Take these Thoughts into consideration!
Live in the Consciousness of it! ‘Lo, I will
be with you.’ The Powers that Be, they are
all subject to Me. They are brought into
subjection bythe conscious realization of the
Allness of GOD and the nothingness of mat-
ter, and by living continually in the Christ
Consciousness. '

ALL MANKIND WELCOME

As I often aforesaid, we" are happy to know.
this Morning, that we have had Senator
Guest with us, and other political Speakers
and Representatives of the different Parties.
But I am glad to lift up this Standard for
each and everybody. When they come into
our Assemblies they can see the outward
expression as an open expression for the ob-
servation of the people as a lesson, that they
might be taught, not in words only, but in
our personal deeds and our personal actions.
I am telling them just exactly what I Stand
for. All of the races, creeds and colors, they
must be unified together. They must be
recognized, according to your classes, or
classifications whichever, and there must be
no division among My People. I -am expres-
sing it, in the very appearance of the Gath-
ering under My Personal Jurisdiction. In the
personal appearance of them, and in their
expressions as we reflect them in deeds and
in actions, as we sit and stand together,--I
am expressing My Version and they must
bring their bodies into subjection, and they
‘must be willing to endorse My Activities,
or else they will be defeated. It is indeed
Wonderful!

A Thought came for c0nsideration,—if
perchance one would be elected in this par-
ticular election that is not worthy of the
office, I will bring the decision to the Ap-
pellate Division of the Supremacy of the

Infinite, and will cause the next election to
see that they are defeated, by reversing the
decision. It is indeed Wonderful! It is
‘hard to say, apparently, but if there are any
friends of those of the political world, around,
that think within themselves that they can
flatter Me,—‘Be not deceived, GOD is not
mocked.’ Nothing is hid from Me. As I
Said yesterday, when one of the candid-ates
onsthe Stage in the Rockland Palace, last
week, on Tuesday Evening, expressed as
though he was giving all Honor to Me for
the purpose of gaining the sympathy and
support of My M-ajesty,——when he went to
the Church and other places among the peo-
ple, while speaking privately and publicly, he
tried to ignore Me, yea even tried to criti-
cise those of My _Followers, while he is
seeking their vote. It is in’deed Wonder-
ful!

BE ON GOD’S SIDE

But remember, the man’s name I will call
but it is not necessary to call it especially,
for if I am FOR you, the whole World had
just as well be against you, and they had
just as well be FOR you, for with Me I‘
have the Victory over all adversities. It is
indeed Wonderful! And if I oppose you, it
matters not how many there are for you, you
had just as well to shut up!

Mr Steele did not flatter Me, he did not
win a vote from Me, by saying he believed in
Me. IKNOW HIM! It is indeed Won-
derful! I need not call a person’s name,
My Spirit andMy Mind is Sulficient,—-I work
through the mind of the masses,~—I transmit
My Thoughts to the people. It is indeed
Wonderful! Nevertheless, as it is an open
spoken word, and as I stand openly, I call
his name -as he has spoken, that you all may
know of whom I am talking. It is indeed
Wonderful!

NO DECISION POSSIBLE

If one ever gets in office, that is not quali-
fied, I will move him out. It is indeed
Wonderful! These may be apparently hard
Sayings, but this is the Live Wire, a Live
Rail, and even a Live Atmosphere, in which
youare living. If you THINK negatively,
you may get a mental and spiritual. shock.
I have charged the spirit of the atmosphere
of New York with the magnetic current of
GOD'S Infiniteness, and the conscious reali-
zation of GOD’S Presence.
current of GOD’S Infiniteness, will shock
the minds that think negatively, through it,
for it is just as operative in and on the men-

tal plane, as on the material, live, electric “

wires and rails are, on the material plane.

I know these are hard Sayings, I know I
am Radical apparently, _but I haven’t said
anything yet, toiwhat I WILL Say. Yet
with all of that, I will be Saying, and Saying
nevertheless, all that I may Say or WILL
will be but a slight sketch and a reflection of
a percent of a fraction of a grain of what I
WILL DO universally, for I will Preach
Christ in "Words, but more so in deeds and
actions and I will put My Spirit in them and
cause them to walk in My Statutes...

This magnetic ‘

.'Therefore, by the, ‘people being electedyi
even if one WOULD be elected that is not
officially, and morally, and righteously qual-
ified, I will reverse the decision by convert R
ing the people for the next election. Did
you hear Me? I will REVERSE the de-
cision, through the Appelate Division, by the
the next election, by converting the people
and bringing -them into subjection to this
Fundamental.

  
  

GOD’S MESSAGES SOUGHT

Why is it the masses are reading the New
York News today? It is because the New
York News received My Messages willing-
ly. You readily, and as many as are con-
verted into My recognition, they are con-
verted into the reading of the Newspaper.
Therefore, when I convert the people, I will
reverse the decision. Even though they
heretofore decided that a person should be
Alderman, or a person should be Congress-
man, or a man should be Assemblyman, or a
man should be a Senator,—all they have s
said he should'ibe,—if he is not in accord
with me when I convert those persons I will
reverse their decision, and in the next elec-
tion it will be difficult. That is the mystery!
It is indeed Wonderful! I will add missions
and millions to the universal Cause, and as
many as are converted into this recognition _
they are also reversers of their pre-decisions, ,.
for they have been transformed by the re-.
newing of their minds. Therefore, the men-
tal and spiritual Appellate Division of Con-
gress within themselves has reversed the de-
cision, When' I converted them into this
recognition. It is indeed Wonderful!

The time cometh and now is, every news-
paper will be seeking Me, and after-a-while
they will be anxious to have Me, but I WILL
NOT have them. I -am converting the
people, and reversing their decisions, ’and"
the decisions of millions. It is indeed Won-
derful! Take these Thoughts into consid-
eration. Live in this recognition. Dail in
on the Fundamental, and live according to"
this Teaching, which "is Evangelical. You
will be tbundantly blessed, according to the
Aim and the Purpose of the Almighty.

Just a Word for the Politicians! .I Stand I
as One, as I aforesaid, Sponsoring this Uni-
versal Peace Mission, that it may be em-'
bodied in the officials’ decisions when they i
shall have been elected to office, that Law
and Order may be sponsored and controlled
by our Government in a way, for it shall be
the Law of the Spirit ofvLife in them, yet
according to the Constitution. It is indeed »-~-
Wonderful! ‘

 

 

RIGHTEOUS ‘GOVERNMENT
_ NECESSARY

Then I Say, we came to put these points
through, -and many bills are well worth con-
sidering, that the Senator should take for the’
good of the people, and as an issue up to
Congress, as representative of good living a
and moral betterment. ‘It is indeed Won-V
derful! They will present such as the milk-
trust Bill, such as the coal-trust Bill, such

Los Angeles, Calif., Nov. 10th.-—The visit

to Los Angeles of Faithful Mary, the angel
‘ who was resurrected from Newark’s under-

world, to take her place as a beaconlight for
all mankind, was a most happy circum-
stance. Day after day during her stay, hun-
dreds were thrilled by her amazing testi-
mony. However often this testimony is

' heard, it never for an instant loses its power-

ful appeal as one of the most inspiring tales
of human rejuvenation. Her almost unbe-
lievable rise from the garbage can to her
present position is one of the phenomena
of the new day. ‘

To many in Los Angeles, confused to
some extent as to the exact teaching of
FATHER DIVINE, brought about by mis-
leading presentations of his message to the
world, this humble disciple cleared away

.the mists of misunderstanding and more by

her example than her words, permitted the
true message in its simplicity to be seen by
all. Her visit, in a large measure, restored
peace and harmony to troubled hearts,
brought vividly home to all, the necessity for
love and kindness os the essence of FATHER
D‘IVINE’S{ message. To others, believing
thiemselves possessed of various physical
afflictions, her radiant and vital appear-
ance of health, proved a tower of strength
and renewed hope.

It is anticipated that Faithful Mary will
be present both in the morning and evening,
Sunday, November 11th, at the 41st Street

.'Kingdom, where another great gathering is

expected topmarvel at her testimony. There

appeared a possibility of a bus from the

Northwest, arriving, and possibly one from
Oakland, but this had not been verified.

FATHER DIVINE has really stirred up
Los Angeles with HIS Pure Love among
HIS Children,’ for ‘the last seven days. It
is truly Wonderful. HIS Love is here and
always has been here, but when HE sends

I more Love to that which is seemingly kind

of still, HE really stirs it up.

We are so glad that all the children are
getting together in peace and harmony and
love. We have seen faces that we haven’t
seen since around February, when the Move-*
ment was first started in Los Angeles. It
is Wonderful. Just as Faithful Mary told
them when she arrived. There is no need
to come to her as a person to talk with her
or ask anyquestions at all, but to contact
the Spirit of FATHER DIVINE WITHIN
and HE will tell them all they want to
know and‘ they will need no man to teach
them. As she further explained, she didn’t
even go. to anyone to ask about FATHER
DIVINE and didn’t hear anybody talk about
‘FATHER DIVINE, but FATHER spoke
WITHIN her. Ever since HE has raised
her from the depths of sin, she doesn’t go
to anyone to’ ask any information at all-
FATHER DIVINE is her Leader and Pro-

tector and everything to her.
We are so glad FATHER’S Love is ex-

pressing like it did in the beginning of the .,

Movement here, and the children are com-
ing back together in Peace and Harmony.
We would even like to have Faithful Mary
stay longer, but she has not been taken as
a person as the cause of bringing us together
in the Pea-ce and Harmony but we know it
is the Spirit of Love that FATHER DI-
VINE is expressing through HIS temple
that appears to us as Faithful Mary. It is
FATHER and nothing else for Father
speaks through her so beautifully and al-
ways reminds us to keep our minds staid on
GOD and let nothing come between us and
our sweet FATHER.

In going around with FATHER in Faith-
ful Mary, we°have had many helpful experi-
ences. It was Wonderful how a minister
asked FATHER in the temple of Faithful
Mary, how the blessings come, or the source
of supply. “But,” he said, “Only those in
this Truth know that.” And we stood back
and listened to FATHER speak through her
and we could just see how FATHER was
speaking for her and when she couldn’t even
explain the limitless blessings PFATHER
DIVINE is expressing she said, “No one
knows but GOD, Who is FATHER DI-
VINE, because if I knew, I would be GOD
myself. All we have to do is to deny our-
selves and live this Evangelical Life and
FATHER DIVINE will express HIS limit-
less Blessings through you.”

In going among some of the children that
heard of FATHER’S Peace Mission,. but
had also heard of so much division, when
they heard FATHER speak through Faith-
ful Mary, and heard her testimony of what
GOD had done for her and healed her, it
has caused many to come in, who were really
in the Sianctified Churches and FATHER
would use them in this Wonddrful Spirit
and Vibration. It is truly Wonderful.

FATHER’S Mind and Spirit has really
taught us how to keep our Mind staid on
GOD and let nothing come between us and
our Saviour. Faithful Mary said, “The way
most of the children were led here, by the
person of man, they would all have been
afraid to get up and pat their hands if
FATHER HIMSELF would come here
Persona-lly.” /ind many of the children re-
plied, “Yes, they would have obeyed man at
the time!”

FATHER spoke through Faithful and
told them it was better for this to have hap-
pened than to have had FATHER come in
her at first, because FATHER is only ex-
pressing Love and you would have learned
to Love right on, but still we wouldn’t have
gotten any knocks and we would have exal-
ted her the same as FATHER DIVINE.
Now, since we have been knocked around.
we see there is no need to look at anybody
but GOD. Now we can see FATHER ex-
pressing through her instead of saying, “I
would just as soon see Faithful Mary as
FATHER DIVINE.” It is Wonderful!‘

Now the sweet‘ testimonies are given
amongst one another and they are telling

how glad they are that they have come back _

 FAITHFUL MARY’S VISIT GREAT INSPIRATION--DEPARTS WEDNESDAY EVE.

together again, for the sheep had been scat-
tered. FATHER’S sweet Love has caused
them to come back together.

There were so. many invitations extended
to Faithful Mary to visit different institu-
tions and churches, but regardless of all or
these invitations, we could see expressed
only that little lamb of FATHER DIVINE
in her. She repeated many times, “All the

praise and all the Glory goes to FATHER .

DIVINE

FATHER alone took her out of a gar-
bage can! Man has been trying to rob
God long enough. If we all had praised
GOD and kept self out of the way, all
would have been blessed to a certain extent
before now. GOD said, HE would impart
to some a gift of healing, some a gift of
prophesying, etc., but by the time the Works
began expressing through us, we would at-
tempt to claim the glory and take the
praises to ourselves. That is just why we
are made a sample and example of among
men, because no one could do the works
unless it is GOD doing the Work through
us. Faithful said, “With all the healings
that have been done in FATHER’S King-
dom, there are some still asking me if I
could do it myself.” I would tell them, “If
I could heal anyone, why couldn’t I heal
myself?” , .

It is so Wonderful how with all ‘these in-
vitations extended to her, Faithful would
say she would have to obey the Spirit of
FATHER DIVINE and the Spirit just kept
her right at the Kingdom, the former Dun-
bar Hotel at 41st Street and Central Ave.
And truly the Love has drawn the people
together there.

Every day the Banquet Table was spread
at this Kingdom and was always filled to
capacity and Oh! How FATHER in the
various temples did sing and praise GOD
and testifying telling what GOD had done
for them. i _

There was one child that testified that
she remembered Faithful Mary -s'ix"’years
ago. She remarked that when she wasiback
in the East and saw her, there wasn’t any
way in the world that man could have made
the wonderful change in that angel. She
also said that if FATHER hadn't done
anymore than what HE had done for
Faithful Mary and had veiled HIMSELF
never again to appear or be able to be seen
Personally, the whole round world ought
to know that FATHER DIVINE is GOD-
She saw the condition the old body was in
and said it ought to cause the whole of Cali-
fornia and the whole world to' know
FATHER DIVINE is GOD because GOD
had HIS Hand held over her.

FATHER has really awakened the chil-
drerg in California and we are thanking
HIM because HE has blessed us. \/Ve can
look on all of His Good Works for He has
done many good Works-here in Los Ange-
les. I There are many that have thrown away
their -crutches and glasses and other mortal,
things since FATHER has arrived here in

Faithful Mary. We thank You Fathler.
Every day there are testimonies of great
and Wonderful healings that have taken
place without even seeing the Personal Body
of FATHER.

Wednesday evening next, the 13th, Faith-
ful Mary will make her departure culmi-
nating a rare event in the life of Los An-
geles. A goodly crowd is expected at the
Santa Fe station to see her off. The train
leaves at 7:05 p. m. It is understood that
tentative plans have been made for a group
to gather at the 41st St. Kingdom, from
which place they will make their Way, in a
body, to the station.~

The visit of Faithful Mary has not been

without its significance. Left behind her is
a new and greater appreciation of the great
TRUTH which is sweeping the land, a
greater conviction of the reality of GOD’S
presence. Peace, Faithful Mary, and may
your blessings be multiplied. We thank
FATHER DIVINE deeply for making this
happy visit possible. Airiving in New York
on November 18th, a great Banquet will
undoubtedly await her at the 126th Street
Extension’, where the great work of reclaim-
ing Harlem, and indeed all mankind, will go
on.

A CORRECTION

Due to a typgraphieal error it was errone-
ously‘ stated in the reprint of FAITHFUL
MARY’S testimony appearing in the Nov.
‘ 3rd issue of The “SPOKEN WORD}: that,
“The rent in one place is a thousand dollars
a month.”

It was meant to say that the total rental
in all nine places, under the jurisdiction of
FAITHFUL MARY, amounts to around a
thousand dollars a month.

THE HANDWRITING
ON THE WALL

The most vital consideration, before the
people today, according to their own decla-
ra-tion, is the elimination of poverty» and
want. The nation, to all appearances, faces
a situation unprqcedented There is no
need here to review the extent of this con-
ditioln~—11,he ‘people themgaelves have ac-
knowledged it and made it, a reality.

Virtually all of our prominent public men
have expressed their opinions concerning
the remedy for this condition to no avail.
It is obvious that the solution has still been
undiscovered, at least to the majority of the
people, or it has been sidestepped. In the
utterances of our leading men the truly dis-
cerning will see between the lines. They
have seen and are loath to admit, the hand-
writing on the wall.

One observer sees a tendency too radical
brewing on the horizen.
This from one of our most conspicuous
figures. He sees a wiser progressiveism on
the part of one faction or an era of commu-
protest which may threaten our
"‘=Arneric'an institutions, on the other hand.

 

 

A , , A great banker counsels those who are

criticizing the policies of our present admin-
istration in Washington, to refrain and per-
mit the various social reforms to proceed
uninterrupted. A

In the statementlof both fhere is veiled the
intimation that more extreme measures,
more liberal than are commonly in practice
at present, are an imminent ‘possibility. It
is obvious that they are inevitable if the
present paradoxical situation of poverty in

the midst of plenty is to be brought to an_

end.

The handwriting on the wall is all too
visible. There is no conservative nor
“middle-of-the-road” policy possible. The

man in the middle-of-the road is certain
to be swept to oblivion. _

There are certain diabolical machinations
momentarily holding up the onward march
of progress toward the goal of peace and
plenty. Many will have opportunity to
further seal their fate. But in the offing,
fast approaching, can be heard the thunder
of destiny, for the great Warrior of justice
is at the helm. Not Communism, Marxism,
nor any other un-American doctrine, but the
fulfillment of our ideals of liberty and justice
as incorporated in the Constitution--the
ideals now being handled so lightly by
those masquerading in the guise of its sup-
porters—thc conservatives who are opposed
to change-

NEW SALES APPROACH

While we were in New York, we ran.
across two of our acquaintances from the
West, now happy followers of FATHER
DIVINE. Fresh from their jaunt about
the country, during which time they had
ample opportunity to demonstrate the busi-
ness value of this Principle, they bubbled
over -with eagerness to telleof their experi-
ences.

Glowingly, they told of .how they had
started out from Los Angeles, with the idea
of buying gold‘ under the Government
License which they possessed, to pay their
expenses. They said it was their intention‘
to try and conduct the business in FATHER
DIV'INE’S mind and Spirit, keeping Him
ever before them as the Sample. They had
been highly‘ successful at every turn, which
made possible_their trip.

We were decidedly amused at a little
story the sister told us about their experi-
ence in “buying gold.” It was their pro-
cedure to go from door to door, being-ever-
conscious of FATHER, staying in each
town as long as business warranted. They
did not make any “high pressure” efforts to
influence their prospects, but merely pre-
sented their case and left it all to FATHER.

As they continued, they seemed to find a
ready response wherever they called. Like-
wise, plenty of opportunity presented itself
to spread the good cheer. The sister said
she used to get in the habit, of tripping up
the steps, ringing the bell briskly, and as
she pressed the button, running over in her
consciousness the thought, “God’s in the
land!—God’s in the land!” This, she came

THE LIBERAL

The radical lives ‘left”, the con-
servative establishes himself to
the “right” of the dividing line,
but the liberal attempts to pitch
his tent in both camps. A

The liberal is neither “red” her
“white”, just a soft faint almost
indistinguishable mixture of the
two—a delicate “pink” that in-
variably bleaches when exposed
to the rigors of the .atifiosphe-re.

Verily, ’tis easy to bleach him,
but difficult to increase the crim-
son in his make up.

Behold this yes-man, this suave
soul perched so calmly upon the
fence. An eel in all his watery
glory was never more elusive than
he. This shifty straddler -sitting
with one foot resting lightly in
the meadow on each side of the
partition. He is the true miracle
man. He is the one example of an
object occupying two places in
space at the same. time.

The liberal tan see both sides to
every issue and embrace either
with equal sincerity. He can de-
fend fervently either side in a de- I
bate.

He wants to hunt with the
hounds and run with the rabbits.

He is “broad” a.nd “unbiased".
So broad in fact that one can nev-
er get a grip on his whole person;
so unbiased that he never knows
what side he is on or when he's

on it. He respects everyone. s
views whether they be lies or the
truth. ‘

In him knowledge and action are

so nicely balanced that hescannot
act for thinking, nor can he think
lest his thought might lead to ac-
tion. ‘

He sees all sides, hears all sides,
and speaks on all sides of a sub-
ject.

The liberal is a puzzle to his fel-

lows and a tragedy to himself.
For he is unsteadfast, and ALL

believing.—-Carl Echols in Cali-

DIVINE! MOTTOES
AND EXCERPTS

 

When you have come to the extremity
of your ability, then and there God will
take it up and you will not. need anything
else.

You are expressing and making your
Moderation known to all men that the
Lord is at hand by being absolutely inde-
pendent and free and clear from all obli-
gations.

You are letting the world know tha.t God
is at hand by being so blessed that you
will not owe any man.

If you will be willing to be of real physi-
cal practical service to God and to man
you will be able to express the highest.

Launch out into the Ocean Divine, out
where the full tide flows.

I have not enough souls and bodies to
deposit all of these limitless Blessings in.

Far out in the ocean and the fish in the
sea, they come at My Command.
The wind and the waves they shall obey.
From the mine, the gold and the silver,

they will come and say “Lord, here am ‘1”.

The thoughts of the mind of man will
come and say “Lord, here am I”. For the
Blood has paid it all, from the things that
are in the highest heavens to the things
that are in the earth from henceforth for-

evermore.

He that is Within you is greater than all
the adverse conditions that can arise.

I do not care anything about conditions
for God in you is greater than the condi-
tions can be and can meet every condition
and be the Master of it.

o’clock. On Sundays the meetings begin
at eleven o'clock and continue through the
day and evening. Meals are served from
twelve noon until six, and the unemployed
are fed daily between one and two p.‘ in.
every day. Through the month of Septem-
ber over one hundred free meals were
served, and up to date of this month one
hundred and two free meals.

Father has placed His Peace Mission on
a busy thorough-fare leading in and out
of the city, and many wayfarers are drawn
in here to learn. what is done in Father's
Name. All of Father's children who are
travelling through Oakland or visiting in
the city or around the Bay district will find
a loving welcome on Eeventh Street.

Yours in Fathers Mind and Spirit,

——Brother Abraham. _

Your King in you is the King of the com-
mercial world and He holds it in the H01-
low of his hand. ‘ »

All you have to do is just be Faithful
and whatever you are qualified for, you
will receive it.

Christ does not mean especially a per-
son, but He comes in Person.

The thing that you visualizes is the thing
that you materialize and will bring into
actuality in your lives.

I AM rejoicing because I do not have
to come near you for you to feel and see.
yea hear the steady stepping of Immanuel.

FORMER UTOPIAN
EXPRESSIVE VIEWS

The people of California have had :1
great experience——they have learned a
great lesson in the recent election. What we
think is a matter of our own jurisdiction
.ut it must be "known that any attempt on
qhegpart of any one group or class of peo-
ple to ga.in their economic freedom at the
expense of another group will fail.

Those who consider themselves poor can-
not hope to profit at the expense of the
rich, neither can those who consider them-
selves rich continue to profit at the ex-
pense of the poor. There must be unity-"-
there must be courage to manifest the true
universal brotherhood of man, based upon
those principals which are of direct bene-
fit to one and all alike.

Much has been said in recent weeks
about “Production for Use”. It would be
well to observe that all the wealth of
goods that has ever been produced in the
United States has been produced for use,
but unequally distributed. Therefore, the
slogan “Production for Use” means little,
until we give our direct attention to the
priblem of distribution.

The Distribution of goods is supposed to
be done by what we call money. The fact
that money in the hands of the few fails
to distribute goods to the many, represents
the point of our national problem.

The whole body of the American people
will be obliged, sooner or later, to com-

pletely abolish money as we now know
it and then establish an equitable system of
distribution which cannot fail to deliver the
goods for use after they have been pro-
duced.

If we may be permitted to repeat the
facts, there are an exact number of peo-
ple in the United States——we know exact-
ly how many goods they can produce by
operating the farms and factories at 100
per cent capacity and we know how many
hours of human effort .are necessary to
produce the goods. These facts, to use Fa.-
ther Divine’s phrase, “Are too stout to be
denied”, and no amount of political expe-
dient, financial opinion, codes, creeds,
votes or other arguments can ever change
the facts. Man’s time is done. The facts
must be faced and they have been faced
in the instrument which appears on an-
other page of this issue—called THE DE-
CLARATION OF ECONOMIC INDEPEN-
DENCE AND SECURITY, which everyone
is requested to read, study. sign and mail
to the duly elected President and Congress
of the United States, demanding the only
action which can save either the rich man
or the poor man from the folly of financi-
al bankruptcy.

We, the people, must become wealth con-
scious by recognizing the superabundance
of every useable and desirable thing. VVe
must likewise become conscious of that
which can deliver these goods as the
spirit of Universal Love dictates.

FATHER DIVINE SAYS:-—

“Taking the Mind of Christ as the
Sample and as the Elxample.”

“For this cause He came in the Body
called Jesus as a Perscn, expressing
and manifesting Himself to the people.
It is indeed Wonderfful! Through the
Life and the Teaching of Christ in
Jesus, He brought out many Mysteries,
but the first and the great significance
was to observe the irlystery of SELF‘
DENIAL. God is in you and in each
and every individual, but He cannot put
forth Himself into expression, until you
as individuals, through your pre-con-
ceived ideas and opinions cease to func-_
tion. It is indeed Wonde:ful. That is the
great mystery of God working in the
midst of His people to lift them up to
a higher level. It is indeed Wonderfuli
God in the midst of you is MIGHTY to
SAVE, but remember you must “LET
GO” and be born again".

_ After the excitement of tlie “election" is

over, we often find time to weigh carefully
‘what ’it’is all about. There are “ISSUES

", portant, but there is really one issue of
importance. This issue is the BROTHER-
HOOD OF MAN.

' way ‘to principle. “All for ane and one
»fo‘.i. all” is still a slogan that is universal in
‘its"'scope‘, but it becomes more effective when
the REST is added, “But not for one who’s
not for all.”

».To be our “brother’s keeper,” wemust be

must give account some day, for he has

 to the task of governing say about the seem-

wHo vvoN THE‘. ELECTION?

The election is over. The people, sup- .

posedly, have expressed their preferences
concerning the various candidates for of-
fice everywhere. The fundamental right
of every citizen to make known his desires
by means of the ballot has again been ex-
ercised -and the people will gain or lose,
presumably, according to their wishes ex-
pressed. ‘ .

Underlying the mass of figures portray-
ing the result, the victory or defeat of in-
dividuals here or there, still remains the
greater issue—justice and equality for all.
If the candidates elected do not conform
to this standard, do not deal justly man to
man, their tenure of office will be brief,
their success short lived.

It has been said, “Everything works for
the good of those who love the Lord.” There
can thus be seen in election results only
benefit to the cause of right, ultimately,
whatever the appearances .may seem to
the contrary. GOD in his infinite patience
and wisdom will let the people have their
Way, will let them blunder to the end of
their rope, is so theyidesire to do. When
their extremity has become great enough,
when their distress has become sufficient-
ly acute, they may decide to seek GOD.

Many will see, in apparent defeat, .23.
great moral victory for the friends of so-
cial justice. Others will see the verification
of their versions, depending upon their
point of vantage and personal considera-
tions. Butthe Master Politician still holds
the winning cards, like a master player, he
directs and manipulates his men on the
great checkerboard of life. moves them
here, up or down, according to the wiz-
ardry of his pattern. Man cannot pene-
trate the baffling wisdom and purposes of
this hand behind the scenes.

The decision and judgment of the ma-
jority does not render any the less right
the ideal and vision of the minority. Re-
treat does not mean defeat. The friends of
social justice will press on with‘ renewed
determination towards the ultimate goal
which cannot be denied them. The ensuing
-months and years, as the great Controller
of the destinies of mankind, continues to
weave his pattern, will in reality divulge

Men have set aside a day, November 11th
which they call Armistice Day. This day
commemorates the conclusion, in one par-
ticular instance," of that greatest of all
human follies. The anniversary of the ces-

tation of hositilities-—Armistice Day—can »

have but one meaning—the picture of per-
manent peace. Those to whom it has any
other, are hopelessly misguided.

Armistice Day in no way holds an iota

of glamour from any standpoint of mili- '

tarism. The ‘great folly” which preceede-.1
it, as in the case of all others, was: entire-
ly futile, settled nothing. Force as a means
of settling human differences is a mockery
of GOD'S law. _It is a colossal monstrosity

of man's blundering misery, caused by his

disregard of GOD.
Armistice Day, meaningless in itself, can

only serve to renew before our minds and A

‘photograph indelibly the ideal of PEACE.

A Canon of one of London’s great cathe-
drals broadcasts an appeal to all England
to renounce and never again sanction the
.folly of armed recourse. Students in a

group of the most prominent Americana

universities, show in a poll ta.ken some
months ago, thelr realizaiton of the com-
plete futility of it all and their determina-
tion to outlaw war. . ‘
With advanced scientific means and
chemical agencies, another such ‘folly’ if
permitted, would undoubtedly mean the _an-
nihaliation of the human family . Let us
hold constantly. before us the ideal of
PEACE—-know within ourselves that the
permanent» armistice is signed. '

TRUTH IS NOT OPINION

A ‘friend insisted that “all one
have about anything is
We'll go this one better. The truth is the
truth. It is incorruptible, undefiled, and

ifadeth not away. It cannot be added to’
nor detracted from, nor need it be de-’

fended.

There exists concerning things "more"

than an opinion. One may have an opinion
of truth but truth is no opinion.

. ARRIVAL OF BUSSES EXPECTED
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10th——The arrival.

of two busses filled with followers, one from

Oakland and another from Everett, Wash- ,

ington was expected, probably for the week-
end according to word received at the King-
dom at 41st Street and Central Avenue.

Sister Rebebca, under whfise jurisdiction

hoped both busses would arrive to share in
the merriment of the last few days of Faith-
ful Mary’s visit.

The Oakland bus seemed sure to arrive -4

FATHER DIVINE’S MESSAGE POLITI-
CAL MASS MEETING, ROCKLAND
PALACE, NEW YORK CITY, TUES-
DAY, OCTOBER 30TH. 1934; 12
MIDNIGHT

Many political speakers, including Sena-I

tors, Congressmen, and Candidates for Of-
fice in City and State, stood before the mi-

crophone at the Rockland Palace, New-

York City, Tuesday evening, October 30th,
in Father’s Personal Presence, and placed
their programs before a great sea of more
than ten thousand enthusiastic faces that
filled the great Auditorium and overflow-
ed into the street.

It was Father, cooperating with Sufi
Abdul Hamid, head of a.n anti-segregation,
anti-discrimination Organization, that had
made this Meeting possible, and brought
the people together, after a great Street
Demonstration in which many thousands
of Father’s Followers had marched with
their banners and placards conveying Fa-

ther's Message to the World at large and’

making their moderation known to all men
that GOD is at hand in His Personal Bodi-
ly Form, known as Father Divine.

As the Speakers unanimously agreed, no
such enthusiasm, and no such Meeting had
ever been known in the history of the Dis-
trict, and it was all done with only forty-
eight hours’ notice. Father simply Spoke
the Word at His New York City Head-
quarters, and the multitudes appeared. The
people obeyed Father’s slightest gesture or
Word, and the politicians knew that it
would be the same on Election Day,——if
they could get Him to express Himself in
their favor, every vote in the great Throng
would be theirs. Therefore they bowed the
knee to His Authority, and every tongue
confessed it.

After Speaking at the opening of the
meeting, and listening to the various
speakers, including Sufi Abdul Hamid,
Father was called upon again, soon after
midnight, "to bring the Meeting to a con-
clusion, at which time He Spoke as fol-
lows: ~“'

“PEACE EVERYONE! Here I am again, _

whatsoever that means. It means nothing
less than the universalization of the
Brotherhood of man, and the conscious rc-
cognition of the Fatherhood of GOD. For
this Cause I Came, and for this Purpose I
Stand. I am still stressing the great signi-
ficance of the recognition of GOD'S Pres-
ence as a Reality. This recognition and re-
alization, it carries within itself the victory
over all adverse conditions. It carries with-
itself .a Power that cannot be ‘handicapped,
neither can it be hindered. It is indeed
Wonderful!
GOD UPHOLDS RIGHT

I have Arisen at this juncture in conclu-
sion, to verify the statements of the dif-

  FATHER! DIVINE Speaks At Political   Meeting.
One Universal Brotherhood--GOD’S W/ill For All Mankincl 

ferent speakers, and especially the state-
ments of the Founder and Organizer of
this Meeting. It is indeed Wonderful! Just
what he has endeavored to do, My Mis-
sion, and My Endeavors have been to ac-
complish that, and I am none the less de-
termined.‘ It is indeed Wonderful!

,As' I said about three years ago, while
the Public Utilities and the Public‘ Bus
Companies were using My People, My
Followers,—I mean of every nation, langu-
age, tongue and people,—to ‘support them
and to keep them in business, I presented
a Private Bill, as it may ‘be, termed, :0
several of the different Bus Companies in
the City. I asked them to cooperate with
Me, as I am a Representative of every na-
tion, language, tongue and people,——asked
them to cooperate with Me in putting on
bus drivers that looked like Me. The ma-
jority of them ignored it, and I Said, if you
do not cooperate with Me I will be your
Competitor. It is indeed VVonderful! They
forced Me out into running a bus business
Myself. It is indeed Wonderful! Not only
a bus business, but we will have any and
everything else! We will have Railroad
trains, and Steamship lines, we will have
private utilities, if the people will not deal
justly among the people. I will not ask a
man so much, to do what he should do, but
I will just put him out of business. (A
mighty demonstration from the Audience
followed these Remarks.)

Peace everybody! I recall one of the Bus
Companies trying to say, “Why the Insur-
ance Companies will not allow us to have
(so and so) bus drivers’. I Said, I will see
that there be bus drivers on the highways
that will look justas I do! Not only that,
but in every line of business and profession,
will I see that all men have their equal
rights and their liberty, by any means
whatever. It is indeed Wonderful! This is
the Mission for which I Came to the Earth,
and I will not be discouraged until I shall
have accomplished it. It is indeed Wonder--
ful!

ONE FOR ALL
ALL FOR ONE

There are thousands and thousands, yea
even millions and millions standing with
Me for the common good of all, as I Stand
with them for one and for all. It is indeed
Wonderful! I will Speak to you in Words.
but more so in deeds and in actions. It
has long since been said in the World of
phraseology, especially in America,—_—‘Ac-
tions speak louder than words’. It is indeed
"Wonderful! I am here to Say tonight, I
endeavor to Speak in actions, more than I

have even spoken in Words. I shall Speak

in actions, and I will Put My Spirit in
them and I will cause them to walk in My
Statutes, whether they are religious or non-
religious. It is indeed Wonderful! It makes
no difierence to Me whether Y011 are 3

Christian, a. Jew, or an Infidel, if you wiilf I
deal justly between man and man, and give
every man his equal rights according to .
our Constitution; I will Endorse you. But’
if you do not, I will MOVE YOU OUT OF
OFFICE.

Now this is not merely talk, I mean» what 
I am Saying! With or without My Personal ‘:-
Bodily Form, I will accomplish that far A
which I Came! I so often call your atten-
tions to the old Civil Wa.r Song‘,——‘Old«'i?'
John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in E
the clay,-—but his spirit goes marching or.'.
I will not be discouraged, for I will accom- ’’
plish tha.t for which I Came with or with'-‘- 7
out this Bodily Form. It is absolutely im-’ <
material to Me. It is indeed Wonderfulsf
GOD ALONE SHALL REIGN. ' .

As the Speaker said, we shall have that 
Which is just and right for us,-—not for "
Me as a. Person especially, but for each and?
all of the people. That is the Purpose for
which I Came, and Stand for same. If it.
costs the sacrifice of a million bodies, 
am willing to sacrifice both it and them
for the Cause for which I Came, to es
tablish the universal Brotherhood of Man ' ;
and the conscious relaization of the Fa.-
therhood of GOD.

I do not like to detain you, but I Under-
stand the majority of you under the Sound ,
of My Voice would stay here all night, if E
I would stay. It is indeed Wonderful! (‘Yes
Father’,—came a mighty response, with
enthusiasm.) It arouses My Zeal, when~I
think of the race—prejudiced,.bigoted -pe
P16 trying to control the people, trying to
get in office to put men down .under fo ,
—segregate and discriminate them, and set 
them off in ‘rat traps’. It is indeed Wonder? '
ful! It is indeed Wonderful!! I am not ask-
ing a man to put Me anyp lace. I will place 9-
Myself at the place I Will to be, and I will
qualify men and women, whereby they will
be capable of filling any Office in the Gov-
ernment, that our ancestors could not fill.
It is indeed Wonderful!  _.

F01‘ this Cause I Came, and for this 1
purpose I Stand. My Followers are stand-
ing with Me, are you-not? (A demonstra
tion of devotion followed, that was tré
mendous.) It is indeed Wonderful!
don’t wish for a person to make a mistake,
-—I cannot stress it too vividly that I at "J

Religion,——that which is termed Religio
by the average person, as in the mythical
conception of things not real, practical and
tangible,—but Christ as an Individual, in
the Name of Jesus, came tangibly man
fested.

GOD THE REDEEMER _

Just think of it,——today under the Sound
of My Voice, even this Evening, there are
thousands and thousands that have cease
to commit vice and crime physically. The?"

  
  
   
  
   
    
   
   
   
   
   
    
  
   
   
   
   
   
        
    
         
    
 

 
 

  

  

    

  
      

   

be law-abiding cltize~t.=L They would not
 so much as -smoke a cigarette! (No,
. ather’,—was the instantaneous response
from the Audience.) it s .'-n hm-i Wonder-
_ful!~ Why is ‘it? It is because I have Preach-
ed Christ in Words, but more so in deeds
and in actions, and I have put My Spirit
in them and am causing them to walk in
My’ Statutes. It is indeed Wonderful.

‘ Here is a Thought for ‘ consideration,
‘while .I am Speaking in the presence of
..the_great Statesmen. It is indeed Wonder-
ful; I Wish to Say, we want less bread lin-
ies. It is indeed Wonderful! We want less
, oup houses. We want less beggars on the
streets. But We want more work and more
I-industrytlt is indeed wonderful! We want
‘more trades, and we want more business.
?_That is what We are seeking for, and we
'must have it. It is indeed Wonderful! It is
Ta little unfortunate apparently, that I, in
My Connections, am feeding around twenty-
five hundred in and around New York
City only,——daily. I am Speaking about
‘FEEDING THEM ABSOLUTELY FREE.
'1 am feeding around twenty-five hundred,
 and around New York City, absolutely
ifree, yet I am not endorsing this act of
ichalfity as being the Fundamental. I am
-trying to get them out of the ruts, out of
‘e murks and mires of human slothful—
ess and impracticality. It is indeed Won-
erful! While they are unforunate to be
ut of ‘work, and out of money naturally,
will give them something to ea.t and a
place to sleep,—it is indeed Wonderful,———
-Flbut the great thing is for our Government
to give’ men work to do, and cause them to
A more practical, cause them to be more
ompetent, cause them to be more self-
.-3s1'1PP0rting and self—protecting. By so do-
g, we can lift up a standard of moral
etterment far above our fore-ancestors,
; far above those that have gone on before,
because we are here in this light of Ci-
:'v_'ilization where we should be able to lift
up a moral standard, and a moral Christian
Movement universally, above our pre-
' ecessors. It is indeed Wonderful!

._GOD WILL ‘PERMIT IT

It is such a privilege to live in this re-
nition. As I Say daily, I came to eradi-
te and dispel from our cities, and from
Hui‘ towns, and even from our Country, all
‘vice and crime of every kind, from the
highest Ofiicials down to the crap shoot-
“rs on the streets. It is indeed Wonderful!
is I will Do, if GOD will Permit, for it
permissible and I have permitted it.
‘In conclusion I wish to Say as I afore-
aid, they forced Me out into doing things
self. If men and women that are filling
"3 Office and the different Ocices of our
ty Government, and State, and Country,
lnot do that which is according to the

 
 

irlents, why we will work in a way, legal-
 . but we will accomplish it and compel
m to do it. It is indeed Wonderful!
,,We are not representing law-violations.
I can see it by My daily expression, by
4y Deeds, and by My Actions, the same as
 ht. There may be around ten thou-

  

vonstitution and according to the Amend-.

tder the sound of My Voice, but if it

 

were fifty thousand, they would be control-
led by the Spirit of Peace, and we would
not and do not, even so much as need a
policeman. Do you not see the great my-

stery of this great Universal Mind, and the

Spirit of Peace that has Dominion among
the people? Even the Cosmic of Nature,
they work in perfect harmony with Me.
On Sunday afternoon, by your honored
Leader, I endorsed his activities, and I
Said I WOULD have someone as a Rep-
resentative, in this Assembly and in thi.s
Demonstration of this Evening. It is indeed
Wonderful! But remember, I knew the
weather would be agreeable, as the weath-
er MUST obey. It is indeed Wonderful! The
Cosmic Forces of Nature, they must obey
Me. It is indeed VVonderful!
DO RIGHT IF YOU WANT TO STAY
But as your honored Speaker says, here,
unless the Officials cooperate with Me, I
will MOVE THEM OUT OF OFFICE. The
is exactly what I will do,, for ‘The Blood
has paid it all’.—the sacrifice of th.e Life,
counts. It has atoned for the establishment
of the Kingdom of GOD on Earth among
men, that the kingdom of this World might
come to an end, and that the Kingdom of
our GOD and His CV1.-a;'.. migh: have liti-
cess among them. (‘Yes F_ather’,—came the
mighty witnessing of the vast Audience.)
Peace everybody! There are many things
I could Say,, but time will not permit at

this juncture, as the time is well spent, ~

but I further wish to convey just this
Thought. Remember, I do not mean to say
that the Government and Governments of
our present Civilization, SHOULD BE nor
WOULD BE abolished, but they MULT be-
come to be the Kingdom of our GOD and
His Christ. John saw it, and he declared
it. He said,—‘The kingdoms of this World
have become the Kingdom of our GOD and
His Christ.’ It is indeed VVonderful! GOD
is not represented‘ as a Person, to Rule on
the Throne, but as a Principle, as the Fun-
damental, to get in your Officials,——this
man, and this man, and this Woman,——
(pointing to some of the ca:ndidates,)—to
Rule and Control the Government. If they

neglect to do that which is just and right,

I will move them out of office.

If these Officials and Candidates, if they
are elected, will fill the Offices accord-
ing to the Gospel, yea according to the
Scripture, then andthere I will Cooperate
with them, and Christ will Rule on the
Throne of their minds, and will make their
hearts His ‘abiding Home’. That is the my-
stery. This is the mystery! This is the
purpose for which I Came. and I_ have
around twenty million with Me. Right here
in New York City, and around New York
City. I think I have enough to bear wit-
ness of Me. It is indeed Wonderful!

LET CHRIST RULE

Christ should'Rule on the Throne of the
minds of men. I am not seeking an Office,
nor Honor as a Person, but as a Prin-
ciple I present Myself to the Inhabitants
of the Earth, that they too, as well as you,
might be partakers of this Identical,that
they might execute »a Righteous Judge-

ment, and Judge tine people with equity.

This is My»-avvork, this is My Mission. It
is indeed Wonderful!

Now take these Thoughts to considera-
tion. Live in this recognition, and the very
Spirit of My Presence will be with you in
your Official duties, if you will cooperate
with Me and deal justly according to our
Constitution. I would like to say in con»-
clusion,—The Assembly here this Evening,
as I ‘Said to Professor Hamid on Sunday
afternoon when we met for the interview,
after the invitation to Speak here this
Evening,-—I Said, I will see if‘ I can get
a few to cooperate with Me. It is indeed
Wonderful! I will Speak the Word, and ten
thousand will respond immediately. It is
indeed Wonderful! It is because they have
an abundance of Faith in Me. It is indeed
Wonderful! That is why they say, ‘GOD
Alone shall Reign’.

Goo MAKES THINGS RIGHT
We know we have the victory over all
adversities. All negative and- slanderous
statements and adverse advertising, only
establish Me. Every knock is a boost, every
criticism is a Praise. The masses of the
people know what I am Doing for them.
They know I have brought to them a new
Day. and freed them as never before.

I further wish to Say in connection with
My Work, I don't care if you are a mil-
lionaire, you can live in the City of New
York, if you are willing to be meek enough
to cooperate with this Movement, for from
five to ten dollars a week at the most. I
have m.ade the Way possible. that men can
live in this City for as small an amount
as "five dollars a week, or five-fifty a week,
——live independantly, without solicitation,
without begging, but paying the prices for
whatsoever theyieat. I Thank you.

“Peace everybody! I would just like to
say, we have" in hand a Publication kno
as The Spoken Word. It is a Commercial
Paper published in California, not by My
Representative but by the California Eagle.
They are publishing this Paper _carrying
My Message. It is a Commercial Paper,
and they are selling it. I am not Personal-
ly selling itfbut they sell this Paper for
five cents a copy. I purchased a quantity,
and I had Thought of giving them out to-
night. I brought them over for the purpose
of giving them as a free distribution to the
Public, but owing to the fact that the
Leader and Guider of this Meeting,—«as
this was not My Meetinig in part,-—~—did not
take up a collection in respect for Me, I
have decided to give him these “Papers, as
many as we have here, to give out free,
and allow him to sell them to help pay as
much as it will, in paying for the rent of
this Auditorium.

Now you all know I never take a col-
lection. I have not asked a man to give Me
a penny, and even if a. person sends Me
money as a bill, through the mail, I im-
mediately return it. It is indeed Wonder-
ful! These are facts and figures too stout
to be denied, and it can be verified by the
Officials of this City and other Cities,
that have made investigation. I Thank
you.”._ ‘ ' ‘

WE SILLY IMORTALS
F0O'IlBALL GAMES AND RADIOS

A radio blares blatantly into our some-
what unresponsive ears the account of a
football game. Thousands of people huddle
around a little mahogany box from which
pours the sound of an excited voice giving
a seemingly endless array of figures and
statistics. Now and then the monotonous
cadences are punctuated with a high pitched
and agitated account of some particularly
thrilling occurence, amplified considerably
by the imagination of the announcer.

We remember K-oftimessitting in huge
stadiums filled with from fifty to a hundred
thousand leather lunged, pop-eyed, humans
to cheer the antics of a small knot of men,
baely- visible, as through a microscope, down
on the greensward below. As the game
progressed we generally managed by some
expedient to create for ourselves an atmos-
phere of rather artifical. enthusiasm, con-
vinced ourselves before the end of the af-
fair that we were really vitally concerned
in the result and had in truth enjoyed a
huge afternoon. The mere presence of a
great crowd of people, the tireless efforts
of the band with its ear-splitting prepon-
derance of brass, the general color, etc.,
made it the thing for us to do.

After the shouting is over, the result de-
termined, there is the 1etdown—the feeling
of something yet to be experienced or felt
which seems to be always, like the grapes in
the case of the fox, just beyond our reach.
The great game Passes into the discard of
forgotten things, the only reminder being a
set of cold, meaningless, statistics. Like
sheep the populace follow a will of the wisp,
seek to create an atmosphere of emotion,
to build something to engage their attention
as a means of diversion. The futility of it
all lies in the eiiort to create something,
magnify man’s importance physically to a de-
gree far beyond its actual significance. In-
dividuals are idolized because of some ap-
parent physical prowess greater than that
of another, a prowess which is for the most
part, empty and unprofitable other than for
the moment.

Sitting in the dark, millions watch in
theatres, some shadows jumping about on
a screen. Photographic images resembling
humans appear to be doing all manner of
things, going through every manner of ex-
perience, indulging in dialogue of an arti-
ficial and inane nature, all part of the
created, pageant of life, the desperate
search for diversion, distraction, a glit-
tering glamour of unreality that life does
not and never can offer. They come to see
the images on the screen as so real that
they experience literally and actually the
feelings and emotions of the characters
before them. And so continues the cease-
less quest of man to entertain himself.

The glamour of life as portrayed on the
silver sheet, the artificial emotional stimu-
lus built up at a sporting event, is the ex-
act opposite of the real, the genuine, the
true state of existence. These artificial di-

versions are but a counterfeit of .the real.
Entertainment by proper appreciation and
understanding of the mystery of life, di-
version attained through discovery of the
TRUTH, is an ever‘ present reality brought
about through no effort of creation. True
values and likewise diversion do not have
to be created.

When the TRUTH is understood univer-
sally, the great crowds will still gather,
the music will still swell upon the air, hu-
mans will still engage in spirited activity,
but the element of competition, the false
sense of glamour created by a procedure
essentially wrong in principle, will have
been relegated to the discard where it real-
ly belongs. People will really LIVE, will
be vitally and radiantly happy every min-
ute of their existence, without the slight-
est effort at creation of a diversion. The di-
version will just BE. The aftermath, the
eventual contact with the stern reality of
our present warped and futile pattern of
living, which is the ‘great void’ in our
present activities, will be no more.

The instinct of humans to get together
in fellowship, to congregate together in
throngs is a true one, and commendable.
The scene of action, the form of drama be-
ing enacted on the stage will be changed,
with none of the true pleasures and joys
removed. Let all the world sing, dance,
engage in lively activity, but in the way
which GOD decreed.

The little mahogany box, known as the
radio, is one of GOD'S gifts to mankind,
as a medium of expression. As a medium
of expression it will be glorified and uti-
lized as .a true channel. Instead of the
jangle of inanities which pour from it to-
day, the mass of inconsequential drivel,
will come forth the beautiful, the real, and

.the uplifting. For even the radio cannot

escape the great transforming influence

now abroad in the land.’

I AM the Broadcasting Principle of Life.

It was the Spirit of that most important
Attribute or Characteristic of Mary that
went out from Jesus when the woman
touched the hem of the garment and that
was the healing balm for the woman, yea
it is the healing balm for the whole world.

we thank FATHER DIVINE that we
feel that we are entitled to bring to your
attention the fact that in the list of
those Missions or places carrying on
the required activities this little Mrs-
sion was not mentioned. As per your
note at the finish of the list we want to
be included with those who have the
addresses listed, especially for the bene-
fit of those in California or visiting Cal-
ifornia. This little Extenson is having
meetings every night except Saturday

them and caring for them with our
Father Divine as head and guide. He
is absolutely in charge and we are en-
deavoring to live exactly as He advises.
Since opening this Extension of FA-

of the Kingdom of GOD His children
who live here and have given themselves
over to the service of Father Divine
have been wonderfully blessed. We
praise and love our Father Divine and
to do as He wishes is our only aim.
We thank Father to find our place
listed in the next issue possible.
Enclosed is the testimony of a sister
who received the song from Father to
prove that He is GOD and that GOD
could come in a body. It is sung to the
tune of “Onward Christian Soldiers”.

VAC recent report of aigroup of California
Scientists disclosed-the ‘discovery of vast
caves believed to be part of a subterranean
“honeycomb,” extending from Nevada
across Southern California to~Mexico, cav-
erns rivaling the famed Carlsbad Caverns of
New Mexico.

Whilethe. discovery of these caverns of in-
calculable spread reaching out in every di-
rection for a distance as yet undetermined,
is of very recent date, the existance of some
of the caves may have been known to Indian
tribes or even to prehistoric peoples who
rovedthis great expanse of open country
many hundreds of years ago.

The exploration party of geologists gained
access to the caverns through a hole in
the earth very near the peak of a limestone
mountain at an altitude of 6000 feet. Queer
formations of metamorphosed limestone,
sandstone and shale dating back to the
Paleozoic Age surround the cavern’s mouth.
Great heaps of schist, granite and gneiss,
remnants of the Mesozoic Age are piled
around and partially over the gas vent, while

deposits of; lakewsand and chemical salts

were foundat lower levels. _ , ,__

By dropping 200 feet by a rope through a’
narrow crevice the party reached the
larger rooms where stalactites and stalag-
mites were found in abundance, some sta1ac—
tites measuring 20 ’ feet and of unsurpassed
beauty.

-While the bewildering labyrinth as yet has
been only partially explored, in the lower

reaches; many_ spacious natural rooms were

some of thesermore than 50 feet
square. In many of the chambers stalactites
hang from the ceiling 30 feet high. The
largest room found as yet is 300 feet by 100
feet and 90' feet high.

found,

Rushing winds and the rumble of unseen
water support the contention that some to"-
rential hidden river has burrowed a subter-
rannean channel.

According to geologists, the entire region
is of convulsive origin. Some believe its
formation due to volcanic action, others
claim earthquakes or some unknown un-
derground convulsion of tremendous force,
to be responsible. A volcanic crater, des-

cribed as having been active as recently as
1000 years ago,‘ exists near Amboy, some
60 miles from the caverns. I

The “new” caves‘ are quite accessable to
tourists as..they lie near the Nevada state

line,‘just inside San Bernardino County.
U. S. Highway No. 66 may be taken to
Essex. Near ‘ Essex a ‘turn is made onto a
dirt road which winds 28 miles to the moun-
tainous section just off the resert inwhish

the caves are located.

The great wonders of the world are not
yet known to mankind as this discovery in-
dicates and as we turn away from our quest
of gold_ and cease to worship the “golden
calf” as we did when we were with Moses,
wonders beyond present human imagination
will be revealed. ‘The Great Creative
FATHER has so many marvelous things
for His Children to view and enjoy, it might
be wisdom for all whether Christian or not,
to look to the SOURCE of all things and

truly live. It might also be added that one
can never tell from the “surface” what is
underneath.

(BY A. K. L.)

In the wide open spaces of the great wes-
tern empire of this country, and in divers
other places throughout the world, appears
something that intrigues the imagination of
almost everyone. That something is the
mirage. The dictionary describes a mirage
as, “an optical atmospheric illusion by which
the image of a distant object is seen as if
inverted.” How many of us have been driv-
ing along on a warm day and beheld water
on a dry road or lakes in the distance?

One of the most interesting developments
in the study of this phenomenon is the abili-
ty to photograph the mirage. This was ac-
complished by two herdsmen in Hungary-
On the plains of Hungary it is nothing un-
usual to see a distant village, herds of cattle,
men, trees, buildings, etc., and nature so
magnifies the images that they appear to be
only a short distance away.

The pictures mentioned were not taken by
scientists, although many have tried, but by
the herders of swine. The herdsmen Watched
with due respect as the learned men came
from Budapest, with their expensive cam-
eras, but after a few days they had to go
back without a glimpse, much less a photo-
graph of the famous “visions” that used to
throw their ancestors into religious ecstasies
and terror.

Two of the herdsmen bought small, cheap
cameras, and succeeded because they were
always there. The great flat almost treeless
plains, called “Pusztas” get very monoton-
ous to these people who welcome the fre-
quent but unpredictable appearances in the
sky. They have become experts at recog-
nizing these apparitions of things that are
more than a day’s journey away-

This type of mirage works on the same
principle as the glass lens or prism, like the
trick, water has, of making an oar that is
stuck into it seem bent. When light passes
from a light, transparent substance to a
denser one, at an angle, the rays bend in the
direction of the denser medium. There are
some exceptions, certain substances though
lighter in weight, are “denser optically.”
Cold air, being denser than warm, acts to a
degree as glass does, causing astonishing
things to happen. '

Often, the mist never develops into any-
thing else because it is only an apparent
accident when the air layers happen to be
just right. When they do, perhaps the first
to appear is a dark blurred object, like a
vehicle seen through a poorly focussed tele-
scope. The herdsmen find amusement gues-
sing what the image is to be. Sometimes it
looks as if it will be the Doctor’s car. But
when the vision becomes clearer, it reveals
the shimmering outlines of Mrs. So and
So’s carriage and two horses. And they
wonder why she does not buy a car, for
she has so much money. Then again, it may
be a soundless train of cars, travelling
through the heavens, perhaps right side up,

 

r as   

perhaps bottom side up and puffing smoke
downward from the stack. The herdsmen
know they will have to travel all day to get
within real sight or sound of that phantom
train.

Another remarkable photograph is an
Alaskan mirage, taken by Mr. Lyman R.
French. Above the barren glacier appeared
clear and distinct, aspectral city, with well
laid streets,_ trees, buildings and what ap-
peared to be ancient mosques or cathedrals
Such a city might in Asia. These mirages
are common, only in certain parts of the
world, but they can and doubtless do hap-
pen anywhere.

The writer has driven many times over
the Ariz. desert and has experienced these
visions- Oftimes a gleaming ship will ap-
pear, and again a sailing vessel spread in
all its glory. Once a dim city appeared
among the sage brush and cactus, a city as
in ancient times such as the writer had
never seen even in pictures. It almost made
one imagine they were living in an unseen
world or that they had always lived and
were just approaching some familiar place.

As sailing vessels are somewhat rare these
days and as the vessel mentioned was of
ancient vintage, here is indeed food for
thought. In the book of Ezekial it tells us
“That which Was IS and that which is to be
now IS.” What a small, insignificant being
mortal man really is in his present limited
state of consciousness. Small wonder he
suffers from lack, depression, sorrow, dis-
ease, and death in his limited and narrow
idea of God’s glorious world.

When we finally reach that high state of
consciousness, and realize that God is now
here, to teach and lead us out of limitations
01 all descriptions. His wondrous world will
be revealed to us. Then we will actually
see these so-called mirages. We will travel
through space at a now inconceivable rate of
speed, because the veil ‘will be lifted and we
will see, act, and think as God first intended
we should when He created‘ man to have
dominion over all the land. It is so Wonder-
ful, so colossal, that those of His children
who LISTEN and accept wh.at Father is
now offering us, will behold this New Heav-

en and New Earth with its hidden myster-

ies revealed, for the former things (including
limitation) will have passed away!

Case of‘Undei-world Character __________________ __

‘In these days of dwindling profits and
apparent business stagnation, the big busi-
ness man can take a leaf from the book of
Faithful Mary. Formerly a character of
the underworld, without either education or
the least business experience, hardly able to
read or write, she has today under her im-
mediate jurisdiction a “Divine business,”

‘which might well be the admiration of any

captain of industry. .

Less than nineteen months ago Faithful
Mary was staggering about the streets of
the Fourth Precinct in Newark, New Jersey,
a hopeless drunkard. Today she has under
her jurisdiction nine extensions, numerous
busses and automobiles, the supervision of
hundreds, an income which belies “hard
times. With an apparent ease, lack of ef-
fort, the mighty work of reclaiming Har-
lem, is being done by Father Divine, thru
this most humble servant, with an efficiency
which is a striking example to business
men, an economic “miracle,” as it were.
Few of the business executives who scurry
about the streets of the metropolis are aware
of the drama being enacted right under their
very noses! _

The work being carried on through Faith-
ful Mary, with headquarters at 160 West
126th Street, New York City, is not dore
for the purpose of profit, and gain is en-
tirely lost in the greater mission and joy of

‘ serving the seemingly unfortunate. In the

City of Newark, N. J., before her transfer
of activities to New York, Faithful Mary fed
96,000 of the hungry, absolutely free, in the
same streets in which she had obtained
her food from garbage cans. Now in N. Y.
City no estimate is available of the increased
number being fed daily there. It is conser-
vative to say that it is in the neighborhood
of a hundred thousand or more a year with
the number steadily mounting. And thlt
without the taking of collections or do-
nations in any form!

To those possessing sufficient money to
purchase their own meals, dinners are avail-
able for ten and fifteen cents, an amount
hardly ‘able, apparently, to cover the cost of
the meals. The meat bill frequently runs
$100 and $140 a day, on a few occasions
where large banquets were served such as
at White Plains, it has been as high as $500
for the day. This isialways paid for in cash
at the time of delivery, which is only another
surprising feature of the “Divine business.”
The menu generally consists of chicken
daily and it has always been the policy to
make the portions generous. It is indeed a
far cry‘ to the day when Faithful Mary
scratched about in the garbage can for a
morsel of food.

There are nine extensions under the di-
rection of Faithful Mary. The total rent of
all nine places amounts to about one thou-
sand dollars a month. It is a source of

A mystification to Harlem banks to observe-

months in advance when business concerns
find it difficult to meet even their smallest
obligations on time, if at all. ‘Even the
merchants of the locality have developed a
wholesome respect for this former -charac-
ter of the underworld and call heriwhen -they
need employees knowing the competence
and reliability of FATHER ;.DIVINE’S

followers. They have not failed to notice ' .
either the success and efficiency with which -.

her “business” is carried on.-' -I -« -

The case of Faithful Mary demonstrates
beyond doubt, as do the other true exten-
sions of FATHER DIVINE that it is an
economic factor as well as aispiritual reality,
which is commanding rapidly the attention
of the entire world.’ The peculiar’ “law”
which makes it possible for one to replace
the profit in business with the ideal of ser-
vice, letting GOD or the “law” give the in-
evitable increase, makes it possible the suc-
cess of business conducted along such lines.
But there are many other evidences of effi-
ciency and wisdom visible throughout these
extensions-

In the basement of the 126th St. Ex-
tension is a bakery shop, where pies and
cakes may be enjoyed- There is a tailor
shop where suits are pressed and cleaned
for 25 and 30 cents. Upstairs is a barber-
shop where a follower makes himself profit-
able by cutting hair for ten cents. A seam-
stress works on the second floor constantly
turning aut half dozen dresses a day for the
occupants of the Kingdom. Six or seven
sisters make four or five quilts a day for the
hundreds of beds in the different extensions.
All working happily, peacefully, contentedly,
with the joy of rendering a practical ser-
vice. Their profit isitheir satisfaction and
pleasure at the opportunity of helping their
brother and sister. Four and five hundred
yards of cloth are sometimes purchased from
which sheets and pillow cases are made.

Who says GOD is not a practical GOD, a

Vb

tangible reality here and now?

We could go on indefinitely about the
wonderful little world surrounding Faithful
Mary but space does not permit. .

Last February she was able to send
bus to California and return filled with fol-
lowers of FATHER DIVINE. Outside
the extensions in New York can often be
seen several of the trucks or busses, private
cars and limousines, at her service. All this
has been accomplished and given to her
without the personal intercedence of
FATHER DIVINE, without his doing any-
thing for her directly, as a person. It was
obedience to His Spirit and Teaching which
brought to Faithful Mary the limitless bless-
ings she now enjoys. Her amazing healing
came about before she had as much spoken
to FATHER DIVINE as a person.

When anyone tries to compliment Faithful
Mary on her great success and number of
blessings she merely smiles an innocent,

childlike, smile and shrugs her generous 
ehoulders admitting that she doesn't know

 

   

‘ -w

how it all came about except that she
just stepped aside and let it.

All honor and glory for the resurrection
and elevation, of Faithful Mary goes ‘to
FATHER’ :DI_VINE. The“; wisdom and
knowledge being -transmitted through that
channel‘ .is His. Coincident to the great
growth of the FATHER DIVINE move-
ment and its ;increasing importance in the
news, this_business picture of the Move-
ment may be'timely..- V

ABE"S I:-IIGHEST INUITION

The following two unpublished anecdotes
in the life of Abraham Lincoln speak vol-
umes. Under Lincoln and a member of his
cabinet during his administration, was
Secretary of State Seward.

Now Seward was a. well. educated man
while Lincoln had no education other than
that which he had been able to gain nim-

_ self in his homespun way. Lincoln had writ-

ten an important address to Congress
which he had shown to Seward before pre-

0 senting it to that body. After examining it

Seward stated that, “the grammar is poor
and might bear improvement.” Whereupon,
Lincoln replied, “Well you’re an educated
man, l.ook it over, and correct it. I only
want the meaning and significance made
clear.” A

That night Seward took the address
home with the intentions of revisisnig It.
The next morning, however, he returned to
the White House, bleary eyed and showing
the evidences of a heavy night. Lincoln
encountering him asked, “Did you fix up
the address?” Somewhat weakly, Seward
answered, “No. I spent the entire night
trying to change it but THAT’S THE
ONLY WAY IT CAN BE EXPRESSED.”

Another amusing story told about the
great emancipator during the Civil War
tells of how Lincoln had gathered his cab-
inet of eight men togethcrto discuss a
subject on which a decision needed to be
made immediately. To choose wrongly
mighty mean defeat. After the discussion
was over, Lincoln took the poll of the cab-
inet to determine where they stood. Eight
of the members ‘voted “aye” but Lincoln
voted “nay”.

But announcing the result of the poll
Lincoln said, “The vote stands eight
“ayes” .and one “nay” and the “nays” have
it. The cabinet members felt that he was
somewhat high handed to take his mini-
mum stand against such an overwhelming-
ing majority but before the day had closed
they learned that Lincolns decision had
saved the day.

This unswerving determination to
stand for right in the face of any odds
is an eloquent testimony of the value of
using your own ‘highest intution’ in all
things.

BY THE PEOPLE, TO -THEIR PRESIDENT, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT,
AND TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES, WASHINGTON, D. C.

GREETINGS:

The undersigned does hereby 5°l°m"ly proclaim his Declaration of Economic Independence and Security, as follows: Down thru the ages, despite the malad-
iustments of human experience, we recognize and aeknowlede the PERPETUAL FLOW OF ALL LIGHT, ALL HEAT AND ALL POWER FROM THE ONE
SUPREME SOURCE OF ITS CREATION AND EXISTENCE. To this originating Principle and Omni Science, we are indebted for the very presence of life
itself. the will to live, the human intelligence, every natural resource, every material substance and every mental or spiritual ability‘ ever demonstrated by or
known to man. We assert that every system or device that Operates, 0|’ that may be operated, to the satisfaction of man, derives both its virtue and its power
from the veritatfle Nature of the Universe and that such devices are the demonstrated evidence of the practical scientific reality of that power; contra.rl-
wise, we conclude that whatever fails to deliver satisfaction in accord with the demands of humanity must be erroneous, impractical and invalid. By virtue
of these facts, every proposition designed to bolster or support the present unsatisfactory and unscientific financial structure must be foredoomed to failure.
Such proposals merely postpone the date of financial collapse; they but serve to continue the present inhuman distress and perpetuate the present economic
chaos which rocks the people of our Nation, from the least of us to the greatest. The physical existence of abundant supplies is the gift of Nature, to
which is applied the natural efforts and the intelligence of man. We cannot escape the proposition that the actual basis of value for goods, services, money,
credit and the socalled wealth of the World is humanity itself. It is obvious that all evidences of material wealth, available to or produced by man

‘ must be made use of by man and that such productions can have no other use or value. Practically any desirable amounts of goods, services, or material

wealth may be produced to meet the public demand thereof. Accordingly it is desirable that all actual, possible and anticipated production of goods or
other forms of material wealth shall find adequate and equitable distribution among all the people. Therefore, we the people of The United States of America,
in accord with and by virtue of our right under the Constitution thereof, do ‘hereby command, that there be -set in motion immediately, a mechanism, precise-
ly designed and herein specified as UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DATED-PURCHASE-MONEY, to equitably distribute that wealth according to the
following requirements. That the money income of every Citizen and of the Government of the United States on and after January 1, 1935 shall be ex-
pressed in terms of UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DATED-PURCHASE-MONEY issued by the Treasurer of the United States upon the basis of, and
maintained in, constant balance with available goods and services so that at‘ no time thereafter shall there be either more goods than money or more
money than goods outstanding. It is further required that all productive equipment, productive land, transportation facilitiesland the entire ,wealth pro-
ducing and distributing capacity within the boundaries and the iurisdiction of the United States of America and its possessions, shall forthwith be operated
at full demand capacity, continuously and at the highest possible rate of efficiency-; and that as many capable people as there are jobs to be done shall
be chosen and assigned to the tasks of planning, supervising, coordinating, maintaining and improving this whole productive capacity in the public interest;
trhat the total number of hours of human effort necessary to carry on at full pace shall be distributed evenly over the total number of capable people
available for that purpose so that there shall be no imposition upon or neglect of any person or groups of persons; that each and every person, separately
and individually, regardless of age, race, creed, sex or vocation and regardless Of employment of Unemployment, ability or disability shall be provided, by
t_he Treasurer of the United States, with UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DATED-PURCHASE-MONEY by which he or she may obtain at will, his or her
equitable quota of the goods, services, comforts, entertainment, conveniences and luxuries that are produced and available; that all persons male or female
over twenty—five years of age and not over forty-five shall be classified for assignment to productive employment and subject to call when, if and as needed:
that persons over forty-five years of age shall be classified as retired and not subject to call for productive work except in case of emergency. They may
however, work ifthey so desire. Persons under twenty-five years of age ‘shall be classified as minors or students, not subject to call for productive work
except in case of emergency. The quota of goods or services available to each and every person shall be established, not upon any basis of service rendered,
but upon his or her signified willingness to render his or her apportionment of service, when if and as such services are required. The quote of goods or
services so established shall be the allowable maximum, determined periodhaily by actual production statistics and allocated to each and every man, woman
and child, according to age, classification and an amount of UNITED STATES G0V2ERNl‘viE.NT DATED-PURCHASE-MONEY equivalent to such quota shall
be issued and paid regularly, from birth throughout his or her life, to each person on the first day of every month by the Treasurer of the United States.
except that his full quota shall not be paid to any able person who shall refuse or neglect to properly render his proportioned service. It is required that

his particular money shall represent that person’s individual quota and that it be surrendered by him in exchane for available goods or services according to.

his particular choice. It shall be mechanically impossible for any person to spend, manipulate or otherwise make use of any other person’s4money' or
goods-availability. Each issue of UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DATED-PURCHASE-MONEY shall bear a one year's expiration date. Money so issued and
not spent or used on or before its particular expiration date shall be null and void thereafter. It is further required that ample reserves of raw materials

and finished goods be set aside before other distribution, to offset possible later d°ll°l°“°l°5 Wlllch might OGGUI’ by reason Of dl'0U9l'It. fife eafthquake. flood ,

or other unforseen failures of production or distribution and to provide for exchanges with other Countries whose goods and services or travel accommo-dations
we may require. It is required that the past five year net average money income of those few persons now in possession of large holdings shall forthwith be
converted into the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DATED-PURcHASE-MONEY equivalent thereof and that such amounts shall be guaranteed and paid
to them annually for life by the Treasurer of the United States according to the express will of the people as herein set forth. It is pro-posed that the
present owners of industrial plants and/or other real property retain title to and management of such holdings, if they so desire, on condition that such
properties be operated at full demand capacity production and efficiency in the public interest. it is understood that these comparatively few guaranteed
excess incomes constitute valid claims against available goods. but that with the Nation operating at full production capacity such excess incomes can be
paid with ease and still allow an immediate minimum goods wealth quota for every other person over twenty-five years of age equivalent to not less than
one thousand dollars per month per capita. Under the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DATED-PURCHASE-MONEY mechanism herein set forth, the rights
of real property, such as individual home ownership, church ownership and/or corporate enterprise need not and must not be cancelled or threatened.
It is self evident that the exchange value of UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DATED-PURCHASE-MONEY in terms of goods or services will graduate
upward in direct proportion to the increase of productive capacity such as invention, discovery, favofable weather and the expansion of Industry, acreage or
mine. Downward variations cannot occur except in the event of adverse weather conditions,‘ negligence, mis-management, sabotage or destruction by fire or

other violence. It is specificially required that UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT DATED-PURCHASE MONEY shall be issued in exact proportion to the

total number of people in the United Slates and in exact ratio to the total amounts of goods and services therein produced. Non-transferable UNITED

A About twelve years ago, in the little
town of Sayville, Long Island, Rev. M. J.

V Divine, better known to his millions of be-

lievers as FATHER DIVINE, set up a
table in the midst ofhis enemies and in-
‘vited hisfriends to dine.

From near and far, they came to enjoy
his hospitality" and partake of the abun-
dance of good things at his table, which
was free. Time passed and the “world beat
a path to his door.”

A grapevine perhaps grew from a neigh-
bor’s yard, overlapping into that of FA-
THER, figuratively speaking, the residents
of the little village thought they resented
the presence of this meek and lowly indi-
vidual. The events which followed are
known to’ all—-the court proceedings, the
‘demise of the judge, the complete and pow-
rerful victory of FATHER DIVINE

I over his adversaries! '

The little town went on about its routine
;'life, the rancor still present in the hearts
of some. But “a city that is built on a hill

cannot be hid,” and the world called this

J ' individual, known as the Rev. M. J. Divine,

‘forth to assume before all, HIS MIGHTY
OFFICE. '

The. visitor today to the town of Sayville
will .still _find 4the"‘residence of FATHER

.DIVINE at 72 Macon Street, While his ac-

 . tivities have now become world wide, FA-

THER still repairs ‘now ,_and again to the
unassuming but spacious SAYVILLE
home. But the effort to‘ drive FATHER DI-
VINE from Sayville, in the Fall of 1931,
has had its repercussions. From one of the
‘most prosperous villages on Long Island,

H. ‘Sayville is rapidly becoming decadent, its

lands desolate. Little did the blind inhabi-
7 almost within a

stone’s throw, of New York, realize that

- ‘they were rejecting the one who was later
‘»_to_. be acclaimed by twenty millions as the

..personification of GOD in the Fathership
Degree according to .the prophecy of Re-

f -velation 21:3, 4, “Behold the tabernacle of
’ GOD .is with men.” Instead of repressing
 his. activities, the attempt to do so, was
Lifmerely a means of establishing a world-
.'”wide movement. '

SAPOLITICAL MEETING BECOMES

1  1 A letter received from _a San Francisco

correspondent tells of an interesting oc-

. ‘-curence at a recent political meeting held
* ‘there. It seems an invitation was receiv-
 ed by some of FATHER DIVINE’S follow-
fleirs, from the headquarters of one of tile
,’.*pro'minent candidates for Governor, to at-
ffltend a meeting. Seats were reserved for
some ‘two hundred and our friend tells

us that ere the evening elapsed songs of
" praise to FATHER DIVINE as well as
testimonies were given. At the conclusion
of the meeting, numbering about twenty-

V- " five hundred attendance, the FATHER
[DIVINE followers were invited to a. ban-
