VAdopting most of the proposals submitted by the FATHER DI- VINE Peace Mission Movement and endorsed by FATHER DIVINE, the Resolutions Comittee presented probably the most pro- gressive and powerful platform ever considered and adopted by a‘ politi- cal party, to date. Naturally, the resolutions and the platform were unanimously accepted, but not un- til a heated discussion concerning the name of the party took place in which numerous members of Ea- the Divine’s Delegation entered the fray to change from the then, "All Harlem Party.” Pointing out that by using ,“l-lar- lem" the party would be limiting itself and segregating itself from the other boroughs and sections of New York, Mr. A. Honaeel, the edi- tor of the “Spoken Word,” moved to adopt as the name of this par- ty, a title" that would include all and exclude none, namely, “The All—People’,s Party." A ‘burst of ap- plause greeted tfhe motion, and it was carried by an overwhelming majorty. V I Among the resolutions adopted was an Anti-lynching Bill practical- ly identical to Father Divine’s; a bill to amend the immigration laws I the foreign born from civil rights in the U. 6.; and bills to drastically reduce the price of ccimvmodities and rent. .A Alarge delegation of Father .

Daniels of Eagle Lake, Fla., Editor of the Bible ' Echo, brings out Valuable“ information through 4 numerous questions NTERVIEW WITH FATHER DI- VINE BY REV. E. J. DANIELS, EDITOR, THE BIBLICAL ECHO, EAGLE LAKE," FLA. Spreading * like wild-fire through the Land, and conveyed to the ends" of_ the Earth on the wings of Di- vine Power some years ago, went a Wonderful story from the lﬁttle Vil- lage of Sayville, Long Island. It was the story of Him ‘Who daily spread a. great Banquet Table and served all comers’ gratis, Teaching Truths that had been hid from the Sages; Healing the sick, Giving sight to the blind, and Raising the dead: and Doing it all -as a free gift, in the _ time of the greatest depression the *lvor1d has ever. known, yet refusing gifts, donations, or "iinancial sup- port gvof any kind, and‘ refraining from all publicity. ’ ' ' Even while the story was being told, many said within themselves, and some expressed it openly with- out seeing,—fWhy «this is the CHRIST, and" many were healed of supposedly in- curable diseases. Thousands, from all parts of ‘the world, on the other- hand, went to Sayville to see for themselves. and seeing they believed, and all their old lives of vice and crime. sorrow and worry, lacks, wants and limitations, fell away, and they becairne new creatiires, living in Heaven on Earth. Every honest investigator found the ‘story to be true, and the Name A of FAJEHER Drvmn, though it had ‘instantaneously ’ long been known to some, because a by-word, on every tongue. They saw Him sit and stand -at the Ban- quet Table from early’ morning un- til late at night, serving thousands free. Experts figured that in the "course of a. year‘ He must serve nearly a million meals, and this had been (going on for several years. Much -more than feeding five thousand once, as JESUS had done. He was feeding thousands daily, with unheard of Abundance that in- creased instead of decreased. ’ Itwas therefore easy for even the most skeptical to see that He was in a greater Degree than JE- SUS, and was no longer the Son but the FATHER. It came to the attention of many that in the Son- ship Degree He had Said the King- dom of Heaven would be like a man that spread agreat Supper, and al- so that when He came again on Earth, He would gird Himself and sit down and serve them, and the servants would be the guests at, the Banquet Table. This was exactly what they saw in Sayville. In fact, any part of the Gospel theycould think of, they saw fulfilled. before their eyes. Thousands had received the Wit- ness within, however, that He was GOD Almighty in Bodily Form. The thousands soon became millions; and every one of them Loved the Holy Body, of IFAT-‘HER 'D1'VINE, there: fore New York City became His Headquarters, to more easily ‘ac- commodate theni. Like 2. great 0011- " I Page '4 tagion, this recognition swept over the world, until _ today more than twenty-«two million in practically every Civilized Country in the world, have received this recognition, that FATHER DIVINE is GOD, and He is daily proving Himself to them to BE GOD. Naturally, Writers, Leaders, Teachers, Public Offici'als,'Politicians, and those of every walk of life, coming from all parts of the world, seek to interview FATHER from many different angles. It is impos- sible to accommodate all of them, but one of those favored recently, was Rev. E. J. Daniels, Editor of The Biblical Echo, Eagle Lake, Flo- rida, whose interview is recorded herewith for the instruction and in- formation of many: QUESTION by Interviewer:—‘How long has this work been going on FATHER DIVINE,——this Peace Movement, I believe that is what you term it, asta Peace Movement?’ ANSWER by FATHER:—“Yes, it ‘ is commonly known as FATHER. DI- VINE’»S PEACE MISSION MOVE— ' IVIENT.” QUESTION:——‘It has been going on for a good many years?’ ANSWER:——-“Yes.” QUESTION :—‘Well there is a .question,—of course it isn't vital,—— but I wondered how long, how it . came about that You had this Con- sciousnes of coming as the CHRIST. If I understand it correctly You be- lieve You are JESUS back in a New Dispensation to establish Your Gov- ernment of Righteousness and Peace. Is that correct?’ ANSWER:——“If you listen to the different testimonies you will get the Belief of the Masses. It isn’t so much’ what one may believe himself especially, , or what one may say whichever, but it is what one actual- " ly is. So I do not bear record of My- self as a rule according to the flesh, but as ‘the unfoldment of the Spir- it and the Work takes place in the lives and among the children of men, they usually observe it accord- ing to the way it is revealed to them. Of course it would be betterl think, if you would cover any of these Meetings, not so much for what I Say Personally especially, but what you would actually hear, see and know as facts that you can verify of what you have ‘experien- The “sroigniv wean” ced since coming in contact with , Me.” INTERVIEWER: \’ ‘Well that is my purpose in coming up here. I felt «that way, that the best knowl- edge I could get would be to come and see, because You know how it is, you can hardly hear anything iexactly right.’ FATHER:——“One thought as a rule, has somewhat come to be em- barrassing for the Reporters or Re- presentatives of the Papers as well as for Myself, if they follow ‘the general trend of thought concern- ing Me and My Mission. Firstly, I am Living in a World with the rec- ognition of the ALLNESS of .GOD and the nothingness of matter,— nothing less than the recognition of- one humanity.” ‘ INTERVIEWER:——‘Wel1, I believe in that.’ FATHER:——“One human race! But the average ‘ person they come in the very beginning, in the 0PP05ite- 'Dhey seek something to draw a line of demarcation’ apparently.” INTERVIEWER:-‘Yes, peoples.’ ~ - FATHER:-——“Yes, and when this is done“ it is an expression of segregation for the purpose of deterioration, for ‘the Pl11‘P°3e of deteriorating the general thoughts concerning the Message or the Work. For this cause I feel somewhat unconcerned at times to talk with the average person. 108- cause of such. I have ‘striven to re- frain from publicity for years and years, until it, just came up as an‘ issue apparently, after which I gave in and allowed Myself to be spoken of. I would give the Truth concern- ing the ‘Mystery and concerning the Work whichever, but the majority of the Writers endeavored to place some sort of an ;emb'arra-ssing ex- pression on the minds of the people concerning My Mission.” M INTERVIEWER:—‘I have read your Paper The ‘Spoken Word, and I agree with You on the color and creed, that certainly GOD could not be in any'race,—that I know. That is true, and I think You are right there. I also -agree in "that we need some radical change in our Govern- - ment. The present rule is not at all what I would ‘term to be Right- eous. I know it is not, because lin- godliness is trampant. I know that. between Tuesday, June 23rd,_ 1936 Of course if » You would rather that I cover that, —” —’ A FATI-IER:—“It is all right.” IN'I‘ERVIEWER:—‘Now the first time CI-IRIS'I‘ came in the. world, He came Born of a Virgin didn’t He. Now the second time You came, you came did You, through some medium as He did before, or was it a direct coming out of the Heavens? I have wonde-red about that.’ FATHER:——“Well all of these dif- ferent theories are the versions of men.” INTERVIEWER:—‘Yes, I under-. stand that.’ FATHER:—::Now one man’s ver- sion may be that CHRIST came as an illegitimate child.” INTERVIEWER:-——‘Of course we don't believe that,—-I don’t anyway.’ FATHER:—“Of course the Christ- ian world does not believe it, but the Jewish world they DO believe JESUS to have been an illegitimate ‘ child. But with Me, according to My Version, it would be immaterial to ‘Me whether He was What the people would call an illegitimate child ' or a. Holy Child, to Me He was GOD.” INTERVIEWER:——‘To me too!’ FATHER:—-—"So this belief would transcend the limited version of men. All of their versions, and theories "and doctrines, and ideas and opin- ions, could not change My Version concerning the CHRIIST as a Real- ity. Now GOD’S Condescension to come in the Name of JESU_S to the Earth plane, according to My Ver- sion, was merely a condescension, coming through the name of a Vir- gin. It was an expression of a con- descension for GOD -to come to the Earth plane and form Himself in the likeness of a man, but the average person would consider to some extent ,it was a great advent, which it was. But such could be more insignificantly expressed than that of coming through the Virgin. and yet produce the omnipotence of GOD more effectively and more con- vincingly by coming through even a ‘more insignificant state of expres- sion than that of the Virgin.’ ’ ‘ :———‘That -is true." FA'IlgI-I!ER:——"‘Il3‘ecause the less ._we are, if we can make ourselves some- thing after the manner of men,t’.-he greater win he the min-foldment of t-he perseverance of -the individual E :- 323rii..1i)ii8. aha the “ambition therof. So VVIE feel, the CHRIST if He would have “come even in a more insignificant and even in an immoral Way, ‘He , has proved Himself GOD, to raise Himself up to Perfection through the depths of immorality, through that which could or would ordinar- ily have been termed immorality. To bring the very ».'Spirit" of Modes-* ty and morality to Perfection it would take nothing less than GOD to accomplish such a miracle. See?” INTERVIEWER:—‘Tha.t’s true. I believe You there.’ ‘Now You be- lieve, or Your Version is that when CHRIST came first, He did die to Redeem men from their sins, and then went away, and has now come back to set up a Righteous Gov- ernment? That is the version by some.’ FA'I‘lHER:—“Well of course CHRIST "has never gone any place, aeicording to My Version.” INTE~RVIEW'ElR:——‘In other words He has always been here?’ 'FA'IiHER:—“Always been -here.” IN'I‘E:RVI-EVVIE—R:—“'Has He been here in the form of some man or in Spirit ’Foi~m.? What ‘is ‘Your Version?’ _FATHER:—“VV'e-ll of course with Me it is immaterial whether He would be in a Body or‘ out of a Body, as I make a. complete sur- render in the way of a self-deniaa and an open expression Of ignoring" My Body and ignoring all other bodies. As far as the unfoldment of the CHlRjDST is concerned, I know GOD is GOD with or with- out a Body, as I stress it in My Message.” I'NTERVIEWER:—‘I agree with You there, .it does not make any difference. I was just wondering though, regardless of how He has manifested Himself since the first ma5nifestatio'n we mentioned a mo-. ment ago and His later manifesta- tion which is now,——it does not matter about that,—but Your Ver- sion is that He has come back and manifested Himself through You to the world? That is Your Version?’ FATHER:4“Well He will mani- fest Himself through whomsoever He Wills.” . INTERVIEW:ER:—‘In other Words You b‘e1‘ieve,—‘——You don't believe that .'1‘5.Y17,,t.a..?‘Sl’.(;>.!.i.fl.‘é‘."—.‘,‘. wore» one person can become the CHRIST as much as anothé‘r,+or You?’ FATHER:——“Well of course such a version would be for the individ- ual person's consideration, although one may think‘ one way and an- other may think another. As the Apostle said on one occasion, ‘Let every man be persuaded by his own ‘opinions.’ We feel each person has a right to his own individual belief. While his belief may not be the identical, it may not be the Perfect version to bring about his highest unfoldment, we do believe each per- son should be governed by his or "her highest intuition or version.’ INTERVIEWER:—‘Well now I know that your Followers believe, and their version is, that FATHER DIVINE is GOD, and I believe I also remember reading in the Maga- zine, The Spoken Word, _where FA- THER DIVINE is JES‘-UlS {Himself come back to Reign and Rule. Now that is their version and that is Your Version also is it not?’ (FA- THER gave His interviewer one of those looks that might have con- veyed All Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding according to his Faith, but He did not ‘Speak. Then ,I—Iis questioner continue‘d:—)‘Now it may be that I don’t make myself clear.’ . FA"DHER:—“I Understand you, but you do not Understand Me. Now GOD, or C*.H~RI6ST is a Prin- ciple, as the principle of Mathe- matics. The principle of Mathema- tics is Incorruptible isn't it?” INTERVIEWER:—‘Yes, if’ I un- derstand what You mean, I think that is true.’ FA'ITI-llER:———"‘I mean to Say, the principle of Mathematics is some- thing as tspirit or Mind, impersonal but yet it is incarnated and rein- carnated in the lives of the children of men and they become to be Ma- thematicians do they not? The personification of Mathematics in an individual, it causes that person to be a «Mathematician. The rein- carnation of GOD brought to frui- tion will unfold the mystery equi- valeht-1y." INTERVIEWER:———"i1‘-hen of course now this may be my own limited mind that is past c‘o'mprehen*sion, but it is not possible for everyone ,Pas9 is it, to become the same as You FATHER DIVINE? Of course we can, I believe, become like Him, but at the same time take‘ this great multitude of Followers down here, it is impossible for them to have the same manifestation of C-‘r'O~D that You ‘believe You ‘have, isn’t that true? FA"l‘fHEVR:—-«“Wel1 it i not what I Believe. I am not stressing nor considering what I Believe.” INTERVIEWER :—‘In other words Your Message just refers or ex- presses what they believe about You, is that it?’ FATI-IE~R:—“It is not necessary for Me to consider what I Believe, for My Belief to another may pro- fit nothing, but their belief -to THEM,—acc'ording to their belief so be it unto them.” INTERVIEWER:—‘I see! And then not only so, but ‘their belief, their conception, expresses what You are and it is not necessary for You to express it. I believe that is the cor- rect interpretation of it.’ FATHER:-“Positively! I do not bear record of Myself as a Person.” INTERVIEWER:—‘In other words You naturally refrain from saying Personally that You are «the CHRIST .and JESUS in this new Manifesta- tion‘, because of the fact that You have all of these witnesses to bear record of it. Have I the correct idea there?’ FATHER:-—“I don't Ithinrk it is necessary. I would not mention es- pecially the President as the Chief Executive of our Country. Do We mention a policeman on the street corner? It is not necessary for him to say he is a policeman especially, when he is on duty «to perform his active duty with his uniform. They know who he is.” ,- I'NTERVIEWER:——‘I get Your Conception there, I can agree with that. In other words, the works manifest it. Now if You would rather not answer this, the Follow- e_rs may know. Of course this is my first day and I am planning to visit around for a. few days, but did You have a specific time for this new manifestation to become ‘CHRIST in the new manifestation, or was it a gradual gdevelopmenlt?’ FA'I‘I~IER:—«—“Well, suppose I would _ as you a. question ac.co‘rding to ‘ ‘ A your H version. the Spirit? . ‘Spirit?’ ,1;’#g‘e6o Now how do you consider the advent of the. «Spirit , " came into existence?” IN'I‘ERVIE.WER:——‘The advent of You mean the Holy FATHER:—“Yes.” INTERVIEWER:—-‘Well I believe this:‘ I believe that before Penltecost the Holy Spirit was in the world, ” but not in--' the fullness that it was at Pentecost. I believe that Pente- cost was thevstart of what I term the Dispensation of the Holy Spirit, GOD manifest in ‘Spirit Form, I be- lieve that Pentecost was the appear- ‘ing of that particular Dispensation i of the Spirit like Bethlehem was the beginning of ‘CHRIST’-S Work. Now my version is, it does not matter as to when or how GOD manifests Him- , self, so long as it is GOD, for after that particular Dispensation CHRIST will come back and will do, if I understand correctly, that which Your Followers believe You are do- Ring, and He will come back and set up a Righteous Government accord- ing to Isaiah and other places, and bring in a Reign of Righteousness, Justice and Peace.’ Now my version has been, accord- ing to the teachings ‘of the Bible that His Coming would be the same JESUS that went away, according to Aets, and that He would come back the same JESUS bodily, liter- ally, and that it would be a. sudden coming like His going away, and that He iwould come back and set up His Kingdom.’ ‘Now as to the method, how He would go about setting up His King- dom, of course You !know there are. many different versions. Of course I have felt or understood the Bible to teach that. He would Rule from Jerusalem. ,4-Now of course’ I am seeking, and that is the reason I came here to interview You. I would like. Your Views on that.’ ‘Of course I do agree with You in saying that we_ all, as far as that is concerned, when we come to the, real Truth, may be surprised to find how far we were from the . Truth.’ F'ATHER:—“Well what do you think about the twenty-first Chap-, ter of Revelation ?"’ Do you consider it to be a prophetic revelation?”, INTERVIEWE-R:——o‘Do 1 consider that to be prophetic . from the time The "SPOKEN WORD”' it was written? Yes, I feel that was prophetic, and I consider that to be the record‘ of the things that will happen on the Earth after this (Kingdom has come, You see.’ FATHER:——“Well now, if you will read. the first few verses,” —- - (handing him\ a Bible.) INTERVIEWER (Reading) :—‘And ' I saw a New Heaven and ’a New Earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.’ A ‘And I John saw the Holy City, .New Jerusalem, coming down from GOD out -of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.’ ‘ FATHER.:—“Now just that point, I‘ c-all your attention to that parti- cular quotation for the consider-__ ation of the mystery of His Ruling from Jerusalem. (I saw the Holy . City‘ and the NEW Jerusalem, com- ing down from Heaven.) . 1'NTERVIEWER:——‘Well now that has been my View Reverend Divine, and «that was to be during the first thousand year period of His Reign of Righteous Government over the Earth, but it would -be from Jeru- salem, You know as a literal place,‘, that He would Rule over the Earth and the Kingdoms of men. Then at the end of that ‘thousand years, this twenty-first Chapter jthen indicates what would happen. after the -CHRIST has delivered up the King- dom into the Hands of the FA- THER. Now You can -Say what You think about that version. That has been my version,-—this describes the condition after a thousand years of Reign, and in place of the old Jerusalem there was a New Jeru- salem, and a New Heaven and Earth, and then this would describe what happens throughout Eternity.’ ' FATHER: “There are different versions in the Scripture. I We ﬁnd it quite diﬂicult for each and every- body to think the same until they come together in that recognition. Of ' course I delight in coming in con- tact with the different individuals. As I have often Said, if one can bring Me something more profound, more practical, more profitable, and more real and true for the spirit, body and soul here and now, and for the here- after, I would gladly endorse them and let My Version go.”» ‘."I‘hat is why I believe in meeting the’ different Representatit/ems of Reli- j ‘ I ‘Tuesday, June 2sn1,_-V1936: gion and coming in contact with, all of_ the different Religions from time to time.

I believe GOD is as ‘much in Flesh as He is in the Spir- it, and as much in the Spirit as He is in the Flesh. I believe GOD ﬁlls all space and is absent from none. Hence I could not justifiably try to conﬁne nor bind My Thought to CHRIST being merely in a Bodily Form, neither to bind My Thought to CHRIST merely being in the Spir- . it and in the Spiritual Realm, nei- -ther on -the mental plane or realm.” “Weﬁnd, if GOD is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent we must universalize our version con-' ' cerning our Maker and allow Him to . .

He is also Functioning invis- ibly, ‘unseen and Ever-present,‘ yea‘ even OMNIPRESENTI so we know by this and by such a recognition, ' we can express the Omnipoterice and the Omniscience of ’ the Inﬁnite by" making such a mental and spiritual contact.” " ’ ‘ 1 “This is why we_do not fret nor‘ fear coming in contact with any per- son or persons, or doing anything that may be our endeavor, because we know we have the Omnipotence of the Omnipotent, and the Omniscience. of the Omniscient, and‘ the Omnipres-. ence and the Ever-presence of the" omnipresent, to answer to all of our requests."

Constitution an import- piece or Legislation, we .will v-' The “SPOKEN WOR_l.')” heartily endorse them -as seeking RIGHTEOU-SNESS, TRU'I‘H_ and JUSTICE, as far as they have_at that time unfolded these.” I INTERVIEWER:-—‘Well You do have through Your Fol1owers,a pow- erful influence for the Principles that You advocate, in many of the Political Parties regardless of what they are,—that is true then isn’t it?’ ‘ F"ATHER:——“We1l the only thought of it, is, I doubt whether the ma- jority of them are actually stand- ing altogether for RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE un- selfishly.” « INTERVIEWER:—‘I don’t think any of them are do You?’ ' - FATHER:—“No, it is true.” IN'l‘ERVIEWER:—-‘Well I don't want to take any more, of Your time. I have enjoyed this conver- sation very much and it has cer- tainly given me a revelation, There has been one thing that mystified "us down in Florida. ’ Many of the people have read there, what many of t-he Magazines say, but there is still‘ a mystery as to the enormous amount of money You must have to run these Heavens or Kingdoms. The‘ story is that it is a mystery to even You or to Your Followers. Is it? What I mean by that is, of course now as the man said down there, GOD would not have to ac- count where He got His money. That is true, and I know that, be- cause all the riches and everything belong to GOD as’ far as that is concerned.’ « FATHER:—"Well what do you think of My Language? You have talked with Me for quite a few minutes. ' ' .. INTERVIEWER_:4‘I think this,— i I will say this much-,——I think You‘ ‘ have a very great Personality, and I think You undoubtedly have marvel- I lous ability, to carry on this Work. It is enough to kill the ordinary fellow.’ FATHER:—“Well from whence does such an ability or Personality come?” INTERVIEWER:—‘Well I ,don’t know that’ I’ have-given that partuc- ular thbughlt any consideration. I do believe that in a sense,-—I know in fact in the fullness, that Power be- longs to GOD. I ‘know that, and ‘I know a man, to perform many \ _ things, would have to be iii contact , ling according to the Scripture ?"’ "ME, I mean the Message of Hy’:-* .

I do think without , _ doubt You do have a Master‘ ‘Mind ‘ ' ’ Q because Your Talk has revealed it to me.’ ‘Now I don’t want to take up more of Your time, —— —’ FATHER:—‘‘I do feel in a way of speaking that it is in the way of a sacrific-e to give you this inter-, view, because you see the way the workis piled up,‘ but I am deeply interested in whatsoever I am en- deavoring, and in the meantime I am ‘deeply interested in those with V whom I come in contact to get a 7 if deeper meaning ‘and an understand-.

My Divinity or My Deity would not have been brought to consideraltion, for I am not mentioning that, I am?’ mentioning the Fundamental of Life, g the Hope of the Redemption of man- A kind. This is what I am stressing, ? hence I am not Saying so much about My Divinity or Deity. I am Saying the significance of ' this Truth, after it is exhibited or in ~ g other words explained and unfolded ‘ so you can see the significance of it, that it is practical, it is scientif- ic, it is Truth; with or Without My Person in consideration, the mystery i_ ' matics.”' ' “When an individual has gone to school and learned the principle of Mathematics, if he becomes to be versed in Mathematics he becomes to be a Mathematician you see. Hence he will use these things for himself.

That is the Thought -I want ‘to convey.” INTERVIEWER:——'We11 You can rest assured of this that whenever and wherever I .contact the Truth, I accept the. Truth. I am glad to ac- cept the Truth wherever it is re- vealed, if it is according to the Bible. I hope nfy mind is open that I am willing to accept the Truth at all times as it is revealed to me, and I am like You in saying that I -am ready as the honey-bee to gather V from any particular place any Truth «that may be for the benefit of my mind, my soul, or for man- — kind.’ » FATHER:—“We11 now that is the reason I have striven to release to you as much as possible, that you might pass it on to others. Whether’ you recognize Me as a Man, or the Omnipotent, or what not, it is not so much that. I am not -stressing that. You see you have called My Attention to Myself more ithan I have. I have tried to get away from Myself as a Person, but I have stressed the mystery of these Say- ings and Works of the Spirit, and the Teaching of CHRIST as the Fundamental,‘ ‘the Principle of it don’t you see. I am desirous of see- ing others be partakers of it. When they are partakers of it _and trans- ,mit it to others eventually it will envelop the whole world. You may not see Me in fifty years from now, or a hundred years from now, and I don't care if you do or I don't care if you don’t as far as I am Per- sonally concerned. Nevetheless if I meet you I may be glad to see you, but I mean as far as you especially attaching yourself to Me as a Per- son, The significance of My Mis- sion is that men will develop this Spirit of RIGI-ITEOU'SNESS,TRUTH and JUSTICE in them and transmit it or pass it on to others, that they might be partakers of it and rid the Earth of vice and crime, and de- bauchery of every kind.” IvNTERVIEWER:——‘Well now there is another question. I have noticed that You have rather turned away from, talking about’ Your Person, GOD will abundantly . The "sronnx WORD” which I think is very becoming and modest, but I. cannot help but be impressed with the fact that all this innumerable number~ of Followers worship You as GOD. You do not object to that?’ FATHER:——“I believe every per- son should be governed by his or her highest intuition, and if your highest inltuition through your Re- ligious conversion or conviction can and will, with the spirit of Sincer- ity, free you from sin, free you from committing adultery, free you from stealing, and even say free you from smoking cigarettes, as it does every one of My Followers who live according to My Teaching, then I Say Itheir Religious convictions are convincing and I would be worse than an impostor ‘ to endeavor to prevent them from having the Faith in that which will free them from such sins.” ' INTERVIEWER:—‘Well then I have noticed as You talked along, there are many of Your Views that are somewhat similar to some of the views held by our friends the Christ- ian Scientists. Have You made much of a study of Christian Scientists and their views, or have You as 3: h0I1e.Y"bee gathered out some of them, which You have included in Your particular view? _ FATHER:-—“Well yes, A know of -them. Of course I have not studied them saying as quite a number of My Followers who have come in contact with a number of the Christ- ian Scientists they have been ques- “.0394 35 to Whether they or I My- self have been connected with the \'ChI‘iSti3n. Science Movement. Some have said to a number of My Fol- lowers from time to time, ‘I am sure FATHER _got His Message from ‘Mother Eddy’ or from “Science and Health.’ They ‘Say. “Where did ‘Mother Eddy’ get hers from?” They say, ‘Why she got hers from GOD, or’by a, great revelation of Divine Truth,’ Well My Followers say to them, “Mother Eddy got hers from Me”,—that is what they say.’ ’ . INTERVIEWER:—‘She from You as GOD.’ FATHER:—“Yes, that is the idea. Each individual believes he or she receives hers from some p1_a_,¢e, so long ‘as they are limited in Ithe cgn- caption concerning themselves. Hence got hers Tuesday, June 23rd, 1936 if a. person believe in ‘Mother Ed- dy’, naturally if he comes ‘in con- tact with Me he would think “Moth- er Eddy’ had something for Me.” INTERVIEWER:—‘Because she got hers from You ?" FATI-IEB:——“Well they would THINK she had something, or did have something for Me, or I had something from her. See? But with My Conception it is not a person or persons, or matter especially. With or without a person, GOD is a PRJINCIPLE, yet He is transmitt- ible.” INTERVIEWER:—‘But He is a ‘PERSON as well as a PRINC- IPLE?’ FATHER:-—“Yes He is a PRINC- IPLE and yet PERSONIFIED, «I am not denying it.”' , INTERVIEWER:—‘We11 You be-' lieve He is actually a PERSON al- so.’ FA'THER:—“I Say HE is a‘. Per- son, and yet Personifiable, and yet Persanified.” . INTERVIEWER:——‘Well couldn’t You Personify a Principle without that Principle being a person?’ FATHE-R:—“W'e:ll what is Per- sonification ? ” I INTERVIEWER:——‘Well that per- haps, is a hard question.’ FATHER:——“In‘ short, it is Per- sonalification. That is the signific- »ance of it, and when I Say the Prin- ciple of Mathematics personified is -a Mathematician, if you as a person U have incarnated the principle of Mathematics and brought it into your actions and into expression, you are a Mathematician, common- ly known from another version or another way of expression, you are an intelligent person. Not only the spirit or the mind in you, but you are the intelligent PERSON which you are, -physically. You are an in- telligent PERSON. You have in- carnated the intelligence through your studies through your educa- tional career, etc. You have brought intelligence to the degree where you are a person and an intelligent per- son. But if all of your inltelligence was withdrawn ‘from your mental- ity and your system, you would be an ignorant person the same as any other ignorant person would be you see. But the intelligence developed in a person, it causes that person to be the personification of it, and .by our living the igmmay, Juno ma, 1936 when he is the personification of in- telligence naturally He is an intel- ligent person.” “So it it with the Spirit of GOD, His Mission, His Work, and all of His Qualities,-—these Qualities are Personifiable, yet they are Invisible —-—and Impersonal, yet they "are Per- sonifiable. Now this is an expres- sion or an Attribuite we may term it to be, which is Personifiable. I am PEACEFUL because I have in- carnated PEACE, a Principle, and -brought it to fruition in My ex- pressions, KINDNESS, equivalently the same! RESPECTABLENE-SS, , equivalently the §ame in expression. All of these are parables, parably speaking of and through the world of Science, what I mean concerning GOD as we look further than those limited degrees of His Attributes.” INTERVIEWER:——‘Well I believe . I had one -thing,-——one question I Wanted to ask You. Now when CHRIST was first on Earth, the Bible I think clearly reveals that He came through the race known as the Jews, and there seems to be an indication that He would come back A as such. You believe the story that He, was Cruificied for our sins don’t You? FATHER:—“Yes. In a way, yes.” INTERVIEWE/R:——.—‘You believe that we are saved by the shedding of His Blood on the Cross, or rather Principle He t_a.ught.?’ I ‘ FATHER:———“Well by living the Principle He Taught, and by believ- ing in the Sacrifice He made on the Cross.” INTERVIEWER:-—"We1l that Sacri- fice was substitution for our sins, You believe that?’ FATHER»-“-Well it was the Sacrifice of the Life in the Individ- ual, in willingness ‘to obey the FA- i~‘HER." INTERVIEWER:—‘Well then what is Your Version or explanation that ‘You came the first time in Your .ver- sioii;— I don‘t know about Your Ver- sion‘ of .that,.—but we say the Jew- ish race; and now You have come through another race and the scars are not in Your Hands. What is Your interpretation of that?’ , A ‘ FATHER:—‘‘In GOD, there is nei- ther race, nor creed, nor color. This in‘. itself will eradicate and dispel completely from ‘our consideration The “SPOKEN WORD” the version of races in the beginning as well as in the end.” I INTERVIEWER: ‘You believe then that when CHRIST comesback in His manifestation as Your Follow- "ers believe You now to be, that He,‘ riage relationship? would not necessarily come with scars in His Hands, or nail-prints, or as a Jew as He went away, but He is liable to come as any person?’ FATI-IER:——“Well who knows how ' He came and how He appeared in the Person of JESUS? Who are here now that actually took His Picture?” INTERVIEWER :—‘Nobody, t-hat’s truer. The only way in the world we can know, is just what We read.’ . FATHER:—“Well now, who knows the appearance of a Jew? Jews in this Country, and at this Age, and in this light of Civilization, the same as other nationalities, have changed completely in their language, in their thoughts and in their actions. They are cultured, they are intelligent, While at that time those who were commonly known as Jews were the valleys. They were the valleys of the Nations, of which the Prophet was speaking.” . INTERVIEWER:—‘Well then Your View, and I gather that from the Magazine, is that all racial distinc- tions are wrong. Now I believe with You that in the Spirit there is no such thing as that, but Your Belief 4 then is that right here on Earth dur- ,*ing this time, all race and color and all 1that will be completely over- thrown?’ ’ FATHER:—“In the amalgamation of all of the various races and col- ors as we now think of them, they will all be converted into one race." INTERVI_EWER:—‘T-hat will -be as we intermarry?’ FATHER:-—“Well what .d_oes the Bible say regarding marrying in the Kingdom, and those who are worthy of the Kingdom?” ' INTERVIEWER: ‘I -know ‘the Scripture You are Thinking of.’ FATI-IER:——-“Well. it even says, they who are ACCOUNTED worthy. Not only when they get there, but they who‘are ACCOUNTED worthy. Therefore we will get above such as we put on the Virginacy of the CHRIST through the Life and the Teaching of CHRIST,-—in other Words ‘p1;t.on the Virginacy of Mary and the Holiness of CHRIST through JE- SUS.” a Page is‘ , INTERVIEWEI-‘t:—-‘Well then aft- er Your Followers become to be Fol- lowers, do they ever marry after that, and if they are married, I un- derstand they surrender that mar- I would like to know about that. For instance, when a man and his wife have become Be- lievers in You as the CHRIST, do they cease to be husband and wife? Then here may be a young woman and a young man contemplating be- ing married. When they become Your Followers do they then not. become married? reading the magazine articles about You and Your Work, that there is no sex in Your World or Belief. If that is a fair question I would like to know Your Views, and if You would let me have it I would, like to get a copy of this interview to print, because it would come nearer reveal- ing it to folks than anything I could tell them. It would be fairer to You to print the whole thing just as it is.’ FATHER:-—“But I imagine you would not care to print the whole thing. It is rather long.” INTERVIEWER:—‘Well, it would be, but on the other hand there is this danger in cutting an interview, you might cut out the very thing a per- son considers most important. I have found that at times, and _perhaps You have too, and so I would like to ‘get that, and what about that mar- riage question if You don’t mind an-_ swering it.’ , A FATHER:—“Well ﬁrstly I Say I am a ﬁrm Believer, and not only sup- posed to be a Believer but an Advo- cator, Emphasizer, and Demonstrator ‘of the Life and the Teaching CHRIST that was in the Person of JESUS of nineteen hundred years ago, Now those who have developed ~-the CHRIST Consciousness in them, they are partakers ‘of His Character- istics, and they become to be as He was.’’ a INTERVIEWER:--‘And ‘don’t care ,for those things?’ . FATHER:,—“Well now as I tell My Fo11owers,+I may meet some from time to time who say, ‘FA- THER, I have a mind to do this, that, or the other.’ I Say, Well what do you think JESUS would do or would have done if He was in your place? What do you’ think the~Per- son: or the Body called JESUS would I have gathered from. of . , Page 714. ' advice.’ ; lieve in Me. do in_ your particular experience? _I Say, now you do just what you be- lieve, sincerely believe, that Body ~ called JESUS would do.” INTERVIEWER:—‘That is good FATHER:—“Maybe they want to do something that may not be ac- cordingto My Personal Version, but I point them to the identical version ‘of the Body called JESUS and stress it. If they say, ‘Well, whatsoever JESUS would do, FATHER You are GOD, You are JESUS, You are, CHRIST,’ I Say, well whatever you think the Body called JESUS would do, you do that.” ’ INTERVIEWER:'—fWell that is good. I believe if ‘we all would do A thatlwe would get along better.’ FATHER:—“Now I Believe it, and I tell you why I stress it, because there are many different versions of the Scripture. There are -the dif- ferent Writers’ versions of the Bible. Now we read from what it was in the original. For this cause I stress JESUS as 'the Wayshower, as One Who leads the ‘children to His FA- V THER, to GOD, to the ‘Kingdom of Heaven.” H “Hence I Say JESUS was and is the Scale of Justice. If we weigh everything on the Scale of Justice through concentration, by thinking with a spirit of sincerity just exact- ly what we as individuals believes JESUS would do,—if we do it, that thought in us will adjust matters satisfactorily, because if we concen- trate on JESUS the Spirit from JESUS will come to us as a witness don't you see. It will ‘Teach us exactly what to do." “That is‘ the way the majority of My Followers are convinced to be- I. Say, you _go by what JESUS Said. I recall, years ago‘ I used to Say nothing but that. They would. say, ‘FATHER, tell us some- thing.’ I would Say, now whatso- (‘ever you sincerely believe JESUS would Say’ about it, now you con- centrate on that Person called JE- SUS. ‘I stressed. the, Person. They would say, ‘Well. FATHER, I know YOU are JESUS." I would Say, not so much about Me as a Person,—as I have been trying to tell YOU,- bult concentrate on that Person call- ed JESUS, and if‘ you concentrate on Him by, .focusing your. thoughts ~ on Him with It determination to do ly, and The “sperms worm" H exactly what would be in, Him to do if He .were. you, you _ will get the answer immediately, because the transmission of His Spirit 7 and" His Thoughts‘ will come to you. This is the Scale of Justice of which I am Speaking.” ‘INTER.VIEVVER:—‘VVel1 then this ’ question: One told me down there that Your Followers,-—4‘f1ose who be- lieve in You,—-never die; that some of them imaybe, who quit believing in You, die; but as long as they con- tinue ‘to believe in You they do not die here on Earth. Is-that true '2' FATvHER:——.—“Wel1 now, I will an- swer that question equivalently the same as before. Now JESUS Said, ‘He that believeth on Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live, and he that liveth and believeth on Me shall never die’.” I . » INTERVIEWER:—-‘I have always felt like -that, but does not that mean that ‘they shall neverdie spir- itually as well? Do you apply it to h the body too?’ FATHER:-—“Well was it not ap- plied. to the person in reference to’ the person of Lazarus when He raised him from the dead?” INTERVIEWER:-—-‘Yes, You are right, but yet I think that Lazarus’ physical resurrection was a type of ‘ the Spiritual Resurrection.’ FATHER:——“We1l I may term it to be as a type of the Spiritual, but nevertheless He Said, ‘He that be- lieveth on Me, -though he were dead yet shall he live,’ and He brought that one up from the dead apparent- ‘He that believeth on Me shall never die’.” INTERVIEWER:—‘I had inter- preted that, he that believeth on - GOD would never die spiritually, but not physically, and the reason I have held that view has been that -many of His Followers back there who did believe in Him have died physically. Haven’t they?’ FATI-I'ER:———“Well -they did not continue, according ‘to My Version, to live and «believe in Him to "let His Words abide in them.” INTERVIEWER:—‘If they nah, they never would have died physic- ally?’ FATHER;——“That’s right! Now we read, at‘ the day of Pentecost there was a different version from that. 0.f., -I,Ej_,SUAS_. Although they‘ had , received the unfeldment of the sjnr-_ I , Young Ruler, ~ out you see.

This was the foundation or --establishment or building of the Church, but the Foundation of ‘the establishment of the Kingdom, JE- SUS laid out when He told the Rich ‘Thou knowest the Commandments, Do not Kill, Do not Steal, Honor thy father and thy mother,’ and the Rich Young Ruler said, ‘All of_ these things have I kept from my youth up.‘ He Said, ‘GO SELL’ ALL YOU HAVE". AND GIVE TO THE POOR, then come and follow‘ Me.’ He did not Say, ‘Come and bring anything to JESUS for the establishment of the Kingdom.’ "-Now you see the My‘Version. That is the reason"! , do not approve of taking collections ' in My Meetings, or in connection with My Meetings.” IN'I‘ERVIWER:——‘But if people come and offer You ‘anything to carry on this great Movement, You would be at liberty to accept it’ would You not?’ ‘ FATHER:—“I would be .’at liberty’ if I would do so, but I would not accept it from a person ‘that would endeavor to GIVE Me anything. I would only accept of something if I’ would do something practical in some practical way. But as far as giving service, I mean Professional or Spiritual service to the children of men, as Teaching, and as My daily Occupation may be, Iconsider the service belongs ‘to GOD and it should be as a free gift to the world, gratis to mankind.” ‘Hence those who resorted to tak- ing collections, and money, and such, it was different from what JESUS first Said when He started them they made a mistake and did not keep JESUS’ Sayings to that de- gree. Now if they would have kept ’His Sayings, and followed them as He did,-—‘Now youssell it and give it to the poor and then come to Me _ and I will Bless you,’—-that is_ My Version.” _ ' ‘F 1’ INTERVIEWER:~~‘In other words Your Version is, that instead I of a thing to y_ou;. they slieiild.

I have lots of Followers who were Ministers the same as yourself, and a few Catholic Priests. When. they came to this recognition they have given up everything out in the mortal world to those to whom it was due apparently, and have gone ' out into the Spiritual Mission. A man from California, Mr. Roine, "I suppose’ you -have read about him in thespokeng Word, he has been to Finland and all” around since he has‘ been. following Me.

Mayer Studios in ﬁlmland released ‘a picture known as “Gabriel Over The White House.” The picture was adjudged one of the outstanding pictures of the year and aroused considerable comment. Directed by Gregory La Cava, the picture was made in record time-— twelve days, if memory serves cor- rect. ~ The picture originally designed as a “quickie,” and viewed as somewhat of a daring and radical experiment, turned. out to be the ”year’s greatest success. Starting with a good story, packed with dramatic possibilities, La Cava. managed to produce one of those rare things known as an epic an-d a picture which left its imprint indelibly upon the minds of the Amer- ican - public. "Gabriel Over The White ’House” dealt with the unheard of and fanci- V ful case of a President who daredto do right_ The President (played by Walter Houston), hemmed in by sapine, spineless subordinates, whose function was to say “yes” with in- gratiating ineptitude, in a fit of ex- asperation, rebelled, and as the fa- miliar expression goes, kicked over the traces. (The exact‘ incident or cause responsible for this re-creation ’ seems to be obscure in the writer's memory.) The effect of this rebirth was amazing! It was like a bomb- shell. ‘ i From a soft amenable, and pliable Chief Executive, ‘ the emerged one day from his office a roaring lion. His mild, acquiescent voice -had changed to a’ crisp, curt note of authority. He was tired of his “rubber stamp” office. _ Then, things started to" happen around the White House. Efficiency was substituted for disorder. Action took the place of promises.

Standing on the deck of a great bat- tleship, reviewing a mighty armada of ﬁghting ships, he bitterly and scathingly -denounced the folly of war. ’ 'With the giant forms of the men of war as a background, he delivered a masterful indictment of armed’ re- course which left nerves a-tingle and a lasting thrill.

To his own surprise, perhaps, Gregory La Cava produced a motion ‘picture which provided the upset of the industry, a new box office high, and a production which stood su- preme for its prophetic import. “Gabriel Over The ,White House” -was more than a motion picture, It was an inspiring and anonumental document of human progress. 8 I 0 Today a. nation, demoralized and destitute through depression and mis- rule, looks hopefully for 3. Gabriel. The idealistic vision of a masterful, supreme leader at the reins of Gov- ernment refuses to die in the hearts of a valiant people. Some ‘point to President Roosevelt and his sweeping program of social legislation as the “Gabriel”, to lead the people out of the wilderness. His uncompromising, forceful departure from traditional expediency, and the dictates of big business, have moulded him for the character. The fact that Roosevelt has been elected for widespread and liberal criticism points to service to the highest ideals rather than a submis- sive toadyingto entrenched interests.

' 1 , . . According to the little Song sung by the Followers, “This TRUTH is OUR GOD isa REALITY, know _the KINGDOM of HEAVEN is at,Hand.” By the Grace :of GOD, FATHER DIVINE, we are living in that KINGDOM which has ‘been materialized and established on the Earth" Plane, having come out REAL." . of the imaginary realm, by the Proph- ﬂecy‘ of GOD: “The first Heaven and the ﬁrst earth are passed away and there is’ no more sea.” GOD, Him- self, throughby His Second Coming has made. this .fact a reality to all’ mankind. ' Everywhere throughout ' the length and breadth of the land, the people feel the PRESENCE of GOD_ \They know HE has already. come and not as some_ have said, “CHRIST is to come.” HE has al- ready come. He is here. By the witness of the testimonies which ring out from every corner of the earth, and by the manifestation of the incomparable Work of GOD, by’ the delivering of these great and priceless MESSAGES daily received, A I ‘4 «we know that GOD is here, fornd man could do the-Works that FA- THER DIVINE does, neither’ could ‘ have . TRUTH, HE has’ given them power- any manspeak as HE speaks. No man has possessed such love‘for all peo- ple as. has this Great GIVER of Good, neither hath any man be- ' stowed such_love unto man, as has FATHER. DIVINE. The Scripture declares: “Greater love hath, no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” FATHER DI- VINE has sacriﬁced HIS, HOLY, PRECIOUS, IMMACULATE LIFE time over ‘and over again, not only for His friends, but for the entire human race, but unto as many as received this MESSAGE of to overcome all adversaries and ad- verse’ and undesirable conditions. ,As we daily sit and listen to‘ the miracles that take place in the lives ‘of the people all over the World, we are compelled to say with our Be- loved FATHER, “The Spirit of the Consciousness of the PRESENCE of GOD, is the, Source of all supply, -and it will, and "actually does satisfy eve- ry good desire)’, The SPIRIT of FA- THER DIVINE is operative in the land. This fact was truly veriﬁed in the different testimonies, as they told‘ how GOD had wrought-miracles un- to them, Many expressions of Praises had gone up to the Throne of GOD, ‘but at this time, one, a brother from the far South, was magnifying the NAME of GOD for His Goodness and Mercy to -him, even-though he had not here- tofore seen, the PERSONAL BODY 01:‘ THE ’ CHRISTJ’. The Work of His Spirit was the same one place as it was the other. The -recognition of I-IIS PRESENCE FORM, is the essential. _ At the conclusionof this brother's testimony, FATHER sang the fol- lowing, Song, and then proceeded to give this “Divinely Heavenly MES- SAGE," which has been herewith re- corded for the ediﬁcation of all man- kind. -We thank THEE BLESSED- LORD, SAVIOUR DIVINE.

At timesit was because of the sub- conscious sorrow-because you were sorry in your sub-consciousness for something you had done. It could have been something even unknown, that caused your sub-consciousness to go, in sorrow, caused your sub- consciousness to be sad.

Because you continued to declare the -‘reality of GOD, the very thoughts of your mind caused your appearance to change, but when your thoughts con- ceived the idea in the heart, in real- ity, by a continued re-iteration, it caused your whole system without and within to change, That is the mystery. You have expressed just what you believe. That which you have believed in the mind, it is re- ﬂected in your personal appearance, such isva real experience, but such as you have -sincerely believed in your - ‘heart, you have become to be a part of that which you have believed in your heart. GETTING GOD IN _ YOUR HEART Now that is why the Metaphysi- cians often stress concerning ME, as though I AM a Reﬂection of GOD.

They believe in receiving GOD, but they do not be- lieve in materializing and~personify- " ' ing GOD, because they do‘ not be- lieve in getting GOD in their -heart, in reality. They merely mean to get GOD in their mentality. When GOD is established in your mentality, you may be intellectually alert/ and super-intelligent mentally, - but you will not be quickened phys- ically and have the VICTORY over physical ailments therefore, I say, get itin your hearts and this is made real by _re-iteration, . by a continuous repetition ("‘repea.- - tion,”) or re-iteration.

Although you may even be unconscious realm of expression, when you become conscious‘ again, from the sub-‘conscious mind will come forth into expression your first con- eeptioh or your alphabet “A.

Now-isn't that won- derful? (“Truly wonderful!” re- marked the throng.) . TRUTH SPREADING Through the complete reiteration of your conscious conviction and the realization of others, you will be brought into the conscious realization of it. Now isn’t that wonderful! You .will be brought into the vconscious realization of it, as the re-iteration of the conscious’ conviction and the realization of A others is ’ continued, When you continue to reiterate or re- peat the conscious conviction and the realization of others, you too will be- come to be partakers of it. That is why this TRUTH is spreading like wild ﬁre, because of the reiteration .1 of the Words you have spoken. The transmission of MY SPIRIT will take ’ it over to others, and carry the MES- SAGE through reiteration to others, they too, will become to be partakers of it. Now isn’t it a privilege, Dear Ones, to see the scientiﬁcness and the reality and the signiﬁcance of re- iteration? ‘ Some have thought from time’ to time, those of MY Followers in sing- ing‘Spiritual songs, they would re- peat or reiterate over and over’ again, the one word so often—the same as you say and have sung: “HE IS GOD! Goo: Goo: GOD!” Whzitsoever the Spirit has quickened in you——in oth- er words, whatsoever the Spirit has inspired you with, to make it real, to you, it must not stop merely in your‘ conscious mentality, but you must continue to reiterate it until your heart conceives it. When your heart conceives that which has been given by inspiration, it will become to be aconscious conviction and real- ization to the person; who has con-, eeived it; ' V "Page 19 i IMPOSSIBILITY , FOR YOU TO DIE ‘ . . When this is established in your sub-consciousness, it is a. matter of impossibility for you to lose it; then if you would even so much as go down to the bottom of the Paciﬁc Ocean in the deepest part of it, with the conscious conviction and the realization of GOD as a Living Fac- tor quickened in your heart as Well as in your mentality, say: “THANK YOU FATHER,” not merely as if being committed to memory, but “I THANK YOU FATHER,” saying it automatically as it would come forth spontaneously from your subcon- sciousness, it would be a matter of impossibility for you to die. ‘That seed of Life, that re-predic- tion of ‘David, re-quickened and re- iterated in you, has been fulfilled in your experience: “Call on ME in the day of trouble, I will deliver Thee.” With this quickened Spirit in your hearts, that which you have re- peated so often, until you shall have become to be the automatic Repeater of such an expression, that those ex- pressions will come forth spontane- ously and voluntarily and unthought- fully, then and there, that expression: ‘'1 THANK YOU FATHER,” if this happens to be the expression con- ceived in your heart, it will deliver you from all of your troubles. A Oh it is a privilege to realize as it was from the beginning ofuyour ,ed- ucational c~ar;eer, starting in the kindergarten of your educational career, and see the re-iteration of those words that you did ireiterate‘, and how real they were as you re- iterated them until you conceived them in your hearts—committed them to memory, “and had them by heart," If this is true, why not see the whole of your life and everything else you may endeavor to do, to be REAL and as TRUE by re-iteration and by consciously and sincerely repeating it over and over again, until you can receive it. TEMPLE OF GOD __ You cannot in reality, receive that which you cannot conceive. The real conception is the reality of recciviiig it. Merely to say, “I received some-_ thing," and you do not conceive it, neither perceive the idea, it is _a mat-- ter of impossibility for you to re-' ceive it; in reantife That which you Page 20 receive especially as an expression for a conceptionvor as a quotation, for a conception, that which you can receive, you must conceive the idea concerning it, and conceive the ac- tual expression through your mental and Spiritual conception. When this shall have been estab- lished, then and there, your physical body will be the body andthe Temple of that which you have conceived. Your body will become to be the Temple ,and the Body of GOD, for you. have conceived that which you consciously believed. You did no longer merely consciously believe it inyour conscious mentality, but by re-iteration you conceived it in your sub-consciousness and established it in your memory never to be forgot- ten. By this, we shall re-establish the KINGDOM of GOD Universally, and the conscious realization of GOD’S PRESENCE on earth among the people. I shall establish it in reality, by .causing those of you whoare true and faithful, to continue to say it, until you do get sincere in saying it. When you get sincere_ in saying it, you will conceive it. When you con- ceive it, then you have it. BRING FORTH THE ROYAL DIADEM Oh! it is a privilege to realize the scientific-ness and the signiﬁcance of this TRUTH, as it is put forth into expression to you. Each and every individual can, if he or she will, bring forth the ROYAL DIADEM, and CROWN HIM LORD of all. This is accomplished bypcontinuing to repeal that which you believe. You may say, “I believe it,"—-and “Why should I repeat it? Why should I continue to say it?” You should continue’ to repeat it, or reiterate it until your hearts shall have conceived it, and will speak it automatically unthoughtfully to you as an individ- ual.’ The very Spirit of that which you have believed, will speak with- in. It will be no longer you speak- ing, as an individual, as said the Apostle. but, the CHRIST that dwells within you. shallstir up the Nations contin- ually.

Oh! it is a privilege to reiterate and repeat continually until the reitera- tion shall have been conceived in you until nothing can take it from you. By this, we shall have a RIGHT- EOUS GOVERNMENT. By this, we shall bring into -outer expression and into materialization and on the Ma- terial Plane in and among us, win all of our affairs, RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE by re-iteration. “We have re-iterated it until it has become to be a part of us, the same as you re-iterated your alpha.bet— your A.

Rebel against them by fasting from their suggestions, and relying on whatsoever MY Spir- it within you will tell you, and I, by the Spirit within_ you, will over- come your human tendencies, will overcome your human fancies, will overcome your human pleasures, .will give you the VICTORY by you con- tinuing to fast them out of you—— fasting from your suggestions ofpthe human, mortal affections, the mortal tendencies, the mortal fancies and the mortal pleasures, fasting from every mortal suggestion, that they are making; fasting from every other expression that they might suggest to you. _ Oh! it is a privilege to live in the PRESENCE of GOD, where GOD :HIMSELF will teach you all WIS- DOM, all KNOWLEDGE and all UN- DERSTANBING, and will ﬁll you and ‘thrill you with enthusiasm, and that enthusiasm is the CHRIST. “PEACI "_—1s . YOUR SLOGAN 'RE-ITERATION is the great es- sential. I cannot stress it too vivid- ly, for as you have re-iterated cer- tain expressions, you can see the sig- niﬁcance of them.

We shall bring into outer ‘expression your fond- ’ est imagination. We-shall bring into outer expression your heart's faint- est andi simplest cry, if it is a sin- cere and a faithful desire.

Various statistical studies yield the following last-minute appraisals: The American Federation of Labor estimates 11,506,000 unemployed; the Industrial Conference Board esti- mates about 9,649,000; the United States Department of Commerce es- ,timates about 10,606,000.

It thus appears that more than 5,000,000 persons have been re- employed. Furthermore, many new hands have been added to the total labor force of the nation.

A Constitutional Amend- , ment The action of the ‘Supreme Court Production /in nullifying many essential portions of the New Deal program, and the more recent action of the Canadian Supreme Court in declaring invalid similar legislation in the Dominion, brings to the fore, more than ever, the pressing necessity of a Constitu- tional Amendment limiting the pow- er of this body to ‘render valueless such 1egis1ation——or rather vesting in Congress the authority to transcend such rulings. A The will of the people, as mad known and expressed by Congress in session, should not be countermanded by a body of nine men subservient to the best interests of a few, Present social legislation, essential to the people’s interest, appears to be doomed by the reactionary Supreme Court. The question of such an Amend-e ment giving Congress supercedence over the Supreme Court is the most urgent piece of legislation which should he demanded. , Restore Government by the people. is a. present cry.

The “White Australia” Policy is distinctly provocative, the dog-in-the- manger trait- of our ancestors over- shadowing the care-freed generosity of the true Australian. The basis of peace is an acknowl- 'edg_ement of the Fatherhood of God ‘and ,_ the Brotherhood of Man. Not ‘the canting, hypocritical Sunday talk and week-day ‘acting of graft and greed, but the deeds and actions that will prove in concrete form our claim to Christian- ity and civilization. While other nations _are starving for space to live in, for raw materials and healthy air in which _to expand, our great open spaces are crying out -for population, and our vast resources of raw material disintegrating in the ground. ‘ _' The joyousness of young Australia is saddened by the realization of the bondage we- are under, bondage to a law not formulated by the present generation but born of greed, fear and pride of power of the early set- tlers here. / WE want to open our doors‘ to our brothers of other nations and wel- come them to our Banquet of abun- dance, butthe selﬁsh “Mine” of our ancestors seems to have rusted the hinges an-d the door sticks, in spite of our. willingness to open it.

Of the early life of the Bab, His sufferings, the hero- ism of His disciples, and the cir- cumstances of his ' tragic martyr- dom, one may read in “The Dawn- breakers”: Nabil’s Narrative of the Early. Days of the Baha’is Faith. Suffice it to say that at the,early ’ agevof 31 the Bab was publicly martyred by a military firing squad at Tabriz, Persia, on July 9, 1850.

The “SPOKEN worm’? Democrats Turn at Phila- " delphia Eye Third Party Philadelphia, June 21st.——On the eve of the Democratic National Con- , vention the political pot boiled mer- rily with last minute developmenta adding zest to the meet. As the New Dealers prepared for the re- nomination of President several factors caused party leaders furrowed brows. One was the third party movement headed by Represen- tative William Lemke, of North Da- kota which threatened to divert part‘ of the liberal vote.- Assured of the backing of the _Rev, Charles E. -C_oughlin’s National Union for Social Justice, Lemke’s newly formed Union party sought to ~ wean share-the- wealth fdisciples of the late Huey P. Long from the political heirs of the Louisiana dictator. The third party ‘bid caused the fear that in a few un- certain states, especially in the north- ern section of the farm belt, ‘the ‘Lemke votes would be effective at the expense of the Democratic total. . As a,,counter move the Democrats projected a plank challenging the powers of the_Supreme Court on so- cial reform as a. means of halting defections to the third party. Ad-’ ministration platform makers ‘came under pressure to assume a bold con- stitutional stand with a declaration of the right and duty of Congress and the states to protect the people with social and industrial legislation by *a'. reassertion of their powers with- in-the Constitution. While the phrase “within the Constitution” was used this was taken to mean undeﬁned action to overcome the obstacles set up by Supreme Court decisions. ‘ ' Platform emphasis was also placed on a far-reaching plank bidding for labor ‘support and a non-gold mone- tary plank holding out hope ‘ to the supporters of a. system“ of managed currency. From a survey of twenty- one states in. the last three months ‘Edward McGrady, 3. Assistant Secre- tary of Labor, reported to Democratic headquarters that 85 per cent of or- ganized labor was for Mr. Roosevelt. The President himself was reported to be "contemplating a vigorous ‘cam- paign which will take him on one ' swing as far -as the Pacific‘ eéast.

D. -Buchman, found- er- ,of the Oxford Group, had one answer for delegates to the De- mocratic National Convention who asked him about platform planks. It was.:. _ “I’d‘ let God write your plat- form.” ‘ ’ T To delegates-who asked him to be morelspecific, his advice was: . “Get in touch» with God." . ,“Go_d is the person the American vloter has got to reckon with in the coming election,-” announced the Ox- ford leader, as he took up tempor- ary headquarters in Philadelphia to which __city he and a vhundredwof his followers have gone, to remain _dur_- 'ing the Democratic convention. Dr. Buchman and fifty-five asso- ciates visited__ Cleveland during. the Republican Convention, hol-ding meetings and interviewing delegates who, called at their headquarters. “Asked what the group had ac: ‘ complished there, the .leader, a native Pennsylvanian, said that he had made it a rule “not to evaluate results ” of the movement. He explained, however, that the vis ts to Cleveland and Philadelphia were nron-political in nature, that ‘no direct efforts were made to ill- fluence party platforms but that headquarters were set up so that delegates familiar with «. the Oxford Movement, might meet members of the group if they wished. , In Philadelphia. ,the ‘ headquarters are at the Bellevue-Strattford, where ‘has its rooms. 4“There is an‘ election on,” Bu_c_llman said. “The greatest elec- tion issue is whether wegwill elect “+1-V. _ God as the guide of our individual- lives and so of .our national life.- ' “The real question before the American voter is: ‘Will God con- trol America?’ , . » ‘.‘The.,_coun«_try must, be _governed..by ‘ men under instructions from God as ' definitely given and understood as if they. came by wire. This is the _true dictatorship of 4 the living God. and the a.ns‘we7r to all dictators. The-“SPOKEN worm” This is the -true patriotism. A true patriot gives his life for his coun- try's resurrection. “The Oxford Group is a revolution in all politics—-because God directs not only the -platforms but the poli- g ticians.” In a radio speech Dr. Buchman declared that America’s safety “lies in God-control.” ’ “National recovery and resurrec- tion will come when we accept our full responsibility to work with Him," he said. “America must get ready ‘to do her part in the crea- tion of" a new world order under God's control.” Members_ of the Oxford Group at- tended a business men’s luncheon at the Penn Athletic Club * and con- ducted a mass meeting tonight at the Academy of Music. A At the luncheon, presided over by. Samuel Scoville,‘ an attorney of this city, Carl Vrooman of Bloomington, Ill., Assistant Secretary of Agricul- ture in the Wilson =administra_tion, described the "Oxford Movement as “a twentieth century expression of first century Christianity." , He added that the real issue ‘of the political ‘camaign was whether “this nation can be awakened*spir- itually as the necessary first "step in achieving a diffused national“ re- covery."

Dr. Henry Guppy, librarian of the Rylands Library, said it was the earliest fragment of a manuscript of the Bible in any language and the earliest witness for the Gospel of St. John. V . “Hitherto,” he said,_ “scholars thought St. John's Gospel was one of the last written, but this proves it one of the ﬁrst,” The fragment was written two hun- dred years before the Codex, Sinai- ticus, which Britain bought for 100,-. 000 pounds from the Soviet, and is older than the fragment of the un- known gospel of the second century acquired by the British Museum last year, which was thought to be. the earliest Bible manuscript in existence. According -to The Daily Mail the ragged- fragment, which measured 3% by 31-3 inches, was discovered by C. H. Roberts, fellowof St. John's College, Oxford, among the -manu- scripts -of the Rylands Library. “How the papyrus reached Ry- lands Library isuncertain,”-he said, "“but it is likely it came originally from Oxyrhynchus, Upper Egypt. It was herethat Dr. B. P, Grenfeld and Dr- A. S.- Hunt in. 1897 found the . famous document giving new sayings of Jesus. a “The ‘papyrus comprises- only verses 31 to 33 of Chaptenxviii-«of St. John's Gospel, but its importance is —.out of - 2 all proportion to its size.

The present plight of the country and the world is viewed by serious ' thinkers as. desperate. e As viewed by the followers of FA- ‘ THER DIVINE, who think only in terms of a perfect universe, it is nev- ertheless a condition demanding un- - compromising e- action. , The hideous lynch evil; the indif- ference of our legislators at Wash- ington to the really vital economic ’ and social issues’, and the general po- litical evasion while our country faces disaster, are matters which will not be settled_ by lackadaisical ap- , athy. There need no longer be doubt as to the only and proper stand for those true proponents» of Righteousness. The followers of FATHER DIVINE, , numbering many millions, and all ‘those sympathetic to his cause, know "His stand on the most vital political V issues. ’.1. He is ﬁrmly and unalterably against segregation of any kind—in words, deeds or action, -' "3. He demands prompt and complete I Federal action at once on the Anti- Lynch Bill which he has drafted. ('3. He demands operation of all idle i plants and production at full capacity. 4. He demands Federal control of the monetary system.’ .' i 5. He demands the end of compul- sory insurance of any kind. 6_ He is deﬁnitely opposed to what “state's rights.” One law for the whole na- tion is His clear mandate. Many other important Planks of All are equally important but if any ’/issues particularly demand immediate action they are the Anti-Lynch Bill- (which is perhaps the most vital measure before the nation today), Mviand the question of Monetary»‘Con- : ..; trol. ‘ ~79 ,Without ' GATION and FEDERAL MONEY elimination of SECRE- CONTROL all*‘ other efforts to gain economic or social security are val- ue1ess;. »‘ ‘ FATHER. DIVINE’S PLATFORM IS N OT INDEFINITE OR AMBIG- platform might be cited—but , ‘these are uppermost just\now.. The “SPOKEN WEED?’ UOUS. It leaves no doubt as to its MEANING. . ‘ The time has come for TALK-——and ACTION. FATHER DIVINE has charted the course for His followers and every honest-minded, fair citizen to take.

CANDIDATES AND PLATFORMS NOT ADVOCATING THESE SPE- CIFIC ISSUES CANNOT EXPECT ‘TO RECEIVE THE SUPPORT OF FATHER DIVINE FOLLOWERS. PLAIN Newsmen Perform As Usual Reading the dispatches of ' news- paper columnists reporting. the Cleve- land convention leaves one somewhat bewildered. A composite picture gleaned from these correspondents might run somethinglike this: A shabbily well-dressed group on sober delegates, somewhat under the weather after a big night, cheerfully sounded the death knell as the Re- publican party was re-born.‘ A liberal platform, exuding Old Guard conservatism ‘and reconciling the views of Tories and Communists, was approved by the farmers from the West who admitted taking the bankers from the East into camp and vice versa. A The night was hot and sultry yet cooling to the favorite sons who af- ﬁrmed and denied that they had formed a coalition to further the breach in the stop-Landon movement. In short, a gaily despondent time I was had by all. ‘Anthem of. the Universal (Tune: ‘‘America.’’)' “One Cosmic Brotherhood, ' One Universal Good, One Source, One Sway; One Law Beholding Us, One Purpose Moulding U-s, One Life Enfolding Us, , In Love Always.

Finds New Living C‘ Buddha Helped by Reflec- tions invLake Dispatches from the forbidden. kingdom of Tibet report a new Dalai Lama, or “living Buddha," was dis- ’ covered in the Han Jen district, north- I east of Lhasa after a search of more 1 than two years. _ The new Buddha was believed, the Tibetan advices said, to be a rein- carnation of the thirteenth Dalai Lama, who died December 17, 1933. The Dalai Lama is the spiritual and temporal ruler of Tibet, ‘I Tibetan monks and professional “diviners" have been searching for the reincarnated Dalai Lama ever since the death of the previous ruler, and reports received earlier from Lhasa said the omens were favorable for an early finding of the new living Buddha. ' The Tibetan new year began in February under auspicious circum- stances, reports from the “hermit kingdom” said. Spiritual authorities sent a deputation of high priests, sages, monks and philosophers to the sacred Chugkhorgyae Lake, east of, Lhasa, near which the ﬁrst Dalai Lama was born, to contemplate im-" ages reﬂected on the surface. The lake-gazers were reported suc- cessful in their quest. Visions pf a house bearing the mysterious words “A Ka Ma” appeared, believed to bear some relation to the name of the parentsof the future Dalai Lama. Theipopulace was instructed then to join in the search for the house and a child born about the time of the death of the former Dalai Lama. A Since the death ‘of the late Dalai. Lama under mysterious circumstances at Lhasa, the affairs of state have been in the hands of the temporal ‘regent, Jechen Hutukehtu. WEORLD SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION .

But far cries have never presented obstacles to the designing gods of neWspaperdom_ They have perpetu- ated some queer tricks upon city edi- tors. City editors have a bag full of such tricks, Reporters——naive lads, they are—are usually found holding the bag. _ Which ,more or less, has to do with a story, and yesterday morning's ’ mail. Comes a. Letter , So, came a letter. It is repro- duced, in full: ' “Gentlemen . . . Peace. “Some thirty-two (32) years ago I was a young boy and did the things a boy did in those days, One of_ my boyish pranks was to steal anything that was not nailed. One holiday that you did not print any papers, I entered your shipping room and stole an armful of your Spectators. The enclosed P.O. money order for $1.00 will fully pay for them, I am sure. I most humbly ask you to forgive me for this act. “While a baker for Mr. George Knapman on N. James street in Ham- ilton I stole some chocolates and ice 'cream_ I wish to pay him, but do »not know his address. .I will"”appre- ciate any one sending me his pres- ent location. “In 1919 I was a uniformed mur- derer (commonly called a. soldier). I entered a bakery operated by an old school chum of mine named Ed Goodfellow and stole his watch, given him by his mother. I will thank any one for his address. _ “I do not know any one else I owe, soshould ‘any one reading this Father Divine can make us. is open confession‘ know of any one I owe anything to I will appreciate it much. A Owes a Tailor “I now recall a tailor named Wil- liam Davis who made auniform for me and I sincerely ask you to locate either he or his nearest relative. “It is my privilege to confess t/his openly and frankly. I am not doing this for’ any other reason than to shame and humiliate the Old Man that used to resitie in this body. Fa- ther Divine (God In a,Bo‘dy) has changed me, Body and Mind, Along with twenty-two . million and /,more, Father Divine has made a new crea- ture of me. To-day I would not even break 3. traffic law. -A trip to 177 S. Main street, Welland, Ont., ,will show you just how clean and happy All the credit and glory for this confession Igoes ‘to Sweet Father Divine? 20 W. 115 street, New York ‘City, N. Y. “Thanking you and all concerned for forgiveness, I am, as I hope all to be, Well, Happy, Honest, Clean, In Body and Mind, free from most of my abominable preconceived ideas and opinions, and so, In His Spirit, “Respectfully and sincerely.” It is unnecessary to publish the name of this former Hamiltonian, now residing in Los Angeles, nor to dwell upon the fantastic designs of the news gods in‘ producing this story‘ ' for to-d'a"y’s Spectator, It is enough that the Spectator checked the au- thenticity of the confession. Man of Mystery This amazing man who calls him- self God, and has been able to con- vince his followers of the claim, ‘has appeared from time to time in the news in the last few years. From whence he came or how he has suc- ceeded in spreading his doctrine through the length and breadth of the United States remains as much of a. mystery‘ as the man himself. Many thousands of persons, partic- ularly outside of his New York “heav- en” headquarters, have embraced the cult and accepted‘ the man, ‘without reservation, as “God in a Body.” Father Divine is most certainly an astounding personality, and ad- mittedly all unéhown quantity to those outside-his cult.

Tuesday, June 23rd, 1936 _ g Inner Voice Reliaious Guide, Says Dr, Shepard Los Angeles, Calif., June 8th.—— That every person ,regardless of creeds, philosophies or race, posses- ses a “true guide” within himself, was stressed by Dr. Sheldon Shephard yesterday in his message to wor- shipers attending morning services at the First Universalist Church, 1373 South Alvarado Street. “Every religion has its place, every teacher serves his purpose and for» every idea there is an individual some- where who needs it,” he told his con- gregation. “Each human mind re- ceives the degree and form of truth for which itlis ready. Human think- ing is a process which cannot accept anything which does not conform to that which it has previously expe- rienced or already learned. One has to be prepared for the truth before he can receive it. Each Has His Own Faults “Persons of different creeds, de- nominations, religions, philosophies have no cause for quarreling among themselves. Each one has the true religion~—for him. We canot walk the same paths, We do not speak the same spiritual language. In every soul there is a vast area of loneliness, where one is with himself and God, “As individuals do not like best the same flowers, nor prefer the same music, nor wish the same friends, neither ‘are they helped by identical expression oftruth. All creeds are faulty, ﬁnite attempts to express an «inarticulate infinite. As none express- es clearly, completely and truly the nature of the Inexpressible, the follow- ers of one way should not think that their way is superior to all others. It is best for them, but may not be the best way for their neighbors. Inner Voice Guides “The true guide for every person is the Inner Voice. Teachers, author- ities, dogmas and creeds are merely crutches to help him along until he is ready for the Teacher Within. In fact, the Divine Wisdom within him uses the.creeds, priests and teachers to bring whatever help the believer receives. 4 “Every person’s religion is right as long as he receives that which he “th_i_nfks he ‘needs and that which min- isters ‘to his peace and well being.- The ‘_‘S_I?OKEN But eventually the growing soul will come to the realization of the truth that within there lies the source of all wisdom,” he concluded. Lynching Bill Before House Washington, June 16th.——An anti- lynching‘ bill was forced out of the House Judiciary Committee, where it has been lying dormant for near- ly two years, today, when Republic- ans and Northern Democrats joined forces in a surprise move. The action of the group took the effect of a petition containing 218 signatures demanding the discharge of the committee from further con- sideration of the bill and was seeh Pn.g929 as a possible bar in the path of ear- ly adjournment. The bill, sponsored by Represent- ative Gavagan (D.), of New York, would make lynching a Federal of- fense punishable by imprisonment of persons implicated in mob, viol- ence and fine of the community ,where the lynching occurs. Pleasure is like a sprained ankle-— you have it all to yourself—but hap- piness ‘is like meas1es—-you cannot have it without giving it to some one else.——J. E. Roxburgh.

By JOHN CANTERBURY With the two major party con- ventions over and virtually all the hats tossed in=to the political arena, frank observers are collecting them- selves in an endeavor to make some: intelligible pattern out of the clut- tered picture in the field of national politics. All the parties and all of the candidates have come out. into the open in the initial skirmish, mak- ing known their aims and purposes. The Republicans have held their somewhat indefinite convention. The Democrats have gone through their pre-arranged and somewhat less obscure ritual. The militant Com- munists have released their always “progressive” platform and indicted both their Republican and Demo- cratic opponents, valtho a bit more mildly than in former years. The Union Party has made its bow with a platform which has evoked con- troversy, as well as- doubt as to its true liberal intents. Even the remnants of the Socialists laid down their principles in state con- vention in New York. The remain- ing factors in American political -life;-—the Townsend forces, the Pro- gressives, and the other‘. diverse .factions,——-plan to meet in session this month to release their plans for the Presidential campaign and national well being _in general. Out of all this diversified - and abundant political furor of the past few weeks, what is the inference to be drawn. as to the trend of Have the liberal forces in American life at last “ entered through the portals to come into (Continued on page 26.) “OUR FATHER’S MESSAGE!” AT THE BANQUET TABLE, NO. 20 WEST 115TH STREET, NEW YORK CITY, TUESDAY EVE- NING, JUNE 30-, 1936 A.D.F.D, TIME: 1:00 A.M. There is a Scripture Quotation which reads like this: “Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep." May we for an instance, for the sake of the redemption of the Press, stop for a brief second at this juncture, to give, a Word of Warning to those in the Field of ‘Journalism, to the reporters and ed- itors of the Press generally. We are not rejoicing especially, because ‘we see the doom and the great fall of the Press, but we are re- joicing because the Word of GOD must be fulﬁlled, and it is.written: “I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh: When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a -whirlwind: when distress and anguish cometh upon you, -then shall they call upon ME, but I will not answer; they shall seek ME early, but they_ shall not ﬁnd ME, for they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD: They would have none of MY COUNSEL: they de- spised all MY REPROOF-: Therefore, shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be ﬁlled with their own devices, for the. turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the pros- perity of fools shall destroy them.” Already the Press is fearing, and anguish has come unto those who must seek to furnish material for the reading public. Up until this _time, it did not appear that the matter of ignoring the laudable and Righteous Works of GOD, by the Press, was an occasion of much concern, because the Followers, like unto the Supreme Judge, were meek and enduring, but a sudden whirlwind of destruction now faces the foundation of Journal- ism, because GOD.has opened His Mouth, and hath given a Command to the millions of followers of‘ the Universe that we will stand for RIGHTEOUASNESIS, JUSTICE and TRUTH in.thisi Field, even as we have, and do intend to, in each and every Field of Expression‘, regard- less of the cost. Read the contents of this MES- SAGE, if you would know the mys- tery of the solidarity of the Bond of UNITY between GOD and the Twen- ty-‘odd Millions of Followers, and the Pledge of FAITH and CONFIDENCE that they have vowed to their CREA- TOR. » . . The hundreds of 'thousands"of left- over daily newspapers in. the Print- ing Press is but a small fraction of the consummation of the ﬁnancial loss, as the result of the FIDELITY of the Followers of FATHER DI- VINE, for when GOD spoke the Word to FAST from all that is un- wholesome, stale and vomitory in the way of reading matter, the Follow- ers, rejoiced to fulﬁll the Good P1eas- ’ ure of their LORD, therefore, the millions throughout the length and“ breadth of the land, will unanimously , act accordingly, that they might only . imbibe that which is pure, true and . ‘lofty. This is 2.

Thank YOU FATHER BE- LOVED. ' “PEACE EVERYONE: i;(“Peace FATHER DEAR!” enthu- s‘ astically greeted the Throng.) Here we all are, and here I AM—One in all, and all in One. This is the pur- pose for the cording that we are do- ing¥-unifying ourselves in thought A and in mind that there may be but one Mind when the work.iso done. All of your human divided opinions, ideas and thoughts will eventually be completely eradicated by the differ- ent individuals coming with the‘dif- fet"e_n_t thoughts, different ideas and opinions, There are many different expressions in this great Vibration, for’ you are quickened by the Spirit of MY Consciousness, and your bodies vibrate together, but: one may ex- press after this manner,Vand another, in other words, the other after that, but through all ofhthese emotions and expressions, we are acquainting ourselves with the different vibrations and‘ with the different emotions. By acqu/ainting yourselves with them, when the emotions of the different individuals are exhibited, you will not be afraid of it, you will not be strange to it, and it will not be strange to you. A ' JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST It is a privilege to realize in these audiences, we have every .Re1igion’s expression and emotion since the be- ginning of the world, for all of these different vibrations of the Religion’s expressions, in their emotions, are , coming forth to the Judgment, yea, the great Judgment Seat of CHRIST. By coming forth into expression, they are being reincarnated and manifest- ed as delegates and as a delegate, each of them, for the respective emo- tional‘ expressions of the Religion or other emotions from whence they came, It _ is ’a wonderful thought to be able to comprehend in all things, which is to say, to understand the different emotions and expressions whereby you will be able to be in harmony with the POSITIVE, even" though 'it may apparently be adverse to your preconceived idea concern- ing the mystery, but as you har- P ; i_n.o_nize and cord in this wonderful -to ﬁnd out something. jseeking something at times that will AT-ONE-MENT, you will eventually put off your individual ways, and will bring your bodies into‘ subjec- tion to the Vibrations and the Spirit of MY PRESENCE that be. So it is a privilege to live in the actual PRESENCE of GOD, and know with- in ? yourself once and for all time, GOD is with you at all times—where GOD is, there is HIS HOME. SPIRIT OF GOD IS TRANSFORMING Now there are many in these au- diences from time to time, who come They are be appeasing to their mortal minds. If you do not come to seek Salva- tion, something that is essential for your REDEMPTION, you will go away pretty well sure of not having i-t; nevertheless, as it has been said by some, there have been a number from time to time, who would come in these audiences, as it was with Paul, or Saul whichever, when they get in these audiences, the very Spir- it of MY PRESENCE would change their minds, and change their abil- ity to think nega-tively, because the very Spirit of MY PRESENCE in It- self is ‘TRANSFORMING. Therefore, if you wait patiently, and meekly wait and murmur not, MY Spirit will make a miraculous change, not only in your emotions and expressions, but in your; hearts and in your minds. I need not. say more at -this time, as I have said enough for the. last couple of days, for the whole world, by the Words I have said, to be SAVED, . . If you will jot them down in your vocabularies, and cause them, through your contact with ME, , to become to be an important piece of Literature, to be read in yourleisure, it will be a wonderful Blessing for you,—whi1e yet, it is not necessary to read them unless you wish to. If you will incarnate MY Words which I have spoken, and concentrate on the, FUNDAMENTAL, the transmission of MY SPIRIT will be to you, to teach you all WISDOM whatsoever I have said to you, That is the great signiﬁcance of the ALLNESS of GOD and the nothingness of matter. For ‘this cause, we are rejoicing, and we are exceedingly glad, because we know within -ourselves, we have the VICTORY, and as far as people talk- . ’_ -ing, is concerned, ‘fmen may come and men may go, but I go on f,orever.3’i ‘is it? ' MY SPIRIT are not open to it. Now early Evening, I thought "of ' great .RIGHTEQUS GOVERNMENT C-LIPPING THE WINGS. OF THE POLITICIANS "At times, even the Speaker said a little while ago, that someone - seemed to have been talking some- thing or speaking of something neg- ative, those of us who are lost in MY SPIRIT, they did not even hear it. (“No FATHER DEAR, it is true,” corroborated the Followers.) Why It is because MY MIND and isn’t that wonderful? While sitting and thinking in the this MOVEMENT, and how it is stirring ‘up the politicians, until they thought to themselves they would try to seek something, no doubt, to discredit ME, not knowing that _I had the scis- sors or the sheers—I would -clip their wings. It is delight in those things. When and wheresoever an individ- ual, or individuals or an institution even, rises in opposition to ME, I delight in it, because every knock is a BOOST; every criticism is a ‘PRAISE; every cursing is a BLESS- ING and every stumbling block is at STEPPING-STONE’. Everyone who . tries to hinder, they are helpers in disguise, therefore, naught can hin- "der ME in any of MY endeavors,'for I will accomplish that for which I came, with or without this BODY, . ‘but little did they think that as-I had said several years ago, the mil- =lions of MY Followers throughout the Universe, if I would call a "STRIKE, in other words, call a FAST " on eating the bread of the Pharisees, ‘by not ‘reading a prejudicial news- paper and other prejudicial period- icals, I would STOP MILLIONS from reading today. We are FASTING, and we mean to continue to FAST. FEASTING ON MATERIAL F00-D-— We are not fasting from material food, we are «feasting on the ‘mate- rial food as sustenance for the body, but by the Spirit of MY PRESENCE, I AM F:A'S'I‘VIl\_I_G Mentally from ‘participating with those who would write negative articles, and all preju- diced and distorted articles that would be written in such papers. Now isn’t that wonderful? (“Truly wonder- ful!” shouted the Angels in a loud voice.) Now if they wish for ME to call the STRIKE off, let them ad- indeed wonderful!

Just look at the condition of the City today——‘filled ‘with vice and crime of every kind, but how can we rid our City, our State and our Country of vice and crime un- less we cleanse the Government oili- cials of the dishonesty, corruption and debauchery of every kind in them. Oh! it is something to con- sider;——suppose we stop for consid- eration at this juncture, and point out the dishonesty and the exploita- .tion of those who are called officials, who would assess the .value of prop- erty at from twenty-ﬁve (25) to ﬁfty (50) percent, yea, even no doubt, , seventy-ﬁve (75) percent more than . the actual value of the property. OFFICIALS FIRSTLY CLEANSED OF CORRUPTION How do you mean to get rid of corruption from among the common people and the inhabitants of the City, if those of the officials will not cleanse themselves from dishonesty and corruption. It is indeed wonder- ful! How can it be . . . Nextly, to S ’ assess a piece of property for‘thirty- . \ The “SPOKEN worm" ﬁve or forty thousand dollars, when the actual value is not more than twenty-five thousand. Now isn’t that wonderful? Get at the corruption in the higher-ups, and root it out. We will not stand for it, We will not tolerate it, It is indeed wonder- ful! Assessing property at twenty- ﬁve thousand dollars, when the actual value of it, is not more than ﬁfteen‘ thousand. It is indeed wonderful! I AM talking about RIGHTEOUS- NESS!

It is wonder- ful! Not one of the property own- -ers should tolerate it. That is why -the robbers, the bandits, etc., will go in your banks and hold you up. They say they will get their part. Get rid of the dishonesty from the top, and we will have power to rid our City of the dishonesty and the cor- ruption at the bottom. ESSENTIAL TO BE TRULY CONVERTED . Now tell them I said it, Why is it that there are so many bank rob- bers? It is because of the» dishon- esty among many of the otﬁcials, who will endorse and tolerate the dishon- esty of themselves among one an- other, to take the advantage of the common people. LIVE RIGHT! DO RIGHT! That is why it is essential for every organization, even to the great political machinery to be truly converted by this great Conversion of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, of which I AM express- mg.

Translated by Yi sPa.o Mei.)“ ‘ The wise man who has charge of governing theempire should know ‘the cause of diso‘r;der‘before he can put it in order . 'Suppose we . try‘ to locate "the cause of ‘disorder, we shall find it lies in the want of mutual love. What is called dis- order is just the lack of filial piety on the ‘part of the minister and the son towards the emperor and the father." ' "As ‘he loves himself and. V ‘not his father‘, the son benefits him- , self to the idisadvantage of his fa- ther. Ashe lovesyhimself and not his elder‘ brother, the younger broth- er benefits himself to the disad- vantage of his elder brother. As _he loves himself and not his em- peror,‘ the minister benefits ‘him-' self to the disadvantage of his em- peror. And these are what is call- ed disorder. When the father shows no affection to the son.- When the elder brother shows no affection to , the younger brother, and the emperor shows no affection to the minister, on the "other. hand, it is also the" father ‘loves only himself and not the son, he benefits himself to . the disadvantages of the younger brother. When the emperor only loves himself and not his minister, he benefits himself to the‘ disad- vantage of his minister, and the reason for a.ll of these is want of .’ mutual love. ,’This is true even among thieves and robbers. As he loves only his one family" and not other. families, ' the thief steals from other families" to profit his" own family. As he loves only his ‘own person and not others, the‘ robber does violence t0‘ others‘ to‘ profit himself. _‘And the reason for all this is" want-oflove. frhisjagain is ‘true in the mutual disturbance among the houses of‘ the ministers‘ and the mutual in-I _» vasions among ' the states of the feudal lords.

As he loves only his own state and not, the others, the feudal lord" attacks the other .-. --- .'.~- ~’-.‘. called disorder. 'When - “s.ro.K.EN WORD” states to proﬁt his own. These in- stances exhaust the confusion in the world. And when we look in- to the causes we find they all arise from want of mutuallove. i ‘Suppose everybody in the world loves universally, loving others as oneself. Will there yet be any un- ﬁlial individual? When everyone regards his father, elder brother, and emperor as himself, .whereto can he direct any unfilial feeling? Will there still be any unaffection- ‘ate individuals? _When everyone re- gards his younger brother, son‘ and minister as himself, whereto can he direct any disaffection? "There- fore there wi11,not be any unfilial _,'feeling or disaffection. Will there then be any thieves and robbers? When everyone. regards other per- sons as hisown. pers0_n,.who "will rob?_ Therefore there will not be any thieves or robbers. » If every one in the world will love universal-ly: states not attack- -ing one another; houses not dis- turbing one another; thieves and robbers becoming extinct; emperor and ministers, fathers and sons all ,being affectionaite and filial——if this’. all ‘comes ‘to pass the world will be- orderly.

(From the (books of the’ 'a,}bove Bros,» who holds his breath _at the far nam e—I-Iarper and Page 8 The “SPOKEN worm" Enjioying Sorrow—0r Turning Sorrow to JOY Present—day psychologists declarec that there is a distinct type of mental or nervous disorder that actually en- joys suffering. In fact that single symptom applies to a wide range of such disorders—from the mildly nerv- ous person who is never without some dull anxiety, to the hypochondriac, or victim of melancholia—who just sits around or roams about feeling sorry for himself. Psychoanalysts group all these ten- dencies under the loose, general term of “Masochism,” which means get- ting one’s plea-sure out of pain. There is no doubt whatever that the Christian Church, with its sol- .,emn_ and somber emphasis on the death of Jesus, the Cross of Jesus, the “blood’ ’ of Jesus, has done much to encourage and nourish this strange perversion, Many‘ circles of Chris- tians have-seemed to consider it al- most if not quite a. sin to be gen- uninelyl happy. . In the case of the Puritans, theirs was a double malady. They were steeped in the gloom and the terrors of the Old Testament, living always in the tremors of Sinai’s thundering, soul slaves of The Law. Andadded -to this Old Testament gloom was the haunting sorrow of many phases the New. A study of Christian hymns brings out interestingly this mournful ele- ment in so-called Christianity. ‘ “We must suspect some danger nigh, Whene'er we taste delight,” Or: -“And let me weep my life away For having grieved Thy Love,” And so on. This note of chronic sadness has been so pronounced that even in cases in which both words and tune might be sung brightly, the church has adopted -the tempo of the dirge, and gone on shedding its woeful tears. All the foregoing is introductory to a casual occurrence of a few days ago on that mysterious block on West 115th Street between Lenox and Fifth Avenues, on which mental, spiritual and physical miracles are taking place every hour of the day and night. It is the Street of Illu- mination. The block where New Light comes upon old problems——— ,0 . problems both big and little, personal and general. , Well-the other morning an Angel came in and sat down at my desk to talk. I could sense that she was a bit depressed. We chatted a little while—about FATHER and His bless- ings, about our work, touching on one or two problems. Then she began to hum—-still sit- ting in the chair alongside the desk, as I went ahead with the morning’s work. It was a sweet, sad old tune, a Church classic. Words and tune were as familiar as “Now I lay me down to sleep-—” And as she hummed——soft1y, slow- ly, solemnly, thoughtfully, the words went through my mind, along with the music— “Come ye disconsolate, where'er ye languish, Come to the Mercy-seat, fervently kneel, Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish, Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Rather ﬁne hymn-writing, one must acknowledge, éven if the words may be a little sober. Sort of bitter- sweet. And the next stanza~— “Joy of the desolate, light of the straying Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot cure.” Still beautiful, still full of wistful and tender hope. But always sung, as if the sorrow is still clinging and ‘will not be abolished for some time to come. The next stanza comes somewhat closer to forthright jo'y—— “Here see the Bread of Life, see waters ﬂowing, . . Forth from the Throne of God, pure from above. . . Come to the feast of love, come ever ‘knowing, ‘ Earth__ha_t1: no sorrow but heaven can remove. Tuesday, July 7th, 1936 All this was along sometime in the morning. Toward midnight, I heard those strains again—the same strains, but how different! The sounds were coming from FA- THER DIVINE'S banquet table, eight doors away, Windows and doors wide open to the summer night—the beautiful strains came throbbing out on the night air, pulsing with joy. I could not catch the words; I do not ’know whether or not the old words are retained in this Kingdom version. But I do know that the tempo was stepped up to full twice the speed. If any reference remained in the words that were being sung to “sor- row,” or to being “disconso1ate,"_ or ‘ever having known “anguish,” surely ‘the syllables were being drowned in this sea of rapturous, rapid, rhythmic Iglory. Full‘ double the speed——- And why not? I asked myself. Try«it. ‘Take that last stanza, put it before you on the piano—and then sing the words“ in Kingdom time in- stead of as the old church requiem tdirge—— ‘ ~“Here see the Bread of Life, see waters ﬂowing, Forth from the Throne of God, pure from above. Come to the Feast of Love, come ever knowing, Earth hath no sorrow but heaven can remove.” ' It works, doesn't it? If we are going to get our sorrow removed, let’s get it removed. If the Kingdom of Heaven can indeed “heal” and “cure" and “remove” the sorrow, let it be done and let’s have an end of it for- ever_ The Church made a dirge even of its deliverance. They made such pretty poems and tunes about their sorrows that instead of singing their sorrows away, they sang them deeper into their. souls. In the midnight singing at the Kingdom there is not even a memory of sorrow. It is, in- deed, h.ealed, cured, and removed. And ,the old dirge of the “Discon- solate” has become a quick-step march of deliverance and. victory, A. H. Howland. Why all this fret and worry; Why all this heavy care? There is not lack where God is And God is everywhere.

It has been contend- ed in some quarters that since a. ‘‘People’s Party” formerly existed in the United States, the new organiza- tion could’ not use the word “Peo- ple’s.” “But,” the Committeeman pointed out, “the use of the word ‘All’ in the new name is a radical change from the ancient name. This ' is in addition to the fact that the old name has necessarily lapsed be- cause of non-use.” '1‘-he Committeemani expressed the belief -that even the .ti.mAe-honored names, “Republican’-’ and “Demo- 'cra_t”- could,_be .utilized by new groups .. adding, qualifying terms to the ancient labels. As we find in ‘ European countries such organiza- tions as “Social Democrats,” so we might have parties here with names formed in the same way——.“Progres- sive Democrats,” "or- “Republican- Labor.” ~ In fact there have long existed in the United States the two Socialist parties, one 2 called simply, “Socialist,” the other «“So— cialist-Labor.” . P “In any case,” continued the Com- mitteeman, “the All People’s Party has made a great’ start. »We hear that the name and the idea is tak- ing root in other localities, and I‘ am convinced that, right here in Harlem‘we have started a political movement which within a very short time will have to be reckoned with on a national scale.” Politics Become Spiritualized The Nation, worthy exponent of the liberal cause, regards somewhat lightly Dr. Frank»N_ D. Buchman’s efforts to spiritualize our two major political parties.‘ Referring “to Dr. Buchman, the Oxford Group head,- as a “streamlined revivalist,” The Na- tion ponders over the religious lead- er's late admonition to the Demo- crats at Philadelphia to “let God their platform” with these , poses added incentives ’1‘l_le_ SSPOKIQN. worm." “ ""_I‘he thing can be arranged by , ‘getting in touch’lwith God, for whom Dr. Buchman seems to be pub1ic-re- lations counsel in a nice way. So far the writing/' of the Democratic plat-" form has been conducted on a strict- lyl mundane basis, and the donkey has not applied for admission to Dr. Buchman’s heavenly circus . . . Dr.‘ Buchman will have to prove that he can change. votes as well as lives be- fore he can hope to become spiritual adviser to the Democratic National Committee_” ,-’ V Note: A little more speciﬁc infor- mation might beifurnished our skep- tical friends of The Nation, as well _as the befuddled Democratic and -Re- publican leaders, by investigating FATHER DIVINE in New York who not only has written a Platform which can be “felt and handled” but is also about the task of’ changing millions of “votes and lives.” Senator»Wagner Asks Sup- port for His Anti-Lynch Bill Senator Robert H. Wagner, speak- ing before the delegates to the an- nual meeting ,of the N.A.A.C.P., in session at Baltimore, said that only Federal legislation could end lynch- ing in the United ‘States. He drew prolonged applause ‘in ” asserting “fifty millions people have united in pleading for the enactment of a Federal anti-lynching law” and pledging himself to a irenewedtfight toward this end. He insisted the Wagner.-Costigan bill offered at the last session of Congress "does , not invaded. states’ rights but “interferes only with mob lrule.” The measure, he added, im- upon’ the states to do their duty. Its principal provisions are heavy penalties for officers whose neglect V of duty may lead. to ‘mlobiviolence or . who . fail to ' apprehend and prose- cute lynch mobs ‘leaders, ‘trial of lynchleaders in Federal courts, and heavy fines upon the counties where lynclhings occur, the money to go to the benefit of --the victims" families. Meanwhile the many‘ thousands of American, "citizens ' affiliated’ with the Righteous Government of Fa- ther Divine’s Peace Mission are ‘con- vinced that the only effective meas- ure -‘yet put forth — for ending the lynching. evil is the Anti-Lynch Bill personally formulated by: Father Di- vine and now included as an,_in- tegral part of ‘the Righteous ,Gov-" ernment Platform. .

Kingdom Extension in New Rochel1e.~ Making two trips Father Divine’s plane brought four or five of His secretaries and other staff members from the upstate location. At the airport here Father Divine was met by a _group of followers and a cara- van of 10 cars V, escorted Him to the city. With characteristic informality Father Divine rode in the rumble seat of a car driven by “The Fly- ing Angel,” one of His followers, a licensed pilot, who on frequent oc- casions takes Him on plane -trips. ‘Notwithstanding His seven passenger Buick” coach, Val Rolls Royce, sev- eral other large cars, the Leader choseqto ride in this fashion much i to the delight ofithe Children. _Arriving at the _ Kingdom at 99 Winyah Street, a colonial brick building of distinctive appearance, Father‘ Divine addressed the ' Righteous Government Forum New Rochelle . .meeting in the Auditorium in the early evening and afterward spoke at the Banquet Table. The building overflowed‘ with‘ humanity. Enthus- iasm was rarely seen at such a high pitch. Among -the visitors, of whom there 7 were may, a delegation of’ city gov- -ernment officials from, Bridgeport, Connecticut. Bridgeport, it Will be remembered, has ‘a Socialist govern- ment and -[boasts the distinction of many outstanding advances in muni- cipal government, The 7 city -today stands free of debt with an efficient city government headed by a “work- er-Mayor.” A ’ _ q iWihile at the Banquet Table the visitors were invited to address the assembly.

I Thank You Father. . This Temple was bathed in all this Glorious LIGHT, and as I looked around I noticed all the children too, were not only bathed in this Radiantly LIVING LIGHT, but their old ﬁbodiesgseemed also to hliive departed, they were sitting ' 4! there in these ‘beautiful bodies of Light, and as if tho’ they were silently listening, and witnessing this glorious revelation; temple did not see the czhildrens" old bodies vanishing away, but there, they were, sitting in" these beautiful bodies of Spiritual Light. I thank You Father. _ . It was all so overwhelmingly Glorious, that this temple was just speechless, how ever, the thought went out and said,——O Father Dear, this is all so REAL, and so CLEAR, ——if only we could hear your Holy VOICE too,———Father answered at once the tho’t, and said, “All the Real ones hear my voice, even tho’ I seemingly may appear silent,—I have, and am preparing many temples, thru’ whom my voice is speaking, and all the true, and faith- ful, recognize, and hear my voice, and accept, what I am pouring thru’ those who live Evangelically, and are in deeds, and in actions, express- ing the principles of my Funda- mental Spirit, and the Mouth of God hath declared it.” I thank you Fa- ther. Much more was given to this‘ temple,’ about Fathers Embodiment in the flesh, and the reason for His condescension at this auspicious time, which however, would’ take up too much time and space to relate, however at the conclusion of this marvelous vision, I heard Father's Holy Thought say—I am resolving everything back into Spirit again, hence, .I materialize the Spiritual, and Spiritualize the material, and with the vwords,—-following “Be. still, and know, that I am GOD, still ringing on my lips, the beautiful ’vision seemed to have faded -away- I thank you Father.

I936 Platform of the communist Party [Complete Text] Tuesdél’; Jilly ‘Vtli, . ' I ’ our living standards. Following the text or the Communist Party the American Bankers Association, the United platform, adopted at Madison Square Ggrden, New States Chamber of Commerce, the Ku Klux_ Klan York City, June 30, 1936: _ The American people today face the greatest crisis since the Civil War. Extreme reaction threatens the country, driving towards fascism and a new World War. _ To meet this danger to our liberties and welfare we must unite our ranks. In common action we must go forward to overcome this crisis in an American way, in the spirit of 1776, in the interests of our people and our country. The collapse of the Hoover-‘Republican prosperity destroyed our boasted American standards of liv- ing. _The New Deal failed to protect and restore r American capitalism is un,-. able to provide the American people with the sim- ple necessities of life, . Over 12,000,000 able-bodied and willing worker are without jobs, For a. majority of these there is no hope of jobs. ‘ The income of the working-people has been cut/ in half. Half our farmers have lost their land. They are being converted into a pauperized peas- antry. _ . 2 Millions of young people face a future without hope, without any prospect of ever being able to‘ establish a home or rear a. family. Cites Conditionspof . . . feople. The , , . people suffer doubly. Most exploited of working people, they are also victims of jim-crow- ism and lynching. They are denied the right to live as human beings. V y _ Civil rights are being systematically attacked and curtailed. The Supreme Court has usurped the power of Congress. It is destroying all labor and social legislation. _ ‘, Reactionary forces, roused and organized by Hearst and the Liberty League, are striving to seize the Government fully. They want to"saddle the entire burden of the crisis uponcthe people, to establish a fascist regime and move toward war in the side of Hitler, the butcher of the German people and the chief maker of war. Tile peace; freedom and. security -of the people are at stake. Democracy or fascism, progress or reactions-this is the central issue of 1933. At’ the head of the camp of reaction stands the Republican par-ty_.the party or Wall Street, the party of the banks and monopolies. Landon and Knox are supported by the barons of steel, oil, auto and, munitions; by_Morgan, the duf’onts;,and by that_‘arch enemy or all decency, William Randolph l iieast. They, are the candidates, cg the Liberty League, the National‘ Association of Manufacturers,‘. and the Black Legion. Call for a. Farmer-Labor Party _ Roosevelt is bitterly attacked by the c'ainp of reaction, But he does not ﬁght back these attacks,-' Roosevelt compromises, He grants but small con- cessions to the working people, while making big concessions to Hearst, Wall Street, to the reac- tionaries. ‘ i The working people must organize themselves independently, under their own banner, with their own leadership and program. They must organize a great Farmer-Labor Party to ﬁght for and estab- lish a People’s Government——a government of, for and the people. They must unite the forces of progress against the forces of reaction. The secretly formed Union Party of Lemke and Coughlin is not the new party for which the people are looking. It is the creature of Landon, Hearst and the Liberty League. Under cover of radical sounding words, its program contains essentially the same.proposals as the Republican platform. It is deceiving its followers. It is the tool of the re.- ‘ actionaries. / But a real peop1e’s party is arising. Organized by the workers and farmers themselves the Farmer- Labor Party is growing in the majority of states, Unable to put up a presidential ticket this year it is organizing on a national scale. It ﬁghts for 10,- cal, state and congressionaloﬁices. is the most hopeful sign in American political life. It is co- operating with the powerful trade unions in the new Labor’s Non-Partisan League against the Re- publicans. It will undoubtedly, be a major con- tender in the presidential elections of 1940. The Communist Party unconditionally supports the building of the Farmer-Labor Party. It pledges itself to work to bring the trade unions and ‘all progressive forces into its ranks. Th'le Socialist Party on a national scale, is withholding its _co- operation With, all other groups. It Zconducts a harmful policy of isolation; It gives little help to the people’s struggle against reaction. We appeal to the Socialist Party to change its course, urge it to unite with us and the mass of the toilers against reaction. A » In this situation the ,commnnist Party comes forward with its own presidential ticket and its own platform. It enters the campaign to defend and promote the unity of the working people. It pledges to ﬁght for their interests, to defeat the re-- actionaries, to build the Farmer-Labor Party, and finally, to win the masses to the banner of SoeiEi1' ism. The chief aim of the ‘cbiniilunist Party'tbii§:3; rgasaey, July viii, 1938; l . no «spokes waits»- H is to_ defeat the Landon-Hearst-Liberty League re- action———to defeat the forces of Wall Street. « .The Communist Party and its candidates stand on the following platform which expresses the im- mediate interests of the majority of the population of our country: ' I. Put America Back to -Wor‘k—-‘Provided Jobs‘ and a Living wage- Open the closed factories—we need all that our industries can produce. If the private employers will not or cannot do so, then the government must open and operate the factories, mills and mines for the beneﬁt of the people. Industry and the productive powers of our I137 tion must be used to give every Working man and woman a real, American standard of living, with a minimum annual wage guaranteed by law. We demand equal opportunity for women in in- dustry and all spheres of life,‘ We favor legislative measures for the improvement of the wages and working conditions of women, — . We demand a thirty-hour week without reduction, in earnings, at trade union rates and conditions, in, private industry and on public works. We oppose the present railroad consolidation pol- icy which results in the discharge of hundreds of thousands of workers. .t we demand higher wages and vacations with pay. We demand the abolition of the wage difference be- tween the North and ‘the South. II. - Provide Unemployment Insurance, Old Age Pen- sions, and Social Security for All It is the obligation of the American government to establish an adequate system of social insurance for the unemployed, the aged, the disabled and the sick, as provided in the Frazier-Lundeen Bill. This Bill proﬁ‘-ides compensation to all unemployed with- out exception, and pensions for the aged from 6Q years, at rates equal to former earnings ,but in no case less tha‘n.$15 per week. Make the Frazier- Lundeen Bill the law .of the land! _ We favor a federal system of maternity and health insurance. _ _ . We stand, for adequate relief standards for all un- employed. We demand a stop to all relief cuts. The Federal Government must continue and extend the WPA. We favor an extensive Federal Works Pro- gram, to provide housing at low rentals, schools, hospitals, health and recreational facilities, as pro,- -vided for in the proposed six billion dollar appro- priation of the Marcantonio Relief Standards Bill. We support the demands of the Veterans for uni- form pension laws and for adequate hospitalization. III. Save The Young Generation!’ Our country can and must provide opportunity, education and work for the youth of America. These demands of the young people as embodied in the ‘American Youth Act—the Benson-Amlie "Bill must be enacted into. law. This Bill provides for jobs, educational opportuni- ties "and vocational training for all youth between the ages of 1 and 25. A The National Youth Administration budget- must be maintained and enlarged. Military training in the CCC and schools must be abolished. ‘ Free education and financial assistance, -to the youth and the children must be guaranteed by both Federal and State appropriations, . Child labo_r must be once and for all abolished and made unconstitutional. IV. Free the Farmers From Debts, Unbearable Tax Burdens and Foreclosures. Guarantee The’ Land To Those who Till The Soil We declare that ‘the American government is ob-. liged to save the American farmers from distress and ruin, to guarantee the farmer and tenants their inalienable rights to possession of their land, their homes and chattels. We demand for this purpose the immediate reﬁnancing of the farmer’s debts with government loans at nominal interest. We demand a stop to evictions and foreclosures and a long term moratorium on all needy farmers’ debts and measures taken to provide land for the landless farmers. We favor immediate relief to the drought stricken farmers by the government. We favor a graduated land tax to prevent the accumulation of large land holdings in the hands of the insurance companies, private and government banks and other absentee owners. g . -, We favor exemption from taxation of small oper- ating farmers and farm cooperatives. We are unalterably opposed to the policy of crop destruction and curtailment. We support government regulation of farm prices with the aim of guaranteeing to the farmer his cost of production. We urge scientific soil conservation under supervision of the elected‘,representatives of farmers organizations withcompensation to farm- er-owners_ and tenants for loss of income. V. The Rich iioizi the We,a1th_,of Our éountry—- Make The Rich Pay «. *- We demand that social and labor legislation shall - befinanced and the budget balanced by taxation upon the rich. We are opposed to the sales tax in any form, including processing taxes, and call for their immediate repeal. The main sourcelof govern; ment finance must be a system of sharply graduated taxation upon incomes of over ,$5,0().0 3 ye‘?-¥,',_ “P0? corporate profits and surpluses as well as taxation upon the present tax exempt securities and large gifts and inheritances. People of small income, small property and home owners must be protected against foreclosures and seizures and from burden- some taxes and high interest rates. We are unconditionally opposed to inflationary , policies which bring catast,ropl"ie,,aI,1d ruin to the workers, farmers and middle classes and enrich, the speculators. . » . M. iii. 1 P3580 .14. Ila I must be prohibited by law, I . n We favor nationalization of the entire banking system. ’ ‘ VI. Defend and extend democratic and civil liberties! Curb the Supreme Court! We support a, constitutional amendment to put; an end to the dictatorial and usurped powers of the Supreme Court. We demand further that Congress immediately reassert its constitutional powers’ to enact social and labor legislation and to curb the Supreme Court usurpation. We champion the unrestricted freedom of speech_, press, radio and assembly and the right to organize and strike. We call upon the people to safeguard these traditional liberties. We stand for Federal legislation which will es- tablish labor’s full right to collective bargaining, which will outlaw the company unions, the spy and stool pigeon systems, and all other coercion by em- ployers. We demand heavy penalties and imprisonment for employers guilty of discharging workers for union or political activities. We demand the abolition of poll taxes and all oth.— er limitations on the right to vote. We demand the release of’ political prisoners among whom Tom Mooney, Angelo I-Ierndon, and the Scottsboro boys are but the outstanding examples. The infamous policy of deportation of‘ foreign- born workers must be stopped. The traditional American right of asylum for political refugees must be re-established. Anti-semitic propaganda Sectio'n VII—-Full Right for the . _ . People We demand that the . . .‘ . people be guaranteed complete equality, equal rights to jobs, equal pay for equal work, the full right to organize, vote, serve on juries, and hold public office. Segregation and discrimination must be declared a crime_ Heavy penalties must be established against mob rule, ﬂoggers and kidnapers with the death penalty for’ lynchers. We‘ demand the enforcement of the 13th, 14th, and 15-th, Amendments to the Constitution. VIII—KEEP AMERICA OUT OF WAR BY KEEP- ING WAR OUT OF THE WORLD We declare that peace must be maintained and defended at all costs. We declare in favor of strengthening all measures for collective security, We favor effective, financial and economic measures to this end by the League of Nations, against Hit- ler Germany, Italian Fascism and Japanese Im- perialism. These measures should be supported by the United States Government. - ‘We consider the expenditure of billions "of arma; ments and war preparations unnecessary and pro- vocative, contributing to the danger of a new world war. Instead of ever greater armaments, we be- lieve that the United States should develop an Amer- ican Peace Policy in close collaboration with the Soviet Union, based on complete prohibition of the sale or delivery of goods, or the granting of .loans to nations engaged iii 9; foreign war contrary to the The “SPOKEN WORD” provisions of the Kellogg Peace Pact. The huge funds now spent for armaments ‘should be turned to the support of the suffering people. I We demand the nationalization of the entire munitions industry. ‘ ‘ ‘ We demand an end to American intervention in the internal affairs of the Latin-American coun- tries and the Philippines. I We demand the strict non-recognition of the Japanese conquest in Manchuria and China, and of Italian conquest of Ethiopia, ,,.We support the Puerto Rican demand for inde- pendence. ‘ We support the complete independence andself-' determination of all oppressed nations. This platform represents the life-needs of V the majority of workers, farmers and middle classes to- day. - These demands can be won even under the present capitalistic system. This is being conclu- sively proven by the victories of People's Front in France. (We appeal to all members of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor and farm organizations, to our comrades in _the Socialist Party, to all who toil with hand or brain, to unite in a determinated ﬁght to achieve the demands of the people and to beat back the sinister forces of reaction. The ﬁght for those demands will organize and strengthen the people. It will give them deeper political experience and understanding, It will pre- pare them for the great decisions to come when it will be necessary to move forward to socialism. Today the immediate issue is democracy or fas- cism, But the consistent ﬁght for democracy in the conditions of declining capitalism will ﬁnally bring -us to the necessary choice of the Socialist path. Our ‘land is the richest in the world. It has the largest and most skilled working class. Every- thing is present to provide a rich and cultured life for the whole population. [Yet millions sta‘!-ve. The whole nation suffers, because capitalism is breaking down, because proﬁts are the first law and are put, above human needs—.—and the capitalist rulers are turning to fascism and war. -The Communist Party prepares the people to bring an end to this cruciﬁxion of humanity. Our economy must be taken from the incompetent and greedy hands of Wall Street, It must be made the common property of the whole people. It must be operated fully for the beneﬁt of all who work. This V will be socialism. Only when socialism will be es.- tablished, as today in the Soviet Union, will‘ there be no crisis, no poverty, no unemployment-——but abundance and security for all, with the gates of progress open to humanity. C Reactionaries of all shades cry out against social- ism. They say it is revolutionary. True, the change to socialism will be revolutionary, but since when is revolution un-American? On the contrary, revo- lution is the proudest tradition of our people who have always been among the most revolutionary peoples of theuworld. _ ‘ Communism is 39th Century Americanism.

Time is demanding Perfection and Righteousness and thus it is essen- ‘ tial that Good be magniﬁed. ~ Added to .the negative subjects that ‘are already enumerated is' discrimi- nationnagainst certain peopleand use ‘of. names designed‘ to lowrate these people and judge_t'he_rn inferior; yet themajority of so‘ in the category of Newsmonger. _ That the readers ‘may be assured that this Magazine is judging Right- eous judgment we quote __ what the best Eng_li_sh"¥ dictionary giv_e,s as a l.diéﬁnition of a New_smonger—“the newspapers (so-T ' ; called) consider this.discrimina.tion as valuable news and the kind of read-_, Wing matter desired by its readers. » This/practice puts thepublication al-_ synonymous words are; gossip, quid- nunck, gossiper, tattler, busybody, talebearer, scandlemonger, tell-tale, informer, chatterer, narrator, re- counter, reciter, , ‘ One who has beenin the habit of reading these newspapers or news- mongers may argue that they are simply making their record of these happenings. If they felt it necessary to devote space, as a record of these unpleasant events we might be jus-V tified, provided theyconﬁned the rec- ord to a few words, and gave it an unimportant position in the period- ical. Yet on the contrary we ﬁnd that so—cal1ed Journalismhas falsely prided itself into giving detailed and even gruesome adcounts of these n'e'-t gatigns and often grossly exagger- ated. It has always been the desire of this -Magazine to refrain from considering the negative side, T-con-' tenting itself with a presentation of" the Positive, but since many Mes- sages of FATHER DIVINE recently ,printed, have ‘ pointed out that the true followers of CHRIST will not in- dulge in‘ ’reading' these negative,’ A un- proﬁtable and exaggerated accounts and statements, we have been com- pelled "to" set ‘forth in these columns the Truth, that our readers may dis- cern the Wisdom of GOD and there- by proﬁt by refraining from either reading or ,purchasing ’ newspapers or periodicals thatcontinue this mis- use of Journalism in thename of a » Newspaper. ‘Unpleasant as monger may sound it is nevertheless a right word and one that properly deﬁnes those who make merchandise of the traffic of negation; the dic- ,tiona_ry,_is ,our authority for placing this,,lab_e1 where it belongs. ‘The help and worthwhile admoni- tion of.

FORUM,— 204 WEST 63RD ‘STREET,—NEW YORK CITY, WEDNESDAY, JULY 1s'r,—193e. A.D.F.D. 11:20 P.M. ’ - Still stressing the fact that the many millions of His Followers, ‘and even millions of Sympathizers would not participate with the Press by reading or buying its Publications, and revealing that money had been spent through the Press in an at- tempt to discredit His Work, and the Peace Mission Movement, FA- THER Spoke Personally in great Power at the Sixty-third Street Righteous Government Forum, Wed- i(e‘s’day, July 1st. The greatest Demonstration took place when FATHER asked for a. rising vote of those who would re- fuse to read such Publications, and instantaneously thousands rose to their feet, including Visitors. Though He had not been expected Personally by man, as He had been out of the City all day, the Audi- torium was crowded to the doors when FATHER arrived ‘Personally at about ten P. M. Among the many other issues dealt with in this most far.-reaching Message were:—-—The re- 1. lationship of Capital and Labor; the Cooperative Industries of the Peace AMission Movement; the elimination of Profiteering, Racketeering, Ex- ploitation, etc., but above all, the change that had been made in the Law, that now permits those who so desire, to have jobs on“Government . Works Projects, without going on the Welfare. It will be recalled, that this is part of FATHER’S Platform, and something He has been urging upon the various Officials for some time past. The Guest Speaker of the Evening was Mr. Harry Martel of the Com- munist Party, who apparently great- ‘enjoyed the‘ enthusiasm and sin- eerity of FATHER’S Spirit in the Masses. - When he stated that it was this community of ‘Spirit and feel.- ing of Happiness that the Commu- nist Party would like to -have es- tablished all over the world, agreat Demonstration of Enthusiasm nook place. Another ‘Speaker’ was Mr. Lit- tlejohn, one of the Followers en- gaged in cooperative activities in the coal and restaurant business, in accord with the Peace Mission's Di- scipline. He thanked FATHER for the Success and_Prosperity that had followed him, and the opportunity to serve, since he had been on that basis. The Song sung by the Masses pre- :e.di:-.g FATE-IER’S Message was:—— 'These are‘ Mine’, Says The Lord, Since I am making, up My Jewels,’ and FATHER'S Personal Words that followed,—which are known by mil- lons to be the Words of GOD in Bodily Form,-were as follows:— “PEACE EVERYONE! GOOD HEALTH,. GOOD WILL, and a GOOD APPETITE, and a HEART FULL of MERRINESS tonighltl Here you are whereI am, and there I sit and stand, where you are,_and where I have been. I heard you sing. a little while ago,——‘These are Mine; I have come to make up My Jewels; these are Mine.’ The Com- position may sound a little radical, and you may" act,—as well as My- self,——a little bit fanatic, but because we believe it others shall REALIZE it as we vividly BELIEVE IT. _\ Now is not that Wonderful! ' ENBEAVORS AOCOIMPLISIIED . While sitting listening to the dif- ferent Speeches and the different Testimonials, "I Thought of this RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM upon which we all stand. Of course I sought to intro- ’ duce it to both the major and the minor Parties, but apparently the majority of them would not accept of it. Nevertheless, that which I have endeavored or attempted, I will ACCOMPLISH. It is indeed Wonder- ful! While sitting listening and con-_ _Therefore I vsidering, I Thought of the Work Projects for which I have been con- tending for TRUTH and JUSTICE to have its access among us. We must have work without being beggars. Ap- parently it was a matter of impos- sibility for this to become to be a reality, but as Iendeavored so it is, for My SPIRIT has ACCOMPLISH- ED My ENDEAVORS, as I have transmitted My Message literally and also through mental telepathy. It is indeed Wonderful! I have not only transmitted it literally and through mental telepathy, butlhave also transmitted it politically and have Commanded and Demanded the attention of those who are in Au- thority. For this cause, the Law has_been changed. Now you can get a job without being a beggar. Now -is not that Wonderful! We shall have just what we desire, for I have presented My Body as. a Living -Sacrifice to accomplish all of My Endeavors. shall ACCOMPLISH every desire, if it costs Me 21. MIL- LION BODIES a DAY, Now is not that Wonderful! When you are Willa ing as it was with Abraham, to sac- rifice your own life and all you have for your endeavors, to please GOD your FATHER, you will not have an occasion to lose your body, but rather ‘preserve it. SPIRIT OF GOD— . 3:3,.

Now is not this a Reality? Is not this a Sample and an Example? Can you ‘ not see, I have lifted up a standard for the people?

Now aren’t you glad; I shall electrlfy the very_ atmosphere of all of the Cities of these United States of America. I shall electrify the city" of New York! , In this electrification through which you all shall be electrified, ,I‘ shall also germinate ‘you with the Magnetic- ness of GOD'S Infiniteness, of His NATURE, and of His CHARA-CTER- ISTICS.

GOD A GOD AT HAND Remember, before He came so near; before It-_I_e got, so near to you in your present ‘ experience, suppose we would . stop for consideration and listen to a GOD afar orf,“but GOD is a GOD at HAND." Not! only so, but what said the ‘Apostle through the Epistle? ‘Rejoice in The Lord al- ways, and againl say REJOICE, let your moderation be made known to all men, The LORD is at HAND,’ Now what are you talking, about GOD , G somewhere in, the sky for ?

Oh it is a privi- lege dear ones, to live in the Pres- ence of GOD where the Stream of Life is ﬂowing. Here is REST for the weary. I know you are weary! I know you are tired of the brutal- ity of -the corruptible Politicians, and the exploitation of them! Now is not that Wonderful! Then I Say,— ‘Here is REST for the weary, ‘Here is REST for the weary, Over on this side of Jordan, In the ‘Sweet Field of Eden, ~ Here is REST for the weary, Here is REST for.YOU.' N0 SDIVISNON AMONG THE PEOPLE Free from the mistreatment of prejudice, and of selfishness, graft and greed! Free from those raging beasts! , As I Said some time ago,-—a year or two ago! in the City of Brother- 1y‘ Love (Philadelphia).—I shall crush the head of the serpent, pre- judice, and not only CRUSH the head but I shall CUT it OFF. I shall have it all over the world just as I have it here and now, and there shall be no division among My People, Says The LORD of HOSTS. Prejudice shall no longer defile the Temples of GOD, for ‘He that defiles the Temple of GOD, him shall GOD destroy.’ I am destroying prejudice, divisions, segregation, and selfish- ness. KI am destroying graft and ,/greed, and the’ exploitation of the '1it’i,cal virtues, the political respect- . The “SPOKEN WORD" people,” and destroying such ten- dencies from among them. I have brought Capital and Labor together, and they shall SHAKE HANDS and ‘Love ye one-another.’ The outward expression of this as- sertion and quotation is made plain in the outward and open manifesta- tion of these many appearances of so called Nations gathered together and unified as ONE. Whatsoever I Tell you, I am SHOWING you better than I can Tell you. Words of the English language are inadequate to explain it, but I will SHOW you better than I can tell you, for ac- tions speak louder than words. My Actions are Speaking in My Social Service Work, in My Political Ca- reer expressly, and other expressions of My Endeavors. They are speak- ing louder than words, for you can see them even more than what you have heard. Now aren’t you glad! PROPHECY OF THE SPIRIT As’ I Said the other day, the PRESS, because of the fear of My Strength, they have attempted to discredit Me by printing false and completely unfounded, exaggerated articles. They have been paid to do it, and they have paid men to make those statements they have been making. Now I Say, let them see and ‘know, as I Said the other day, —-—it is true, but they did not know only one clause of the statement which I shall now Speak; they knewsone clause of it but they did not know the second claus-e. The first clause is:—‘The penis mightier than the sword,’—it is true. They thought they could kill YOU, they thought they could slay ME. Now isn't that Wonderful! Because the pen is mightier than the sword! But I have Declared, My TONGUE is a PE__ of a ready writer; My Heart . Has been inditing a great matter. Read for yourselves the forty-fifth Psalm. My Heart has be-en inditing a great ‘matter. Therefore read it if you wish to, and consider I will bring thoughts to your remembrance that you might recognize the Prophecy of the SPIRIT as it ‘is Spoken, to realize I am the Fulfill- er of it. GOD HERE ON EARTH I I have Spoken, since the Press has Page 19 I endeavored to try to slay you and your political, social, and economic influence. I have Spoken in the de- . fence of this People, as little David did, when he met Goliath. Since I have Spoken, I have called a strike on reading every prejudiced news- paper,—-reading every mortal news- paper,——until they all recognize Me, and COME AND BOW AT MY FEET. Now isn't =that Wonderful! Not one true Believer, Co-worker or Friend, neither a Sympathizer, will attempt to read, neither will they buy, a newspaper, until the news- papers recognize ME and endorse all of My Activities. and cease to throw mud. Now isn't that WON- DERFUL! We do not HAVE to read, do we? (‘NO FATHER,’—— came enthusiastically from thou- sands). I told them to lay OFF! Told them HANDS OFF! But they would not stop! Now I have opened My Mouth, and it shall not be closed until that which I have Spoken has gone in the hearts of yours. I will be Speaking in you and in millions and millions more every day as you go, until the time comes when they recognize you and Myself, and cease to attempt to throw mud, for GOD IS HERE ON THE EARTH. TRANSCRIPTION OF GOD I will accomplish My Endeavors with or without a Person; with or without a Body! for GOD Himself is Omnipotent, GOD Himself is all MAJESTY, and will make all things Real, Tangible and Practical,—-all things that are necessary for the common good of humanity. Now remember, as I often ‘Say, when I am Speaking in Person as express- ing or transmitting Myself, My Thoughts, and My Ideas and Opin- ions, you are receiving sets and you are the transcribers. You are My transcriptions as'you express them, —My -Messages and My Words. Therefore you yourselves as individ- uals in whom I am incarnated, will be My transcriptions now, hence- forth and forever, even though I Speak not another Word Personally. Oh it is a privilege to realize the significance of transmission and transcription. The transcription of Truth is as transcribable as that of a message on a phonograph record. I ‘Said, I will electrify not only you and the atmosphere in which. you 26 are living, but I shall electrify more and more; electrify and spiritualize the whole Universe in which man- kind liveth, Hereafter they shall think, and speak, and act, according to My THOUGHTS I have trans- mitted. TRANSMISSION OF GOD‘ T0 MAN V Jot these Thoughts down in your , mental and your spiritual vocabular- ies, and remember them in the time of the Broadcast, for you as individ- uals will move spontaneously and unthoughtfully, to reiterate that which I have transmitted, for My Spirit will quicken it in you.. You may not THINK you will say it, but when you get out there you will 4 SAY it. The reincarnation of My Words when they are quickened within you and you move volitional- ly,—y»o-u will reiterate that which I have Spoken. That which I have Said and transmitted, you‘ will rei- terate. NOW isn‘t that Wonderful! Truly might. have the Scripture Said, in other words the-Gospel, JE- SUS conveyed Himself in a multi- - tude of people and so passed by. Why? Because I have nearly thirty million to convey Myself in, even if I am not heard nor seen. Now isn’t that wonderful! The transmission of GOD to man, and man to GOD,~ One in all and all in One,——that is the way GOD and CHRIST always has been here, and‘ that is the way He was _«to Come, Now you can se-e the significance of the work I have Done. I have brought all the Na- tions of the Earth together in one, and as our honored Speaker said this Evening, bringing Joy and Hap- pin-ess beyond degrees. Hap-pines is Heaven,—all the Heaven there ever was to go’ to,—and such other mental states of expression as Hap- piness; Peace and Joy; Love and Kindness. ‘Where there is union there is V strength,’ and where there is harmony: there is Heaven, even according to your noted Metaphy- ~ sicians. . » Oh it is a privilege to live in it . and produce it, and bring it to frui- tion, and express it scientifically, where there will not be grounds. for criticism. Let us live in this rec- ognition, and refuse to be doubtful in .C_N._1r.endeavors. As I Say,_y,ou are . qualified to: Regigtenng and Vot- ing; you will Register-and be? ready, but if one of these major P_art‘1es does not endorse MY RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM in every Plank from the top to the bottom of it, and from one side to the other, we will not endorse them. It is indeed Wonderful! Since I have introduced an Anti—Lynchirlg Bill, such must be made Law and Order by one of the major Parties, for us "to endorse them. Now isn’t that Wonderful ! PERFECT AGREEMENT We mean what we are TALKING ABOUT, and You will D0 WHAT- SOEVER rsay! 'Now if you will, let it be known saying, ‘aye’. (A great shout of ‘AYE’ resounded, as thousands of hands shot up). The ‘ayes’ HAVE IT_! The ‘No’s’ know, ‘No’ is not in My consideration, for ‘NO’ has no existence among us, to those who believe My Message. Oh it is a. privilege to realize it! Now in reference to reading the newspapers, you all will stay your hand and refuse to read them at ALL. If you will, let it be known by rising to your feet. (With a mighty shout, the Masses who were not already “standing, including Vis- itors and all, instantly -rose to their feet). -RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and .TUSTICE,+so let us have it! ‘It has been established, _and it shall go through Legality; shall be made real, tangible and practical and shall be recognized as a reality uni- versally, even as I have it here un- V der My .Iurisdict_ion._ Now isn’t that Wonderful! So much for that! , Now I would like to Say a Word on My Work and Mission in regard to bringing Capital and Labor to- gether that they might be in unity. Asa sample and as an example, one of our Speakers stood, as a. Re- presentative of RIGHTEOUSNESS, ‘ TRUTH and JUSTICE in connection with this Peace Mission Movement, having a chain of restaurants bring- ing all together as common co- workers and "co-tenants,—t£he only way to bring about RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, _and to eradicate and dispel. all selfish- ness. ALL TI-IINGS COMMON Art the Day of Pentecost they had. all things in..common._For the com- ‘ mon good of one and all, they came '- treasures together "as one man,’ at Jemsale_m;' Capital Labor must corrie _‘to'- gether and shake hands with each other. We are doing it in all -orcur " Industries. We have put forth a. Sample and an Example. We are not » claiming anything for _ourselves_ ' as individuals to lay up for ourselves W on Earth selfishly, but we are working together common- ly, for the common good of each". other, a‘s°‘a. Sample and as an Ex-_ . ample for all humanity, to where ' I have called them. , L T‘his__is just one among many of -the different expressions of our In,-p dustrial Work Department of our \ Movement. All are etiuivalently the same. When they work together ac- cording to have all things_ common one with the other, and each and every one who is true and faithful will do his best and his bit for the common‘ good of the Cause. Therefore if you 5 stand together and live according to L Instruction, you will be inde-» pendent even I the same as Mr. Littlejohn is, and others that have . come ¥to'g'et'her and co-organized ack . cording ’ to Instructoin. AGOORDING T0 INS’I‘RUOTI0NS : tNexitly I wish to Say, not one of" My Co-‘workers and Friends living, according to My Instruction other-.’ wise, in the way of ‘organizing, they would not sell a meal for more than fifteen cents. If they do, you may know they are not true, and they ; are not real Followers of Me. Take these Thoughts to consideration! When and wheresoever. that expres- sion you may personally observe, there is an ‘impostorated’ conception conceived in the individual that would endeavor to_ do_ such an in- justice to these My Endeavors. it is a privilege to -know the Tru=tsh. I have striven to keep every sense 'of a reflection of a sketch of e ploitation out or our Movement. have striven to keep every sense of a reflection of -a sketch of a frac- tion of a ‘grain of racketeering out of our Movement. There are mi lions of people‘ to-day who___w"oug pay almost any price for My Pictur yet I have forbid you to buy thesis and 1 have prohibited the photf graphers from selling them.

N0 LPROFITEERIN G IN FATHER'S NAME Take these Thoughts to conside- ration. There was a photographer offered Me twenty-five percent, or fifty percent I think he said one time, if I would only let him sell pictures,——those buttons lots of them have,~—to My Followers for not more than twenty-five cents for three, and yet I forbade. I have been offered for this Month,—one month's service on a lecture tour to carry My Message; no" other mes- sage but My Message; to carry it according to My Own instruction and according to My Own good pleasure,——I have been offered ‘ten thousand dollars for My Services for this Month, «July, but I refused it. Not one of My Real Followers would take a penny for broadcast- ing or for expressing a message,——- that is if it is a Message that I gave, them. It is indeed Wonderful! There are many impostors that will endeavor to try to rob the Public and sell My Body, and sell My Spir- it, and sell My Nam’e,.for less than thirty pieces of silver or for more. If they are OF Me, they would not do it. Jot these Thoughts down in your vocabularies, and if you will endorse a person that will attempt to sell anything in My Name from that angle of expression, you are not of ‘Me. You are betraying your trust.’ Every person, if he or‘ she is OF Me, they would endeavor to do even -as I do. It is Written, ‘Follow Me.’ If you want to earn a living in the way of finances, get out and do some practical and profitable serv- ice for humanity. Do not take My Name for exploitation. I have op‘- posed it from the beginning up un- til this present "time I have not ac- cepted a thing, and if you are of Me you would not attempt it. NOT WORTHY OF GOD Now these may be hard Sayings, but I would to, I desire to, and I am‘, going to, cut off every dead branch and every false Representa- . tive, because if you are OF Me you will be OI-T‘ Me. If you are OF Me you will be WITH Me. If you are ~ parently I The “sroxniv ‘worm’! not with Me whole-heartedly and bodily, you are not worthy of Me. Now he or she who would endorse an impostor,—one who wishes to sell or speculate on the Name of GOD, when you know, and see, and have heard just what I have done and what I have endeavored, and what I‘-have sacrificed for all, and denied the chance of having from that angle of expression,——if you would endorse any person or per- sons, you are not worthy’ of Me. Jot these Thoughts down in your vocabularies. The axe is laid at the root of the \tree, and I shall cut down every false branch and every false tree, and none shall ‘stand in My Presence saving that which stands for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE. Take these Thoughts to consideration. Ap- am moved to Speak when I come down here, more than I endeavor or intend to do.

Forum Creating Wide Interest The Righteous Government Forum activities around the San Francisco" Bay District are going forward rap- idly, according to Brother Great Service, Chairman of the Righteous Government Forum in San Francisco, who was a recent visitor to The “Spo- ken Word” ofﬁce. , Brother Service is visiting FA- THER DIVINE and while in New ‘ York will observe the Righteous Gov- ernment Forums and their procedure. The most impressive thing in San Francisco is the clean-up of graft and corruption which has taken place on the local police force, Brother Serv- ive said. The Peace Mission at 821 Paciﬁc Avenue, in San Francisco's famous “Barbary Coast,” is growing to such an extent that larger quarters are being visualized. The Bay City po- lice, while noting the good influence of the Mission, are nevertheless puz- ,zled as to why the Mission should be established in such a section. This is of course clear to FATHER DI- VINE’S followers and those familiar with His work who understand that He reaches conditions in just such areas, Receint parades held in Northern California at San Francisco, Oakland, Santa Rosa, Santa. Cruz, and Modesto have attracted much interest and have resulted in increased attendance at theﬂﬁighteous Government Forums it was also learned. Much good will was created by these demonstrations. A recent attendant at the San Francisco Forum was Attorney Mab- son, a prominent attorney of -the city, who expressed admiration for the Fo- rum eﬂorts. “This is wonderful! mg I can say.” The total of San Francisco Mis- sions is now brought to four, with home meetings also held.

In advocating such an organization of citizens, Mr, Judd explained that the new “alphabetical society” stood for the “Society for Furfillment of Campaign Promises.” Under Mr. Judd’s plan, as out- lined to Kiwanians, clubs would be in each city to check politicians after elections “to see that they deliver the goods they voted for.” ' Mr. Judd suggested public ducking for all candidates who failed to live up to their'cam- paign promises after the election.

These as set forth have been O.K.’d by FATHER Himself, Thank You, FATHER. First Verse, and Chorus between verses: Now we have a Righteous Government. Now we have a Righteous Government. Now we have a Righteous Government. For God is in the Land. Righteousness, Justice and Truth is now ruling in the land, This together with mercy is controlling every man, Equity and fair dealing Exercised on every hand. For God is reigning now, Chorus. No races, creeds or colors shall be known in the land. We all shall be united into one big happy band. For God Himself is ruling and the. time is out for man, For God is reigning now. Chorus. God's Condescension to us to bring heaven on the earth. Is to bring about salvation of mankind's mortal birth. And so fulﬁll the scriptures, that the last should be the first. For God is reigning now, Chorus. Vice, crime and corruption, shall never more hold sway, In these transformed temples from which sin is washed away, For God is dwelling in them and He evermore shall stay, For God is reigning now, Chorus. Every unjust ofﬁcial shall be moved from off the bench, No more political evil shall contrive our rights to quench, -But Father's Loving Counsel shall be sought in our defense, For God is reigning now, Chorus. This happy day has dawned for all since Father Divine is here, For in His Precious Body He has made His meaning clear, That the Righteous, Just and True Ones now have nothing more to fear, For God is reigning now, Chorus. av; v: " HIS V Righteousness, "Jul-y ‘mi, I936 I Righteous .

Craig We deplore and seek to relieve poverty which inflicts physical suffering, but are perplexed by mental and spiritual poverty which robs the cold and hungry of that which 7 might give desire -for life itself more than for rai- ment andfood‘. The most impoverished man or woman in the whole world, is the ‘one who seeks only the material ‘t-hings‘ of life and thereby loses" ’sight"of the needs‘ of the mind and soul‘. Such’ poverty causes unhappi- ness‘, leads to despair,‘ and ques- tions even’ the love of the Infinite. And", in this land of, school‘ and church, opportunity and freedom, this is almost inexcusable. _ ' -“Incline thine ears unto wis- dom," admonished’ Confucius, “and = she will ' direct thy path to ad- bundance, for mind and soul 1 which are properly nourished will ‘aid thee to bear all the vicissi- ‘times of life.” ~ ‘- ' - ‘ _ (Fred-fAlle_n4-)A , J ' ed down h..i§.tai_l :_a.nd_mad,e a bee- Tow'ard~ a Mo're I Pict*u“resq'ue speech venerabfle dosage; sailed‘ into room, like a vi_c_torio‘us flagship, A her , prow dfewstoonedy with jewels.

Dear Sirs: — Your letter of a recent date re- . porting me among the missing; this letter, no doubt has been delayed about ten years,,as that time Iwas among the missing from our Fa- ther’s fold. But through your teach- ing I was placed on the first rung of the ladder“ gathering that beauti- ful _ knowledge of my creation and Creator. , _ But my brother you must not now report me among the .missing--be- cause Job says, “For I know my re- deemer liveth, and stand at the latter day upon the earth,’.’ then in the next. verse he says “Yet in my flesh I shall see GOD,’, ’now “let, us hear the.,con- clusion of the whole matter,”_ which is the concluding chapternin the old. ‘Bib.1$. “Behold, I will send my=mes- ,= senger, and he shall, prepare the way before me; 1 (Jesus)' and the Lord, whom ye seek, .shall suddenly come to his temple,” (FATHER DI- VINE).

These gentlemen, in addition to their supreme optimism, seem to pos- sess a belief in their own Omniscience far above that of the average "mere seeker after Truth.” To essay to write a book about even one of the incidental phases of His Mission, would be a staggering task! The seeker after material for a book need go no further than “Num- ber 20” West 115th Street, in roar- ing Harlem. ,Here, in profusion, 1S “color” enough to confound the un- initiated scribe before proceeding to the major subject of FATHER DI- VINE, Himself. The ordinary “run of the mill” visitor to “Number 20" enters briskly; then forgets what he came for, lost in a sea of bewilder- ment, Those who come to ferret out the “mystery” of FATHER DIVINE, or those bent on capturing His elu- sive personality for the beneﬁt of the “ﬁne paper magazines,” (and of course the “pulps” too), invariably meet some fate such as this, They are “swallowed" up, so to speak, in something strangely unlike the cus- tomary political meets and other pub- lic events to which the course of their assignments might have led them. Dazed . . . and in a quandary, these gentlemen of the press return to their respective oﬁices and write what they had intended to write in the ﬁrst place. But emissaries of the Fourth Es- tate are not the only ones_who lose their identity and calm, collected composure at “Number 20." Most of those who come are merged, or it might be said, “melted” with "the whole harmoniously———or else depart in ha,sty‘confusion. That's the sort of thing FATHER DIVINE‘S Movement is. One either agrees with it and joins in at once with the reve1ry— or beats a rapid retreat. There ‘are so many amazing and contradictory things. about > “Number 20" West 115th Street that one feels his sense of incapacity in the first few paragraphs of any attempted treatise, As a New Brunswick, N;,J., paper expressed it in speaking. of. as. meeting held in that city . & i “this , seen. The “SPOKEN WORD” is not the old‘-time “camp-meeting” type of religious hysteria. If it is a religious movement, it lacks all the time-worn phraseology.” VV-hich is tolsay that the scene unfolded at 115th Street is like nothing else ever Nowhere is there just like it. There is no resemblance to anything of the past which has borne the mark of religion. .Parked outside of the building at most times are the ﬂeet of cars which FATHER DIVINE and His staff make use of—a new, 1936 mod- el Buick, 7 passenger Sedan (which FATHER DIVINE uses personally these days), several shiny new Ford V-8 station wagons, etc., etc, Press- ing through the groups_ which al- ways are to be found around" the en- trance, one enters the building with- out difficulty-~if it is not meeting time, “If FATHER is at the Table" it is nearly impossible" to wedge a foot inside, the door. On these oc- casions, (usually about twice a day, in the early P. M. and late at night), Angels jam the Banquet Hall, the up- stairs Auditorium, the vestibule, and all the stairways up to the ' third floor. Through apertures and other points of vantage it is possible to view FATHER, from the stairways when He speaks in the Auditorium. When He» is at the. Bagnquet Table it takes those with real fortitude, . who pos- sess the magic key, which seems to be a determined “Thank You FA- THER,” and unbounded faith, to press their way through the mass of choked humanity to any proximity to the scene of action. Using this formula it is amazing how one seems magical- ly transported through the dense throng and surprisingly unconscious of eifort, ﬁnds himself within, range, or a5 few feet from FATHER'S“ seat at the Head of the Table. Itis hot_ in‘ the Banquet Hall "at “Number 20_” both during the winter S and summer months,‘ In the summer months this heat reaches ‘a satura- tion point, which under ordinary,cir- ’_cumstances might" be completely‘ un- bearable.‘ But‘ one does not seem mind this. ‘Visions ' of-' humid New York summers, with sleepless nights, and not a breath of air stirring, pe- culiarly,-seem to fade in’ the atmos-. phere. found -in the’ conﬁnes of FA- THER DIVIN-E’S— numerous havens and in His own Presence, _ drenched, one becomes lost‘ in the ‘ masses. anything ‘ Altho.

Pressed in on every, side, and supported by the dense body of humanity, one ﬁnds it best to become pliable and sway with the Something is always hap- pening. The “vibrations” reach a high pitch, only to rise in a majestic wave, even higher. One is lifted on a mighty-ocean of song. The heat and discomfort is almost totally for- gotten. » With a good humor and a “give and take” of that found in New York subway crowds, which are equally dense, everybody is good natured, sparkling and happy. If perchance one is shoved, there is merely the exchange of a_. quick smile, and eyes are again turned on FATHER. Testimonies ‘go on but overall there always hangs ‘the breathless spell of anticipation of FATHER’S message. “Will He speak now?”_ “What will He say?” “FA- TI-IESR. has certainly been speaking strong late1y!” scene continues, ‘twice daily, some- times for hours, co-workers, with in- ﬁnite pa-tience press 1 their way through the great crowds to perform duties or wait on some purchaser in the rear._of the room, During FA- THER’S Message all ‘activity ceases and all listen enraptured. At the ‘conclusion of His dynamic remarks, FATHER generally leaves abruptly, and in a short time the Hall is emp- -tied, save for customers who wish -to .. eat, etc. As one views this scene day after day he retains certain scattered and more or less incoherent impressions which are particularly difficult to transmit“ to paper. There are the eager crowds of" followers who sit patiently upstairs i_n the Auditorium, unable to crowd their way into the downstairs Ban- quet Hall, who wait through the testimonies which come over the loudspeaker system——Wa.iting Father’s Message. There are the additional patient groups who crowd the “Annex Lin- ing Room” next door—also waiting to. hear the Message over a loud-‘ speaker extended there. , -There are the dazed visitors who crane for a view, "Nor-.' more dazed," _ and leave buzzing with conjecture. ' -There is the strange fact that in___ attitude far in advance . These express the I sentiment of the audience. While this " for, 1 Emasday, July';'7th, 1936 .,the_ midst of .the greatest apparent N :.confusion——there is none. There are the “home angels," members of the staff, who work indefatigably——tirelessly, night and” day. There are the inviting “snacks” of edibles from the Promised Land ——fresh eggs, hard boiled, fresh vegetables, salads, etc., sold in the Banquet Room. There is the "ever-present knot of «hopefuls desiring to “see Father” who sit interminably huddled on the stairs just outside Father’s outer office on the top floor. * IF * And here our word picture must stop, for the moment, anyway. “Number 20" truly might be said to ‘be taking its place as. the new “Crossroads of the World.” To its ' doors visitors. beat” a path from all over the world—‘—like the proverbial “mousetrap” parable of the immortal Emerson.

Tuesday, July 7th, 1936 formed for aggressive independent political action—the “All People‘s Party”-—which in addition to exert- ing a. powerful facto.r in New York City, gives indication of attaining national inﬂuence. Here is a name to conjure with! Here is a’ magic name on which all groups may unite. The rank and file of American citizens are roused to a] realization of the Truth of our economic and political servitude. They await only the opportunity and right leadership to crystalize their smoldering hopes and ideals into driving -action! It seems inevitable that 1940, at least, will see the People's Front, the true wedge to actual social justice, a reality. In this great united front lies the hope of overthrowing, by orderly process of the electorate, the conventional and desultory reign of the two great major political parties of today. It is ardently hoped that the ideal of a,true_ “All People’s Party” will ' '-not remain merely a pleasant phrase but the definite symbol of concerted nationwide political action.

I Scientific Discoveries The appearance on London streets of Italian Ambassador Grandi dressed in clothes made from milk‘ may be a portent as significant as those first skeins of artificial silk made by Coun-t de Cardonnet 52 year ago, or it may not. That will depend on what properties the new milk-wool displays in use. Inventor Ferretti has not disclosed just how he makes the new synthetic fiber, but presumably his raw material is the casein of skim milk and curd, a. substance already much used in- dustrially for glues and for molded‘ The "sromniv WORD” products such as knife handles. Casein once was favored, before the cellulose rayons displaced it, as a possible source of artificial silk. Its best use undoubtedly is for food, but since most people dislike skim milk the casein in milk used for cream or butter now gets into in- dustry and will be available for the new synthetic wool. Neither chemically nor biologically is there so much difference between wool and milk as might be imagin- ed. Both are products of mammalian skin; milk through the modified skin glands that become milk pro- ducers, wool through the smaller but more numerous skin bulbs that grow hair. Both the casein of milk and the keratin of hair are complex proteins .made of much the same chemical building stones, those all- important amino, acids which are the chief constituents of all animal bodies and, indeed, of all matter that is alive. By some chemical art still unknown the hair bulbs in the skin take simple soluble proteins from the blood, condense many of these simple molecules into the e- normously complicated, waterproof a.nd almost wear-proof molecules of hair, thus providing the world with - natural wool. Presumbly Dr. Feret- ti-’s process manages in some equiv- alent way to condense the simple molecules of milk casein into more complicated ones of artificial wool. Even silkworms and spiders pos- sess a similar art, for silk filaments and spider webs also consist of simple protein chemically condensed into more complicated and resistant forms. It is curious that the insects and their close relatives, the spider, the crabs, the lobsters and others, possess alone among creation chem- ical abilities to make both the com- mon kinds af fibrous materials, this M protein kind and the sugary kind. This latter is chiefly the prerogative of plants, the cellulose fibers ‘of a tree trunk or a cotton boll being . made of simple sugars condensed into more complicated compounds. Among the insects, condensed pro- teins are represented by cocoon or web materials.‘ Equivalents of cel- lulose are the varieties of chitin, the hard material which fornfs the shells of insects or similar creatures and stiffens their bodies instead of their bones; Several years ago a Page 2'1 ‘ product much like rayon was made from chemically treated lobster shells, a fact which might have in- dustrial importance were there more fobsters or did they yield their shells more readily.—New York Herald-Tribune. The Great Chalice of Antioch The last Supper. The twelve dis- ciples gather about their Master. The Holy Cup is passed from lip to lip. Christianity is born. Followers of the teachings of Christ, for centuries later, assign to master silversmiths the sacred task of providing a fitting setting for The Holy Grail. The ravages of time have worn the crude, egg-shaped cup; tokens have been cut from its plain, -turned rim. An intricately wrought silver standard of delicate filigree with carved images of Christ and His disciples is created—The Great Chalice of Antioch. Such is the legend of this wonder of the silversmith’s art created in the early days of Christianity, Cen- turies later, in 1910, Arabs, digging in the ruins of Antioch in Syria, uncovered a. hidden store of treasures apparently cached by ﬂeeing church- men fearful of the ravages of a plundering horde of barbarians. The Great Chalice was among the treasures. ' After carefully cleaning away the damp, clinging earth it was found that the Chalice was in perfect con- ditlon—another marvel, for surely centuries beneath the damp soil would have long since decomposed the soft silver, obliterating the deli- cate design and figures. Closer observation revealed a soft, , -rich yellow glow to the precious relic. Gold leaf! Centuries before, . far-seeing men had gilded the Holy Chalice with two layers of gold leaf to protect it from the ravages of time! Gold leaf-—-protecting and beautifying the greatest find of modern times! - ’ The ancient leaf still retains its original lustre. The years have not dimmed its rich qualities.

This is the conversation that took place between the brother and my mother. , A - Sister: Youare a little late for the meeting tonight, aren’t you? Brother: ‘Yes, I am la little late but I am going in to hear Father's Message.

Here on the same shore, where Balboa discovered the peaceful_ Ocean, and named it Paciﬁc; comes the great- est of all explorers, bringing the watchword of a Movement, straight ‘ from the Throne of GOD, re-echoing the magic word that‘ stilled the tempest of the Sea of Galilee in the days of the Sonship Degree and is now stilling the tempest in the hearts of men, as the same Christ, now in the Fathership Degree, speaks again, Peace. \ 4 . ‘ O’er the troubled waters of Social and Economic inequality and human efforts and misconceptions, comes a Platform designed by GOD for the children of men. This ‘event will mark a step in the progress of internationalism, awak- ening all nations to the possibility, yes, the absolute necessity of bring- ing Politics and Religion together as ‘ ONE. The New Day is indeed at hand and the weary world Will sound a welcome. ﬁli * * The complete, Programme for the three days willbe ‘found on, Page‘9.

D1'VINE’S MESSAGE AT, THE BANQUET TABLE, — .20 WEST 115TI-I STREET, —— NEW YORK CITY, TUESDAY, JULY 7TH, 1936 A.D.F.D. 1145 P. M. " A Mighty Angelic ‘Chorus rang out from FATHERS New York City Headquarters, as the hour of\Mid- night approached, Tuesday, July 7th. It was the voice of thousands, for- merly of every" so-called nation, lan- - guage, tongue and people, now trans- formed to Angels, and united together in ‘one, living in Heaven on Earth. .The Song they sang over and over again with Joy and Enthusiasm on this occasion Was:— ‘I I’m living in Heaven, Around the Great White Throne. The Great White Throne, The Great White Throne, , Around the Great White Throne.’ They sang of the Great Throne of RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUS- TICE‘ and TRUTH that had been set up in the hearts and minds of mil- lions by the coming of GOD in Bod- iljlj Form on the Earth Plane into their recognition. , They sang Praises to Him VVho Rules upon the Throne, as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, better known as FATHER DIVINE‘; "In their midst was the Personal Tabernacle of the Blessed One of Whom they sang, and after many Demonstrations of Love and Devo- tion coming from the thousands, FA-I‘ , THER arose, and from the Mouth of GOD Himself the Words of Truth, of Spirit and of Life, came as fol- lows:—- White , "‘PEACE EVERYONE! Here we all are again, and there I sit and stand in the midst of the children of men always, and always shall be just as I Am; It is indeed Wonderful! If you only would but know the great signiﬁcance of reiteration, es- pecially that which is positive and that which is real, and thatwhich is ‘true, reiteration‘ of the positive Spo- ken Word will be brought into realiza- tion to you. Every positive Spoken Word that can be reiterated over and over again until it touches that spot in your heart that is sincere, and is quickened therein until you - are consciously convinced,—then and there, ‘As a man thinketh in his heart so is he,’ and ‘According to your Faithso be it unto thee.’ VALUE OF CONTINUED REITERATION I heard you sing and I heard you say, ‘I know I am living in Heaven, around the Great White Throne,’—— the same as you said in your kinder- garten, yea even before you left your home; you repeated your alphabets over and over again until those al- phabets became to be quickened in your’ consciousness and you became to be quickened with them mental- /ly, By a continued reiteration, they became to be a part of you as they entered into your consciousness and in your subconsciousness. When you learned them to repeat them con- sciously and spontaneously without seeing them, you could say, ‘I have my letters by heart.’ Any other ex- pression you have conceived in your , {past experience, the expression may have been of a minor ldegreeof e‘:<- , -. Page A pression, nevertheless by reiteration and by continuing to practice, the same is fulﬁlled in your experience. Practice makes perfect. it Now these Thoughts should be con- sidered! But'through the reiteration of the Songs you are singing, when they are positive Spoken Words, you will continue to reiterate them until, you get them in‘your"consciousnes’s 1, _ Ldvm. and in your subconsciousness]; when they are once establishedand quick- ened therein, you will have them by heart. you are asleep, when you are awake, yea even if you would be unconscious, still‘ in your subconsciousness that seed idea you had tconc'eived'.vvould still" be lalive in your subconsciousn'e‘ss." V’ I LEAvENiN_G THE WHPIAE LUMP It is a privilege torealize, as you are called into question to concen- trate your your prayerful attention in the positive direction, into the Perfect way of expression, you are making yourselves more per- fect daily. This is also accpordingto the Scripture and also according to the Gosp_e_’l_' Therefore, Dearly. Be- loved, us cleanse ourselves of all filthiness of the ‘ﬂesh and spirit, per- fecting Holiness in the Fear of GOD. Byiconcentration on the positive, and by reiteration ofthe Perfect Word, you are conceiving the Nature and the Characteristics of it, as the Per- fect is the Leaven that leaveneth the ‘ whole lump. THE MAGNETIC I CURRENT Oh it‘ is a privilege to be in this Atmosphere! ’It is a privilege to be where I the positive is visualized, where the Perfect is visualized, and where the imperfect and negative is ignored completely by refusing to re- iterate it in words, deeds ‘or ‘actions, Now’ the reason men are in lacks, ahd wants, and’ limitations; the rea- son why they’ are in confusion; it is because they reiterate the negative, ,7 they repeat it over and over, they " stress it, they visualize it, and they materialize it and bring it into outer. expression, in their daily experiences.‘ But to the reverse, as I have some- thing better for you, I am reiterat- ing, “repeating and rehearsing the pos- itijve continually. stressing’ it vivid- ly and causing your‘ conscious men- ‘talitywtot conceive it, your subcon- The “SPOKEN WORD" Tuesday, July 14th, 1936 scious mind also will conceive that expression by your conscious realiza- which your‘ conscious mind can con- ceive.

That is why these hearts and bodies are ﬁlled with Joy un- speakable, because the reaction of their concentration and positive thinking have been conceived in their mentality and in the physical system, causing the physical structure to be bodies of Perfection to express the Blessing, and "Love and Kindness of your Saviour. ' "V I _I_-EOSITIVE MADE A REALITY “ Sincehthis has been established in reality, the more, you stress in your memory the positive, the more you ignore the negative_ The more you refuse to recognize it orconsider’ it, the more the positive will become to be a reality, for the positive" jshmade a reality in your mentality by ignor- ing and by eradicating from ‘your ‘ conscious consideration, the reality’ of the negative. ' For this cause it is a blessing to be where the Masses are vividly stressing the positive; where‘ they stress the positive so vividly” that the conscious realization of Pres- ' ence,—such a recognition and realiza- tion vividly stressed ‘ the positive direction,——will attr'_ac't' others and draw them to it.

Now that which was given by the Prophetic Revelation of'John in Revelation,——you will find GOD Spoke through John and "de- clared as he saw this whichwe are ' ‘now enjoying; a New Heaven and a ‘ New Earth coming down from "GOD outzof Heaven, for the first Heaven and the" first Earth had pased away. I am dispelling your imaginary Heaven! I am‘er'adicating your‘imag- inary Heaven!

Then I Say you are rejoicing be- causeyou know you are Taught of GOD. It is Written, ‘And they shall be Taught of GOD.’ You have been taught by men,——-Teachers and Preachers,——but GOD is your Real Teacher, and they shall all be Taught of GOD. Now aren’t you glad! As you are Taught of GOD in fulfillment of another quotation, ‘They all shall , KNOW Him, from the least to the greatest,’ you can see it is fulfilled in your experience for they are learn- ing more of ‘GOD and they are learn- ing to KNOW Him, thatthey might inherit Eternal Life, for ‘It is Eternal Life to know Thee,’ Said He, ‘the only True GOD and JESUS CHRIST Whom Thou hast sent.’ EVERY GOOD DESIRE “VSATI-SFIED fQ‘h it is a privilege to be living in Heaven, It is a privilege to be liv- ing‘ in Heaven I say! You enter into Heaven by ente_ringW_in_t_o~ the ;fecogni- _ tion and’ the realization of GOD'S VP’re'sence’., L «When you realized you_ were in the Presence of GOD, and GOD had truly condescendingly ‘come and ‘b_r;ou ht His Body to the Earth plane, u_ arecogn1ti'o_n”1'n itself was ‘We... ’Ygr-reaching if was “.<=91nvi.ncing‘ to I isfy every good desire.’ ii Page 5' the conscious mentality of the chil- dren orinen, forsuch a’rec'ognit‘ion was thatof which I have Spoken so often, ‘The Spirit of the Conscious- ness of the Presence of GOD is the Source of all supply, and WILL sat- The ‘ Con- sciousness of GOD’S Presence Creates an Atmosphere,—-an "Atmosphere which is the Spirit of the Conscious- ness of it,——and it is in itself the Creative Forces of Nature thensource and the Supply. V Therefore it will automaticallytsatisfy every good and unselfish desiref T Iknow we are living in Heaven, around’ the Great White Throne, for the Heaven is not a place geographi- cally, neither is it a place physically exhibited, or materially exhibited, as at great pinnacle of a'Ternp1e, but it is place lifted mentally and spirit- ually above that “of mortality and carnality, where you canbe in Per- fect Harmony one withthe other, "and ‘Love ye‘ one-another’ according to the Gospel. so long as you have every- body else" to Love }as ‘Sup_reTme,' and with all ‘those especiallyf of your - mortal connections, it is a matter of impossibility for you to Love each and everybody’ according to the Scripture. THE DIVINE INTELLIGENCE‘ ‘Love ye one-another even as I have Loved you, for greater Love has noman than" this, thata man lay down his life for his friends.’ When this shall have been established in your recognition, and you shall have concentrated on the positive vividly enough, and all of your mythological Heaven and imaginary Heaven shall have been" completely eradicated and dispelled, thennand there the "New Heaven and/the New Earth will be ushered in, for the Heaven _wg_f__ Spir- itual things W1 be I. 1 I iiiareii‘§1"‘13'Té"n“o:“""’?i”i§d ' the material ; thingswwillwbeﬁuickened with the Spir- /' L,‘ 5 it of Him that has ushered them.

We have all of the Mentality of the Spiritual Realm,—of that Spiritual expression In your fondest imagination as Heav- en. We have the Mind of CHRIST with all of the Angelic mentality transmitted. Therefore we really HAVE it. As we have the Mentality of the Angelics, and the Divine In- ielligence, we also have the Divine Mind completely, with the Divine Spirit transmitted. This is Heaven, and the Heavenly state of expression hat was merely in your imagination. rherefore the first version of Heaven as quickly and speedily passing. The second version of Heaven is coming into expression, FOR JUST THEN I REVEALED IT! THE NEW FORM OF GOVERNMENT Now as the Spiritual and the Men- tal from the Mental Realm of Heaven, ——from your mythological conception of Heaven,——have come into expres- sion, now I am bringing into mater- ialization the New Earth as Well as the New Heaven, and the New form of Government upon the face of the Earth, for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE to be estab- lished for us. Now isn’t that Won- derful! We are not thinking about this RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT, but we KNOW POSITIVELY, every other phase or phrase shall be dis- pelled completely, and RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE shall be universally established, for GOD came to establish it, and He shall not be discouraged until He shall have ac- ~ complished all of His Endeavors. Now as the first Heaven and the first Earth pass away, the first ver- sion of Heaven and all of the first versions of the Mental and Spiritual Realm pass from your mental and spiritual conception, that the Script- ure might be fulfilled, that you might be inheritors and partakers of this New Heaven and this New Earth, for the New Heaven and the New Earth would come forth into expression after your mental and your spiritual conception of it, when the ol-d one was dispelled completely. Dispelling the old Heaven and bringing into- your conscious realization the New Heaven ,is a mental and a spiritual unfoldment as a state of conscious- The “SPOKEN WOR ” ness, but when we bring all of the material things into the State of Con- sciousness where I Am, then and there I have a SPIRITUAL EARTH PLANE upon which to live. That is the mystery! UNIFYING GOD AND MAN Now I have brought from the mythological, imaginary Heaven, all that was in that mythological, imag- inary Heaven. All that was in your fondest imagination, I have brought it to the Earth plane, but after bring- ing all the Mental and Spiritual Realm of GOD and of His Majesty and Mercy to the Earth plane, it was es- sential to bring into SPIRITUALITY the whole material system of things and cause it to be a New Earth, for the whole Earth has a brand New Birth. Now isn’t that Wonderful! All of the -things of the Earth shall be converted to GOD’ and brought into subjection even though they be material and from the material realm, GOD has brought the Spiritual down to the material plane, that the ma- terial and the Spiritual might be one. For this cause I Came, to unify GOD and man. ‘The first man Adam was of the Earth, earthy; the second Adam is The Lord from Heaven . . . He taketh away the first that He may establish the second.’ Do you not see the mystery? I believe you SEE it! Then the first, from the mystical, from the mythological and imaginary realm, through the. con- descension of the Infiniteness of GOD’S Presence,———He brought that down from that imaginary realm, and all of His Love and Mercy, in fulfill- ment of the Scripture and in fulfill- ment of your prayers you have pray- ed, to let The Kingdom come. He brought it down among you firstly, before I allowed you to incarnate it collectively and universally, Before I converted, and quickened, and spirit- ualized, and electrified the whole ma- terial system of things, and made the old Earth a New one, I gave it -to you firstly a New Spiritual Birth. Therefore you were the incarnators, and the expressers, and the reflectors individually of that New:Heaven, and the New version of the New Earth. But when it was conceived in you and developed, and brought to frui- tion through your connection and through others’ connection, I have brought the vr..ole material system ‘Heaven’ and a New Earth,‘ ‘of GOD is WITH men. Tuesday, July 14th, 1936 into subjection through this great Conversion, Therefore, the whole Earth, with all of the political ma- chinery, shall be converted to GOD and shall have a brand New Birth ac- cording to the Scripture, for the first Heaven and. the first Earth have passed away and there is no more sea. HEAVEN A PLACE IN REALITY Oh it is a privilege dear ones! The I Say, you are living in Heaven around the Great White Throne; in Heaven as a place in reality, not a place geographically, but a Place in Consciousness where _I_,_ am. Since you have come into this State of Con- sciousness and into this recognition, you find the reality of your imaginary Heaven, as your imaginary Heaven has been incarnated and connected with the Ea\_r_t_l_1,, scientifically accord- ing to’ the Scripture.‘ Th_eEart,h___,is having a brand New Birth. All ma- teriT1T thingsare having a brand New Birth and a brand New aspect 0 things, therefore all things have changed. Therefore we have a New , for the former things have passed GOD shall wipe all tears from your eyes. GOD'S Tabernacle, he said, shall be with men, and He will Dwell ‘With them,——GOD HIMSELF, not The Son, shall be with them and they shall be His People and He shall be their GOD, GOD shall wipe all tears from their eyes; there shall be no more sorrow, there shall be no more crying; for the former things have passed away. Do you not see it is fulfilled? ful! GOD has wiped all tears from your eyes, for GOD is WITH men and the Tabernacle of GOD,—the very BODY He shall Dwell with them, and GOD shall wipe all tears from their eyes; there shall be no more sorrow, no more crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away. Now isn’t that Wonderful! Be- hold, I make all things New} That is what it said. You see it was es- sential for GOD HIMSELF to be with you. The Sonship Degree of expression had been with you nine- teen hundred years, and every time the Sonship Degree of expressipn would appear, they would kill tlfe Sonship Degree of expression.

President Roosevelt Officiates New York, July 11th.—The new Triborough bridge ,a colossus of steel and concrete, connecting Man- hattan, the Bronx, and Queens in one great link which straddles Wards and Randalls Islands, fling- ing itself across the East and Har- lem Rivers in a great sky high- way, was dedicated today with Pres- ident Roosevelt participating in the opening ceremonies. The new $60,300,000 bridge, whose water crossings, viaducts and high- ways sweep out for seventeen and one-half miles into Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx, marked one of the greatest public works projects ever undertaken and a permanent improvement -of inestimable value to New York City. First conceived in 1916, the idea began ‘to take form in 1929. But the completion of the giant structure had to await better times. With the aid of $42,000,000 of Federal money the bridge was at length finished and ready for dedi- cation ceremonies Saturday. It was estimated that 200.000 rushed to use the new bridge on the opening day by every method of conveyance known. President Roosevelt’s speech was described as non-political and was delivered before 4,000 invited guests. By many the Presidents words were regarded as a reply to critics of the government's policy of fi- nancing public works and a challenge to those who oppose Federal spend- ing on local projects. President Roosevelt said: '‘‘People require and people are demanding up-to-date government, just as they are requiring and de- manding tri-borough bridges in the place of ancient ferries.” The Presidential party was the first to drive over the 17% miles of bridge while thousands of onlookers gathered about all approaches, which for blocks were gaily decorated; the whole affair taking on a sort of “country picnic” aspect. Governor Lehman expressed gra- titude to the ‘U. s. for the aid ren- dered ‘In the consummation of the great span while Mayor l'..a Guardia ‘the referred to the President as “the chief engineer, the master builder, the leader of this great march of the American people.” The Tribor-ough bridge united not only three metropolitan boroughs of New York but united two avowed enemies who had never before met ——Secretary Ickes, Secretary of the Interior, and Commissioner Robert Moses, head of the Bridge Authority and New York’s Commissioner of Public Works. Declaring that such “enterprises” were too big for en- mities the two were reconciled in an unexpected highlight of the Bridge, dedication. Ickes had long opposed Moses seeking at one time his re- moval. Moses in his introduction of Public Works Administrator, said that he felt that “venom and bitterness are bad, for the chemistry of the soul." Comprehensive pictures above show the magnitude of the Tri-Boro bridge. i Each temple is in its rightful place when “self” gets out of the way. ‘ 5——Guest' Speakers. \ Q , Jilly i1_f4‘th. 1936” C ’ tiialiforniaiiistate Convention I of the p ‘- ‘.1 Internationally Righteous Government .~,Father_;3;Divine? s Peace Mission Movement STE-1>1tC AUDI'ToR1UM I A’ $1.23 North" Lake street,‘ Angeles, Calif. ‘FR/IADAYV, JULY‘ 31st,‘I936 A.D.F.D. 1AC'_-‘einternaition-a1’ Righteous Government SONG. p . 2,—+Opening.'address-’to Delegates outlining. the Purpose of _ -“the Convention by the Chairman of Meeting. 3—Ro1l'i.cal1 of Delegates, A 4+Outline« of " the Program for ' e Convention. fl»-Llnspirational Song.

(Editors note: Requests have come to this magazine for an explanation of the new order cntitled “Plenocrac_y”——Its founders have given us the following) PLENOCRACY is a new word. It comes from the Latin word “Ple- nus,” which means “Plenty,” and--the Greek word “Kratos,” which means “Power.” So the word means “The Power of Plenty,” or, in other words, “The Science of Creating Plenty for All.” Its Philosophy PLENOCRACY sees the universe as a living whole, absolutely perfect, to which nothing can be added and from which nothing can be abstract- ed. This living whole is gpervaided in all its parts by the omnipotent principle of life, as Father Divine says, “There is no‘ part vacant of the fullness thereof.” Pl.'ENO- ICRACY sees man as ‘a living part of this living whole; or, to put it in another way, man is the whole in expression" through an ever-expand- ing consciousness. PLENOCRACY sees the universe as the perfect ‘model of a coopera- "tive commonwealth, having an inner invisible pattern and an outer form. The outer form is the visible uni-. verse in the multitude of its external expressions. PLENOCRACY sees that this outer universe, in all its varied forms, is the inner pattern in ex- pression or the inner principle ex- pressed in economic terms of abund- ance for all. In PLENOCRACY the outer or visible universe is nothing more nor less than the principle of Providence expressing itself in terms of abund- ance of material supplies for all forms of life. PLENOCRACY sees, then, that the universe is the perfect model of and economic order that cannot be improved on, and PLENOCRACY declares that man’s chief and only business is to set up a duplicate this perfect model on this earth; in other words, to materialize or bring into tangible form that statement in The Lord's Prayer: “Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” .Sir James Jeans, in his great ‘ book. “The Universe Around Us,”’ has givenus a picture of the per- fect model in the heavens; and to use Father Divine’s powerful and ‘simple language, PLENOCRACY would “fangibilate” this model; in other words, bring it down out of the invisible and set it up in ma- terial form on the earth so that all mankind would receive its benefits immediately. VPLENOCRACY also sees that since man is a living part of the living whole, it_ is his business ‘to adjust himself to this perfect order: first, in building his own individual life, and second, in building his ins- titutions. To do this, man must know the truth concerning himself and his relations to the universe, for it is by knowing the truth that man ob- tains freedom. “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” PLENOCRACY sees that when man _is ignorant of the truth, con- cerning himself and his relations to the universe, , he manufactures, false substitutesfor the truth, and ac- cepts them. By accepting these false substitutes, man puts himself into prison and forges the chains of his ‘own slavery. The constituent ele- ments of the dungeons in which he groans and suffers are his own false beliefs, or, as Father Divine puts it, “human _'versions.” So long as man creates human versions for the truth and is governed by them, just so long he will Welter in woe, slavery and chaos. Man cannot advance. any further than his mistakes. This principle holds good in mathematics, music, and all other departments of human thought and action. It is an un- changeable, inflexible, and all-per- vading law. ',LEN‘oc_i=z_AcY sees that «the I AM in man is the I AM of the uni- verse at large _in expression. In other wo_rds,,to_ use Father Divine’s words, the great I AM is “person- alized” in the individual man. The great, I AM, is neutral and imperson- al: it _ no favorites. There are iprivileged individuals or na- tions; this omnipotent force or Tliesiiay, Juiy 14th, 1936.... 3 i , l _‘ :. . 4 . energy, offers itself to all; it does not ‘care who uses it. The principle of mathematics is universal, eternal, neutral and im- personal. It offers itself to all; it does not care who uses it. When an individual knows ma'thematics-in otherpwords, absorbs it—he becornes a mathematician. The neutral and impersonal principle of mathematics is personalized in the individual; and ' the measure of his power in doing the_ things that can be done in mathematics. “So the Universal Creative Principle of the universe is individualized in every man whether he knows itor not. If he does not know it, it is of no value to him. Man can use this power construct- iveiy or destructively: he can use it topbenefit the whole, or he can use it to amass private profit for the few. If the mathematician uses mathematics to curse, blast, or wreck his fellows, the principle of mathematics is not to blame. If he uses it to bless his fellows, mathe- matics should not be rewarded. Ma- the-matics is above the realm of blame or reward. It, is in the realm of_ perfection. So, if man uses the power of the Universal Creative Principle to turn the earth with all itsvast resources [into a hell, the Principle is not to blame. Man alone is responsible‘. PLEN-OCRACY, then, is a Prin- ciple, and ‘that Pr-inciple is “God in action? through man. God supplies the power, and man directs it. If man puts, the machine into reverse and ditches it, he is to blame. Cooperative schemes one after an- cther. have failed because they neg- lected the “fundamental” education. Jesus, the great Master, said: Ex- cepta man be born again, he can- not see. the Kingdom of God.” So, in PLENOCRACY, a man must first become an incarnation of the Prin- ciple before [he can harmoniously cioperate with his fellow students.

The chairmen report on the activities of Sugges- tions, ideas, criticisms, etc., are in- vited of those present. Sister Lehman, chairman ‘of the Research Department, stressed the importance of doing strictly re- search work. She felt qualified‘ workers were needed. There should be concentrated work. A knowledge of the officials and personal contact with them was necessary. Statistical facts should be obtained. Brother Forteau, chairman of the State Committee of the Research Depart- ment, said valuable , could be procured through other sources than newspapers. Libraries had books, papers, etc., which con- tained information. Miss Barbee, chairman of the Well fare Department, gave location of play-schools, and said she h-ad ad- vised the guardians to send the children to same. She said the dif- ferent activities were progressing, and there would be a display of the children's work done in the sewing school later on. Miss Perry, chair- man of the Educational Depart- ment, said there appeared to be seg- regation in thelHigh-schools, as only three were available to children in . Harlem. It was pointed out by some of those present that it might be due to zoning. Brother Forteau was appointed to get information on the subject. , Brother Beeman, instructor of pol- itics ‘ at the 126th Street Forum, told of the work being done there with regard to registering and vot- ing. He also said it, was necessary to start now to get suitable banners for parades. Brother Jay Victory, chairman of the Citizenship Depart- ment, said -*the work was progress- .ing, and he would submit a written report at the next meeting.

He felt united study and discussion of the same plank at all Forums would bring great results, and arrestpthe atten- 4tion of the masses. Later on, he would present the idea in its en- of different Meetings, etc. ' tirety. Brother Madison called attention to an important subject~—Divine Business. He asked for suggestions as to how business could be run on a Divine basis. Brother Little- john, a coal’ dealer and restaurant owner, told of sharing his business with his workers in order to carry out the co-operative plan of Father ‘Divine. He had sold them a share at one cent each, so as to comply ,with the law. Brother Madison out- lined his ideas of Divine Business, and what it would ‘mean to have a new world of finance. Brother Howland, Editor of the New York News, ‘ said he would have some- thing to say on this subject later on. Brother Madison appointed him and others to -form a committee to dis- cuss ways and means of working out business on the Divine Plan—— the _Plan of FATHER DIVINE——— Tuesday, ‘July’ 14th, .1936, ., i ' .

The charge of “Communism” has been leveled atthe project but this has not deterred true observers from A j ‘ noting the constructive possibilities of such anundertaking. \ 'ruesd_ay,_ July ,_14tl,1, , 19,36 . it its‘ be ‘ And _\(ou’ré 7Wio"ng If You Don’t friend and_myse1f ,vvere_,o1iscus- sing the ,sub;ie_ct 0f,;,.criti__c_isrn. “At length We came to the _consideration qf,__the.._1,ot of...th,e. average follower of, the. great .Movement_ of_ Truth. _ )Out of the inﬁormal confab came these de- ductions. it ‘ _ V _ If one attends the._ meetings regular- ly, people say, “What’s..he or she (the sinner), doing here?” A If,‘ one stays away, people‘ say, “Why t'1‘oe"sn'*t so-an-so come and be - sited 1?" if one ven:ture's~\to testify,_tlie‘y say, “its selfcoiiceit’ and ,e1galtation.” ,. :,[f__OI1:¢__ remains silent, they say, “Why doesn't he ‘orjs-he (the culprit), confess his sins and praise God 1"’ ,1’-fwone enters a business or engages any energetic‘ activity, they say, “He's racketeerin§——hé has a “money conscio’usnéss’.” _ _ .9P€.t.°3?e eeee eetl we er_.,.s1tart,e bos;;iess,_— ,théy,,,s,e5$.,,‘fI~I;e's lazy, he's impract,_ical,A,,, }1nproﬁtabl:e.’f ' _ reniains in New yorlt) Where the Personal, Body of _FATHER__ DI- VINE; ._:,s;., the§'..eair,’ _‘.‘Be, is toirqwne the does‘ ‘ rgot_;i{e;oo§nize the Spirit .%eeﬁe7e. e°ei::iéi:eeeece-f’. . .I.f éhe. .1iveé.e1§e6vhei"‘se.,. they éei, “He. . .d..<>.es‘t1.’§ reeeéeiee ,.£h;e; .Bedyehe is ‘following the “metaphysical ver- sion.” 1:, one age; say «at is selﬁsh, greedy_p _ , Iflone is ‘fbrol{'é," they say “he is - in 1ackS,'wa§in’ts, and Iii§iifa£ioﬁs.’j.

What a mountain can be built with that which has the brand of good, by extending the consideration of the varied meaning inspired by this Wonderful Word, “meek”. The vocabulary of -Spirit will no doubt be the only one used as we lay aside all memory of that which defileth or maketh a lie. This will be realized only when we" have entered the Kingdom of GOD and closed the " ; door that cannot open again to that state of consciousness known as V "conscious mentality,” M g All those who have been blessed with spiritual discernment, whose eyes have no longer a beam, can see face to face with _the actual, tang- ible Presence of GOD and know that it is HE HIMSELF and none other, They know (and this is more than belief) that every Word HE speaks ‘must have a place above all that ever spoke, that its value is more than rubies and diamonds and that nothing can possibly be compared’ to it. Knowing thehgreat LOVE of GOD and likewise A set HIMS_ELF up above another but seek to,be heard as occasion per- mitted and thus FATHER DIVINE would desire that HIS Messages ap- pear “incidental” along with the writings of others. . ’ As has been stated before they who know GOD, know that the Words of the Apostle were not said in vain and that they are true‘ HIS Meekness -and, _ Lowliness we know HE would not Words, for the apostle said in the Epistle according to Hebrews, “The Word of GOD is quick and power- ful and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even t-o the dividing asunder of Soul -and Spirit, and of the joint and marrow, and it a dis- cerner of «the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in HIS sight: but all /things are naked and open whom we have to do.” It is said without the possibility of contradiction that those who truly know their. GOD, also know HIS Messages are entitled to first con- sideration, andiwe say this because we, like the Apostle desire to “come boldly unto ‘the throne of Grace,that we may G,race_to help us in time of need.” To those who only see FATHER DIVINEhas. a great teacher or as a GODLY Man, HIS wonderful Mes- sages‘ may seem “incidenta ” but they will soon learn as thousands of them are daily that these words could not really have ,a second place anywhere in the Universe. We THANK FATHER DIVINE that we have been inspired to write this Editorial as a slight expression of the great LOVE, DEVOTION and APPRECIATION we feel towards HIM through HIS Condescension, HI-S Love and Mercy to the many‘ of us whose life and acts were un- worthy of HIS Love and Mercy, - without the Grace that HE has shed abroad in our hearts. - A In consideration of. the Words statedherein we‘ cannot lose our vi- sion nor believe that ‘any and an of HIS Words are entitled to less than first place on the First Page of every written Word. They have that place in ourlhearts now and" because of HIS wish that’ HIS Messages. ap- pear incidental, we desire to do HIS will always knowing that HE is never wrong: Going Forward!

There can be no “stagnation” in a progressive universe. There is no such thing as “standing still” in the inevit- able course of evolution. _ One must either progress or re- \. trogress. One must either advance or deteriorate. Whatever his personal ‘course of action or preconceived no- tions, man’s path must lead up or V‘ down. If he is not progressing he is retrogressing. The state of “standing still,’f if such a condition it may be . ' . called, means deterioration in the last analysis, The “Spoken Word" approaches the occasion of two years of its existence in a few months. These months, (which have ﬂown by, lost in .the “nothingness’ .-’of time), have been marked by progress and accomplish- , ment.“ Nothing short of perfection has ever been set as the goal of The \ “Spoken Word” and this ideal beckons . ever onward. In the evolution of“ this magazine there have been im- perfections along the way quite pos- sibly. Like the proverbial Rome that was“not built in a day, The “Spoken Word” has been the product of ex- perience, in the long run, the great- est of all teachers. But stumbling blocks have been turned into stepping stones and progress maintained. The ultimate in journalistic excel- lence, to which The “Spoken Word” aspires, may not always seem ap- parent to some exacting critics——and with these friends we take no issue. The “Spoken Word” has made marked advance consistently since» the day of its inception. Weekly evidence, has told the story of pro- ‘-1 ress in one of the most highly com- petitive and difficult fields known "to the wordly view. ‘ ‘ Those privileged to render servic in the production of The “Spoken Word” gain renewed vision and confi- ’ dence in the fact that each issuere—‘ _ "flects a consistently forward march O’ of improvement. This fact, in itself, is the assurance of its success, The “Spoken Word" will not “stand A. still.”.»’ , A It will pressforward in the mark Q , of its high. calling to the “goal,of7¥ -journalistic excellence.” A . ‘I ' . i.I . ” fTuasaay.

FORUM, — 99 WINYAH AVENUE,-—NEW ROCHELLE, N, Y., SATURDAY, JULY 4TH, 1936 A.D.F.D. 10.10 P. M. A Avoiding the heavily travelled highways between the Catskills and New York, FATHER took to the Air on July the\Fourth, and ﬂew from the Promised Land to New Rochelle for the Righteous Government Fo- rum. *Part; of His Staff had made the journey in. two of the private planes at,FATHER'S disposal, in'the late afternoon, and FATHER fol- lowed later, arriving at the Armonk Airport during the early evening. Though many cars awaited His coming at the Airport, FATHER chose wit-h Characteristic Humility to ride in the open rumble seat of the car driven by His Aviatrix, while He directed two of His Secretaries, Miss Bobby and Miss Charity, to ride in ~ the front seat, When the thou- sands who awaited Him at the Peace Mission in New Rochellesaw FA- THER arrive in this fashion, they surged forward to the car in their Love and Devotion, to gaze on the Holy Body of their Lord as He leaped from the rumble seat to the ground. In the Auditorium and Dining Room of the Peace Mission, as ‘many as could be accommodated within its doors had been gathered in a Right- eous Government Forum lasting all day, and they were eager as always, to hear FATHER Speak Personally. Among them was a group of Socialist Officials from Bridgeport, Connecti- cut, who had also remained to hear FATHER Speak and attend the Ban- quet, after heartily endorsing FA- THER’S Activities for RIGHTEOUS- NESS, JUSTICE and TRUTH among the children of men. ‘ Therefore when FATHER appeared on‘ the Rostrum, a great shout of Joy and expectation went up as the Believers looked upon the Body of their Saviour, the Tabernacle of "GOD, and awaited His WORD-S of ' Spirit and of Life. As the hour was late and a Banquet was-awaitingf Him Rochelle, N. Y. downstairs, FATHER arose almost immediately to Speak. ‘We have come to-day to represent our Right- eous Government Department of the Peace Mission Movement; no longer merely to make men HOLY, but also to make men FREE,’——He Declared, as He Delivered an Indepe dence Day address that was purely Irlilspirational and Spontaneous as always,‘ but sur- ‘passing anything that ever came from the lips of man. The Message in full, was as follows:— >|<» “PEACE EVERYONE! Here we are again, and there .I sit and stand. That is the way we should have been from the very beginning. ,Now isn’t that Wonderful! By the transmis- sion of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, we stand together in unity. By the transmission of our .thoughts from one to the other we are partakers of the One Inﬁnite set of Characteristics; putting off the old man with all of his deeds, and put- ting on the New Man, the New CHRIST Consciousness, becoming to be New Creatures as individuals, at- tracting and drawing the millions to- ‘gether by the great unfoldment of the Limitlessness of GOD’S Inﬁnite- ness. ' A GREAT CHANGE OBSERVED Why are people drawn to this Movement? It is because it is fasci- nating, it is vibrating, it is magnetic, and so closely related to the Inﬁnite until the Characteristics and the Na- ture of the Inﬁnite, the very vibra- tions are partakers oft-hem. Oh it is a privilege to live in the actual Presence of GOD. We do stress it’ over and over again from time: to time, but at times we feel more im- pressed and more desirous to stress the signiﬁcance of the actual Pres- , ence of GOD when it is exhibited so vividly before you ‘all. Just look over this vast Audience and think once, yea think twice, and observe the great change that has taken place in practically everyone's , life. How could such a change take place in the lives of men, unless they ghteous Government Platform in Message at New were in the actual transforming Grace of the Presence of Him that Liveth , forever and forever? It COULD not, for in all of your studies and all of your work and iniall of your endeavors, it was a matter of impossibility for you to change your- selves, and especially to change other persons. But by this great Conver- - sion Which I am expressing, you can observe the millions that are changed ‘from that which is commonly known by the Religions, ‘from nature to Grace.’ ‘ TAKING ON THE ‘ . NATURE OF CHRIST These My Followers and Believers, have been changed from that Adamic state of consciousness. They are dew ~ siring, in other words they desire no longer to walk therein, for they have found by self-experience ras individ-> uals, by presenting their bodies as living-. sacriﬁces to GOD they are made pure and clean; free from sin, from vice‘ and crime, and from every- thing of‘ that kind, Not only so, but being freed from the innate sin, and ‘every other detestable manifested in the personality of them-. selves, you can see the physical bod< ies taking on new vigor, the physical - bodies taking on new courage, the physical bodies taking a new hold > on Life; recognizing GOD'S Presence to dispel all weakness, all doubts and fears; making up their minds to live in the Kingdom of Heaven, not up in the sky but here on Earth, For this cause they are rejoicinglw For this cause they are rising from all materialism, all mortality, human, affection, lust and passion, and every other detestable tendency, and are taking on the Nature of CHRIST the Saviour, becoming to be New «Creatures. For this cause, as indi- viduals you have come together as many collectively, r e p r e s e nting RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE. «Upon this Foundation, the Government of this present Civ- ilization universally, shall be estab- lished. Why? VVhy is it we stress it so vivid1y?'g It is because - the change in the hearts and the minds expression a 13 of these My Believers has caused them to become to be New Creatures. - The chaiige that has taken place in‘ their experiences, it has caused them to become to be New Creatures as. well as renewed by the renewing of the mind. The physical bodies have taken on new courage, new zeal, new vigor, and the very expression of Life itself manifested in the ﬂesh.

Now they are endeavoring to -, make their Religious views and their Religious devotion, real, tangible and practical, and bring it through Legality and establish it as aReal- ity.,_ ., Oh it is a privilege to see the I great unfoldment of GOD Himself on Earth. You in Me, and I in you,—— thisiis the mystery of the Truth,—— the transmission of that Impersonal One from one to the other "until RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE‘ Shall be rightfully estab- lished universally. When this shall have been rightfully established uni- versally, we will have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT. This, does not mean to Say, or I do not mean to Say whichever, we will have a RIGHT- EOUS GOVERNMENT merely here in White Plains or New Rochelle, but I do mean to Say, we will havea '-[RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT here in New Rochelle and in every other ‘, village, City, Hamlet, State and Ter- ritory in connection with this Country, and in all other Countries. CONVERTED INTO THIS ‘ GREAT UNFOLDMENT , The little leaven leaveneth the whole lamp, and this 'Leaven which I am expressing shall cont-agionize the , whole Universe, and all mankind shall ’ ‘‘ eventually bring themselves into sub- jection to the CHRIST, and recognize GOD’S Presence even as you do. Now is not that a glorious privilege, and is not this a Sample an-d an Example? . Is not this exemplified on My Im- ‘L iimediate Staff, and in and among " ‘ those who -have been converted into this greatﬁinfoldment? You can seem honesty, icompetence , and Truth brought into‘ expression. You do not mg any onger selling their political Virtue; 0, any longer whoring after A see the ?iildren of this Understand- ‘bother go s for filthy lucre, but they are gove ‘ned by their highest intui- tion and they are moved by their own! voluntee ' volition. They are bringing TRUTH and _at this vast Audience! , that Wonderful! PEACE The “SPOKEN wom)" _, THE SPIRIT OF PEACE Mankind can and will have the Vic- tory -over every difficulty, for GOD Himself through His condescension among them, will give them Victory over death and over sin. Just look The very Spir- it of Peace Rules, in the one where Peace has Dominion, Now is not Peace controls the Masses wheresoever I am, because is the Watch-word‘ and PEACE is our Salvation. By our words, we speak into action the ex- pression of what we are stressing. Therefore we bring mankind into Sub- jection by our Watch-word, our Sal- vation. Now we do not need ‘to have a regiment of policemen. The very Spirit of My Presence in the Spirit of Meekness and obedience, through Peace and unity, WILL have Do- minion and will bring mankind into subjection, and teach them a simple lesson in mortal human affection. Now why did I Say, it will teach them a simple lesson in mortal human af- fection? It is because since the Light of the Spirit of Truth in the name of Civilization, has advanced to this de- gree, you do not see the Teachers in Schools, and parents of children, endorsing the people in using bru- tality to control them. Human intel- ligence teaches, you can train your children without‘ beating them like you would beat [a wild beast. Now ‘ isn’t that Wonderful! Human intellect in its version from that degree-of expression, will teach mankind universallya lesson, to get away from brutality and every other detestable expression, If human in- telligence in our kindergartens can teach the Son to prohibit mankind from using brutality to control His children", how much more can GOD through His Love and Mercy, Teach you the lesson how to live Righteous- ly, GODLY and soberly in this pres- ent world, without using the expres- sion of brutality to bring you into subjection? ' * CONTROLLED BY LOVE AND KINDNESS I, Say 'we shall Rule the people of the Earth -with RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, instead of de- structive forces with arms. We shall control them by Love and kindness instead of by violence, and hate,’ and resentment. . N ow isn’t "that Wonder- . under Page 19 ful! We shall control them by cour- age and zeal, and Divine Understand- ing, Divine Intelligence, rather than control them by fear and by talking about killing them, You have been taught in your early days that you ~ must die and go to ‘the other place’ if you do .not do this, that or the other. It was the teaching of Re- ligion, to frighten you and scare you into obedience, but by the Spirit of My Presence I will Teach you Wis- dom. You shall no longer have a cause to teach your children, or mem- bers of your Churches and their Re- ligions, the fear of brutality and of being destroyed, to cause them to be obedient. IS not this a Sample? Is not this an Example,—when you can observe the millions the Universe over and My Personal /Jurisdiction, speaking and acting according to My good Pleasure? It is not because I have told them if they did not be- ' lieve in Me I would kill them, but to the contrary, what says the Com- position or Song so often sung among us,— ‘He Rules the world with Truth and Grace, And makes the Nations prove, The Glory of His" R-ighteousness, And the Wonders of His Love.’ OBEDIENCE THE RESULT OF LOVE I will cause the inhabitants of the Earth to prove the Glory of GOD'S Righteousness and the Wonders, of His Love; no longer cause them to prove it by fear of being destroyed, but to the contrary, for the Love for GOD. My Followers LOVE Me! Do you not? enthusiastic shout of the Masses.) You will obey Me because you LOVE Me; you will not obey Me because you fear Me, or fear that I might send ‘you to ‘the other place’ better known as _‘H’ but not Heaven. To the reverse, you LOVE Me because «I have brought to you such a Light as no man has given, the Omniluscent Spirit whichVI am expressing, you will find the Universe eventually develop into it, and all mankind shall recognize GOD’S Pres- ence as the only Hope of Redemption for all humanity. - Then "I Say RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE is the Watch- (‘YES FATHER,’ was the .

By JACKSON BARRY In of the desperate efforts of diehard conservatives only slogan is “protect our fat pro- ﬁts at all cost!” therejcan be little doubt that the great hiulk of Amer- icans are behind President Roosevelt in his effort to lead the country out of the economic morass. From many quarters, and even among professed liberals and radicals, have come much wailing and protest against the wide popularity of Mr. Roosevelt. and the/ general tendency of most liberal elements to support _ him. “Compromise!” shout the radicals who see the v swing to Roosevelt as little short of treason. Lifelong lib- erals -deciding to throw their sup- port of the President are branded as the “friends of capitalism,” etc., etc. Have the_ sincere and genuine lib- erals;_ those men who have fought unstintingly ‘for, years in the cause of the people, ab_andoned their cru- sade and surrendereid to the enemy? An honest, impartial look at the sit- , uation points to the doubt of this conclusion. , , _ As‘ Upton Sinclair some nlonths agopointed out, the Epic forces would seek to make their voice’ heard at the Convention through a delegation representing production for use, nom- inatinggthe. writer merely as a ges- ture_ for President, later throwing their support’ for Roosevelt. Mr. Sin- clair,,while admitting that President Roosevelt's program lacked much of the necessarypoints for the accom- plishment of the liberal aims, con- ceded that in ithe president was the only immediate hope of the liberal_ forces off; America.

President Roosevelt was once quoted as saying to Upton Sinclair in a Washington interview that “he would proceed as fast as the people would let him.” , , '_ The present Administration, under the vision and friendliness of the President to the__people’s cause, is rapidly becoming more and more “leftist.” But it can proceed only as fast as the people permit it, Presi- dent Roosevelt and" his colleagues are merely awaiting the authorization and mandate’ of the _people before proceeding more definitely with _the program of social justice which Amer- ica has long foreseen. With the reactionary, forces at present still holding the balance, of power, apparently, i_t',is only wisdom for the liberals to gain what points they can, a little eta time, until bet- ter days,arrive when the REAL op- portunity comes to" strike with great- er __e_ffectiveness!, , , p ‘-In Roosevelt theliberals have a friend,‘ at least _one whose general course ,_ and ,rneas_u,res,_ have indicated a favorable,,‘,Z'xttitli't__le_ toward the cause of liberalism.

Pres- ident Rooseve1t’s backing has come from the people, in the main, and it is the people only who can lend final success to his efforts, It is the conviction of the majority of impartial and farsighted liberals that the President is ready to do his part. ' President Roosevelt must be given the mandate from the people! ' Savage attacks on capitalism will not be the means of overthrowing its power but the united force of the masses exercised intelligently with vision will furnish the means of com-. batting most effectively the reign of these barons.

There this Department submits to you this bit of information, _ The chief duty of the President of the United States is to enforce the laws made by Congress. The work which the Constitution and Congress have given him to do—such as col- lecting taxes, delivering mail, manag- ing the Army and Navy, building public roads, taking the census, na- turalizing immigrants, and so on-—-is so great that s-imilar kinds of work must be grouped together and carried on almost entirely in ten depart- ments. It would be impossible for the President to be in direct charge of all the departments, To help him he appoints ten officials, eight of whom .are called “Secretaries,” one the “Attorney General,” and one the “Postmaster General.” To each of thesehe gives a certain kind of work to do, placing him in charge of ade- partment, such as the Departmentnof State, the Department of the Trea- sury, or the Department of Labor. A Secretaryis not only the head of his department, directing its daily work, but also an adviser to the Pre- sident regarding the affairs of his de- partment and the general welfare of the country. The President usually has regular meetings of these ofﬁ- . cials to talk over matters of general public interest. When they meet as the President’s confidential advisers, they form the President’s Cabinet. Through: the ten departments and the several other independent organ- izations such as the Library of Con- gress, Civil Service Commission, In- terstate Commerce Commission, The Veterans’ Administration, and Pan- ama Canal, which Congress has placed under the Chief Executive, the Presi- dent enforces the laws. When Con- gress passed a law saying that all our meat must- be ,.in,spected, to pre- ,v_e‘nt impure meatfrensi being‘ placed go to the ‘ foreign ‘countries, on the market, the duty of. inspect- ing was given to the executive de- partment which was best ‘fitted to carry on the work, the Department of Agriculture. It was then the Pre- sident’s duty to see that the Secre- tary of Agriculture employed enough inspectors to do the work properly in the Stockyards, packing houses, and elsewhere in the country. The President, through the Department of Agriculture, is responsible for see- ing that the meat we buy has been inspected to be sure it has come from healthy animals. -VVhen we add to this duty hundreds of others, we can understand why the President has so much to do and has so much power. The ten departments are: Department of State, Department of the Treasury. Department» of War. Department of Justice. Post Office Department." Department of the Navy. Department of the Interior. Department of Agriculture. Department of Commerce, Department of Labor. Department of State The first department to be estab- lished when Washington was Presi- dent was the Department of State. The Secretary of State has the im- portant work of carrying on the for-, eign affairs of our Government, by directing the work of our ambassa- dor and consuls in foreign countries, receiving the representatives from assisting in the making of treaties, issuing passports, and giving protection to American citizens who travel abroad, In the Department of State are kept the original copies of all laws, treaties, amendments to the Consti- tution, and proclamations by the Pre- sident. These are published by the Secretary of State. Department of the Treasury » This department collects the income taxes and the duties on imports, to- gether with all other National taxes. Out of the Treasury it pays the bills of the Government which Congress has approved. It also has charge of making the United States money. It works out a budget for every depart- ment, that is to say, it makes a list of an the expenses which each de- Tuesday, July 14th, 1536, ' partment -will probably have during the coming year and determines how, ‘much money should be used. This budget is given to Congress to as- sist it in making appropriations. The Secretary of the Treasury has charge of the public health work of the Gov- ernment, -. Department of War" The Secretary of War has charge of the affairs of the Army, the build- ing of forts; the. improving of rivers and harbors, and the government of the Philippine Islands and Puerto Rico. , , / Department of Justice The Attorney General has charge of this department. He is the lawyer for the Government and advises the President and his Secretaries on legal questions__ If any person commits a ,, crime against the United States, such ’ as counterfeiting, the Attorney Gen- , . eral or his assistants see that the of- fender is brought to trial and repre- sent the Government in the trial. Post Office Department The Postmaster General manages the handling of mailpin this country and arranges for its delivery in for-_ eign countries. Letters, post cards, newspapers ,money, and packages are carried" by railroads ,ste;amships, air- planes, motor trucks, ‘horses and wagons, and delivered by persons called letter‘ carriers. This depart- ment also has» a system -of postal sav- in‘gs‘ banks. Department of-the Navy The Secretary of the Navy has charge of building, naming, and equip- ping warships and other War vessels. With the naval airplanes exploring trips are sometimes taken. I Department of the Interior Many important kinds of work are done by this department. Land which We have bought or gained from wars has been sold at a very low price to, , people who would settle on it and‘ improve it, The Indians who live in this country - I are taken care of by the Government. Schools and land are provided for them. .

It fwas nearing twilight of a steaming summer day when we set out, for Sayville, the world famous “retreat” of Father Divine. The humidity lay in a great soggy‘.b1an- ket over all New York and as we; threaded our way through teeming Harlem, improvised showers,’ created from street hydrants, afforded al- most enviable relief for swarms of joyful, prancing children. ‘ A phone call had been made to‘ Sayville; permission had been se- cured to pay a brief visit, and it was. with grateful anticipation that we looked forward to this welcome despite from the pressing heat and duties of the city. “ Eastward, on 125th ‘Street, we made our way .until the gray towers of The giant new Tri-borough bridge loomed before us. Sufficient daylight remained to distinguish the features of the great skyway as we took our place in the line of cars approach- ing the .span, which connects Man- hattan and the Bronx with Queens and all of Long Island. In no time we were whisked across one section to the Bronx; a neatly uniformed attendant collected a 25 cent toll, and we swung over to the second and longer stretch to Queens. Over the gleaming silver suspension bridge, high above Wards and _Randalls Is- lands and the East River, we sailed along the -elevated sky highway, which runs for seventeen miles through the three boroughs. The ‘vast panorama of the great metropolis passed swiftly before our eyes as; we sped on our way to Say- ville. But a‘ few hours before the dedication ceremonies had taken place, notable figures from the high official life of the city’ and nation had made eloquent speeches, and the President himself had ridden ‘over the long concrete expanse in the first party to cross the new bridge. In an amazingly short time we were well out into Long Island, the lately constructed Grand Central Parkway with its express highway and absence of cross road intersec- tions, making virtually nostotps nec- essary. For perhaps twenty-five or thirty miles , along this u‘ltra-mocl- . The “SPOKEN wo1u)"" ern highway we continued, through pretty residential sections. The heat of the city had been left suddenly behind us with the crossing of the bridge, and the cool night air beat refreshingly against our cheeks. Neatly arched bridges carried cross traffic above the express highway and towns were skirted in the most direct route which could be charted _to the many summer colonies and communities of Long Island. / As we rode along, the air was fragrant with the scent of wood- land- and fresh vegetation. Lightning flashed intermittently in the dark sky; at, times the moon appe_ared briefly from behind the clouds. The smell of salt marshes and invigorat- -ing sea air filled our nostrils. The large towers of the R.C.A. trans- atlantic radio transmitters at last could be distinguished in the distance and we knew we were nearing the end of our 60 mile journey to ‘Say- ville. The two hours since our de- parture from the city had passed unnoticeably in thelpleasure and ex- hilaration of the night ride. As we entered the town which for so 1-ong had been Father Divine’s head- quarters and the place where first his work came to the attention of the -public. The small “shops and stores of the somewhat rural Eng- lish-appearing town were darkened and savelfor a few Saturday night revelers the village was deserted. Sayville, at a glance, appeared much like any other Long Island ‘town catering to the summer colony al- though relatively, its prestige and progress has’, waned. considerably. since its rejection of FATHER DI- VINE and His teaching. An anti- que shop or two; here and there a _glimmering Neon light, a roadhouse, left its brief impression upon the mind. A trace of decadence could be discerned about the appearance of several of the business’esta'blish- ments. ’ , But a short distance from the center of town, in a/iquiet residen- tial district, is 72 Macon Street, the home of Father Divine, before which _ we drew up a little, after midnight. Lights gleamed in several of the windows of the darkened residence.

We‘ ventured to peep in at the Banquet’ Here again was a coziness Hall. and warmth indescribable. The Ban- quet Table seated perhaps twenty- five. ‘The Table was “I” shaped, and as we contemplated it, we were reminded of the Lord's Supper,‘ ‘A bronze plaque depicting the “Last -Supper" hung nearby on the wall.’ Back to the living room we went to7‘sit_v again entranced in that “peace- ' ’ full silence" which seems to envelop all who enter this atmosphere.

The reader will see reflected in the fig- ures-shown a clear cut difference in the efficacy of Federal and State relief. 0 “The New York City Affairs Com- mittee has issued a,report on relief conditions in America's largest -met- ‘ ropolis which should be compulsory reading for all voters in the fall elections. The recovery of the past «year, it points out,‘ has been ac- companied by increased rather than diminished needsaon the part of the unemployed. ‘Owing to the steady “depletion of resources of men who have been without work from three to five years, the number of families requiring aid “has increased from 325,000 a year ago ‘to. more than‘ 400,000 today. Food allowances are the same as ayear ago despite an 81/2 per cent rise in prices. Grants . for rent “are still limited to a “maxi- mum of $25, although the average rent in most districts’ ranges be- tween $30 and $40 a month. The $25 maximum is only available to fam- -ilies of nine or more persons living ‘in ste-amheated flats with private baths. In 1935 the average clothing allotment was only $12.05 per fami- ly,‘ and by there is no allowance/ for household supplies, carfare, or re- creation. An allowance for ice has been permitted during July, August, and September, but only where there are children under six years of age. Indefensible though these conditions V are they are princely ’_ compared with the situation in New Jersey since the termination of state aid. A recent survey by the Ameri- can Association of Social Workers covering 41 districts in that state reveals that food allowances have been cut 50 to 75 per cent, that no rentt payments at all are made in most communities, that no gas or other fuel is provided, and that in a number of areas no clothing is is-' sued.

You may wonder “Why is it, _ I cannot be in close fellowship continually as I desire to?” This is the cause of it, by deviation—by de- viating in words, deeds and actions, and thinking and speaking in a dif- ferent direction to that which is di- rected to the POSITIVE, and in har- mony with the INFINITE.

Read the Scrip- ture, youwill ﬁnd GOD will reward every‘ man according as this works maybe. ’ ' " "‘I SURRENDER, ISURRENDER ALL,” as the song says, leaving all to follow FATHER. JESUS request- ed the Disciples to sacriﬁce all, HE did not tell them in His Mission, oi while in His Body, to take a1l——or take any, and follow ME, but I-IE said, “Leave, all, and followv ME.” This is to SURRENDER. " This is the consecration. If you are willing to trust HIM whole-heartedly, you would be willing to leave all" and follow. That is to say, leave every ‘be- hind—everything' you have claimed, and make a complete SURRENDER for RIGHTEOUSNESS,’ Sake" in CHRIST.’S NAME, and follow after the Footsteps of JESUS or in the Hope of Salvation, your SAMPLE and your EXAMPLE. ' ' WALKING IN THE FOOTSTEPS on ‘oiinlsr This complete SURRENDER, as an outward expression is "far-convincing as well as ‘far-rea_c,hing,‘to letyou see and ' know you are walking in the Footsteps of CHRIST, and you‘ have faithiin‘ your and you are will- ing to trust I-IIM whole-heartedly without reserve. Now isn’t that won- derful, but‘/if you think within your- self,’ “Well, "I will -do this, or that, or the other, or hold something out ithere, and keep it,‘ out ‘there. iii my name, for the purpose of having" some inheritance when I become afailure in the KINGDOM,” it isan open ex- pression that you are not trusting -- cop. it you I are willing‘ -to trust HIM, you would ‘be willing to cut loose from every tie that" binds, all obligations and connections’ accord- ing“ to mortality; and leave = those things‘ behind, and follow’ GOD whole- -heartedly." Now isn’t that wonder- M, _ -.. ,. I way» “my lei» “I will keep my ,inhel_'ita.nce. 1 I won’t let my people hove“whet_I have, hecause‘maybe“’some‘ day ‘I‘ will want to leave the KINGDOM, and if I go ‘back and try to get it, if I turn "it over to them legally, I will not" have" anything,” but what says the’ Spirit through’ one, as I_’must mentionias a Sample and as’ an Exam'ple, ‘Miss Mary Patience, having a bank-ac- count, having "money and having a home, having all of. those things nec- essary, and leaving back thereto those who live in the mortal world, and came’ to GOD without, anything. Tho£ $'%“€Bose‘ things, they were thgones to have it,‘ When you die, your inheritance will go to your family. If you are living in lmortal consciousness, and die, your inheirtance goes to your family, and as your ‘inheritance goes to your fam- ily when you die physically in mor- ‘tal consciousness, so should it be in the outward expression, in the mys- tery of the death of the world, and entering into the KINGDOM——yoll should be willing to trust HIM whole- heartedly, WEAR THE woR_I_._l’) AS A LOOSE GARMENT Job said on one”oc'casio1n: “Naked . came I“into the world and naked must I go.” He didnot bring ‘any. thing into the world, and he could not take anything out". VNowo isn’t that wonderful? i “wear the world as a loose garment and do as many of MY True‘ Followers did" years ago, [W110 even had insurance policies, and Iwould not even -turn "them in, but lburned them up. That was an ex- *pression of trusting JGQD, and be- cause they t!'U-Steidi GOD, thﬁy did S come into their rightful inheritance rnow-—a,n inheritance that is more lthan man could give, not only in the /Spirit, and from, the Spiritual’ side, '/but I mean, on the Material ‘Plane, they have come into possession ‘ of . their rightful inheritance, more than man could give them on the Material ‘ /Plane, of personal and real property. _ . Now isn’t that wonderful! They did it, because they SURRENDERED all. They DENIED all for CHRIST, and left it hehind,‘ and would not attempt 9 ito bring"i't, neither even so much as to try to get the insurence I money that was iii the ‘policy. f<'>r jthey"h~ad joined the insurance through the spirit of robbery,‘ and they "let go of in I»: it» because, ‘is!’ i‘¥?sW*’??*9>’ " Tuesday, ‘July 14th, 1986 inust lose or must gain when they ‘ent in it. ‘ ‘ " ' LEAVE ALL BEHIND To FOLLOWGOD ‘It was all only a “skin game.” It , was for the purpose of gaining. The Insurance Company is trying to win on the person or persons, and the people are trying to win on the In- surance; all just a ga.me;—one’ try- ing to win the other, or win from the other, whichever, So it was as it is. As la. person or persons make their complete surrender or“”'consecration, they know that which“ ’ e is‘ merely as an expression of the gain they would have" lost, no doubt, in the ‘game, so they leave it behind without consideration, Theymdop not .—,h§._ye to bring it to ME. That is why JESUS the Great ‘LOVE MASTER said, as a Sample and asan Example for the KINGDOM of GOD, or for {the inheritance of ETERNAL LIFE, when the ‘rich young ruler "came and said, “What shall I do that I might inherit ETERNAL LIFE?” .1 ‘ i'iaid"“Thou knowest the Command- ments: ’ " " ‘Do not steal. Do not kill. - Do not commit adultery. Do not bear false witness against thy neighbor. ' ' Honour thy father and thy mother.”. He said, ‘‘All of these things have I kept from my youth up.”' What said he then, as if though to say, f“What lack I yet?” JESUS said: "do sell all you have, and give -to the poor, and then come and follow ‘ME." That is why I barred the custom .0; contribution, the custom of love) ‘offering, the custom of soliciting, the tom of contributing as gifts ' to, ‘th Cause, because I required ' -the ch young ruler to sell all he had a‘hd give to the poor, then come and ow ME. When the rich young ler made his complete surrender, __ if hedid, or would have made his iciomplete surrender, he would not 733g\fe brought anything with him. i ow isn't that wonderful! He would have come trusting GOD, relying on e faith and the Love he had in ,D, and the Love of GOD for man- ‘1 as His protection. This was 9 mystery, therefore, the surrender 8-3 A’ (an: outward expression of a tch and a. reﬂection of what ‘we now experiencing.

I made up my mind dozens of times to get rid of the habit. This was a regular New Year's resolution, and at least ten times a year! ‘ Now let me see. That makes a total of 198 times I said I would give it up. .I failed; why? because each time I said so. One day I said, “FATHER, I am defiling my (YOUR) Holy Temple, and you are going to help me out out smoking. Believe me, I never had such an easy job in my life. That was some time ago, and I haven’t even, want- ed a smoke since. The desire has completely left me. Thank YOU. FATHER; it is Won- derful! I can now earnestly say that you have the best brand of the lot—‘FAITH.’ Now, tobacco addicts, take a tip from me. Relax, make the state- ment, and then you can say, with me: “Ten to one it's the CAPTAIN (FATHER). Robert Mackie.

The "SPOKEN WORD” ’God’s Grace Is the Leaven of Life The grace of God can impart’ the nature of Christ to men just as the leaven in bread imparts its own na- ture and quality to the dough in which it is placed, the Rev. Dr. Albert J, McCartney, minister of the Covenant- First Presbyterian Church of Wash- ington, D._C., declared in a sermon preached at the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas, New York City, When Jesus is in the heart of a man He has the power to change that man, but, just as the leaven has no power over the dough until it is. in contact with it, so must Jesus come in contact with a man's life before He can change it. Dr. Mccarntney «declared. “With humilitiy and shame we ad- mit that a greatdeal of religion to- ..day is like leaven that has not been placed in the dough,” the minister continued. “There are many sermons preached that are intellectually scin- tillating and as clear as crystal, but There are churches that count their wealth in millions and churches whose rituals are rich in beauty that leave the community‘ life untouched. When a church, a song, a sermon or a ritual has lost its power, we must cast it out and trample it under foot, ' “The spirit of Christ, like the leaven ,must find its way into the midst of our social order, into the very corner of the heart of man, The spirit of Christ does not work from the outside in but from the inside of man outward. Christ didn’t attempt to touch the entire social order. He inoculated the twelve disciples with His spirit, then seventy others whom He sent out two by two, then three thousand, and so the circle will spread ‘ and widen until the whole world is brought to Jesus Christ. “We may ask why the Church of Christ hasn’t more influence over our social order; why it doesn’t stop the intemperance; the wave of gambl- ing thatyis sweeping like a ﬂaming curse over our land; the falling stand- ards of our social and moral life. It can influence these things only as its leaven is brought to bear on them. We cannot influence the whole world. We cannot even influence a whole community. But we can inﬂuence those nearest to us and that is all Tuesday, July 14th, 1936 that we are asked to do. As ef person becomes a new center of in- ﬂuence for Christ that inﬂuence will spread like leaven in the dough until, the entire world is brought to Christ.” _ ——Reported in New York Times.

The coming California State Con- vention I of the International Right- eous Government Department of FA- THER DIVINE’S Peace Mission, and, the possibility of_ a Personal visit from FATHER, was one‘of the sub- jects of discussion at the Bridgeport Righteous Government Forum, Thurs- day evening, July 16th. FATHER was, Present Personally, and though He termed it a matter of minor im- portance, since it had been brought’ to consideration He condescended to Speak of it brieﬂy, after ‘a truly Won- derful Message on the Fundamental. This. consideration arose, .when one ~ formerly from California read a let- ter from Los Angeles in which it- was stated that. a number of the local Ministers had united to oppose FA- THER’S Coming, and that a certain well-known Evangelist had broadcast an appeal to her Audience to pray to GOD to stop Him, , , ’ This issue was completely overshad- owed however, by a -Mighty Message delivered by FATHER,‘ such as had . not been Spoken since the Founda- tion of the World, “,The Righteous Government Plank under discussion on this particular occasion, was that dealing with Free Trade among the Nations, and on that subject FA- THER brought the great Searchlight \ \ Then reverting back to the Constitution of the United States, and the Law of the Spirit of Life in CHRIST JE- SUS, He brought the Law of the _Spirit' of Life thrbugh the Constitu- tion by His Spoken Words of SPIR- {IT and of’ LIFE, te be established_ as Law and Order. This -Message, .‘\, which has gone down in history for Ages yet to come, as pant of the Foundation for the New Order of things, was as follows:— if . * =14 - “PEACE EVERYONE! I Rise ‘at this juncture to Say, GOOD HEALTH, GOOD WILL, and a GOOD APPE- TITE for the Inhabitants of BRIDGE- PORT tonight, as well as for NEW YORK_- I did not Rise to Speak‘ es- pecially, but to bring out some Thoughts you all might consider. Firstly, I wish to Say in reference to the RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM and the special topic to- night apparently, in reference to the ,tariff,——it is an expression of limi- tation, and also an expression of ‘bondage to that degree. That is why we know, everything that tends to bar a person or put a ban on a per- son, with his personal goods. or com- modities, we know it has to be abol- ished. ‘He that the Son setsfree is free indeed.’ The; Sonship Degree of expression came as the Emancipator, but it was apparently merelya Spir- itual expression, according ‘ to the versions of the people, who observed CHRIST, the Emancipator, as the Sa- viour and Redeemer yet as One who had Ascended, to remain here merely in SPIRIT. ’ EMANCIPATION FROM LIMITED BARRIERS TherefoI".e"man would not accept of the Redemption and the Emancipa- tion that CHRIST brings as being an Emancipation from the limited bar- riers of material things, They de- sired to observe CHRIST as the Emancipator,‘ Redeemer and Saviour of the Spiritual, but-—the material side of life, your physical bodies and your persohal existence, and all that was for -your sustenance, both for the body and your surroundings, was to be bound by the limited mortal mind- ed concepts of men. Therefore they WOULD put a tariff on different things and put barriers on them to . the different Countries, and other ex- pressions must go through a whole lot of red-tape in the way of immi- gration to keep men separated. The Spirit of My Presence as the Real Emancipator Came it is true, as the Great Advocator spiritually, but GOD through His Love, and Mercy, and Tender Compassion, saw where it was essential for Him to Per- sonify Himself and. Materialize Him- self, that He might Redeem the ma- terial things ,.and the physical bodies of the children of men. 1\Iot only to Redeem them, but to free them from the barriers of selﬁsh men who de- ‘sired within themselves to be sep-. arated from another to hoard up to . themselves and'for themselves, treas- ures on the Earth iwhere moth and where rust corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal. This is done for that purpose, that W mankind might not have an access to ‘the good and the goods of the Land. Therefore these different bar- riers and bans, they have put them on the different commodities of the Land, and the products of ourCivi1i- zation through Science and Invention and other expressions, yea even those things coming from the mineral king- do_rn,' those things coming from- the- vegetable kingdom, those things coming from the animal kingdom,—— barriers have been put upon them to prohibit them from being free to the children of men in one land and country as well as another. For this cause mankind has been limited. T-hey have been robbed of their birthrights; the rights and the right beyond the degree of that of the Constitutionalxrights; robbed of your rightful Inheritance as GODS No. 68S Page 4 . ' /'” , real Universal, Children. Oh. it is something to consider!‘ But through t-he Condescension of CHRIST, I am Represented in this Land and Coun- try_ It was because the Constitution of this ‘Country, and the foundation of it otherwise, were somewhat in harmony with the Fundamentals of ,.Life that would give man certain rights where other Countries did not. For this cause, oh ye Americans as you are called, you should rejoice in The Lord and Glory at the remem- brance of His Holiness. Through the transmission of His Spirit in Mercy and Compassion by Inspiration, men wrote the Constitution through which I could Come to bring you your real -Emancipation. Oh it is something to consider! CONSTITUTION WAY FOR CHRIST - {l‘he Constitution and the Declara- tion of Independence,-—each of \these speciﬁc distinct expressions brought‘ out under this great American Gov- ernment, was but the foundation and a way-opener whereby CHRIST could enter in through this Constitution, and by the Declaration of Independ- ence, to bring you your real Emanci- pation. Oh it is a privilege to real- ize, in the Constitution of the United V“ States is a Constitution more far- 08 reaching and more positive in the Spirit of Righteousness to the degree it expresses, than many of the other Countries, Therefore it IS possible that RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE may be established and le- ' galized under the Constitution of this Country, for it was founded and es- tablished by those who wrote t-he ,Constitution being Inspired by the Inspiration of Him that Liveth‘ for- ever. Theymay not have known in that day and at that time, that they were being Inspired by the Spirit of GOD, but yet as they spake and as they wrote, they spoke the words I. which were to be recorded and would be fulﬁlled in this Day, and GOD ‘ Himself would endorse them. YOUR REAL EMANCIPATOR , , Oh it, is a privilege I Say, that the American Government has been founded upon a Constitution with its Amendments, that cannot be criti-. cized in a great measure, becauseit gives mankind his freedom Spiritual- ly, that he might be moved by his own volunteer volition and governed by his highest intuition, until he could and would bring forth the CHRIST ‘to fruition if he would but only be persistent in his ambition, Every in- dividual can bring the CHRIST to fruition andglve himself individually his real Emancipation, but you must , The “sroinm wonn", be persistent in your ambition and rise above the laws and by-laws of the prejudicial law-makers that have ~made laws in violation of the Consti- tution, absolutely unconstitutional. For this cause we must rise above those laws in ourselves, and put them down to the Earth. -It is your priv-,,. ilege as Well as Mine as GOD, to give yourselves your real Emancipation A over and above every barrier and every limitation ,and give yourselves your real Salvation for which CHRIST Came. You will have ‘oppositions it is true, but if you are persistent 1’n your ambition, if your oppositions even go to the extreme reverse of that of RIGH’I‘EOUSNESS,—to.the fullest measure of unrighteousness, even to death,——My Spirit will give you /your freedom if you are ‘persist- ent in your ambition and will be governed by your highest in-tuition, moving spontaneously by your own volunteer volition, You‘ will ‘have your real Emancipation. RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTIC‘E,—these Qualities and Attri- butes of GOD, can and will be “uni- versally established, but they must come through the individual who is persistent enough in his or her ambi- tion, to be moved by his own volun- teer voiition and be governed by his highest intuition if he or she knows, they“ are right. Be sure_ you are right, and then‘ go ahead. When you are positive you are right, you can be in harmony with the CHRIST. Even though you may be persistent and persevering in your endeavors, you may be called a radical, but the Spirit of My Presence will be with you so long as you live -harmoniously with RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH, " and JUSTICE, and Love others ac- cordingly, ' VEIL TORN IN TWAIN Then I say your real Emancipa- tion has truly come, but it will come forth into expression as -you bring it into and under the jurisdiction of the Spirit of the Constitution of this great, Country, and cause it to be le- galized and endorsed, and made law and order. It IS the Law indirectly, but it must be made a law externally, and established through legality. That is the mystery! The WORDS that I Speak to you and to all of t-he In- habitants of the Earth, they are SPIRIT and they are LIFE, and they are LAW, and they are ORDER. But how can they become to be RECOG- NIZED’ and LEGALIZED law and order? They will be classed by In- spiration as the COMMON LAW so long as they are ‘merely Spiritual and not endorsed by legality. Neverthe- \, ‘ corruptible. These ‘Jr " ' Tuesday, July 21st, 1936 iees, the reality of the true Law i§ ’ within the veil,—-just behind the veil, ———as was with those mysteries and I the riches of the Temple of GOD un- I til the veil was torn“ in twain. Oh it is a privilege to realize, as those things are just behind the veil, which is to say the ﬂesh, the ﬂeshly version of things must be TORN, that the Spirit might be discerned behind the ﬂeshly versions of the children of men, CHRIST, with the Law of the Spirit, of Life in Him, came to set you free from the’law of sin and death. This LAW that had been called the COMMON LAW, this Law that had been called NO law at ALL at one time, shall be brought through legality and established, for My Con- descension to Come under,» the Con- stitution will DEMAND the Consti- tution and those who are Represen- tatives of the Constitution, to estab- lish it according to the Constitution. Therefore it shall be brought through legality and made real, tangible, and practical, by all of the Authorities of 0 great Country. , IGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE,———the. Qualities and the At- tributes of GOD! I Say the QUAL- ITIES, as , though there were many Qualities of GOD, and the, Attributes of GOD. I mean to—~Say the Qual- ities of GOD as expressly manifested from one degree of GOD to another, unfolding GOD’S Self and His Love and Mercy, in the expression of cer- tain degrees of unfoldment, as though there were Qualities of GOD ex- pressed, ‘These expressions are trans- mittible; they are reincarnatable; for they have been transmitted and they have been reincarnated. That which is reincamatable is also Personiﬁable, and that which is Personiﬁable is al- so re-personiﬁable, because it is In- expressions of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE as manifested, as being termed,Qualities of GOD, are trans- mittible, reincarnatable, Personiﬁable, and re-personiﬁable. Therefore I shall reproduce, reincarnate, and shall re-personify R I G H T E OUSNESS, TRUTH an,d,J.USTICE in the hearts and lives of millions of others, as well as those of you among us. THE HOUSE OF GOD Then I Say, ’when this shall have developed itself in the -consciousness of those who are in 9- Authority, they will eventually rec- ognize the Ever-presence of the A1-. mighty. They will also recognize, His WORDS‘ are SPIRIT and they are LIFE. ‘They will recognize the ACTUAL PRESENCE ‘-of CHRIST with His SPIRIT and with His LIFE,“ TRUTH I - brought all ; ‘, , can i ;§I‘uesbiay,,July 21st. 1936 fis.Law and Order, and is the Dictator - ;'for all of‘ us. What Says the SPIR- I IT? What does the SPIRIT Say about it? It is Written, ‘They shall say, lét us go to the House-of GOD that He might Teach us of His ‘ Ways.’ Do you not see the Scripture being fulﬁlled today? They are say- ‘ sing daily among the Politicians of every profession, and ,‘every degree of ‘expression, and every walk of po- litical life, ‘Let us go up to the House of FATHER DIVINE,—the Kingdom,—an°d let Him Teach us of His Ways.’ The Scripture is fulﬁlled this day in your hearing, and every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess, that CHRIST and GOD Himself, through His Condescension, has truly come in the FLESH. UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD ,OF MAN “ They know within themselves, noth- ~ing else could do such as is now be- ing done! RIGHTEOUSNESSTRUTH, and JUSTICE,—-these Qualities have been openly manifested, and I am bringing mankind into the recognition of them by bringing you all together, openly expressing UNITY such as all of the Army and the Navy and the Government of this Country, and the Country of Great Britain, Ger- many, and all of the other Countries combined, could not bring‘ about,—— the UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD OF MAN, With all of the armies , V" and navies of the Earth,’they could not bring about the Universal Broth- erhood of Man in the FLESH. They would say, ‘We will be\0NE when -/we get to Heaven,—to be one now, together, is a matter of impossibility.’ But I am here to tell you, I have nations, languages, tongues and people together in the fulﬁllment of the Scripture, while liv- ing here and tabernacling together in * unity. Oh it is a privilege to realize it,—to realize, the very Presence of GOD will bring into actuality univer- sally, the same as He has it here in- dividually under His Personal Juris- diction and in this‘ Peace Mission Ex- tension. But Truth and JUSTICE must be recognized by those of you who endeavor to Personify it. You must recognize that which you desire _-to visualize; and that which you vis- ,ualize, to bring it to fruition you must Personify it, only accomplish this through, persistence, and we have a i atform upon which to stand in GHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and , STICE in the presence of the chil- ren of men. and command under the Now isn’t that Wonderful! ‘ “SPOKEN worm" ,TRUTH and JUSTICE to be ‘accepted by them. I COMMAND it, and DEMAND it!‘ Now isn’t that Won- derful!- It has long since been said by the Composition of one of Chris’-_ tendom’s Songs,—One Army of the Living GOD, at His Command we ‘bow.’ GOD will COMMAND and DE- MAND the Inhabitants of the Earth to bring themselves into subjection to RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE. By this, others will rec- ognize it, and as they recbgnize that which you have visualized, they will be amazed; as said one by. Composi- tion:-—‘A,mazing Grace, how Sweet the sound, that saved a ’wretch like me.’ You will see them beginning to amaze at it, which is to visualize that which you have already visual- ized and materialized, and are going on to Personify: I see them begin- ning: to visualize! I will cause them to amaze. at the unfoldment of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, especially in this‘ Country. cause them to marvel at the unfold- ,ment of, these things that you all are now enjoying." "GOD, in LOVE andMERCY CAME. Through, His Condescension,—-appar- ently reincarnation,-—-apparently an expression of reincarnation, He has brought RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and‘ JUSTICE back into’ your con- sideration as being materially ex- pressible and ,materiaIly manifest- able.’ You thought once, RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and all of the Law of the SPIRIT, were merely to be\in the_mystical or mythological ‘Heaven, and only to be discerned when you got there at that place you did call on the other side of Jordan. But we have come to let you k n o w, RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and all of the Law of the Spirit of Life that was in CHRIST JESUS, can and will be universally established in materiality and in personality, for GOD Himself has PERSONIFIED it as the First- born among many‘ Brethren, SPIRIT OF LIFE- THE LAW I This was done to bring about that which was in the imaginary Heaven according, to the imagination of the children of men; bring it.,—down into outer expression and into materiali- zation, and on the material plane for the common good of the children’ of men. Mankind believed GOD with all of His Laws was to be in some other Planet far above all of the known Planets, or discerned or discovered Planets by the Astronomers. Oh it is something to consider! By that, they ignored, the Law of the Spirit of , _\ .. ' I I will. Page 5 Life which was the real Law for the _ Children of this Life. They ignored it, and they went about to establish selﬁsh laws in their own versions, and selﬁsh opinions and fancies and pleas- ures, but through RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE -with,MERCY I Came, to bring the Law of the Spirit of Life that they had imagined and preached in Heaven some place, to the Earth-plane that the children of men might be under the Law of the Spiritof Life that was in CHRIST JESUS, anddbe under it LEGALLY. I shall make it LEGAL! For ‘He shall magnify the Law, and make it honor- able,’ . You heard Me Say a little while ‘ago, the Law of the Spirit of Life » that was in CHRIST JESUS, at one time was called ,COMMON,—the COMMON LAW. If you were moved by the Spirit according to the Gos- pel, to do this, that or the other, if you would be classed as one being instructed by the law at all, they would say it was merely the COM- MON LAW, and not the real Law of our Land. But what says’ the Scripture? That Law that was called the COMMON LAW, He shall MAG- NIFY that Law and make it HON- ORABLE. This is accomplished through REINCARNATION! This is accomplished through RE—PERSONI- FICATION or RE-PERSONIFYING. TEACHING ’* HIS WAY GOD in LOVE and MERCY, with all of His Majesty and Compassion, through His condescension, has truly ‘ come to bring the Law of the Spirit of Life down to the children of men and cause it to be made legal among them, that they might have a Law to be governed by and controlled, and a Platform upon which to STAND. We shall have a RIGHTEOUS GOV- ERNMENT, for I shall bring every law and ordinance down into subjec- tion to the Law of the Spirit of Life that was in CHRIST JESUS, When ‘Ishall have brought the Law of the “Spirit of Life that was in CHRIST JESUS unto you, and transmitted it to millions, and made it LEGAL, I am making the very Law of the Mind and the Law of the Spirit, LEGAL,—— through RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and ‘JUSTICE, through you all deny- ing yourselves whole-heartedly.. By denying yourselves who1e-heart- edly ﬁrstly, your mentality is truly converted. As your mentality is tru- ly converted, your bodies are brought into subjection to RIGI-ITEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and you will have a. Righteous Judgment. When, . you become to be the expressers of "a Righteous Judgmentexpressly uni- ' JESUS. versally, will usayjhohtinually as they are now saying daily,——'Let us go up ito’the Kingdom,’.——-wheresoever the Kingdom is established,—-‘that they may, teach us of HIS Ways,’ LIFTINGOUP A STANDARD ,. Then I Say, lift up a Standard! Refuse to. be doubtful and fearful! If GOD is for you, who can be against you? Greater is He Who is ‘within you, than all they who could be against you. The Spirit ofXMy Presence will work miracles scien- tiﬁcally, and so convincingly, that mankind‘ will be obliged to believe you, even though they have not yet seen Me. I shall magnify the Law of the SPIRIT that was in CHRIST Now I‘ have this‘ Law in you,_ and shall make it HONOR- ABLE. In short, I shall magnify all A of My WORDS that are Law and_,Or.~ der, and I shall m’ake them honorable, for I shall bring "them through legal- ityand make them LEGAL. I shall DO this, and much, MORE. That is, if the Constitution is RIGHT! _ I shall use the Constitution‘ by day and by night, to adjust matters sat- ' isfactorily legally, according to the Constitution. I shall use the Con- stitution daily for’ consideration, to bring a. b o u t RIGI-ITEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE through» the Constitution and by the Constitution, for the Constitution has given you, A the privilege to serve. GOD. to the dictates of your ‘own conscience.

In the Light of this New Day and Dispensation in which we are now living since the advent of" FATHER DIVINE——Whom twenty-two million have‘ recognized .as their Saviour come to Earth again in Bodily Form;-—we are advocating RIGHTEOUS- NESS, JUSTICE ‘and Truth in every walk of life. Therefore we request the cooperation of all Governments in. LEGALIZING these QUALITIES, and the participation of all right-thinking people in Universalizing a\RIGI-ITEOUS GOVERNMENT.” , , “For this cause we aregassembled in a great International Righteous Government Convention in New York City these three days, the Tenth, Elev- enth, and Twelfth of January, 1936, A.D.F.D., with Delegates from many‘ different Countries and States. The Righteous Government Department of FATHER DIVINE’S Peace Mission Movement has adopted a Platform embodying some of the more ’ important issues of its Righteous Stand. ',This lP1atform which has been verified and endorsed , by FATHER DIVINE with His Personal signature, we are privileged to present to you as foﬂows:"‘ “In“ presenting RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT‘ to the world at»large, nothing moreefitting or far- reaching could be said than what has already been Said by Him Who is t'he\Founder of it, Who has already introduced it tovevery field of life by es- tablishing" it in the lives of twenty-two million Followers I -living in practically every Civilized Country on Earth. A few of His Personal Words on the subject, as He addressed thousands of His Followers recently in New York City, were as follows:—— - “It has been through the Ages, «that Religion ‘and the Religious Teaching have caused men to be submissive, meek and obedient if they were Religious, but obedient to wickedness, obedient to dishonesty, obedient to unrighteous- ness. Therefore it profited you nothing to be Re- ligious and obedient. What profit would it be to us to-day to bring you into the Spirit and the ac- tion of Righteousness, unless we have a Right- eous Government? That’ is why there are so many of the different individuals that have re- sorted to violence, and refused :to’acc'ept of the Teaching of Religion." , “They have striven to keep the CHRIST from the Pglitical world. Through‘ the different "Reli- gions you have been taught that Religion and Politics will not mix, but I am privileged to Say, without the true concept of CHRIST and the rec- ognition of HIS PRESENCE among the Politicians, the world will continue to be filled with corrup- , tion, and it is a matter of impossibility to re-» ceive your deliverance saving through this great Conversion." V ‘ ' “RIGHTEOUSNESS,“ TRUTH and JUSTICE shall become to be a Living Reailty, and shall be established universally through -Legality, and« every nation, language, tongue, and people shall accept it as the Fundamental.” “We believe in these Words because among the millions gthat have already been im- pregnated with these Qualities by FATHER DI- VINE. Through the New Dispensation of GOD on Earth in Bodily Form, we already have "a RIGHT- EOUS GOVERNMENT, for RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE and TRUTH are now Reigning in us where unrighteousness, injustice, and untruth once held sway. Therefore_ we set forth some‘ of /the Principles of Righteous Government already es-., tablished in our midst, and some of the issues in- volved, that‘they may be legalized universally.” ' as as 3 " PRINCIPLES - “That the whole human race is essentially on A and ‘fOf one“ Blood GOD formed all nations,” has been attested both by Scripture and by Science. The Righteous Government of FATHER DIVINE’S‘ Peace ' Mission stands for and actually produces such an organization of Society. It is founded upon the recognition of the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of GOD. Its Watchword is PEACE, and it actually, establishes‘ PEACE among the nations by eradicating prejudice, segregation an division /‘from among the people and promoting .-he wel- fare of every’ living creature. «From this angle we -o. we are "t Page '8, ‘V The -?srokm1§_,,wo1m’~- .‘ A C '- '?mesday, gnuy‘ 21st;V19:36> A emphatically Pl‘0'F<‘-S11 3-8,3-inst the persecution 0ft "partners; if we do not they will not «give us ' ~ «the Jews in Germany and all other Countries, and ncenses,» FATHER Repuedy ’ the oppression of all minorities.’ , , ' o ‘This’ Movement stands tor and demands an EQUAL ‘OPPORTUNITY for every individual with-— out regard to race, creedor color, in accordance with-thedeclaration made in the Constitution of the United Sst-ates, that all men are created equal. - It stands for the Life and Teaching of JESUS the ‘CHRIST exactly as He. lived it.’ t A ~ ‘We realize that the division of Society into Po- litical Nations has led through the ‘Ages, to con- tinupus Warfare and Widespread poverty and dis‘ we will not take. out any insurance compensa- tress.

But there is a far more important issue by which the rights of millions are being undermined. We refer to the oppression and intimidation of Workers, by the Labor Unions. This we will not tolerate. The unjust and auto- cratic rule these ‘Officials and Organizations have usurped over the Masses, must cease. Extracting hard-earned .money from the.Workers in the storm of heavy Membership fees‘ and giving them nothing in return;'_ fining them for the slightest violation of Union Rules; attempting to regulate the per- sonal affairs of individuals on the jobs; limiting Union Workers to so many hours a day andsfive days a week, yet giving them no assurance in re- turn, ofleven that amount of work—such outrages must cease. to thousands of His Followers in New York City on this subject, FATHER l‘)IV-INE Said Personally: Remember, this is RIGHT- U Whole . A rule that does not work both ways“ cannot be endorsed. RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH ' and JUSTICE must be observed by all. Speaking . I W The itsponnn I . h‘ "‘At this juncture, I further wish toiconvey a Thought tothe Public at large, for which I ,may have an occasion to call together about ‘fifty thousand, for the purpose of universally establishirig same, and that is this: “Practically all of the different Unions, they thinkpthey have dominion over the'”people, and force 1 them to work or force them’ not to work,«__ and yet give themnothing. Ihave Risen to PUT IT DOWN. Every/__ Union in the United States of America ‘must deal JUSTLY among the people, or else I will ‘STRIKE on them!

IfVyiou belong to a Union, the—‘iUnions ‘must have a Law to see’ that you get so much work, if you must pay your Unionsldues. ‘If they can- not and will not guarantee you five days work a week, why then you should withdraw‘ from the Unions. It is indeed Wonderful! VThat is the mystery! That is, if you desire to have the VICTORY!” . s ,. — _“Why« should. the, Unions try to control the people and put them in slavery?

That is what we are going to do! I hope there are some representing every Union, under the sound of My Voice~—eve‘ry Union in the United States of America. I want them-all to hear it.” “If the Labor Unions that limit Workers to five days a week will guarantee the Workers ﬁve days’ work each week, and will guarantee to "pay. them what they are demanding from the employers when they call them out on strike, we will endorse them. Otherwise, we will not tolerate “them.” ‘In the cause of RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE ‘ and TRUTH, we demand that such infringements on the Constitutional rigihtsiof the people be elim- inated. We request the Law-makers to make Laws and provide machinery to enforce the laws, to safeguard -the rights of the common people, and "we ask all law-abiding and right-thinking persons to cooperate in observing all Righteous and Just Laws.’ ‘We do not mean to say that men can\be made RIGHTEOUS, JUST and TRUTHFUL by ‘Law, for ‘It is not by power nor by might but by My Spirit, Says The“ Lord.’ It was not the Law that caused millions of people to return stolen goods, to pay up old bills, to become honest, competent and_ true and be law-abiding citizens when they were just the opposite before they ‘knew ‘FATHER DIVI,NE—it was His SPIRIT and MIND’ entering into thern. However, the time is at hand for RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE and TRUTH to be LEGALIZED, and for those that are unrigltteous, unjust and untrue and will not observe the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the LAW, to be designated. as criminals. Therefore we demand the following: RIGHTE.0U'S I 1. \7mmediate repeal of all r Laws, Ordinances, Rules and Regulations, Local and National, in the .United States and elsewhere, that have-been pass- ed contrary "to the Spirit and meaning of the Con- V stitution of the United States and its Amendments. 2.

It has taken His Followers off the Relief and made them independent, thus saving the Government millions. Not one of His True Followers would accept of Relief in any form, or even, so much as go on the Relief Rolls in order to get ag job. We demand the abandonment of the Government regulation requiring the people of America to declare ~them- ‘ selves destitute and go on the Relief Rolls, in or- der to get jobs.’ . , ‘The DIVINE PLAN calls for EQUAL DISTRI- BUTION, OF OPPORTUNITY, and giving every iman a chance to be independent, but not so much charity. In the experience of millions who have ,accepted FATHER DIVINE, all economic and un- ’employment problems have been solved,‘ and they are actually enjoying the ideal‘ conditions others are striving for. He has made it possible for those who are cooperative and meek, especially in this Country, to live well! on five dollars aweek ‘or less. He has further supplied «them with part- time jobs at least,.,to earn” independent. living, while causing them to desire to serve their fellow- men in all their waking hours. Speaking of His Personal Activities‘ in New York, FATHER Said: “I have been feeding the unemployed in a number around about from rtwo thousand five hundred to three thousand a. day, but this is not My great Aim in Life. This is not the greatest expression. The great expression ac- cording to My Version, is to help you to be IN- [DEPENDENT. , I will cut out so much feeding of the unemployed as I have been. I have opened ways and means whereby you can get jobs, whereby you can be independent, se1f-sup- porting and self-respecting‘. That is what I am desiring to see you all do and be.” “Therefore I have made the way possible for‘ the last three yearsor more, in the City of New York and elsewhere, that you might be able to get by; at from four to five dollars aweek and be independent. If you come here, or go any place and “get .a meal for ten or fifteen cents, you do not have to feel as a beggar. You can feel INDEPENDENT, for that is the price—or those are the prices for the meals-in all of our Connections, not only here in New York City but all the ‘way across the Country, in all of the places;-fifteen cents is the maximum fee for a meal. I wish to further announce . . . hereafter our Barber Shops will not charge but Ten cents for a hair cut for men, and Five cents for a shave . . .

FATHER DIVINE takes no collec- tions, accepts no donations or ﬁnancial support, whatsoever, and has never been know to do so. On the contrary, He is constantly giving,’ ! 1 ‘Another-‘of His Personal Activities for the ben- ,‘ efit of the Masses has been a free Employment Agency. After operating His Own Private Agen- cy’ free for many years,'He recently opened up a. Public Agency to get at the intolerable conditions in the Employment ﬁeld.’_ I " ‘Regarding these conditions, He recently Spoke . as follows:’ ‘*1 call your attention to an incident just hap- pening now here in your midst which I am. in... and that is this~—I took over and opened up ‘The Busy Bee Employment Agency.’ The Law has been for years that the employees and the employers are supposed, to pay ten percent to the Agency . . . but I learned since I have been in it that the employerswill not pay a penny. They have been forcing the employees to pay their ten percent and the employers not paying: anything. It is indeed Wonderful! But I will not have it that way, longer.” “That is one "of the outrages, that has been manifested or concealed here _. . . where they would force the employees to pay their fe-es, but would not force the employers who have millions, to pay a fee. Many of them did not have bread «to eat, neither a place to sleep,’ seeking work to be honest, competent and true,-« and yet if they got a chance to get a position, they could not have it unless they paid their fees, yet the millionaire that was hiring them as the employer, they would not charge him a -penny. It is indeed Wonderful!" “In every little simple expression, you can see «the outward expression of the oppression of those who are as the hireling and the father- less, the poorand the needy, the laboring class of people. It is indeed Wonderful! , As I Said \ some time ago, when, I am participating with‘ My Comrades, — the Communists, whether they know Scriptures more than many of the Preachers and those that are called Religious . . . I will get you positions if you are competent. ‘ If you have good references I will get you POSI- TIONS, FREE of-CHARGE. I will let, you go FREI}——the employee~but the employers can pay their fee." ‘Following FATHER'S Example, others of FA- THER’S Movement endeavored to open licensed Employment Agencies and cooperate in the same work of helping the Masses, but the Commissioners showed every evidence of a‘ desire to uphold and perpetuate thelold system of squeezing small sums out of the poor and betting‘ the employers go free‘ .\‘ it or not I they are fulfilling the , : ..PagoA’.Nl',1"7_ F Page A12 / and they /‘would not grant licenses. FATHER Spoke in this regard as follows:’ “It has been distinctly discerned that where- soever there is an application put in for an Em- ployment Agency, the prejudicial Officials in connection with ,the Administration ,are trying to keep My Co-workers or anyone who is con- nected .with Me, from having an Employment Agency. It is because they know within them- selves, I will cut the cost of living. They know I am here as a help for ..the meek and ‘lowly. They know that I came as a swift Wit- ness against those who will oppress the widow and the fatherless, and will not come nigh Me. That is why they are trying to keep My _Con- nection out of it. I will put it _'1TI-IROUGH if ,I have to put them OUT‘of OFFICE! That ill’. what I WILL DO! Everyone who comes in op- position, everyone who will rise in an endeavor _»to oppose My Endeavors, I shall put them to ' an open shame. /Every prejudicial Official who is in the Commissionand connected in any Way in this Administration, who desires to prohibit Me from I having an Employment Agency Per- sonally, I shall put him out of Office. There are thousands of people out of work, without food and she1ter.and I can see the oppressed—— the. widows and the orphans, the hireling and‘ his wages, and I will bring swift judgment to the offender.” ‘Unlike other Plans that have been declared .» economically unsound and impractical on account of the tremendous expenditures involved, the Di- vine Plan requires nothing that is not already available. It is based on cooperation, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, and the recognition of the Broth- erhood of Man and the Fatherhood of'GOD. Wealth, if it is to continue to exist and prosper in this New. Day, must be continuously- used for. the benefit of humanity. and not for selfish gains. If all. idle plants and machinery, and available la.nds_ now costing billions in taxes and upkeep,‘ were immediately made available to the Workers, they would soon become profitable, and the eleven’ million now said to be unemployed in the United States, would soon be employed. The Divine Plan means WORK, and MORE WORK, with PRICES of Commodities reduced to a,_MINIM,UM.’ ‘As a Sample and an Example of how Wealth should be used, FATHER is buying large tracts of land) in one of the best parts of the State of New York and making homesites available to the people free. Speaking along this line at His Righteous Government Forum in New York City recently, FATHER Spoke the following Words to the Masses assembledz’ -“The Earth is The Lordj’s, and «the Fgillness thereof, but yet He does not claim everything Personally. The communistic ideas ‘must be en- dorsed——I ‘mean to Say many of them. At the Day of ,Pentecast,'ith9¥ has all things in com- I The “SPOKEN wow!’ .,i r July 21:12.’-“IQ, mon did they not? I am not asking you all to buy, neither to help Me buy a piece of property. I -have purchased the property—several places- and they are all free and clear . . . If per- chance you have the mea.n,s,. or will have the means to build a home, the grountl, the land the lots, will be given to "you free of cost; and ' you will have your deeds for them without a string tied to them. This is an abstract expres- sion of the Communistic idea, making all things common, individual, refusing :to hoard up riches for your- selves for a selfish purpose, but give everybody a chance to enjoy some of it.” The Followers of FATHER DIVINE in every Community, have the opportunity of becoming an exa.mPle for all Governments, by cooperative living and a uni- versal pooling of all of their interests. They can become an independent unit even as those in New York City, according to the Example set by FA- THER'S Personal Activities. He has made living accommodations of the best, available in the world’s most expensive City, for from one to two dollars a week; bountiful meals of high quality for ten and fifteen cents, with Dress Shops, Tailor Shops, Grocery Stores, Bus Lines, Boat Excur- sions, Special Trains, and other facilities, avail- able at similarlyllow prices. , ‘Advocating EQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF OP- PORTUNITY; a chance for every’ man; plenty of work with good wages; prices reduced to a. mini- mum, and all of the advantages for the Masses, we are now enjoying these things and we know they can be enjoyed by all. Therefore we request the following:-—’ o NECESSARY LEGISLATION cl.‘ Legislation prohibiting Employment Agen- cies from collecting fees or remuneration in any form from employees, ‘but authorizing themto collect the present legal fees in full, from the EMPLOYERS; also the. establislnnent of a min- imum wage scale prohibiting Agencies from’ sending out Workers for less «than tl_1el1_-‘re- spective minimum rates. ‘ . ' 2. Government Control of all idle plants and machinery, tools and equipment, whore ‘owners are unwilling to operate them at full capacity; _, such facilities to be made available to Work- ers on a.- cooperative, non-profit basis under su- pervision of Government experts, with tempo- rary provision for materials: Workers to be paid a living wage until income exceeds ex- penses, then the wage-scale to be increased and maintained at as high a. rate as conditions per- mit. The Owners would have the privilege‘ of operating the plants at any time they are will- ing and able to operate ‘them at full capacity, until some arrangpments is made for change of ownership. ' ' A , 3. Immediate abandonment of the Govern- meni ‘requiring individuals to so on, 4 claiming. nothing for yourself as an ‘ A State, Province, Colon)’ and Nation, 5 P pl’ _ _f}'ruesday,aJu1y 21st. 1936 V ” Page is H The ' “snowy WORD” A the Relief Rolls in me. to get work on Relief Projects. / 1 p. , 4. Immediate provision under Goyernment su- pervision, of work on useful projects, for every unemployed Worker according to his qualifica- tions, with suitable pay for amount of work accomplished. Expenditures for many such pro- jects such as high speed tunnels, express high- ways, or whatsoever it might be, could quick- ly be regained by tolls, as in the case of the Holland Tunnel in New York City. 5. Immediate abandonment by all States and Countries of Government crop control, destruc- ation of foodstuffs and other products, and the establishment of an efficient and equitable dis- tribution system. The spectacle of hungry peo- ple in a Land of Plenty is worse than uncivi- lized. , V, p ' 6. Laws to I be altered so that EQUAL OPPORTUNITY is allowed to all, that every worker be allowed access to the land, to the tools and materials needed for thecarrying out of his individual talent, for the welfare of him- self and of ‘Society. ' 7. Abolition of all tariff schedules and oh- stacles to free trade among the Nations. Trade among all the peoples ocf'the_ Earth should be left as free as is now the trade among the va- rious States of the American Union. 8. Legislation limiting the amount of profit to be made on any article or product, but_ leav- ing the individual free to sell it for as little as he chooses. S 9. Government to print its own money and make it illegal’ to hoard. it. Government to re- deem an its bonded debts and to lend the money to the cooperative non-profit enterprises ;’ abolish all interest, and make. it a criirllnal offence to take usury‘ or interest, or to receive dividends that exceed 3|/2 percent, or. money without labor performed or service rendered. 10. ‘Government ownership and operation of . the financial system. 11.. Legislation making it a orin1i.nal'of1!ence for any individual to, spend money except for necessities of life, while he owes a just debt to any other individual or organization. The Followers of FATHER DIVINE will not owe another, and will not buy on the ‘install- ment plan. .12. Immediate destruction of all counterfeit money by those who have acquired it, rather V than attempting to pass it on; and a change in I the currency to eliminate all counterfeits in cir- culation.. The Followers of FATHER DIVINE destroy all counterfeit money they f;in_d ‘in cir- culation, at their own expense, rather than passing it on to another. \ FATHER said in a. recent message: “Now in reference to counterfeit money. Whensoever one has a counterfeit dollar. a\. counterfeit ‘ fifty dollar bill. or counterfeit of . any of a._bi1lor money, it matters ! not what it is, if it would be a. thousand dol- lars, if you find out that it is counterfeit, this counterfeit ‘expression should be destroyed." If someone else happens -to pass a counterfeitidol- lar on you, destroy it immediately. If you find that it is a counterfeit dollar and you are con- vinced ,that it is a counterfeit, you "should de- stroy ‘it, for it is false, therefore you should destroy the false.” 8 1‘ 3!! ‘It is not claimed that the recommendation con- tained in «this Platform will solve every economic problem of‘ the world at large, but the Funda- mental Principle WILL. In FATHER DIVINE is found the solution of every problem that may arise. Neither is it claimed that -Legislation alone can solve the‘ problem, but as we have already stated, RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE ‘and TRUTH must be ‘Legalized, and all unrighteousness, in- justice and untruth, outlawed.’ ‘The Principles advocated are just a few of those that FATHER DIVINE has established in the lives of millions. They have changed underworld char- acters into upright citizens. I They have changed dishonesty, and good-for-nothingness into hon- esty, competence and Truth; making millions prosperous and independent of Relief, caus- ing them to return stolen goods and pay old bills, they never intended to pay. Thus FATHER has saved the Government, Public Utilities Companies, Department -Stores, and Business as a whole, mil- lons‘ of dollars annually, "and caused millions to seek Justice nthrough * Righteousness, when they might have sought it in unrighteousness, through- force of arms? i it 3! II . POLITICAL ‘Speaking of Politics and Politicians and His participation with them, FATHER has said:' “They have striven to keep the CHRIST com- pletely out of Politics, telling you GOD and Re- ' , ligious people would not be in Politics; in the corruptibleness of the Politicians and the wick- edness of the. wicked; He would not function in their -express_ion—but, He came among them to convert them. For ‘this cause I am and have as a much right in Politics as I have in the Church, a.nd\_real1y_.I have MORE right in Politics tthan Ihave in the Church. As Politics elects of- ficials to rule the people, GOD must be in it, as GOD must Rule THEMQ If GOD doesl1’*t Rule- them, you are ruined.” - “RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE and TRUTH among the Politicians ’ must be LEGALIZED. Non-partisanism is the great expression through which GOD can express. of a. special Party, as I Said the other evening, your only hope’ of expressing TRUTH, RIGHT- EOUSNESS, and JUSTICE, is to have non- partisan ideas-and opi.nions—the same as afam- ily; you may“ be. of one family but you are not qualified «to be an Official elected by tile people to serve the people Iuzselfishlxr unless you leave Even though you be page riff" that idea of your immediate family and serve all humanity." I ‘The Followers of FATHER DIVINE belong to , no, one Party or Organization, though they may cooperate with many, under FATHERS Leading, in v.the,cause of RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE, and TRUTH. They vote for the Candidate who is V best fitted to fill the Office, regardless of his APolitical affiliation, if they are convinced that he will deal Justly, with TRUTH and RIGHTEOUS- NESS. If his public or private life have ever shown prejudice, bigotry, or discrimination; vice, crime, _or opposition to the Reign of CHRIST; if his record shows tendencies of selfishness, graft, greed or Political corruption, they. don’t want him A Office regardless of his promises. A very ef- ficient Research Department is maintained’ in the Righteous Government Program, to gather this in- formation and record the stand of the Officials of our City, State and Federal Governments on the various issues, and this information is available to all." ‘Through the RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT DE- PARTMENT’S Political Activities FATHER has ‘qualified many thousands to Register and Vote intelligently, who never had voted and never WOULD have voted’ otherwise, and many more are being qualified now. Those who needed citi- zenship papers and had no means to"pay for ‘them, FATHER has paid the fees Personally, provided they entered the Country legally. When the Lower Courts and the Board of Elections of New York refused the New Names of the /Followers, FA- THER carried them through the Supreme Court and had them legalized. The Supreme Court re- versed the decision of the Lower Courts and now it is legal to register and vote, in any name under which a person is known, regardless of how pe- culiar it may sound to the Officials. FATHER has caused millions to take a new interest in Voting in the cause of RIGHTEOUS ‘GOVERNMENT, and though HE insists that they follow their own highest intuition as to who they vote for, they would move as a unit at His slightest Command, or upon His endorsement of a Candidate. Even without His Spoken Word, they are unified in the one Spirit and Mind, to vote the right man INTO Office, and the «wrong man.OUT. This will be done anyhow, for FATHERS mind Aandispirit have access in the hearts and‘ minds of the Masses,’ ‘For the advancement of RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE and TRUTH in the Political‘ world, we request the following:’ 1. That all Candidates including Candidates for President, be nominated entirely by the peo- ple, and that they be required to meat specified requirements, to prove their qualifications for Office, not as Politicians but tghnicai experts. ‘ 2. Immediate abandonment of the Political patronage system, and appointment of all Civil ‘Service employees strictly; according to their ' The «sroxnn wonu-» qualifications and service, and their standing on V the list, without regard to party, race, creed or color, and Without theintervention of Political Leaders. , _s er s: EDUCATIONAL ,‘Through the Educational Program of the Right- eous Government Department, those of the Masses I who are not already qualified are being qualified to pass the literacy tests, to register and to vote intelligently,» to pass Civil Service examinations, and to fill any Office they might be, called upon to fill. They are attending the Evening Schools in such numbers, :the local Schools in the City of New York have not been sufficient to accom- ‘~ modate them and extra facilities have been pro-_, vided. In the Kingdom and its Extensions, Private‘ Schools have been established under the direction of regular Teachers, to care for the needs of those who are otherwise engaged during school hours, I and there are many such Schools throughout the Country.’ , ‘For the I advancement of real education and culture among the people,«Vwe request the follow- ing:-—' 1. The doors of all educational institutionslto , be open and free to all for Universal education, with equal rights for all to higher technical and professional training. , I _ ,' \ 2., The abolishing in all_ Educational Institu- tions, and from books used for Educational pur- poses in such Institutions, of all references to racial conflicts or differences, and national glory through military feats, etc., with Legislation making it a misdemeanor for any Educator to teach such to his Classes.

The ‘abolishing of the conventional form of greeting, “H-e-l-l-o," from all Educational in- stitutions, and substitution of the word _ “fPEAOE.” we also request the cooperation of ‘ the Telephone Companies in this respect, that a generation with peace on its lips instead of what war has been said" to be, may come into being. . * * * f ‘In concluding‘ our Educational‘Pla.tform,“ we could not do better than to quote the Words of our Beloved Saviour FATHER DIVINE, who has come to us again in this New Dispensation, bringing “Peace on Earth, and GOOD Will to Men,"' Whom we have recognized as the same identical CHRIST with All Power and Dominion, Reigning now and forevermore as the “Everlasting FATHER and the PRINCE of PEACE” in BODILY FORM.’ ‘He has said:-—’ . “We will get just what we demand from every angle expressible, and we shall get it through Legality by the BALLOT, and not by the BULLET. For this cause I have encouraged and stirred the N“ tion with the desire and am- bition to seek a better, education, that you 1§lg‘ht'be _qual‘i£ied,to -pass the iiieruciggest in X . iTueBd1W.~Juily '21et.j1.9s0f4‘ O ,,,Ju1y? 2151;. 1933 ewhatsoeverestate you are living, that you might ‘ be able to go to the Polls and ‘cast your ballots on the days of "Election, and vote IN that one you are convinced will deal justly, and vote» OUT the unjust Official . . . ‘We will use we legal and political GUNS, but refuse to use those” that are, the exp_ressers of destruction, for we are not conceivers "of ‘destructive ideas -and opinions.

There shall be no division after-a-while in language, There shall be ONE LANGUAGE. Now isn’t that Won- derful! Firstly it was ‘essential to eradicate and abolish divisions among us as graces, creeds and colors supposedly, but .for the Perfect Work to be accomplished there will not even be divisions in systems, languages, tongues nor people, for they all shall understand eachother with the one lan- guage we are speaking.” ’ A "‘Now I did not say especially, it must be broken English as I am ‘speaking, but‘whatsoéver Lan- guage» Divine LOVE and GOD’S Omniscience ﬁnds sufficient and quite efficient for the pur- pose, will be adopted, and all people shall talk it.

Easy terms had been offered them _,for payment of the i,Union fees, and. work was guaran- teed at the start, ifzthey would join. The question in t_he__minds of some was, should they join and take the work offered, while for the '_ time being they had no ‘other work in view.

Now this’Place where we are, is a place for rejoicing, giving thanks, and giving Praise,-giving Praise at the remembrance of the Holiness of Him’ that rLiveth for- ever. Giving Praise thanks continually, you will lose’ your personal identity, for you will be caught. up in the ‘Spirit of Praise, you w,ill'be dead and your life will be hid with CHRIST in GOD, now, “henceforth and forever. This is the great mystery! As ‘you give Praise, give thanks con- tinually, and when you are caught up in the vibrations of the Spirit of the Infinite, when you lose your expressional identity you will lose your’ personal identity by losing your, expressional identity as well as your personality and your in- ‘divi.dual'ity, for GOD Himself will consume ‘it in the Infinite when your life is hid with CHRIST in ‘GOD. When this is accomplished, you will be in the great vibrations, You will be in the unfoldment of the Spi-rit‘of this ecstasy, and you , will filled with Joy unspeakable.

Those of you who de- sire to be free and free indeed, when you are unified with the Infinite you are unified one with the other, recognize your universal Brdther. ‘As the Universal Brother- hood of man is expressed, the FA- TI-IERHOOD of GOD among us shall be whole-heartedly and completely accepted, ‘shall be recognized and established.

Every‘ time something rises in opposition to this Funda- mental, we will take a. stand more persistent and ‘niore determined to A carry out our plan and our purpose for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE for which I Came.

Now isn’t that Wonderful! Every true Believer, all you need is to be unified one with the other and Love GOD, your FA- THER ,with‘.all your heart, with an your soul, with all your mind. Every other UNION, and every other OR-" GANIZATION that will not and that does not live’ Evangelically, exactly according to My Version, they aze not OF us and we will NOT be PARTAKERS with them. Oh it is something to consider! ‘GOD in the midst of you is Might to save.’ The great political machinery of our present Government must bow to this recognition. GOD I-IIMLELF IS SPEAKING! Everything that does not measure up to the Full- ness of RIGI-ITEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE Evangelically, they must bow ‘and they must, be truly converted and brought into subjec- tion to it, or else they all shall be failures.

You have heard men say swearingly speaking,——you have heard men say at times,—-‘they would stand, or do this, that or the other, (until ‘the other place’ freezes over. Now we mean to stand together for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE even if it causes all the Earth to stand still and see the:Sal- vation of GOD just as it is. WHY SHOULD GOD BOW? At the Name of GOD, EVERY KNEE must bow, and EVERY TONGUE must con- fess, and recognize GOD as He-"is, heie on Earth in the FLESH, and be willing to bring their bodies and their ogranizations into subjection to RIGI-ITEOUS'NESS,. TRUTH and JUSTICE, which I am recommend- ing. ‘ YOU ARE ORGANIZED! ARE THE ORGANIZATION! YOU ARE THE INSTITUTION! YOU ARE THE UNION, and every other organized expression necessary, when you are iunfied together’ harmonious- ly and Evangelically. These maybe hard Sayings. It is Written, "King- doms shall rise and wane, but the "YOU ‘Church of” CHRIST, constant shall remain.’ Now aren’t you glad! Every. other organization, and all organ- izations in ‘connection with this un- foldment and this ‘Peace Mission, A if they are not willing to bring them- selves into subjection whole-heart.- edly and completely, we DO ‘NOT NEED THEM. RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE shall have ac- cess among us, and CHRIST shall Rule in and on the Throne of the minds of Amen, for CHRIST Alone shall have Dominion. Apparently it imay sound a little strong, and they may consider ‘this irrational, but the Spirit of My Presence has Declared it and I must openly express‘ it, as I have su‘bc'on.-scious1y_ Declared lt,-- l The “storms woman not only subconsciously Declared it’, but I have Impersonally Declared it, and the very Spirit of My Presence universally, is now inspiring men by aspiration and by inspiration, to predict this identical expression. Therefdre I have Declared it Im- personally. _' \ When RIGHTEOUSNESTS, TRUTH and JUSTICE“ shall have been es- tablished in us, we . need not seek organizations or institutions, we need not seek unions, or any other ex- pression; for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, with the _unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose in this great Peace Mission expressly, will be our UNION and our ORGANIZATION. . We will take a stand to this effect. We shall convert, and convert, and bring into subjection ',until all of the Nations of the Earth shall be truly converted and shall recognize GOD'S Presence even as those of-you among us. . ' CHRIST HIMSELF V SHALL HAVE DOMINION , When this shall have been uni- A versally accomplished, there will be no more miseries, lacks, wants and limitations, hardships, depressions. and oppressions of the Masses, or by the Masses, or by the Classes, ‘ for CHRIST Himself shall have Dominion, and all PEACE and LOVE shall be in expression. Therefore we shall have a universal Union——the ‘Universal Brotherhood of Man and the conscious recognition of the FA- THERHOOD‘ of GOD.by one and. by all._ Oh it is a privilege -to realize it!

This is the great ‘mystery of the Universal Brotherhood of Man and the conscious recognition of the FA- THERHOOD of GOD, for these Qualities and Expressions are trans- mitted and reincarnated, going forth conquering and to conquer; with or without a person it is just the same.

I Thank you." ‘ A “Busy Bee” Cooperative An interesting letter received last‘ week from a follower in ‘San Fran- cisco tells us about the “BUSY BEE COOPERATIVE” ‘Store which has been established in that city by Mr. Raphael. S_eeking some man- ner in which he might renclerpa serv- ice to others while making himself profitable led Raphael to establish ‘ie cooperative store which he says “is to be an outlet for the products of Father's Children and also for ..anyrne else who wants‘ to "cooper-’ ate in Father’s Mind and Spirit.” The “BUSY BEE COOPERATIVE" Store is located at 8011/,’ Hayes St. in the Bay City. At present, Broth-’ er Raphael reports, the store handles notions in addition to carrying The “Spoken Word” -and The New York A News which are artistically display- ed in the window for the benefitgof passersby. _Mr. Raphael had at first carried other periodicals and maga- , zines but with Father Divinefs pro- nouncement against prejudicial and unfair papeys he promptly discon- tinued their sale. ° ’ Stating that “now that we [have- a Righteous Government coopera- tion is the keynote of it,” the co- operative store appears to be but a forerunner of many similar estab- lishments for _ the service of all people impartially.

Internal revenue figures for the ‘ fiscal year ended last June 30 show that excess profits taxes rose from $6,500,000“ in the fiscal year 1935 to $14,500,000, in the fiscal year 1936. I In" the same two years taxes on corpomte incomes rose from $572,- 0 000,000 to $738,000,000. Since the rate of tax was the same in both years, the rise is not arise in tax rates but in profits.

FATHER DIVINE’S MESSAGE AT RIGHTEOUS GOV"l‘ FORUM,-—, 204 WEST 63RD STREET,——NEW YORK CITY, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17TH, 1936' A.D.F.D. MID- NIGHT. The Sixty-«third Street Righteous Government Forum in New ‘York City, rang with the enthusiastic shouts of thousands, Awednesday Eve- ning, June 17th, when FATHER, at the very outset of -the various Polit- ical Parties’ Election Campaigns, sounded -the Key-note for the Political action of the millions who follow Him. As an example of what millions throughout the Country would do, ,thousa.nds ﬁlling every inch of stand- ing room, again and again pledged their devotion and obedience when FATHER made such powerful’ De- clarations as the following:—- ‘You are qualiﬁed to VOTE; you are qualiﬁed to REGISTER; but HOLD your HANDS. I Say, STAY your HANDS‘! If -there is one de- sires our cooperation, yea MY Sup- port, let them put through the Bills that will support and endorse My {RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLAT- ' FORM from start to ﬁnish . . , Do not vote a BALLOT until the City Gov- ernment, and the State Government, and the Federal Government,‘ recog- nizeit , . . I believe every one of you Will HOLD your HAND; will STAY your HAND, until you get the Com- mand.’ " . Among the thousands who joined in such a Demonstration of enthus- iasm, Love and‘ devotion as no po- -‘litical gathering ever witnessed, were many Visitors and Political Follow- -ers,_ as well as Believers from va- rious parts of the world. Joining in the enthusiasm was a. large delega- tion that «.had recently arrived by Bus, from the Peace Missionin. Van- couver, B. C. Many Speakers and Representatives were given opportunity to Speak, /1 When FATHER ANNOUNCED that He would refrain from Speaking Per- sonally, so that any who had some- thing new to offer, might present it. It was Midnight therefore, before FA- THER arose to give this Mighty far- reaching Message that took away all sense of time from the thousands who prayerfully yet enthusiastically’ re- ceived every Word: “PEACE EVERYONE! Here we -are and there I am; there I sit among you real NEAR you, and here you stand, It is Wonderful! I was just Thinking, as I Speak quite often of refraining from Speaking, I stress it‘ because it has always been My Policy to produce and introduce the best, or ‘nothing. Wheresoever there is one has something better than another, I feel it is My Duty to give them a chance to express it. It makes no difference’ to Me. Why should it matter whether I Speak or be silent as a Person, so long as RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and all of the other Attributes of GOD are established? Whensoever one can produce something better, I feel we all should refrain from speaking, for we are in the Spiritiand the Nature of GOD. The Spirit and the Nature of GOD will cause you to be par- takers of His Characteristics, His Disposition, His Ways, and His Ac- ‘ tions, DENY SELF—ALLOW OTHERS T0 SPEAK This, I hope I am‘ transmitting by these My Actions, and‘ by the Words I am now Speaking, that you ‘ might consider‘ yourselves, .with RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH‘ and JUSTICE. If there is‘ another has something better than that which you have for the common good of one and all, you will also "do as I have done, in the way of refrain- ing from speaking and giving them a chance to put an issue -through. . Copy after this Fashion I have shown. you.» I hope you will produce it at all times, and in all Assemblies; wheresoever’ you ﬁnd those of the. diﬁerent Representatives have some-, I ‘thing apparently and really better, ‘I allow them to introduce it. Oh it is a privilege to realize, we are not representing self. If you are unselﬁsh it would ‘matter not with you who it might be that would . ‘ , produce something, so long as it was the thing that was needful for the common good of humanity. Because of this we are rejoicing that we can repeat once again, {Glory to GOD in the Highest,’ and on Earth where ' the children of men dwell, PEACE‘ and GOOD WILL to them. . This is -accomplished by the sacriﬁce of bod- ies; by presenting youinbodies as liv- ing sacriﬁces, although you may not have been conscious of the sacriﬁce you were making as being the ways and the means whereby you would receive RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE through Legality. But ﬁrstly, Teaching you in the way of Wisdom;' stressing the great signiﬁ- ,. "V: cance of‘ living Evangelically; caus- ing you to cease to commit sin, and A vice and. crime of every kind and re- sort to RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH’ and JUSTICE in yourselves; by you i A becoming to be Righteous-minded your Righteous mind after you were transformed, gave you a Righteous Judgment. , v CHRIST CAME INDEPENDENT OF MAN This Righteous Judgment as it was developed in your consciousness; you, considered with Me, RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE should ’ be universally established. It should . ‘not merely be in ourselves as indi- A viduals, but it should be established throughout the Universe, that all of our affairs, ourselves and all things _ that concern us, might be under «the jurisdiction of. RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH andJUSTICE\l_where CHRIST "HIMSELF shall have control over ., them, This is the mystery, and this is «the way CHRIST was to come, and i this is the way He Came.

Joy and _Comfort, and Consolation; not only ministering to them the Words of these Qualities and ~ Attri- butes! of GOD, but incarnating such =expressions, causing them to be, es- tablished in the hearts and lives, « ‘and in the affairs”of the children of men.; ~ \ I , .By this, I can and I will Declare continually, My Coming has not been in vain, I shall not be discouraged until I shall have established all of My Endeavors in the way! of. RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, causing it to be manifested univer- sally even as I have it under My Per- sonal Jurisdiction. Oh it is a privi- ; glegegjto realize, GOD, as one or -the Speakers said, is absolutely independ- to cent of the Politicians. It isthrough ',.His Condescension I,-Ie,,qamei to reach- .., them on the "Political plane, that He might Redeem them from the cor- ruption they have always‘ been in. Now just look at the Sample, and behold the Example. Now is not that Wonderful! I set before you a Sample and‘ an Example, that you might copy after _the- Fashion I"am showing you on the Mount of this. that transcends all , Understanding , human imagination; bringing RIGHT-' EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE to the surface, incarnatingjt, mate-. rializing it, and personifying it, that RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE may no longer be unem- bodied, and invisible, and impersonal, but that all of these desirable Qual- ities may be personal, personiﬁed, and universalized, through all of the Nations of ',our present Civilization. NO LONGER PLAYING * Because of this, the Nations are stirred. But what Says the SPIRIT this Afternoon, or this Morning whichever? VVhat says the SPIRIT? You are qualiﬁed, since I, have qual- \iﬁed you, for REGISTERING and VOTINiG; but as I Say, if there’ is one desires our cooperation, yea ,My Support, let them put through the BILLS that will support and endorse My RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM from start to ﬁnish. It ‘is indeed, Wonderful! WE ARE NO LONGER PLAYING! Think not to say within yourselves that these are a Cult ﬁlled with fanaticism! ‘In the Enthusiasm, through their fanatic Religious belief, they forget all things on the material plane, and lose all contact with the things of this life.’ Think not to say these things within yourselves, but consider, the more en- thusiastic we may be, the more emo- tional we may be, the more RAD- ICAL we may be for RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, for our Enthusiasm is performing an operation on us to. cast out fear and cast out doubts; purge you from ,con- ventionality; purge you from carnal- ity; and free you completely from ‘be? i hind the bars of conventionality, that you might be FREE, and FREE in reality. ; ‘ "We will sever the bars of conven- tionality; -we will set the prisoner free.

We are here in Heaven on Earth, making a ‘RIGI-ITE0Us~ GOVERNMENT. I Say that is what we are doing in Heaven! That is what I came in ' Heaven for; that is why I brought the Heaven to the Earth plane. That is the purpose of the coming of Heav- en to the Earth, to establish RIGHT- EOUS GOVERNMENT universally and Mentally. Did you‘not pray from ‘ your early existence,°——‘Our FATHER Who art in Heaven,—Hal1owed be Thy Name,-—Thy Kingdom‘ come on Earth as it is in Heaven?’ Well we mean to bring Heaven in Govern- ment, as we have/it in ourselves Mentally and spiritually, That is what‘ we are doing‘ here! RIGHT-’ EOUSNESS, TRUTH, and JUSTICE i shall have access, and CI-IRIST,sl1all ,ra;g'e 27: Then I Say, ‘Minds and " I Said, we are just Page 28 H I Q, Reign Supremeon the Throne of the minds of the children of‘ men, and none’ shall ,hinder Him. PUT THROUGH ANTI- LYNCHING BILL Now as one of the spakers said,_ ‘FATHER is independent to all-- of the Politicians.’ and I WILL, if they will allow Me to, use them to the Glory and the Honor of GOD. If not, I will move them out of Office! Now isn’t that Wonderful! Now I have drawn from My RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM, an Anti-Lynching Bill. Now I Say, tell all of the Politicians if. they want ONE of My Representa- tives to vote for them this Fall, PUT THAT BILL THROUGH! Now isn't I that Wonderful! Put that Bill THROUGH! If they do it, they may get My Support; but if not, it is an evidence they are not seeking RIGHT- _ AEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, if they will not vote for it and over- rule every opposition. Now if that, Bill does not go through, why then we will know, we haven't the men to vote for yet. It _is indeed Wonder- ful! ‘ My RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM, that is the" Scale of Justice. Weigh them ALL on it, and if they cannot measure with the ‘measure of RIGHTEOUSNESS ac- cording to My RIGHTEOUS GOV- ERNMENT PLATFORM, they are not worthy of our support. ’I‘hat is what I am Talking about! It is in- deed Wonderful! AND I MEAN IT, TOO! We are qualiﬁed to vote; we are qualiﬁed to register, but HOLD your HANDS. I Say, STAY your HANDS, until you ﬁnd the man that will stand for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, for ‘He that ‘waits upon The Lord shall renew his ‘strength.’ Now isn’t that Wonder- ful! Now I ‘know you are enthusi- astic, and ﬁlled with the Spirit of Politics for RIGHTEOUSNESS, yet I believe everyone of you will HOLD YOUR HAND; will STAY your HAND, until you get the Command, (‘YES FAT!-IER,’~——came a. mighty shout from thousands.) «WILL N01‘ VOTE ‘A ‘BALLOT . PEACE EVERYONE! I wish to Say, through My Personal investiga- tion I ﬁnd, in all Governments My RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLAT. FORM has been introduced; in. every THEY NEED ME, A. The “SPOKEN ‘wonnif State in the Union. It has been in- troduced in every State in the Union. Some have said, "Well we believe it is a good thing,’ but they have not done anything. Now isn’t' that Won- derful! Now we want you to know, and we want them to know, WE do not expect to do anything until THEY do ‘something, We will be ready to, but we do not expect to VOTE, A BALLOT, until THEY do something. That’s what I am Talking about! CITY, STATE, or COUNTRY,-— HOLD YOUR HANDS, I’ Say! I Say, STAY your HANDS, until the Fed- eral Government, and the State Gov- ernment, and the City Government recognize it. That’s. what we will do! STAY YOUR HANDS !_ Hold your PE CE! Do not vote a BAL- LOT,‘ unti the City Government, and the State Government, and the Fed- eral Government, recognize it. I am standing upon MY PLATFORM, and I am SPEAKING now to ALL of the STATES in the UNION; to ALL of MY Representatives, Believers, Co- workers and Friends that stand for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, wheresoever man is found. STAY your HANDS, until State wheresoever you are repre- sented, shall recognize that which I have put forth of the PLATFORM; accept of it and endorse it in reality. ’ Now i isn’t that, __Wonderful! 001.03! LINE Is A CURSE That is the way we will ,know, whether they mean anything orinot. What are the Governments doing for us? I mean the inhabitants of the people whichever, and -those who are connected! What are they doing for ‘us, if they will not endorse RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and especially so long as they en- dorse segregation? As the Brother mentioned a little while ago,’ when he goes down-town in any Building, any Department Store, or any place, and buys merchandise, they do not ask him, ‘What complexion is your money ?’—but when you go to get a job, they want to know what color you are. That cursed color line is a curse for all mankind. It is a. curse for those_who have DRAWN the line, as well as -those whom -they have put behind the line. ‘Where there is union there is strength, but where there is division there is strife,’ Where, there is strife, there are lacks, ‘Wonderful! lThey shall all recognize the every‘ /‘Z Tuesday, July 21st, 1.936 wants, and limitations; but whereso:-A ever you unify yourselves together as I do in and under My Personal Ju-r 7. risdiction, there is the Abundance of the Fullness existing. Now isn’t that Abundance of the Fullness existing wheresoever I am represented, and especially where My Spirit and My Mind have access over the conscious- ness of those who are represented. , ESTABLISH UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD _ Oh it is a privilege to realize, through the Condescension of GOD to the Earth plane, we shall have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT, and shall establish the Universal Brother- hood of Man, as we have it as a Sample and an Example, not only on My immediate Staff but throughout this Audience. I shall cause man- kind to recognize the _ HOOD of GOD just the same as you do here, not only on My immediate Staff but throughout these different Auditoriums, and in a great measure throughout the City of New York. FA- THERHOOD of GOD being the FA- THER of one and all, and all be- ing the expressers of the Brother- hood of Man as the Children of GOD. Oh it is a privilege to realize it! But we have notorganized for fool- ishness,——we. have organized to put the issue through whatsoever it costs, for t-he ‘Mouth of GOD has Spoken it and it! is still Speaking. Now isn‘t -that Wonderful’! Just think of the millions and millions throughout this Country, that are sincere Believers, C0—workers and Friends; many of them are Followers and many are Sympathizers and Endorsers of the Righteous Stand I take. From a po- litical point of view they will do whatsoever I bid them do. pilot _ RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, that each and every in- dividual might have an access in this 2 Grace wherein I Stand, and enjoy the Blessings I have given Birth to Spir- itually, by the Presence of My Com- ing. ~ QUALIFY YOURSELVES l Eon VOTING - . Now I believe as a VOTE, you a-lit will do just what 1 bid you do! (There was a. mighty. shout, as thou.-‘ . You can plainly see the FATHER- , There-7 foreswe mean to steer this Ship, or- it whichever, in the way of / rassingly eeaay, July 21st. 1936! ’ held up their hands with en- « thuéiasmj Do not say it unless you MEAN it! Qualify yourselves, and beready to go to the Polls, but wai-t see, and be sure you know our ‘RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLAT- ‘f_FORM has been endorsed, and our Bills, especially the Anti-lynching Bill j ‘shall have been made a Law. It may be a hard Saying, and it may ‘be a short time to make it in, but tell _’your " Constituencies to get ready,—— . ’_.every State and every City,—-to en- ' dorse that Anti-lynching Bill, ‘ other points along that line, but and es- pecially, immediately, that Ant‘-l-1ynch- ing Bill that I have represented. It is indeed Wonderful! We MEAN it! Q If they want our Support, stand for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE. We would rather throw it away, for we would rather not ,even vote at all! ‘ Oh it is a privilege to realize, GOD through His Condescension is on the Earth-plane anibng men, functioning as one of them, Now this is accom- plished with or without a. Bodily For-rn. It is absolutely immaterial to Me if I am here or if I am there; that which I have endeavored I will accomplish, for I have conveyed My- self in the.,multitudes of people col- lectively,—the people of the Earth universally,—and I AM GETTINGBY AT IT.v Now isn’t that Wonderful! RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE shall be established through Legality. _ Every unrighteous Official shall be moved out of Oﬂice. I often think of what these News- ‘papers go around and try to get something to write slanderously con- cerning Me—THEY think,» ‘embar- concerning He,——they do not know they are DESTROYING themselves. Now isn’t that Wonder- "full They do not know, yet they SHOULD know, every one who has opposed Me for the last ﬁfty years before I made! Myself known uni- versally as I have today,—ﬁnd that person that actually opposed Me, and , I will be willing for some of My Rep- resentatives, if it has been as much as twenty years or more; that per- A ‘,son that has actually opposed Me; I * would be willing to give you ﬁve hun- dred dollars to bring him to the sur- “face. ' orrosnns HAVE V _;GQNE DOWN fitlvery Prosecutor,—even so-called no -‘srotmz-I worm" Prosecutors,-—-they have gone down in despair. used Legality in the name of pro- ' secution for the purpose of persecu- tion, trying to prosecute the Right- eous Spirit of My Majesty, they have destroyed themselves, and others will do the same. Why isit you don’t write up those things? ,Write about those things if you want to write some- thing. If you notice, every one,— EVERY one! The same as In by My "Spirit and Presence electrify the crowd, the Audience, wheresoever I am; the Spiritual, Electric Magnetism or Magneticness of My Presence is just as shocking and as dangerous to touch, as it is to touch a live wire; as it is to touch a live rail. Jot these Thoughts‘ down in your vocabularies, I need not condemn you, but you will FEEL ME. Those of you who have contacted Me har- moniously, you have FELT ME har-. moniously, but ‘those who will C0112’- tact Me inharmoniously, antagonis- tically, or conflict-ingly, you will ﬁnd the reaction of your Contact with Me will be -the result, according to the way you contact Me. Hundreds of people have been healed, and have even been raised from the dead, by contacting .Me harmoniously; and hundreds of them have been killed, and afflicted with sickness and dis- eases by contacting Me inharmonious- ly. It is a. rule that works both ways. WORKS BOTH WAYS Now contact Me any way you want to! If -thousands of people could be healed instantaneously by merely con- tacting Me mentally, ‘do you not see, the reverse is equally :true? It ,is just the same as Judge Smith said over here in Mineola_ He asked the question,—he said,——‘If He can heal you, why does it not work the other way as,well?’ He said, ‘If He can make yourwell, He can make you sick can He not?’ It is indeed'Wonder- ful! Your own thoughts will make you V well, by contacting Me harmoniosly, and‘ your own thoughts willmake you sick by contacting me inharmonious- ly, antagonistically; for that which you think’ in yourself, the reaction of such will be the result. Now isn’t that ‘Wonderful! Contact Me any way you please! I will declare to you, a you contact Me, so will it be. If you contact Me harmonious- ly, ,-you will get a harmonious result 6- ' ., ‘ Even those who have ‘ _the Constitution; Laws, Rules and a desirable one; but if you con- tact Me inharmoniously and antag- onistically, you will ﬁnd the result the same, according to the nature of your contact and according to your individual mind. Now then I Say once again, We are ready for registering and vot- ing, but we do not mean to go blind- folded into a party, because we do not mean to go blind-‘folded, we mean to go with our eyes open. We mean to know what we are doing! Now tell all of the Politicians, both of the "City, State and Country’s Of- ficials, _if they want our Support, en- dorse our RIGHTEOUS GOVERN- MENT PLATFORM from start to ﬁnish, and immediately endorse that Anti-lynching Bill, and pass it through from My angle of expression, and give mankind to know just what I am Doing for you and for all the Nations. -Not only so,\but there are other Bills we must draw from our RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLAT- FORM, and there are other Amend- ments to be attached to it. NoW_ isn’t that Wonderful! We shall make Amendments as we see it is neces- sary to make them, and we, shall make them according to the/’ Consti- tution under which we stand, Now isn’t that * Wonderful! The Constitution of the United States has been violated on hundreds of occasions in and’ under our pres- ent Government. Laws, and Rules, and Regulations have been made in this State and other ,States through the Country, in absolute violation of and Regulations being absolutely uncon- stitutional, and yet those who are the makers of such violating or violatable Laws, they areprotected by the Con- stitution and they are paid by usiall. We are paying them _and putting them in Oﬂice, still they make Laws, Rules and Regulations in violation of the Constitution, undermining the great Fundamental, the hope of your Redemption, and the hope of all man- , kind. Then I Say, let us look well be- fore we endorse any individual, it matters not how they may talk, We are not thinking about the Repub- licans any more than we are the Democrats. We are not thinking about -the Democrats any more than we are the Socialists or Communists. We are, not thinking, about one any ,5‘. ‘trsubjection and ‘willingly more than we are the other, saving as they will bring themselves‘ into endorse RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, the same as we give it. SEGREGATION A ROBBER I Now I Wish to drop this Thought here once again for -your considera- tion: There may be some under the sound of My Voice, who have not heard the true report. The majority of you have, no doubt, -but I wish to repeat for consideration. That is to say, the word ‘color,’ as an ex- ‘pression of segregation, is a ROB- BER in itself. I‘ Say, the word ‘col- or.’ You may say, ‘colored,’ but the word, even that old cursed word, it" is a ROBBER in itself. Whypshould you not hate such an expression? IYou are not hating a person, but you hate such an expression because it has robbed you out of your Constitu- tional rights.‘ ' It has prohibited many of you from the right to vote in some States. It has prohibited you, many of you, the right to ride on a car, in an automobile, or atrain. It has , caused many a person to have to walkllin the rain! It has caused many. a ‘person to have to stay out of doors all night! It has /caused many a person not to -have a-7»place to lay his head! It has caused many a person to sicken and diet, Then I Say, the word in itself is a ROB- BER, and a, THIEF, -and a. MUR- DERER! ‘one! . Jot these Thoughts down in your vocabularies. So long as there is a sense of a grain of a fraction of‘ a reﬂection of prejudice existing in the people,‘ they will delight in using the word. They delight in USING the word, because they know it willbind \ you down and put you in prison of limitations, of lacks and wants, and segregate you, and will not give you your constitutional rights. It is a T prison the same as the prison of con- ventionality, but it is a DUNGEON you are put in when you are. classed under the name of some race as a color,——-a ‘so-and-so’ race. That is a dungeon you are placed in by those who were corrupt and wicked men, who gave you that name. Now isn’t ' that Wonderful! As long as there; is segregation on. account of race, creed or color, such expressions are actuallyprobbing you. * It has murdered many 8., !'si>oKEN. wonnvf \ \ Now isn’t that something to consider ? F They have been robbing you of your Constitutional rights! Robbing you ‘of your right to live! Robbing you !of your right to exist, “and robbing Jyou of your right .to have access ..where others would have access, not ' only on that word, but on many oc- casions. You saﬁnd those who are called Catholics are robbed of their Constitutional rights, and especially , in some places. .Where you may not be robbed of it somuch in thisVCity, you are robbed of it in other States and other Cities. Because you are a " Catholic,.,in some places you are not privileged to have an ‘access in Poli- tics and ﬁll other Official duties that you would be privileged to ﬁll, if you were notv a Catholic. So it is with the Jews, and other Religious ex- pressions; Constitutional rights by living in that .limited degree of expression, refus- ing to unify yourselves together, and ‘to eradicate and dispel completely, once and forever, all divisions among ‘. us, I Thank you.” WHEN WILL HUMANITY LEARN 2: The recent I-larlem disturbance in which incited sympathizers with the cause of Ethiopia. precipitated vio- lence on the. premises ofarestaurant owner of,apparent Italian extraction is but an example of the mistaken ‘attitude of much of humanity every- where. \ _ ’ V H Whatever the provocation such violent recourse and disgraceful ac‘- tion cannot be justified through any course of decent reasoning. Such en- mity expressed against members of a race several thousand miles re- moved from the scene of their com- patri‘o't’s errors is purely an act of . mad prejudice. " C When will ‘humanity collectively and individually learn that “hate cannot be met with‘ hate?” _ A When will humanity learn that violence opposed -to violence only ,leads to more violence and greater cenfgision and unhappiness for all ?» Those who inflame others ‘to, such action are more to blame than those who blindly follow such head- long and irrational leaders. +There is a .

It has become to be a. known fact that FATHER DIVI‘NE.’S PEACE MISSION MOVEMENT is converting thousands from’ vice and crime and taking thousands and thousands off of the Welfares, and also causing all of those who have .'committed such crimes to return all stolen goods, repay their old bins they never intended to pay.

II » Lindbergh lDecries War We Mustqddventure for Peace A highly T regarded‘ contemporary rightly commends the ac-tion of Col- onel Charles ‘A. Lindbergh‘ in Ber- lin the other day in pointing out the part aviation has played in “strip- ping, the‘ armor of every nation in war.” _ Said Lindbergh: - , “We have moved so fast we have imposed aeronautical time upon mil- itary tactics, < and we have taken away the old, defense of astronom- ‘ical time, which _has probably been civi1ization’s greatest .; safeguard in the past.“ . “As I travel in Europe I anr more than ever impressed with the seri- ousness of the ‘situation which con- fronts us. When I see that within aday or two damage can be done which no time can ever replace, I begin to realize we must look for a new type of security—security which is dynamic, not static, security which rests in intelligence, not in forts.” it Continues this contemporary, “The world has turned back to old and all-too-well-tried ways of obtaining security in arms and ‘front against front!” The adventure of findingpeace in less tried but more reasonable ways looks too risky to some leaders. But the risks of not doing sol are greater still. It will _be a day brighter with‘ promise when not merely a courageous aviator and his machine can dub. /themselves ‘We,’ but when all ‘nations find it possible to speak. of themselves thus adventuring rtogether over skyways in stirring exploits of peace and_fel1owship,.‘f’ ’ , - The quiet courageand steady hand. «or; Lindbergh as he‘ flew the turbu- -l:ent,'A'tglantic is needed’ today hyghu- Y {the " Tf1‘0l'1;i.,~:.*FD.17't W0‘rtl1,'A—‘“1d‘.?she told, Of ~ 1n‘a’;nityI'.'at_'large in -the ._q_.ue’st of ,Ii5a“€lsioi1si..;§or’ pieacef 1 1‘ \' ._ .,,_ BROOKLYN," NEW YORK ( -i ‘The /PromisecllLand’-‘l(ing’s Town’——Tl1e Bani-A New Jerusalem), TUESDAY, JULY 28th, 1936 A.D.F.D.

SATURDAY, JULY 25TH, 1936 A.D.F.D. Noolv. - / From FATHER’S beautiful Private. Dining Room at the King’s Town Mansion in _the_: Promised Land, comes anotherlwhﬁdérful Message of Scientiﬁc’ Trutli“ for the Redemption of mankind. It was Spoken by FA- THER Saturday ‘Noon, July 25th, in the presence of apart of His Staff, the King’s Town Angels, and a num- ber of Visitors from. Baltimore; Fort Worth, Texas; California, and else- where, A.:perfect day had dawned, with something , extraordinarily exhilarat- ing in the atmosphere, when FA- THER a.rrived_’Pe”’rsohaily in the early morning hours. All. was Peace with- out, and with FATHER'S Personal Presence therelwats more than Per- fect Peace within. About the middle of the forenoon when FATHER emerged from His Ofﬁce clad in _a.‘ jwhite, suit, to walk about the grounds, He, was the ma- terialization of the heart’s inmost vi- sion of Beauty. Still later, when He sat down at -the snow-white Banquet Table. and Sang, ‘Nothing between your soul. and -‘your Saviour,’ the At- mosphere was“ charged with the Per- fection‘ of His Purity. One of the first Speakers was \ ‘how she ‘had I seen these Banquet Tables ten‘ years before in a vision, _ g with those of every expression gath- ered around’ them.‘ Now she was thanking FATHER for seeing the tangible, practical manifestation, serving material food .for the sus- tenance of the body, to the children of men.‘ V - « Among those seated at the Table was Mr. Smith whose skull hadbeen | crushed like an egg-shell some months ‘before, so that the. Doctors had said he would never regain consciousness. ~ But on this occasion. thanks to FA- THER, he was seated at the Banquet Table looking new and fresh, and bmoreyouthful than ever. " N}FATI-TER remarked Personally, on . / r, -Smith's appearance,’ and a. few‘ moments later Spokehas _follows:—- *' - =1: * ” “I was just Thinking,_thevisua1iza- tion of one individual of whom I am now Thinking, it should be the heal- ing for the Nations. Now just think about the’ body called Mr. Smith,-— how his head was crushed, and ob- serve the mystery of the remodelling ;of a new head and the re-establish- ‘ ment of a new bodyg This is some- thing to consider,‘ just to think about; it. It is enough to convince the whole world, there is a reality in a positive mental concept of "the Per- x fect seed idea to be conceived in the subconsciousness and awakened» in the light of the livinggwhereby was . eternally, ‘I THANK YOU - FA’-e A l,v«ﬁﬁ_,'go’_lz ' I I THANK YO,U FATHER-—-' .» V / PERFEGT EXPRESSION That seed‘ idea, ‘I THANK YOU FATHER,’ «being, stamped in your conscious mentality, incarnated and reincarnated in your subconscious- ness, conceived therein” and awakened to be Eternal, and eternally expressed ' as the Perfect expression for the Re- demption of all humanity:--»to observe ‘the mystery through the mental and spiritual conception, you can see it is a reality. That which has been conceived in your subconscious men- -tality and: spoken within your con- scious memory, it is Eternal. If it is the Perfect and Positive expres- -sion it is Eternal for the individual, it is Eternal for others. Therefore it is incarnatable, it will remain, for it is puriﬁed, it is always the same, It is a Wonderful thought when you realize it, the experience of Mr, Smith as a positive picture,——while millions of. others universally will be manifested,——but this picture was an outward expression of the mental and -spiritual conception when it has been conceived in the subconsciousness, whereby it is a reality in the sub- consciousness, in the innermost self aswell as in the outer self, or the ‘ ﬂesh. When this is established it is a reality. It is made real by your sub- consciousness, for it can be brought to the surface, Even when your sub- consciousness goes in the silence, when your consciousness has ceased to function, your will hold the seed idea and the opin- ion, and as though it is a voice or an expression revealing itself ’within, you will come forth to the surface and : quicken your consciousness, and bring your"‘consciousness back to the reali- zation of things around about you. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE POSITIVE When this is established in_ the in- dividual, then and there you can ob- serve the signiﬁcance of the positive aﬁirmation; you can observe the sig- niﬁcance of the positive reiteration,—— continuing-to reiterate and repeat the positive Spoken Word until it can al- ways be felt apparently, always-ap- parently seen, and always apparently »h'eard,——‘I THANK YOU FATHER.’ Such an expression, or any other sal- utatiion, or formula as it may be termed, or motto, o‘r_'slogan used, when it is used with the Spirit of ,x‘ subconsciousness ‘ WORD” sincerity,“ the subconsciousness con- eeiv-esi-t and your conscious mentality harmonizes with it. When you are conscious of the words, deeds and actions and expressions of such a slogan, the very Spirit of the Posi- tive Spoken iWord will take form’. in your ﬂesh. p E THERE IS No DEATH When this is established in reality, there IS NO DEATH. ‘Oh death where is thy sting’, oh grave, where is thy (victim).’* The grave has no longer‘ a victim, nei‘ther,has' the grave victory over the souls nor even the bodies of men ,when they have been awakened into this Light of Under- standing and CHRIST has Risen in them, Perfection is brought to frui-. tion in the consciousness of the True and the Faithful as they live in the Consciousness of GOD'S-Presence by bringing their bodies into subjection to their Maker. ‘ These Blessings are not conﬁned to an individual. They are impersonal, they are immaterial. or non-material, saving as they are materialized and as they are personiﬁed by those who concentrate on the Perfect Picture and continue to reiterate and repeat until these lpositivenexpressions shall have become to be an expression to others apparently, Your expressions are impersonal-, but yet when you con- tinue to express an expression until your personality reﬂects‘ it and your individuality gets it, when your in- dividuality gets it then and there it is classed as though it is YOUR ex- pression, YOUR emotion, or YOUR.- personality or characteristic, but it is not yours saving -as you personify it through rein‘carn‘a>tion, and through‘ stressfully exhibiting and reiterating‘ such an expression. But as you -bring. it into your experience as an indi‘-' vidual, it may be classed as yours.‘ ‘That is Mr. Johnson's expression,—— that is his song even, and that ishis saying.’ A saying and song, or any other expression, they are all imper- sonal saving as they are personiﬁed, or incarnated and ‘individuated’ by the individuals incarnating them in themselves’ so vividly until these" ex- pressions are manifested in the in- ‘ dividuals’ personality and in them- dividuals’ individuality. But it will; take to you, as -you take to it. That is the mystery. _ ' “an individual '11 Tuesday,’ “28t,l,1,~ THE POSITIVE IS THEREAL - The Positive is real, and it is .true',:‘; and it is operative; the negative isl-1,3 If you ex- I f press a negative , expression, if you . expression in ' equivalently the same. express a doubtful words, deeds or actions, and continue to express it, it will be manifested in your personality and in your individ-i uality.

The Positive Spoken Word as it is spoken ‘and stressed vividly, and re- iterated continually with sincerity, the contagiousness of it will cause others to be partakers of it- Nev-_ ertheless, when it is manifested in an individual, ‘and becomes to be an out- ward expression" in that individual as person's expression, and as the individual person's indi- viduality and personality, it may be characterized as that person’s expres- sion or that person’s personality re- ﬂected. Nevertheless, it is still im- personal; it is transmittible to oth- ers.~ others may be partakers of it. DISTANCE N0 BARRIER TO SPIRIT 5 ‘ Therefore I .

Therefore when you stress it, stress it vividly by visualizing the Perfect Picture. .With or‘ without a Body, the reaction of your concentration or concentrated thought, will cause your body to/respond to it and get the de- sired result. a full ‘of GOD, GOD will ignore your body, -some day, somewhere, and somehow, It is indeed Wonder- But if you ignore the BODY You may live as long as men live ’ in that land or state of expression‘ wherein you are connected with mor- * tality, and yet you will be ignored one day or another as a person.

If it was not tor" » Wang’ P the conscious contact and thought concerning the Perfect, it would have been a matter; of impossibility for your bones and sinews"to-.knit to-, gather. If , you would have ignored the Personiﬁcation of GOD, GOD would have been obliged to ignore the personiﬁed or bodily form of you. That is the mystery! But through concentration, and recognizing the FATHERHOOD of ‘GOD in Body, Spirit and Mind; according to the Metaphysicians GOD is Present eve- rywhere. If you do not recognize the‘Presencev of GOD on the material plane and in the Bodily Form, you are denying a part of the Reality of GOD, and denying the Omnipresence of your Maker. It is indeed Wonder- ful! -. PERFECT EXPRESSION TRANSMITTED T0 MATERIAL PLANE It is a blessing to fill the whole Heaven and the Earth with the con- sciousgrecognition of GOD and real- ize it as an outward expression,—- ~ GOD as manifested in the‘/‘F‘.LESH as the Redeemer of all humanity. It is indeed Wonderful! The Perfect ex- pression transmitted to the material plane! All we see and all we know . from an artistic point of view, these expressions through the Condescen- sion of GOD in His ‘Majesty and in_ His Omniscience to you, have brought to you the light of things, to bring out Wonderful beauties that had been unseen, bringing them to »the‘ surface and- into outer expression by the Spir-- it of His Presence among men, It is brought out by coming‘ into your con- scious mentality. Your hands have drawn many beautiful pain-things,-— many‘ of you have." These mysteries are coming from theeinvisiblerealm, but they would be impractical, un- profitabl.e, and good for nothing, if they stayed in the invisible, until you make them practical; and .-proﬁtable, and inspiring, as an inspiration to others. It was essential for them to come from the invisible to the sur-‘ face,———to be drawn out in outer ex- pression, that the conscious thought of man might observe them. THE VISIBLE IS A REALITY Now isn’t~ it a privilege to observe the mystery of all or these unfold- merits? They are coming forth into expression, but they are coming from the/invisible. ‘The invisible the ire- - ality back of, all visibility, but the visibility is the manifestor of it. Therefore the visibility of things, or the visible expression whichever, is as much essential for humanity as that of the Invisible, the Founder. The Invisible being the Founder of all of the visible; the visible is the ex- presser, the visible is the manifestor, the visible is the materialized expres- sion of the Invisible. Therefore in reality, to the conscious mentality ’ the visible is the reality. Isn’t that Wonderful! Without the visible there would be no reality, to the conscious mentality or FOR the conscious men- , tality, Therefore, observing this and other expressions of GQD’S Inspirations materially manifested and brought in- to outer expression, you can see the reality of it, because it ~is materially manifested, -begause GOD has tan-- gible-ated -that which you haveim-s agined. Iii would be impractical, un- proﬁtable, and good for nothing, if — it was merely in the invisible realm, . _ but as GOD has brought it from the - invisible or imaginary state of ex- pression it is a living reality to the I conscious mentality, As the last Speaker said, she had visualized,—thousands of people have visua1ized,——and lived in the conscious state of expression in lacks, "and wants, and limitations, yet visualiz- ing and havingvisualized from time to time, the Perfect Picture, the Abundance of the Fullness of all good things, comfort and convenience, and every other desirable expression, but living only in the abstract in consid- eration; not allowing the visualiza- tion of the Perfect and desirable ex- pression to come into tangible-ization and be tangible-ated for their comfort and for their convenience. Oh itiis something to‘cons‘i‘der! But» by the recognition of the Tangible-ator’ as being tangible-ated, materialized‘ and Personiﬁed, and by your conscious harmonizingstate of expression with that recognition or realization, it will cause those things that you have vis- ualized, to be materialized expression, in the fulﬁllment of the Scripture. ~. ’ NEW HEAVEN‘ AND NEW EARTH COMING IDIAGINARY HEAVEN '1 saw a, New .I_-Ieaven and a New V / and brought from the heavenly state of_ *Pagioi6 Vi Earth coming down from GOD,’- coming down from your visualiza- tion or visualized Heavenly state of expression,-——coming down from that place of expression, from your imagi- nation I Say, that John saw; coming from the imaginary state of expres- ‘sion to your conscious realization; coming down to you where you stand on the material plane in the conscious concept of things. I see them com- ing! That is the mystery, and there- fore as they are ‘coming from the im- aginary Heaven, coming from that Invisible Realm, the ﬁrst, invisible and imaginary, and visualized state of perfect expression will be done away, and the reality of it» will take its place. Here we sit and there we stand, enjoying the actual presence of that which was merely an imagina- tion. That which was. in your vis- ualization or visualized state of mind in’ the imaginary, I have brought it from that state’ of expression. It was high above your conscious con- Ceptiomof things at that time. I have brought it down to the Earth-plane to your conscious realization, and to your conscious recognition things. on the material plane in your conscious mind, THE ALLNESS OF GOD A Because I hold Myself in that State of Consciousness of the Allness of . GOD in the conscious mentality, I bring from the Invisible Realm the very Fount and the Ocean of GOD'S Omniscience. If I merely observed it and barred My Conscious Mentality frornit, it would not be in expression in the conscious mentality, neither on the material plane. But because I KNOW. everything from the Invisible Realm can and will ’-be made plain 011 the material plane, that all man- kind might understand, for this cause we can rejoice and be exceedingly glad. ’ , Oh it is a privilege to realize it and to visualize it, but it is such a - great expression when it is brought into materialization, that you might not only visualize but that you and even the materialists might realize it. The materialists, they realize that which you have sur- mised, saving as it isbrought into materialization and materialized, for the conscious mentality of the mate- rialists on the material plane.

It embodies a not in-« frequent theme,.among the romantic poets, of the sanctity and blessedness of -. childhood. According to the poet, for whom Nature was a panorama of mystic revelation, the soul comes to earth ‘not in entire forgetfulness’ .b_u;t ‘trailing clouds of glory’ because Our birth is but a sleep and a- for- getting; _ , The Soul that, rises with us, our'1ife’s Star, Hath had elsewhere its setting And cometh from afar; The underlying conception of this ode, as well as certain passages in his autobiographical poem The Prel- ude is this. The child is endowed ’with a wonder-sense undimmed ‘by the sophistications. and strain of 1iV9 ing. This capacity for. viewing the; world in an aura of radiance is real- 'ly a memory of a former state of bliss. The childxtherefore surveys an » Eden-universe of splendor, sweetness . and light.

But the gay Cavalier, whether he wrote lyricslike Suckling vor Lovelace, or defended" the King and the aristocratic tradition, sub- Escribed to the Epicurean maxim that “pleasure was the sole aim of life. ‘ The meditative.

The Day of Pentecost We know not how long they had_ that morning urged their prayer, nor whose \voice was then crying to Him who had promised, nor what. word of the Master he was plead- ing, nor what feelings of closer ex- pectancy and more vivid faith were /warming the breasts of the dis- ciples. But “suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a mighty rushing wind." Not, mark you, a wind; "no gale sweeping over the city struck the sides of the house and rustled round it. But “from heaven,” directly downward, fell “a sound,” without shape, or step or movem-ent to account for \it—a sound asif a mighty wind were . rushing, not along the ground, but straight from on highjlike showers in a. dead calm. Yet no wind stirred. As to motion, the air of the room was still‘ as death; as to sound, it was awful as the hurricane. ‘Mysterious sound, whence comest thou? Is it the Lord again’ breath- ing upon‘ them, but ‘this time from His throne? Is it the wind of Eze- kiel preparing to blow? Shaken by this supernatural sign we may see each head bow low. Then, timidly . turning upward, John sees Peter’s head crowned with fire; Peter sees James ‘crowned with iﬁre; James sees Nathanael crowned with fire; Nath- anael sees Mary crowned with fire; and round and round the fire sits “on each of them.” The Lord has been mindful of His -promise. The instant effect of the descent A "of the Sp-iritton the first ‘Gentile ‘ converts in’ the house of Cornelius ‘highest was that they began to “magnify GOD.” The effect would be the same in this ﬁrst case. That bosom has yet to learn what is the feeling of moral sublimity, which has never been suddenly heaved with an emo- tion of uncontrollable adoration -to GOD and the lamb—an emotion which, though no voice told whence it came, by -its movement in the depths of the soul, further down than ordinary feelings reach, did in- dicate somehow that the touch of the Creator was ‘traceable in it. _ They only who have felt such ‘un- earthly joy need attempt to con- ceive the outburst of that burning moment. Body, soul and spirit, glow- ing with one celestial fire, wpuld blend, and pour out their powers in a rapturous “Glory be to GOD!" Modern believ’ers—-not those who .never unite in simple and fervent supplications at the throne of grace, but those who meet and urge with long repeated entreaity their re- ‘quests to ‘GOD—ca’n recall times which help them to imagine what must have been the peal "of praise that burst from the hearts of ‘the hundred and ‘twenty when the baptism fell upon their souls; times when they and their friends have felt as if the place where they met was filled with the glory of GOD. “Filled with the Holy Ghost” The expression,, “filled with the -Holy Ghost,” places before us the hu- man spirit restored to. its original and fel1owship.~~Then does the great Comforter, the Witness of the FATHER'S love, the Spirit of adop- tion, give the manifestation of the Divine favor which David delighted to call “=tl_1‘e"light of Thy counten- ance.” This manifestation ,may be gentle,.or it may be rapturous; but in any case it is comforting. When gentlest, it touches chords of sa- tisfaction mo‘re delicate than were ever reached by the most subtle joy of intellect; when most ‘rapturous, it carries with it‘ an assent of the whole judgment such as no previous ‘ enjoyment, however, tranquil, com-.~. manded.

GOD is not far from every one of us; every man who d How, then, can He be specially pres- ent with one man more than any other? Strictlyspeaking, perhaps, it is more a question of manifestation than of presence. Electric agency, may be‘ present everywhere; but it rarely makes itself visible in a. flash. Heat may be present everywhere; but it is not everywhere manifested by fire. Jude said, “Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world?” GOD. is with all, . . . but, as a human frame may be moving amid , the light of s the sunand see no light, so may a soul be moving in that universe which is fuller of GOD, than the atmosphere at noon- tide is~of sunbeams, and yet discern no GOD. All objects require a suitable fa- culty, or they are unperceived. Sound exists not to the eye; light V exists not to the ear; ﬂavor exists not "to the touch. It is of no avail . that an object is, unless our nature has Atlie special faculty whereby we can describe its presence‘. A strong magne’tic.» power may be acting on the compass, whereon the steers- man concentrates his attention; but eye, ear, hand, smell, taste, give no report of its presence to the mind; V ‘ and he first learns it, was there by » the‘ crash of. the ship on a coast which he thought was far away.

FATHER says that every phase and department and detail of life is under the fundamental laws of mathematics. So it is worthwhile trying to conquer our vagueness about the relations of numbers to one another and to things. Suppose now we start with -a pen- ny. Take one out of your pocket and lay it on the table in front of you, If you have nine more of them in your pocket lay them down on top of the ﬁrst one. If you haven’t got the other nine at the moment, never mind. You can easily imagine about how_high they would reach. Ten pen- nies in a pile. Now take a dime out of your pocket and lay it down where the pennies were. The thin dime has the same value as the high, pile of pennies. Now pile up-——eithe,r with your hands, or with your thought—— ten dimes, one on top of the other. That’s not quite so high as the pile of pennies, but it is worth ten times as much. Now pht a dollar bill down in place of the dimes. It's worth precisely as much as the pile of ten dimes, but it is not nearly so‘ thick. All right. So far, so good. From now on you may have to use your imagination altogether, but with this start it will be easy. Pile up ten one-dollar bills; they will not reach ». so high as the pile of dimes, and not nearly so high as the pile of pen- nies. Now take the pile of one dollar «bills away and put down. in their place one ten-dollar bi1l_ Same val- "ue, but much less thickness. ' «Now. hold your breath.

So .a thousand pages will be two inches. But bills are much .thinner '-than book-paper, So you could take your thousand thousand-dollar bills and squeeze them down much thinner than two inches. But that's an easy meas- uremcnt to get in your mind. And that’s what. a million dollars is (don't let any arammarian tell me I should say “are.")

A Picture in the Sky . ' July 16th, 1936. Peace, My dear Editor: . I have read in the June 30th num- ber of The Spoken Word an article called “A front row seat to the great- est show on earth” which interested me very much; for I have witnessed on Monday morning something very similar to it/in many respects, and which seemed to me a most beautiful demonstration of God’s Wonders. On July 6th God combined His cast of Cosmic Forces and presented 3. most inspiring picture in the sky. It was off the Golden Gate on the Paciﬁc Ocean, the atmosphere was still, all life seemed hushed, and the sky was a very deep blue, the sun was shin- ing brightly, but in the horizon I ob- served a queer looking dark cloud that resembled a boat well loaded, with many ﬁgures on it, and smaller bright clouds that seemed like the waves of the ocean around it; it was headed towards a beautifully ‘lighted zone of very white clouds with the sun.-shining brightly behind them; looking at the horizonagain I saw another very dark cloud and I noticed a ﬂash of lightning in the center of it and I could see it was raining heavily there; it impressed me very much and I tried to read that pic- ture, and from. an artistic point of View it represented to me Noah’s Ark leaving that stricken Continent be- hind and heading towards that beau- tiful light ahead; and once‘ more I noticed the quietness and stillness in the atmosphere, and my heart was thrilled and inspired with the won- der -of such a beautiful and spiring manifestation. — J.

This is the mystery of the relaxa- tion ofvfyourlconscious mentality, the mystery of stilling yourselves as per- son.s,.fand stilling yourselves mental- ly, stilling yourselves intuitively, and allowing the Spirit of GOD to move spontaneously without your power go think or control.

This is what should be with If you allow the Spirit , Itself from’ the CHRIST Consciousness; to take full ‘ control of your body as well as that which is termed your soul, it would not be very long before GOD would have full control over .you,—over your «body and over your affairs, as well as over your soul. When this is ac- complished, GOD will be Ruling and Reigning over that which was termed your dominion and your existence.- Wheresoever _a King reigns, there is where his Kingdom is. If you will allow GOD to Rule and Reign in you, and in your affairs, by waiting con- tinuously until GOD Speaks or Acts, GOD will take full control in» the Name of the CHRIST, and your body, your spirit, your mind and your soul will be under the Jurisdiction com- pletely,-—-will be under the Jurisdic- tion of Him that Liveth forever.

You believe it will not be; therefore it. is your dispensive duty “to seek to get the best man for the Presidency you can secure in and un- C “«»dprjj?this.4"Government.- , It would even e our if possible to seek one " .that is not Country or ' ‘ Nation, if we could secure one that would be, absolutely unselﬁshjthat would be absolutely non-racial and, non-national, but a great humanitar- ian for the good _,of all humanity, that would be free from ,a.l‘l'ofL those mor- tal tendencies. We would be pleased to have one, if we could not --ﬁnd one under the American Flag. I But ac- cording to the custom and according to the Rules and Regulationseof our" National Constitution, we find it es- sential to secure one from among us, whom we may term to be an Ameri- can citizen. For this ‘cause we will seek the very best possible, qualiﬁed for the Presidency. Hence if we can find one, and -the Masses universally are convinced that he is suitable to- -be the President, will elect such a man, and we feel sure that with this man as President,» under his ad- ministration we will -have success and prosperity, and the Nation ‘will’ be- come to be more progressive than they were when the man was in Of- ﬁce that was not so well qualiﬁed. ELECT CHRIST TO FILL ALL So it is in you, with you, and con- cerning you and‘ /your affairs, You have sought RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, but you could not get it at the hands of wic'ked- “ ness. It was essential for you to seek diligently to find the Spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS ‘somewhere, but as you sought it, here, there and prac- tically everywhere, through the dif- ferent Politicians, through the dif-“ ferent Organizations, and found it not, you found withinvyourself it was a hope that did lie silent and dor- mant, waiting for ydur conscious con- viction and realization of I the tan- gible-ization of the PERFECT. By this, youfound it was essential .for CHRIST Himself to be elected“ Oh it is a pri'viIege,—a privilege to realize it,—as you found that CHRIST Himself was the oniy One found worthy. As John declared it in Rev- elation, the Heaven was searched, _the Earth was searched,-—oh it _is something to co‘n'sider,—and none was found worthy to loose“ the Seals of the Boolg; not until One’crep’t out from underneath the Altar,-—it,Iiiust have been the ‘altar of your heai‘t,—- that .you_ “found worthy in your C011-I sideration to eiectjiis.

Now isn't that Wonderful! With-the Spirit of Equity we are now repre- senting RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, as the RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT under the Constitu- . ' tion of our great Country shall be universally established, and all man- shall recognize CHRIST as KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS through Legality. I cannot stress ‘it too vividly, for it is something once unbelievable, but since the Condescension of CHRIST with Love, and Mercy, and Compas- . sion, to tangible-ate NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, we can recognize His Presence as a Living I Reality. It shall. be recognized -through Legality, and universally es- tablished. For this cause we are -re- joicing. COKVERSIGN T0 CHRIST A NECESSITY V I ‘Then I Say, if you still yourselves ' as individuals, and allow the Spirit of GOD’S Presence to Work within you, CHRIST as the Inﬁnite will come to the surface, and will hcome forth into outer expression, and will be rec- ' ognized. As He has been elected, now He is Reigning Supreme over you and _over all things, therefore nonecan’ hinder_ Him.’ This is ac- ‘ complislied collectively and universal- I ly.

Spirit of GOD'S Pres- ence causing you to move spontane- ously and" volitionally, will teach you Wisdom beyond the measure of hu- manity. When this is accomplished in you individually, you will be con- scious of the CHRIST within, for you will have success," youswill have pros- perity, you will have wealth, you will have health, you will have happiness, ’ you Will have wisdorn,,~,you will have knowledge and All“ Understanding transcending all human intelligence. If you fall short of_ any of these ex- pressions according to “My foregoing statement, it is the lack of you be- ing conscious .of the CHRIST with- in, but to the contrary, you have es- tablished some mortal concept or ,mortal version within, claiming this which you have established within ‘to be the CHRIST within. but when you still. yourselves as‘ individuals, and live Evangelically ?whole—hearted- ly with,your,‘,spiri’c, soul, and , your body, you ,”will become to be con- 'sc‘ious. of ’the.cHR1s'r, Within, for .

INSTRUCTIVE INSTRUCTION ' ALWAYS RIGHT ‘ Now those of you who ARE con- scious of the CHRIST within, you‘ .may still your conscious mentality after you have recognized GOD’S Presence, through -a full and a whole- hearted consecration, and the reac- tion of your conscious mentality will bring into outer expression your ver- sion concerning GOD’S Presence. Through .you living it expressly, viv- idly, it will cause others to visualize it. As they visualize your conscious conviction and your version, they too will be partakers of your character- istics, and they" will begin to ex- press it with you. , I need not Say more at this junc- ‘ture. I‘ believe I have brought to your consideration a few points that are worth considering. By this, if you still yourselves individually, GOD‘ will cause you to move volitionally, When GOD causes you to ‘move voli- tionally, and instructs through you intuitively, it will be no longer you but CHRIST that dwells in you,——' when CHRIST has full Control in you; when CHRIST is Perfection in every expression; in all of your emo- tions, in all of your actions, and in , all you say or do. It is a. privilege, when GOD Himself has full Control,, but so long as you are moving ac- cording to your preconceived, I and opinions through by concentra- tion onthe mortal concept of them, you will cause such conditions to re- sult in your experience. that Wonderful! GOD SPEAKS VOLITIONALLY But as I Say, VOLITIONALLY is the outward expression of the True, * and the Faithful who recognize GOD'S , Presence. You will not take thoughts what you are going to say, neither As I Say at times when those. of our Friends ‘come, and ask the question, ‘Are You going to Speak this Evening, or this ,After-- . noon, Tonight} or whatsoever time, it may be, it puts Meito a stand-still». , if I COULD stand still, to think of ‘" “kins .‘.‘’h°¥‘ 3*“ I 569135-"9 »-5P?=é¥¢;_‘. .

ABu-t as several" writers have ob- served, the true picture of New York has never yet beencaught. Like the “great American novel” the ultimate story of /the great metropolis is still ’ to be written. New York has a pulse,-. a baffling character. all of its own, which defies description.» \ A famous columnist once said that there were only three really_ cosmo- politan cities in America—-New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco. It is undoubtedly the stupendous impression of New York which first strikes the visitor. It is immense and truly. deserving of the Hollywood term of “gigantic.” ,New York is gigantic. As one crosses the rivers, wh:ichi ribbon-like, surround the city, by ferry or bridge, one is staggered by the view which meets the eye. At first, it looks like aniimmense pile of ‘brick with the great shafts of its mighty towers rearing their way skyward like so many grotesque spires or monuments. Then one distin- guishes express highways above.‘ the city's roaring streets, elevated rail- ways, and sees in almost every di- rection the network of bridges over which - thousands swarm daily intb New York from New Jersey, Brook- lyn, and Long Island. Like great spiders the bulky ferry‘ boats ply their way across the Hudson and upper Bay while the huge ocean‘ liners lounge‘ gracefully _ in their -berths" _‘much like impatient grey”- hounds.

New York, as might be expected considering its position as the larg- city in "the world, is contro- an attitude -to the extreme reverse, New York is that kind of a city. The visitor ‘from the hinterlan-ds in- varjably finds himself unable to a- dapt himself to...New York’s,all too rapid pace and distinctly peculiar not inclined to dislike the prospect of life. amid such hustle and bustle. Those from abroad, struck by the progressiveness of anew and mod- ern country and the opportunities offered, are more likely to stay in New York and cast their lot with its teeming millions. In spite of the varying likes or d’isl‘ikes of New York, the city continues to go on its calloused way, a bit proudly and condescendingly, secure « in - its dis- Itinction of the “most important city.” It still attracts millions of visitors yearly to view its wonders,- passing pleasures, and “bright lights” and it still occupies con- sistently, more than any other city, the greater shareof the world's at- tention. According to those who like_ to delve into statistics and such things, it is said’ that Hollywood ap- pears in print more than any other center in the world, with Paris an- other close runner-upmfor the spot- light. But there is no doubt that New York, by and large, still usurps most I of the general limelight. When it is considered that New York is the financial, publishing, ad- vertisfng, -music, theatrical, build— . ing and shipping center of the world, for ex“a-mple, \a small glimpse of its importance will Abe readily seen. These fields alone, not to mention the many other phases in which New York is the leader, make what happens in this city of the widest importance. p - Every city has -a,~“temp"o‘ ’and a. character.“ New York's many nioods is more often than» . blocks, A one and cross-sections of life are vividly painted by syndicate feature writers and columnists daily. It is not the "‘tempo” of New York with which‘ weare concerned here. 7 The most significant thing about '“ New York is its bigness and its per- manent exposition of scientific and l engineering wonders. But New York has changed un- believably in the past few years. The very character of the city itself " has undergone a. change. The “de- pression” was responsible for the passing /of many familiar landmarks and traditional characteristics of metropolitan life. The inevitable -‘march of progress accounted for the rest. New York today is -rapidly be- v coming unrecognizable to its ha- bitues ofiformer gilded days. Even the atmosphere and manner of liv- ing has changed. Broadway, and most of its familiar and more gla- morous figures, has “moved to Hol- lywood,” so to speak. Times Square has settled down. The legitimate theater, literally starved out during the recent’ years of the Hollywood boom and the “depression,” shows flashes of a. ‘return but much of ‘the bustle a/nd glamour of Broadway has gone. Prices‘ are at levels never be- fore associated with Broadway and everything has about it a more con- servative and modified look. New, .York lives saner and more sensibly than ever before. Ainumber of peculiar sights have "T accompanied these years of sur-2 prising transition. And with'them' have come signs of marked progress ‘\ and a better mode of living for New Yorkers. , A marked feature of present day New York is the number of two and three construction, they are what might be described as “ground ﬂoor structures” such as are seen in ‘moderate sized cities. Resernblingi corner of ''44th -Streetand Broadway ’ on the site"of».‘tl1e“o1d Criterion and Loéw’s ._ New, -York gaoér theatres; ‘ .iY story buildings which have ,‘ ‘sprung up on strategic corners.

These buildings are merely “shop gaps” securing the property until ‘the, days. of higher buildings and -better times. . ,Another striking improvement im- mediately noticeable to former vis- ‘ itors is the forward strides made in transportation service. New York has long lacked an adequate cross- townl ‘service and the clattering old "i . street‘ cars and “elevateds” have. long since been viewed/as outmoded. This spring,‘ thousands of the: latest type motor coaches, with motor in- the rear, made their way over the highways bound for New ‘York as part of the’ city's great order for new busses. .Now, nearly every ’im- portant thoroughfare in Manhattan is ~served' adequately with these gleaming, modern“ busses of ' parti- cularly . ibeautiful design and style for the nominal fare of a nickel. The ' ‘five cent fare is an accomplishment "New\Y»ork has long fought to pre- serve and was one of the greatest prides of the dapper Mayor Walker during his historic regime. e - One could not dismiss the ‘‘won- t der” of New York’s transportation. system without mention of the laby-, rinth of subways which lie beneath th’eIbusy\ streets. One line traverses a distance of twenty five miles as far as Coney Island. The recently constructed Independent S y s t e In, built-by the city, has extended -the subway mileage ‘to, include virtually every iniportant thoroughfare in the city. Even the new subways ‘in Mos- cow are» said not to exceed those of New York in speed, service, and ef- ficiency. So complete are ‘the trans- portation provisions in the ‘metro- politan area, that a. walkof a. block in nearly’ any direction will «bring one to some form of rapid transit, either a‘. subway, #1’). ’f‘elevated,” street car,_or bus. ’ ’ ‘Transp;or_tation_ brings \ us to ‘the. ine'trop£‘3lis’_ "newest “wonder” — the . "super _oc'ea;‘n i.linefrs,~ “Queen Mary” . « f_.»!»,ei1’d “’Normandi:e.~:? » ‘A. visit to either_ ‘ »_ot .!these‘_t-woﬁ‘ mammoth: liners is,-an ’/education -in_“-itself. The _“Queen Ma- ‘ fy,” a quarter -of a mile inzrlengthui, rt laid alongside‘ the 102- story Empire ;State Building and- could I be would parallel its height! Seafaring men, versed in ship construction, di- vulge that the giant _“Queen Mary” was built with an eye to its eventual use as a transport in “time of war. Many of its features can be readily converted into wartime use, so it is said. It is reported that Britain plans to build a still greater ship § which is! described as a real “super liner." One viewing the “Queen” finds this hard to conceive. A much mooted point among “shipminded” New Yorkers is the comparison be- tween ‘the “Queen Mary” and the rival French Liner V ‘-‘Normandie?’ Despite the “Queen’s"" advantage in length of’ a few feet, the “Norman- die” is claimed by some to be the more graceful ship. _ A ride down the West Side ex- press highway overlooking ‘the docks where lay such titanics of the ocean as the “N'ormandie" and “Queen Mary” is one of the real sights of New York. , Out of the greatirnvmensity of stone and mortar that is New ‘York, certain vivid recollections stand out. Certain vistas, if such they might be- called, or views, leave a lasting and indelible picture in the mind. New York might we-11 be games a “city of 1-e‘ath-taking vistas!"‘ It is a. city of startling contrasts and transi- tions. ’ The great -George. Washington Bridge flinging its majestic length across the Hudson topthe shore of g the Palisades! This “bridge was one’ of the greatest engineering feats of all times. Great problems were en-_ countered in achieving the feat of . suspending such a vast weight as‘ was required to traverse the width. A of the Hudson at this,,_point. Cable was wound around cable in seeming- ly endless fashion and this cable se- cured underground to sunken A con- _ . c_rete pillars on the steep Jerseyside to make possible such an underta_.k_-_ . ing. The George Washington Bridge spans the longest single,.uninterrupt- eds. expanse of wateigever bridged .,and it is said . thatlmderneath. its suspension .arch.V;from shoreto‘ shore the Brooklyn Bridge could be placed! __ The great xlitiver Bridge beeﬁng -ﬁle. -. sf v0ne~.<3f “.19 country’s;n1ost illustrious forbears is the most graceful suspension bridge ever constructed. As one approaches the. great span from the woodlands of the New Jersey side the impres- sion of its towering ‘silver-painted outlines is one of the most breath- taking and majestic views possible ' to envision! Two great terminals at each end which support the suspen- sion bridge are as high as the Woolworth Building. Matching the‘ George t Washington Bridge in beauty is the new Tri-Borough BI‘idg‘6'WhiCh spans the East River to Long Island V A ‘ Big things in New York must take in as well, the Holland Tunnel the greatest vehicular tunnel in the "world connecting 1-ower New York with Jersey City. This amazing achievement will have a mate in the new Midtown Vehicular Tunnel which is undenconstruction linking 42nd Street with the Jersey side. Everything about New York one finds is the “biggest and greatest.” Bridges, tunnels, and skyscrapers are not all that Gotham boasts. The 'Hayden Planetarium adjoining the Museum of Natural History draws sightseers from all over the world and is indescribably beautiful in its constellation of “heavenly” bodies. Sold originally to the early Dutch settlers by the Indians for some trinkets totalling an equivalent value of twenty four dollars Man- hattan Island today ‘ represents‘ in- estimable millions.‘ ' All of these great advantages of engineering skill have changed the life and added to the comforts of‘ New Yorkers. In late "years Manhat- tan in particular has witnessed a migration of residents to the; outly- ing suburban points of Westchester, Long Island, and New Jersey. Ma‘h- A havtan Island has literally become Va vast workshop. New York today is quieter—somewhat more subdued. ‘ The express, highways and bridges have greatly alleviated the traffic problem and the streets of the city are more and more becoming like those of other less congestecfmajor cities. Traffic "moves swiftly and smoothly. Many of the clattering elevated trains, so long a trial to .A the nerves and peace of Gothamites, have been removed. The clearance of long established slum areas, notab‘-' ’»b1:y]:..a.l01§1lg‘ the u East River ‘Wa 5:‘- ‘front and in Harlem, have been‘ out- rage I23’ aways standing achievements" _which have helped to make the “new face“ of New York". ' T L In ‘the daytime New York is still the incredible beehive of activity it has always been, as swarms of business people pour into the offices and workshops of the city proper- But at night New York is peculiar- ly silent and its streets are strange- ly quiet in contrast to former, years. One turns away from the paradox- ical monstrosity of New York with vivid fleeting flashes of some of its fantastic‘ and scenes crowding the mind more than the actual, everyday considerations of life as it is lived in the “great- est city in all the world.” Various _visits to New York and numberless strolls and wanderings about its by- have contributed many of these “flashes.” The imagination finds. full play for the moment as it ‘wanders where it listeth. The impressions of New York gathered at random pass through our mind in kaleidoscopic review. 7 The lull which comes over the city at 7 P.M. after the feverish business day. The glittering artificality and satiatedy unreality of Times Square. . The majestic sweep of the George Washington Bridge! C The impressive grandeur and dig- nity of the Grand Central Station. LThe startling, grotesque, V and dwarfed feeling as one stands at the foot iofithe Empire state Build- .ing and" looks up at the immense shaft unable to see the top. The . superfluous abundance of taxi- cabs tumbling all over each other which incessantly clog Manhattan's‘ streets. The “sideshow” appearance of 42nd .Street, west of Broadway. The remembrance of a moonlight ferry ride to_ Staten Island past the illuminated Statue of Liberty‘ and the silvery waters of New York Harbor strikingly reminiscent of San Francisco Bay and the Oakland Ferry crossing. Out beyond ‘the “narrows,”_ the and inviting. ‘ The skyscrapers of downtown New York on-a winter‘s evening at 5 P. .

' ' i The lakes in Central Park and their incongruously rural appearance against the towering apartment houses. The massive Radio City buildings, severity stories high, with their illu- minated windows at midnight from which foremost programs emanate all over the nation. .

Through the dark, silent canyons of Man- hattan’s streets our car crept. The thoroughfares,‘ s;o"'alive in the day- time, were ‘entirely deserted "now. Here and there a l-one taxicab crept- stealithily through the streets. A- red light blinked atop one of the highest downtownskyscrapers. On‘ uptown we made our way, past the gaunt lines of the Flatiron Build- ing, once the city's‘ great skyscrap- er, and into the still dignity of "Madison Avenue. The cool wind blew our hair refreshingly. The‘ smell of the river came to us on the wind. As we rode silently through A the .streets ,we looked up at the dark outlines of the great“ buildings which lined the canyons of New York.

For this cause we can-rejoice, to see that CHRIST is "-Rich and all you need, though there ‘ in-a‘y~com\e some or many among us ' who may be filled with human-inte1- " ligence, wisdom, knowledge and un- derstanding. They have sought it and acquired it, many of them. Many have acquired great wealth and great learn- fng~othenvise, but they still ﬁnd them- selves unsatisﬁed, for CHRIST is the ‘ only Satisfying Portion for all hu- ~manity wheresoever man is found. But by the right contact, and the right and the recognition of satisﬁed. Through all of your seek- ing for learning, through all of your seeking for wealth, through,al'l of your seeking for skill and ability, for Science and Invention, and other ex- pressions, and acquiring all of these — different expressions apparently, as expressed for the satisfying of the minds of the children of men; I Say 3’ you have acquired them_ Having re- ceived them in their entirety, yet I see you were still unsatisﬁed. FELLOWSHIP wrru GOD 'SA'l‘l'SFYIN_G Nothing could satisfy the soul of man, and the spirit and the mind,‘ saving that of the Fellowship and _the recognition of the Presence of GOD. Man had been driven from _the Presence of GOD.

You will ﬁnd your satisfying portion in this recognition’ of GOD’S Presence in the FLESH as: He was in the be- ginning. But when mankind was driven from the Presence of GOD, he groped in darkness, inmisery, and in woe, for ‘In sorrow,’ Said GOD, ‘you shall go, and shall toil by tilling the _Earth; for they E’é.r'th to you shall be a curse,’—~Said the CHRIST, or GOD. These Words were true,—the Earth to them was a curse, but by the rec- ognition of GOD’S PRESENCE‘, has He returned to make the Earth the Heaven_ “NO MORE CURSE T0 SOD” ' I Inspired one by the Spirit of My Presence saying,-—‘There is no more curse to the sod.’ is no more curse to the sod, you can «go.out and cultivate it and replenish it, as was commanded -by GOD to Adam to-do in the.beginning. Oh it is something to consider’! There came a curse to the sod when Adam violated the'Law of GOD, but since the Coming of CHRIST into your conscious realization, having recog- nized the tangible-ated expression of His Tabernacleamong us as it may be termed, youﬁndwthat there isgno more curse to the sod. Oh it is a privilege to realize it, and observe‘ the Blessings of GOD going so far; no longer merely to stop at con- verting the souls Qf the children of men, and the minds and the. bodies of them. I . The very animal kingdom, it is converted to GOD. There is no more curse to the sod, and the sod bring-o inglforth vegetation by the Spirit of GOD'S Presence, therefore the vege- table kingdom is also converted and j brought into subjection to the Will of GOD. There is no more curse to the sod. Aren't you glad! By this ‘rec- ognition and by this realization, through this great conversion, by there being no more curse to the sod, your Help, and the Aid for Now since there’ , e, table H kingdom ‘coming M G e sod, being truly con- verted and -brought into subjection to GOD, we ﬁnd the animal kingdom 1 feeding on the vegetable kingdom as an expression of GOD,—we ﬁnd they are no more cursed, for the food they eat also will come from, and it does come from the vegetable kingdom that has been truly converted to GOD. , That is the great signiﬁcance of the Great Converter, the Great Man- ifester, to free i you from those curses, for when the sod, the Earth, ,was cursed in the beginning after the ifall of Adam, even the animal king- dom in all of its departments and ex- pressions, was cursed together. Oh it is something to consider! While the Earth was cursed, with all of its mineral kingdoms combined, the sod which produces and brings forth the ivegetation, the vegetable kingdom, was also cursed by that ﬁrst curse of GOD_ I Ohiit is something to con- sider! And. as the vegetable king- dom was cursed, even also‘ was the animal kingdom cursed, ...by the veg- etable kingdom being cursed bythe mineral kingdom and the Earth be- ing cursed. FIVE KINGDOMS UNIFIED IN ONE But CHRIST, as the Great Con- verter, the Great Redeemer coming with this great Conversion, would not only convert the souls or the spirits and minds of the children of men, but GOD would convert the BODIES of them. Converting their bodies would also descend to another ' lower state of expression, and even 'convert and bless the animal king- dom. Going to another lower degree of expression of GOD’S Life as man- ifested in the vegetable GOD would also convert and‘ bless the vegetable kingdom. Going from that degree .of expression to a lower unfoldfnent of the Life of,GOD as manifested in the mineral kingdom, the Earth and its outward expression, GOD would also bless it and convert it, Therefore GOD has abundantly blessed the mineral kingdom, the vegetable kingdom, the animal king- dom, the man kingdom, and has brought the GOD Kingdom to the I Earth-planet, that the five kingdoms might, be_uniﬁed in one, as the five‘ ~‘ ‘ Wise Virgins were, according to the Scripture. GOD in His Own ‘Maj-, kingdom, I vésty, Love and Mere_, , , , verted all of ‘the kingdom land uni- » « apparatus, is working ' was it? A ﬁed them all together‘ hd caused even the‘ curse to the sod tono longer be, but from the curses of GOD.'you are all set free. ‘ SCIENTIFIC AND’ I-IARMONIOUS NEENTALITY Just think of it,-"—this great, Eman- cipator, this « great Convertor, this great Redeemer and Saviour, can and will convert all things unto. Himself. For this cause and for this purpose He came in the likeness of sinful. ﬂesh. As it is Written, ‘He came in the likeness. of sinful ﬂesh to con- demn sin in "the ﬂesh’. This is a true Saying, and ,I am verifying and con- ﬁrming the same. I came in the like- ness of sinful ﬂesh to condemn the «sin of the ﬂesh, and to convert the ﬂesh ‘and everything else that was ‘cursed, unto GOD Himself. ‘There is no more curse to the sod.’ Then I Say-, by the right concept .and the recognition of GOD’S Pres- ence, by rightfully receiving GOD harmoniously in your consciousness with the realization of His Majesty, Love, and‘ Mercy as tangibleated, ma- terialized" and man‘ifeste‘d,v even so will GOD‘ adjust all matters satis- -factorily, ‘by such a ‘recognition. You can see your undesirablle conditions have been adjusted satisfactorily. You can see,’ your mentality is no more irregular, but the regularity of your mentality, with your thinking scientiﬁcally and harmoniously, since GOD HAS’ QUICKENED THEM and brought" them into subjection by this great Conversion. KINGDOM ‘OF HEAVEN IS THE HEAVEN Oh it is a privilege to live in the ACTUALPRESENCE of GOD, where the Tree of Life is Blooming; where’ it is REST for the weary, where it is» REST for you; where 'GOD'I-Iim- ‘ self alone shall Reign, and none shall ‘hinder Him. I Said, ‘There is no more curse to. the sod.’ Where the sod, before this recog=ni-tion- came, was a curse to the children of men, they had ‘to go in sorrow and in worries, and earn their bread by the sweat of" their face, or through in sorrow. Why It was because they were under the curse! But now it is a \ blessing to be an expresser of that "Q? which JESUS’ was the Manifestor. \ .‘. . S?” A?~”l11'37'i3°11“;/ ,had seen GOD at anytime.‘ The Only Begotten of the FATHER, I-Ie had Declared Him_ JESUS as a Person Was brought into outer expres- sion} as the Manifestor of GOD’S Presence. Therefore it is a blessing to live in this recognition, where you can be the reproducers, reincarnators and re-maniffestors of Perfection. You are brought into this State of ‘Consciousness by bringing your body into subjection as an individual and as individuals collectively. By this you will have the Victory over every difficulty, and over all trials, ‘ and over" all tribulations, for GOD in His great Love and ‘Mercy has brought about this great Conversion and has truly- converted all things. The min- eral kingdom, the vegetable kingdom, the animal kingdom, and the man kingdom,.——all of these kingdoms have been converted unto GOD, and GOD through His Condescension, and Mercy,'and Compassion, has brought His Kingdom of Heaven X together with them, The Kingdom of Heaven is the Leaven or which JESUS was Speaking when He Said, ‘The little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.’ The Spirit of GOD in Mercy, andthe Leavening Essence of Salvation will leaven your spirit, your mind, your soul,’and your body as an individual, and will leaven the five kingdoms to- gether and’ unify them as one, and cause this Earth to be ‘the Kingdom ’ of Heaven, when the Work on Earth is done. ’ I , "I KNOW MY REDEEMER LIVETH” _ , Oh it is a privilege I ‘Say, to visu- alize the Perfect Picture, a.nd ob- ‘se_I've_, it’ vividly,-§—to concentrate on it and to believe in it, for such a belief and such a recognition and concentration, will cause harmoni- ous conditions to“: «result, for the harmonizer and the adjuster will come forth into expression as swift- ly as you all collectively will recog- nize His, Presence, That is the great mystery— So long as you do not. recognize GOD’S Presence as .a. Living Factor among us, -to. you- as an individual who will not recog- nize it and concentrate on it, GOD cannot adjust matters satisfa.ctori—. ly for you ‘because you have not recognized GOD as All Powers.

If the M.D..'s through medical and physical sci- ence, have’ found it is essential to ‘. take out your tonsils, we declare it * i is essential to take out your PRE- CON“:CEI'VED IDEAS,—to take out,;f—- your preconceived ideas and opini-2 ons by this great spiritual and men- tal operation. -When I shall have ~ \ performed the operation, even be- fore I convince you against your‘ mystery scientifically and perfcctly,»«|,, that it will be a matter of impos—.,,_'.~ ,, will, you will“ no longer have the._”\ old .opinion, -for I am,performinggaii;;.,_‘:;“ ‘pp . operation".--taking them out. It is in-, deed" Wonderful! ‘ ‘rti , I’ niscience. it is,’ justifiable‘ for, physical cijéiice 1-thbrhugh medical science to . ﬁtake‘ out’ your , tonsils, it is more ‘ﬁu'stifiabl’e' for the 13.1). of’ .sa1va-‘ ’ tio.n to -perform that mental and "spiritual, operation and take out your PRECONCEIVED IDEA\S . and OPINIONS. I shall not only take "out your preconceived ideas and opinions, but I am taking Out your M pre-inherited . fancies, pleasures,‘ and tendencies. I am giving you anew tendency and new tendencies by In- spiration," and by the reincarnation, of My Spirit and My Nature. That is the mystery among us,—giving you new fancies, tendencies and pleasures, by the transmission and reincarnation of My Spirit, I will give you a new’ Inspiration, and a newwlnspiration will give you new tendencies, for you will have in- “clinations in a different direction ‘by the "Spirit of My Presence, as I _-transmit them. Isn't that Wonder- ‘ ful! LIVING IN. AN Anvaivonn CIVILIZATION Shakespeare did say,—‘He whom , you convince against his will, he will ' have the same opinion still,’ but we are‘not Shakespearians. We are liv- ing in an advanced Civilization,-yea even a Spiritual Civilization of Per- fection that will bring Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding, di- rectly\ from the Fount of GOD'S Om- -There will not be another to correct it, for it has come forth into. expression perfectly corrected. Therefore it is correct-proof, it can- .j“not be corrected.‘ GOD is the Cor- rector. I Then I Say, ‘CHRIST is Rich and all you need.’ Jot these Thoughts downin your vocabularies, and gath- er the collective vocabularies to- "gether, and see if you can ﬁnd any- . thing to oppose it, or anything that can ﬁnd it wanting or lacking for full Perfection in the light of this I. Civilization. Live in this recognition dear ones, and GOD Himself win‘ Teach you All Wisdom, for they shall all be Taught ,.'of GOD. Now isn't that Wonderful! It is written, ‘They an shall KNOW , Me, fromthe least to the greatest.’ ‘The least has come forth into ex- , ppressionz; withthe recognition and the ,‘understanding of My TANGIBLE _ _1?_r,esencee ﬁrstly. Now . ‘isn't ..that 1W*?h.dérfuJ: set the greater imam- ‘firstly, ing forth into expression with the conscious recognition of GOD'S’ Pres"-» ence, and the realization of it." ‘ “COMPEL THEM TO COME IN” , ‘Go out,’ Said He, ‘in the streets, the alleys, the courts, and the lanes, and compel them to come in.’ All of the halt, the maimed, the lame, the‘ crippled, and the blind! These were. invited to come in, and they came in Those who were politically halt, maimed, lame,-., crippled, blind,—they came in. Those who were politically, socially, mentally, and spiritually, yea Religiously halt, maimed, lame, crippled, and blind, they all came in ﬁrstly. Every ex- pression of an individual profession- ally being lame orlimited from the angle of expression wherein they stayed, and wherein they were called politically,--the halt and maimed, lame, crippled and blind socially,-- the halt, lame, maimed, crippled and blind Religiously,-—the halt, lame, maimed, crippled and blind modestly, —-the halt, lame, maimed, crippled and blind of every desirable expres- sion of our high light of ‘Civilization, ——they were maimed, lame, crippled and blind in these different degrees of expression, therefore it was es- sential to bring them in ﬁrstly. But after I brought them in from a so- cial and every other point of view, they were limited, they could not stand, nor were they accounted for among you. But what Says the Scripture? After these all came in ﬁrstly,—those, who were the meek and the insigniﬁcant, “the illiterate and ignorant, those who were immodest, immoral and disrespectable,-—all of these came in firstly, answering the Call of the Master, .- “THAT MY HOUSE MIGHT BE FULL” But what says the ‘There is still room in My House’; go out in the hedges and the high- ways, and compel them to come in, that My house, ‘or My Table; might be ﬁlled.’ ‘ tration? Have I not plainly illus- trated it? Is it not openly mani- fested? Can you not all vividly and legi-bly observe it? They are coming in now from the hedges and the highways. Those who stood. high in Society! The higher-ups in the in-. fv91;1¢t¢t1l8«i world: ‘The higrher-‘uss in - and _ Scripture? ‘ Is not this a plain illus- . i . The higher-upsl in the w‘Q,ii'1_d;o£t orality! The high- er-ups iniaitlh Q orid of Christianity! The higher-ups in the world of ‘Sci- ence and Invention! I can see them coming in, for I am calling for them that they /might be one with the chil-' dren of men, that they all might en- joy the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth where I am Dwelling. We cannot stress ,it too vividly when we see plainly we are the ful- ﬁllers. We cannot stress it too sin- cerely, when we see plainly others are coming with the Spirit of sin- cerity, Oh it is something, to con- sider, because it is so far convincing it will not leave you with the s-ame opinion, for I am performing firstly that mental and spiritual operation to take out all of your old opinions, your preconceived ideas and opinions; ' -your preconceived fancies, pleasures, :and their tendencies, the same’ as your physical physician will take out your tonﬁls if they are affected. I Thank you." i i Progress of Brotherhood The following sign can ‘be seen on 50th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues: , ! “Polyclinic Hospital. for the sick without regard to race,‘or creed." Such unselfishness and Brother- hood gives us cause to rejoice and makes us know the day is not far distant when such signs will not have to be placed on institutions, for they will all be under the laws of Christ, which is true Brother- hood. In the Sonship Degree the Christ stated this ~Principl_e in such , simple but effective words, when H-E said: “In as much as ye have done it unto one of these, the least of My‘ brethren, ye have done it un- to me.” ‘ ’ l’l\I ALL THY WAYS ACKNOW- ‘ LEDGE HIIVI In thoughts, words, actions. In qui- etness, trust, thanks, praise. In com- plete surrender, self-denial, and con- secration. In love to all; seeking the _ .good in all; watching for opportuni- ties to be kind‘ and helpful; avoiding personal feeling; refusing to speak of faults in others except in a kindly spirit for some goodpurpose, -- ORD” .

KINGSTON, NEW YORK. ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, JULY19, 1936, TIME: 1:10 P.M. It was a- glorious privilege to awake and ﬁnd ourselves still in the PROMISED LAND on this beautiful Sunday Morn, after having spent a night in the “KING’S MANSION,” in the “Kings Town" Extension. The .' radiance of the Sun, beamed through the windows, and the green foliage surrounding the Mansion was restful to the eyes of man. The Angels were scattered about the Lawn, some seat- = ed in the swings, some on the ve- randa, some grouped amid the grape. arbor, some strolled down the road in front of the Mansion, to overlook the newly-built cottage, others were Seated on the grass and in beach chairs. All were engaged in conver- sation, ‘ but their thoughts, although each little group was out of speak-‘ ing distance of the other, they were all unified in heart, for their subject” of conversation was not different from the other. “GOD, FATHER DI- VINE,” was , the topic for each group. “Didn't GOD talklast nightlf’ “Wasn’t that a MESSAGE the LORD gave us last night?” “My! have you ever heard such Myste- I \ and the J oy of,HIS Presence quite modernistic, due to their con- tact with the outer world of slang, and retaining a little. trace of their pre-conceived expressions, but whose hearts are wholly consecrated to GOD FATHER DIVINE, were heard to say: “Oh boy! I mean GOD talked some last night, didn’t HE?” “You're telling me?” etc, These were but a few of the‘ interesting expressions V that could be heard from the lips of ' \the Angels‘ as one passed by.‘ This was a~.beautiful state of ex- pression, to see all of those in" the recognition of this PRINCIPLE of LIFE, lifted to the degree, where criticism and slander is not a part of their life, but the NAME of GOD FATHER DIVINE reigns upper- mostly in their consciousness. Goodness, the Love and the Mercy, the Compassion, the Tenderness and the Kindness of THE BLESSED REDEEMER ‘and SAVIOUR of man, ﬁlls their hearts to the utmost, and their language is the language of Angels, giving Eternal Praise and Glory to their MAKER and CRE- ATOR, their LORD and their KING. ’ With pleasant memories of the night before, when the host of An- gels from A the City and elsewhere were assembled with us, now that the buses had returned to New York City, an-d_.most of the private cars, there still was present a goodly num- ber from the various extensions in~ the PROMISED LAND, and together with those who had been_ privileged by FATHER to remain'over for the night, when the , breakfast . gong ries?”“Son1e\‘whos_e speech was still sounded, there wash splendid repre— RD The V Page 4 sentation of the Followers present at the Banquet Table, with others sit- ting and‘ standing around, all eager- Jy'and vigilantly waiting for these Erecious, Blessed WORDS that pro- eeeded out of the Mouth of GOD.

When I say, Rl:CliTEoUsNEss, TRUTH and JUSTICE, remember RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH“ and JUSTICE, the three must work har- moniously together. I_ -would like to say to Faithful Truth, TRUTH’ can- not work alone, You must work with RIoHTEoUsNEss and JUSTICE to express it. Your -thoughts may be: ‘ “I do not like to say this, or say the other to stir up, or to start some- thing,” but remember, TRUTH was cruciﬁed because it was not pro- tected by RIG}-ITEOUSNESS and JUSTICE front every angle of ex- pression, to‘ that degree_ up until was ncruciﬁed, . and‘ in the cruciﬁxion, RICHTEoUsNEss‘ and JUSTICE were Vprohibited from be- ing TRUTH’S protection. This thought should be considered. While being TRUTH, and Faithful ‘Truth, and every other righteous ex- ' pression,.RIGHTEOU s N Es s, TRUTH and JUSTICE should work together. These thoughts are Well worth considering, If you will al- low a person or persons to do one -thing or say one word at MY PER- SONAL ABSENCE, they would not. do or say_i'n MY PERSONAL PRES- ENCE».. asid; <‘=?éu‘S'e1>.'°u‘ t9. think .<=.°n- °¢r1liI?I8,‘. ﬁhé né.18!'-tféiz .¢Spéci‘alIl?_ it it is-stressful in the way or laughter The qsroxnx W0-RD” or in -the way of sadness, that some- thin'g'_ will sever you, from ME.

SPIRIT HATH,:..N0T B‘LES1i AND. .30NES. . ,_Th_e outwardﬂexpression is but the Mental and Spiritual conception, be- ing outwardly expressed, and mani- fested. It is .that which was con- ceivefd, ﬁretly, It is that which was invisible. It is that which was men- tal. It_ is that which was Spiritual, but it is h'rodght into‘ outer ex- pression through your conscious thifnlting‘, and through’ the conscious thinking or the thoughts of others. By this, we are: sitting’, standing and talking in a way that it can -be heard, seen, and we be felt. “Handle ME and feel ME,” said‘ HE, “and see that a. Spirit hath not ﬂesh and bones.” _ This _thought was brought out as GOD in the ,Person or JESUS" Wrought that for, which I-IE came, to bring out Rlor-1TEoUsNEss, TRUTH and __ JUSTICE, ‘ although TRUTH had" been cruciﬁed} RIGHT- EOUSNESS ‘end ‘ JUSTICE, delivered TRUTH fromi the bondage of cor- ruption, and brought TRUTH its real emancipation, its r._éa1 deliver- ance, ndi caused TRUTH to come’ fo,rthj.' into expression‘ observable. TRUTH could be observed the conscious mind’ of men.

'1‘I-IEGLORY‘ ‘OF GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS Oh! it is something to consider, the signiﬁcance of the mystery, therefore, TRUTH had‘ brought forth its‘ body _as_ anoutward expression so far reaching“, so far convincing, you ooii,l‘d, reel; “I-ldhdle ME and feel see that at Sim”-it lia:tth_ \ . $3 I Saturday, August 1st, 1936 not flesh and bones”, The Glory of GOD’,S RIGHTEOUSNESS brought TRUTH to; the surface, and caused TRUTH to eoihe forth into outer express,i_on\ through JUSTICE, and give TRUTH its real deliverance from the -bondage of corruption, and from -the power of the grave. That is the mystery. It was accomplished in the Person called JESUS. This was _scientiﬁc.

IN HIS , WILL; AND, MIND Ohl. it" is something to consider," therefore, I say ,as I have aforesaid, “men may come and men may go, but I will go on forever.” The mortal limited concepts of men may come forth as versions to them, they may be produced as -theories and doc- trines, and as though. they are sci- entiﬁc true, they may come forth into expression, they may ‘be diseemefa by you, you may think they. are , the? , RERFECT. DEAL and Expression’, but as GOD sees and as GOD nothing can exist in re- ality, , vvithout I-IIM, those things tha.t’would_ tend to sever you from Him mentally and spiritually, or even thoughtfully, in the least thought, -theyare your enemies, even if, it were, only for you» to discern it as enemy because‘ of -the Bless-' ings you might’ receive personally. By these different thoughts com- ing forth into expression, that would tend to sever you from ME and MY Impersonaland MY Mental and Spi- ritual it. .wom6 be’ sur- ﬁcient to! eohwhree; you-_‘ plainly,‘ as was sa‘i’d last Evening‘ or early this Sa;tur;.lay., ,August. 1st. 1986 Morning, what these. are enjoying who are lost in MY Will and lost in MY MIND, who are under MY Per- s_ona1"Ju,risdictio_n,. This is just a lit- tle, sketch and, reﬂection'of a percent of a fraction of a grain of what will be, Universally, when all’ are com- pletely-_ lost in MY win, and lost in, MY Mind. if-i’toi_i_J“iii'i~, YOII FROM YOUR BLESSING If you are seeking something, self- ishly for 9, selﬁsh purpose, it would be justiﬁable for you to relax’ your conscious mentality in the‘ way of conceiving and’ receiving and perceiv- ing ideas and opinions that are com- ing in‘ opposition to "ME; antagon- ism conveyed to, ME, conflicting to ME and to MY Version and MY Teaching for they are coming forth merely to, bring about a prohi-bita- tion, to prohibit ‘you from receiving MY Blessing, by trying to’ sever you from MY IMPERSONAL, MY IN- VISIBLE, yea,’ MY .Spi’ritu‘a‘l PRES- ENCE. By so doing, it would pro- hibit‘ you‘ and, sever you from com- ing into PERSONAL PRES- ENCE, and enjoying the limitless Blessings. O These thoughts are well worth considering, As I was mentioning yesterday Evening, some of whom you have seen go, have been ‘the same as these who are often with ME, but by deviating from MY Ver- sion‘, from MY Ideas‘ and from MY Opinions, those deviations brought about a prohibition, prohibiting them from being in fellowship . with ME Personally, hence, prohibiting them from enjoying in reality,‘ harmoni- ously, the Blessings that others ac- tually are enjoying, which, MY PERSONAL PRESENCE and other comforts and conveniencesl which My _PERSONAL PRESENCE is bringing. . RELAXATION gun " GREAT ESSENTIAL Oh! _it is something to consider—- the RELAXATION of your consci- ous mentality is the‘ great essential; to RELAX your conscious thoughts, especially from those who are in op- position; . , . . . . . . , . , those who are deviating, those who would de- s,1Ti”'_eWto have .you to deviate from MY V_é,rsi9‘n% it',weré_op1y for a. self- .7"<5‘¥.$!1°i11‘<'1' sfréséfully coiisiaér; the signiﬁcance of it, and - “SPOKEN WORD’? consider you would refuse to devi- ate, you would refuse to participate with mortal minds who were not ac- cording to MINE, Oh! it is some- thing to consider. Now in reference to the borrow- ing of money, etc.,—all know it is not according. to _MY Teaching to borrow anything. The Scripture plainly says: “Thou shalt lend unto many nations, but Thou shalt not borrow.” You may loan not expect- ing any pay. If you loan a person a penny, and expect them _to, pay you‘, you had just'_ well not loan them,,Vfor you have violated the Law of that particular quotation. If you loan a person anything, you must consider you are giving it to them, as being loaned to them without any consideration of compensation, This is -the Law and the Gospel‘ of JESUS CHRIST, the Law, of the Spirit of Life wiiicii was in Christ Jesus. These laws put forth into ex- pression, are being made real, tang- ible_'Mand,'_ practical for we are the Fulﬁllers of them, as we sang‘ our bodies‘ into subjection and live Evan- gelically, _ ' ' Oh‘! it is a; privilege to realizeeit. It is just as much wrong for you to loan a« person money and expect pay, as it is for you to refuse to loan it to them. Now if you have it to give to them, and you wish to give it to them, give it to -them with- out any consideration of compensa- tion, or of them returning that which you have, given, for the Mouth- of GOD has spoken it. The Mouth of GOD has said it, and will further declare it. . . _ . It is indeed wonder- dful! GIVING WITHOUT CONSIDERATION Now I. have’ not said it was not justifiable to loan. The ‘Scripture says: “Lend,” but it says “expect no pay,” of which’ in reality, is giv- ing without’ consideration. You are not considering compensation when you are lending from that degree of expression... My real children will not borrow. If they are My real Fol-_ lowers, they will not beg nor bor- row, and especially when they are not in desperate need of something. If they were apparently ‘destitute and did not have food nor raiment nor‘ house‘ or shelter to shelté'r them- séivcs, it would look‘ more roar, out tnosé“ who save‘ inciiey’ at ‘times, Rage 5 even in their pockets and go around trying to borrow, borrow from oth- ers, it is an outward expression of the dishonesty of the person, . for they are trying to get something from you when they have the means themselves, if they have it, It is indeed wonderful! I These thoughts are well worth considering. I have opened the way, and made the way,so plain, I can see legibly each ‘and every person should understand it. It is indeed wonderful! If you are hon- est, if you are true, you would not go about to borrow, you would not go about to seek something for nothing. Those who cannot meet these obligations, that they may take upon themselves, they would refuseto take such obligations that -they were not capable of meeting, and this is also Evangelical-am cording to My foregoing statement. It is written: “If a man starts to build a. tower, he should sit down and count‘ the cost‘ before he starts to build it.” If you do‘ not have means to ﬁnish it, it is an open ex- pression that you are not doing ac- cording to the Scripture, for you. should consider before you start it. If you do not have means to meet these obligations, you should not take the responsibility upon your- selves, ~ ' TRUE» ESSENCE OF RELIGION , This is simple talk, well worth considering. By so doing, you are bringing into your daily lives, and into your daily experience, this true essence of Religion, that which may be termed Religion, RIGHTEOUS- Nnss, TRUTH and JUSTICE as you express’ it scientiﬁcally. Oh! it is a privilege to’ live in this recognition, and to dial in on the FUNDAMENTAL continually, lo, the Spirit of MY PRESENCE can, and _ will be with you teaching WISDOM transcending all human understand- ing, For this purpose I came. I can- not stress that thought too vividly, for there are those who will come among us from -time to time, and will try to get you to do something, say something’ or act in some way expressible or in some way of ex- pression at MY Personal Absence, . you would not in MY Personal Pres- ence, a.n,d.i,f they can‘ get‘ you to do, say or «think inithe least wayof ex- Page ,6 ~ pression, or the least way expressible, you would not in MY Personal PRESENCE, such an act or expres-‘ sion will bring about a separation. You do not know how signiﬁcant it is to consider these things . . . these little no-harm things, such as that. ‘Just loan me the money-——the thirty cents ($.30), but. don’t say anything about it. I do not want FATHER to know it,” If you take that in then she has gotten between you and ME, as soon as you do it, unless you pull the -block out and the division be- tween us. She has brought about a separation. That is the mystery; so these thoughts are well worth con- sidering. When you consider some- one trying to rob you of your fel- lowship with GOD -by coming in be- tween you and your GOD, your HOPE of SALVATION, your HOPE for food, for raiments, for houses, and for shelter, such as GOD is actually giving, that is what those things will do;-—they will sever you from ME. It is indeed wonderful! It is indeed wonderful! IN HARMONY -' WITH FATHER “In the world you will have =trib- ulation, but in ME PEACE,” and as she said, ,“You may have all of the world, but without the right con- cept iand the recognition of GOD’S PRESENCE, and without the under- standing of GOD your FATHER, and , without being _in perfect harmony with HIM, all of your possessions will proﬁt you nothing. Yea! they will be just as chaff before the wind. It is indeed wonderful!‘ What does it proﬁt great men of wealth, hu- manly speaking, to come into pos- session of all of their millions? Look at those great mansions, sky—scraper buildings, aeroplanes and yachts and every other desirable Blessing, just for a little while, for a few brief years, and yet they cannot enjoy them in reality, ~ ' As I was saying the other day, “what would it proﬁt you to have all of the world, all of the wealth of the wor1d,iand yet have not the Spirit of MY PRESENCE?” You would be comfortless, you would be unsatisﬁed, even though you secured millions and-become to be ,super-in- -telligent from an intellectual point of . view. If you become to be the most iscien'tiﬁc_person ‘of our Light of Civ- -. The "SPOKEN WORD” ilization, _without the right concept and the recognition of GOD your SA- VIOUR, your LOVING FATHER and the Spirit of harmony with HIM, all of those things would proﬁt you noth- ing—you would ﬁnd yourselves still unsatisﬁed. ‘ Satisfaction comes in CHRIST. Get in GOD'S Will, for out of GOD’S Will there is no Satis- faction, there is no PEACE, there is no REST. ' FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD Take these thoughts to considera- tion, but in GOD’S Will and iii GOD'S MIND and in GOD’S SPIRIT, there are all things to satisfy and all thing, “satisﬁable,” and all things that you need, will be bountifully supplied, and ' you will not have an occasion to fret nor worry; you will not have an oc- casion to seek for it, for all of those things will come forth into ex- pression, for CHRIST is RICH and’ all you need. DENY yourself en- tirely, S and you will find, GOD is JUST and GOD is RIGHTEOUS. If for any cause you cannot come into possession of your fellowship with GOD harmoniously, it is for some ., cause, therefore, this cause for which you are not in fellowship with GOD, it may not be seen, known nor heard by man or by others, but still there is something which is a Heart Search- er which knows the secrets of your hearts, the thoughts of your minds, and every tendency and every fancy, every version, all of these different .1 versions and ideas and opinions that are not according’ to Mine. LEAST DEVIATION MEANS DIVISION These thoughts are well worth con- sidering. Then I say, if the enemy can get you to deviate in the least, by doing the least thing at MY Per- sonal Absence that you would not do in MY Personal PRESENCE, or can get you to say‘ the least thing and would‘ not want ME to know Personally, or consider it, observe it or see it, or understand it Personal- ly, that person or persons are sep- arating you from ME, and I AM PEACE. I AM JOY. I AM HAP- PINESS. I AM SUCCESS. I AM PROSPERITY. I AM all or the WEALTH in -the world. It is going to separate you from all of those things, for I represent them, even if you -take it from that point of view. ~ing —- '7 Saturday, August \'1st, 1936 ,i ' Although you may have your millions and be a multi-millionaire, unless you can whole-heartedly surrender and completely sacriﬁce your. whole life, if you allow the;least little thing to cause you to deviate and separate yourself from ME" mentally and Spir- itually, it will sever you from all of these Blessings you are enjoying, or desiring. That is the mystery,__ for I AM ALL of them. stand for eve- rything desirable a I AM the Ma- terialiaer of both it and them. THE HEARTS ,‘ , DESIRE , I AM the PERSONIFIED Expres- sion of your hearts’ desire from every angle of expression, therefore, if you deviate from ,ME and from Mine since you have claimed ,ME to be who I AM, you are deviating from each and all of these Blessings you are seek- SUCCESS, ~-LPROSPERITY, WEALTH, UNDERSTANDING, IN- TELLIGENCE, SCIENCE, INVEN- TION and any desirable Blessing you may‘ imagine, forall of these are in CHRIST of Whom you say I AM. You will ﬁnd yourself minus of all of these things, even though you have them in and under your juris- diction, and in your possession. Your will find yourselves severed from them, and will be without them, in reality. You will not be able to en- joy them.

GLORY BEGOT-TEN on THE FATHER , Consider the mystery and you will observe it, for the Word’ was made ﬂesh and dwelt among us, and we be- held His Glory. You could not be- hold the Glory of GOD ‘until HE made Himself ﬂ_esh——observable‘.to all that they might behold the Glory or GOD. Then I say, it is no longer merely an expression of an Heir and a Joint- Heir .with CHRIST, but. when the Glory is. discerned‘ concerning HIM . . who is the Author and the Finisher of -all things, when HE has materialized HIMSELF and made HIMSELF ﬂesh through reincarnation and , through i — Personiﬁcation, you can -behold His .“3§A' ‘ see, The ’ “‘ SPOKEN WORD” Glory as the Glory of the Only Be- gotten“ of the FATHER, full of Grace -and of TRUTH, and when this is . established_. in your consciousness or‘ ‘in your experience, of all of.I-Iis Full- ness, have all We received Grace for Grace, therefore, you will not be lim- ited to the Heirship Degree as a Joint-Heir with HIM. of all of _His Fullness will all receive, not _mere_ly, as co-partners as a col-worker,~.’no , longer merely as a co-tenant, but as -‘ Heirs and Joint-I-‘Ieirs;——ﬁrstly as co- tenants and co-workers, but lastly when you shall have accomplished those things in yourself. in reality, of His Fullness you will receive, as though it were allof it.

This has always been since the world began as it was in the Garden of Eden when the serpent beguiled Eve, coming with “beguilation” of.ex- pression, with“beguilation” of words, with the very spirit of “beguileness” to -beguile you and cause you to have guile in your mouth, deceit and de- ception to bring about a separation between you and your MAKER. That is what it is for, even though the enemy using _the individuals at -times, through graft and greed and through selﬁshness, they may know themselves in reality, that they are the repre- sentatives and the reincarnators. of the serpent-ship degree of expres- sion, to try to beguile you as did the serpent in the Garden of Eden. They, may not know it themselves, but through selﬁshness, through graft and greed, their sin-blinded eyes cannot They cannot see and know they are the incarnators and reincarnators of the serpent trying to beguile -that one that was made by the Will of GOD, as in the beginning in the Garden of Eden.

Up until very recent years, I wish to say, to convey the thought concerning non-selfishness, I did not, and.would not have a. car less than a seven passenger car. I desired to get a tenor twelve passenger car, if there would have been any pleasure cars made that would carry ten or twelve passengers. That is the Spirit and the Mind and the )Nature of GOD. 4A1l“of MY True Followers are . - partakers of the Nature and the Char- acteristics ~of CHRIST without ‘con- sideration of compensation or remu- » neration, or any suc.h expression. The Spirit of MY PRESENCE and MY .Nature will go, out for others un- selﬁshly, and when one attempts to do anything, the thought by the Na- ture of‘GOD is for another -to enjoy it, the same as themselves, and an-., other that is not especially connected as a relative or race, creed.-or. color.‘ Why should "I have’i%al:l‘3‘of?“these I-Iomesand Extensions as they,--may, be termed? I do not need them. As I used to say in Sayville, many years ago,—I said, “if I wereselﬁsh and looked on MYSELF as a, mortal per- son and,,vthose with whomiI may be concerned, I could have -been living in the most elaborate hotels of our present Light of Civilization, and not spend more thanhwhat I was spend- ing, even if I just looked upon it, ac- cording to the versions,-.o,f, men, in ._the.way I do see them. Mother was _i the only one who would have had any claim or any right to anything, , according to the natural, and I could ‘have, in spending hundreds of dollars‘ I daily, ‘even at that time, we could have travelled and seliishly enjoyed” everything life demands from the be- ginning even unto the end of life, even to the end of the span of life that would have been to ME, if I, had been a man in that state of ex- pression, because there would have been an end if 1 would have been selﬁsh. The same as some said to Mother, when we used to have the nice, they used ts sax .......y¢a:l's / ’MERCY for a _-selﬁsh " horde up for themselves treasures on 3 The “SPOKEN wom)” back, especially in the early days be- fore so many-—-or everybody got the privilege to drive cars, they would say “Mother, I wouldnot be carry- ing all of those common people around in my cars, if I were like you and FATHER.” 1 THE SCRIPTURES FULFILLED They only wanted it for self, and I never would attempt to have a car lessj than a seven passenger car, so Icould c'arry as many as possible, at least eight. That is the Nature of GOD.‘ ‘That is the Disposition, without compensation or considera- tion for compensation, or any re- turns as a Person. All I want the people to be, is HONEST, COMPE- TENT and TRUE, Of course I do ﬁnd by so doing, there are many who are self-indulgers, self-righteous and dishonest persons who will at- tempt to use .MY LOVE and MY purpose, to earth where the. -thieves shall break /through and steal, just the same as they did through Wall ,Street, for many years past. They did it, and the" Scripture was ‘fulﬁlled, and I shall fulﬁll it some more, if they do not release the means and put git to exchange unselfisvhly, and utilize it .for -RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, why I AM going to let thieves get in and steal and steal some more of i-t. The thieves are al- ready in there, but they do not know it. They are thieves themselves---a good many’ of them, therefore, ‘they will steal from themselves, because they have laid up for themselves ' treasures on earth, where moth and where rust corrupt, and where thieves -break through and steal. , That is the mystery, but RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, » they are riding through the landnow conquering and to conquer every- thing in opposition. It shall bring everything into subjection or trample it beneathythe power. That is the mystery, The Spirit of GOD’S PRES- ENCE‘ is going on conquering and to conquer continually. THE.

He did not depend on the great things of man, but he depended on the small things, yea, the little sling that was given him by inspiration. It was in- signiﬁcant apparently‘ to the great warriors inlhis day, but as I said the other, day, “the sword is sharp “and the pen is mightier than the sword."
