WE THANK YOU FATHER SOME TNTERESTING FACTS ABOUT AMERICA. The Controlling 0i ‘i The Hudson River’ ’ Nothing went further to enrage the American a n d urge them forward to a declaration of independence‘, than hiring people to fight against them. Congress answered by invading Canada. This was to prevent the governor of Canada, Sir Guy Carleton, from invading New York. Two lines of invasion were adopted by the Americans. Richard Montgomery, with 2,000 men, descended Lake Chrmplain and captured » Montreal; while Benedict Arnoldwith 1,200 men. and made wonderful march through the primeval wilder- ness of Main and reached Quebee. Presently, the two _ commanders joined forcer, on the last night of 1775 Fétde a disperate assault upon Quebee. They forced their way into the town, but Montgomery was killed and Arnold disadled, and the assault was finally re- pulsed. Reinforcement arrived for Carleton, so that June 1776 the Americans had been driven dack out of Canada, and Carleton resumed his preparations for invading New York. 0 While these things were going on, the British were driven from Boston. In March, General Washing- ton, occupied Dorchester Heights and compelled them to evacuate the town. Howe sailed away to Halifax, where he made ready for an expedition against the city of New York. Late in April, Washington moved t 0 to New York and prepared to defend the city. The Declaration of independence, at the time o f the battle of Bunker ‘Hill very few Americans looked . forward to any such thing as separation from Great Britain. But as it became more and more clearly im- possiable to head-off the declaration of independence. . to be cotinued CITY OF NEWARK THE LARGEST IN STATE Newark, is the largest city in the State of New Jersey. Refined copper is the leading manufactured product of Newark. while Paterson, is the principal city for the manufacture of silk, surpassing in this product, in both, variety and quantity, all other cities in the United States.

D. TIME: 11:25 A. M. Friday Morning had arrived; the Angles were about bright and early. They ‘weae as happy as larks in Summer. They were singing merrily and Praising FATHER, Wheresoever they were seen. They wanted to enjoy the beautiful day in the Mount- tain. By the time that big Bell sounded for Breakfast much of the beauty and grandeur of “The Park” had been seen, ‘for the Angles were about, some of them, as early as four o’clock in ‘ the Morning, overlooking the Land, gazing at the clearii"ripples of the water which caused a perpetual motion in theriver that flowed at the foot of the Mountain. The Bungalows and Cottages were particularly pleasing to the eye in their pretty new coat of paint of red and ivory. They bore names equally as charming as their appear. Some of the names of these Build- ings were "Joy,” “Harmony,” “Victory,” “Love,” “Good Will," “Wayshower,” “Bright and Morning-Star,” “Beautiful Light,” “Honesty,” and similar other significant names, which reflected their charms and imposed their attributes upon the on-looker and indweller. The Bungalows were attractive and ideal and perfectly fitted for the Summer Vacationist.’ The Cottages are beautifully furnished. They are modern and up-to-date. Every thing in Greenkill Park shows forth the Glory of the Handi- work of GOD. 7‘ As one walks on these grounds an unusual feeling of Holiness seems to embrce the individual, for certainly here is the one Place where the Consciousness _of the PRESENCE of GOD is recognized. Here is the Place where sTn shall not abound; for GOD FATHER DIVINE has'DECREED that the Sons and V Daughters of Righteousness shall dwell herein. Those who have made restitution of their wrong‘; compesated their fellowmen and now stand faultness before the Throne of ‘GOD and with- out reproach in the midst of the congregation oi the people. Now the Service of the Banquet begins, and Mother who is seated to the right of FATHER, withthe sound of the music from the Divine Orchestra, rises from her chair, and in ecstasy she staged a beautiful little Dance, like a little Fairy Maiden, in sweet humility and’Holness.' Her hnart was truly happy and she, with the great multitude, rejoiced in the PRESENCE of PAGE " the LORD FATHER DIVINE, Who had produced all of this Joy and brought all of ‘these Blessings within the reach of all- During the course of the Banquet many noble speeches were made, many beautiful Songs and Inspirations were played and _ sung; many Tesimonials of Praises and I Thanksgiving were heard and enjoyed by all. Spectators with deep interest and respect stood all aronnd the Building, listening to, and observing the unprecedented occasion. With all of the aforementioned pleasurable instances and incidents, there yet remained Something that could swell our hearts with more joy, and this one desire soon was granted, for at this moment the LORD arose, and great shouts and applau‘ ses rang out loud and true, while The LORD stood Sweetly and Meekly, waiting to Bless us all with the Gift of this Glorious MESSAGE, which is herewith released for the benefit of all mankind. SAVIOUR Our LOVE, Our, JOY and Our Life, Our PRECIOUS REDEEMER we THANK THEE. FATHER speaks as follows: PEACE EVERYBODY: “H . a ( Peace FATHER DEAR!” responsively greeted the multitude.) GOOD HEALTH! GOOD WILL! GOOD APPETITE, with Good Man- ners, Good Behaviour, Good Success and all Prosperity and Good Weather for all of us. Because we believe it, ‘ We receive it, and because We work harmoniously to- gether harmony will result in all of our endevors just because we work harmoniously together. Those who do not work exactly harmoniously, they will find inharm- onious conditions resulting, but those of you who will work harmoniously with the FUNDAMENTAL PRIN- CIPLE of Life, you will find harmonious conditions re- sulting in all of your endeavors, for harmony will bring harmonious results, but firstly you must know with whom to be in harmony and with what to be in har- mony. ~ . ‘ If you are in harmony with the inharmonious an- tagonistic and conflicting conflictors, you will produce the result of such, and the reaction ofiyour harmonious action with _inharmonious and antagonistic persons will cause inharmonious conditions to result in your expe rience. - Oh! it is a privilege to observe the significance of harmony, of the unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose firstly among us in the act of bringing about the Spirit of the Universal Brotherhood of man that A they might recognize the INFINITE FATHERHOOD of GOD among them.- When mankind learns to bring in his conscious realization, GOD as his FATHER and the only FATHERHOOD, then and there the Brother- hood of man will result by such a Recognition, for it will automatically cancelate and dispel all of the bro- therhoods of men, after the manner of the mortal version, and will cause them to unify themselves to?» " gether as one man at Jerusalem. When this shall have been accomplished among the peoples of the earth, they will not be peoples as many, but they all shall be one people and shall be one great Universal family as I have put forth this Morning the Sample and the Exa ample. W Just look at this beautiful Dining Room as it is V spread for each and all of us, of every seemig Nation, Language, Tongue and People. We are all unified together as one men at Jerusalem and we are will- ingly working cooperatively, to be independent and to reproduce the true Spirit of INDEPENDENCE that was declared by our great Country ofyears ago. Just a few days past we celebrated the Declaration of ‘ Independence as a Country, but what about an indivi- " I 1 dual Independence of which each of us should produce in our selves, by being self-respecting and self-sustain- ing and self-supporting that we might no longer be de- pendent on the help of others and to cause our descen- dants and others to become to be impactical, unprofita- ble and good-for-nothing.‘ That is why men today, agood many of them, are absolutely impractical, unprofitable!- and goodyfor-nothing because of our welfares. The dif- ferent Religious Charities and other charities as Well as the public Welfares, they have attempted to help those who stand in need, but by helping them, thousands of them have resorted to the different welfares ‘to get‘ along with ease. When the Scripture firstly declared in the “Six days shall thou labor- and do all of thy work but the seventh day- is the LORD’S Day or the Sabbath Day; in it Thou shall not do any manner of work.” . This was handed down through the the ages to let you and all mankind see and know work is profitable, but it is more honorable than profitable. By coopera- tion we find the working together will bring about the Universal Brotherhood of man on the Meterial Plain. We find Capital and Labor coming together in unity of the Spirt as we unify ourselves together individu- ally and cease to seek gains greedily for a selfish purp- ose. If we seek gain at all, let us seek it unselfishly, apparently unselfishly and for the good of others to the extreme reverse of that of selfishness. It is written: “That man who hath not eaten upon the mountains; the one who has not defiled his neigh- bor’s wife; etc. You will find these quotations in the 18th. chapter of Ezekiel for your consideration. When GOD spoke to the children of Israel saying, what mean ye that ye use this proverb concerning the Land of Israel saying “The fathers have eaten sour grapes and the beginning : children’s teeth are set on edge‘? .\ sdur grapes and the children’s teeth are set on edge.” j_-~»i’:? If you see your father’s/ error and will turn from "them, you shall surely live, “says the LORD. You have no longer an occasion to be in thegrave: “From ’ ‘ ‘dust thou art and to dust shalt thou return, “but to the extreme reverse you can be under the Jurisdiction and the Influence of the Blest, for “He who cometh to ME As I live, saith the V LORD GOD, ye‘ shall not have oe‘o*a‘eisiiie'hye>roore to use this proverb in Israel.’ saying, ‘The fathers have eaten ‘I shall never thirst. “Is not thisaprivilege, Dear Ones ' to live in the ACTUAL PRESENCE of GOD, believing Y so"vividly “the, reality of His MAJESTIY that you will no lohgr be thirsty,- you will no longer be hungry‘ for “He who believeth on Me shall never thirst, and whosoever cometh unto me shall never hunger.” These are the Wordsof Jesus as they are spoken, but they were handed down through the Christian Dis- pensation until this present day as a MESSAGE to be reiterated and re-spoken to this peopple in the fullfil ment of it in reality. All of you who believe, who ‘be- lieve on ME, you are not Spiritually .’thi_rsty, are you‘? (“No LORD!” responed the Assembly.) Are -you not Spiritually drinking from the Fauntain? You are mentally drinking from the Fountain that never runs dry. That is what it is all abo'ut.You are no longer thirsty, neither are you huugering. Oh! It is a privilege to realize what the very Name of GOD can do for you- It will keep you from thirsting in this drv and lonesome wilderness and in the mental and Spiritual desert places where they are Spiritually thirsty- you are no longer thirsty- you are no longer thirsting- are not telling you daily, cold-“ are they not telling you‘ “You need a‘ Spiritual Revival‘? But those of you of My Followers who are belieiving sincerely, you are no longer hungry and you are no longer thirsty Mentlally nor Spiri t- ually, for I AM bringing you the Mental and the Spirt- ual Food and Drink that you might eat and drink and live foreyer. I This’ is the great Spiritual Awakening. Men are ~ being awakened by the Spirit of My PRESENCE to the Light of this Understanding and the Recog- nition of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE. — \ Oh! it a privilege to live in the ACTUAL PRESENCE of GOD where the tree of Life isbloomirig, where there is REST for the weary; right here on"this Side of Jordon; this is a Mental state of consciousness and the Mental and Spiritual Jordon _ which you all have crossed, and are crossing; over .here_..in this Mentalyand Spiritual.

Here is REST for the Weary. , You are RESTING from vice and crime; your minds are no longer burdened with sin, they are no longer burdened with vice of ‘every kind. Why? Be- eause you have been CLEANSED by the RENEWIN G of your mind and you have become I to be NEW Creat- ures in reality, in the fulfilment of the Scripture. “I will make you NEW Creatures.’ Aren’ t you glad? Then I say you are on this side. On this Side, you can take of the Water of Life freely, —————————— —-you can sip of the Mental and Spiritual Mystery, I AM so freely reveal— - ing in this Light of Spiritual Civilization. ‘ I think I had better stop. (“No‘LORD!” commented the Assembly.) I know there are those of you in this Modern Civilization, as sin and vice and crime advances, you have desired and yearned and hungered and thirst after RIGHTEOUSN-ESS, but the Scripture is now fulfilled in your hearing: “He who ~ hungcrs and thirsts after RIGIITEOUSNESS shall be filled.” Aren’t you glad? (“So Glad!” assured the masses.) ‘ ‘ I shall lift up and I shall raise up a RIGHTEOUS N 33011- Is not this the beginning of the Creation of a New and Living Dispensation where the RIGHTEOUS Na- tion will be ESTABLISHED with a RIGHTEOUS Gov- ernment being incarnated in all of our laws in our Government? Can you ‘not see it beingﬁxed today by the Spirit of My PRESENCE by introducing tothe world of politics and to all of the politicians true Christianity as . Jesus the CHRIST put it in the beginning for the Estab- lishment of a NEW Kingdom? Aren’t you glad? It was not from the beginning to be any place above the sky. Jesus never taught it, for the sky is nowhere and is noth- ing, but everywhereiwhere there is nothing. So long as you can look in that direction, you will see that which is termed “the Sky.” Now what are all of the folks doing trying to go?) there? You can plainly see they are in delusion. They are seeking something in nothing, for the sky is nowhere and is nothing, but everywhere where there is ns0thing,——but what taught the Great LOVE-MASTER concerning the Mystery as was spoken of by one of our former Speak.- ers? Did HE not say, “The Kingdom of GOD cometh not with observationbut theKingdo-m of GOD is within you?” As it advances and expands mentally and Spiritu- ally until your state of consciousness shall have de- veloped into a Heavenly State of Consciousness instead of an earthy state of consciousness or instead of "the other place” state of consciousness. You know where that is. Now to be in “the other ‘place-ic’ ” state of conscious- ness will make you very miserable and will put you in a chaotic condition. The earthly state of consciousness is never satisﬁed. It is always seeking something and ap- parently ﬁnding nothirtg; but the Heavenly state of con- sciousness will bring into your conscious into materialization, your fondest Heavenlyfimagination and your fondest Heavenly vision, and cause both itand them to become to be made REAL, TANGIBLE and - PRACTICAL as we have it here this morning. Now aren’t you glad? (“So glad!” returned the multitude.)- Just as you see the outward expression of the Heavenly state of consciousness, even so will we have'it Uni- _ » versally when all mankind come to the state of conscious- ness in which I AM now living for I AM putting it out into expression among this people, causing them to be partakers of My Characteristics and My Nature in the How can we be real genuine American Citizens unless we as individuals produce the same Constitution in us as was written in the records as a Document to be con- sidered; and how can we be real American Citizens in reality, unless we produce the Spirit of Independence the same as the ‘Country as a Nation has declared it? The Declaration of Independenc as a nation was well worth considering, but muchmore or much better to be considered individually, that each of us might declare our individual In-dependence. Isn't that a wonderful privilege? When this shall have established in you all, there will be no more beggars in our Land. Everybody will learn how to be HONEST, COMPETENT and TRUE, SELF-RESPECTING, SELF-SUPPORTING, and INDEPENDENT‘, expressing the Independence of the. Country under’ which Government they are living, and A by expressing it, they are manifesting the true American. Citizenry ‘of the American Citizenship of this people. Aren’t you glad? , , You know there are those of -the politicians as well as some of the Religions who oppose ME because they know if. I continue I will RENOVATE the Country. They will not be able to continue in corruption as they have been, for politics in most of the different parties, you will ﬁnd corruption; therefore, there are those in the , different parties who will not accept of MY MESSAGE whole‘-heartedly because they know if they do, we will undermine all of the unrighteousness they have accumu- lated and “organated” and organized under the Consti- tution and under the Declaration of Independence. That is what it is all about, but we mean to continue until we. shall have accomplished that for which I came. I came to make legal the Law of the Spirit of Life that was in CHRIST JESUS. I AM transmitting It to the in- habitants of this people by and through Religion, but I shall bring It through legalization, and It shall become to be legal and real as much as any other law on the great records today. We shall legalize the very Life of Jesus; not only His Teaching but His very Life. We shall legalize His very Nature and His very Characteristics. Spirit of Modesty, Honesty, Obedience and Truth that they might be the outward expression of My Spirit and My MIND among you. V . "The Tree is told by the fruit it bears."

Continuation or FATHER’S MESSAGE , good fruit you know it by its fruit. If it bears evil fruit you know it by its fruit. You need not ask MB of MY Nature, My Disposition or of My Characteristics. Those who are faithful adherers to My Life and to My Teach- ing, they will be the ones to manifest it. Aren’t you glad? They will tell you as they live it and express it scientiﬁ- cally, exactly what I. AM doing, if they are true Follow- ers, and if they are adherring to My Teaching com- pletely. Then I say, “You are no longer thirsty. You are no longer thirsty for the Mental, the Spiritual and the Intellectual Food, for you have the Intellectual Food bestowed unto you and a plenty of it; nevertheless, for the sustenance of the body, the material food is essential and I believe you have by observation, of it a full and a wplenty.” Aren’t you glad? This is the outward expression as a sketch and a reﬂec- tion of a percent of a fraction of a grain of a percent of the signiﬁcance of the reality of the Spirit within you and what GOD‘ is actually doing for you and for all mankind. Now we are attempting to lift up a Standard for ﬁhis people, to lift them out of the ruts of proggers or beggars whichever, that they might live Evangelically whole-heartedly in the fulﬁlment of the Scripture as well as the Gospel. David declared in the Scripture: “I once was young but now I am old, and I have never seen the Righteous forsaken neither his seed begging bread.” Now you will tell the public who you are if you go around begging. If you are begging the welfares, you are telling the welfares you are not GOD'S Seed——- GO;D’S Children. Aren’t you glad? If the peoples of the earth collectively would UNIFY themselves together cooperatively and would lift up the Standard, all would be lifted above depressions, lacks, wants and limitations, and there would be no more need for welfares taking from the general public and from the tax collector’s budget, as they have been doing. Aren’t you glad? ("So glad!” voiced the people.) The time is not far off that I shall have millions and millions and millions in this Country as you are in this County at this particular juncture lifted ab-ove all of the welfares and charities standing INDEPENDENTLY in accord with the Constitution of the United States and in accord with the Declaration of Independence con- cerning it. Thatis why HE was born under the Law that the legal- ization of the CHRIST might be a realization to the coming Generation, and this is the coming Generation :of which HE was stressing. Aren’t you glad? (“So Glad!” shouted the multitude.) JESUS CHRIST I say was born under the Law that the legalization of His Nature, of His Characteristics and of His Life completely might become to be a reality. This is what I AM transmitting in this Dispensation.and / causing the millions to be the Reinculcators and the Re- incarnators of His Life and His ‘Teaching. As we live it p and express it scientiﬁcally and accurately, of course they will try to catch ME as they did the Body of Jesus, be- cause they do not desire the legalization of the Law of the Spirit of Life that was in HIM. They know if the legalization of the Law of the Spirit of Life that was in CHRIST JESUS would become to be a Living Reality and established, their kingdoms of unrighteousness would be torn down, but remember in the Sonship Degree of His Mission, He was "killable” or “Cruciﬁ- able,” but it has been long since declared, “In the FATHERSHIP DEGREE, CHRIST -nor GOD can not die. Aren’t you glad? (“So -Glad!” responded the As- sembly.) I will keep you all charged with the Magnetic Cur- rent of GOD'S INFINITENESS, of His Nature and of His Characteristics, and you will be partakers until you‘ realize it and others through you will realize the reality of GOD among you. . I need not say more. I believe the outward expression as a sketch and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a percent of a fraction of a grain of what GOD is actually doing is enough for you to see and to know by what _ you have seen. I need not say more. I have said enough at this time to stir up your pure mind. The legalization of CHRIST, of His Nature, of His Characteristics and of the Law that was in HIM, shall be a reality in all of our 1 present Government Universally. It could be said “Gov- ernments many” but as Government could be termed plural, I say “Government” and yet Governments as many, that you might understand it. The Law of the Spirit of Life as I have exempliﬁed It in My Followers and conveyed It to others shall be ESTABLISHED in all Governments throughout the Universe of this Civili- zation. I thank you.

Y.--—---Is written, they shall come from the East, West North and South to worship HIM. This was made" a livin greality at the Righteous Governments Forum meeting on Thursday evening July 1st, at the 126, Street extension, when Followers of the Peace Mission from Canada, California, Ohio and Settle Washington, gave thanks to Father Divine for permit- ting them to come to New York, to see His Holy Body. One brother from California said, “I have come home as. the Prodigal Son, never to roam again.” I am conv- inced that I cannot live consecrated to Father, unless I completely kill self. I only ask Him to permit me to stay in His Holy Love, right here with Him personally. Another brother from Seattle, Washington, said, I have been here before, and I thank Father for bringing me back Oh! brothers and sisters, he said, “you are blessed beyond measure, to be able to see the Body of GOD, at all times, when we are away from the Personal Body, and Father call us, nothing seems able to satisfy, until we reach and look Him--the soul satisfier. Still another brother from Ohio, said “I thank Father Divine for being God-Almighty in Bodily Form--I know He is, because while coming to New Nork, the car in which we were riding turned over, and not one of us received ascratch, now is’nt that wonderful? I thank Him.” The Preamle of the RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT’ Platform was recited and Planks discussed. A trio of little sisters from Ohio, sang several inspiring selections and were continually applaued. In closing they sang , again by special request. After announcements ‘by the chairman Miss Light, the meeting wrung finis. ---THANK YOU FATHER Men Héve Preached of God and Wrot e of God for Years FATHER DIVINE Personify God-As Tangible and Real New York, N. Y. ——- Although Father Divine was not Personally present at the Righteous Government Forum at 20 West 115th, Street, on Friday evening July 2, His Spirit and Mind drew men and women from all walks of life seeking a chance to see His Holy Body.--the Body of God Personified. I It was a continuation of the musical program which was held the previous Frieay evening, but was cut short because of time. On this occasion, the chairman Mr. Clarke, was forced to again give way to a great extent for the ‘mass of visitors, who desired to praise Father Divine; and closed his part of the program at 10 P. M. At this poit the Righteous Governmeot Executive chair- man introduced the guest speaker of the evening, Baron Von Blumburg, representing the World Fellowship of Faith; who had written Father asking to be allowed to speak at the Forum. Before introducing him however, he outlined to a great exent Father Divine’ s work and His accomplishments Father Divine he said,has brought Heaven to the earth and is making it Worth-while. Men have preached of God, but it took Father Divine to personify God, as Real and Tangible; thereforer mak ing Him a practical God. He then reminded the aud- ience of the Gospel trip to the Promised Land on July 8th, after which he introduced the spaker who read from several pages. The World Fellowship, which I represents works for Unity, Appreciation, Co-operation , Peace, and Brotherhood, these are our theme; Father Divine works for the common good of all people, and is making it REAL and Practical, We however, have one aim in common, and that is bringing lasting Peace to the world, we wholeheartedly indorse His work. Dr. ‘Broadman, who visits our Forums quite fre- quently was next called upon and said in part, I have a never met people who actually loved one another, as you do. The Commandments say we should, the churches spoke of it, but you live it. A follower from California, thank Father Divine for coming in a body. It was essential for Godto come in a Body he said.’ We have preached God for years, now Father Divine God is calling our bluff, here is the show-down I had to be drafted, but I am glad. Mr. Kerr a-Politician and Businessman when called up on to speak said I came here to talk Politics, but I am so much moved by your sincerety that all 1 want to do is to thank Father-God for the privilege of being » here in your midst. At this point the program was continued in the private dining hall abovs the auditorium the time being well passed for pudlic meetings, when Father is personally away. songs, inspirations and instrumental selections interspetsed the program, and one of Father's message was read- xe@1mwm»mwmmwm r@2g S?

I IN‘ (I - - - THE FOUNDATION OF CIVILIZATIUK Righteousness is one of the great stone which forms the first cornerstone of civilization. Civilazation is not. What we say about it, read. about it, or think about it. It is that which we do in deeds and actions. That in itself proves whether or not we are civilized. With- out Righteousness there is no civilization. Those of us who are righteous in our deeds and action know that this world is not highly civilized as some people claim it to be. ' Does a big army, navy or air force mean the preser- vation of Life, Happyness, Peace and Love‘? _No. It means the destruction .of lives, property, human- being and their happiness. These are uncivilized acts and any‘ people regardless of tongue nationality, race creed or color that submit to such things are uncivilized. Righteousness teaches us the FATHERHOOD of GOD and the Allness of GOD and the nothingness of man. All people are one. There is no race, creed, or color. There is no hatred, segregation, discrimi- nation, lynching, murdering, or race riots Where Righteousness prevails. Righteousness as our FATHER teaches us is the only means and Way to civilization. When FATHER came to us He first changed our mind giving us a Righteous mind then we became civilized. This civilization caused us to give up all instruments of distruction. So will all nations become civilized and- lay aside all implements of wariliving according to the law of Righteousness. I thank YOU FATHER for YOUR Love and Peace.

M. “What is ‘SINNNG AGAINST the HOLY GHOST?’ ” This question has been asked time and again by the Followers; it has also been asked by those of Christen- dom.‘ At" this time, FATHER makes clear this most . important ' inquiry. This will be a vital help to the . Generations of the Earth now, henceforth and forever. , ' It is, so we *are told, the only “unforgivable” sin. The Scripture records ’ it in this manner: Matt. 12-31, Mark 3-28, and Luke 12-10. (Mark 3-28): “Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blas- pheme: ' (Mark 3-29): But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy -Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.” . Read the MESSAGE on this subject as given by FATHER DIVINE, the GREAT TEACHER, i the DEAN of the UNIVERSE, the REVEALOR and UNFOLDER of Spiritual things, the KEEPER of the hidden mys- teries of the HEAVEN and the earth. BLESSED be the NAME of the LORD. Thank You FATHER DIVINE. , PEACE ' EVERYONE: (There was still much rejoicing as the result , of the appreciation for the Previous MESSAGE just given by the LORD. However, when FATHER arose, in a few seconds, a stillness swept over the whole audinece......) I know you feel good. . , , A thought I brought “What is SINNING AGAINST the HOLY GHOST? I thought for consideration, as it was apparently “a closed Book," that could not be interpreted, especially that particular quotation, yet it is open now or words of expression. A The very quotation answers the ques- tion. It is written: ' ’ ‘ “Every sin a man doeth shall be forgiven him, saving he that sinneth against th eHoly Ghost.” What cause and why is this word spoken? For what cause was it spoken? For why was it spoken? It was because they said JESUS had a devil, which was to say, the Spirit in JESUS was the Spirit of a devil, better known by MY Version,‘ “the other felloW;” hence, JESUS said, “Every sin a man doeth shall be forgiven him but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.”—or words to that effect. A -‘I thought that just then as the emotions were in expression, I knew the time had come a few days ago for ME to release the interpretation to the mys- tery of the Quotation, but as it ‘was an appropriate time apparently, when the Spirit was in Vibration, and a ‘thought went forth from some individual, the Spirit of these emotions must be the spirit‘ or “The other -fellow.” Now the problem or the long since asked question, has been answered. . . . You need not any longer ask the question, but whomsoever they may be who will speak a word against the Holy Spirit in the way of accusation, in the way of condemnation, in the way of classiﬁcation or qualifying the ‘Holy Spirit with that of the wicked spirit, _ that person, ac- cording to the Scripture, is sinning against the Holy Ghost. In your thoughts you should be careful, and carefully direct them that you might not speak a word against the Holy Spirit, for the Spiritual emotions and vibrations and expressions, they are the same, parably speaking, as money of America—-the means of ex- change in America. Money is real, but there are counterfeitefs.” I have heretofore explaind—if you are not well versed , in the Monetary System, and espcially in ﬁgures and the print of money, you may class a counterfeit dol- ,___,‘ ..../\«_ . lar as a real one; you cannot tell the difference unless you are somewhat expertly inclined. Now isn’t that wonderful. So it is with those of you among us, who may see the vibrations and emotions and demonstra- tions of the Spirit, you may not be able to tell the emotions, expressions and words, deeds and actions of -the Holy Spirit from that of th ewicked spirit, as it may be termed, therefore, you may unfortunately and unwillingly touch a live wire by the criticism and by the accusation of” an express=ion—in other words, by ;accusing the Holy Spirit to be the evil spirit, then and there the Scripture is fulﬁlled: _ I “Every sin a person doeth shall be forgiven him, ‘but he that sinneth against the Holy Ghost, or speak- .ing against the Holy Ghost, THERE IS NO FORGIVE- NESS.” . ,, These thoughts are well worth considering. That is why it is essential to prove yourselves workmen, rightly dividing the Word of Truth, that you might be able to discern between the just and the unjust, and be not deceived, for GOD is not mocked. Although ' there are vibrations and expressions and emotions, words deeds and actions that are so much in the likeness of the POSITIVE, the REAL and the TRUE, of the negative, it may be a matter of impossibility‘ f-or you to tell .it., Now isn’t that wonderful; but I thought I would call your attention to that Message, to this especial quotation of JESUS, that you might discern the signiﬁcance of being watchful and mindful how you entertain or desrecognize the strange emotions and expressions ‘and vibrations of the Spirit, as visitors coming in our midst. As I have been telling you from time to time, for a number of years, wheresoever there is real money, there is also counterfeit money in that Country. There a.nd false representatives who will imitate the real. Mankind as a whole in part, before I came, were shaped up in iniquity and born in sin. They have been brought up and shaped in their ways, deeds and action in falsity -by nature, handed down from their ancestors. Now isn’t that wonderful! The major- ity of them, especially in the early modern time, have from start to ﬁnish, through cos- metics and other expressions, being led by them, by been “make-up” the tendencies of others transmitted to them-—false hair, false teeth, everything fals about them, where they could make up or make up for you. You would use the falsity at times rather than the real, which GOD ,HIMSELF made for you. Now isn’t that won- derful. Therefore, the false has had sway heretofore, before I came. Men would rather see you falsely manifested and manifesting falsity than to manifest the REALITY. Now isn’t that wonderfu1!_ There are those who have beautiful skin, according to the ﬂesh, ‘who would at- tempt to change their personal appearance for a sel- '6‘ ﬁsh purpose to express falsity. False make-up, false I words, false deeds,_ false actions and all sorts of fal- sity have been the portions of the nation of the earth, but CHRIST came to bring about RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH, JUSTICE, and to give you an accurate weight. Since GOD is judging with the Spirit of EQUITY, HE will judge accurately, and will let you see and know falsity is not true; falsity is not real, but mankind enjoys that which is false more than that which is ‘real. Thatfwhich is the most pleasing to the eye of man as a whole, is the Hand of Art, be- tween the Hand of Art and the Hand ofNature. The Hand of Nature should be more appealing and more appeasing, but ordinarily the Hand of Art is more appeasing to the conscious mentality of hu- manity than the Hand of Nature. Oh! it is some- thing to consider, between the bait concerning the mystery. It may be debated in a debating society, but as a rule, if the Hand of Art is argued by those who are well alert and qualiﬁed for arguing as debators, they can pretty well bring out the point -very clearly that the Hand of Art is more appealing and more ap- peasing to the average person, nevertheless, the Hand of Nature is REAL, the Hand of Art is the symbol, the Hand of Art is the false; the Hand of Nature is REAL, therefore, I say, in every expression» of life, there are divers kinds of. vibrations and unfoldments manifested among the people—while there are those of the REAL, the false is copied after the REAL. When the REAL comes forth into expression, the false will drift off from th REAL and endeavor to establish it- self an organization of falsity as a symbol of the REAL. Dancing and every other emotional expression first came from HEAVEN apparently, from the HEAVEN- LY state of expression, by‘ the reality of the inspira- ation of the Spirit of GOD’S PRESENCE as trans- mitted that caused man to move spontaneously and voluntarily in the way of dancing; but others who lived in mortal consciousness brought ‘it down» through the world into the underworld and into vice and crime for selﬁs_h purposes and as expressions of falsity copied after the fashion of the outward expression of that which Was REAL THAT THEY MIGHT MAKE MERCHANDISE OF YOU, as said the Scriptures. Now isn’t that wonderful! ‘There are many things’ I could say along this line, but time at this juncture will not permit. I be- lieve I have said enough concerning it to stir up your pure mind that you might learn from now on to be careful how you speak against the Spirit and Spiritual emotions, unless the Spirit itself has told you the difference between the two expressions, wheth- er they be the POSITIVE or the negative. Isn’t that wonderful! . May these words mean a Blessing to those who are critics or critically inclined, for you may attempt to , . -:v-r-/‘- .«PW~9 __ ._.»~~..... ,_ — p _ - V . .,.—— ax‘ .- ‘ . _........——...———..—--.~.......r;, A- K'_‘.,,,‘_,..... . _ -, .¢-—--;~/.4"‘V"“-‘~”'*’ “ ‘ —..-v-».—-.~'=~"‘ ii’ :_,~,.,,,,.,_,_._. ._.....~.-- ‘I A __’_,____’._,’,...V 4--¢."*_-_~" -criticize something that might be the real Spirit of the DIVINE MIND. You may lay hands on something Mentally and Spiritually critically, as a critic, and it may be something that you should not touch. It may be somehting that your supposition has caused you to believe erroneously concerning the mystery, therefore, be watchful and mindful that you will not be a critic unless you know deﬁnitely whatsoever it may be, the Spirit has told you plainly. Isn’t that wonderful! On another occasion it is written: “Be able to COMPREHEND with all the Saints.” It is a Blessing when you are qualiﬁed Mentally and Spir- itually to harmonize so harmoniously with the emotions and -expressions and vibrations of all until you can draw a line of demarcation through the Spirit of MY PR-ES- ENCE by MY Spirit telling you. I thank you. PEACE EVERYONE: ‘ Those of us who have dined, we will “PASS OUT and PASS ON and PASS AWAY” quickly and quietly please, for‘ there are a good many of the others who would desire to eat.

T [F A GREATTMAN IS COMING TO YOUR City You Would Decorate lt Beautifully Why Not Decorate for GOD FATHER’S LECTURE AT THE BANQUET TABLE DIVINE G-REENKILL PARK PROMISED LAND— MONDAY, JULY 26, 1937 A. D. F. D. Time 8:50 P. M. To the joy and pleasure of the Promised Land Angels, Monday morning found the Personal Body still in the Pr'omised Land, and as they ﬁnished their daily tasks, they joined Father at the Beautiful Green. kill Park, to partak of the Bountiful Blessings that HE bestows upon one and all. As the banqueters dined at the evening Banquet, many visitors came and took seats and observed all that was going on, and in the midst of the meal, Father arose merely for the purpose of making an an- nouncement, which to the enjoyment of all who were I blessed to be present on this occasion, turned out to be a Glorious Message, ﬂowing from the Wells of Salvation, from the DEAN OF THE UNIVERSE, Himself. What a privilege and an opportunity for us, es- pecially those who were not privileged, before Father came Personally on the scene——_to even enter the gates of such a Mansion, without paying an exorbitant price, that now, anyone is free and welcome to enter the premises, providing they are willing to live Evangeli- ,/ cally, whilst they aer. on the Grounds. Likewise, they are also privilged to hear these Wonderful Messages that are delivered by Father,‘ as a FREE GIFT to Humanity, and as GRATIS to all Mankind. Read these Beautiful Words from the Lips of our Sweet Father and absorb them, for they are food for the BODY, MIND and SOUL. After the testimony of one of the sisters, Father spoke as follows: Peace Everyone! (“Peace Father Dear,” joyously responded the Angels). Good Health, Good Will and a Good Appetite,—Good Manners and Good Behavior, all Wisdom, all Knowledge and all understanding, with Good Luck and a Good Life. We are assembled this evening,——it may appear as if though it is a little public gathering, but this is merely a slight sketch and a reﬂection of -a per cent of a fraction of a grain of a matter of expression, daily. I just wish to con- vey that thought to those of our friends of whom have not had the pleasure "of being in our midst before, and I wish to convey the thought to them that some of our emotions and expressions may sound a little radical and fanatical at times, but it is to be considered ‘after you understand what it is all about. I am quite sure you all will be able to appreciate the emotions and enthusiasm of MY followers. According to the last speaker, thousands and thou- sands of people have been healed from sickness and diseases that were incurable,-—they have been lifted from vice and from crime, they have been lifted from every immodest habit, and they have been redeemed from among men from every other angle, even in ways that are commonly known as RIGHTEOUS WAYS among the children of men. Those things that are not the expression of MODESTY, HONESTY, COM- PETENCE and TRUTH, these MY followers have been redeemed from those things. Hence, they have been awakened and they are stirred and ﬁlled with enthus- iasm, because of the limitless Blessings they have received and are still receiving. Not one of MY REAL followers is on the Welfare, though they run into the‘ millions, and daily as they are converted into this .. understanding, from such conditions they are lifted, and they recognize GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE im- mediately, by being lifted from such conditions as none other could lift them. That is why they SAY as they have said, and that is why they BELIEVE as they have believed, and that is why they ACT as they have acted, in the expression of SINCERE DEVOTION and ‘LOVE for Him of Whom they declare to be GOD! It is not so much about what I may say concerning MYSELF as an individual, but it is What I have Caused THEM to be and what I win cause millions of others to be. I heard Christianity say through one of it’s com- positions: A._ .5” 51- -, 1‘ __..__i . “' . From sinking sands He lifted me, With tender Hands He lifted me.’ This does not mean being lifted with PHYSICAL Hands, neither from MATERIAL sinking sand but from the sinking sand of the mortal versions of men upon which they have been founded and have been building upon——from such conditions of the mind I have lifted them, that they might recognize GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE and live according to same. If a great man is coming to your City, you would expect to decorate your City BEAUTIFULLY. Whilst you are having your City decorated, you would desire to have‘ it in a SANITARY condition. Why would you? It is because of the GREATNESS of that man honor you have for that man, would cause the reﬂec- honor you have for that mon, would cause the reﬂec- tion_ from the honor you have for him, to be reﬂected and manifested in yourself and in your surroundings, to -bring about a SANITARY condition in that way of expression, because of your appreciation for the visitor you are expecting. So it is with those of MY followers who have come to the conscious realization of the ACTUAL PRESENCE OF GOD, those who have convinced themselves conclusively by the WORKS of Him Who liveth forever, that GOD is EVER-PRESENT with them, they are end-eavoring to live accordingly, they are endeavoring to live and act PERSONALLY, and in their wonns and ACTIONS, according to one being in th-e ACTUAL PRESENCE of a PERFECT person; for this causes them to act more accurately and speak more correctly, that they might express that of which I have stressed in My Messages-—GOOD HEALTH, GOOD WILL and a. GOOD APPETITE, with GOOD MANNERS and GOOD BEHAVIOR...... these expressions will come automatically, if you rec- ognize the PERFECT person in person, as EVER- PRESENT with you. So, the convincing of Mankind of- GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE, is the Great lvllystery and fulﬁllment of the Mission of Jesus the Great Love Master. I What said the Scripture concerning the saviour? “His Name shall be called EMANUEL, being interpreted-—GOD IS WITH US!” The Mission of Christ as a Person, was to convince Mankind, GOD WAS WITH THEM, and by convincing them GOD WAS AND IS WITH THEM, such a con- viction will cause them to act more PERFECTLY and try to be more ACCURATE in all of their ACTIONS, WORDS and DEALINGS, because they are recognizing the PERFECT ONE being with them. The Teaching of the OMNIPRESENCE OF GOD is the Great Teach- . ing, that you might recognize GOD’S ACTUAL PRES- ENCE, O1‘ realize GOD IS PRESENT EVERYWHERE. It is a Great Expression, but now much more great it is to observe and understand GOD IS EVER-PRES- ENT WITH YOU, wheresoever you are, the same as you are convinced that GOD is PRESENT WHERE I AM. It will cause you to even so much as attempt to act in your emotions, more_PERFECTLY—your very emotions and actions will express the Modesty of the Christ, His Words, His Deeds and His Actions,- ac- cording to your conscious conviction; for this cause, in bringing Mankind to the conscious realization of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE, we have accomplished a GREAT WORK, that they might learn to act AC- CURATELY or PERFECTLY in words, deeds and ac- tions among the children of men, because they are conscious of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE. If you might retrace your thoughts‘ from the Mental and Spiritual Plane for consideration, you could consider what we are demonstrating. Is it not plain to see the outward expression is but a slight sketch and a reﬂection of the condition of the mind within? The PERFECT MIND, the PURE MIND, the CLEAN MIND, will express the Spirit of CLEANLINESS in the outward expression of his or her surrounding. _ “CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS,” there- fore the outward expression of the individual is but the Mental and" Spiritual conception manifested. For this cause we are endeavoring to tell Mankind that GOD as a LIVING FACTOR in the hearts and lives of the True and Faithful, will bring PEACE and HARMONY in their surroundings, as they have it within themselves, MENTALLY. I Again I wish to say, the ABUNDANCE of the FULLNESS OF ALL GOOD THINGS, IS IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS or‘ GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE. and your conscious conviction of His Presence, will create the ABUNDANCE OF THE FULLNESS in your conception. The things you may hold in mind. may not be MATERIALLY manifested, but as you hold it vividly in your consciousness and think upon it consciously, by the relaxation of your conscious mentality, that which" you have been thinking upon, will take form in some way at times, unseen and un- known. When you arise, or in other words——mentally and spiritually awake, you will observe that which~ you had first preconceived in your thought, -- you had forgotten all about it, but it did take form and was MATERIALLY manifested and brought out, that Mankind might observe that which was ﬁrstly merely an idea, invisible. For this cause we are thinking along SCIENTIFIC ADVANCED SPIRITUAL LINES, that this Spiritual Advanced Civilization might SPIR- ITUALLY advance itself with more power than that of gravitation, to bring it to the Earth. I said, with more power and more force than that of gravitation, to bring it to the Earth. Why is it? It is because of the recognition of the ASCENDING SPIRIT. When CHRIST is recognized in you as individuals, you will have an ASCENDING SPIRIT, whether it be Mental, Spiritual or Physical, on any Plane whatso- ever,--iyou may consider you will have an ASCENDING SPIRIT, and not a‘DESCENDING SPIRIT. Christ AS- CENDED after He was resurrected. Those of you who are partakers of HIS Nature and His Character- istics, you will have that ASCENDING SPIRIT, wheth- er you be functioning on the Material Pla-ne through Sociality, or any other expression, you will have am- bition to ASCEND from one degree of Grace . to an- other. It is true, when Jesus the Christ was cruciﬁed, He DESCENDED, but when He was resurrected, He ASCENDED. As an abstract expression of the AS- CENSION of His Children, in other words, God’s children who would be partakers of His Nature, they too, as well as He, would have that ASCENDING SPIRIT. . Functioning on the Material Plane Socially, Politi- cally, Intellectually "or otherwise, realize this one thing —i_f you have the ‘Christ Consciousness within you, you will also ASCEND. You cannot descend, you can- ,."not deteriorate, you cannot descend to the low level -of you real self, but to the extreme reverse, you will ‘be ASCENDING and ASCENDING, until you ASCEND to PERFECTION, for it has long since been declared: “The Path of the JUST glows brighter and brighter, Until the PERFECT DAY.” Why is it FATHER DIVINE stresses the signiﬁc- ance of followers being in POLITICS and other Worldly expressions? Christ in His Own Majesty, LOVE and MERCY, through His condescension, came to the Earth Plane to show Mankind just what they SHOULD 'do,‘ that they might do even as He HAS done and even as He IS DOING. Then I say, Christ arises in every Field of Endeavor as the AUTHOR and the ‘FINISHER of all GOOD things, and will not only be the AUTHOR and the FINISHER, but will be the great INCREASER and MULTIPLIER, the REAL BLESSER of all of HIS. Christ in you will abundantly bless you, will prosper you in all you do, not only in those things that are termed SPIRITUAL, but on the MATERIAL especially. Why? Because. THERE is where you need your Blessing. If you ever did need a, Blessing or need to be Blessed, it is on the MATERIAL PLANE where you are living, where trials and tri-bula- tions are increasing, where they are multiplied daily among the peopl-e——THERE is where you need the “PRESENCE of your SAVIOUR, your LORD and your REDEEMER from those conditions-—that is why I said: LO, I AM WITH YOU! ‘YES, I SAID GOD ON THE MATERIAL PLANE! Aren’t you -glad! (“Yes, we are glad, Father,” re-Bounded the Voices of the Angels) .” I DO NOT MEAN TO SAY .“GOD IN A ROLLS ROYCE,” but GOD on the MAT- , ,, . ,V,. .,r,.. .r_, ,,,...,..._.V,.:.. .‘....,, .4, ERIAL PLANE, walking on the Earth, going forth conquering and to conquer, coming as the lowest among the children of men," that He might reach their condition and that He might Redeem them: Aren't you glad! (“So glad Father,” was the immediate res- ponse”) . There is where you need your Blessing, there is where you need GOD’S PRESENCE—-in your trouble, in your trials and _in your I-tribulations-there is where you need ME! Is it not written: “Call on Me in the day of trouble and I WILL deliver you?” Then you can plainly see deﬁnitely, the great signiﬁc- ance of GOD'S PRESENCE is to be with you in trouble, trials and tribulations, and in your most in- signiﬁcant state ‘of expression, that He might be a ZBLESSING and a SUPER BLESSING for you. Aren't you glad! The most insigniﬁcant, the most illiterate, the most immoral person, and the most degraded person,-—-there is where you may ﬁnd GOD in Mercy and Compassion, to lift them from those conditions, for Christ is their REDEEMER, Truly might have the Christ said: “I came not to call the RIGHTEOUS but sinners to repentance”... . the same Spirit is speaking today. Those who were most insigniﬁcant, those who were most degraded, those who were most illiterate, those of the most poor among the people,——they are the ones to whom Christ came as a REDEEMER, their LORD and their ‘SAVIOUR. ‘Aren’t you glad! (“Truly glad Father,” assuredly responded the Listeners). For this cause we are rejoicing to know, through the CONDESCENSION of the Christ, by His CONDESCENSION to the lowest parts of the Earth, gettig in the hearts and the minds of the most degraded, will LIFT them and cause them to also ASCEND with Him and be ONE with , Him, wheresoever He is, if it is in Spirit or in the Flesh-—there will Christ be with you as the REDEEM- ER and the SAVIOUR of all of you. It is a privilege dear ones, to recognize GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE! I cannot stress it too vividly, you can see I have MATERIALIZED it. That which you can vividly vis- ualize, you can .ma.terialize; that which you can con- tinue to stress vividly, you can bring it into material- lzation, for if you think upon it vividly—as your Mak- er being the CREATOR, you will recreate that which has been created and will materially manifest it. There are many things I could say, but I did not ‘arise at this instance to say not even anything like what I have said, so much as I have said, whichever-— but as MY Spirit moves, It causes me to speak voll- tionally and spontaneously, because of the great inner urge desiring to reach Mankind on the Plane wherein they stand, to speak in their language, that they might understand. When: they understand and believe, they, too will receive and be Blessed with you, even as ye -._. - v—A.4__«~_.____.:.—::.. .,_ i .. ,.,,. A ._; r..._..\_.._.. V\¥,—.«-«—-———._.r_-,,:*/LL.-‘es..- are. But as Isaid, the ASCENSION of Christ, meant the ASCENSION oi the children of men, that Christ might ASCEND in them, and by so doing, they would be REDEEMED from all undesirable conditions, where they have been. That is the Mystery! , Christ has ARISEN, no longr theoretically, no longer iinaginarily I may say, but in reality, Christ has RISEN and has LIFTED this People and millions from lacks and wants and depresions, and from the lowly state of expression. They shall no longer be PAUPERS, they shall no longer be BEGGARS, they shall no longer be FRAUDERS and DECEIVERS and DIS- HONEST PERSONS, for the Cleansing Grace of your Lord and your Saviour through his condescension, will LIFT them and change them MENTALLY and SPIRIT- UALLY, and continually cause them to be NEW CREA- TURES. That is the Mystery! The time cometh and now is, as you heard one of the speakers say-—If you are ‘ persecuted for RIGHT- NESS SAKE, ya if you are persecuted for RIGHT- EOUSNESS SAKE, you should rejoice and be exceed- ingly glad, for great will be the unfoldment of GOD in your life and in your affairs. Aren’t you glad! THAT IS WHAT IT ISALLABOUT! That is why GOD unfolds Himself , every hour, even though the BUD MAY HAVE A BITTER TASTE, the FLOWER IS SWEET TODAY! No longer under the influence of the ‘spirit of wickedness, imodesty and immorality- those -tendencies shall no longer have dominion over this People, for the very Spirit of Christ as the RE- DEEMER, is The CLEANSER from all those tendencies, and being with them, causing them to take on HIS Nature and His Characteristics, naturally He cleanses them by the Spirit of His Presence and causes them to be partakers of HIS Nature automatically, for ‘Evil communication corrupts GOOD MORAL; ill qual- ities are catching as well as diseases, and a man is known by the company he keeps:’ they HAVE BEEN partakers of those undesirable tendencies and pleas- ures I. and expressions, by COMMUNICATION. Now, to the extreme reverse of such an expression, by com- munication with the LORD and SAVIOUR, and by the recognition of HIS PRESENCE, they will think differently and act differently CHARACTERISTICALLY. Now isn’t THAT Wonderful! (So Wonderful Father Dear,’ sanctioned the Hearers) . They will even have different CHARACTERISTICS, they will lose their IDENTITY completely, they will be NEW CREATURES by characteristics and by ex- pression, because they will express all of their actions DIFFERENTLY by the RENEWING of thier minds—- they have been TRANSFORMED, NOW. THEY CAN PROVE WHAT IS GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD! That is what it is all about! Rejoice in that the sketch and reﬂection of a percent of the fraction’ of the grain of the Mystery of it was revealed in the parable, when GOD through the inventor of Electricity invented. it, telling you of ,th Mystery of how GOD would enter his People and how He would express Himself as the LIGHT to the World, and as the REDEEMER of all Mankind. The invention of Electricity I say, was just a sketch and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain of the parable in the Mystery of the invention, telling Mankind concerning GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE and how He COULD and WOULD BE with them. Once upon a time electricity was unknown, before the invention—once upon a time it was only discerned as a DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF NATURE, something’ not "to be interfered with, but GOD through inspiration by Science and Invention, brought ‘about the Great Mystery in the parable, that you might. see wha-t GOD will do for the people and how He wﬂl be a REALITY among 'them, as REAL and as PRACTICAL as the Principle of MATHEMATICS, and as the Invention of ELECTRICITY. I need not say more, but. as Jesus said and did all things, He said and did in parables- He spake after the manner of men, that they might be able to understand Him. He spoke in THEIR lan- guage that they might understand it, He spoke in their AGRICULTURAL language. When He said: ‘The Sower went forth to sow seeds,’—.-speaking in AGRICULTURAL terms that they might understand; . even so speak I concerning these things. I will speak in your own PRESENT DAY LANGUAGE from a Scien- tiﬁc point of view, that you might understand Me, even as I understand you. Oh it is a privilege to live in the ACTUAL PRES- ENCE of GOD, where GOD is active on duty and at HOME at all times. GOD has always, been: present with A you, but you have not been conscious of it. GOD is as much in .. one part of the World as He is’in another or any other, but Mankind is not conscious of it. Because they are not conscious. of GOD’S PRESENCE, GOD cannot express Himself effectively. for them, but when they are conscious of GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE, GOD can and will express himself effectively for them, according to His ACTUAL PRESENCE,» I am speaking about His ACTUAL PRESENCE! GOD is PRESENT everywhere, «but GOD is not ACTING as He is present in all places, because there are those who do not re- cognize His PRESENCE and they will not hold Him in consideration, as being on ACTIVE DUTY and AT HOME at all times. We hold GOD in consciousness as being on ACTIVE DUTY and AT HOME AT ALL TIMES! EVER—PRESENT and AT HOME AT ALL TIMES, wheresoever He is—therefore, whatsoever He BIDS as said the Mouth that was called the Mouth of Jesus: ‘WHATSOEVER HE BIDS, YOU DO IT! Why? Because we hold Him in consciousness and in consideration as being EVER—PRESENT and on ACT- IVE DUTY and AT HOME AT ALL TIMES, where- soever He is. Then we will always do whatsoever He _.;,..,__p...-V -—~..,o--~ - -\..a%.--.- .$ ..—.,-,-».__~..\ ..... nu... ...,..4-...7.....—-.—;.—.»-v .~ ,. ......_3.e-~ 1.‘-—x _AA:_‘_‘_¥‘_,,_,v,‘_’w.,.... .. \- . .-..—r ~—~,-— _¢-.- .-._.....-.-»q‘u&— _ -...--am... . .-5-.-aw».-s-2-en :——r-vvr-‘-""‘ i _ . ~.....A’ ~.—.-».—-.;..,,,p~xr -r‘_-——- - “i—7*3—" *.

Just look at the Unfoldmlent of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE! The Materialization of Spiritual things and the SPIRITUALIZATION of Material things. GOD SPIRITUALIZES material things, and GOD MATER- IALIZES spiritual things. GOD UNIFIES the Material and the Spiritual, by the Material HARMONIZING with Him. Aren’t. you glad? (‘So glad Father,’ en- thusiastically echoed the Voices in unison). I believe I have said enough to stir up your Pure Minds, as I had arisen to make an announcement and to convey a ‘thought, just what I had in Mind-—I know you all would like to stay all night. Would you not? (‘Ye~s, Father Dear, we would,’ assuringly responded the True and Faithful). But we not wish to bore anyone, we wish to convey the Message of Truth and just enough. in HOMEOPATHIC DOSES—we do not wish to give too much, more than you _can digest. (To this remark, the Angels and also the Visitors, burst out in laughter.) For this cause, at This Juncture I am‘ refraining from speaking—it may be, after we shall have had the reading of the Word, one of My former Lectures published in the Spoken Word, I may have something else to say, whilst in the mean time, we would be pleased to hear from any of our visiting friends—if they would like to have a word to say. I THANK YOU! (After the conclusion of Father’s Beautiful Mes- sage,»a Message was read from the latest Spoken Word, the Table was dismissed—for after hearing Father's Personal Words and a Message, no one felt moved to speak, for all was WELL SAID AND DONE).

D. Archbishop Francis’ Letter of Acceptance TWO RUTHERFORD PLACE New York N_ July 4, 1937 I Dear Father Divine: Peace! Many thanks indeed for YOUR very kind invitation to be YOUR guest at the opening of the new Headquarters in. The Promised Land. It is in YOUR characteristic kindliness to thus remember me. I shall be very happy to accept YOUR invitation. Father Victor and I will be at the Boat at the scheduled time, and we anticipate the happy time that we always have when we are with YOU and the faith- ful followers. rWith all good wishes, I am, Faithfully, William H. Francis Archbishop A A A AAAAAA A AA A.A Archbishop Wm. H. Francis, however, upon‘ request of someone, absented himself from‘ the Demonstration. 1"?‘ ‘* ‘. /~ EDITORIAL Peace We are thanking Father Divine for having brought us together in this common human brotherhood, in which those ‘of us who know HIM in reality are in one ‘accord in expressing our oneness of Spirit, Mind, Pur- pose and Aim. _ It is our comforting satisfaction that our faith in Him gives us the victory over sickness, lacks, wants, and over every seeming adverse conditions and causes us to know that he is our only Hope for salvation and the only Principle to which all nations, peoples and creeds . must eventually bow. Moreover, our hearts are glad, because it is our privilege to praise Him, to glorify His Holy Name and to express our conscious recognition of Him as the Glorious Embodiment of the Fatherhood of God and of this Righteous Government which He has called into action for the good of humanity. Opening the pages of history, we ﬁnd that man- kind has always suffered from “man’s inhumanity to man.” None of the various governments ‘could change this condition. As one political party after another rose into power, failed and was then overthrown, the peoples of the world still inherited governmental cor- ruption, human failurs of every‘ kind, the limitations of races, colors and creeds and the wrongs, sorrows and injustices of man’s system of government. In, our effort to ﬁnd a power that would free us from these conditions, most of us turned to the or- ganized church, with its divisions and human concept of things; many of us became devoted followers of the various social organizations; and still others were de- ciples of some new relgious thought, which was ex- pressed by the versions of men. To the disappoint- ment ‘of our troubled hearts all of these human ‘in- stitutions have failed us. But now we are rejoicing because the time that has been shall be no more; for Father Divine has come‘ with His Righteous Government as a blessing and as a free gift to mankind. His Inﬁnite Spiri is transmitting Righteousness, Justice and Truth into the minds of the people, and thus we do know that the time is not far distant when we shall be completely emancipated from all human oppression, from all corruption in government " and from political dishonesty the affairs of -the people, so that a Righteous Government, in reality, ‘ shall be universally established and all mankind shall sing with us .“All Glory and Honor to God, Father ...

However, I hope you are well, healthy and happy. Nevertheless, matters not what may have been the cause of your failure to attend, I would highly appre- ciate an explanation that we also to MY Co-workers and friends, might explain.

Circumstances en- tirely beyond my control prevented me from being with YOU. This I will explain when I see YOU. I had YOU in mind all the time, however, and deeply re- gretted not being there.

Divine, 20 West 115th Street, New York City, ’ Dear Sir: One of YOUR followers, Simon Peter, by name, has just paid me eighty dollars, and formerly forty dollars, making a «total of one hundred and twenty dollars for back rent owed to us. We are grateful to have the opportunity to meet -one expressing such a sense of honesty and she tells ‘us, it is through YOU and YOUR teachings that has made this possible. A Yours truly, Homeyer Holding C0,, Inc. P .S. It is about ﬁve years ago that Simon Peter was a tenant in one of our houses; thought it best to make mention of this fact as it proves her desire to do that which is right. Men- Waiting for Redemption PEACE August 3, 1937, A. D. F. D. Homeyer Holding Co., Inc. 8557 150th Street, Jamaica, N. Y. Dear Sirs: I have received [your letter of acknowledgment for the sum of $120 for rent paid by Miss Simon Peter, and highly appreciate same. Men -the world over have been made creatures subject to vanity unwillingly, groaning within them- selves, waiting for the- Redemption of the world. They‘ were made subject to the bondage of corruption, to vice, sin and crime, and they stood as lost sheep with- out a leader, slaughtered in War, murdered, robbed, and led astray by the confusion, the disorder and the instability of our present rule of government. Vice and crime have swept the earth, and unrighteousness has subjected the. Children of Men to hardships, to depressions and to continuous unrest of . mind, body and affairs. .However, as the Spirit of MY Mind and the Mind of MY Spirit moved out over the E-arth, it brought Righteousness, it brought Justice and it brought Truth. It brought. to each and everyone Peace of Mind, body and soul. It brought strength to overcome all un- righteousness and to ‘receive the deliverance and the Redemption of all unrighteousness. For this Cause, MY Work and Service for all man- kind shall go on until I shall have accomplished that for which I have come. Righteousness is reigning in millions of hearts today. It is ‘calling forth the law of ‘Perfection to be established in all Government, wherein men, no longer need raise arms against the rule and form of Governmental regulations. Men, no longer will be made subject to Vanity unwillingly, subject to the unreality of things and subject to things unsubstantial ‘and immaterial, for by this Spirit and by this Mind they are Delivered and freed from the bondage of the corruption of the earth. Noting the bill paid of $120 as of the above, is an instance, a sample and an example of how I AM subjecting men, willingly, to Righteousness, Justice and Truth, subjecting them to the Reality of True Spirit- uality, and hence, they are fulﬁllers of all Success and Prosperity, with Joy in their hearts and Peace in their minds. In appreciation of your response to the Righteous Act of one of MY followers, and wishing you all Suc- cess in your endeavors, this leaves ME Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Successful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, -Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even in every atom, ﬁbre and cell of MY Bodily Form. V Respectfully and Sincere, I AM, REV. M. J. DIVINE (Better known as FATHER DIVINE) . Unexpected Payment. PEACE JACOB FOX Counsellor at Law, 790 Broad St. Newark, N. J. Reverend M. J. Divine, 20 West 115th. Street, New York City. ,_ My dear Reverend Divine: I . some years ago my father and mother had as a. _) tenant in a store and apartment in premises 95 Mont- gomery Street, Newark, one Willie Green. Mr. Green at that time occupied the apartment for himself and his family, and conducted a restaurant in the store. He ran -behind in his rent._ We bore with him for a time, but gradually his arreages mounted to a very sub- stantial sum, and we had to compel surrender of possession of the premises. This was approximately six years ago. One day last summer Mr. Green stopped in my office. I had not seen him during the six-year period that had elapsed since we were forced to part company. We had written off his debt for rent arrearages as worthless and uncollectible. I had never expected to see this man again. When he came in I found him to be a quite reconstructed individual. He seemed to have acquired a new faith in religion and a new concept of right and wrong. He told me that he had become one of \YOUR disciples and that he could not comply with the teachings of YOUR religious group unless he redeemed himself from all of his past short-comings. He stated that one of YOUR teachings was that all of YOUR followers had to liquidate all honest obligations. He re-afﬁrmed and re-acknowledged his debt to my parents and stated that at YOUR instance it was necessary for him to pay this obligation. He was unable to do so at one time but since last, Summer in gradual installments he has regularly and faithfully visited my office at stated periods until today he has made his ﬁnal and last payment in satisfac- tion of his debt. I feel that what YOU have done in the case of Mr. Green is a remarkable achievement. This man's attitude toward his obligations is entirely different from what it was when we last had dealings with him. ‘If all of our people could be made to see the light to the extent that YOU have brought it about a in the case of this disciple, the world would be 9. better place for all of us to live in. Taking YOUR accomplishments in the case of Willie Green as an example, I feel that YOU are doing a remarkable piece of work among YOUR peo- ple. YOU are to be commended for what YOU are doing, YOUR followers for accepting YOUR guidance. YOU deserve success and I wish YOU success. Faithfully yours, J. F. B. W. Thank YOU, F_'ather!J P. S. The total amount paid by Mr. Green in the manner indicated above is $300.00. I realize that it has been quite a sacriﬁce for him to do this, but ap- parently under YOUR leadership he has found sat- isfaction in making this sacriﬁce. Jacob Fox Tie ix; . ‘-3* . i ii « 9% Va _ ‘W ‘ .§= . .z._ The Ship of Righteousness PEACE August 3, 1937, A. D. F. D. Mr. Jacob Fox, Attorney, 790 Broad Street, Newark, New Jersey. My dear Mr. Fox: Your communication of the 26th received, of which I AM glad to hear from you relative to the debt paid amounting to $300. I have set upon the Seas of Depressions, the Ship of Righteousness, steering the same by the Rudders of Justice and of Truth. It is wonderful to know, no matter how stormy the Sea, as the Ship is navi- gated by MY Righteous Government Platform, the Ship of Righteousness plows on. Hence, it is a privilege to know, the Spirit of Righteousness, of Justice and of Truth is guiding the lives of men today, causing them to be Honest in all of their dealings. Not only are they paying back old bills of long standing—not only are they returning stolen goods, or money to pay for same—not only are they repaying others for past favors in the time of need, although none was expected, but they are making right their minds of dishonesty,—their minds that were debauched and marred by mortality’s intemperanc-e. They are making right their wrong-doings, thereby standing men- tally, Spiritually and personally in the Grace and ‘ Freedom of this Spirit, of which eventually as all mankind unites in the Cause of Righteousness, Justice and Truth, we shall have Peace and Harmony, and we shall have a Righteous Government Universally. The problems of life are beyond the powers of. men to settle, and so it is that as men. turn to God, and Iiealize “God is not a God afar off, but God is a God at hand,” their troubles will be dissolved, for even as God is a God at hand, God is present in any and all conditions of life, present in any and all ﬁelds of trades and professions, the Standard and Reality for Success and Prosperity. - Hence, I have declared, Religion and Politics will mix, for Religion is the Essence of the Law of the Spirit of Life, and Politics, the Government scienti- ﬁcally expressed. These two factors shall be uniﬁed, -the one leaning upon the other for its Foundation, and the other leaning upon the one for the fulﬁllment of the Law on the earth among men-the same made practical among them. With sincere wishes to you, desiring you to be as I AM, this leaves ME Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Lively. Loving, Successful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even in every atom, ﬁbre and cell of Bodily Form.

A Respectfully and Sincere, I AM, REVEREND M. J. DIVINE (Better known as FATHER DIVIN'E) PEACE My dear Father Divine: Tannersville, N. Y. It gives me great pleasure to write to You although I know that YOU know Joyce Rejoice and hen good qualities. My objec-t in writing to YOU is to let others see in the magazine, the “Spoken Word,” how good the help is that comes through YOUR ofIices—in other words, those who are true and faithful followers! Those who sincerely believe in and ‘practice Truth, Justice and Righteousness, those that do right because it is right, not because of receiving a reward or fear of punish- ment, except that each punishes himself by wrong do- ing and such living. Joyce was a ﬁne sweet girl and always willing and ready to do her duty. Even if ‘she was sometimes interrupted and asked to shift to some other work, she was always patient and willing to please.‘ The very ﬁrst day she came to me, I was willing to leave her alone in the home and I did. Of course she takes no credit for all her good qualities but «gives all credit to FATHER DIVINE——she always remembers to thank GOD for blessings, etc. There are so many good things that I could say about her that it would take too much space to write and much time for YOU -to read. My object in writing this at the present «time, is because someone, here is looking for household help and I have suggested to her about YOUR faithful followers etc. She may go down to Kingston‘ _or Palenville to see someone-—perhaps, or I am rather certain that YOU can give me the address of an oﬁice either in Palenville ‘ or Kingston to go per- sonally and get someone. Palenville is only about eight miles from here, but I was told that YOU have two gas stations _ down there and that no one is seeking "such work. It may be that when YOUR answer comes to me, the woman may have gotten someone and therefore I do not ask to have someone, ‘ but just merely an address how to reach one. Thank- ing.

My dear Mrs. Beller: Your letter of appreciation of the merits of this . Teaching of Righteousness, ‘Justice and 'I‘ruth that I AM inculcating within the ‘lives of the Children of Men ..-is received, and I AM glad to know you are a. witness to the same. By this Spirit, millions are quickened in the con- ciousness of Right thinking, Right speaking and Right ‘ doing,, thereby causing negative expressions and cond- itions to be destroyed. Gossip, slothfulness, incompet- M‘. .t, ence and deceit are swept away by the Actuated ex- pressions of MY Spirit and MY Mind functioning. with- in the lives and affairs of MY followers, -believers ‘and friends. . By so doing, MY followers are actually starving out the undesirable. They are fasting from expressing un- desirably in sin, vice and crime .and in unrighteousness, and such negative tendencies and inclinations they have had can no longer feast within their lives and must be dissolved by their own abnormal weight. Now in reference to giving you an address in Ul- ster County, I believe those who are there at present are either working, or on their‘ vacations. But, if the individual has not already employed someone, we could have her employ someone from this office. ‘Appreciating hearing from you and desiring you to be as I AM, this leaves ME Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Successful and Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even in every altom, ﬁbre and cell of MY Bodily Form. Respectfully and Sincere, I AM ’ REVEREND M. J. DIVINE (Better known as FATHER DIVINE) THE GREAT WHITE THRONE PEACE Father, It is wonderful Words are inadequate to express the Wonders, and Miracles, that Fath~er’s True and Faithful followers, are beginning to experience, thru living the Evangelical Life, as expounded by God Almighty, Father Divine, in His Enlightening Great Message; It is simply mar- velous, to see what Father Divine is doing for those who are confessing their sins, cleansing the conscious- ness from all of the past life, with all its old habits, etc., and coming into the New and Evangelical manner of living. It is wonderful. I More, and More are we, His true, and Faithful fol- lowers, witnessing the Supernal Immensity of His In- ﬁniteness, for He is each day unfolding, and unfolding to us the Glory, and Greatness of His Illimitable, and Sacred Being amongst us; and try, as one may, there are no words, and no expressions of any nature, that can convey the Illuminating Spirit of God-Almighty,- Father Divine, -for it would be impossible to describe this Holy, and Sacred Presence to anyone. This writer, has seen Great big Powerfully built men, sobbing out their Love- and devotion, many of them having been murderers, robbers, and in fact every type of criminality one can think of, and truly — if one has a heart of stone, and he should come into the Presence of Father Divine, and be so privileged as to be enabled to hear Him, he will learn for himself, that only GOD, and GOD alone, could speak and give us such words of ‘Spirit, and Life; It is indeed wonderful. In all the worlds history, as far back as we can go. no one has bro’t forth such words, in Pearls, and jewels » v of knowledge, and wisdom as fall ‘from the Sacred, and Holy Lips of Father Divine—, they are altogether won- ders and marvels, that are so inﬁnitely transcendent, and superior, to anything we have ever heard, known 01“ experienced in our old mortal life, and its conven- tionalities of living, and habits, that we are absolutely astounded, —- and we learn to know we are in the Pres- ence of such stupendolﬁ Inﬁnitude, that the ONE and ONLY Great Creator, is actually standing ‘before us, yet in all the lowliness, and simplicity of a guileless child, Oh, it is indeed wonderful. Father Divine, however, —— does not take us back. into any historical events — and He “has demonstrated, and manifested to us beyond any question that when we go back, we are simply getting the records, and his. tories, of the preconceived ideas, theories, and concep- tions of Man, and his so called creations, of a mortal,. and Adamic state of consciousness, which is the un. reality, of illusions, and delusions in which we were- ensnared, and enmeshed thru’out the Centuries, Hence, and owing to the worlds chaoticness, and confusion,-— He condescendlingly, and ccmpassicnately, came forth. out of His Throne of LIGHT, to give His own their de- liverance, and freedom. It is wonderful. V‘ And Truly God Almighty, Father Divine, is lifting‘ us entirely out of all degradation ,and sin, and trans- cendingly taking us into His Great Almighty Throne of Light, — and into the Glory and Inﬁnitude of His own Radiant Being, where all is Harmony, Peace and Love, — where there is no more strife divisions, or sedition. OH —— God, -- How Great are Thy Almighty wonders. It is indeed wonderful. If it were Possible to describe the Great THRONE of LIGHT, — it would be possible to give a. description of God-Almighty, however —— since they are synonym- ously and equivocably, interchangeable-——one could not and would not attempt to describe either——, and there are no mortals who would assume to describe the In- finite or the Great Throne of His illuminating Light in which at His Will He encompasses Himself. It is indeed wonderful. We, who have been endeavoring to absorb the In- ﬁniteness of the Inﬁnite, and been so tremendously privileged to be permitted to come into the Radius of His illuminating, and Enlightening Messages, together with His Holy and Magnetic Presence of such Great and Almighty Love as the world has never known, sincé the Advent of Jesus, the Christ of almost two thousand years ago, — have received from Farther Divine an Ignition Touch of His great Glory and splendor, that not anything the mortal world, could ever possibly be imagined for we have been anointed with the Light of the Inﬁnitude of GOD-ALMIGHTY, which has awakened us out of our Adamic Dream of the ﬂesh, and we are now dwelling in the secret Place of the Most HIGH, living in the Eternal LIGHT of His In. ﬁnitude. - Thank You Father!

Conpnec’ricu’r—-468_-470 Broad St. Saturday Afternoon, August I4. I937 A.D.F.D. ‘ l ' ' Time: 4:20 P. M. Universally extending HIS Hand of RIGHTEOUS» A NESS,y_IUSTICE and TRUTH, FATHER DIVINE, the Creator of Heaven and of Earth, Marches Triumphantly on,‘ speeded on His Onward and Upward Travel, by way of which HE is gently leading HIS sheep, by the apparent stumbling blocks of man’s ﬁnite ability to endeavor in his weak way to try to hinder or retard the MASTER of Omnipotency and the Controller of every man’s destiny. In these Messages that He gives to humanity at large, they are Words of Spirit and of Life, given for their Redemption, in fulﬁllment. of Jesus’ prayer; “I pray that they may be one even as we are One.” - Thus, it is only through HIS Condescension to come to the earth plane to dwell, through Love, Mercy and Tender Compassion, that we‘ are so privileged; but yet, it is HIS Will and HIS Desire that such be. Angels, blessed to be in the Personal Presence of the LORD Himself on this occasion, joined with HIM in the singing of many beautiful little compositions, Messages of great import and worth in themselves, and just before FATHER arose Personally to deliver this most Wonderful Message herewith recorded, HE sang: Pra-'se the LORD, Praise the LORD, Praise the LORD forevermore; Oh.’ Won’t you praise the LORD Praise the LORD, I _, A Praise the LORD foreverm-ore. FATHER speaks as follows: PEACE EVERYONE! . V That little composition lo-ng since composed but well worth reiterating and well worth your considcration,- as the last speaker said, there are millions who have not seen ME Personally—it is a true saying, but as you as individuals the universe over, sincere believers who will dial in on ME, MY Life and MY Teaching, in you they will see Me. That is the Mystery! . , “Let the world see your FATHER in you: " V»/heresoever you go and whatsoever you do, Let the world see your FATHER in you.” The reproduction of the identical expression, that of wh-ich you are stressing, should become to be a living Reality by transmission through concentration. That which is concentrated upon, the Essence, the Substance, the Reality of it_can be transmitted to others, and espe cially to those of whom are concentrating vividly on that something. ' Manifest the Christ Then I say: “Let the world see your FATHER in you.” If you desire men or mankind the universe over, yea, even if you desire any other individual to observe the Majesty, Love and Mercy of your Savio-r, produce it in yourself as an individual and in yourselves as individuals. Allow the Christ to be manifested in you that ot.hers may see the Reality of that which you are stressing,——no longer as something merely imaginable, but a living Reality made real, tangible and practical. The Life of CHRIST is reincarnatable, it is re~per» soniﬁable and it is re/actable,——it can be enacted and exr pressed and manifested in actions as well as in words that are spoken; therefore, the significance of CHRIST and His MISSION was to bring mankind to the conscious Réaliza» tion of GOD”S Omni» and Ever/Presence. When you are conscious of COD’S Ever~Presence it is not especially necessary to observe His PERSONAL PRESENCE. oWl1en GOD as a PERSON is Absent, GOD is PRES» ENT as a Spirit or Principle, in Reality. . Slress GOD in Vi/ords and Deeds \Vhen you Recognize the OMNIPOTENCE, OMNI’ SCIENCE and OMNI/PRESENCE of GOD your CREATOR, the very same SPIRIT that you are stressing will be manifested in your daily deeds and actions,——— hence, GOD will be observed by all of the people, if you . will stress HIM actually in words and in deeds. For this cause I say: “Let the world see your FATHER in you,”——that you might bring forth the outward expression of GOD’S Apr pearance, not merely in the physical or material appear ance, but the Impersonal Presence of GOD by Characteris» , tics, by Attributes. by Deeds and by Actions. by Nature. The Nature of GOD must be exempliﬁed. The Nature of COD must be stressed vividly that others might realize the signiﬁcance of it. — You cannot stress it vividly unless you sincerely believe it, but if you sincerely believe it you will vividly stress it, for you will live it with the Spirit of Sincerity; and by living it with the Spirit of Sincerity without the act of your endeavor to manifest it, it will be manifested automati» callv, and mankind, those with whom you come in contact, will observe it, they will observe GODS Actual Presence ' and will be obliged to believe in the Reality of HE in WHOM you are trusting. Why? Because you are ex’ 1 l l 4 plaining it in the expression of your actions, of your deeds and ‘of your words of the reﬂection and the reaction of your love and your Compassion for humanity. Love. Kindness and Mercy in Man The love of GOD as manifest, when it is reincar» nated and remanifest, it can and will be observed in Love and in Kindness and in Mercy, as an expression at times _ of PITY or SYMPATHY. You will express sympa» theticness for others. The Compassion of GOD, His Love and Mercy transmitted to humanity, when they express it it will be an expression of Sympathy, Compassion, it will be an expression of Kindness, it will be an expression of Mercy. These are the Expressions of the Love and Mercy and Compassion of theCALMIGHTY. When they are inculcated, and reincarnated in humanity, they will express to that degree of Expression of Mercy, Sympathy and Sympatheticness,—-and of Kindness, Hospitality and other Expressions for this Modern Civilization. But when it is expressed from GOD’S Majesty and Inﬁniteness, it may be Love and Compassion and Mercy in Expression,— but as mankind in mortal consciousness must express from the angle of Expression wherein they are functioning, they will express it in hospitality, in sympatheticness, sympathy, and in pity, and at times, anexpression of Mercy; hence, they are expressing, reﬂecting and manifesting GOD in their Lives. GOD Is Love and Kindness By so doing you will be: “Letting the world see your FATHER in you.” Remem» ber, GOD is Merciful, GOD is with Tender Compassion, GOD is long»sufIering and patient,———GOD is LOVE and KINDNESS. These Expressions of GOD inculcated will be an expression manifested that others can observe as something more than that which they can give. Aren’t you glad! “Let the world see your FATHER in you; Whatsoever you do and wheresoe-ver you go, Let the world see your FATHER in you.” If you love ME, you desire others to see MB. You do not merely desire others to see ME for a selﬁsh purpose, but by nature, GOD‘S Love, you are a partaker of it; hence, you will sincerely desire others to enjoy the privi» leges you are enjoying,——enjoy the blessings you are en» joying and the Freedom you are enjoying. For this cause you would desire others to observe it and also become to’ be partakers of it. By so doing you will think in that line with them through harmonization. You need not be in unity with them in the antagonistic and conﬂicting way, but with Compassion, with Love, with Pity, with Mercy, with the DIVINE DEVOTION you can and should be par» takers with them of that which I am stressing; by passing it over-to them in deeds and in actions they will enjoy GOD’S Presence as they observe HIM expressing from that angle._ Why? Because they can see GOD as a FRIEND, GOD as a HELP in the time of need,—n*o ‘ longer merely something as an imagnation. GOD ls Pracﬁcal and Proﬁtable When GOD expressesand manifests in you as a person and persons, those with whom you come in contact tan see the Reality of GOD as a living SAVIOR, the RE» DEEMER of all humanity, as something that is Practical and Proﬁtable, as something that is more than your fondest imagination, as something that is more than a supposition and your pre»conceived ideas and opinions and those mortal versions,—but as a Living Reality having become to be Real, Tangible and Practical, for it is helpful to you in Reality on the Material Plane where you are functioning. “Let the world see your FATHER in you,” and all that you do and everywhere you may go express GOD, as GOD would express toxyou. Just as you sincerely be» lieve GOD would express to you or would have you express to others, express thus accordingly. By so doing the world will see GOD in you and will realize the REAL» NESS of GOD. GOD has not been a REALITY to the world of Chris» tianity, GOD has been a mythological expression in the Mythical Realm, only observable from your imaginary concept of things; but I came to bring that which was far away in your highest imagination to the Earth Plane that you might understand and observe those things, an-d see them as they are. Aren’t you glad! Ma nifesfors of GOD How marvelous it will be when all realize you are to . be the expressors of ME, you «are to be the MANIFEST» " ORS of ME, you are to be the REFLECTORS and the ACTUATED Sketches of ME,——no longer drawing a cartoon or a sketch, as an artist or a cartoonist does, from a point of view observing something from an artistical ex» ternal point of view; but allow it to be merely an actuated expression of MY Image and Likeness manifested. Then and there they will see ME, then and there they will be» lieve ME, for they will be convinced where they have not been convinced to observe the TRUTH, and to believe. Why? Because GOD to them then, is REAL. GOD is not Real to the children of men saving as HE can reveal and make HIMSELF Real to them through something in their Likeness that they might understand. In the like» ness of men, GOD can explain HIMSELF to them by coming in the Likeness of them. The Likeness and the Image of GOD can be revealed by stressfully concentrat» ing and reﬂecting the Image in deeds and in actions, by harmonizing with HIM in. His version, in His opinion and in His ideas, whatsoever it may be, about all things. Lefﬁng the World See the FATHER By so doing you are reﬂecting the very Likeness of GOD, for you are with HIM. The Apostle did say: “Be» hold what Love the FATHER has bestowed upon us that we might be called the Sons of COD, 3.11;? it does not . ‘ , 5, ,,;;: i. V .‘ 3..'_. _, 2;‘, ».<.rzf‘;l‘ ' I ' ‘ yet appear what we shall be; but we know that when He shall appear we shall be like HIM, for we shall see HIM as HE Is." The Likeness of GOD appears as HE is revealed, and the Likeness of GOD is revealed as HE appears. HE appears in HIS Likeness through whom and in whom He is revealed; in whom HE is revealed HIS Likeness ‘is no longer concealed,——therefore, HIS Likeness will be revealed as you allow GOD in you to be Re’ vealed. That is the Mystery! GOD is seen visible as you visibilate GOD in deeds and in actions in your daily dealings and transactions. That is the Mystery! By so doing you are “letting the world see FATHER in you.” When- mankind can see the PERFECT PICTURE they will appreciate it, for it is fascinating, it is a Center of Attraction when it is expressed Perfectly and Accurately, —it is not dispelling nor impelling, but to the extreme I reverse it is a Center of Attraction, it is an expression of True MAGNETISM, it will attract and -draw others to it. That is the Mystery! ‘ Take these thoughts to consideration and observe the Mystery. As you live it and express it you will see distinctly and directly, GOD is a Living Reality if you will “let HIM." GOD cannot be a Reality to you and for you nor through you, unless you “let HIM;” but as you “let HIM” GOD will let you be an expression through whom He can be manifested. Aren’t you glad! "Lo, l Will Be With You" Live in this Recognition, dial in on the Fundamental continually and lo, I will be with you in an expression that will be well pleasing to you. “Why I say, ‘Lo, I will be with you,’ is because it is TRUE. I am not speaking about a person especially, neither a personality. From MY Anglelof expression, in- MY likeness, from a mental con« cept of yourself, I may not be, but in Reality I will be with you according to that which is needful for you to have and needful for you to be. I AM Joy, I AM Health, I “AM Happiness, I AM Success, I AM Prosperity, I AM Wisdoxn, Knowledge and I AM Understanding; I AM Love and I AM Kindness, I AM Happiness and every other desirable Expression. If I AM These, then these are the things you need: to be for your advancement and for the Satisfaction of your desires,—then I will be with you from the Angle of Expression that is essential for you, and I will be just what you should be a.nd what you would desire to be,——and I will be it for you, with you, through you and by. you; therefore, ‘Lo, I will be with you.‘ That is the Mystery! _ Think not to say within yourselves ‘When FATHER says:He will be with us, HE will be there in Person.’ Think ' not to say within yourself from the mental concept of HIS Persdnality or Appearance He will be there especially, but know within yourself from these attributes and ex» pressions, desirable Characteristics or Characteristical Ex» pressions of MY Majesty, Love and Mercy and, in short, of GOD in Reality, of these I will be with you if you will let ME. That is the Mystery! GOD ls With All Things How marvelous it is to know the TRUTH. MOTHER NATURE, the ‘Hand of Nature, yea, even the sap in the earth will produce vegetation and will be with every seed according to its own kind and to and with every animal after his own species, of whatsoever kind they may be. After the manner of every bird in the bird Kingdom, GOD in the Name of Mother Nature will be with them according to their respective expressions and will appear accordingly; therefore, GOD is with them from that An’ gle of Expression. A GOD the Name of Mother Nature is with the Os» trich, according to the 'Ostrich’s nature and the species of bird that ostrich is, and will appear from that angle of expression and will answer every problem accordingly. That is the Mystery! “("Accorclin'g to Your Faith" Then I say; ‘Lo, I will be with you,’-——for the good of every individual from a Characteristical point of view. From an “attril*x1te»al” point of view I will be with you according to your Faith in Me and according to your works and according to your deeds. This is also according to the Gospel, it is Evangelical. “Behold! I come quickly and MY Reward is with ME to reward every man ac« cording as his works may be." You must give an account.of every word you say and every deed that is done in the body; therefore, it is ac» cordin_g to your deeds and according to your actions and according to the working of the Spirit and the mind within you. So then I say; ‘I will be with you,’ if you will allow ME to, and if you allow these words to be applicable to your Life, to you and to youraffairs, from a GODLY point of view I will be with you. Regardless to how I may apparently be in Person, regardless to how your ver’ sion may have been concerning ME as a Person, stress the Name of G-OD and the Nature of GOD, stress that of which I actually Am, stamp that in your memory as a rubber stamp would stamp a name of something of its own kind, according to the print on the paper. Oh it is a‘ privilege to observe it! Sfressing the Desirable Qualiﬁes You have heard MY Message and MY conclusion of MY Qualities stressed in the closing of MY letters,———I have stressed them in words. I have manifest them in deeds, I have manifest them in actions and in outward expressions, ——then I say, I am these qualities and attributes I am stressing; others are such as they will stress,——such as they are stressing. Many a person will say; ‘I am no good. I am sick. I am sad,’ or, ‘It made me so mad!’ Those things make you, or in other words, made you become to be the personiﬁca» tion of madness; therefore, you could not express the Ex» pression of Gladness. You say you are sad,—it is a matter of impossibility for you to express the Expression of Hap» . g { . , piness when you are the personiﬁcation of sadness, for you have made yourself the expression of it. To the ex treme reverse of such an expression, Ilam stressing the Attributes and Quality, those Qualities that are very De» sirable, those Attributes that are proﬁtable and are the outward expression of PERFECTION. I reﬂect them and I manifest them because I stress them. The Mysterylof the Artist I am not merely stressing them in words, but stressing them in deeds and in actions. From a psychological point of view you will be partakers of them if you will vividly visualize them,—-—even if you are not stressing them, but if you are in harmony with them and will vividly visualize them, you will tend to materialize them. But if you close your eyes against the Light and will not observe nor visu» alize that which I have declared and that which I have .pe_rsoniﬁed, it is a matter of impossibility for you t:o mar terialize it, for you have refused to visualize it. Your eye is as a Magnet,l—-your mental eye is as a Magnet, your spiritual eye is as a Magnet, your physical eye is as a Magnet. You tend‘ to attract that which you vividly gaze upon and you produce the very likeness of it in your consciousness or in your subconsciousness. That is the Mystery of the Artist! The Artist will bring out ofihimself that which he has vividly visualized with his physical eyes, yet.‘ it will come out of himself,——-but it was out there. He vividly visualized it, your likeness and your image, and he drew it in the almost exact likeness and image because he vividly physically visualized it and he produced it in himself from an artistic and ‘mental point of view,——and artistically he drew it that you might: observe it and that others might know who did not know, he drew it. .Aren’t you glad! The Perfect Picture . So it is in drawing the PERFECT PICTURE to you’ and in your consideration.‘ Your eye is a Magnet, your mental eye, your spiritual eye, your physical eye and all of your eyes of your mind are Magnets to draw and to be drawn upon. Aren’t you glad! Then I say, if you have a PERFECT VISION to visualize the PERFECT‘ PICTURE, you will draw the PERFECT internally and you can put it forth into expression artistically that others might understand it, and when they observe it vividly they can, as well as you will, tend to materialize it. How marvelous it is to realize the TRUTH and scir entiﬁcness of the TRUTH as I put it forth to you. This is not an imagination! Everything that is oibservable}-l.—all things that are visible, they were once invisible, but they were made visible by some- individual or something con- centrating in that direction consciously, and the conscious concept concerning the Mystery actually materialized it by visualizing it. That is the Mystery! Stress HIS Nature ' So then I say, the PERFECT PICTURE, the FATHER in you, isa Reality; in your actions, in your deeds and in your ideas and your opinions must be stressed vividly, 1 . that you might materialize HIM. It is not necessary to visualize MY Physical or Personal Appearance especially, but stress MY Characteristics, MY Nature, MY — AttI'i' butes, MY Qualities of which I am stressing, and bar’ monize with them,—LIVE IT and express Them in deeds , and in actions and you will become to be the Personiﬁca» tion of them, then you will be even as I AM. I There is where the Scripture is fulﬁlled: “Travel on until GOD be formed in you,”——in other words: . "He who has his hope in Him puriﬁes himself even as He is Pure,” £l"l’Ud “The little Lewven leaveneth the whole lump.” That is MY MISSION. This is not diluting your ver» sion concerning Me. With the right ‘concept and the Understanding concerning the Mystery it is substantiating A your version and causing you to be more ﬁrm in it, by observing ME Mentally and Spiritually as a living Reality from a ‘Characteristical and from and Attributical po-int of view ’ ' FREEDOM ! That is why I stress it that you might observe ME from that Angle of expression and that it‘ might be the Re’ demption of you and others. ,What does Redemption mean? FREEDOM! Or, in other words, to bring you , from such an expression that may have been in the ex» treme reverse to that of which you desire to express,——- bring you from that State of Expression, redeeming you fro-m the undesirable‘ condition,——freeing you from them. By giving you the Idea of the Perfect Expression, the Perfect becomes to be a Living REALITY instead of the negative. The negative, by the PERFECT coming into expression, is cancellated and dispelled from among us.~ Aren’t you glad! No longer will the negative have an existence among us for the positive is a REALITY and the Positive and the Desirable ﬁll us,—there will be no more space no-r place since we are ﬁlled with the‘ Positive and the Desirable, for the negative to enter. I thank you. FATHER'S MESSAGE P , Saturday Afternoon. August |4th, I937 A.‘ D. F. D. 468-470 Broad Street. Bridgeport. Connecticut Time: 5:45 M. The second Glorious Message given by FATHER at Bridgeport under this date is enlightening to those who are still groping in the darkness of misunderstanding, de» siring to be freed fromsthe shackles of mental, spiritual and physical bondage created by undesirable conditions. of both the ﬂesh and spirit. ., .__ '-I . ,; .-:12-«*=., -,- . - --. fa. .-,_-,..L,.r Preceding FATH_ER’S words ‘herewith recorded, an angel testiﬁed concerning the position on which she is now employed. In substance, she stated that her employers had said they would be willing to accept FATHER as GOD and would be willing to serve HIM wholeheartedly if HE would restore hearing to the deaf ears of one, a Mother. According to her statements, the greatest specialists available had given her up to be incurably deaf for life, and they, in their own belief had come to the decision that only GOD and GOD Alone could give her back her hearing. . For the ediﬁcation of all, in response to this testimony, FATHER spoke the following Message, for which we thank HIM. FATHER SPEAKS: PEACE : I was just thinking when you were speaking of the lady being healed,—n=aturally she cannot be healed if she will not believe, or cannot believe,——not as readily as she could if she did believe Firstly I want to say, the doctors have sentenced her to death and declared this complaint of deafness will last her to death,—until death . . . and she cannot be healed of it. As long as the physicians are in her and in those with whom she is connected, and their versions stand be» tween GOD and herself, naturally those things would be in the way to prohibit GOD from giving her her hearing; but if those things could be moved out,——their versions and the versions of others, and all mortal concepts of things could be completely removed, then and there could the Spirit of MY Presence give her her hearing. ' If you notice closely, the radical and the fanatical, those who are willing-to make a complete self»denial and a wide open declaration concerning GOD’S Actual Presence, there is nothing to the opposition or contrary can hold them, because GOD in their version is a Living Reality and everything else is beneath HIM; therefore, all other I conditions that have resulted in their experiences are con» ditions of the least consideration,——hence, they are comr pletely dispelled when you lift your thoughts above ma» terialism, when you declare your GOD in Reality. When you openly declare GOD and recognize GOD as a Living Reality, GOD to you is made Real and Tang« ible, and GOD-will make Real, those promises to you as ~.vyell as fulﬁlling 'the1n;’:.'I.ne;nta_tlly-_,a_1ic_l_-spiritually. To__ the Materialists GOD will bepreached materially, and toithe spiritual or spiritualists GOD can be observed spiritually, ——but GOD can only reach your conditions spiritually and from a spiritual point of view; hence, observe HIM merev ly as Spirit. But when you observe GOD as He Is, ﬁlling all space ' andabsent from none, being Visible, Tangible, Practical ‘and Real, GOD can answer your requests and satisfy your desires in all of those different expressions you are — ‘ seeking. 3.».-sir +~::x wt: ".2-w:~.~».;;:~.« ax-"Ms. -.*' .:- :‘ er .~ ....». You are seeking GOD to bless you with food, With comfort and with convenience,-—with raiment on the ma’ terial plane and all of the other necessities of your physical life; you are asking GOD'S Blessing upon you for them- You can only get such by the Recognition of the Tangiv bilization of GOD and by living according to HIS word and by believing sincerely in GOD to lift you above the versions of men on the material plane, that have declared you your destination. ’ Now there is where at times some may get those things that Life demands and some may not get them, and yet they may not be spiritually minded and may not be ob» serving GOD as Real on all planes. It is because they have not yet been sentenced mentally and spiritually to a men— tal and a spiritual, yea a physical destination,-but those _ of the master minds in the world in which they are living, when you shall have been sentenced to a ‘certain degree by the master minds of your world in which you living, your only hope of Redemption from those conditions is to recognize the SUPREME, as you would take your case to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of HEAVEN. That is the Mystery! But others may apparently enjoy those things to a cert tain degree, until the time comes when they too shall have been sentenced by the versions of men, the master minds in the world in which they are living, to their destinat.ion,———then and only then it may be that they have come to their extremity; hence, they may not be Cut 05 ‘ from the blessings until they have come to their destinar tion . . . but when they have come to their destination and have in Reality no longer an ' existence from that angle of expression, according to the master nunds in the world in which they are living, the only Hope of their ,. Redemption is to recognize the SUPREME MIND and take your case to the APPELLATE and SUPREME COURT, the APPELLATE DIVISION a.nd the SU- PREME COURT of HEAVEN. That is the Mystery! You may not be limitedaltogether apparently so long as you have not come to your destination, according to the decision and the version of those judges in the world in which you are living; but when you shall have come to your destination in the world in which you are living, to a. degree where ‘ you shall have been sentenced to your destination, to your extremity, you then and only then may ﬁnd yourself extremiated and no deliverance, for the master minds of the judges in the world in which you ~ are living have sentenced you to a certain condition. Now -you cannot get your Emancipation from those sentences and from those conditions saving by taking your case to the Appellate . Division and the SUPREME COURT of HEAVEN,——and when this is done, then will you ﬁnd your real deliverance . . .when you go directly to GOD, the SUPREME JUDGE of the whole Universe. That is the Mystery! This woman in her experience, according to your testir mony, has been sentenced by the judges of physical sci’ ence, in other words by the judges in physical science con’ cerning your physical body and your physical existence, ANNOUNCEMENTS PEACE EVERYONE: ' I _ _ (‘.‘_Peace FATHER DEAR!” came the familiar shouts of the multitude.) ‘A Here we all are again and there I sit and stand. I have arisen at this particular juncture to further stress our Trip onthe Gospel Ship up to the Promised Land on the 30th and the 31st of August. You all have plenty of time to get ready. If youowe any bills you should straighten them out between this and then, and‘ be ready to go to the/Promised Land. On this ‘Trip we have decided to carry all children who desire to go ABSOLUTELY gratis regardless to what your Religious affiliation may be . . . It makes no difference to Me so long as you go and express true Evangelism while you are with us on that Trip. We are requesting the honor of your lives and of your families to express true Evan’ gellismuin the act of abstaining from all intoxicating liquors, and beers on this Trip, and remember we will have a Twovday’s Trip. Now this includes any and everybody, matters not who you may be so long as you are willing to live Evangelically and express t.rue Evangelism while with us’ on that Trip, by being modest, moral and respectable in everyway; abstaining from all intoxicating liquors, refus» ing to smoke and drink and using profane or obscene language. If you do, and act modestly otherwise, why, your presence will be much appreciated, of each and every so called Nation, so-ecalled people, so—called' color regardless to. what your Religious, professional or your political’ af— ﬁl-iation“ may be. Since we are Inter—racial, Interrnational, nonepolitical and social Covworkers with each’ and every« body, all will be welcomed and we desire, especially desire to have the presence of all who desire to express such modesty as we are stressing in our daily actions and in ourplealings. . Now those who are going without price, of course your tripwill be- given you as once among thousands of times that ‘you have, no doubt,‘had‘ such a chance or privilege; as one a-mdng. thousands of times that you have had such a -chanoeftoggo on a hundred mile outing round trip for just to be modest and respectable,——on a trip for a. couple of days just to have the young people’s presence of true Evan» gelism expressed in them as the coming generation and the foundation and the standard of the coming expression of the Kingdom. The grown—ups will be required to pay the sum of One Dollar Round Trip. This means whomsoever you may the, V it matters notwhether you are Followers of Mine or folr lowers of any other Religious Expression or non'Religious organization, you are welcome to participate in this Der . monstration, so long as you live and ‘express in harmony ,with this Mission and the Teaching while being on that Outing. ‘There is to be no smoking, no dwnkinig, no prov fame nor obscene language. All are welcome to participate’ so long as you go on these grounds, as I have aforestated. Your fare will be only One, Dollar Round Trip-~the grownrups, with the privilege of staying two days; nearly one hundred miles Round Trip. Just think of it, and all of the young people will be able to go FREE" Of course I mean the majority of the parents, the citizens of this City, State and V County will be willing for their children to go, because they know deﬁnitely, according to My Teaching, they will be under such restriction as they do not ordinarily get at home. For the two days you are welcome to stay in the Exten— sion as many as can be accommodated in them. Those of you who wish to take spaces or places elsewhere, it willbe your privilege to do so. I believe you can ﬁnd other places for accommodation for staying over in_ Kingston and in some of the other villages around, if you do not wish to get reservations at the Extensions, but your Trip will be gratis, those.of you 18 years and under. Remember, once upon a time there was a message went out to slay every boy child from ‘a certain age and under, so now I want to Bless every girl child an.d every boy child 18 years and under on this Outing. This has been made possible by the cooperation of the Followers and the willingness to cooperate in every way possible, and by My Services being GRATIS to them without compensation and without- commission. It has been made possible for those of you who will pay your fee, $1.00 Round Trip, to Kingston and return, it has been made possible for you to receive such a Blessing, and such a Blessed Outing under the Jurisdiction of the BLESSER and the GIVER of all Blessings. It has been made possible by My Services being GRATIS, as a FREE GIFT to the world, GRATIS to mankind, without compensation or commission from any» one for My Services. My Service is GRATIS to all in that way; so we shallhave a glorious time. The next wonderful Work you can rest assured, as past experience will verify what I AMT saying, what shall be d'on.e,—you can rest assured you will have a pleasant trip so far as the Boat and the weather and the surrounding conditions are concerned, for the very Spirit of My PRES- . ENCE, when you live in perfect harmony with ME»will guarantee. you all of those things. Now is not that a transcending Blessing to observe. the Guarantee of beautiful weather? That is aa transcending Blessing. It is transcending for it is not bound to the Earth Plane.’ It is something that cannottbe controlled by the will nor the power of man. If you are in perfect harmony with Me,‘ an.d will live it until then, I will GUARANTEE you will have a PERFECT: Trip and a PERFECT DAY, as far as the weather is concerned. Aren’t you glad? (“So Glad!” shouted the people vehemently.) If you are antago- nistic and conﬂicting and start a disturbance in yourself ’ and among yourselves, you may call the Cosmic Forces of Nature to your antagonistic expression, but if you work in harmony and express ME continually, I will guarantee the same as I have done in and on all other occasions, and ex press a pleasant trip,‘ with good weasther, good luck, good success, good health, Good Will_and a good appetite and ‘ a FULL and a PLENTY to supply all of those things, for I we shall have a PLENTY to eat up there, and we shall have a PLENTY aboard the Boat, if nothi.o.g prevents, and .’)b:>‘,5;‘J};3."-)1-;’,11.;“l.."-’.«"’.‘e§-"."*.'s.:..,<%ii‘:ns~5<-.;~< ~ . . x u 'l 2 ll. .,.;;. to a lifetime of deafness‘. Now her only Hope of Re» demption is to take her case to the APPELLATE DIVI» SION or to the SUPREME COURT of HEAVEN, that the JUDGE of the whole EARTH might reverse the de» cision of the judges in the lower courts on the Earth Plane, in the physical world of existence. "When the JUDGE of the SUPREME COURT of HEAVEN, GOD Alone Who could help her condition, shall reverse the lower court’s decision of the world’ in which she is now existing, then and there she will have her real Emancipation, she will have her hearing and will hear distinctly,—-if she can do that; but she will have to pass all of those judges in thephysical world of existence, the mortal versions of men, all o-f their theories and doc- trines, before she can get her real Emancipation by taking an appeal to the SUPREME COURT of HEAVEN, or at least the APPELLATE DIVISION of the SUPREME COURT of HEAVEN,——the Heavenly State of Expres» sion where we are LIVING. She must pass by, go through all of those lower courts in her concept concerning the Mystery, and renounce those Standards of ‘expression in that world in which she has. been 1iving,—then and only then can she ascend as Jesus. ascended. in the parable, parably speaking when Jesus ascended to Heaven,—which was but a Mystery in Reality from this Angle of Expression; ascended above all materialism and above all of the moralist’s versions on the material plane, that HE ‘might take His case to the SU» PREME COURT of HEAVEN. There is where He received His REAL EMANCIPA' TION and was completely delivered. That is the Mystery! So it will be with you or she whichever, and all other in» dividuals. That is the Mystery! When all earth shall have failed, when ‘you shall have gone through all of your versions and all of the versions of men in the. world in which you are living, when you shall have seen distinctly they are failures and they have sentenced you to that condition whichever, to «be,-then and only then can you. rightfully and readily contact ME to get your real Emancipation from those things, and those other lower decisions must be reckoned until you shall have gotten rid of them,——but when you shall have gotten rid of -them, know they are failures, know they can do notha ing. for you, then you can rely, on the Fundamental by appealing your case to the SUPREME COURT or the APPELLATE DIVISION of the SUPREME COURT of HEAVEN, and you will get a reversal of the lower court’s decision and you will have your Real EMANCL . A PATION from those undesirable conditions where they “had sentenced you to remain under and in, so long as "your ‘life lasts. That is the way she was. She has been ‘sentenced to a life of deafness continually, aslong as -she lives, by. all of the specialists. Naturally, _ they are _-the judges of the physical : conditions of men. When they have passed their sentence, naturally you. A must take an appeal if you desire to get abovelthem. As A long as you remain under sthemgyou will have to serve that sentence, unless you take an appeal-,——inv'other words, seek to get a parole, that you might be freed, and -if you get out on a parole you will be still subject to take treat- ments from time to time, as ‘ one out on parole has to report to the probation officer from time to time’-,-‘tol see if he has taken on any other bad habits, or taken on the old bad habit. ' That is why even though they may release you", indiv rectly, they will still hold you under their jurisdiction and request a constant visitation to the oﬁice to take diagnosis of your case,——even though they may say; ‘Welsl, it may be possible for you to be ,free from those conditions ‘some day,’——ébut yet you are under their supervision-,> hence, you are only under parole and must be under their juris— diction, must come around from’ time to time and let them take diagnosis of your case. But when you take an appeallto the APPELLATE DIv VISION of the SUPREME-COURT of HEAVEN, out from under their jurisdiction, no longer can the physical science and the physical judges through physiology judge you longer and bring you into subjection to such con— ditions, for you will be emancipated by the reversal ‘of the decision of the lower court from whence you were taken. Aren’t you glad! ‘Take this case in the experience of this lady, of "-whom we are now‘ speaking,——is but one among many. " You might take that as a Sample, you might take that,‘as an Example of millions of cases ‘of which men havebeen ‘sentenced to such conditions. for life,——t’hey» can only be‘ Emancipated and freed from those conditions by appealing the decision of the lower courts in which they have been living through physical and under physical Science. When they appeal it they are renouncing it and der nying it_,—denying the Reality of it and trying to get .. a JUST Verdict from the Higher Court through the rev versal‘ of the decision that has been handed down ‘from the lower court,——naturally they are emancipatedfrom that decision and they are no longer under that sentence of condemnation for life, or from the time so long as it lasts. I thank you. ' ml %K.,.,/ x,” 2 ’AN OPPORTUNITY For the past few weeks Our Dear FATHER has spent weekends in the Promised Land. Many of HIS devoted Children have followed HIM there to enjoy HISaLoving Presence and the beauty of that region at the same time. "so: W3"./1 car“:- . -.---.h:‘j;ha4 -».;..-,,...—’'<;; L. I do ‘not think it will. I not thinkanything will prevent I thank you. O I would just like to say the Boat will be leaving at 6:00 A. M., AUGUST 30th. You will have to be there on time on the Boat, for there will be a» crowd. Boat leave . ing 6:00 A.. M., AUGUST 30th., RETURNING from Kingston at 3:30 P. M. AUGUST 31st. Thinkcof it! Having two days Outing, a hundred miles up to the Promised Land, with guarantee of Good Health, Good Will anda Good Appetite, and with a guarantee of Good Weather, something that is actually supernatural, and with the guarantee of PLENTY of comfort and convenience. If you are in perfect harmony, ways and means will be opened for‘ the majority of you, if not in our Immediate Extensions in connection with the F01» {lowers under the Jurisdiction of My Immediate Spirit, there will be other places where you can get reservation, . but so far as your Trip is concerned, think of it, going for only $1.00 Round Trip ;-—a.ll of the grownvups! Children going on this Trip Gratis so far as going is concerned. Accommodation for sleeping for the grown~ups will be $.50 per person per night, and $2.00 per week. Meals at only $.15. Just think of it! Just see what the Spirit has ‘actually done by the radicalness of My Teaching and of , My Spirit and My BODY being a Living Sacriﬁce. This cannot be prohibited. My Work will go on and on and on even though all earth oppose. My Spirit and My Presence shall continue to function and shall continue to express effectively from this angle of expression with or without My PERSONAL PRESENCE. I thank you. 0 (As'some_one had started to sing, FATHER was asked the question concerning whether -or not therewo-uld be any charges for the sleeping accommodation, and what were the charges for children. FATHER arose to explain and the singing natu.rall5r came to a quick standstill.) PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace FATHER DEAR!” responded the great Throng.) I AM always interrupting, yet I do not like to interrupt you so often. However, after this I will not bother you fur» ther. The question was asked will there be any charges for the children’s accommodation for sleeping? There will be P ’_ a charge of $.25 per night for children under 12 years, " and $.50 per night for those over 12 years;———$. 1.5 a meal for their meals and other accommodations such as they would receive in the Extensions here in the City. Now isn't that a" Blessing? The guardians may take care of the children. Those who are under age, they should go with their guardians and they should see that they are cared for. I believe between this and that time, all can be pre« pared to take care of them, so far as that is concerned, and I believe you will «be prepared to take care of yourself. I AM giving you another chance to see the Promised Land, and to observe just what has been done, and what we are doing. » Now it will be your privilege to look over the different places while you are up there, if you wish to go around to the different places—around about 60 or 70 miles includ» ing all of the places. To get around to each and all of the places it may be around 60 or 70 miles, but conveniences will be made so a good many of you will be able to go to the different places. Even though it may not be possible for the accommodation to be made for everybody, you may have some way whereby you can make the connection yourself. There are to be buses runnin.g from some of the places through and by some of the places. You can go by public bus; you can go by getting in connection with some of the Bus Companies, no doubt, according to your own plan other than the way that has been made. I believe it will be possible for you to have a pleasant trip, both in the Divine Greenkill Park and in the other places. Iithank you. "I MEAN TO EXTREMIATE MAN, TH/51600 CAN HAVE HIS OPPORTUNITY," . . SAYS FATHER DIVINE Politicians. Business. Professional and Civic Representatives Visif 63rd Street Forum NEW YORK, N. Y.——As the time for election. and voting rapidly approaches, Politicians are coming to Father Divine, seeking His endorsement, as they do, only when these times arrive. On this occasion, Father Divine was not hesitant in making plain the fact that those seeking His endorsement must do more than merely come into the Forums, and say, “I endorse your Righteous Govern- ment Platform," but must adhere to the following de mands, when He said in a Righteous Government Forum, at the 63rd Street Extension, on Wednesday evening, August 4, “Man’s. extremity is God’s opportunity, and I mean to extremiate man, so that God can have His op» portunity. The Politicians must accept of my Righteous Government, as I exemplify it, if they want my support. If they are ashamed of_ Me, I will be ashamed of them. If they want My support, let them come boldly before the throne of Grace and openly declare me. I don’t want dollars and cents;if I don’t have it, My followers have. Give -Me your hearts, and keep your dollars.” Mr. Clerk, a Politician and businessman, represented Mr. Dickens, who aspires to the leadership of the 19th ’ Assembly district. Mr. Clerk is a candidate for the City Council, and had spoken and stressed,‘ at length what the endorsement of Father Divine meantto any candidate. He. desires, to get Father to endorse hiTr_n, even as He‘ has" endorsed Mr. Dickens. He outlined what his accomplish» ments would be should he succeed in getting the oflice __....,...;...,....:-gas...-s...._..—_._-iv».-.«-_ .€._ .. “I shall completely abolish corruption in this City among the oﬂicials, if elected,” he said. Mrs. Highbergh, a realrestate operator and business woman, explained the methods of cooperative business and their results, when O pooled together. Small businesses can become large and expand all over the world through co/operative business, she said. She also to-ld of the refusal of a large business to sell to a smaller company, only to have the smaller expand so large, that it ‘was able to aid the l.arger ﬁrm in time of bankruptcy. Dr. Broadman, a practicing physician and representative of the American Peace Campaign, when called upon to speak, stressed cooperative business, and its dangers, when opposition enters in. Real cooperation is necessary in any coroperative business, he said, and is bound to bring about success. A letter of regret from a representative of the World Citizen’s ‘Commonwealth, who was to have been the guest speaker of the evening, was read, along with the speech he intended to deliver. He was suffering from a heart attack, and upon advice o-f his physician, could not be present. Mr. Lazarus, a former resident of Sayville, L. I., who was well acquainted with Father and His work, spoke of the great value of Father’s teaching. “Anyone having F<ather’s attribut:es cannot remain away from Him long,” ‘ he said. ‘“I get letters from Father, and in them I receive the vibrations, which give me the oneness with every’ body, and cause me to be loving, kind, and generous._I have found: out that it is necessary that one learn to con» trol Self, in order to control F'ather’s blessings. I also found out that obedience to F'ather’s Laws, makes the body perfect and healthy." Several Righteous Government: workers expressed voli~ tionally, and the planks for the occasion were read. The program was interspersed with songs, so-los and testimonies. Miss Orol Freedom acted as announcer of the evening, and all enjoyed a wonderful time. THANK YOU FATHER. Mysfery of FATHER'S License Number 4 U - 8 2 2 I 7 Five numerals and one lett.er of our alphabet give us an interesting subject for they are the numbers of our Father’s license plates on the precious body of His car. It has been said that things do no-t just happen, but that there is a cause for everything. A poet has said, “All is Law yet allris Love.” Thank Father, when God was at head: quarters one day and His precious car was standing in I I front of No. 20 West 115th Street, the writer, after hav» ing gratefully inspected the car, Father blessed him with the following revelation"of‘His license plate numbers and the letter U thereon. A ' Each numeral stands for, a word, thus the number 4 is “For”, then the letter U spells “You", then 8 which is St Ate”, the ﬁrst 3 “too”, 2 again stands for “to” andkﬁnally the last number is 1, capital “One”, according to the inter» pretation of the revelation, thus we have the sentence, “For you ate too to One” In THE DIVINE LAW section 16 Father speaks of A the one Presence and One Power. As the message on the plates gives it. Everyone tasted and ate of this One Power, the Divine Spirit to some degree. And having tasted Gccl in Spirit it is but logical to recognize Father Divine as God in a Body, the embodiment of Holy Spirit. The Scripture says, that the very stones -would cry out and testify of God’s Presence. Here we have Father’s license plates testifying and reminding the world that they ate of His Holy Presence, for Father is hid in His follow» ers and the world is tasting more and more o-f Father through His Angels. “For you ate too to One." You ate of and to the One God. We. the. followers of Father are constantly eating, or being fed by His rHroly Spirit. We too, have eaten an-d know. there is none better and want no other than Father Divine. Father, we do thank you for this, Thank You Father, We thank You. DIVINECRICKET TEAMS PLAY EVANGELICAL GAME DIVINE GREENKILLI PARK, N. Y.——Cricket games _ . are played all over the world, but the game played by the Divine Teams at the beautiful Greenkill Park, on Sund.ay,_ July 29, far surpassed any of its kind seen yet, and com» pletely displayed to the onlookers, the Spirit of Unity and Oneness which the followers of Father Divine express. It was a warm July afternoon, and the thermometer had reached a moderate height, when the Angelic Team took to the ﬁeld, and successfully bowled out the Evangelic Team, with a score of '26 runs for 9 wickets; Messrs Forteau, Theodore, and Seals doing the bowling, in Co ' operationwith Bros. Carter, Enoch, Weeks, Aaron, Samp» son and Abraham, the rest of the Team, who did brilliant f1eld.work. The Evangelic Team of Esau, Gordon, Shep— pard, Franklin, Jonathan, Emanuel, “Paul, Fields, and Gomez, then took the field, and spent the rest of the aft’ ernoon trying to defeat the Angelic players, which they did only after they had scored 102 runs for 9 wickets. Messrs. Gordon, Sheppard, Emanuel, Jonathan, and Paul engaged in the bowling for the latter side. ' Those who saw the game, unanimously decided that Father ‘Divine had introduced into the ﬁeld of sports, something unheard of; never‘, before Chad any game of the type been played without compet.it.ion; it doesn°t seem possible; it was only made possible by Father Divine, God in a Body. Thank yo”uiFather. A A-’ "4 R 5.. I ': 1. .‘ , f AN INSPIRATION. By DOROTHY PRESTON PEACE Father said, “As the little honey—bee seeks the foliage of the ﬂowers and gets the substance from there, even so should each of us get the essence of all religions,——— the Truth of them, and put it in our lives and bring such to fruition in us individually and collectively, until Rightv eousness, Justice and Truth, through the true Light of Religion, shall become to be a living reality.” So we must see good in everyone; for in the Sonship degree, Father said, “As thou seest, that thou vbeest.” Where there is union there is strength, but where there a is division there is strife. Is it not proven today, by the conditions other countries are experiencing? But they all will have to recognize (and the sooner the better) whom “they belong to and give the credit where it is due, Father Divine is their Lord and only Salvation. It is truly won» derful! We thank Father that we know He is God A1» mighty dwelling amongthe children of men. It is truly wonderfulihow we are all like trees, and we all know the saying, “Only ‘God can make a tree." Some of the children who are not in Father's Mind and Spirit are lacking in beauty and foliage; those whom Father Has Blessed to know Him, according to their understanding of the Principle and Fundamental, have beautiful green . foliage; some may have blossoms; others——already bearing fruit.. Father says, “A tree shall be known by the fruit it bears.” Some of us just coming to this recognition are like the sapling just newly transplanted from the nursery ground to the open field; and after Sweet Father encour» ages us with His Sunshine and Gentle Raindrops, we are strengthened and our foundation is assured. So we must all bear good fruit, or we shall be cast out. Father said‘ in the Sonship degree, “The Tree of Life leaves are ‘for the healing of the nations, and the world is God’s Country." We thank Father for His Righteous Government Plat» form. The world is unconsciously fulﬁlling His Law and doing His Will, because did? not Father say, “I have ger- minated the atmosphere with My Presence and the Spirit of Righteousness, Truth and Justice, and Positive germs are as contagious as negative germs?" The world will not receive our Sweet Father's Blessings in the fullest measure ' until they recognize our Father——‘God Almighty here in a Bodily Form. WE THANK You FATHER. AS THOU WILT Even as thou wilt, soibe it unto thee. Thy heart the measure of the grace shall be From My rich store supplied. ** ‘ Lord, if I dip my cup into the sea, It rises full. Such cup each soul may be, Such ocean is Thy Good. THE OPEN HEART There is dew in one ﬂower and not "in another because one opens its cup and takes it in, while the other closes itself and the. drops run off. GOD rains His GO0dI1€SS and Mercy as widespread as the dew, and if we lack them it is because we will not open our hearts to receive them. PEACE WITH GOD To follow ‘GOD’S guidance is to attain to true peace. Whatever faults cling to us through our lives are chieﬂy due to our selfrwill taking the govern’ ment of our lives into its hands. As you increase in years, it will be a joy to be conscious that You 5”’ deavored, however feebly, to walk with GOD. PROVE THYSELF The brave man, in his own soul, will always try him» self by the pure eyes and perfect witness of the all’ judging GOD. IN ALL THINGS LIKE US HE doth give HIS Joy to all, He becomes an infant small, He becomes a Man of woe, He doth feel the sorrow too. Think not thou canst sigh a sigh, And thy Maker is not nigh; Think not thou canst weep a tear, And thy Maker is not near. —-BLAKE 1' . » 1;? sowme AND REAPING Honor the soul. Truth is the beginning of all good; and the greatest of all evils is selfrlove; and the worst penalty of evil doing is to grow into likeness with the bad; for each man‘s soul changes, according to the nature of his deeds, for better or for worse. §" “:9. 3 PEACE , ‘T PIANO PLA YING E THE SHORT WAY Jude S.

My dear lMr. Griffin: I have your letter of August 2nd, acknowledging the debt paid of $512.00 incurred 6 years ago, of which I AM glad to hear of the same, for such Righteous Action was sponsored by the power and Presence of MY Spirit and MY Mind among men, as I AM transmitting same within the lives of them, that Righteousness might be produced instead of unrighteousness and dishonesty——that Justice might be. produced instead of injustice and inequity, and that the Truth might be produced instead of error and im' morality. ' ~ As a great storm sweeps over the country, uproot;ing and d.estroying everything that is not ﬁrmly grounded, so is this Spirit of Righteousness, sweeping over the land, uprooting, uncovering and destroying all that which has not a positive Foundation. It is casting up the corruption that has caused men to err, to fail and die. ‘ So it is, that the millions universally, MY followers, are building up a future upon a foundation that will hold them on the Road to Success and Prosperity. But never could men individually, collectively or universally stand upon a Foundation of Righteousness, Justice and Truth, unless the same were-ﬁrstly established within theirhearts and within their minds. But as I invade their very souls with-the Light of this True ‘Spiritual ‘Understa‘nding,_ each and everyone has the Foundation within hiinself,‘ whereby themystery of how the Knowledge of God is covering the Earth is revealed, and how all mankind shall stand Uniﬁed upon a Righteous Government. I As Righteousness is featured in all of their deeds "and actions, and as all men have the foundation of Righteous» ness within them, Righteousness shall outdo every oppos~ ing factor and remain Victorious in the earth. v With appreciation for your acknowledgment of the honesty and sincerity of one of MY followers.as annex» ample of the Work of MY Mission among men, and de' siring that you might be also as I AM, this leaves ME Well, Healthy, -Joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Success’ ful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew,_joint, limb, vein and bane and even in every atom, fibre and cell of MY Bodily Form.

AS A PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGIST I AM HERE THAT MANKIND MIGHT COUNT GOD AS A LIVING FACTOR IN AFFAIRS AND LIVE ACCORDING TO HIS TEACHING Fa’rI1er's Message AI" the Banquet Table GreenI<iII Park August 23. I937, A. D. F. D. Time: 2:55 P. M. Just as He thundered down from Mount Sinai nineteen hundred years ago, FATHER again speaks, not only through the Cosmic Forces of Nature, but today He P§v‘Z§3Th?f§§f?§i§§if?§i%§$rXZii§ of the children of men, Words that are COMFORTING and CONSOLING to the heart, as one abSO1'bS them- When FATHER speaks so dynamically, HIS Words are as an EXPLOSION and they will set your hearts on a HALLOWED FIRE, and cause you tip feel SOII}11€l',l)1n-1% you have never felt before,—a feeling t at 8035 '9 mug your whole being; that is why He Is the DYNAMO OF SALVATION! Continually FATHER stresses the signiﬁcance of UNIFICATION, and as we daily UNIFY ourselves to’ gether in the Unity of Spirit, Of Mind: of Aim and of . Purpose, we can feel that PRECIOUS OINTMENT that was used by Sister Mary, running from our head to our feet like a brook or stream of fresh running water . . . this is a parable of the Mystery of how FATHER S Sweet Words anoint us as we listen to HIM daily, for HE is the WELL OF SALVATION _that giveth forth HIS Precious Words of Life to the children of men. Let us bathe our souls in the Well and be the Recipients of this Astounding Message of our Sweet FATHER, that we may daily grow in the LOVE and KNOWLEDGE of our LORD, FATHER DIVINE! In this Beautiful Gift from FATHER, many Mysteries are unfolded, and He also referred to one of the brothers testimonies who spoke of the different experiences he has had, since coming into the Truth. He mentioned how he had attended the Star Casino (a public hall that Was Used for Meetings, about three’ or four years ago), and when he saw the Banquet Table and the Delicious food, he de» sired to have some of it, and how one of the brothers standing near him had received a piece of chicken from the ..... -- Table, given by one of the Sisters, but he did» not receive any. The next day he was in the street and saw a man selling chickens, and he inquired of the man, the price of the chickens, .-and was told, they were two for forty»nine cents, and he told the man to give him six. Father explained how the Independenceof the brother brought to him that which he desired, by not begging or borrowing for same. These Beautiful Words are too Gloriv ous to withold from you any longer, so READ ON. Father sang and spoke as follows: “How good it: is to dwell together in UNITY, Dwelling in ONE, dwelling in ONE,— How good it is to dwell together in UNITY, Dwelling in the ONENESS of ‘GOD. (Second Verse) “It is like the Precious Ointment, That was used by Sister Mary,» Dwelling in One, dwelling in One,—— How good it is to dwell together in UNITY, Dwelling in the ONENESS of GOD.” PEACE EVERYONE! (“Peace, Father”, emphatically echoed the hearers.) That little composition composed many years ago, but it is well worth considering, when you realize it over and over;—realizing the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, will give all Humanity their REAL‘ EMAN» CIPATION. You have been seeking FREEDOM from lacks, from wants, from limitations,——you have been seeking FREE« DOM from misery, from all sorts of chaotic conditions. You cannot get that REAL FREEDOM, saving by the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, and yet each and every individual standing ABSOLUTELY INDEPENDENT; but by Unifying yourselves together and recognizing the Unity of the Spirit and the Aim and” the Purpose as a Living Reality, you can express IN DIVI— DUALLY, and COLLECTIVELY, — INDEPEN» DENTLY! This is an expression that will come forth among all people and for all people, as they Unify themselves together in the Unity of Spirit, and will bring an abolition to all SELFISHNESS. Selfish tendencies, selﬁsh pleasures, self’ ish indulgences, will prohibit individuals from expressing No. 23 themselves PERFECTLY,—will prohibit them from going an to PERFECTION, and having Victory over undesirv able conditions. It is a privilege to realize,——dwelling in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, will cause the very Heavens to open; ways and means will .be coming forth into expression READILY, IMMEDII ATELY, INSTANTANEOUSLY, by the relaxation of your conscious mentality. Harmonizing with the Infinite ._ It Is written: "Wheresoever two or three are gathered together in My NAME, touching and agreeing upon the thing that is needful,—there I AM or will be in the midst ,of them, to Bless the needy one.” These are ACTUAL FACTS,——we have the experience of it———when and wheresoever we Unify ourselves together and dwell in the ONENESS of the Spirit and of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, we ﬁnd SUCCESS and PROS» PERITY resulting . . . HARMONY results in the Unity of the Spirit, and HARMONY and UNITY creates with» in itself PROSPERITY, for the INSPIRATION, yea, the INSPIRER of all PROSPERITY is in evidence, when and wheresoever we Unify ourselves and identify our’ selves with the INFINITE. For this cause we are rejoicing and we are exceedingly glad as the brother said a little while ago, how he was in lacks and wants and limitations at that time. I understood him to say, he did not have a place to stay, but when he contacted the FUNDA» MENTAL harmoniously and harmonized with It, by har« monizing with those who were in harmony with It,—~the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose created an atmosphere that was HARMONIOUS, and that atmosphere that was HARMONIOUS, inspired him with an inspiration that was no longer barren nor unfruitr ful, being an inspiration of the ABUN DANCE OF THE FULNESS! The Spirit of Independence By visualizing the ABUNDANCE OF THE FUL» NESS, he brought forth the ABUNDANCE instantane» ously, apparently, in that purchased to eat,—"Give me six of them," or something like that, I think he said. He did not sow sparingly there. If he would have sowed spar» ingly, he would have reaped the fruit of the same, but by by seeking it in a LEGITIMATE and in an EVANGEL» observing the ABUN DANCE OF THE FULNESS and ICAL way by paying for it,——by not trying to beg nor borrow, but being willing to spend what he did, for what he need'ed*,—-—by so doing he created within his world of existence, the ABUNDANCE OF THE FULNESS in his consideration; no longer visualizing from a limited concept of view or point of view whichever, but visualizing the ABUNDANCE OF THE FULNESS. Do you see? (“Yes, FATHER, we do see,” affirmed the Audience.) And visu» alizing the ABUNDANCE OF THE FULNESS, being willing to pay for it and yet be independent, he produced the Spirit of INDEPENDENCE in himself, in that in stance, in that particular experience,—and after this was accomplished, the ABUNDANCE followed suit,——came forth into expression. A Practical Psychologist This is just one instance among millions, of the way others have come into outer expression .of the ABUN« DANCE, not by merely expecting something to be done MIRACULOUSLY, in a way as a magician would sug gest or express or convey to the superstitious, that he could do . . . but as a PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGIST I AM HERE for you, that Mankind might no longer live in the ' superstitious state of expression, not reckoning GOD in their consideration; but count GOD as a LIVING FAC» TOR in you and in your affairs and live according to HIS Teaching. You will become to be more practical than ever; and by being more practical, you will be more proﬁtable, for you will work in harmony with the FUN DAv MENTAL. Oh, it is a privilege to realize the Truth concerning GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE and the transmission of His MAJESTY, LOVE and MERCY for His children! How GOD through His LOVE and MERCY and TENDER COMPASSION can and will make REAL, TANGIBLE and PRACTICAL, every Positive version and assertion that has been made by those who know the Truth, and live according to Same. We are not speaking nor stressing nor considering the versions of men who be— lieve in some mythical or imaginary expression, as bringing ~ aibdut somethng from that point of view,—but as a PRAG TICAL PSYCHOLOGIST and as a SCIENTIFIC SPIRITUALIST it may be termed, bring Scientiﬁc Truth to bear in our daily words, deeds and actions, and caus» ing the very Spirit of 'GOD’S PRESENCE, His LOVE and His MERCY to be tangib-ilated, made REAL, TAN I GIBLE and PRACTICAL in the midst of this people. That is why they cannot understand ME, because of the PRACTICALITY of True Spirituality. The Practicality of True Spirituality You may be as Spiri ual as the superstitious,—may be more Spiritual and may more fanatical and more radical from a Spiritual and from a Religious point of view; but nevertheless, the PRACTICALITY of it is the thing for you! No‘ longer living in the Mythological World of ex- pression, but living in the Recognition of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE and yet realizing those things which were imaginary in your imaginary concept of things, have been made REAL, TANGIBLE and PRACTICAL and PLAIN, that you might see and understand. Then from the imaginary world of expression, I can bring down in your conscious realization and in your actual personal presence, the PRACTICALITY of True Spirituality, that mankind might learn the signiﬁcance of True Religion, as it may be termed. It is immaterial to ME, whether it is called Religion or non»Religious or Atheism, it is the same within MY Conv sideration, according to one’s version and according to the way one sees it, so will it be to him. If a person can see the Reality of something that was imaginary, to him it is a Reality. Your visions, your dreams, your versions, your concept of things, all of those mental germs, can be ma’ terially manifest and brought into outer expression, that they might be of real practical and proﬁtable service. Aren’t you glad! Anointed with the Spirit of the Infinite One Upon this Foundation if you will stand, in the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim‘ and of Purpose, you can sing in unison together with ME, . . . “How good it is to dwell together in Unity, Dwelling in ONE, dwelling in ONE,-— How good it is to dwell together in Unity, Dwelling in the ONENESS of GOD!” ‘ I « ‘- 4» .. ~ ‘ "‘ ‘ . ' ~ ‘ rt 2 :1-_ Truly might have David said;_, “It is like the Precious Ointment that was poured upon the head of one,” remem~ ber,—“and it ran down to the coat»skirts of his garment.” The Un.ity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose,—— you are anointed with the Spirit of the INFINITE ONE, Who by nature, is the AUTHOR and the FINISHER of all things, and all things are Uniﬁed to HIM by nature. Aren’t you glad! For this cause we are rejoicing and we are exceedingly glad to see and know, MY followers the Universe over, have put down and thrown away their equipments of War,——they are studying war no more but realizing at.all times, David was a Man of War in a way, . . . his mistake he made, was when he attempted to do something for‘_a SELFISH PURPOSE. We are stressing the True Life of JESUS, the Life of CHRIST as brought into outer expression through the Life and the Teaching of JESUS; we are en-deavoring t:o- emphasize It and exemplify It,——— and so we have. Nevertheless, as I have often considered; there was a time when Jesus apparently fought for the re» demption of the Temple. There was a time that Jesus apparently fought for the redemption of the Temple! He . did not do it for a SELFISH purpose. Whether it typiﬁed or was a symbol of a LEGAL or SPIRITUAL battle, or an actual PHYSICAL battle,—— JESUS drove everyone out of the Temple who sold pigeons and cloves, an.d all o-f the racketeers and grafters in His d-ay and at that time. This was a parable, parably speaking of something. You may take it to consideration and sea.rch your consience and and see if it is necessary for anything to be, cast out of your conscience and out of your consciousness. For Righteousness’ Sake Although the PERFECT PICTURE, the SAMPLE and the EXAMPLE,—JESUS went in the Temple, we are in» formed, and overthrew the table. of money«changers and drove every one of them out who sold pigeons and doves, and declared in words or words to this effect; ‘They had attempted to make GOD-’S Temple, oops House, a house of merchandise.’ Why is it that My Spirit today, must come against the racketeers, the proﬁteers, the underminers, the crooks and . the thieves of our day? Because they are the same as they ,; J ‘ ‘ were in and at: the time of JESUS, attempting to profane I I the NAME, the SPIRIT and the WORK and the MIS» SION of the ‘CHRIST on earth among His People. But when Jesus made a cord and fought them away from the i7t_;p_]_l I ' Presence of the Temple of GOD, it was an expression as though a sketch and a reflection of anger, was it not? I ‘ Although we are not encouraging such, nevertheless, as I - said, for RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE and fo-r the KING’ ' , D'OM°S SAKE, men may be obliged apparently, to do such things at times, when they shall have done away with F‘ themselves and all selﬁshness of every kind, and you are ‘ forced int:o something for RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE, in the defense of the People of ‘GOD. . Individual Independence . As I often say, I must re»stress the statement I made in the Christening of the Promised Land, this Extension and every individual; for they‘ are neither soliciting, beg’ ging nor borrowing; they are not buying anything on the search through your daily experience and your experiences, f especially,¢—I declared the INDEPENDENCE of each . Installment Plan nor Credit; therefore I declare in THEIR name, for each and all of My followers who are TRUE and FAITHFUL,— their INDIVIDUAL INDEPENDI ENCE, even as this Country did as a Nation! If your Constitutional Rights are at stake, you are willing to sac» riﬁce your LIFE for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and protect the CAUSE for which we stand; if it would cost the sacrifice of many great things. As a COUNTRY, this Country after Its Declaration of Inder pendence, would not permit another Country to come in and interfere nor undermine this Country out of its TERr RITORIES nor STATES of the Union, by no "means whatever. Suppose some other Country, even Great Britain or Spain would arise and say; ’I will go and take over the territories connected to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and under HER Flag.’ Do you think the Country would tolerate it? THE Declaration of Independence as declared by the Country as a NATION, but bespeaks the Declaration of your IN_DIVIDUAL INDEPENDENCE of which I am stressing. Every individual h.as a RIGHT by the Constitu’ tion, to have as free an access in THIS COUNTRY and in THIS LAND as another,—— therefore each and every American Citizen INDEPENDENTLY should declare his INDEPENDENCE and should -declare it INDIVIDUI ALLY as well as COLLEC-TIVELY, in the Unity; he or she should declare his or her ABSOLUTE IN DEPENDI EN CE to each and every individual or any other person, by the recognition of their Constitutional Rights being PRESERVED and RESERVED for them, until this time. Constitutional Rights of All Must Be Respected When the Country as a NATION declared her IN’ DEPENDENCE, it bespoke the INDIVIDUAL INDE» ‘PEN DEN CE of Her SUBJECTS. When each and every American Citizen is a Law»Abiding and Self»Respecting Citizen, that individual under the Constitution, should declare his or her INDEPENDENCE! And declaring your IN DEPEN DENC-E does no-t merely mean declaring it: and sitting on the stool of dornothingg but it means to stand for your ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE, even as the Nation did as a COUNTRY. Then I request the honor of all persons as American Citizens and those who are non»American, to respect the Constitutional Rights of each and all of the people, even MY Followers, even though they are not: on the welfares and depending on the Country through begging, soliciting, borrowing and steal» ing. That is why you should respect their IN DEPEND» EN CE an-d theirConstitutional Rights must be protected, or else there may be something on,——more than has been in quite some time, since the Revolutionary War began. The ‘Constitutional Rights of every individual, yea, even MY individual followers, shall be protected and they shall _have It preserved and It shall be reserved,—~It shall not be destroyed, for the MOUTH OF GOD HAS SPOKEN IT! Jot these thoughts down in your vo-ca'bularies,——GOD SHALLRULE AND REIGN on this Earth Plane under the Constitution of the United States of America! The very Spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall be LEGALIZED and shall be Universally established and recognized, and mankind MUST bow to It! Aren’t you glad! True Evangelism Shall Be Recognized I AM HERE AND I AM THERE, I AM EVERY» WHERE,—— but as the LEGALIZER of Spiritual things ‘V ‘, ‘I _ 7,.’ . .. . -.. . ... mg. .-. « ‘-: ... 6 by inspiration, I shall stand between this people and the gvorld of Legality, bringing into ACTUALITY, the Re» ;l(1;ty of True Spirituality in the Legal World of expres» - n, that mankind must reckon it as the ONLY Hope of REDEMPTION and as a STANDARD even for the Constit:ution. True Evangelism shall be RECOGNIZED and shall be LEGALIZED and REALIZED by all man» kind, and they shall recognize It and shall endorse It as a. Standard, I said, even for the Constitution of our Great Country. The Constitution and Its Amendments are endorsable, so long as it is brought .into subjection to RIGHTEOUS’ NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE,——and according to the Oath of every individuals office under the Constitution, . . . he recognized the AUTHOR and the FINISHER, as the ONLY Hope of Redemption, by getting the Name of GOD or the Bible to be the Standard of Oath, under the Constitution, for anyone to carry out his OFFICIAL DUTY. Oh, it is a privilege to realize! Yes, I said the very Constitution of our Country must recognize TRUE EVANGELISM and TRUE CHRISTIANITY, by the Standard of the Evangelical Teaching as brought forth through the Life of JESUS! Evangelism the Only Hope of Redemption \Vhy is it you are sworn in by the Bible? It is because the Constitution of our Great Country, the whole Country at large and the Government even, of this Country in other ‘Countries, must bow to TRUE EVAN’ GELISM and recognize the TRUE EVANGELICAL Life as the STANDARD! By this you are sworn in by the Bible or by the Name of GOD, as a convincement to all mankind, that EVANGELISM and the Life and the Teaching of "CHRIST as EVANGELICAL, is the ONLY HOPE of REDEMPTION, whereby mankind can bind you under the Constitution. Then I say, the Constitution Itself, must recognize the T_q1_e Evangelical Life and the Light that CHRIST has brought to mankind, and the Life and the Teaching trans» mitted, as I am bringing it into consideration. Then our Constitutional Rights must be RECOGNIZED and they , must be CONSIDERED by all of the Legal Oﬂicials, or else the Constitution of the Country will be ignored, and when those who are oﬂicials violate the Constitution, they shall be DEFEATED and IMPEACHED and DE’ THRONED from the place wherein they have been ENTHRON ED! - Your Bodies As Bottles Oh, _it is a privilege to live in the ACTUAL PRES» ENCE OF GOD! When this Spirit and Life come forth into expression,—It is operative and inculcatable, reincarne atable and reproducible; yea, It is re«personiﬁable for one and all. That is why your bodies are classed as BOTTLES in the Scripture! ‘Men do not put NEW wine in old bottles! \Vhy is the question of your body as a symbol of a BOTTLE? It is because by the Spirit, it has pre» predicted it as a BOTTLE, as the invention of Electricity was the consideration of the inventor,——he caught the lightning in a bottle, parably speaking of the Mystery of GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT transmitted and how you and all of GOD'S people would catch it! Your bodies as BOTTLES to be the EMBODIMENT of the SPIRIT, and to be the inculcators of His MIND and of His LIFE and of His ENERGY, and of all of His MENTALITY, as was in JESUS. Oh, it is a privilege to live in the ACTUALVSPRES», ENCE OF GOD, where the Life of GOD is ACTU— ALLY PERSONIFIED among you all,—no longer some thing imaginary, no longer something merely to be talked and spoken of, but to be LIVED and EXPRESSED in one and in all, and each and every one of you can plainly see your GOD! That is what it is all about! I shall not be discouraged until I shall have ACTUALLY LEGAL’ IZED the TRUE SPIRIT of CHRISTIANITY, and all mankind shall recognize it as the Standard for each and all of Humanity. Upon this Foundation. if you will stand, you will not have an occasion to fret nor worry, for if GOD is for you, you can ‘recognize His PRESENCE and know‘ in reality, NOTHING IS AGAINST YOU! How Glorious it is to dwell in the ACTUAL PRESENCE "OF GOD! Remember, in the days of Moses,—.at a certain time, GOD came down in the Tabernacle, did He not? Aren’t you glad! When you allow Him to condescend to descend, you can see Him plainly as He reveals Himself in the hearts ‘and lives of men. Aren’t you glad?! This you can at all times recognize . . . GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE, by concentration and by harmonization. harmonizing with the Scripture, the Mystery is revealed, for MY Spirit Wlll reveal it as you bring your bodies into subjection to HIS, and sincerely believe. I thank You! . As FATHER resumed His seat at the table following this Mighty and Dynamic Message, an angel arose to her feet to testify, saying ‘PEACE, Father’: this brought forth a Dynamic ‘PEACE’ in response from FATHER,———ﬁll— mg many with the vibration of the Ho-ly SPIRIT; and as the ‘angel concluded, FATHER again arose to speak, delivering the following Beautiful WORDS of LIFE, re’ ferring herein also to the statement the angel made in ‘ ‘cguoting one of the remarks of one of the visitors; that, It is too bad FATHER has such a small Body.” FATHER speaks as follows: PEACE EVERYONE: I need not say What I am, neither say VVHO I am,—— but I do say from a scientiﬁc point of view, even though you may not know Who, I can say as in the experience A of the invention of Electricity and the invention of the Radio Broadcasting System, and the receiving of the message?» and programs’ through and by the broadcasting system in your receiving set; I believe the people are con» vinced to realize that there is something DYNAMIC about ME. If it is only when the Current is turned on, I will speak - from a scientiﬁc point of View that you might understand. If you wish to get a real strong message, dial in on WOR,——turn your radio receiving set on at the time that . WOR is broadcasting. You have the witness in yourself from a scientiﬁc point A of v1ew,——you can see the DYNAMIC Words come forth ' ‘ volitionally. Nothing is done scientiﬁcally that cannot be brought down spiritually. Every Inspiration Must Be Spiritual Jot these thoughts down in your vocabularies and in. your notebooks as well, if you please. Everything that is insp1red,—in other words comes forth by inspiration in man’s understanding, from. a scientiﬁc point of view, re» member, such an expression must be in Reality SPIR» ITUAL. ?

Men use Dynamite or _[ something like that to blow up things,—when it is put forth into expression it is called a BOMB. At times DYNAMIC Words that will come forth from an indivi» dual mentally and spiritually, electrically charged with GOD’S MAGNETIC Current of GO'D°S INFINITE» NESS, _,they will come forth so Dynamically and explo» sively beyond your personal control, it is convincing to you if you did not know. If I did not know, when I speak as I have spoken, and Stand as I have Stood, and Am charged with the Mag» r ‘ netic Current of MY Infinite LOVE, when I stop speaking and a person attracts MY Attention, unthoughtfully dynamically the Words come forth into expression just the same as .a GREAT EXPLOSION. GOD Tranismiﬁing GOD'S Spirif When this speaker arose to speak a little while ago, with-out a thought the Word came forth. THIS IS A DYNAMO, THIS IS AN EXPLOSION OF DYNA» MITE,——THIS IS A BOMB! This is whatsoever it is alive about things that are put forth into Expression by inven» tion; -and so are you if you will charge yourselves up with GODSMAGNETIC CURRENT of HIS INFINITE» NESS‘and dial in on it continually, until you will be no more and you shall have lost your identity completely. That is the Mystery! ' Then the Spirit moves and forces and acts, even though you may_think it is transmitted,——you know it is not man that speaketh. Arent’ you glad! You know deﬁnitely man cannot speak like this! You know his words are not per» meating and penetrating,—you know his words cannot reach your heart. You know it is not man speaking even though you may not consider GOD is Personiﬁed; you know it is not man speaking, you know it is GOD Trans» mitting GOD’S Spirit. That is what it is all about! Even though you may not consider GOD is Personified you are convinced to believe . it is GOD Transmitted,——GOD’S SPIRIT as a broadcast» ing Message transmitted through the ether and you catch it on your set that will receive it. ' The Message ls Sufficient Now if your minds are open you will catch it by the Spirit, if you will receive it. So it is with the Words that are bro.adcast over a-broadcasting Station; if you do not get the person you will get the Message. The Message is quite sulﬁcient and at times quite efficient to give you all information necessary and to adjust matters satisfactorily. Aren’t you glad! Then I say, when oppositions. arise and cause the nothingness of -man to be described. and discerned, the ALLNESS of GOD Who-m they say I AM, is actually HEARD. and SEEN. Aren°t: you glad! M.an’s extremity is GOD’S Opportunity, you have heard them say. It is a common phrase quite often used in America, I believe,—— then in America I must extremiate MYSELF as a man that you might see and know GOD ALONE. \Vhen oppositions arise for the purpose of bringing forth the nothingness of MYSELF, or I as a Person, it is for the purpose of bringing about GOD in Reality,-- in HIS L MAJESTY, DOMINION and AUTHORITY wnad*ult»erated. Aren’t you glad! MAN'S EXTREMITY IS GOD’S OPPORTUNITY! . ._ extremiating man from every angle expressible that man might no longer be discerned, no longer be heard and no longer be seen. That is what it is all about. Then when oppositions arise you may know I shall A show you GOD! When oppositions arise I shall let you hear your GOD! . . . because man is trying to bring about the extremiation of man, although he may not be conscious of it,—— that GOD might declare HIMSELF and let you see HIM just as HE is in the midst of the children of men. I thank you. RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT CONVENTION IN TACOMA.

Dear Brother Roine: ‘M I have been waiting for a letter from you and as I did not hear from you I decided to write. You haven’t lost faith in the Holy Father? Listen here, dear brother, in all sincerity I am telling you, even if the whole world would judge Holy Father, let us not give up our Faith in Him because, truly He is what He says He is. He has given His spirit to me .and faith in Him. There» iare it is sweet to claim our childrrghts to God Who, at the present time, is personiﬁed in the Holy Father. Though everybody would desert let us keep our faith in Him and He will be the fulﬁllment of His plan. Thanks to Holy Father Divine Who has opened my eyes to see and my consciousness to understand life’s signiﬁcance. 0 world, who cannot understand how great is Father's love to humanity. It is true that by His blood on Calvary He paid the price for us and is here now to ful» ﬁll it and has condescended to be ridiculed by the World, but He will rise clothed in His perfection. Then will they realize Who He is. . " P Let us not be amongst —them~—I believe that you kn.ow Father closer than I, as you are there, since I know Him fully though I am here. Tell Ho-ly Father and all the others that in Finland there is a son who knows His Father and that Father knows His son also. I wish to be a delight to my Father and to help the activities guided by His spirit. I -am still a feeble child but Father will guide and strengthen me wth His spirit so that I can do His will to His Glory. I pray for them who do not understand Him and His great mission for humanity but who would compare Him with the mortal world. Here in Finland the newspapers are writing all kinds of trash to which I have not troubled to answer but when the time is ripe and with the strength of His spirit all the doubt and belief will be pulled out with its roots; and there will be a great revival amongst humanity and the truth will come forth to l'ather’s glory. With sorrow I have been reading how some of His own children have deserted‘ Him. The unv belief is still great amongst mankind and Father does not wish to use His power, as He is Merciful and is waiting ' until His own have recognized Him and be born in the Spirit. Soon I will receive the baptism .and spirit and power from Holy Father to fulﬁll His mission, then I will see Him and I can rejoice with My Father and with you. I thank Father“ that He will continue His mercy so that the people in Finland would also awaken as He has paid the price for all. May Holy Father Bless these my hopes. \ SHALL REIGN IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN" We now have the most beautiful summer and harvest will be good; I thank Father in behalf of the nation, and ' now, good brother, I must stop. Give my greetings and peace to Holy Father. I would write to Him but I do not know if I can write it in Finnish. a Best wishes and greetings! PAAVO KAARTINEN Seinajoki A Saaristalo, Finland.

I AM writing, through the request of Mr. Roine, who forwarded his letter from you, to ME, in which I AM glad to ﬁnd you awakened to the temperament of men, as they accept, reject and stand in wonderment, as the Works of My Mission are such as they have never known nor seen. . Indeed, men endeavor to measure arms with God, but it is because mortality is of the nature to criticize, to accuse, to persecute -and to prosecute, and because it is theoretically limited in understanding, it cannot but cast’ I" out its shadow of doubt and misunderstan.ding, and stand in rebellion -to a Power that is disturbing mortality’s‘ reign. But Righteousness Marches On, and as men unite and » join. in this great Movement for Righteousness, Justice and Truth, they shall stand in the Glory and in the Victory it shall bring. In your life individually, it will Abundantly Bless you, and as men collectively unite in the Spirit of the Same, universally we shall have a Righteous Government and all earth shall be at Peace, for mortality shall be conquered and shall be no more.

We feel that this is a righteous act that deserves much commendation and we are happy to express to YOU our sincere appreciation fo-r the spirit that prompted YOUR member, Queen Esther, to attempt to right all wrongs by making restitution for the “illrgotten” funds which she received.

Home Oﬂice, 4111 Central Avenue Los Angeles, ‘California _My dear Mr. Beaver: I AM writing to extend MY appreciation for your letter of acknowledgment of the sum of $32.66, paid to you by Miss Queen Esther for an unjust claim received‘ by her. As the Strength of a man is determined or measured by his mental and Spiritual capacity, or by the degree of understanding he possesses, millions today are looked upon as possessing a Quality that rates them high in the con’ sideration of the people. I speak from the angle of the merits warranted MY followers and from the high comr mendation received for the Work of this Teaching as it has spread throughout the world, inculcating and incar» nating within the Children of Men, the Qaulities and Characteristics of Righteousness, Justice and Truth. The supposedly intellectual do not portray character’ istics of Absolute Righteousness or of Honesty. They do not draw attention for the Godly Virtues attributed to those who claim to be followers of Mine, or followers of the Spirit and Mind of Truth as I.express and extend it to all humanity. Hence, as Righteousness consumes the Spirit, the mind and life of an individual, it is readily seen, how God in One Man is a majority. But can’ you not see, as men uni~ versally allow this Spirit of Righteousness, and Righteous’ ness includes all of the Virtues of life, to be freely and fully expressed within them, all mankind will stand upon a plane of consciousness that is above the mortal, limited and human existence they have known. And if God in One Man is a majority, just think of how it shall be when all men stand as One Man and the in all! Hence, the Righteousness of men is not the Righteous- ness of God, and it is for this Cause that I AM exalting all mankind as they enter into the Consciousness of True Spirituality, and let their lives be the reﬂections of the Virtue of the Righteousness that is of God. As the Strength of men is seen and observed by men the world over, and as the uniﬁcation of all people becomes a Realv ity, through the inculcation of» this Spirit and Mind of Righteousness within them, the earth shall be a lit place in which to live, and life shall be desired and enjoyed by all. For this ‘Cause you can see RIGHTEO-USNESS MARCHES ON. . Sincerely wishing you Well and the Success that is born of the Law of Righteousness, this leaves Me Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Successful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even in every -atom, ﬁbre and cell of MY Bodily Form.

TRUTH AND JUSTICE 4 ’ "Our Father's Message" At the Banquet Table. Greenkill Park — The Promised Land — Saturday. August 2|. I937. A. D. F. D. Time: I l:|5 P. M. Hour after hour and day after day, how patiently and compassionately the CONTROLLER of mankind’s des» tiny sits and listens to the confessions of His erring chil» dren, who, now that they have found Him at last, desire to remove that barrier which has so long separated them from their SAVIOLJR, by exposing their evil doings and forsaking them. . “Oh, for a closer walk with GOD!” has been the cry of many, and now that He has appeared unto them in the FLESH, their souls are satisﬁed, and their one great aim is to do His Will, perfecting Holiness in His Sight. But character is built through oppositons and persecul: tons, and those who have chosen to walk in this Holy Way have, like their REDEEMER, been faced by oppositions of every kind, and persecution in every form. This, however, only serves to make the true and faithful ones more deter» mined and substantiated than ever, and secure in the knowledge that the VICTORY has already been won, and all they must needs do is to stand and withstand, the great Work goes on! In this Dynamic Message delivered at the Banquet Table of Greenkill Park Saturday, August 21st, FATHER DIVINE, in His Graceful Majesty, stressed the value of the true Independence He hasestiablished in His Followers, to the world, as a sample of what will be accomplished when all will have exempliﬁed this Spirit of Independence, —-——a new Heaven and a new earth will then actually exist Universally, as predicted in the Revelation of John. This beautiful little Inspirational song was sung just before FATHER rose to speak Personally: “We have Heaven right here in Greenkill, ‘Take your eyes out of the sky . . . We have Heaven right here in Greenkill, Live the Life and you worft have to die!” SWEET FATHER, WE THANK YOU. PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace, FATHER DEAR!" greeted the great assembly.) How marvelous it is to dwell together in Unity and bring out such compositions by Inspiration through the conscious conviction and realization of the Believers. As that little composition came forth, some may think it is an expression of fanaticism, some may think it is ignor» ance,——but if you stop to consider how ignorant the people are who think within themselves there is a consolidated‘ Foundation above the sky-, commonly known as ”Heaven,” a place you will go after you’ die, how ignorant that . thought is! . . . Those who have been lifted from the imaginary concept of things can recognize your real EMANCIPATION, made real by your ‘conscious con» viction since your freedom has been manifested on the material plane. ' As this thought was brought out in that Message,—; I a Message that was given in Newark on Thursday even» ing,——I thought of how thousands and thousands have con» sidered and some have spoken of My Work and My Mission, and some have attempted to criticize it; but when you stop to consider the Spirit of Independence such as we are expressing .and inculcating in the hearts and lives of the Believers, I think America should be proud of us! Not one of My real Followers is on the Welfare! From the Welfare, from soliciting, begging and borrowing, My Followers have been truly lifted! ' GOD Has Lifted Up a Standard Then I say, the True ‘Spirit of the Declaration of In» A dependence should be a Living Reality in each and every I individual. As this Country produces the Spirit of Inde» pendence .and declares it, even so should its subjects pro» duce their individual Independence as I have stressed it! But how can a person declare his Independence so long» as he or she is dependent on others and depending on the Welfares, depending on the Government for support ‘and for protection as a person, without giving something for whatsoever they are receiving? As I said in that Message in part, we DEMAND our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS! Our CONSTITU» T IONAL RIGHTS shall be enacted in all of our en» deavors, and we shall have free access to express and to enjoy our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. For this cause, as I said in that Message to those who would attempt, or even so much as desire to interfere with it, I say HANDS OFF! I have served notice to those who would to, and even those who would not to but might hear the Message, that GOD has lifted up a Standard for His People as a Sample and as an Example for all humanity. A True Americanism ls True Evangelism V How marvelous it would be if all of the inhabitants of the United States of America could and would inculcate the Spirit of True Americansm by inculcating the Spirit of, In-dependence as America declared it, and by fulfill» ing in themselves individually and collectively the Spirit of the Constitution of the United States of America, by allowing these great Principles to be fulﬁlled in them mentally and spiritually, that they might be the expressers of True Americanism, with all of the Fundamentals that America and Americans stand for! When this is established in the individual, the indi» viduals will be able to express .and manifest True Ameri» canism, as it I may be termed-, but in My Version, when it shall have been established in the Spirit of RIGHT» EOUSNESS, it will be True EVANGELISM! When the Spirit of Americanism is converted to RIGHTEOUS» NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and shall have been estab» lished in each and all of us under CHRIST JESUS, then and there that which is called now “Americanism” will be true EVANGELISM, for it shall go forth to all of the other countries of our present Civilization, and teach them the way of Salvation by living Evangelically according to My Teaching. When All the Earth Shall Recognize the Law of the Spirit of Life Oh, how marvelous it will be when the very Spirit of GOD, through transmission, shall have been Universally established in the people, and all of the inhabitants of the earth shall recognize the Law of the Spirit of Life that was in the CHRIST. When this shall have been estab» lished in the hearts and lives of the children of men, there will be no longer woe on the earth among them, for GOD shall at this time “wipe all tears from their eyes . . . there shall be no more sorrow, no mo-re crying, for the former things are passed away, and there shall be no more sea.” What a privilege it is to live in the "PRESENCE of GOD when the very PRESENCE of GOD creates such an atmosphere and such an environment, until your very nature will be changed from the Adamic state of con» sciousness to the CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS, and you will become to be partakers of the Nature and the Char» acteristics of your SAVIOUR, .and the Heaven will be a Living Reality on the earth plane where you are now liv» ing. This is the Mission of CHRIST! CHRIST came to _ fulﬁll His Mission to bring about the real Standard of liv» ing as I have lifted it through true Evangelism. Aren’t you glad? (“So glad, FATHER!” assured the hearers.) lmperteiction Shall Not Exist Mankind shall recognize GOD’S ACTUAL PRES» ENCE! . . . Mankind shall realize GOD’S ACTIVITIES among His People, and shall no longer seek dishonesty, in» competence and untruth, and the corruption of the world such as man has been corrupted lwith,—but GOD HIM» SELF, through His Condescension, shall speak and explain in their language, that they might understand Him. As I aforesaid, the True Evangelism that was brought to the earth plane through the Person and Mission of the CHRIST, Whose Personal Name was JESUS, it shall be Universally established, and other versions shall be eradi» cated, for such as imperfection shall have no longer an existence among this People when CHRIST shall have been rightfully placed in them in the Positive Concept ‘ of the Mystery. » Oh, it is a privilege to live in the ACTUAL PRES» ENCE of GOD! As I said in that Message, we shall have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT! The RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT cannot be established saving as man» kind bring themselves into subjection to RIGHTEOUS» NESS, to TRUTH and to JUSTICE, saving’ as they are willing to be dealt with with the Spirit of TRUTH, of RIGHTEOUSNESS and of JUSTICE, that the -Accu» rateness of GOD might be manifested and the Spirit of His Presence seen among all of the na1;ion3_ The Followers Are Independent I need not say more,———I believe I have said enough in that Message, but apparently I cannot stress it too vividly, for it is essential for all of the people to see where I stand. There are millions and millions today, who are not Follow» erspf Me religiously, will stand for Me politically, socially and economically. There are millions who had been willing to join hands with us for that for which we stand, that we might lift up a Standard for this People and not be handi» capped by the children of men. , Then I say, as I have said, My Followers are Indepen» dent - - - they are expressing the True Independence of Truth and real ,,Americanism! You cannot express True Americanism unless ‘you can express the Spirit of the Constitution and the Declaration of the Independence of this country in yourself as an individual. How can you express the True Independence that the country declared __ 35 -3 neti0I1, unless you express it in yourselves as indi» viduals and prove to the world conclusively that you as in» dividuals are Independent and are not leaning on the arms of "man for help, neither depending on the country to feed and to Shelter V011, Without giving practical service for whatsoever is done for you? Victoriously a Conqueror . As I often say, why is it men will try to prohibit such an Unfoldment as this Unfoldment that is the actuated ex» pression of True Americanism of which they are stressing as the FUNDAMENTAL of SALVATION‘? They are declaring the True Americans living in this country and in J others will express honesty, competence and truth. When ._ A -at ~ .‘—caan»'-rmnr:a nm;a , ,..‘;-‘.,»»y.~ \ , I-‘V _v xv: l2 ‘ you ﬁnd one, or a few, who will produce the Spirit ‘of such and bring it_ to fruition,—_——you should not attempt to interfere with it! ' Thatis why I say distinctly, HANDS OFF! HANDS OFF if there be any person or persons, organizations or nations or people, desiring to interefere with it! . . . I say HANDS OFF!‘ This Movement has come through many dangers, toils and snares, through many criticisms, many accusations and much persecution under the name of prosecution, but it has always carried within itself the Victory! . . . So I stand today VICTORIOUSLY a CON» QUEROR wheresoever I go! Aren’t you glad? As I said a little while ago in that Message that was given, why is it that men should LAY OFF especially? It is because we are expressing the True Americanism, in other words True Evangelism, as it may be termed Amer» icanism when Americanism shall have been brought to RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and’]USTICE, and shall have been truly converted and brought into subjection to this FUNDAMENTAL. Declaring Independence in Deeds and Acfions Then as I aforesaid, why is it? It is because we are ex» pressing Independence that the country declared as a na» tion. We are expressing it as true American -Citizens, declaring our Independence by our deeds and by our ac» tions, fulﬁlling the Spirit of the. Declaration of Independ» ence as a nation, as the only pierson and persons that de» clare it in words, deeds and actions, unless they can and will produce the Spirit of Independence and declare it in the actuated words of expressionf Oh,‘ how marvelous it will be when all of the inhabitants of the earth shall see eye to eye and faceito face, when" all recognize the FUNDAMENTAL for which I stand’, for then and there there will be no more depressions, lacks, wants .and limitations, for GOD HIMSELF will be the outward expression in the hearts and lives of all of the children of men! There are many things I could say, but apparently it is beyond our power of such to -explain the great signiﬁcance of such a recognition,——realizing your Independence in this HOLY ETERNAL NAME, realizing what you can do by standing ﬁrm and standing in the Liberty wherewith CHRIST has set you free! As I said, why is it men should keep their hands off this organization, as it may be termed, and the Followers or Believers, as they may be classed to be? Because every Follower and Believer is expressing true Honesty, Competence and Truth by paying all of his old bills, by owing no man, by buying nothing on the in» stallment plan, by buying nothing on credit, by getting off of the Welfare, and by receiving nothing as -donations, love offerings or any such expression, by refusing to take up collections, by refusing to seek exemption from paying taxes becauseof their religion! ' Nof Seeking! Exem'pl'ion from Taxes Can you not see this Work and this Mission. -is well worth considering? Can, you not see it is worth your con» sideration and the consideration of all of the tax»pa.yin.g public, as well as those who do not pay taxes? Not one of,” MY Followers is seeking exemption from taxes,-—buying!' property all over the world and increasing and‘ improving 1t, increasing the value of it and improving some of the _ places three hundred percent and more. They have in» creased and improved property right here in Ulster County from two to three hundred percent in_some places, without the consideration of the taxes being advanced because of the improvement of the property, wihout seek». ing any exemption from taxes because of -the new im» provements such as they should get through RIGHT» EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE. According to the Law, when you newly T-build, why, you should get exemp»’ tion from taxes for so many years. ( RIGHT to live and express Independently, and we will continue to do it, for if anything tries further to interfere ' with it, the number will be increased and multiplied byas many more. Aren’t you glad? GOD in His Own Words, _ through His Own Tabernacle, as being termed‘ man, could speak today, and tomorrow ﬁve thousand more could be right up here! Will Undermine False Religious Teaching We shall have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT and l we shall undermine the Foundation of the version of the. Religions, the Foundation 0-f the so»called “Heaven” that has been in the versions of men, in their fondest imagina» ' tion. We shall undermine such a Foundation, for John de» clared in the Revelation: “The ﬁrst heaven and the ﬁrst earth are passed away.” This is the Mystery of the true cancellation of your course in mathematics, to work can» cellation on your imaginary Heaven and the imaginary Heaven of the Religions, that the True and the Real Heaven might come from out of your fon-dest imagination. and" be established in reality among the people. That is what it is all about! . That _is why men cannot understand Me and My Mis» sion and Message! . . . because I am undermining the Foundation of the Religions’ “Heaven” that we may no longer look for the Heaven above the sky, as I afore» said, some place you will go after you die, but realizing L the sky is nowhere and is nothing, but everywhere where there is nothing. Arent you glad? _"Lifi' Up Thine Eyes" “Lift up thine eyes unto the hills,” in other words, do as David said you should, “Lift up thine eyes to the hills from whence ‘cometh your strength”——'Wisdom, Knowl» edge and Understanding, coming forth into expression from your fondest imagination, through the relaxation of your conscious mentality. As long as your conscious men» Then I say, we DEMAND the CONSTITUTIONAL tality is active in the act of thinking mortalvmindedly, in the act of thinking limitedly from the mortal concept of things, according to the Religions’ Versions, it is a. matter of impossibility for you to draw from the Fount of GOD’S ‘OMNISCIENCE, which is ﬂowing so freely for His People. But the Scripture is actually fulﬁlled today, and I am the FULFILLER. “There is a Fount open in the House of King David, for sin and for all uncleanness,”—fwhich will cleanse you from all ﬁlthiness of the ﬂesh and spirit, and will also purge you of your mortal concept of things, and will establish your going in the Land of the Living, and will give you information fro-m the Fount of GOD’S OMNISCIENCE! Advancemenf of Chrisfianify Truly might have one said: “Rise and shine, foryour Light has come and the Glory of GOD has risen upon us.” Therefore, “with Joy let us draw water out of the Wells of_ Salvation.” Can you not see the Well of Salvation is open wide, the Fount of GOD’S OMNISCIENCE is ﬂow» ing so free for one and for all? Now, DRINK until you shall have drunk your full supply! . . . then your soul will be s-artisﬁed. It is a glorious privilege to be lifted from the mortal concept of things, from the mortal versions of men, from your preconceived ideas and opinions, and from all orthodoxy, that you might no longer go by the imagina» tion of the diﬂerent Religions, but your fondest imaginar tion will give birth to the reality, that you might no longer observe things from an imaginary point of view, but that the Truth concerning all things may be with you. Aren’t you glad? I I ﬁnd men ready to criticize the Mystery! You can see science and invention advancing! . . . You can see Civiliza« tion has advanced Inﬁnitely! . . . But yet they cannot be» lieve in the advancement of Christianity and of its Under’ standing. The ‘Christian Understanding should advance ‘speedily as science and invention advances. Aren"t you glad? If science and invention can advance so quickly and so fa.r»re-aching, how much more should it be with you who are spiritually quickened and- awakened? Finding the Real Heaven Lift up your eyes and observe the Truth, and GOD HIMSELF, through His Condescension, will be with you and will inspire you with Wisdom, Knowledge and Una derstanding, and will lift you far above your ancestors orthodoxy, for in that they died, they died unto sin, but in that they live transmitted and reincarnated, they live unto GOD! Now let them live in you with an Advanced Light of Spiritual Civilization, inspiring and advancing your Understanding scientiﬁcally and -accurately, until you will be able to observe the PERFECT PICTURE and see It as It is. I3 How marvelous it is to be free from all human super’ stition, bringing your. fondest imagination to your con» scious conviction and realization, that you might no longer live in that state of expression,——only in the world of imagination,—living in the real here and now, where GOD is made real to the children of men. John did say, “I saw a new Heaven and a. new Earth coming clown from GOD out of Heaven” _ . out of the Religions’ imaginary “Heaven”, and the imaginary GOD in your consideration might no longer be reckoned, but GOD HIMSELF, through His Condescene sion, bringing such a reality of your fondest imagination into your conscious conviction and realization, you could and would substantiate yourself in such a recognition, and there is where you will ﬁnd the real Heaven. Live in the Recognition That is why you see PEACE exhibited and manifested. You see it manifested here because it is the Spirit of that fondest imagination, and your imaginary concept and version of Heaven have become to be a Living Reality, a}sl GOD, through His Condescension, has established it on t. e earthplane among -the children of men. Now let us live in this recognition and every desirable expression and every desirable Blessing will no longer be in your desir- ‘ able im38!n3ti0ﬂ. but GOD, through His Condescension, vﬁill cause those things to a Living Reality,——wi1l cause t em to be made real, tangible and practical, and cause all discordssuch as you have established to be dispelled once and forever from among us. , ‘T3793 I1€g3~t1Ve_ has been a living reality! . . . you all know it. _ ou have visualized the negative through your imagiv “N103, and you have stressed more vividly on the negative as 3,1’ €311tY than you did the positive. You thought it was possible for the undesirable and the negative as you ima- g_1I1€d it to be a reality, «but you did not think it was pos« sible ‘for the positive to be a reality! Even though the positive was established vividly in your consciousness in your fondest imagination, you could not bring your yer» sion to the earth plane! You thought it would remain in §vI:SteII:IYe;ayen 1,0 lI))1::y:VVl1a.t saidi JESUS concerning the “Let ‘Thy Kingdom come and Thy Will be done.” The Will of GOD must come on earth as it has been in your fondest imagination. But the negative has been active! . . . the negative has been a reality, for you established your imagination concerning the negative expression and the undesirable condition. You established such in your cone scious consideration until you caused those conditions to be a reality! Now, ibeloved ones, since you have reversed your gears of thinking to a ‘certain degree, reverse them in the en» tirety, that your negative thinking in your imagination concerning undesirable conditions shall no longer be a liv» ing reality, . . . by you making such. things and such expres» sions be real to you. But reverse them and allow the POSITIVE, the DESIRABLE, to be made real, and if you do, Heaven will be yours on the earth plane in reality, for the negative shall have been eradicated and dispelled once and forever from among us. I thank you. I4 THE WATERS ARE TROUBLED. STEP IN NOW AND BE HEALED OF ALL YOUR AFFLIC- TIONS. SAYS FATHER DIVINE Physician, Welfare and Civic Workers Laud Father Divine at 63rd Street Forum NEW YORK, N. Y.—It is said, Politics without the Church is hopeless, and in a more recent version it is said, Politics without FATHER DIVINE is a failure. This was made a reality on Wednesday, August 11, at the 63rd Street Righteous Government; Forum, when FATHER scientiﬁcally and philosophically mixed in a most wonder» ful way, Politics and Religion, imparting HIS words of Spirit and Life to mankind, imploring them to “step into the waters that are now troubled as a result of the pro» secutions and persecutions of the people, and be healed of all their afflictions.” “The people are the waters that were troubled,” he said, “step in now. I will cease the troubled waters soon.” The planks for the occasion were read, and several letters from “Righteousness Marches On” in the “Spoken Word,” after which the chairman, Miss Freedom, opened the meeting for comments. Bro. Guileless, a political worker, told of visiting a political meeting and observing the insincerity of the polie ticians and their deceptive tactics in using race and segrer gation issues as a means of polling votes, which is in ex» treme opposition to the Fundamentals of good government. Mrs. Martha Kindness Dodge, State Welfare Chair» man, of Los Angeles, California, was next to thank FATHER for her trip to see His Body, and to tell of the work carried on in Chicago, -and St. Louis, where she stopped. She said FATHER was needed there. She also thanked HIM for giving her a private coach, where she could display HIS picture in the window undisturbed. “I gave away 200 copies of the Spoken Word,” she said, “to the many who wanted to learn more of FATHER DIVINE’S work. I was here two years ago, now I have come back for redemption. She also recited the accom~ plishments of the Peace Mission work in Los Angeles, and invited as many as could to atten.d the State Con» vention there on September 24, 25, and 26. Bro. Dodge, whom she introduced, thanked FATHER for healing him after seven doctors had failed to cure him of cancer, from which he suffered many years, and which was gpnly relieved by FATHER, after the brother w.as car— riediinto the meeting. “No words can express my thanks to YOU, FATHER, fo-r what YOU have done for me.” He said, “If I was permitted to write into history the names of great individuals, I would write the name of FATHER DIVINE ﬁrst.” Miss Grace Leman, of the Research Department of the? Righteous Government, cited the many Bills passed the State Legislature, and said only FATHER°S Spirit an'c1,.’z‘ Mind could bring about the passage of those on certain issues. She also cited the putting aside of the Anti»Lynch; T I Bill, until the next session. ‘ V Dr. Broadman, a practising Physician, read several Planks of the Righteous Government Platform, and ably, gave his views, saying, “Do not be inﬂuenced by Politie ‘ " cians, who come in our midst with radical views which " are contrary to our belief. We will listen, but that’s all.” The meeting was interspersed with songs, solos, inspire.» a « . .. tions and testimonies, Father having spoken earlier in the , a j": ~ .. _ evening. At 12 :45 A. M. the testimonies were still rolling, ‘ * I I and as Father left the meeting closed with His glorious words of wisdom still ringing in our ears, hearts, and minds. ’ THANK YOU FATHER PLEASANT POOLS OF PEACE We will “publish peace upon the mountains.” We will meditate upon the blessings of peace beside pleasantpools. “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadr eth me beside still waters——and He keepeth me in perfect peace because my mind is staid upon He restoreth my soul . . . Thou preparest a table before me.” ' There is peace in the world. “The law of peace has come to stay,” says Abdul Baha. “The angels of peace are hovere 3 ing above our heads. We are daily advancing on the path of peace. The army of peace is being recruited from among all nations and peoples. The Lord of Hosts is ~ reinforcing them.” Peace is an inner attainment. War is an outward ex’ A I pression of the condition of the mind within——the mind of confusion, of hatred, of malice, envy, passion -and strife. War comes from those who do not have “peace of mind” by those whose ﬂesh lusteth and warreth against the spirit. Peace—“peace of mind” is ﬂashing like radio signals to a — ' V stormrtossed and distressed world—to those with warring hearts. Peace, be still! The Master of Love who spoke those words and caused a great calm to still the raging waves ‘ now says “Peace!” to the world and bids the turbulent warring minds of men to be still. Peace restoreth the soul. The stilled waters are the pools of peace in the minds of those whose ears hear the signal‘ of armistice. It is a peace that passeth all human under» standing. It is a sound which once a man hears he. will never again carry arms for any cause. “Blessed .are those who are enlisted in the ranks of Peace.” “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of GOD.” Peace is like a quiet flowing stream of consciousness. Bathe in this stream and it will restore a wounded and shattered life. Peace, peace, won» derful peace. It ﬂows like a river forever and ever. It is wonderful———this peace!

It has’ been the eco» nomic ideal of men in all ages. From time to time in his» tory, men have made efforts to put it into practice, b-ut the forces of selﬁshness have again and again succeeded in putting the idea down. In the fourth decade of the last century the consciousness of mankind in general was pre» pared far enough to put the idea to a test. Since then the cooperative movement» has spread over the greater part of the world and has become a factor in the economic world. But, together with the wheat the tares have grown also. They were needed for the growth of the wheat. But when the wheat is ripe, the tares are no longer needed; the harvest will separate them. ' . “The pure idea of service will stand freely, unhampered - by the commercial spirit. Weeds of selﬁshness have grown also, because the managers of the cooperative movements in the different parts of the world have deviated from the original, fundamental motive. “The Personiﬁcation of the Perfect" Principle of co» operation, FATHER DIVINE, is now teaching and demonstrating this new order of things from the angle of the Fundamental Principle, which is the only guarantee’ of perfect and lasting success. He wants His followers to do the same. The cooperative work is the visible expression of the unity of capital and labor. When these two factors. cooperate universally, there will be no more lack, want, poverty and limitation, but there will be plenty for every» one everywhere. There will be no more hoarding of money for selﬁsh purposes. Under this new order men will be’ come independent. Justice will be an actual reality on the economic plane, right here on earth, as it is in Heaven, or in the invisible, mental and spiritual realm.” ‘ The above article is published in English and its reading content and words selected from it such as: age, history, effort, wheat, tares, harvest, ‘weed, money, plenty, plane, , etc., with their phonetic sound and the German equiva», 7 '~le‘nts are given as a practice lesson in English. A FORECAST A brother living inlthe town of B—————, soon after be» coming interested in FATHER, met .a sister living in the city of R at one of the New York City Forums and was invited to the meetings of the extension at R , as there was no Peace Mission branch in B————. At his first visit to the extension he was askedto play a piano solo, as it was known -that he was a musician. A young sister played for the children’s songs of. praise very capably, but was unknown to the visitor, ‘as were all the others present except the sister who had invited him. After the close of the meeting, this sister approached the brother and asked, “Did you ever play the organ in a church in B——?” The reply was “Yes.” “My father (so/called) was sexton in that church and I have heard you play there many times,” said the sister. The brother at once recalled the man spoken of, although it was some years since he had been organist of the church, and he had never met the sister before. He did remember that the sexton had said he had a daughter who played the piano .and had once asked him to procure a piece of music which he wished to get for the girl. Following this introduction, the young sister related how she had’ been seeing all day in mental vision, the choir of the church mentioned above, as the singers moved through the aisles in procession or stood in the stalls, and hearing its music, as she had done so many times when present at the services. Neither brother nor sister had any thought of the other previous to the meeting, for neither had been mentioned to the other by anyone else. However, in this unusual manner FATHER presented the spirit of the brother to the sister before their actual meeting, through the associations with which he had been connected in her mind.

The only way to prove your declaration to the world, “The LORD has come,” and “GOD ALONE SHALL REIGN,” imparts FATHER DIVINE to the great audience, is by keeping My , Commandments, and living according to the RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM. You cannot convince the world of your belief and prove the authenticity of it, unless you are a true Disciple of the PRINCIPLES which you advocate. This is FATHER DIVINE’S Teaching to the people, and what can be truer and more signiﬁcant than that version? In this, you are expressing the reality of ,yourself——you are living a dual zlife, expressing one thing and declaring another. This is the Work of CHRIST on earth among men, causing men to be the identical Expression and Expresser of their inward conviction, or in other words, being REAL. Man’ has never been real. The falsity of man has been developed to so great an extent that it seemed more natural to express falsity than reality, and by reason of same, man has become to be a traitor and an enemy to himself. He brought misery, sorrow and woe to himself, and occasion to reflect over his deception with penitence and regret. Despite all of this, he was not’ sufficient in himself,‘ neither did he have suﬂicient will«power to cor» rect his suffering‘ condition, but GOD in Tender Comr l passion, knowing the frailties of man and the weakness of the ﬂesh, Condescended to come to the Earth Plane where man was, that he might not continue to live in. his woeful existence under the curse of deceit and de« ception, and continually pay the price of sin in death, in the forfeiture of his life. For this reason, FATHER DIVINE, the only True Friend to man, came treading the Winepress all alone, that HE might Emancipate man from the bondage of sin, and liberate him mentally, physically and Spiritually upon the Mount of GOD’S Understanding where the Glo»Rays of His Heavenly Sunlight light up the limited understanding of man, and penetrate the density of his human mentality that HE might comprehend the things of Spirit and discern his SAVIOUR as HE is in a Tangible Bodily FORM. With this accomplishment, FATHER DIVINE is bringing forth a new Revelation to the people; HE is producing a New Dispensation and creating and re- creating .a New People, in fulﬁlment of Scripture. Then, since this is true, let every Follower, Disciple, Believer or Friend of the Universal Mission of PEACE, be true firstly to GOD and then to himself, by living one hun» dred percent Evangelically, according to the Teaching of FATHER DIVINE. There is no other way to prove the reality of our Assertions, Aﬂirmations and Declara» tions to the world than by the True SAMPLE and EX’ AMPLE, the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIGHT, the FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE PERSONIFIED, GOD, FATHER DIVINE. BLESSED REDEEMER, we thank THEE One of the Angels sang A. very appropriate Song, which FATHER refers to frequently in this MESSAGE, and which could be regarded, from the angle of Re?‘ ligion, as the ‘Text of the MESSAGE. . 1‘; :‘-:‘:.' .1?’ 7. 1‘53i‘-‘‘~';':§:’* I4 “FATHER, teach me how to let go and LET GOD, FATHER, teach me how to let go and LET GOD, Then I know I’ll be with YOU, and I’ll be happy all my way. FATHER, teach me how to let go and’ LET GOD.” (Right here FATHER rises, and speaks as follows:) PEA-:C-E EVERYBODY: ”(_“Peace, FATHER DEAR!” ‘retu‘rped ‘the ‘great Se-xv clamation of the vast multitude.) Here we all are again, and there I sit and ‘stand, all in. One and One in all, the Life’s Essence of your Soul, the real Inspiration of your GOD‘ as information for one and all. Aren’t you glad? That little Composition as a request should be con’ sidered: “FATHER, teach me how to let go and LET GOD.” I just wish to convey a thought as a sketch and a reflection to teach you how to let go and LET GOD. Firstly, I wish to say, ‘this thought is not to the Singer individually, nor is it to this Singer especially, but as a Message to those who consider or have not considered it, but have sung it: “FATHER, teach me how to let go and LET GOD.” How +0 Le"r Go and Le'|' GOD I wish to convey a thought to you for one and all who are concerned; the first step to teach you how to let go and LET/GOD, is for you to DENT yourself from every angle expressible and be selfrdenied in your ‘U67’ sions to the degree whereby you will be denied in angles that are inexpressible. The angles that cannot yet be ex’ pressed, you must bedenied in them that GOD might have an access to express in them. That is the mystery. That is the first step; but remember, to let go and LET GOD, those ideas and opinions, your ,;pre«conceived ideas and opinions, your present conceived ‘ideas and opinions and all of your versions and the versions of others are to be RELAXED. To let go them, loose up on ‘them that GOD might have access in the act o-f ‘His Duty in the manner and way HE Wills to express, to insert and in» ject and rcvconceive His Opinion within. you. I “Let go and LET GOD.” GOD is putting forth H-is Versions concerning many things and: putting forth ‘His Expression according to the same; therefore, the different. angles -of expressions in the great Machinery of Life, you should LET GO at every angle and on every angle, and’ in every expression expressible, and in the ways that are inexpressible that GOD might express in Eritirety. Teach you how to let go and LET GOD. Your ideas and your opinions, your present‘ ideas and opinions, your- preeconceived ideas and opinions-'=and the versions and. opinions of others‘ must be VRELAXED and let go once and forever. This consists of many things that maybe of seeming interest to you, yet “because they are your (. ideas, because they are your opinions, you mustilet go them and allow GOD to act according to His Plan and according to His lPurr1pose. Blessings in Low Bus. Fares While sitting ein‘My Oﬂice attending to affairs this .Afternoon, I thought; of how I have .put MYSELF “on. the S‘-POT,” trying to do good for the children of men. If you might, or if ' you would retrace your thoughts -back to around‘ 1930 up until 1932, when your bus ﬁfare on’ Outings to New Rochelle counted” something like what you have to pay now in, connection with The IVEACE MISSION MOVEMENT all the ‘way to Bridgeport. New ‘-Roche‘lle may be somewhere about tonegthird the distance to Bridgeport, but: remember what you did have topay until I got on the scene——and not only came on the scene, but got on the job After comin.g on thescene, and getting on the job MYSELF in opposition to those who were called “My Follow'ers” and all others, I lifted ‘up a Standard against all persecutions for the benefit of the general public. Where your prices on the chartered ‘buses to go from hereto Stamford, Connecticut, about half ‘the distance from here to Bridgeport, you know what you used to have to pay. But: by getting on the scene, through co- operation and requesting the Spirit of MY PRESENCE to insert -and inject My Versions in the Followers of Mine, to charter ‘buses and ;purchase buses and let them out, or make ways and means that the passengers could go for $.75, from New York City -.all the way to Bridge- port, just about half the fare you used to have to-pay to go just about half that distance. That is why men are in opposition to t.his ‘Great FUNDAMENTAL ‘today, because I stand for the common people and stand 1IND'*E— PENDENTLY; but remember, you can only accomplish that which you may endeavor by ‘taking a stand in o'ppo— sition to everything that opposes you. “Be substantiated in faith and unshaken in conﬁdence.” Then I"\say: “Let go and LET GOD,” that is the way to do. Speaking in Actions These are some few of the points of view that I have taught you in the actuated way of Teaching, in the action of My “Words when I AM actually speaking, for “Actions.speak louder than words.” That is the why I can tell ‘you what I have done andlagain tell you what I have said. I AM speaking’ in actions; man can observe it as I manifest it. Then Isay, I AM teaching youhow to -let -go and LET GOD. Let go your versions, “your _ ideas and your opinions concerning all things, and let GOD’S Ideas, ‘GOD’S Opinions come in the place of yours and yours to be discarded once and forever renouncing firstly yourself and yourself"s vtendenoies wand fancies completely. Aren’t you glad? (“So Glad!” re— sponded the -Assembly.) ‘ You can, and you are ‘being taught how to let and 11/ET ‘GOD. ‘He're c,otne!th_ the ‘first issue put: into -expression: you all may recall the Message Indivir dually and directly I sent to the Rialto iBus Company, the "Twentieth Century Bus ‘Company, and other lBus Companies, stressing and beseeching them by request to DEAL IUSTLY, but when they failed 5 to DEAL JUSTLY according ‘to My Plan and Purpose, which was a request to deal according to My RIGHTEOUS ‘GOVERNMENT PLATFORM, of which I had -not yet drafted, bu.t it was actually enacted in our daily Teach— ing of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and of TRUTH and. of fair and square dealings. They failed t:o adhere to My rMes» sage, they were quickly _put out of business. :I mean the Rialto Bus ‘Company and the Twentieth Century Bus Company and other concerns went out of business be» cause they failed to adhere to My Teaching, and -refused to accept of My MESSAGE as I gave it. Aren’t you glad? (“So glad!” commented the Followers.) ‘GOD Alone ‘Shall IReign l31:';Then ,.-I say, at.'this NAME of Whom you say,_.,I AM, “every knee must bow; every tongue must con- fess”; but you can only cause each and everything to bow and -confess by -accepting of the Teaching, “How .to let: go and LET GOD.” A . When-you bring your bodies into subjection to My Versions, to My Ideas and to My Opinions, by the RE’ 0-f your conscious mentality and by S':’I‘«ILLING yourselves as individuals, then and there you will'5be declaring to others with whom you come in contact, and to those who may be concerned, “GOD ALONE SHALL REIGN)” I Now do not say“G-OD ALONE SHALL REIGN,” unless you -mean to let_ go and ‘LET GOD. If you do not let GOD have ‘full access in you, -over you, through you and over -your affairs, you cannot declare in reality, “GOD ALONE SHALL REIGN,”‘but if you let go and‘ LET G"-OD in reality, GOD ALONE SHALL REIGN in you a.nd .in your affairs and -in the ‘things that concern you. That 'is_ the mystery. Then let your versions go- let A -the versions of others go, RELAX your conscious mentality and ?S'=IlILL yourselves as individuals that GOD- might speak and act within you, that you might be STILL and be no longer heard nor seen. This the way you can let go and LET GO-D. ’ True Spirif of Independence . “Teach me how to let go and LET GOD.” These thoughts are well worth considering. -Daily I AM teach— ing "you the Mystery, that you might act it out spon- taneously and volitionally by the impulse of the «moment, by the ‘RELAXATION of your conscious mentality, through concentration on the FUNDAMENTAL. If you do, then and ‘there, right here and right now, you will be taught how to let go and LET GOD. “Teacli me -how to let go and ‘IJET GOD.” Not one _ .of My real 'I-lollowcrs would -be ‘on the wclfarcs. '\?»/‘lay? Because you ‘would be persistent in -your ambitions to produce the true Spirit of Independence, that you .-might stand in the Liberty wherewith CHRIST has set you FREE and be not again entangled with the yoke of bondage. By this, I AM teaching you how, to let go «arid LET G-OD. ' ' Not one of My True Followers would owe a debt. They would ..pay all of their honest bills; ‘I mean HONEST debts. ‘Men may make debts and accuse yougof debts that you do not owe. The crooked politicians and the crooked legal representatives will do such, but when you 1-know you owe a just and an honest debt, you would pay it whatsorever it cost. You would owe no manan honest debt which was actually and rightfully due -him, for you could not = produce the True Spirit of -RIGHT’ EOUSNESS of‘ which IAM stressing. and advocating unless you deal _]USTLY between yourself and your fellow—brother. . ;, , i ?a7y -‘As Yjo,uiGo1;e'ncl Owe %No -Man, f-1:1 42 "- Q‘ ‘i I x ,1 ‘v ;’.'_ , ,--31' This is the way you can let go and LET GOD, by denying your sense of feeling, by denying your versions, by denying your ideas and your opinions, by. denying your "human" fancies, your human ,.pleasures,'and all of their tendencies.‘ This is thevway ‘I can teach you and show you how ..-to let go and LET GOD, andione of the worst things you can do,.after._ paying all of your old bills, would be in,th__is ‘Day§and‘at this time, to make bills that would be -an‘ honest debt and would notlxpay it. c . How can you claim ‘to be a -representative or Fol» lower of ‘Mine, and owe your grocery‘ bills, owe your meat bills and ..owe‘any bill now since you know TMIE? V How can you make a ‘bill after you have declared you know ‘andiwill not pay as you go? For this, you are not letting go and ‘letting ‘GOD have His Way with you. How can you dare to rob GOD directly-or -indirectly by refusing to pay your small zrent bills, -such as you have to pay now since I came.- Anybody who will not pay $2;O0 or ‘$3.00 per week. for their rent fbill, it is as plain as I can tell them, they are not ‘trying to let GOD and let go, for ‘My Version is: “YOU ‘PAY AS ‘YOU GO and OWE ‘NO MA L” That is why I’-I -cut the cost of living from ﬁfty, yea, sixty " and even seventy~frve percent, and ‘more, for the ‘beneﬁt / of you ‘having .a -chance toilet go and LET '-GOD. That is the -way you can let go and LET GOD. Visualize ffhe %Pasiﬁve You are not serving -ME, if you will not pay your honest tbills. You are notliving according to My Teach’ ing, and you are not following TME, "if you do not let‘ go your former tendencies, fancies and pleasures in the act of dishonesty, incompetence and untruth, and let GOD have His Wagjixvitlx you. _vThase points are well worth considéring. I AM stressing that point this Morning, for your oonsideration, that. you might recognize the signiﬁcance of GOD‘S ACTUAL PRESENCE and visualize the POSITIVE . instead of the negative by letting go your former vet» sions, your former ideas and opinions. That is the way to let‘ go and LET GOD. ’ A I Again I wish to say, how can one——or, not one of My real Followers would owe an honest debt and es pecially as I aforesaid, when you do not have to pay more than $2.00‘ per week for your sleeping accomrno» dation, and at times all the way down to $1.00 per week; and then you will ﬁnd some who will claim to be My Followers who will not even pay those simple bills. It is plain to see and to know they are not trying to let go and LET GOD. , Now to let GOD, as I say, is to let GOD’S Version I be a living reality in you; let GOD’S Opinions and let G-OD’S Ideas have full access in you, by doing exactly what His Ideas and His Opinions say do. That is the only way to let go and LET GOD. Daily Showing the Mystery These thoughts are well worth considering; th-en if you live exactly according to My Teaching, you will be letting go and letting GOD have His Way with you; you will be done away with as a person and you will receive your real Emancipation from lacks, wants and limitations by dealing according to My ‘Versions. “Teach me how to let go and LET GOD.” ‘I AM teaching you in My Actuated Words of expression. I AM daily expressing and showing you the mystery that you might copy after the Fashion I AM showing you by letting your ideas and your opinions go——your versions, » your customs, your fancies, your tendencies and your human prevconceived characteristics and nature _ that would tend to cause you to do differently from what I would tell you. “Teach me how to let go and LET GOD.” Not one of My real Followers will owe a bill unless it is so it is a matter of impossibility for him to meet his creditor and pay him, especially if it is a just and an honest debt. Spirit of Honesty. Truth and Justice I AM not encouraging you to try to pay every robber and every thief who might try to bring you under the condemnation of being a debtor if you are not actually a debtor but I AM stressing the Spirit of HQNESTY, of TRUTH_ andof - JUSTICE that must be rightfully established according to both the version or the revised version of King James in the Scripture and ac- cording to My Personal Interpretation, and according to the version of others. It is written: , , “Firstiseék ye the Kimigdom of GOD and His RIGHTEOUSNES3, and all of these things shall be added imto you.” The revised version says it is “RIGHTEOUS- NESS.” You may say in other words, “His JUSTICE." According to some versions, some have declared; “First seek ye the Kingdom of GOD and His JUSTICE,” which means just about the same: the first of the RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM and the last of it, JUSTICE.” “First seek ye the Kingdom of GOD and His RIGHTEOUSNESS-,” I may say, but if you say accord’ ing to your respective Religion: “First seek ye the King» dom of GOD and His JUSTICE," you have said equiva’ lently the same as that which I have said. Then I say once again in your language: “First seek ye the Kingdom of GOD and His JUSTICE, and all of these things shall be added.” “RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and A Test of the True Follower It is a matter of impossibility for you to be a loser by dealing JUSTLY and being HONEST and COMPE- TENT and TRUE, You cannot tell ME in reality, not even so much as in words for ME to pay any attention to you in,.__«’_"7;-‘.“~;least, not one of My real Followers, that you are a Follower of Mine, unless you deal JUSTLY and be HONEST with all mankind. %Since I have made the way possible for you to live on $5.00 a week, when a few years ago, you were obliged to spend at least $15.00 a week, if you are not willing to meet this small obligation at the advanced wages you are now privileged to earn, it is plain to see you are not trying to follow ME. These thoughts are well worth considering; How marvelous it would be if all of the peoples of the earth would come to this Recognition and would attempt once to deal JUSTLY between themselves and others, even if they do it fora selﬁsh purpose.‘ It would bring about a’ moral betterment among the people, without a true con» version through the Spirit. You would be morally lifted above your past experiences and above the present-day situation in your surroundings, for you would be able to express the INDEPENDENCE of GOD without di~ luting or adulterating your manner of thinking, to con» descend to that which pertains to selfrindulgence and that which is not according to the Plan and the Purpose of the ALMIGHTY. (“It is wonderful!" pronounced the Assembly.) The First Step ls Self-Denial These thoughts are well worth considering. There are thousands and thousands of you the Universe over who are now coming into the Recognition of GOD'S PRESENCE, but the first step for you to consider is, a a selfrdenial completely. If you DENY yourself com- pletely and RELAX your conscious mentality, especially in the way you have formerly been thinking, you will become to be a New Creature automatically and become to be an outward Expresser of Characteristics and will have a New Disposition completely, therefore, GOD O ,1».-...«_.:~,.—.-» -h. ~.-.1...-_-2...... .~ - f—~. .-“"-9‘~.‘%-*»:.. "s.5,:.-j.,- -. will express HIMSELF in the Answer of your ritquest, as HE did to the characteristics of ‘which you are now expressing. “ GOD answers the Prayers of the Faithful. This is Evangelical. “The Prayer of the Faithful, or Righteous," availeth much.” Hence, the Prayers of the Righteous people will be heard and answered; therefore, I say, if you deal JUSTLY and produce the Spirit of RIGHT-~ USE——NESS to all things in your consideration, and put it forth into expression, your simplest Prayer which is your desire, will be heard and answered before you ask it. ‘ “Before they call I will ANSWER, and while they are yet speaking, I will That is why you can see the Tables bountifully laden with the ABUNDANCE of the FULNESS of all good things where I AM, because theivery simple desire of the CHRIST’S Characteristics and Nature will be heard and’ answered before HE requests it. Before HE requests it, I say, it is heard and answered. HE need not to make a request nor beseech, for I speak in the actuated Word of the emotions of My thought, .and the simplest desire of My Heart in you will be heard and answered; even if you have the simplestidesire with My Character— istics and‘My Nature, your simplest desire as a Prayer will be heard and answered. ‘ The Prayer of Your Savior “Mam looketh the outward appearance, GOD looks not on the outward appearance, but GOD looks on the heart.” Then if your hearts beat and every emotion and every beating pulse will vibrate with the Characteristics and the Nature of CHRIST, your SAVIOUR, your Prayers will be heard and answered, for your simplest cry, your simple desire will be Prayer, and the Prayer will not be yours as a person, but fromua characteristical point of view, it will be the Prayer of Your LORD and your SAVIOUR. What ‘says the Scripture: “You know not how to pray as you ought, but the Spirit itself maketh intercession in groanings which cannot be uttered.” «Then I say, the Prayer of your simplest desire, if it is a CHRIST’S. Characteristical Prayer, if it is a CHRIST’S Nature Prayer, speaking and requesting in you from a Spiritual point of view, your Prayer will be heard and answered speedily, for your Prayer will not be yours as a person, but it will be Jesus‘ Prayer, your LORD and your SAVIOUR. You hear all of the praying people-——so»calledl pray— ing andiReligious people, you hear them say, all of them under the Christian Teachin.g, “For Jesus’ Sake;"—~“In the Name of Jesus do this," and “do that,” and “do the other." ‘What mc.a.nctli this ‘Prayer coining"; fr.rth' in rlzcsc Words of expréssion, the Nature of Jesus -the CHRIST, as HE expressts it in the Characteristics’ of Jesus the CHRIST as produces them? "Hid With ‘Chris? in God" Let CHRIST’S. Characteristics be expressed in you. Let His Nature be manifested in you and your Prayers will be heard and answered, for it will not be you observable, but it will be CHRIST Who dwells in you. “In Jesus’ Name or in CHRIST’S Name, for CHRIST’S Sake, or for Jesus’ Sake do this, do that and do the other,"_ you‘ have requested‘ of the FATHER. You are saying it in words, but still having the nature of mor* tality and the nature of carnality from another angle, it is a matter of impossibility for your Prayers to be heard and answered. But when you put oif the old man, the old mind with all of his deeds and put on the New Man, the New Mind, which is CHRIST Jesus in Whom you live, you will no longer be seen, for you will be dead, and your life -will be “hid with CHRIST in ~_ GOD." Hence, GOD will only observe His Son when and wheresoever HE prays and whatsoever He may desire in anyone. That is why the Prayers are heard and answered. That is why My Followers get an answer to their desires, which are their Prayers. It is because they have produced the Characteristics and the Nature of "JESUS other SAVIOUR. Their simplest desires and requests are not to be heard orally, but the very desire. of al true_and ‘ faithful Follower is the Characteristic of Jesus in them . desiring, is the Nature of CHRIST expressing in them; therefore, their desires are heard and answered. "Put On ‘the Whiolé Armor of GOD" Think not to say “In Jesus’ Name do this and do; that,” unless you take on the Characteristics of CHRIST, the Nature of CHRIST, the very Mind of CHRIST and the Spirit of CHRIST. When you shall put on the full or whole Armor of GOD, the Nature, the Character- istics, the Mind and the Spirit of Jesus, whatsoever -you may desire of GOD your SAVIOUR will be heard and answered before you speak it. There are those who marvel at some receiving every’ thing they desire, being successful and prosperous in all _ of their endeavors, in words, deeds and in actions and in their surroundings. Why is it? It is because they have put on the Characterstics and the Nature and the Mind and the Spirit of Jesus; therefore, whatsoever they’ may desire, even secretly through Prayers, will be heard _ through secrecy and answered speedily. They need 1' not ask a question. They need not allow a -person to. know their desires, for the very subconscious and invisible desires of the CHRIST in you will be heard by the OMNIPOTENT ONE, and will be» answered before you can ask it. _ A '. !. :“Blefore they an L 1.11ill{.‘ ANSWER. ' wliile they are yet speaking; I will HEAR.” a Controlling GOD As I often say, there are those o-f My Followers who I can cause ME to obey them, apparently. Get in the Characteristics of CHRIST and live in them. Put on the CHRIST Consciousness, the CHRIST Mind" completely, \ and live in My Spirit and take on My Characteristics and My Nature, and act it, then and there, My Spirit and My Mind will only be seen, and you. will be able to con- trol ME. This. is fulﬁlled by one of your Songs. I. mean, Christendom's Song: I ' “It. is love that rules; the ALMIGHTY GOD, It is love that Brought HIM?’ here («brought HIM down)." ‘ . Love rules the" Universe, rules GOD and CHRIST HIIVISELF.’ How can you expect to have VICTORY un« less you can conquer yourself and your selﬁsh tendencies? If you can conquer yourself as an individual and bring your ‘body into subjection to Jesus CHRIST, when CHRIST shall .have been developed. in‘ you, and you shall‘ have: put on the CHRIST completely," your Prayers will be heard and answered speedily; therefore, you will readily control ME. That is the Mystery. GOD Speaks to Himself What a privilege it is to know the Truth! You can impel and compel GOD to do what. you would have HIM? to do; that is, if you are -faithful" and if you are true, for G-OD‘ will respond’ to His Own Request as HE I did in forming the earth, when He said: “Let dry land‘ appear, and dry land did appear.” ’ p The dry land appeared by the request of the CREATOR. HE had created it, but He did’ not bring it forth into expression, it was not made observable until HE requested it. GOD speaks to Himself from different angles of ex» pression. ‘His Prayers and: Requests are heard and answered. Aren’t you glad? Then I: say, “Put off the old man with all of his deeds and. put. on the New. Man in Who-m you should live." When. your voice is heard, it will not be yours, but it will be HIM; Who liveth forever and forever. You will be an outward expreuion, hid: though. from your mortal versions; You will mani» fest the CHRIST; your Prayers will‘ be heard‘ and answered‘-, and others wll observe it to be you, but I will observeit to be ME. Be Governed by. Your Highest lniuiﬁon As I often say: “Be. governed by your highest in» tu.iti0n,"' through. the RLELAXATION. of your, conscious mentality, your intuition will be your IntUtI)1‘:,. GOD wl1.sp.e.a.sk intuitively in you to you.-; it will be but to ME from that angle of expression, it willlb-a-» you, .a.n.d~ to others it will be you, I‘ "in you, ihf tuitively. This is the way it should be; this is thewasy it was to be, and this is the way it is. That -is why the ‘United States , of America grants every individual to serve GOD to the dictates of his own conscience. Paul puts it on one occasion: “Let every man; be fully persuaded. in his own opim7on.” — II I came in this Dispensation and put it forth into . expression from a psychological point of view, as the psychologists speak in this Modern Civilization, I. AM requesting and stressing the’ signiﬁcance of everylperson being governed by his or her highest intuition. This is the same, only in a different version. You are no longer requesting» in this light of language especially, to be governed by your own opinion, but “be governed by your highest intuition,” for your opinion should be dis— carded when. you know your opinion is mortal, and allow your intuition to be put forth into expression intuitively. I will teach you and tell you; therefore, “it will be no more you, but the CHRIST Who dwells in you.” Then to you, it will be CHRIST or ME, as you may term it to be; but to others it will be you, for you are in and I AM in you. GOD" is Mighty +0 Save If you are not responsible and will not be respon» sible for your intuition and that which you may speak and act intuitively, you are not worthy of ME, but if you are willing t.o suffer for My Name’s sake, and allow My Spirit and My Mind to speak and act in you in’ tuitively, then you will be willing to be responsible for whatsoever you do, although you may say it is M‘E, but I will say'“it ‘is you.” Aren"t you glad? That is what it is all about. V “GOD in theguidst of you is MIGHTY to- save”; willing and ready” with Mercy and Compassion, that you might bring your body into subjection and allow A GOD to speak i-n you intuitively, and if GOD speaks in you intuitively, and it is nothing else but; GOD’ within, your Prayers, your desires will be heard and ‘answered, for it is the CHRIST requesting the FATHER of Whom you will always ﬁnd a response to every request of HIM \Vho liveth forever. , ' "Behold Me As I Am" “Teach me how to let go and;LET GOD.” Aren't you glad? Behold ME as I AM. My Actuated expression as a standard for consideration, observe the Mystery. and concentrate on it. You can see deﬁnitely there is no-' folly in My PRESENCE, nor in the Acts of My Dealing among this people. “Teach. me to let go and. to LET GOD.” I teaching you. how to let go, how‘ to. LET GOD.-». Now then, tell all of your friends a.nd:.. those. with. whom. you (301116? in contact, if they are- _-Followers, or if any « ,"_ ~ ,..-x.—~—-. —. A ‘ ~ ‘ perm. is a Fellonrer of. Mine, he, will follow My Version, My Ideas and My Opinions. ~H‘e will not deviate from them-. in a selﬁsh way, nor from a selfish tendency, neither will he indulge in human fancies nor human pleasures, for he is willing to sacriﬁce those tendencies of unselﬁsh’ ness’ for RIG-HTEO.USN.ESS’ ‘sake. If he does, I will give him VICTORY over every difficulty and his Prayer will be heard and answered completely. H-is Prayers are not words of expression, but his Prayers areihis simplest desires from a sincere and a contrite heart, which sine cerely express the Characteristics of your GOD. That is what it is all about. I Be Absolutely lnd.epend=em‘ Not one of my real Followers would owe an honest debt. I have made it possiblefor all of your to pay all of your old bills, and to live absolutely INDEPENDENT and beecompetent, honest and true. I AM talking about any ho'nest‘debt. I AM talking about any honest debt, I say—-—any bill that you have made. Anything that you have a right to pay, which you have promised to pay and owe a person or persons, why, you should pay them, and especially in and at this time, since I have made the way possible for you, and for every person to live on as small amount of revenue or ﬁnance as $5.00 per week. Everyone /who will not attempt to, and who will not live INDEPENDENTLY‘ from that angle expressible, he or she is telling you distinctly they are impractical, un-- proﬁtable and goodforenothing, dishonest, incompetent and untrue, for they a.re imperfect in body or imperfect in mind‘ or something of that kind. If you 3.-re perfect, if you are able»bodied~—an abler bodied. citizen, if you are healthy, if you are happy, if you are physically fit and mentally/‘ ﬁt, you will not deviate from it, you will live exactly .according to My Teaching, and you will stand ﬁrm and. will fulﬁll My ‘Requests by living a.nd being and doing just‘ exactly what I‘ AM telling you. "Charity Begins at Home" , We shall have ’ a RIGHTEOUS GO'VERNr MENT .How can we have- a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT unless you, those of you who are commonly known as “The Household of Faith,” produce the Spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS in your experience and manifest it in every deed and in every action, by actually expressing it in your dealings? If ydu do not do this, you are not telling the people “There is a reality in RI'GH'I'EOU'SNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE"; but if you will do it in words, in deeds and in actions, among yourselves as individuals, you will be telling the people in, the fulﬁllment of the Scripture, “Charity begins _at home and spreads abroad.” , You cannot tell others you are: a Believer in a RIGHTEOUS “GOVERNMENT in reality, un» less. you express R];G~H-TEOUSNE-S-S where you are liv» ing. unless you: express RIGHTEOUSNESS: with those with whom you. are dealing. You cannot tell ME you yourself and others. To follow ME, it does not mean you must follow ME personally especially; but it does mean you must follow ME Mentally and Spiritually, and- harmonize with ME from every angle expressible, and from those angles that are inexpressible, you ~must be willing and ready to harmonize with them when they become to be expressible. That is the mystery; therefore, your bodies. should be presented as a Living Sacriﬁce Wholly, continually consecrated and sacriﬁced to the Cause, that you might harmonize with it, even if you do not express it. That is the mystery. Eollow HIM Whole-Hearfedly Oh! how marvelous it will be the Universe over, when all of the inhabitants of the earth shall have recog— nizecli the CHRIST, and shall have brought their bodies into subjection and live exactly according to- My Teach— ingv? How marvelous it will be when all of you shall have put off your characteristics, your dispositions, your na ture and your minds ideas and any and all of your human tendencies, in short, ‘all of your mortal human ‘mentality and shall have put on My Characteristics in reality, with all of My Nature, then and there you will be wholevhe-artedly with ME. Until ‘this is accomplished, you are not with ME, you cannot be with ME, and you are not following unless you can follow ME in every direction I go in My discourse.

Pictures of it have ap— peared from time to time; now and then short descriptions of it have been attempted. But all pictures and all descrip tions fail to reproduce that block as it is. It is, as everybody knows, an extremely crowded block. Apartment houses five or six stories high line both sides of the street. Almost all the people living here are very poor. Many of them are out of work. But there is almost all the time an air of happiness, even gaiety about the block. Particularly in the summer time when swarms‘of children play and dance and shout and dodge the auto- mobiles. Play on this block is a constantmiracle. A regular baseball game will be going on, first base .at one curb’ stone, third base on the opposite curb, home plate, second base and center ﬁeld straight down the middle of the street. So, of course, if a car comes scooting along, the ball—players have to scamper out of the way, no matter how splendid a play may be in the making. Jumping rope, “‘Hi«Li“, snap»the~whip, dancing of every variety. Now - and then a merry—go—round mounted on a one»horse wagon draws up to the curb, and then the din increases deafen» ingly——but very pleasantly. Ice cream carts, soda carts, candy baskets—-—Biggest ex» citement of all is when word passes up and down the block that FATHER DIVINE is about to drive away from HIS Headquarters at Number Twenty. Then there is scampering and shouting and rearranging of all the crowds on the street. Feet ﬂy down to reach a place as near as possible to the waiting car. Along the center of the street a double line is formed, down which HIS car must pass. Another crowd gathers at the corner of Lenox Avenue, for the chances are many t.o one that HIS car will have to stop a minute there for the traffic lights, and this gives everyone who can find a place the opportunity for a close look at HIS Face——and perhaps a direct smile ——straight in your face. And if this happens you will walk on air all the rest of the day. But after HE has gone. a strange sort of deadness seems to fall on the block. HE asks us to feel just the same when HE is “apparently absent” as when HE is Person.ally Pres- ent, but that is a little difficult. The .whole,§.treet seems to throb with a different kind of happiness if HE is here. There is a big Pentecostal church in the building at the corner of Fifth Avenue, a restaurant is in the basement. The services in the church are jn Spanish, There is an almost abandoned synagogue near Number Twenty. Then several buildings occupied by FATHER DIVINE Follow- ers. In fact they are scattered all along: in apartments here and there all up and down . the block. There is the FATHER DIVINE Grocery, and Glo»Ray’s Sweet Shop and Priscilla Paul‘s Dress Shop. There is the SPOKEN WORD and WORLD HERALD office, and one or two . doors farther on another big Pentecostal church, formed by opening the first ﬂoors of a row of houses. Services here, too, are in Spanish——but the singing is full of spirit, with good instrumental accompaniment. A step farther on is a Gospel Mission, but this is open only two or three nights a week. There is a ﬁre«engine house, with hook«and—ladder truck —~and there is a great to do when the apparatus clangs out to go to a ﬁre. Some people on the block would be classed as very wicked people but looking down on their wickedness day and night are the signs gleaming from many windows—— "PEACE,” "PEACE,” "PEACE.” Some windows just say “G-OD" but they say it very loud. And in many windows gleams the sign that is the “Full Gospel”——- “FATHER DIVINE IS GOD.” “FATHER DIVINE IS ( GOD.” “FATHER DIVINE IS GOD." At night the children have gone to bed. Lights in many windows go out. The Pentecostal songs grow louder and the wickedness grows more ﬂagrant. And if you can manage to stay around till a little after ten, or so, you will hear a sound that is worth travelling many thousands of miles to hear. As far away as you may happen to be, it will be worth your while to come to 115th Street to hear the music that fills the air of this block pretty much all the time between half past ten and half past two or later. ‘ _ For that will be the Angels singing in the Headquarters Kingdom. And again——although EATHER tells us consider that HE is present just the same when HE -is apparently absent, you will consider yourself fortunate if your visit to the block is made on anight when HE is present in bodily form. A few weeks ago at about 1:30 A. M. into the open window of the front oﬁice of the SPOKEN WORD came the strains of one of the new songs. It has a somewhat different quality from that of many of the songs. Com- posers and critics who know what they are talking about will tell you that there is an artistic excellence and splendor about many of the FATHER DIVINE songs that is quite new in the world. of mix.“-(6., And in .t.hnt' liar _ ___.._ M _,__i\. _g;_ _ ,..¢~..._——¢.........-. ;.-.w'-’«>r::~;~=-2-—$~v-t:-.4‘:-n-ms:l'r%é<>s9$u»-—* -as-was , 1.5% 3 _\¢-‘- 1...." \-u .~..:_ :- r. i" .‘ 1‘ i- if I I of most excellent songs a few stand out as having sur» passing radiance. Like **We’re In Another Day," for_ iry ' stancc~—or “I Love I\/Iy LORD,” or “Sweet FATHER Dear, I Do Love You.” . But this particular song has something different from all of them. It: has the brilliance of these other excellent songs, but it has something else beside——a sort of Majesty. It is the sort of song that might be sung in a great cathedral——with a mammoth organ to accompany ten thousand voices. Solid glory, the song is. These are the words— " I know TOU’re GOD, I know 'YOU’re GOD, I know, I know 'YOU’re GOD. Deep in my heart I know 'YOU’re GOD, I know, I know‘ 'YOU’re GOD. V The song rolled in through the. open window on the air of the midsummer night. The air was ﬁlled with it. As always, when FATHER is- about to speak, there were knots of people packed on the sidewalk outside the main building and the Annex, waiting to catch HIS words from’ the microphone and ampliﬁers. And now these sidewalk crowds joined in the song. It: was coming from inside the building. It was coming. through ,the ampliﬁers; it was coming from the throats of the people on the sidewalk. High, strong, beautiful treble; vibrating altos; soaring tenors; deep, deep, smooth bass. Then it seemed that people looking and leaning out of their windows caught up the song. Not only the air, but the sky was full of it. Peal upon peal, the great new anthem rang out. I know 'YOU’re GOD,. I know 'TOU’re GOD, I_ know, I know 'TOU’re GOD. Deep in my heart I know 'YOU’re GOD, I know, I know 'YOU’re GOD. I leaned out the window and looked up and down the street. There was no sound but that and that sound was everywhere, “I know, I know YOU're GOD.” The main body of sound was coming from the front . windows of the main building and into our front windows here. I walked through the ofﬁces toward the windows in the rear. And there as well as in the fro-nt the air was throbbing with the song. Into every window, front and back, coming from everywhere, echoing from everywhere ——that song——that song. Deep in my heart I know '1"OU’re GOD, I know, I know 'YOU’re ‘GOD. Wave after wave, billow after billow. Higher and higher, in ever widening waves of Glory. Up and down “the street, up and down the fronts and the backs of the houses, over the roofs, up toward the sk_y—=~——pulsating through the otherwise silent air——“Deep in my heart I know YOU’re GOD. I know, I know YO'U’re GO .7’ ‘ I in People travel to Mecca, to Rome, to Jerusalem. to thrilled by the ecstasiesof religious fervor. Butright here is the worlds greatest. cathedral, the worlds highest spot of the highest worship. Listen——~can you hear the anthem now? Rolling, pulsat» ing. A solid mass of worshippers gather about HIM, as HE sits at the Banquet Table. Another great congregation in the auditorium below. ‘Another congregation in the dining«room in the basement.‘ Another congregation in the Annex. Another congregation on the sidewalk. And the whole street and all the windows and even the ﬁrerescapes have become HIS congregation. I And out through ‘the city and up into the sky the anthem rolls on—— Deep in my heart I know 'TO.U're GOD, I know, I know YOU're GOD. ‘HIGHLIGHTS or- THE lI5+h smear RIGHTEOUS. GOVERNMENT‘!-’ FORUM FRIDAY, AUGUST 20, 1937 A. D. F. D. Three visitors from Ohio thanked Father for being in the Forum. “The happiness in your faces makes us happy,” they said. “We hope to come again.” The Educational planks of: the Righteous Government Platform were read and discussed‘. ‘ A report of the Junior Righteous Government work in Krumville (Promised Land) was read setting forth the accomplishments of the youngsters, in reciting the Pre' amble of the Righteous Government Platform and its Planks. — Mr. N ydick, a politician, presented a sketch of the candidates for the oﬂice of Mayor in the coming election, stressing their characters, parties, .and accomplishments. Miss Reid, a professional banjoist, played and sang several selections, which were enthusiastically received. She had gone to the Promised Land, where she’ saw Father, who later inspired her with .a song which she also played. This was loudly applauded. ‘ Mrs. Dodge, of Los Angeles, California, spoke of the 1 Educational work there, and the progress of the followers. She also announced the State Convention, to be held in Los Angeles, on September 24, 25 and 26. Mr. Forteau, a political worker, told of going to a political meeting, where individuals stressed Race as an issue to gain their selﬁsh ends, only to have the presiding chairman say, “Don’t stress race and color so much, I don‘t like to hear it.” In this we could see the work of Father’s Spirit in the Minds of those not conscious of Him. Several political workers related what had been accomv plished in their Departments. Several letters from “Righteousness Marches On," were read’ and announccv ments were made as the meeting closed.

Divine 20 West 115th St. New York City.’ Beloved FATHER DIVINE: It is with great joy that I enclose a receipt for $175.00 paid to a Mr. A. H. Horton as a refund for connecting the sewer to a house which I sold him in 1917. He questioned me about the sewer at the time, I told him it was "in” and the assessment paid, meaning in the street. I was conscio._us that he misunderstood me to . mean it was connected to the house but did not en- lighten him. A few weeks after he moved in the house he came to me to explain, as he was having trouble with the cesspool. He took my explanation quietly and went away. I felt sorry about it but not sorryienough to offer to pay the bill for the connection, although I was an earnest student of Christian Science at that time, and later took other metaphysical teachings including those given by Rawson, Jay Cook, Ross Humble, Charles and Myrtle Filmore (Unity) William W.‘ Walter, Annie C. 1 Bill, etc. It was only after reading a few of YOUR mes- sages that YOU put YOUR Spirit in me and caused me to remember the affair and want to pay it. I wrote Mr. Horton several times to give all the credit to YOU but he persisted in giving it to me. He died, however, before the payments were completed; hence the receipt given by Mr. Huber, attorney, for the estate. I thank YOU FATHER for making it possible for me to pay this, and for all YOUR many blessings, FATHER, I thank YOU. FOR PUBLICATION. JOYFUL PROGRESS.

I have owned some property in a section of this cityfor many "years and with one ‘ exception I have always collected the monthly rent. In the year. 1932, a Mrs. Elizabeth Macdaniels moved out owing me $55. I did not bother to try to ﬁnd her but decided that I had been cheated. However, yesterday I , received. a money order from Mrs. Macdaniels accomr panied by a letter in which she explains that through YOUR teachings,‘ she has seen the light and is paying all of her just debts. She asked me to write to YOU and inform YOU of her change of heart. And that is why, ‘I3 am sending this letter. May I take this opportunity to congratulate YOU on the good work YOU are doing‘. « Mrs. Macd.aniels lives at 1346 22nd Street, Los Angeles and I would appreciate it if YOU would mention to her the fact that I have written to YOU about this. Father Divine, I should very much like a reply to this letter from YOU to be sure that this matter has been brought to YOUR attenion._ Very truly yours, . Lou Breslow.

Beverly Hills, California My dear Mr. Breslow: I AM writing to advise, as you have requested, re» ceipt of your letter of acknowledgment for the sum of $55 paid by Mrs. Macdaniels for rent in 1932. The same is indeed appreciated, and I AM glad to know you at» test the fact that this Teaching is of moral beneﬁt to all mankind. By lifting a Criterion among men, I AM establish— ing tlaem in the Reality of Success, of Prosperity, and of Health, Peace and Happiness. By this Standard they are developing mentally and Spiritually, putting intogtheir daily lives and affairs, the actuated expressions of the same, whereby you can readily see the Spirit of MY ‘ Mind and the Mind of MY Spirit working effectively ii and harmoniously for them. Hence, as men step out upon this Principle of Right eousness, Justice and Truth—~as they step. out upon the Planks of MY Righteous Government Platform, they make Righteousness a practicality in their lives and afr fairs——they make the Truth Real. A I It is for this Cause I AM transmittin.g the Spirit: of this~Teachin.g to each and all, for as the Truth is con’ veyed to menflogically, as it is brought. into their lives coherently and co-nsistently, they can see the scientiﬁc’ ness of the same, and how Righteousness is made ap— pl-icable to use in the business, trades and professions of men.

I937 A.D.F.D. i Time: Midnight "Blessings and Blessings and Blessings shall fall on you,” says FATHER DIVINE, and these Blessings come directly by His Own Hands, and at His Command, al- though at times, HE veils Himself an.d permits the Blessings to come Impersonally, but what a Condescen- sion!-—and how else can the children express their gratitude to FATHER DIVINE than by the Way of Love? They cannot give GOD anything for HE has everything, with the exception of their hearts, and that is what HE requests of them. Then when HE personally leaves His Headquarters, His Desk piled up with Work, ' and goes to one of the Other Extensions to Personally Bless the children there, can you wonder at their getting in high Vibrations and proclaiming their love for HIM more profoundly, when they remember His Great Con- descension? It is Wonderful! This is just what the BLESSED LORD and MASTER of our Being did on this Day. He served the Banquet in the Headquarters, and caused all of the participants to be exceedingly glad. He caused their hearts to be merry S _ with the PRESENCE of HIS PRECIOUS BODY, and then. as only a SAVIOUR would do, HE remembered those who have called, and yet in calling they have not grown weary. By their steadfastness and persistent en- durance, realizing that HE is their FATHER, and they never had another, relyirig whole-heartedly on HIM, HE was compelled to keep His Promise to them. "I will satisfy your heart’s faintest cry, and will fulfill‘ your heart’s simplest sincere desire.” They have kept His Commandments. They have entered into His Courts with ‘Praises, and come into His Gates with singing, and in return HE has Blessed them unceasingly. As FATHER sat in His elaborate Office at the 123rd Street Extension, one by one the Angels came" before HIM, telling HIM of the things which burdened their hearts, and of His Great Love wthin their hearts, which gave them“ faith and courage to pursue their upward journey. He spent hours here with the children. On the outside of the Mission, it was quite evident that some- r thing extraordinary was taking place, for as the chil- dren always do, those who cannot get on the inside formed a great congregation on the outside, and there they stood many hours; happy were they as they waited, just because they knew their’LORD was within. On the O inside, in the lobby and reception hall, all upon the stairs, a most picturesque scene was presented as the - great multitudes waited in fondest devotion for just a glimpse of the LORD, FATHER DIVINE. Such un- usual d_evotion cannot be overlooked, for man cannot command such love and devotion. The children ran be- hind FATHER and had a regular “Houses Parade” as FATHER led the Inspection Tour through the entire Building. While the 63rd Street Forum was in progress,- and the various Artists were presented to the Audience, while the various numbers were pleasing and enjoyable to all, the entire Assembly, and especially the Staff Rep- resentatives looked and watched and waited for FATHER. But instead of PERSONALLY showing His ADORABLE PRESENCE in this Assembly, HE chose to (perhaps) DENY HIMSELF from them, for the speciﬁc purpose of extending His Blessings PERS-ON- ALLY to the ardent “Body Lovers” where HE at this , time remained to serve the Banquet to the great de- light and appreciation of the children of this Exten- sion. As soon as the Meeting at the 63rd Street Forum was about to- end, the Secretaries and others rushed up to the 123rd Street Extension, where they found FATHER seated in all complacency. They were there, however, but a few minutes when FATHER arose and gave this sweet little MESSAGE, incorporating many important announcements. The same is well worth considering by all who anticipate taking_ in the Boat Outing on the 30th. of this Month. FATHER BELOVED, we thank THEE. o- —-——- FATHER Speaks as follows: PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace, FATHER DEAR!” resounded the echoes from the enthusiastic Greetings of the Assembly.) Here we all‘ are again, and there I sit and stand, still stressing the significance of the unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose. For this cause all of us who are true and faithful are anticipating going on a Boat Outing on the 30th. All children are expected to go~in other words, we are expecting all children to go who wish to go from all of the Extensions and from anywhere else, and when I say, all children, at this in- stance, I mean children 18 calendar years and under. That is what I AM talking about. Those who wish to go, you are welcome to do so, so long as. it is permissible with those with whom you are concerned. Children who are not capable of caring for themselves will‘ be expected to be accompanied by their guardians. We are expecting all of the Followers among the grown- ups,——a good many . . . . Everyone who wishes to go so long as he or she has made the way possible for them to go according, to our RI‘G'HTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM, you are welcome to- do so. _ I believe at this.time, the majority of you have. If you have not, between this and the Day, I believe you can adjust matters satisfactorily and be with us on that Day, _ for this is, or it may be the last one for the Season. We art striving to give all of the children an Outing before the school convenes,—and the grown-ups, such as are called grown-ups, we are pleased to have it so they also can come on the same Outing. If you cannot be accommodated, all on the same Boats already chartered, it maybe possible to get another; but if you do not get your tickets shortly, it will not be pos- sible——-so we are giving you fair warning. You all used to love ME so, you said you would go with ME whersoever I go. (A great shout of joy leaped forth from the Assembly of Devoted Followers.) I have made the way possible for you to do so; therefore, those of you who are true and faithful I AM expecting for you to go. Others. who are not My Followers are also invited if they wish to do so, by living Evangelically for those two days. If they live an Evangelical Life for those two days, their presence will be welcomed as well as yours, and all will have the privilege of enjoying the PRESENCE of GOD with Good Luck, Good Health, Good Appetite and with.Good Weather, that is, if you all go and come in perfect harmony with ME. The Seas and the waves obeyed Nineteen Hundred Years ago. They have been obeying on every instance in the last time. You can retrace your thoughts back to the past, and you will be reminded of all of our outdoor experiences, we have always produced good weather. We shall have it continually, so lo-ng as you live Evan- gelically. If you live Evangelically and be true and faith- ful, and especially be in harmony with the FUNDA- MENTAL, the PRINCIPLE, and live thus accordingly, the very Spirit of My PRESENCE will bring other con- ditions in harmony; you will be SUCCESSFUL on your Trip,‘ and will be PROSPEROUS on your return, and you shall see and know deﬁnitely, you have not lost a thing by going. We are anticipating making things more pleasant the next time. Of course, it may not be a Boat Excursion, but there is a conti_nuous Unfoldment of t-he Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose and of getting the people together. It will continue, with or without the PRESENCE of MY PERSONAL TABERNACLE. The Spirit of MY PRESENCE will perform My Will, and bring forth My Endeavors, and will accomplish whatso- ever I have planned or have purposed. Aren't you glad? _('.'So Glad!” came back in a great shout from the Assembly.) ,_ I need not say more, for I merely rose to make this seeming last announcement concerning our Boat Trip. m Those o-f you who have not yet purchased your tickets, you may do so. All children can have their tickets pur- chased, or you can purchase your tickets for the asking. Grown-ups only $1.00. Is not that -a privilege? (“Yes, FATHER DEAR!” assured the Heaters.) Going on an Outing, nearly one hundred miles——Round Trip for only $1.00, with the privilege o-f staying in the atmosphere and in the environment of the Kingdom of GOD for two days for only $1.00 Round Trip, so far as going and returning is concerned. Oh, it is a privilege to stand in the PRESENCE of GOD where all things are made possible, harmonious and comfortable and convenient for the true and the faithful who will live according to My Teaching and will bring themselves into subjection to the FUNDA- MENTAL. Just think of it! All of the PEACE and ]OY that you can imagine can be put forth into /expression by the true and the faithful who will live Evangelically, for you accumulate it by harmonizing together. You will create a harmonious atmosphere, and the PEA*CE that surpas- seth all human understanding will be distinctly demon- strated, and all will recognize continually GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE. Then I say, those of you who have not yet purchased your tickets, I think it would be good for you to do so, if you are anticipating going, for we may not have tickets sold this year on the Wharf. Why? Because we are anticipating leaving quite early.) We are expecting all parents and guardians to permit their children to go, if they wish to. If they wish to trust them in the care and keeping of My Spirit and under the Guidance of My MIND, under the guardianship of those who are their guardians, they will ﬁnd a pleasant Trip for them, I AM quite sure. Remember, other organizations are invited as well as those who are commonly known as My Followers and My Co-workers. Any person or persons who are willing to participate in this Demonstration and live Evangeli- cally for the two days,’you are welcome to participate in the privilege, and have FREE access so long as you ex- press true Evangelism according to our version and ac- cording to My Teaching. By so doing, we will broad- cast a MESSAGE of Salvation to all of the nations of the earth, and not only broadcast a MESSAGE but for the children and those who may be interested, we will have Moving Pictures also on the Evening following our immediate Trip up there. The Movies will be FREE, the same as all of our other Demonstrations rare, for as many as can be accommodated in the Auditorium or wheresoever we show them. You may see ME moving around on the Picture. If I AM not therein Person, I _ will be seen on the Screen. I thank you. ’ .‘?_!>_ \_ NEWS Notes‘ , PEACE PARTY IN ALASKA, AGAIN THIS ‘SEASON BROTHER Al Larson with Brothers Ross Humble and Robert McDonald‘ aboard the Good Ship “Peace-” trave eled“ again this season to» Alaska.

PEACE PAVIILION OUTSTANDINIG FEATURE OF PARIS EXPOSITION THIS YEAR The Eiffel Tower, because of its height and renown,» is the most outstanding landmark of the 1937 International Paris Exposition, but the Peace Pavilion opposite and fac» ing the Tower is the feature of greatest signiﬁcance.

B?AROM;E.TE.R'“ _ or PUBLIC OPINION Citizens Vo=l*e:-Cu~n~e-. Unemplbiymenh: W'adfa.. l : Stay Neutral. Dr. George H. Gallup”s ingenious: device for neattlyy sampling crossrsections of American public opinion with- more accurate results than the Literary Digest straw poll, consists of a few hundred college boys with pads and.‘ pen’. cils who gad. about the country asking clever sets of ques» ,. V tions of the people they meet. ‘ The American Institute of ’ Public Opinion, with statis’ , ticai staﬁ? located in Princeton’, N. J., and; editorial offices at 1110 East 42nd St., New York, publishes a. highrpricedl syndicatedil feature giving analyses of their questionnaires, entitled, “America Speaks,” appearing in a prominent ’ paper n each principal city. A couple of hundred rapidly roving inquiring reporters can each locate ﬁve hundred, their quota, of farmers, merchants, mechanics, or factory managers in a week or so and" turn in their answers on lynching, fascism, war appropriations or the CIO. This 1'00,000 sample gives‘ an accurate index to how the nation will vote. Their latest release reveals that America disapproves Vigilante groups taking the law into their own hands in the strike areas 8 to 2. Those who favored were 24% and those who voted “No" 76%. In a speech entitled, “Measuring Public Opinion,” Dr. Gallup stated, “A scientiﬁc poll should reach votersin the same proportion that these voters exist in the community being polled. If a result is to have nation«wide accuracy, ballots must, for one thing, come ba.ck from each state in proportion to the voting population of that state. When votes are returned in those proportions statisticians say that the crossrsection to that extent, is controlled; "Polls of the Institute of Public Opinion employ ﬁve controls. The first one is the o-ne I: have just mentioned: that of" receiving ballots from each state in proportion to its voting population. But we have found four other con» trols are necessary if we are to obtain an accurate result. In ‘each state we insist on getting ballots in correct propor— tion from persons who live on farms and’ from persons who live in cities. We must receive ballots. in correct proportions from persons at various income levels, particur larly. from persons at or near the relief level. Furthzarrnore, we have tovhear from the correct number of persons who have come to voting age since 1932.. And, ﬁnally, we must maintain correct proportions among persons who voted for Roosevelt, Hoover, Thomas and others in 1932. As you can 7a.ppI‘€,Ci3£{3€’, a tremendous amount of statis» tical work is necessary to_maintain these‘; ﬁve controls, but.‘ r :7 ‘I L I if they‘ are not m;nnt;ineE1.the_result.of a.’po1Lmay~mnan ‘little or nothing.” . ‘of a‘ hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. legal voters the result will correctly show how the nation will ‘vote, within appcrcent or two, in a national election. 1 Statisticians. have proved this mathematically and the ex’ ' perience of the Institute of Public Opinion hears it out. The vote was '5 to 3 against limiting the power of the . Supreme -Court. The poll showed 55 to 45 in favor of paying the soldier’s bonus. In a poll on appropriations » for the armedservices of the U. S., the result was; In» S crease appropriations for the army, 48%; for the navy, 54%; for the air force, 74%. The day beforethe Supreme ‘ 2‘ Court declared. the. AAA. unconstitutional a sample of. the voters of the nation: reported: Favoring AAA, 41%; against the AAA, 59%. The country is 9 to 1 in favor of an oldwage pension but only on a basis of $30.00 for a single man and $50.00 a month for an aged: couple; however only one in ﬁfty favored‘ the Townsend ‘Plan of $400.00. .a month for husband and wife. One of the most interesting and signiﬁcant polls taken was: What do you think the most vital issue before the. American people today? Each vo-ter- had to write in his choice. The three issues that ledthe list were-: Cure un— employment, Stop government waste, Stay neutral. Needless to say, every major politician, every party, even manufacturers, publishers,.Wall1_Street and’ all big business watch» the analyses.of public opinion like eagles.

Is there any better or equal hope in the world?" ‘ ' Wilson saw the need of .a canvas of public opinion in 1911' when he said‘, “I~ would rather hear what men are talking about on‘ trains and in. shops. and by the ﬁreside than hear anything else, because I want guidance and’ I know I. could get it‘ there.” If he had been able to get. it we might have kept out of the World War.

F. D. ’ Time’: |:2O A. M. The Home-coming of FATHER DIVINE was, and always is a great signiﬁcant occasion; for the Follow- ers have learned to love the LORD and trust whole- heartedly in HIM. It is interesting to realize that every human being, more or less, is dependent upon some- ’ one or something. As little children are dependent and rely upon their parents, and as young men conﬁde in- their sweethearts, as wives look to their husbands, and as husbands trust their wives, even so do the children of GOD depend, rely, conﬁde, look to, and trust in FATHER DIVINE, their SAVIOUR. It is Divine as well as human to depend upon a Superior. As the children of men deny their versions by detaching themselves ‘from the flesh and all ﬂeshly connections, they automatically attach themselves to their CREATOR, and by this uniﬁcation, they learn to know‘ the dearest MOTHER that earth or Heaven Could afford‘; they ﬁnd their FATHER-MOTHER GOD. ‘ It is human to yearn after the flesh, but it is Divine to yearn and long for the BODY of GOD. why is this true? The Scripture says: “Thou shalt love the LORD thy GOD with all thine heart, and with all thy Soul, and with all thy strength.” In this quotation which all of the Religious world dotes on, and stresses, and which practically every child under the banner of Civilization is familiar with, there is no reference made to the Spirit of GOD, but the quotation is di- rectly applied to the BODY of GOD. "Thou shalt love the LORD thy GOD,” etc. Hence, the BODY of GOD is the Satisﬁer of these new-born babes. In view of this fact, when the Sweet Body of the Blessed LORD seems "1 e , ~ . \ to H :l'.c l7:rll;?v.'e‘s a:‘.:=E i‘t<.<:.“-lc'-:.. as I:.;‘ m at I ’“ ,'4.:~v. ’ "‘»!=~“‘» .~¢*z»t5-A. . .s.',_.r3*.<_3.;_vs_ >. pi e. 5 ., r.‘ . . this Recognition, yearn for their FATHER-MOTHER GOD, and although they sincerely recognize HIS IM- , PERSONAL PRESENCE, this does not alter the fact that they miss the BODY of GOD, FATHER DIVINE, until HE PERSONALLY‘ returns. Because they love HIM and adore HIM, they OBEY HIM, therefore, come within these Walls, or in any Sanctuary of the Peace Mission Movement and there you will ﬁnd the great multitude of Followers singing and shouting and Praising the Name of GOD, FATHER DIVINE,’ with- out ceasing, in the fulﬁllment of the Scripture: "Every day will I bless Thee; and I will Praise Thy Name for- ever and ever.” "Rejoice in the LORD always, and again I say REJOICE,” etc., and many other such Scriptures, you will ﬁnd them fulﬁlling; and as they do so, they are comforted, for in His Absence HE sends “The Comforter.” With the return of the SAVIOUR to us Personally, we have this beautiful Gem, this MESSAGE of price- less ‘worth which HE~delivered to us, the multitudes that surrounded HIM, to pass on to those who are less fortunate than ourselves, who do not at the present time, have the privilege to stand in the PERSONAL‘ PRESENCE of the LORD and enjoy the Sweetness of His HOLY ‘TABERNACLE as we do. In consideration of this fact, we are grateful to Our LORD" for the speedy releasing of this Great Lesson to all of the Generations of the earth. FATHER GOD, we thank THEE. ’ The following Song was very appropriately sung, the Message of Sunday, August 22nd, at Greenl<ill.Park, given at 2:35 P. M., was read, and lastly, but the best of all, was this Great Message from the Lips of the LORD, to “W/hom we are eternally indebted. Again, Our KING, we thank THEE. (From one of the Angels, came forth this Song, with all ccizs-*;_*cr?itin,sz). - A SONG: “I love my LORD, I love my LORD, ,, I I love HIM, I love HIM, How much I love HIM I cannot tell; I love my LORD, love my LORD, 1 love HIM, I love HIM, 1‘ do.” A (And then from another Angel " at the Banquet Table, came forth this other Song, which was sung with enthusiasm by all in unison:) “FATHER, Sweet Loving FATHER, ‘YOU are so Kind and True; FATHER, Sweet Loving FATHER, Could you fault anyone for falling in love with YOU?” FATHER speaks as follows: E PEACE EVERYONE: ("Peace, ‘FATHER DEAR!" shouted the Great As- sembly in enthusiasm.) It is Wonderful! While singing that little Song, a thought came for consideration of the Mystery and the signiﬁcance of f'Driving the nail aright.” That is a common phrase that once was used and has been often reiterated: "Driving the nail aright." I thought of that mystery, and yet it is not, ' 5 “When you driue the naillavfight, You will strike with all of your might, While the iron is red.” If you would retrace your thoughts-back to that story, or in other words, that statement, whatsoever you may call it, you could see the Scripture fulﬁlled in the act of these My Followers in the fulﬁllment of the request and the command of the ALMIGHTY: i “THOU SHALT LOVE the LORD thy GOD.with all thine heart, with all thy Soul, and with all thy strength.” ' When these words camelforth into expression by in- spiration, and the individual as a Composer brought it out through a Composition, "1 love the LORD”-— through a constant rei‘teration., the same as you did in saying your Alphabets in the beginning-—you continued to say them until you committed them .to memory angi every other POSITIVE\assertion and expression, they . all were reiterated continually until you committed them to memory. So it was, and as it was, so it is. Reiteraﬁon You heard them sing that Song over and over again. You can retrace your thoughts back to the experience, or in other words, the different incidents, how often _ the different individuals come forth with a Composition by inspiration and apparently they get to that place where they cannot_stop reiterating‘ it——repeating it over and over again. Why? Because they are driving the nail aright as you did in the beginning of your educa- tional career. Whatsoever you studied and that which you ap- parently learned, it came through reiteration and by a constant reiteration until it was stamped in "your memory, until it was impossible for you to forget it. The first and the great Commandment in this Song just sung is made real in the experience of these, and especially some of them by reiteration. Aren't you glad? "I love the LORD.” They continue to say it, and continue to say it until their very ‘bodies vibrate, and then they continue to say it over and over again until it ignites those with whom they come in contact, and they also initurn will vibrate. Aren’t you glad? ("So Glad!” commented the Assembly.) Catching the Contagion “I love the LORD.” We will make the very earth shake with the reiteration of, “I. love» the LORD." Aren't you glad? And W“i1€n everything is shaken, as said the Scripture, why, even those with whom you come in contact will be "contagionized” with it; they will not have» a physical ague nor a fever nor a chill,; as it may be termed, but they will shake as though they had one of them. Aren't you glad? A "I love the LORD.” We are in the place where it is absolutely immaterial to us what men think or say. That which we have declared we shall actually fulﬁll in this day and others shall CATCH it, for it is conta- gious. Then I say, the first and the great .Commandmerit _ is first in consideration this Morning: "I love the A LORD,” and by this, through reiteration, you can see others catching the great Contagion, and they are awakened. They awake in this Lilizeness even -as you have declared it, and will re-declare it, even so will they declare it: “I: love the LORD.” Subsconcious Mentality and Vocabulary I shall “contagionize” the very atmosphere in which you are living until ever.ything that will not get "con- tagionized” with it, shall be affected by -it in a -way that will dispel it from our presence. I iheard you :say: "I love the LORD.” Through reiteration of your -V-Kl-pi phabets you ./committed them to memory and your con-if ihiiii‘taliityi%becariie to be your vocab“-ulariy that you remember even though you forget it. You forget what- soever your con-scious mentality shall ‘have conceived- and your subcon,sciousness having re-conceived -it, you can forget it if you wish to, your subconsciousness will keep it and will give it to you, whensoever .y.ou'need it. ashamed. I heard one say and '1 ‘heard. ’himjisin’g,”"‘AHe cou'ldn’t fault you,” but "I said, “‘Don’t say it uriless you mean it.” But when you look and stop and ‘listen, _ it is enough for you to consider, you should really mean it. Why should you mean it"? For every problem, GOD has put forth HIMSELF as’ an Answer; for every‘ de- sire, GOD acame forth as a SATISEFER; and ftosszitisfy I every desire, ‘GOD «came forth as a ?SUPPiIilBR. ;Aren‘t you glad? Therefore, as he -said: ‘:‘He eouldn'"t ‘fault you ‘for "falling in love with Nations of ‘the -‘Earth ‘Stirred whethet it is itrtle with the .individual at not true,‘ whefiher it is true with you or untrue, it is absolutely immaterial to- ME, ‘the words are true and ‘they sihlould be ‘established in you. You should ‘be able -to say in reality, "I cannot fault you ‘from loving whole- heartedly.” ‘By this I heard you say by inspiration com- ing ‘up in ‘the new Composition: “'1 ‘love. the ‘LOR‘D." V("hy did you say it? ‘Because the Very ‘Spirit of you. within ‘you responded to the Song, and I heardyou come forth inpthe Song of Praise: "1 love‘ the LORD-.” Whenlyou love1GOD-V aright ‘everything is all right.

That is‘ what it is all about! «Oh! it -is awprivilege to stand in the actuated .‘.PR‘-.fiS- ENCE of ‘GOD where GOD is active and on duty at all times, and wheresoever :HE is and wheresoever you are .GOD. is always at Home.

You all are willing and ready to do whatsoever I might subconsciously tell you. ("Yes, _ FATHER!” came the grave shouts of the people.) Oh, it is a privilege, I say, to realize whatsoever is spoken within will be your inspiration when you shall have made your COMPLETE‘ relaxation of your con- scious mentality and shall have STILLED yourselves as individuals and presented your bodies as Living Sacriﬁces wholly. Establishing Positive Words ‘ Upon this Foundation if you will stand, Beloved Ones, you will not have an occasion to fret nor worry, but as I have aforesaid, “when the water is troubled, everyone who will step in after the troubling of the water, can be healed of, all of his or her ills." GOD Himself can be in evidence and can be put forth into expression and have full access in them. While speaking concerning “Driving the nail aright,” that mental and Spiritual nail, building on a Foundation. upon which you must stand, you are driving the nail aright by constant reiteration. and by substan- tiating yourself in the reiteration of the POSITIVE words I have spoken until they can be established in you, , When this. shall have been accomplished in reality, you can RELAX continually, but by inspiration you a will move volifionally and will be inspired, and will in- spire others, for GOD will be within and will speak and move by inspiration and cause you to do the same. That is what it is all about. The Current of GOD'S Love You‘ can plainly see these, My ‘Followers, who are quickened and awakened, they move volitionally, they speak according‘ to the same, because GOD is within, as.iSpirit and as Mind, and as theiGreat Inspirator for each and all of them. .so doing, through concentra- tion, they make the Contact and the Current of GOD'S INFINITE Love ignites, and as it ignites, why, inaturally, as” a spark plug" ﬁres, even so does the Spark of your Soul fire when the thoughts touch your mind in har- mony, and the Words are spoken convincingly, es- pecially when they are spoken volitionally, coming forth by inspiration, they will quicken and spark to your Soul and cause your Soul and your body to be ﬁlled with enthusiasm and your whole world of existence will be set on ﬁre. I needlnot say more at this particular juncture. I believe I‘ have said enough to stir up your pure mind. I kriow I have said a few words that are reaching mor- tality. Mortality cannot, for it is in opposition, butl said it for the purpose of giving them fore-warning, that they might know and understand they can do nothing. The time has truly come when My True Followers are going to stand for RIGHT EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and they are going to stand for it over and above every opposition, regardless to the Constitution, for the very Spirit of My PRESENCE is OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT and yet OMNIPRESENT. 1 THANK YOU. = ANNOUNCEMENTS PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace, FATHER DEAR!” again game the enthu- siastic shouts.)

Such a chance you have.’ This is an Outing to test you all out, and to test others out, to see if they are seeking RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and to let them see whether they actually love it or not. I You have a chance to go on this Outing and enjoy the Spirit of MY PRESENCE and the PRESENCE of My Spirit with or without My PERSON, and yet with it no doubt, you may consider. just think of going all the way up to "Kings Town,” ‘better known as Kingston, nearly one hundred miles and return for only $1.00, with the privilege of staying two days, getting your meals for not more than 15c.

Those are some few of the restrictions that may be a little strict for you, but if you will live accordingly, you V will learn to enjoy it, even as these My Followers do. By so doing, you will ﬁnd your true self.That is the way they found theirs. Aren’t you glad? Your real Soul is ‘ just behind the veil of tears—-—just behind materialism, - the mortal version and the ﬂesh, as it may be termed. Your real self is waiting there for self to be removed, that you, your real self might, be seen -in the Name of CHRIST of Whom you say ‘I AM. I thank you. "BIC-3 USEFUL SAC-RIFICES FOR PEACE" ‘Premier Leon Blum of France, and no one is better qualiﬁed to speak than he, said, recently, “It is no longer possible to glorify war before a world that hates war and condemns it. No government dare longer admit war as an. aim or political means_. The new conception accords most glory to the nation which does not spend human blood to expand or to avenge itself, but makes big useful“. sacriﬁces for peace.” The occasion was the unveiling of a monument to Aristide Briand, coauthor of the Bu'and- Kellogg Peace Pact signed by 63 nations, making war illegal. “- FATHER DIVINE PEACEMISSEON Kingdoms.

New’Yor|< City in the Interest of the Scoﬁsboro Boys Thursday-Evening. September 2, I937, A,D.F.D. TIME: 11:50 P. M. As the result of one day's notice, thousands of the Fol- lowers cooperated with FATHER DIVINE, their LEADER, onehundred percent. At the late Banquet ‘Set-v-ic‘_e .on”the’ previous day, about six o’clock in the evening," when FATHER .was addressing the Assembly, a‘.s_HE";freq‘uently. does, HE made the announcement to ’_ His ‘Audience’-fo.r the first time, 'concerning‘the Meeting "F be held: at -the Rock.lia—nd‘ Palace,‘ in the interest of he .Scottsboj_ro Boys, on the following. day at 8:00 rf5fclOck’.in _the_~evening‘.1 ._ M , _ ,if:§.This.fMeeting was sponsored by Dr.’ Thomas S. Har- tlén, of; the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Brooklyn, N. Y.’ DIVINE was’ the principal invited Speaker, the Followers, as; FATHER stated, were His «(:FA’THElR'S),.Guests. FATHER had nothing more to do connection with the Meeting than this. one ofthe requirements of the RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM, as drafted by the MgIND and SPIRIT of FATHER DIVINE, is that no Follower should spend money for any recreation, or amusement in any form for himself, while he owes a just?, debt to any other individual or organization, FA'l'liER DIVINE taking into consideration the thousands, yea the millions of His Followers all over the world, who-have been, and still are paying old debts, ‘some of long years standing, made this suggestion: “To those" who still owe bills, if you do not feel as if though you wish tolspend the money to go in, if it Would be required for you to go in," you do not have to go in, you can be there anyhow. MY SPIRIT and MY MIND may do as it did in Moses’ time; it may also do as it did at the time when Paul and Silas were in jail, while they sung and while they prayed, the door was opened. Your Songs and your Praise will open any barred and shut door, even though the prison doors be closed. Why? You can go around a jail-house or penitentiary and bring the melody of MY Spirit and My Songs_ in Praise, it will unlock the prison doors, and they will say: “Come in and let us all pray.” Aren’t you glad? So you do not have to refrain from going just because you owe bills. It will not cost you anything to go up to the Rockland Palace to ‘a'niount'"to‘ anything. If you owe bills and: think you should not spendthe 350 or 50c, if it were required of you to go in, you can be on the outside, and I can hear you sing. The jailor heard Paul and Silas singing and he heardthem praying. It reached the hearts -and minds of the children of men, the same as it reached the Heart of GOD, when GOD heard their Prayers and answered them."- This Predictioh so soon made by FATHER, even so soon was it fulﬁlled. The admission fee to the Meeting was 35c and 50c. The time scheduled fo-r the Opening of the Meeting was 8:00 P. M. Long "before 8 o'clock, thousands of FATHER'S Followers had met at the Hall. This is one sure thing the Followers will do: if they know, or are expecting their LO'RD’S PRESENCE any place, they will certainly be on time, and in practically every instance, they will be hours ahead of time. FATHER, HIMSELF, Personally arrived about 8:30 P. M., but up until this time, the Rev. Dr. Harten had not arrived. In orderly fashion, but rendering Songs of Praises, the multitude waited for the LORD’S next Com- mand, ﬁlling the air with their Heavenly Songs. Police were on duty but they had little to do. The Rev. Harten had not yet arrived. Newspaper men sought information concerning the occasion, and the meaning of the statement on theihand-bills which read, “This Battle between FATHER DIVINE and Rev. Thomas S. Harten wil'l be one of the Spirit.” They came to FATHER’S‘car, Reporters for the "Times,” the "Her-"R ald Tribune,” and others, seeking to know the meaning of this caption. FATHER explained to them in answer to their query, that the above meant, “There would be a fight of RIGHTEOUS-NESS.” The Reporters asked many questions. For instance: "Mr. Harten has just come to see Your Way of things, hasn’t he, FATHER? Has he not been hostile?" FATHER replied: “Yes, but he was at one o-f our Meet- ings, where he admitted it.” Reporter :, "Now YOU con- sider him as one of Your Allies?” FATHER: Well, of course, it is immaterial to Reporter: "Since it is so late, suppose he doesn’t show up at all?" FATHER: ."We'll if he doesn’t, I have done My Part. ‘Don't you think I have done My Part?" Reporter asked FATHER, in case Dr. Harten did not come, would HE turn it into one ‘of His Meetings? FATHER: “I. don't think -that We would intrude. If he doesn’t arrive, I don't think it would be justifiable. We have a number of our Own Meeting Places.” » « Dr.:Broadman, seated in the car with FATHER, said: "Having waited this long, we will go home and have our own Meeting.” _ Reporter: “This is in the nature, as YOU understand it FA'THER, for the beneﬁt of the Scottsboro Boys, ‘is it not, as far as the admission is concerned? , I know they are supposed to be here.” FATHER: “Yes, a couple of them came and spoke to _ ME a little whileago.” ' Reporter: “How long will YOU wait, FATHER?" FATHER: “I could not say deﬁnitely; you know I move spontaneously.” ~ (The Reporters still continued to ask questions, yet Dr. Harten had not even at this time, which was after 10:00 \o’clock, arrived. In another ﬁfteen minutes or so, “the good Doctor,” as FATHER referred to Rev. Harten, ar- rived. Rev. Harten’s congregation and other participating organizations were much in minority—in fact, they were so scarce, it was almost necessary to take a spy glass to spot them out. After several minutes of consultation", FATHER. and the Rev. Harten agreed to call the thou- sands from the street in, that the Hall might be ﬁlled; FATHER released His Followers, those who still owe bills, from admission fee and permitted them to go in, the same as those who were buying their tickets. Now that everything was in operation, the "Divine” Orchestra continued its playing; Rev. Harten addressed the audience. He stated that the boys have been without . food and without shelter, only as he has provided it for them. Dr. Harten stated he has been criticized greatly for his stand, yet those who were doing the talking, were not doing a thing for the welfare of the Boys. He re- marked: "If there is any man or any individual, or any organization, Religious, Fraternal or any other kind, who is willing to have these boys and provide for them, make - . v'.- .,., -;:.-- _ .-..1_ .=- . -.- ' »)~.._«- .1 ‘V . ‘ '«~1->',..;;r...t.. »~.. ..-. ﬁr it possible for them to give relief to their mothers who- have suffered as much as they have, while they were spending six years behind iron bars, innocent of the charge with which they were charged, if there is a single individual in here, or organization out of here, in New York City or in America who would take these boys in, I am willing to_ turn them over to them, not tomorrow, but this very moment.” He said, ‘"1 think the people ought to come up or shut up.” want the boys to go to school and make something out of themselves. 'They are very fine boys, but you know what all of thisnoppo-sition has caused me to‘ wonder about, and ask myself the question whether these boys are really free or whether they are out on parole. They have been hounded, criticized, held upgeto public ridi- cule, and the public ought to realize this, they are 21 years, and if they are going to be limited in their free- dom, then they had. just as well to- go back to Alabama Prison. If they are free, the people of New York ought to let them enjoy their freedom in truth, and breathe GOD’S Freedom in reality.” I Dr. Harten continued to say: "Because the boys are indebted to the I. L. D., The N. A. A. C. P., and Mr. Leibowitz, they certainly owe a debt of gratitude." Said the Rev., "They certainly should not think that these boys should be their slaves for the rest of their lives. It was an opportunity that individuals and organizations seized. It was not because of their love for these boys that they , went to Alabama to ﬁght their batt’le._I am asking that they will either take these boys oﬁ’ of my hands and do it now andvprovide for them, or let them alone and hold their peace now, henceforth and forever. . "I want you to know tonight I am not disturbed. Any man or woman who has the courage of their conviction and attempts to deal with. their fellowmen fair and square and stands up on their two feet and lets the world ' know where they stand and what they stand for, it dis-- turbs the D ...... .. ("the other fellow”) in H . . . ("the other place”) and puts his imps on earth on your trail.” Dr. Hartman said in reference to a political meeting, which he attended the night before: "Political candi- dates preceeded me, the boys went because I was their guardian and they accompanied me, but they are not in- terested in any political campaign or candidates and never will be, especially during this campaign, while they are in my care. I am interested in candidates and parties, but not the boys; their deepest interest is in free- ing their 5 comrades who are left back there just as in- nocent as they were, back there in Alabama Prison. "And I want to show you,” said Dr. Harten, referring to the Daily Press whom he had requested to make a correc- tion in the error of a statement in reference to the boys’ interest in politics in connection with a meeting in ]a- maica, in a baseball park, which he addressed, ‘Tthat the thing‘ which you wrote in reference to the boys in pri- son, was either a premeditated, vicious lie or misunder- standing.——one or the other.’ ‘They will not attend any political campaign. Men .an_d women of. political and Religious faith worked and labored for their freedom, so I trust that these few lines will ﬁnd you well.” “Then I might say, there are just a few ‘so and so’ papers that are worthy of laying in your cellars, and if you really want to make friends for somebody, just let ‘the so and so’ papers attempt to slander them, but it has passed when the ‘so and so’ paper can kill anybody who is worth a dime, so write on! Write! Keep on writ- ing and realize this, that anything or anybody‘ that is linked up with GOD, all H . . . cannot destroy them. The time has come when the people are tired of you preaching about wh-at GOD used to do for His folks. I preach and teach that Doctrine Sunday after Sunday, then I believe in’ a Religion that you can feel it in your toes. I believe in a Religion that mixes with ﬁre. Fol/ks _may say that you are noisy, like they speak about my congregation, but if y u do not believe in noise, I don’t see how you can believe the Holy Bible. "I am asking, as men and women, Representatives of the MOST HIGH, if we would unite for one common cause and not simply to ﬁght to put down prejudice, discrimination and stop the iron heel’of‘oppression that is oppressing the people in Georgia, Alabama and other parts of the South, but I am asking men and women, all who believe that all people are the same, to see that every human and God-given Being join with men and women who believe in right and help us to destroy the discrimination and segregation that exists, not in Georgia and Alabama, but right here in New York. The South uses one form for lynching and New York and other parts of the country take on another. They will put rope around your neck in the South and you are sent on, but in New York, some of our boys and girls are deprived of an equal opportunity to earn their daily bread; lynch- ing them from those GOD-given humanitarian and citi- zenship rights and I will not hold my peace when men are bought over by crooked politicians and will sell their birthrights for a mess of pottage. I believe we ‘should be encouraged in politics, and I believe we should tell the people who to vote for, that we might not permit ungodly, wicked cut-throats- to make laws for us to live ‘ under. We should choose the judges and other law- “ makers and help to direct the Government, and we see all of it is here. K "I am closing, I have only spoken at random, 1 never did believe that I would be on a Platform with FATHER DIVINE, I had just as well to tell you the truth. Through the Providence of GOD, HE went on down through I the Alabama Prison and brought four boys out to bring us on the Platform here tonight for one common cause ,.and for one common purpose, but not for the purpose of destroying, but here in Brotherly Love ﬁght in the Spirit of our GOD and fight in the defense ofifallen hu- manity, .'

They will be telephoning and ﬁnding out what went on, and how it is ;—not because they have anything against your Great LEADER, but they are just afraid .to trust themselves around. ' ' ' At this time, Dr. Harten called the Scottsboro Boys out to be presented. He suggested to give them a Hand. "I am delighted to have this association, and I do not see anything wrong here tonight. All of you look like human beings to me. All of you have bodies like I have. You have heads. I don’t see any dry bones in the valley out there in the audience. I. see Living Souls very much alive, and the blessed part about it is,-—you are alive in ' the Spirit of GOD. That is the main thing. ‘«‘I am going to California to our great convention there. .~ This Meeting will be telegraphed by a number of men —leading men of our Denomination (Church Denomin- ation) and it will ‘be. told them that FATHER DIVINE and Harten have united together.

At this time FATHER was presented -to His Own Audience which received HIM with oceans of Love. There were a very few persons amid the throng who were not Followers of FATHER, and for this reason, since the hour was late and since FATHER'S Followers were notsupposed to shoulder the burden of ex- pense o-f the hall, as it was not a “FATHER DIVINE” Meeting, but a meeting for the gen- eral public who were interested in the Scotts- boro Boys, the majority of the crowd which was outside when Dr. Harten came in, were charged 25 cents for admission, although. many of the Followers had already paid their 50 cents as had been requested of them as they sought entrance earlier in the Evening.

Aren’t you glad? We have assembled here tonight, ﬁrstly I wish to say, for the beneﬁt of the Scottsboro Boys and for those who are concerned. It has been understood that there are many different organizations and different individ- uals wotking for the beneﬁt of the Scottsboro Boys and for their friends. I have striven for many years to refrain from speak- ing and to refrain from action as a Person. I also have up striven to refrain from publicity, but since the time has truly come, 1 will NO LONGER HOLD. MY PEACE. “I shall PREACH CHRIS-T in Words, but more so in Deeds and in Actions than I ever did before." How» ever, I shall germinate the very atmosphere in which you are living until all mankind shall inhale it and shall exhale it, and shall be partakers of this Great Contagion of which I AM expressing. Standing for Human Justice We are here for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, although I may be ignored in a great meas- ure, but I shall bring mankind to their feet. Aren't you glad? For the beneﬁt of the Scottsboro Boys, this MY Following, as being termed “an organization" has fought persistently for the beneﬁt of these Boys. Aren't you glad? ("So Glad!” assured the Assembly.) These are facts and figures too stout to be denied, and I AM not ashamed of the Gospel of CHRIST. We are out here for the purpose of standing with Dr. Harten as long as he is standing for HUMAN JUS- TICE, and I have the support to stand with him. My Followers did not even know anything about this Meet- ing until yesterday Evening. I just announced it yester- day Afternoon after returning for a few days out of the City. Why? Because I refused to announce it until I received the hand-bills and read them over Myself and brought them to consideration and called up- the good Doctor—-in other words, sent him a special delivery registered letter for further information, and by -that time he called ME over the telephone, between Five and Six o’clock yesterday. At that time, I was serving My Noon Banquet. I went up to My Office and talked with the Dr.,—came down in the Dining Room and made the announcement. Living by Righteous Government Platform I said to My Followers as ‘I. have said on other oc- cas-ions, when we are out on a pleasure trip, such as having out-door exercises in The Greenkill Park and other places, I, have instructed My Followers to live according to our RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLAT- FORM: "If you all owe any just debts, don’t spend money for pleasure so long as you o-we a just debt and have not paid it." For this cause thousands and thousands did not go on the last Excursion, and at least about Five thousands on the time before the last, when we christ- ened the Greenkill Park in the name of “The DIVINE GREENFIELD PARK.” There are not less than Five Thousand who would have gone, bad I given them privilege, or endorsed them going while they owe any just debt. Thiswas at least about Five thousand Dollars withheld from those of the Followers who were the Charterers of the boats. Theychartered the boats and they had to pay the same price for them just the same, but they were willing to sacriﬁce as much as they did sacriﬁce and as much more, if it would have had to come in a way that would de- prive other people of their just and honest debts. For this cause I said the same yesterday Afternoon: I said, "those of you who wish to -go, it is perfectly all right, but remember we are not inviting you to spend money for pleasure unless you are free from debts and obliga- tions.” For this cause many of them did not come, and a good many ‘of them.~d_id- not go; nevertheless, as I told Dr. Harten over the telephone, ‘”if I annou-nce.it this Evening, I will no doubt have a few thousand out." Persecuted tor Righteousness' Sake My Followers will go with ME wheresoever I go, and where I AM. Talking about them losing faith in ME, they have more faith than ever before. They are being increased and multiplied by as many more. '\X/hy? Be- cause they can see distinctly even through the preju- dicial newspapers, that I. AM persecuted for RIGHT"- EOUSNESS’ sake. That'is what it is all about. ‘They knowl AM persecuted for RIGHTEOUSNESS’ sake, and it has long since been said: “Blessed are ye when men shall despise you and shall say all manner of evil against you.” Aren’t you glad? Oh! It is wonderful! Why? Because “great is your reward in Heaven,”—and Heaven is here and now where I AM. The Kingdom has truly come, andvthe Will is now being done. Then I say, there is , no need for the folks to talk, for the more they talk, the more Iwill increase and multiply. Aren't you glad?_ (“So Glad!" assured the ’Followers.) I heard you say: “I am going all the way with FATHER.” I have not done anything yet to what I will do, and this year especially, 1‘ request you, everyone of you to register if you are twenty-one years of age. Be ._ ready for voting if you are twenty-one years of age. If you are not qualiﬁed to pass the Literacy Test, qual- ify yourself and be ready for vo-ting, for you do not know when I AM going to make a call, but whatsoever way I bid you to go, you will go with ME, will you not? (Unhesitatingly a great shout affirming this state-_ ment came forth.) GOD Alone Shall Reign We shall have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT, and it shall belegalized, no longer animagination;——but it shall be legalized and realized, no longer surmised, but we shall have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT legal- ized and universally realized, for the GOVERNMENT is upon His Shoulder. I ,.~ -x. ¢‘~' --.;~'E-.«.«."J~r'n‘&-&‘3".'* .,.‘\_.‘,_ '1 I I came to bring into legalization RIGHTEOUSNESS. TRUTH and JUSTICE, for what said the Gospel: ,, “First seek ye the Kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Did you not seek RIGHTEOUSNESS firstly? Did you not throw away your equipments of war? Did you not get off of the Welfares? Did you not cease stealing and refuse to‘ commit adultery? Aren’t you glad? ("Yes FATHERII” acknowledged the Assembly.) Don't say it unless you mean ,it. I said, we shall have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT and this RIGHTEOUS GOVERN- MENT shall»-be universally legalized, and all mankind shall ‘realize GOD is .no longer something imaginary, GOD is a Living"Reality. . You heard the good Dr. say a little while ago, "the other fellow" is walking around‘. New York City; well I AM walking_around here. (Loud applause.) Peace Everyone: I agree with the Dr. "the other fel- low” has a body and he has plenty of bodies, has he not? But we are going to give GOD some bodies. Aren’t you glad? GOD has a Body as well. We shall let "the other fellow” know if he has a body, GOD must have a BODY. That is why "the other fellow’? gets the best of the Religions because they give "the other fellow" a body, but they never give GOD a Body. My Followers have given GOD a Body, and /GOD shall cast "the other fellow” out, for HE ALONE SHALL REIGN, and all of the inhabitants of the earth must recognize it. Aren’t you glad? That is what it is all about. . Kingdom of GOD To Be Legalized Now I AM not here to ﬁght the different Religions. "I not here in opposition to Dr. Harten especially, but I AM here especially on this occasion to support him in his effort to- help sponsor RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE in his own ﬁght for "HUMAN JUSTICE,” and I might say in My Own language, "Fighting for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUS- TICE,” the RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT’ of which David spoke about, when he declared, ‘RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGMENT are the Habitation of His Throne, the earth saw and trembled.’ ” Give a Righteous Judgment and you will be the in- habitants of GOD'S Throne, and ‘GOD will be en- throned on the Throne of your mind; GOD will RULE —on the throne of the minds of the children of men. That is why we are seeking to politically, and legally elect Righteous and just men to official duty. That is what we are talking about, Dr. We are not going to stop until we have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT. We mean to put every crooked politician out of office. That is what we mean to do. Everyone who will stand for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE regard- l.ess_to his so-called Nationality, his so-called race, creed , or "color, we shall support them,———-for that is the way the 1! Kingdom of GOD was to come, and that is the way It has truly come, but it must be legalized as I have it on My Immediate Staff. There is no difference between so-called races, creeds nor colors, and they are all uni- ﬁed together as One Man at Jerusalem; so shall we have it in all of the courts of our laws, and all civil service work. Stirred from Center to Circumference The time cometh, and now is, every man shall have his constitutional rights exercised by himself and by those who are concerned. As I aforesaid in My Message there read, not one of My Followers is on the welfare. Now, how dareany political party, individual or criti- cizer or opposer to touch ME? How d-are them touch such a Spirit, such a Power? Aren’t you glad? I want you to tell how many of you are not on the ‘ welfare by raising your hand. (A sea of hands was ex- hibited in response.) Now that is what I AM doing for this City, this State and the Federal Government, that I might lift mankind from the dependency of the prog- gers, the loafers and the good-for-nothing, that I might cause man to be more proﬁtable, practical and good-for- something. Aren’t you glad? This is just a slight sketch, this is just a reﬂection of a percent, of a percent of ‘a fraction of a grain of what I will do, for I AM just stirred from center to circum- ference, and I shall no longer hold My Peace. I shall declare and cry and decry all mortality at once and es- tablish RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE by the Spirit of My PRESENCE and by the Spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS, but not by violence. As I often say: "We shall have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT by the Ballot but not by the bullet. Aren’t you glad? Significance of Dialafion As Dr. Harten said, My Password is "PEACE,” it is true, but yet.I..may be just about as radical as he is. I ﬁght with the Sword of the Spirit, and I cause My Fol- lowers to throw away their equipments of war;—-—study war no more, and for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE we shall have righteous and just officials to RULE over us. We shall not have unrighteous and un- just officials to rule over us. That is what I AM talking about. If men would learn the great signiﬁcance of diala- tion,—dial in on the FUNDAMENTAL even as they have dialed in on the negative, they-could and would produce the desirable in their experience and the desir- able conditions would result in our endeavors. "While speaking from that point, of course it is true, it is at random,’ but speaking from that point of a _RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT, I drafted this RIGHT- EOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM from the hearts and minds of those who have been converted to RIGHT- EOUSNES-S, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and the enactment of RIGHTEOUSNESS established in them through which I could ESTABLISH a RIGHTEOUSNESS GOV- ERNMENT Movement, that RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE might be recognized. mi - 4 ‘¥’““"‘* 'a..-....-‘.5. < V -' we "" .‘.:;_~..=.;..:_:.:. : Running +he'Race with Patience , Not one of My Followers will buy anything on credit. I want to see how many of yo-u are there here, who will not buy on instalment plan. Now I AM here as though I stand alone upon this PLATFORM. I want to see how many of you here who are My Followers, who would _do everything I say. (Every visible hand went up.) Don’t say it unless you mean it. Truly might have one said: “Behold we are compassed about with such a great cloud of witnesses: Let us lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily beset us, and “let us run with patience the Race that is set be- fore us.” \ , That is why you have laid aside every weight and the sin that did so easily beset you. You are running with patience the Race that is set before you. You are recognizing GOD as the AUTHOR and the FINISHER of your faith and you are willing to trust in the PRES- ENCE of HIM wheresoever you are or wheresoever you go, knowing that HE is with you, if you are with HIM. GOD will protect you and cause you to be, as I said in that Message that was read, the real Fulﬁllers of true Americanism. \ "They Are All Me" You cannot express true Americanism until you can produce the Spirit of the Constitution in yourself as an individual, and its amendments, and live it and express it. You cannot produce true Americanism until you can produce the Spirit of the Declaration of Independence as individuals, even as the country declared it as a Na- tion. When this is accomplished in you, then and there, and only then can you declare yourself to be a real American according to the Constitution and according to the Declaration of Independence. That is why My , Followers are not on the welfares. ‘That is why they are buying land, thousands of acres of land, of the best quality, of the best developed property in different parts of the country, paying cash for it, buying it and paying cash and remodeling and re-building, building new places without the request for exemption because of their Religion. Is not that an expression of true Independ- ence? This I AM saying to assure you through MY Co- operation with the Scottsboro Boys, itpwill not cause their character nor standard to be lowered, yet it is true, as I said the other day in a Message, “When you come in contact with ME, whenso-ever you serve ME, cooperat- ing with ME, you are serving a NAME above every other name ;—not only in the earth but in the Heaven; a Name above every other Name, and yet a name beneath every other name," for I heard Christendom declare, “He is so HIGH you cannot get over HIM.” “He is so low you cannot get under Him.” "He is so wide you cannot get around HIM.” Therefore, I say, you may ﬁnd the least with ME,,and you may ﬁnd the greatest with ME. The great and the _small, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the illiterate and the intelligent, they are all ME, and I AM them, for "Here you all are, and there I AM.”- "There I sit and here you ’stand.’; In unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose. " A Persecuﬁons Declared Ho-nesty. Competence and TrMu’rh Jesus prayed that you might beone "even as We are V one.” That is why My Followers love ME so, because I do not rob them. These litigations of persecutions that have arisen in opposition to ME, they have only declared my HONESTY, My COMPETENCE and My TRUTH, for it has proven. conclusively, My Followers would trust ME with millions if they had it, yet,-._they can declare I have not accepted of a penny from them. Other disgruntled persons and crooked politicians and crooked legal representatives as bandits have attempted to try to undermine My Followers out o_f their rightful inheritance, but I said sometime ago, "As with a nation so with an individual.” When this country declared her Independence as a Nation, she declared it for each and every American Citizen, that each and all of her subjects could produce the true Constitution and the Spirit of it in themselves, and also produce the Spirit of the true Declaration of Independence individually, and of Course you know what the country stands for. ‘The country will not tolerate another country coming in and taking her territory. There are thousands and thousands who as I said in that Message, arelnot with ME Religiously, who are with ME politically, socially and economically. Why? Because I. stand for RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and if I would have to call on a few millions, I believe there are mil- lions who are not Followers of.Mine and with ME Religiously, who would join hearts and hands with ME; just as the Dr. said a little while ago, he _is standing for HUMAN JUSTICE and HUMAN LIBERTY. I know he is standing for it constitutionally, for the rights of each and every individual; then if perchance, there would be some unjust ruling, that would try to take advantage of My Followers, I would join with millions of others who are not MY Followers to» ﬁght against all injustices, unrighteousness and all selﬁshness, as the experience of these boys, and with thousands of people throughout the Universe, especially in this country, who have sought persistently for their freedom, although it has been declared by some, as if it were merely an ex- pression of the radical: “THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS SHALL NOT DIE." Blessings to +l1e Community These boys know I sent Missionaries down there to see them. They know that! They know I sent Represen- tatives to the Governor of the State of Alabama. I sent Special delivery registered air mail letters with return receipt requested to the Governor and other "Representa- tives. They know I did these things, but the different Representatives did not represent ME in it, because they do not wish to give GOD the GLORY, but since, as I . aforesaid, I refrained from speaking for many years; for the last ﬁve, six or seven years in New York City, I > _. .. 9.; .. -ee~.*.r— v‘:*"-""T‘_: ‘ "" .

I made the announcement on one After- noon and the next Evening the Principal of the school declared there were three thousand added to the school instantly. They placed on somewhere about Two Hun- dred and thirty some odd teachers who were out of jobs. Is not this a Blessing to the Community? (“Oh! it is wonderful!” exclaimed the Assembly.) At one time in these different PEACE MISSION" Extensions in New York City and around New York City, we fed Twenty- ﬁve hundred to "Three thousand people daily ABSO- LUTELY GRATIS. I do not mean at Ten and Fifteen Cents a meal. I AM not counting them, but the meals are not more than Ten and Fifteen Cents anywhere. Qualify Yourselves Is not this standing for RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE? Is not this standing for HUMAN LIB- ERTY? In a short while, we had a Message from the school representative that there were around Five tho-u- sand of My Followers in the night schools. Why was it? It was because I requested them to go . . . . Qualify yourselves intellectually, socially, scientiﬁcally and eco- snomically. Qualify yourselves morally and Spiritually and every way expressible, that you might be able to measure the full measure of RIGHTEOUSNESS and meet every issue of life and be qualiﬁed to ﬁll the dif- "__ferent official duties and offices when they are opened. Then I say, for this year I request the honor of every- one of My Followers to continue- in school . . . . . . I request the honor of everyone of you; all of you who are at least 21 years of age, if you are living in New York City or any other city,—to be ready for register- ing and voting and register regardless to whom you may be directed when the time of election comes. . Now‘ we shall be ready for this RIGHTEOUS GOV- ERNMENT to be established, and all of you My Fol- lowers, although you may be great in number apparently here, at this Meeting this Evening, but as you are here, so they are in thousands and thousands of places all "over the Universe. You will all be ready for registering and voting. This Message which I AM giving this Evening will go forth into- all of the different places of the Movement; all will be ready to do as I bid them do, even as these do, as a Sample and as an Example. A Peace Mission M-oH'o .I would just like to have a little motto, composed around about 1932, read. I will ask -the Secretaryto read it for you.

I thank you. > (APPLAUSE.) PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace FATHER DEAR!” came the grave shouts of the Assembly.) _ Now I would just like to say, no doubt Dr. Harten would like to have a word to say. Please be a little patient. Rev. Harten speaks: I think everything has been said, and I will close by saying “it is good for us to be here.” Im « "WHY. MARVEL BECAUSE MY FOLLOWERS SAY I AM son? I HAVE PERSONIFIED IT AND I AM EXPRESSING IT so THAT MANKIND CAN osseave |T" SAYS FATHER DIVINE Prominent Figures and»Sever_a| Guest Musicians at I |5th Street Righteous Government Forum NEW YORK, N._ Y. (FDS)—It was a rare occasion, on Friday evening, August 27, at the Righteous Govern- ment Forum, 115th Street Extension of Father Divine’s Peace Mission, when almost at the close of the meet- ing, while the Message was being read, THE KING OF KINGS—FATHER DIVINE--entered, which, of course, caused the usual uproar, and completely drowned out .the reader. After several minutes of rejoicing at seeing HIM who is ALL-IN-ALL to millions, with a wave of HIS beautiful HANDS FATHER caused the audience to become calm, and said in low tones to the Secretary, who was reading, "Read on.” The Message climaxed a program of Politics, Music, Inspirations, and Testi- monies. The Forum opened with the reading of the Educational Plank of the Righteous Government Plat- form, which was then submitted to the audience for comments. Madam Duie, whom Father has blessed to be a musical instructor, presented several of her students. Mr. Owens, who played an accordion very ably, accompanied Miss Bisso in two ﬁne selections. Mr. Owens then went to the Piano and accom"panied'Mr. George Marshall, a brilliant baritone singer, who was soon to ﬁll an engagement at the New York Hippodrome. All these talents were re- ceived with an outburst of applause, which kept up until each in turn responded with other selections. Mr. Forteau, a Research worker, in commenting upon the Educational Plank, read from a pamphlet issued by theffelephone Company, asking its subscribers to aban- don the use of the word "Hello," and substitute the name or office of the person speaking. This, they say, saves time. It is to be noted that Father, in the Educa- tional section of tfie Righteous Government Platform, requires that the word "Peace” be used‘ as a greeting, and "Hello” be abolished. "They are not ready for ‘Peace’ yet,” said Mr. Forteau, "but they have made a step towards it, and soon they will partake of it in its entirety.” Miss Perry, representing the-Educational Department of the Righteous Government, when called upon said in part: "I thank Father for all Talents, because they are His. Human education was unable to lift this genera- iticii-T"; it was only an outlet for the ills of the world. We will be able to tell those persons claiming to stand for Righteousness, if they endorse us they are standing with us, if they do not, they are standing for corruption.” She stressed po-sitions for (Civil servI;c¢,>¢pén,4ro:;,19s7’ and 1938, and encouraged those interested to_'-pféparie.‘ themselves. _ ‘ , -,5‘ ‘g A brother who lives next tofithe. 115th Street‘, dom, spoke as follows: "After. going to,severial“"o1i_7ti;: standing colleges, I realized I had only entered at? front door and come out at the back door,,l{nowinjg nothing. I observe your smiles as you pass dg'Lily—+_th_e,y impress me with happiness, more than anycollege could give. I thank Father for giving me a Righteous ‘Platforin on which to stand; a Platform of joy; a Platform of happiness; :1" Platform of love. Soon all the people of the earth will have to recognize it; it is the only thing.-'.’ After a few testimonies and love songs to Father, the vibration became so exceedingly high, that a powerful demonstration of the Spirit was evident, as the Lord God Almighty, Father Divine, spoke from His Personal Tabernacle. Such words of Wisdom 'man has never heard, as when HE said, "All the attributes of man are impersonal until personiﬁed in a person. Then and there the individual personifying it becomes the ex- presser of it. Education belongs to God until given you; it is impersonal; so is the Presidentship degree of the United States impersonal until given Mr. Roosevelt -or any other. Why marvel because my followers say I, am God? I have personified it; and I am expressing it "so that mankind can observe it.” With these words ringing in our Minds, Hearts, Souls and bodies, we dispersed, the time being well expired for Righteous Government Forums, and wended our way to the dining hall abové, to enjoy more of the Personal Presence of our Re- deemer. ‘ ' THANK YOU FATHER A CORRECTION In our issue of Sept. 2d there was an errorfin mean- , A ing conveyed by the omission of the word ﬁ".no_t" ‘in the first paragraph of the introduction to FATHER'S Messageion page three. Beginning with the last word of the sixth line and reading down to the fourth line above the end of the paragraph, the correct rendering is this: You cannot convince the world of your belief land prove the authenticity of it unless you are a truedisciple of the PRINCIPLES which your advocate. :This is FATHER DIVINE’S Teaching to the people, and what can be truer and more significant. than that version?

My dear Sir: Having received your communication of acknowl- edgment for the bill paid by one of MY followers, I wish to advise you of MY appreciation of the same and to advise you of the high Spiritual Standing with which the same is and has been brou‘ght_about. This is the Administration of God. In other words, it is the fulﬁllment of the time that was spoken of, where mortality and sin would be decreased and die, and where God in all His Power, Dominion and Authority -would Reigns supremely. You are living in a New Day, where the T‘ruth’to men is revealed and the same made a Reality in their midst. You might ask—-—-"What is Truth —How is it revealed, and how is it made a Reality in the lives of men ?f’ It is the Principle and Spirit of Life, __ for the Truth is the expression of the Perfection of God. ' Hence, as.I transmit the Spirit of MY Mind and the Mind‘ of MY spirit toall mankind,,I AM raising - the consciousness of men to the Spiritual Plane of ex- , 1-..I«sA‘bI!a;uDIe,0'!rya,a4.5¢-suksar-,9-,;!m.~<.~x-»-¢;n; ...,- ._,.,,"._‘. ‘ _ ‘ '\ ._ , , lpression, causing them to be enlightened and enriched I in the Law of the Spirit of Life. By this Law I AM - making Real the Truth of God,_for I AM causing men to know how Scientiﬁc and how Practica.l the Truth of God really is. Wh-at good is God and why is God preached, and why do men’ call upon God, if He were not Real, and His Blessingswere not to be on theiEa.rth Plane? God is a Positive Factor in the lives of all man- kind, and as each and everyone.by Righteousness, moves within the Law of the Spirit of Life, the Righteousness, or Right-Use-ness of the Law will bring about complete Success, Prosperity, Peace, Joy and Happiness-.,, Fundamentally this Government that shall be, shall be _a Government built upon the Principle of Righteousness, Justice and Truth, and not until men lay aside their per- sonal greedy gains of selﬁshness, and live for the Cause of Humanity, shall we have a Righteous Government. Hence, “As Charity begins at home and spreads abroad,” I AM firstly establishing men, as individuals, » upon a Platform and Standard of Righteousness, Justice and Truth, that, by Righteousness within them, they ' might move upon a Principle that will direct them in all of their experiences and affairs, the same as is ob- served by MY followers paying back all of their old I bills, returning stolen goods, or -paying for same, and other acts of Honesty and of Justice. Hence, as men universally come into the consciousness of Righteousness, Justice and Truth, we shall have‘ uni- versally, the Righteous Government for which" westand. With best wishes for your Success as you endeavor to stand and to unite with us for the common cause of Peace for all mankind, this leaves ME as I desire that you and those who may be concerned, might be also the same, as I AM Ever Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Successful,‘ Prosperous and Happy in ' Spirit, B-odyand Mind and in every orga.n, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even‘"i’n every atom, ﬁbre and cell of MY Bodily Form.

Divine 20 West 115th Street New York City Dear Sir: , It affords me pleasure to report to YOU the honesty of one of YOUR followers and I contribute same to _YOUR upright teachings. Miss Ezekiel S-on of 36 West 123rd Street, who for- merly resided in one of my apa.rtments at premises 217. West 120th Street, in 1931, called at my office and paid rent due to the amount of $49.50, and for which I cheer- fully acknowledge receipt of same. Respectfully yours, CHARLES BRITZ, Jr. Ritghteousness is the Scale of Regulation PEACE August 21, 1937 A. D. F. D. Mr. Charles Britz, Jr. 225 Lafayette Street New York City, N. Y. My dear Mr .Britz: I have received yours of the 11th and admire your open expression of MY Work and Mission as it is seen and manifested among the Children of Men. Rebuilding and reconstructing and reincarnating the Spirits of Just Men within the hearts and minds and lives of men, I AM destroying the Seeds of Unrighteous- ness, working cancellation of all of the negative and_ adverse tendencies, inclinations and corruptive qual- i\ties that have dominated the lives of them. I With the Spirits of Just Men moving within the hearts and within the minds of every man, the Spirit of Righteousness, the Spirit of Justice and the Spirit of Truth will excel in all of their experiences of life. Hence, Righteousness is the Scale of Regulation, by which humanity in all of their business transactions, in all of their Social Activities, and in all of their Political and Economic Actions will find the Principle Key to bring about the desired results sought for. By the Scale of Righteousness, laws and by-laws and other forms of law-enforcement acts will "be removed that are Uncon- stitutional and Undemo-cratic. Injustices and unfair deal- ings will be ruled o-ut and laws will be made that will promote the welfare of the people. It is indeed a pleasure to watch the Spirit of Just Men being made Perfect in the lives of men, and to see how sin, vice and crime and the spirit of immorality is dissolving into its nothingness. Righteousness is mov- ing on into all of the ﬁelds of life, Marching On to Victory, for that which is the Victory shall conquer August 11, 1937.. everything that is an obstacle in its path, and prove ' itself the conqueror over all adversities. - With sincere wishes to you, desiring you to be as I AM, this leaves ME as I AM always, Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Successful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even in every atom, ﬁbre and cell of MY Bodily Form. ‘ Respectfully and Sincere, I AM - A REV. M. J. DIVINE . (Better known as FATHER DIVINE) MJDIVINE.r a A . SECOND CALIFORNIA RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT CONVENTION . OAKLAND AND SAN FRANCISCO, twin cities of the Golden Gate, will ‘be the scenes of the Second annual “California Righteous Government Convention, Septem» ber 24th, 25h’ and 26th. An amazing amount of nation-wide and even interna- tional publicity resulted from the opposition on the part of local reactionary religious and political leaders in Los_ Angeles last year in connection with the first California convention. The chief objective was the protest made over leasing the use of the great (almost sacred) Hol- lywood Bowl for the main session, and of course to the fact that people called FATHER DIVINE GOD. The meetings of the 1937 A. D. F. D. convention are to be as follows: . . I General Business Session, 1:00 P. M., Friday, Sep-' tember 24, at 1485 Eighth Street, Oakland. Educational Program, 7:00 P. M., of’the same day at the same address. , On Saturday at 1 :00 P. M., the Divine Youth Program will be held in the (Oakland) Municipal Auditorium at Twelfth and Fallon Streets, Oakland. At 2:30 P. M., re- = ports of the Righteous Government Workers will begin. At the same auditorium at 7 o'clock in the evening the Political Program will be held. On Sunday the 26th, a Divine Parade will start at 2 P. M. in San Francisco. (Place of assembly} and route of march will be announced by handbills or can be obtained by phoning Sutter 4551.) At 7 P. M. on the 26th, a second General‘ Business Session will be held in the Exposition Auditorium Build- ing at Polk and Grove Streets in the new modern Civic Center in San Francisco. .—._._..__...

D. ,= I -Time: 5.008;. M.‘ , Blessed is the man. who seeth his transgression and turns therefrom, fo-r the LORD our GOD will have compassion upon him, and deliver him from his striving in that day that he seeth his transgression. It is interesting to see the walls of mortality crumble. Men through ego-tism build up prejudicial barriers, and without any real reason, they separate themselves from both man and GOD. They -incur enmity without a cause,‘ and they deprive themselves of happiness and fellowship withtheir LORD and SAVIOUR. They cut themselves off from the masses of the people, because of selﬁshness and bigotry, and at the same time, they claim they are preaching and teaching,Love and Unity. "They exercise hatred and dissension, and at the same time, they desire the cooperation of the same people with whom they have been an.tagonistic towards, but these expressions are all detrimental to the individuals who engage in such, and everyone can see, such practicesido not pay. The Rev. Harten, .although persistent in his ambition V against the Movement, like Saul of Tarsus when he was going down to Damascus to persecute the early Christians, was blinded to the things of the Spirit. The veil of ma» terialism was so thick before him, when he was intent in his mission to destroy the Christians that he could not be- hold anything good or upright in the disciples of CHRIST, but when. he was stopped in his destructive pursuit and was convert.ed, being knocked off of the animal which he rode, he immediately became as zealous to defend the Cause o-f CHRIST as he was to offend it. Formerly, Thomas S. Harten, of the Holy Trinity Baptist ‘Church, of Brooklyn, had heard of the great Works of FATHER DIVINE, but as he, himself ad» mitted on a previous occasion in the PRESENCE Of- FATHER and hundreds of His Followers, at a Banquet, he was prejudiced t.o the Cause, and for no reason what- soever on. the part of FATHER DIVINE, other than that His Wo1‘k_s were Supreme to all mankind, he formed a ' rs m .. .._..u»\..:..~. ..' -L.¢~-— « .,\ .__ ...,..~.._,«._- y~.,.-—\.,.,._ ...,,.~\,.‘,.‘,,4,,..-..,,~, , I,-.o,,;,r.;._,-...-..,,~n\...x;-'«»~'«As-w~.-.-~5-at-.-u~.,/*-V-~l'~.* *)"k{.’~“--KT‘.-;F“K -‘<~._:-v\,~'..,n.n_.—-.;,.<»- A-u.~\..<.._,-..,»-.u./~-.,~s,,i4I~<.r"*qtI-u~°\.4u\/u,_;a;.q,9;.,,_,(,./«>..<3- dislike for the Name of GOD FATHER DIVINE, but now since he is converted, and this truly is a conversion (Ministers must also BE BORN AGAIN.) he has de» clared: “I have heard of THEE by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth In View at this fact, FATHER DIVINE, Our LORD, has blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against him, and all others who will follow the noble example of Rev. Harten, which ordinances and beliefs were contrary to the PRINCIPLE of ‘CHRIST. HE has removed. them out of the way, dispelling them forever. I On a previous occasion, when Rev. Harten was brought , through the incident of The Scottsboro Boys, face to face with FATHER, he stated the following: “I must say that GOD moves in a mysterious way. You I see I have never met.FAiTHER DIVINE. I was surprised when I met His Followers. They were so congenial, when they left me, they left a lasting impression behind. As I said, this is my first time to meet FATHER DIVINE. All I know is what I have heard about HIM and the reason why I say that GOD moves in a mysterious way, now I have said this, to be honest I said: “I would never. go where FATHER DIVINE was.’ So yesterday after the ladies left, I said to myself,» ‘Now am I going where FATHER DIVINE is?,’ And I am here, and I have en’ joyed every minute that I have spent here. After all, we need» to be careful what we say and how we say it. You realize that JESUS CHRIST was cruciﬁed, not because that HE was wrong, but HE was misunderstood and mist represented. Now I am trying to do my little work,” and in consideration hereof, Rev. Harten spoke of a future meeting to be held in the interest of the boys, and invited FATHER'S PRESENCE, and suggested that FATHER could talk as long as HE wished, say just what HE wanted to say, and in the way that HE wished to say it. This is the result of that occasion. Handrbills were printed and the public invited. In View of the misconception ‘concerning the admission fee, FATHER gave an explanation which is wholly satisfying to all, for it is fully‘un.derstood that FATHER DIVINE “ is a FREE GIFT to all mankind; hence, as FATHER has explained in the Message, HE is an invited Speaker, and not the sponsor of the Meeting, therefore, HE had naught to do with the admission. This is the arrangement of Dr. Harten and his Committee.

GOOD HEALTH! GOOD WILL and a GOOD AP« PETITE, GOOD MANNERS and GOOD BEHAV» IOUR, with ALL WISDOM, ALL :KNOWLEDGE and ALL UNDERSTANDING, with the FOUNT of GOD’S OMNISCIENCE open. I have risen at this particular juncture to say, this was requested by the Rev. Dr. Harten. Of course, I said I would permit our Band to play fo-r them, and no doubt, we would be there; Of course, it had not been made known when Dr. Harten mentioned it_ to ME, of any ad» mission fee; nevertheless, as it is for the cause ofthe boys who have been in prison for 10 these many years, this is a Meeting held by Dr. Harten, and his manner of meeting these obligations; for this cause we are participate . ing. He has requested and solicited My Cooperation. I AM not running this meeting Personally Myself, having not announced it up until this particular time..I just re’ ceived the handbillslthis Afternoon. Having read them over and stopped for consideration, I sent the Dr- a spe/ cial delivery registered letter, asking him to call ME and give ME any further information, he would like to give ME in connection with the Meeting, but just as I was called away from the Table, Dr. Harten was on the wire - and beseeched and requested us to attend. I said in My letter in part;—of course, I did’ not directly, exactly di» vulge the fulness of the letter, b-ut I said in part, “My . Following was such that when I carry them to a place, they usually crowd out those who would be required to pay admission, and as Covworkers of a GRATIS PEACE . MISSION, and giving our services GRATIS to mankind from every angle expressible, I did not feel justiﬁed in carrying so many of My Followers to crowd out those who would pay admission fee;”—nevert;heless, he insisted o-n our coming. For this cause, for the beneﬁt of the boys, I will be there, if I allow nothing to prevent, and all of My Coryyorkers, Followers and friends are welcome to go ‘En whatsoever way they and _ even you g5,, you do not wish to go inside for any cause, it is your‘ privilege to follow ME as far as you can. W "A Battle Will Be Fo:ugh’r" I have heard all of My True Followers say, and I still hear y'ou sing: “If FATHER leads ME, I will follow. I’ll go with HIM, I’ll go with HIM all the way.” Then I say, we are anticipating having you all out and I AM quite sure the majority of you will go. You are welcome t:o go as My Guests, fo~r§~yoia are “My Guests." GOD”S Family is so big, as all otheiyfamilies are united in one, naturally, if ,_I AM invited, you all -will come. I believe we will have aggood‘ time. ~ ' Now it mentions “A battle between FATHER 'DI» VINE and Rev. Thomas S. Harten will be fought,”—in; other words, “will be one of the Spirit,” he says. This is , not a battle as some have alleged. Some have called him up and suggested getting someone to cooperate in repudiating ME, but hevsaid, he was not bothering about any ﬁght or anything of that sort. A fountain cannot bring forth sweet water and salt water at the same time. He said, he is contending for RIGHTEOUSNESS and for human jusr tice. He is willing to cooperateiwith ME, at least. He says he desires ME to be the principal Speaker, also insisted‘ on- ME saying just‘ what I wish to say, and move according to My Own Spirit. He. insisted on My Orchestra doing the same. He saidall we must needs‘ do, is to go there and carry on just the same as we do in our own Meeting, sing and Praise and testify or whatsoever you may do. ' Cooperaﬁon Through cooperation, all things are possible, for this I may mean just a little step in a different direction from what the masses of the mortal minded people have been thinking. Is it not written, “At the Name of Jesus CHRIST every knee must bow and every tongue, must confess”? They all must recognize the CHRIST, _yea, _ 1. the -CHRIST in the Flesh, even as you do, for all mankind ' have the same Spirit o-f Life and ofjthe same Blood all mankind were formed. For this cause, they all will think and see even as you do afterrwhile; so marvel not at this. It is not to be a ﬁght for criticism of the Righteousness of the Spirit as manifested in individuals; it is to ﬁght for “Human Justice,” as he puts it,—for “RIGHTEOUS NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE,” as I put it, .and I have declared we shall have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERN— MENT, hence, when we ﬁnd there are those who are convinced and are willing to cooperate and give the Spirit of My PRESENCE access among them even it matters not for what purpose it may seem. My Spirit and My MIND will not refrain from doing that for whichl came, and that was to bring all mankind into th_e conscious realization of the PRESENCE of ‘GOD, .: 7 I say, expecting all of you ’out.AThis is ﬁrsti announicement; only a few hours, as I told him over the telephone, as I had a letter from him saying that some had said that My Power had diminished, or words to that effect, and he felt as if though [I could not bring a crowd, but My Followers are willing and ready at all times, and especially when and wheresoever they know 'I will have access, for you all love to hear ME talk, do you not? (In unhesitating response the Followers sanc~ tionedi this statement with the following: “Yes, Just YOU LORD, all the -time") I say, you all would rather hear ME talk than anyone else, nevertheless, it has long since been declared: “Be mindful how you entertain strangers." GOD is Here On Earth It is our duty to entertain others hospitably and express it accurately. By so doing, we will be sowing seeds of kindness with the anticipation of reaping the fruit of -the same. Aren’t you glad? However, as I say, you can tell the others, those of you under the sound of My Voice, we will be there, even if we can only be on the outside. It is all the same to _us, just so we be there and you Praise your GOD. Aren't you glad? We shall make the Heavens ring, make all mankind know without and within, GOD is right down here on. earth. ' I said, we will be there with or without a Body, but we shall be there in our Bodies also. This, and the other Extensions are requested to be there, so tell them, I said it. _ “Fighting for Human Justice," as he puts it, but as I put it, we are ﬁghting for “RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUS» TICE and TRUTH," which means the same; therefore, we shall have it right down here on the Earth Plane. We are not studying about going anywhere to get it. Aren’t you_ glad? (“So glad!" returned the Assembly.) At this Recognition after awhile everybody shall see and know it is best to recognize GOD. A Body of a Few Millions Now I want to ask, “How many are there of you, who expect to be there?" (The whole Assembly bore witness of their presence by raising their hands.) ‘Oh! It is wonder» full My Word is My Bond, and My Bond is My Security upon which I stand-. My Word is My RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM. I have put My Word down as a Foundation for all mankind‘. Aren't you glad? . We are not thinking anything about having the VICTORY; you know anything I get into, I AM the VICTORY. I AM the VIC-'I‘ORY with or without the people. It is absolutely immaterial to ME, for I carried with MYSELF and within MYSELF the VICTORY when you did not see ME. Before I had any Body, I was just, as what the people call “RADICAL” as I AM to- day. Now I have a Body of a few millions. I AM just the same today with MY BODY as I was before I had any Body. ’ “Know ye not that you are the Body of CHRIST and members in particular?” Remember, the mystery there. I say, ‘Before I had ‘any Body, even treading -the Wine’ M15 p_re‘ss all a_lon’e,’__’ I was the same as I AM today, and I shall be the same with a BODY. That is why I stress vividly: “I will do this, that or the other with or without a Body." That is the mystery, so it is a glorious privilege to‘ know with whom you are dealing, and to know with whom you stand. Nlagnéﬁc Currem‘ of GOD'S lnfinifeness You are not ashamed of the Gospel of «CHRIST. On every issue such as one, you will be there, although I had not made the announcement until now, .and it is only a few hours of, but as I have declared even in the Message just read‘, if it were necessary to call out Five Thousand one day for the next, they could be there. That is the myst:ery. That is why they cannot understand us. I mean, those of My soicalled friends, as being? termed “My enemies,” they cannot understand ME, because I carry in MYSELF that Magnetic CURRENT of GOD’S IN» FINITENESS. I attract and draw to ME the desirable» ness of the DESIRABLE, therefore, they all shall event» I ually desire ME. If they do not desire ME, they shall not have that which they do desire. I AM the desirableness of the DESIRABLE, and I AM that which is desired from every angle expressible, for I will satisfy each and all of the people. Aren’t you glad? Cooperating in Christ": Name How marvelous it is to know your GOD. Then I say, you will be there, I AM sure you will, whether you get on the inside or not, it is all right. We are not trying- to crowd out all of the other persons and people who are not personally with us, but for RIGHTEOUSNESS' sake, we stand as we have STOOD for the Scottsboro Boys, the mistreatment of the Jews in Germany and all of the minorities’ mistreatment which they have been re— Ceiving at the hands of the wicked. We are STANDING for RI'GH"I‘EOUSNES~S, JUSTICE and TRUTH, there’ fore, on such an occasion, My Coworkers and Followers will cooperate with ME, and I will cooperate so far as legality and‘ true Evangelism are concerned with those ﬁho are endeavoring to do such a thing in CHRIST'S ‘oily NAME. , Now, remember, he even requested that I might speak ‘ an hour. I said I did not wish to speak so long, and as a rule, I do not. I try to refrain from speaking as much as I can on such an occasion, to give those who are carrying on the Meeting a chance to speak, and others, thatthey might have to speak, but as he said he wanted ME to be the principal Speaker, and he wanted ME to say any’ thing I wanted »-to say, an.d for the fear of any embarrass- ment, he further stressed, no one would‘ have anything to say behind ME for criticism. He would not be a party to such, he declared. That is to say, he would not endorse nor allow anyone to rise up after I had spoken to criticize ME nor My MESSAGE, nor My Followers, but he stressed especially he wanted My Orchestra to come and play just as -they wish to play, and have full access. g V l I: l J 9 i e. l .3- ‘. if ‘Speaking in Deeds and Actions "Inst go on there and be at home. I want .a good many of My Players from the different Extensions, from here and all of the Extensions in the City here—-if there are any in any 0-f the other Extensions who wish to participate, they are welcome to do so———not only so, but all of the Co/ workers, Followers, Believers and Friends fro-m all of the different Extensions and those who are not connected with , any of them, ifs they are Believers, 'Co»workers, friends, they have the privilege to participate in this Meet.ing~—at A least to the extent of being there, to say: “TELL IT TO THEM, FATHER!” Now remember, we do not wish to overrcrowd the Hall. “It only accommodates,” “around six or seven thousand,” I think they say, for this cause, I might hold you back a little, and give those who are paying their fees a chance to go in. I can} hear your voices on the outside. Aren’t you glad? Of course, I could, if I wished to, fill it up, and there would not be any standingroom for another one. Rev. Harten said, that all of the different newspaper Representatives will be there-; while with ME, it is IM- MATERIAL. What I AM doing is not under cover. It is known on the housetop, and IAM speaking in Actions. and in Deeds more legibly than I speak in the" Voice you -~ hear now. The Words o-f the human language, with all of the Earth’s vocabularies of - this present civilization, are inadequate to explain the mystery and the signiﬁcance of GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE and the Working among His People. I thank you. PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace FATHER DEAR!” responded the Assembly.) Now going to the Rockland Palace, right up here in the City, you do not have to deprive yourself 0-f going up there because you owe bills. If you owe bills, and you do -not feel as if though you wish to spend the money to go in, if it would be required fo-r you to go in, you do not have to go in, you c.an be there anyhow. MY SPIRIT and MY MIND may do as it did in Moses’ time, It may also do as it did‘ at the time when Paul and Silas were in jail, while they sung and while they prayed}? the door was opened. Aren"t you glad? Your songs and your Praises will open» any barred and shut door, even though the prison doors be closed. Why? You can go around a‘ jail-house or penitentiary and bring the melody of My SPIRIT and My Songs in Praise. It will unlock the prison’ ,. doors, and they will say: “Come in and let us all pray.” Aren’t you glad? So you do not have to ‘refrain from going just because you owe bills. Praise and Prayer Reach Hearts. of GOD and Men It is not like having a daily Outing of amusement and pleasure, such as we have been having, going up the Hud- son and such like, naturally, that is a day I have set apart for your a.musement——a day as a rule, as a workrday where . you would be on your daily occupation, earning means and funds to meet your obligations, natu_ral1y,.y_ou do not have to go, and would not go so long'a.s‘yo”u owe bills can work, because those days were days of occupation, and it ' costs you something to go there, but it does not cost you anything to go up to the Rockland Palace, to amount to anything, I might say, and if you owe bills and think you should not spend the 35 cents or 50 cents, I mean, if it were required of you to go in, you can be on the outside, and I can hear you sing. The jailer heard‘ Paul and Silas singing and he heard them praying. It reached the hearts ’ and minds of the children of men, the same as it reached the Heart of GOD, when GOD heard their Prayers and answered them. I thank you. ‘ Now tell all of your friends the same. I hope you all understand. Now I AM not telling you you cannot go, because‘ you have not made enough money to pay up all of your bills. So-me of you have burned property and’, houses, and some of you have to pay for houses and land and many other things that would ordinarily take men years and years to pay, you have almost paid up all of your bills, even over and above that, such as I have declared or stated. I do not blame you for not going off on pleasure trips. I don’t blame you for staying away from amusements, and spending money foolishly o-r selﬁshly for your human pleasure, but on an occasion like this, you all can go, if you wish to. It will be worth your going. I thank you. "MORE OF EVERYTHING" NEEDED “MORE of everything,” and “More for the money,” are the underlying needs for all people, so the Brook- ings Institution—eminent statistical bureau has found. Consumers in the United States need nearly twice as much as was consumed in 1929 to attain to “a reasonable standard of living,” according to ﬁgures of the Depart- ment of Agriculture. We need, in excess of 1929 production, 43% more eggs; 53% more milk; 79% more fresh vegetables; 108% more butter——and forty million extra acres, beyond 1935 plantings‘, to grow our needs. Present poverty in the midst of plenty, even accord- ing to the Dept. of Agriculture ﬁgures, is not “reason- able,”——therefore unreasonable. You know the answer as well as we do.

As the Gospel Ship, “City of Keansburg” steamed slowly into the King's Town Harbor Monday afternoon, August 30th, thousands of voices could be heard blended harmoniously in songs of praise to GOD, FATHER DI- VINE, BLES-SOR of all mankind! /- For the second time this summer the King's Town Dock was lined with hundreds, some having motored , up from New York City, some from the many Prom- ised Land Extensions, and the usual crowd which as- sembles to look on, unconscious that the GREAT MAG- NET is drawing them. . With eyes seeking to penetrate the dense crowds which lined .the deck railing, the ardent Followers on shore scanned the boat for the one Figure, their LORD and SAVIOUR, and when at last He was discerned on the stairway between the two upper decks, a great shout of joy rang out. As soon as the gangplank was lowered, streams of children of all ages apparently, poured from the Gospel Ship onto the dock. Quickly buses and cars were boarded, and with Divine Greenkill Park as their destination, the thousands looked forward in happy anticipation to the next feature of this delightful occasion. When sufficient time had elapsed for all to reach the Park, the great outdoor Dinner Bell pealed to announce that the Banquet was in readiness, and so-on the great Banquet Table was ﬁlled to capacity. A tremendous ova- tion greeted the LORD’S Personal Appearance and the Banquet proceeded. -. Invited guests, Followers, Visitors and all mankind were Blessed to hear the Beautiful Message herewith recorded, delivered by our HOLY IMMACULATE SAVIOUR, FATHER DIVINE. , . A FATHER, WE THANK YOU. FATHER speaks as follows: PEACE EVERYONE: ("Peace, FATHER!” returned thousands o-f voices.) GOOD HEALTH, GOOD WILL, a GOOD APPETITE, with GOOD MANNERS and GOOD BEHAVIOUR! These and all other Blessings I bring, that the children of men might enjoy the recog- ..~'. _. .9 .. .a »'5"&— av...-_; .4 _'...-~ 3.. ;.-~ ‘-~- A r .-m .s- L: }-’.-c: ;’;.*:*.‘.‘.‘-‘L’-.~-11'.-:...;.; ,. ‘_‘—,.;--. ~'-‘AL:-i’a'iv!§'¢‘:A-ugi '5-' ’ .-~...-7..'l-.~.- '“ “L " ' A i ' I / .‘ A V 1,‘ ..

Unless we have GOOD HEALTH, a GOOD W/ILL for everybody, a GOOD APPETITE and GOOD LUCK ‘and GOOD MANNERS, we are not conscious of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE, ——but when all of the desirable Attributes are in evi- dence, when they are active in our lives-, then and there we are conscious of §OD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE, and by so being, dark clouds of doubts and fears are dis- pelled and the very Spirit of the Consciousness of the P'RESvE-NCE of GOD is the source of all supply. Then and there it will, and it actually does satisfy every good desire. Aren't you glad! (“So glad, FATHER!” was the unanimous response.) That is what it is all about! . . . .~ and that is what they are stirred about! . . . . because I have created a conscious conviction and realization of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE in the hearts and lives of millions, and by so doing they are transformed by the renewing of their ‘mind. They have become to be NEW CREATURES, ’ no longer walking in the old, but in the NEW and LIV- ING WAY! For this cause we are rejoicing and we are exceedingly glad! Through every opposition, through every criticism, through all of the adverse and undesir- able conditions I still stand, stressing the signiﬁcance of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE, for I have convinced mil- lions GOD is PRESENT with them! New Creatures by Consciousness -of GOD'S Presence Now that was the MISSION of CHRIST! Men do not stop to consider the Mission of CHRIST was to convince mankind that GOD was with them and no longer in the imaginary somewhere, but here and now in our conscious conviction and realization, which in short is in our con- scious presence, where we are consciously present with GOD, at home at all times. "His Name shall be called Immanuel, being interpreted, GOD is with us.” By being conscious of GOD'S PRESENCE, it causes men's dispositions to change C0mpletely,‘—it causes them to become to be NEW CREATURES! It causes them to walk in the LIGHT I have so freely given and give PEACE and JOY and HAPPINESS to millions. There- fore the conscious realization of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE is worth more than your millions! . Just look over this vast audience this evening and be- hold the JOY UNSPEAKABLE',——you cannot surmise the JOY that has been actually exhibited, for GOD is in reality a Living Factor and has become to be a Living Reality made real, tangible and practical, through Christ- ianity! Aren’t you glad! For this cause we can rejoice and continue to rejoice to see the great Unfoldment of in suthia recognition and to see and understand distinctly what ‘this Unfoldment is doing for GOD’S People. I -It is LIFTING them out of lacks and wants and limi- tations! It is lifting them o-ut of the line of begging! It is lifting them from the bread lines! It is taking them off the Welfares! It is giving them their EMANCIPA- TION, which each and every real true self-respecting and law-abiding citizen has been seeking. If you are really self-respecting, if you are law-abiding, you do not ‘desire to be beggars, you do not desire to be inferior to your fellow brother, but to the extreme reverse, those of you who have been on the Welfares, those of you who have been going around soliciting, begging and borrowing, you are telling others you are inferior to them in a way of expression, for the lack of your main- tenance and for the lack of true Independence, the In- dependence that this country declared for her subjects as a nation. ' GOD'S Yoke Is Easy Oh that man could but learn the great signiﬁcance of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE and what it is actually do-ing for all of His People! As with a nation, so with an individual, and as with an individual, so with a nation. Let us lift up a STANDARD of RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and ]US-TICE, and still transmit it, even though it is inculcated, even though it is reincarnated, even though it is personiﬁed and re-personiﬁed. Let us transmit it to others that they too, as well as you, might be partakers of. it and produce the Nature and the Characteristics o-f the CHRIS-T. ' Then and there we can have a RIGHTEOUS GOV- ERNMENT, for the Government emanates from the lives and the hearts and the spirit and the mind and the dominion of men. When you dominate you should dominate and predominate with the Spirit of RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, by the Spirit of the CHRIST that is within you. When you are converted, you are not converted merely to say, ‘I am a Christian.’ A You are not merely converted to say, ‘I am a Follower of the CHRIST,’ in words, but let your ACTIONS and your DAILY DEALINGS with your fellow brethren be that of the upright in heart. When this is established in you in reality, and you recognize your Unity or Fellowship with your GOD, then and there you will no longer think GOD’S Ways are hard, for you will see in reality the Go-spel is ful- ﬁlled: ' "Come unto Meall ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest; take My Yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and thou shalt ﬁnd rest-for thy soul; for My Yoke is easy and My Burden is light.” ‘ GOD'S Yoke is not’ heavy! GOD’S Yoke is not hard,——~it is easy and His Burden is light after you shall -Shave learned of Him aright! I’ need not say more at this particular ‘juncture’. You can see distinctly what GOD has done for you, and what GOD I has done for these of you among us and those of us collectively, GOD can and will do for all mankind Universally, and all will be able to ‘recognize GOD’S . ACTUAL PRESENCE and dwell in His Presence by your - conscious conviction and by your recognition. Make Your Affirmations Great Whilst sitting a little while ago, I thought for con- sideration although there may be those among‘ you who are called mathematicians, yet I venture to say you have not considered making affirmated enumerations up into decillions times decillions. As a psychologist, make your affirmations as great as your mental'ity“can advance and express them.‘ Whentyou enumerate up zinto the decillions times decillions timestdecillions, and this enumeration-sis an affirmated enumeration as though you are making an affirmation concerning the Blessings you are re- ceiving, if you sincerely believe it and rely upon it, your affirmations will be conﬁrmed by the ALMIGHTY, and the Scripture will be fulﬁlled in reality. You will not ‘have room to receive the limitless Blessings of which you have made enumerated affirmations concerning the Blessings of, which you had not yet come into conscious O possession. AFFIRM! It has long since been said, "AFFIRM and GOD will CONFIRM!” Every Positive and: Righteous and Unselfish AFFIRMATION you can make, without doubting and without fearing, GOD can CONFIRM it by His Omniscience and by His Omnipotence! Aren’t you glad! By GOD'S OMNISCIENCE and by His OM- NI.POTENCE, GOD can and will CONFIRM every positive affirmation you can affirm, even though your affirmations may be enumerated affirmations into the de- cillions times decillions times decillions. If you can imagine such an expression as the limitless Blessings in the way of affirmation and in the way of enumeration, even so as GOD is the CREATOR, the AUTHOR and the FINISHER, GOD can CONFIRM it, if you can af- ﬁrm it! .5 ' GOD Can iéléferialize Everything If you can enumerate, GOD can CREATE and GOD can make it real, make it a reality, if you can enumerate -* it, for GOD would not allow man to have more un- derxstanding than Him. How can man affirm or enu- merate in the way of enumeration through an affirmated enumerated expression more than what GOD can con- firm and bring into outer expression or visibility, that he might realize that which he had ‘but affirmed? That which he had affirmed GOD can co-nﬁrm, andthat which he had enumerated, GOD can CREATE, and that which GOD can Create, GOD’ can MATERIALIZE and can bring it into outer expression. I.f you can enumerate it, GOD can CREATE it, and if GOD can ‘Create it, Hecan TANGIBILATE it and MATERIALIZE it, for" GOD can Maierialize everything you can imaginenor realize! I. If there be a question in My heare-r’s minds as to whether these are facts and ﬁgures, stop yourselves and consider the mystery,—you can plainly see the Un- foldment of the Spirit. Can you not see the tangibiliza- tion of the Spirit and’ the materialization of the same? Can you not see the Personiﬁcation of that which I have declared as a Living Reality, for GOD has firstly tangibilated it? After you have surmised it and visualized it, then it is brought into materialization and into a Personifying’ process until GOD will. Personify that which you. realize, and when it is actually Personiﬁed, others can understand, for it is spoken in the actuated expression and, thelyggible or outer expression of a man. » ACTIONS speak»; louder than words, and your actions are put forth. into expression inVthe»-Personified expres- sion‘-o-f your daily experiences, whenyou‘ are .Personify- ing that which you vividly surmised" and imagined. After your imagination, then came forth into expression the tangibilization of .it,-——-it being made tangible,———but it was not sufficiently convincing until it was Personiﬁed for you. As a person, things must necessarily be Per- so.niﬁed,——especially that which you are convinced of and desire to vividly realize and convince others of the same. Harmony With Cosmic Forces GOD created man in His own Image and‘Likeness, but as invisible He was misunderstandable. Man could not understand GOD as much as he could when GOD brought Himself into outer expression by tangibiliza- tion, and brought man in the same outer expression by ‘ forming man out of the dust of the ground and declar- ing to the cbnscious mentality of humanity that He created man in His own Image and Likeness. By this, man is convinced to believe and realize that which was merely a supposition at one time, fo-r it is made visible, it is made observable, it is made tangible; hence it is made PRACTICAL, it is made PROFITABLE and by being profitable it is ‘good-for-something and no longer in that state of expression as being good-for-nothing. Then I say, make your affirmations at least as high into the mystery of My World of Expression into de- cillions times decillions times decillions. With. such an affirmation GOD will have some CONFIRMING to do,. will He not? . . . . to CONFIRM all you affirm accord- ing to the Conviction of your heart. Aren't you glad? When I speak into existence GOOD HEALTH, GOOD WILL and a GOOD AP‘PE'TITE for everybody, I‘ am speaking GOOD LUCK and GOOD WEATHER and every other good and desirable expressio-n. If you are in perfect harmony with your CREATOR, GOD will be in harmony withyou in the expression of the Cosmic Forces , of Nature. Aren't you glad! This is not a supposition! This is not superstition! This is the conscious conviction and realization of mil- lions, for it is scientific as you are a person. Did not GOD speak to the children of Israel and Moses in the 1132 l.ig.h.tning and in the water? The Cosmic Forces of Na- ture, they worked in harmony with them, for they were in harmony with His Command; therefore GOD obéyed their desires and worked in harmony with them. Did I not tell you today you would have good weather? It may have rained all of the week, but going out on this Outing the weather must be in harmony with us, for the weather is the'Cosmic Force of Nature, and GOD your CREATOR being pleased with you, if you are in harmony with Me, then harmonious ‘conditions will result in the Cosmic Forces of Nature, the Creation of GOD the CREATOR. Undesirable Conditions Due to -Antagonism This is not the only thing that the Universal Mind Substance will «do for us. It will work harmoniously from every angle expressible. As with the Cosmic Forces of Nature and other atmospheric conditions of the Crea- tive Nature of the CREATOR, even so with your physi- cal system. Your bodies, your structures, will be in har- mony as long as you live inthe Light of your under- ' standing and be in harmony with your CREATOR. Did not Joshua ﬁght, according to the Scripture, the battle around Jericho, and did not the sun work in harmony with him, according to the parable? To the religious we are obliged to believe this is not mere superstition, but we are consciously convinced to believe it is scientific and a reality, for as with a nation, so with an individual, and as with the nation, so with the CREATOR. Why is it undesirable conditions result in the lives of men? It is because of the undesirable arid antagonistic mental condition of them. That is what it is all about! Everybody should be SUCCESSFUL! If they adjust matters satisfactorily with the CREATOR by being in harmony with Him in your entirety, be in harmony with your GOD, your CREATOR, with His expressions through the cosmic Forces of Nature, through the Hand of Nature, and through other ex- pressions recognize GOD, your LORD and your SA- VIOUR, and be in harmony with. Him by harmoniza- tion, and by so doing, through analyzation, you can get matters adjusted satisfactorily. If there would be any inharmonious condition’ expressed or existing in your mental world of expression or in your system, you « could get matters adjusted satisfactorily by taking your mentality through the analyzation of the Spirit and allow your CREATOR to analyze your short-comings, and live unselﬁshly so far-reaching and so convincingly until others will be obliged to believe it and live thus accordingly. Sowing and Reaping When this is accomplished, dear’ ones, you will not have an occasion to fret not worry, for lo, the very BEST will always be with you, for the Scripture willgbe fulfilled in ‘reality, no longer an imagination. “Give to the world the best you have, and the best will come back to you.” ._‘ x-;,,‘=_r 1‘ 2 I -3 .3. Sow good seeds, everybody, fo-r fbulsh-all reapjust what you sow. Now aren’t you glad? (“So glad, LORD!’-’ assured the great assernb-ly.) You have been sowing seeds of erroneousness and reaping the fruit of negation for the lack of under- standing, but when you reverse your system of sowing, and sow the seeds o-f Positiveness, things will not work detrimental to you, for those things "that have been working detrimentallyewill work harmoniously, and the.Scriptute will be fulﬁlled, at least the Epistle: “All things work together for good to those who love the LORD and are called according to_His Purpose.” I need not say more at this particular juncture. There are many others here who would like to have a word to say. Aside from that, we have a Message here that was given by Me as a Person. I believe all would be glad to hear it. Let ‘us live in this recogni_tion,—-our conscious realization and recognition of GOD'S AC- TUAL PRESiENCE,———by bringing ourselves and all of our powers into subjection to the FUNDAMENTAL. If there be any imperfect expression in words, deeds or actions, carry these expressions though the process of harmonization and analyzation. They will ‘be brought into subjection to the Mind you desire to harmonize with and the Mind you desire to harmonize with will analyze the condition of your mind and will adjust mat- ters satisfactorily, -for your mind will be done away with, and the Scripture will be fulﬁlled: “Let Thy Kingdom come and Thy Williibe done.” - GOD’S- Will will be done in you, when your will is done away! I thank you. All Nations and Peoples One,Big Family PEACE EVERYONE: As I aforesaid, ‘we have a Message here from the twenty-seventh. We would like to have you hear and know‘ just what I have said and what I am doing, and what I have done when I am not here Personally Present. This I have presented to- the world; therefore all who are with Me in Spirit and in Mind will keep in touch with what I am doing when I am apparently absent,—that is, the better part of it-. I- am not hid from you! Then I say, we will hear from this Message. Of course if there is anyone must needs go, I do not wish to bore you in the manner of keeping you, but I do wish to show you a slight.’ sketch and a reflection of .a percent« of a percent of a percent of a fraction of a percent of a grain of what I shall do Uni- versally for the children of men, as well as what I have done for these here with Me. A Now is not this a beautiful audience‘? Is not this Dining Room a slight sketch anda reflection of what the Universal Brotherhood of Man means? Have you not heard and been talking about the Universal Brother- hood of Man?" Then understand the Brotherhood of Man when the Brotherhood of Man shall have been Universalized, in other words Universally established it ‘ -. » ~\.\-.4, _. , g V :5.’-x. _ ,.:.‘::~.‘_w__W’:_ ‘, - :~\' ’ . ;,., ml p‘ 7 / will be oneibig family, will it not? All of the*pc0p_le of the earth and nations, languages, tongues and peo- ples, will be Uniﬁed together, and there will be but one FAMILY,——the FAMILY of GOD,—and but one A PEOPLE, the PEOPLE of GOD! Then it will be just as it is here under My Jurisdiction. Wheresoever I have full DOMINION and Domin- ate or Predominate, the very Spirit of PEACE will have access with all the people of the earth, and there will be no more sickness and no more death when all man- kind shall have denied themselves and brought them- selves into subjection to the CHRIST as Exempliﬁed among you. Just look at the HARMONY existing in this Auditorium, in this Dining Room whichever, and the way it will be continually as you bring your bodies into subjection and continue to live Evangelically! I‘ thank you- Now just before I make My seeming conclusion I wish to say again, one of the Messages will be read from Friday, August 27th. In the meantime I wish to say, for the children’s sake especially, we will have movies free for all tonight. Aren’t you glad? ("Thank You FATHER!” shouted many voices.) As a free gift to the world, gratis to mankind I came! I am just making My Way into the freedom of expression. After a while everything connected with Me will b-e the expression of real freedom such as I have so freely given. I Thank you. ' BUSINESS NOTES . Ontario Hydro Serves Thousand Cities The Ontario Hydro (publicly-owned power produc- tion enterprise) is the largest concern of its “kind inthe world. It is the third biggest business in Canada, sur- passed only by the Canadian National and Canadian Pa- ciﬁc Railways. As a result of public ownership of power utilities Ottawa “has -the lowest rate per kilowatt hour in the world.” Labor Cost in Manufacture Very Low If the low-wage employees in certain,American fac- ' tories were eager to get a 100 per cent increase in wages, the cost of producing a ﬁfteen-cent product would be in- creased only eight-tenths of one cent. This is one of many facts revealed by the “census of manufacturers,” conducted by the U. 8. Dept. of Commerce. Labor costs in typical industries follow: Sugar reﬁning 3.7 per cent; cigars and cigarettes 5.4; meat packing 5.8; food 8.4; automobiles 9.1; paper 15.5; rubber tires 17.5; printing 19.1; bakeries 20.1; iron -and steel 20.6; textiles 22.6; machinery 23.9; and shoes 26.6. _ Thou who hast given me eyes to see And love this sight so fair, Give me a heart to ﬁnd out thee, And read Thee everywhere.—Keble.~ ‘gr; IFGOD COULD NOT BE GOD IN THE MOST INSIGNIFICANT .

Time: |_2;45—AHer Midnight A delightful day had been enjoyed by one and all at Divine Greenkill Park, and again the thousands who entered the Promised Land for the two—day Boat Out- ing were assembled in the great Banquet Hall. Asia special feature of the evening; movies of a previous Boat Excursion had been shown in the large Auditorium, and ‘I now to climax the day, a delicious Banquet was being served by the BLESSOR of all mankind, our. SWEET, FATHER DIVINE! The orchestra played throughout the serving of the Banquet, and when all had well dined, FATHER rose to Personally offer His invited guests and visitors the privilege of expressing themselves, if they wished to, _ but with thousands of .hearts yearning for the Precious Words of Life and Spirit from the Fount of His Om- niscience, FATHER graciously condescended to Bless all with a Beautiful little Message. “Today is the Day of Salvation; today is the Day of Grace!” These are the words of the Scripture, and yet for cen- turies and centuries man has continued to look to the future for his salvation, expecting to be saved after‘ ’ death when it is too late. ‘ “Now is the time of the future, and now is the Day of Redemption!" says FATHER in this short but Dy- namic Message. FATHER, WE THANK THEE’. Father speaks as follows: . PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace, FATHER!” voiced the vast assembly.) RIGHTEOUSNES-S, ]USTICE and TRUTH, with GOOD HEALTH, GOOD WILL and a ‘~GOOD‘APPETIT'E, in the hearts andlives of each and all of us, GOOD MANNERS and GOOD BE- HAVIOUR! By this our hearts are f1lled.with enthusi- asm. We'are expressing the ecstacy of the LOVE of GOD and the jOY thereof, for we are now in this Glory prepared before the Foundation of “the world, and we are enjoying the Glory, yea the Glo-Rays of your GOD! _ It is a Wonderful privilege to o-bs-erve the different inventions of thechemical world of expression. Let us I . , . ' retrace our thoughts back to radio and see how such a light of an expression can be materially manifest and mankind can observe it with his physical sight~that light by the invention of radio. If we compare the light to the Light and see the reality of "the Light that Lighteth every man that cometh into the world,” you can see, “Of all of His Fullness have all we received Grace for Grace.” "Just Like This All Over the World" ' just look over this vast audience! I need not speak in Words! I have not yet Spoken . . .. I will Speak after a while! In the actuated Words of My Expression I still may be stammering, but aftera while the actuated Words of Expression will be Positive, Accurate and Intelligent; without any stumbling or. stammering. Then I say, I have not done anything yet to what I will do! This is not a percent of a fraction of a grain of a percent of what GOD will do Universally for all mankind, as well as what He has actually done for you. ' There are many things I could say, but as I often say, you delight in hearing Me speak, but permit Me to speak in Deeds and permit Me to speak in Truth, that are facts and figures too stout to be denied. If I speak in Words only, I may not have the facts and figures there, but when I speak in Actions and ‘in! Deeds, I have both the facts and the ﬁgures that all mankindmight plainly see. Oh it is a privilege to realize it! Hence, as you see» this vast audience merely sitting down, a good many of us, eating dinner or supper whichever it is, just a matter of course such as it will be the Universe over after a while. Now aren't you glad! (“So glad, LORD!” promptly came the assur- ance.) Did I not say in Sayville about eight or ten years ago, “I. shall have it just like this all over the world .7" «As GOD is OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT and OM'NI-PRESENT, GOD can and will express Himself OMNI-PRESENTLY, ACCURATELY and PER- FECTLY, th_at there will be no deviation in the“places. where I have not gone with My Feet to that where I Am PERSONALLY! Aren't you glad! That Is Why GOD is GOD! ' That is why’ GOD is OMNIPOTENT! That is why GOD is OMNIS-CIENT! That is why GOD is OMNI- PRESENT! . . . because GOD can express as accurately where He is PERSONALLY absent, if He wishes to, as He can and will where He is PERSONALLY PRESENT’! That is why GOD is- GOD! . . . because He is’ GOD in the insignificance of the FLESH! If GOD could not be GOD in the insignificance of the ﬂesh and the most in- signiﬁcant expression of consideration, GOD could not be GOD in reality! The most insigniﬁcant will be the place where GOD can and will express, for ‘where the 22- signiﬁcant is manifested, it is a matter of impossibility for GOD to express Himself Accurately and in His Entirety, for the signiﬁcant is in evidence. The signifi- cant is observable wheresoever the signiﬁcant is actually manifested, but where the signiﬁcantis dispelled ap- parently, then and there GOD can express Accurately, for there is nothing left but the ALMIGHTY! _ ‘,‘Man’s extremity is GOD’S Opportunity!" From every angle -expressible I am extremiating Myself and others, that GOD might have an Opportunity to express accord- ing to His Plan and Purpose,—I mean to say, I am extremiating Myself as a Person, as a Man, that m_an- kind might see and know distinctly Who I Am, by the extremiation of the versions of man,~that the observation and the recognition. of GOD might stand, and you might see the signiﬁcance of His Presence and the Mys- tery of His Majesty! “MAN’S EXTREMITY IS GOD'S OPPORTUNITY!” Aren't you glad? Stirring Up The Nation You can plainly see the most insigniﬁcant has brought to consideration the signiﬁcant of all generations and has caused all of the signiﬁcant to take notice, where they would not have taken notice had not the insigniﬁ- cant been in evidence that the signiﬁcant might be ob- served. Aren't you glad? That is what is stirring up , the nation. You know they wish’ to stop this Unfold- ment, but it is a matter of impossibility! “As High as the Heaven is above the earth, even so high are My Ways ‘above your ways,” says the LORD, “and My I’ Thoughts above your thoughts.” The same Spirit is speaking today! , GOD is both Speaking and Acting accordingly,-that you might see and know there is a reality in concen- tration, and a reality in that which is not observable un- til it is made visible. Even though it is not observed, it is made visible, it is made observable by the conscious conviction and the recognition of the CREATOR as being o‘bservable'., Then, all things are brou ht into outer expression by the great CREATOR through the Creative Forces of Nature! Every desirable Blessing will eventu- ally become to be an abstract and also an open expression for all mankind. Those who are not worthy to inherit these limitless Blessings we are no-w enjoying, they will be cut off of the stage of action, for everydead branch in the fulﬁlment of the Gospel, shall be cut off,--every branch which brings not forth fruit! Can you not see the Scripture is actually fulﬁlled? (“Yes,~FATHER!” shouted many voices.) "Everything -Works Better and Better" I need not say more at this particular juncture, for there are visiting friends with us at this great Me- morial, a Day to be remembered, a future Historical Day . . . Aren’t you glad? . . . whenthe Spirit of My Presence and the Presence of My Spirit, as a free Gift to the world, gratis to mankind, made a launch out into the ﬁeld of endeavor to do for the general. public among _the children, such as had not been considered generally. As I said, this is not something that will merely be done \ . N this time and nothing betterito corrie,-—-we loiok forvjrard for things to- work better and better. Aren't you glad? You have heard the old familiar song: “Yield not to temptation, For yielding is sin, y _ Each victory will help’ you, Some other to win.” This Victory in the outward expression of SUCCESS and PROSPERITY in our endeavors and other expres- sions in the act of our duty, it is convincing andit ‘is ac- tually telling you what we will do Universally after we have done what we have today. Aren.’t yo-u glad?...... Bringing all_nations, languages, tongues and people!to- gether, Unifying them as one man at Jerusalem! Aren't you glad? I I The reality of the actuated prediction of Abraham in the act of his duty conquering his own will, yet as a pre- diction in his act of so doing, of what all mankind will do when they bring themselves into subjection to the CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS. They will conquer their own will and be willing to- deny themselves and bring their bodies into subjection! Hence, when one is con- quered as an individual, all others in that category and in that state of consciousness are conquered with him. Abraham conquered his own will as an individual, but ‘bespeaking the conquering of all mankind‘ in that state" of consciousness. All mankind through obedience to GOD will be conquered in especially their will and the will of GOD will be done in them, for their wills shall be done away with. GOD is a Living Reality If you retrace your thoughts back, you can recall no doubt you have heard many of the religious world say in prayer, “LORD, do away with my will, but let Your Will! be done.”_ Can you not see thisis the most actuated answer to! prayer in the fulﬁlment of the Scripture.;y"oLt, ever heard? Why? Because every’ prayer you have prayed, you can see your prayers are answered here,--if not for yourself as an individual‘, you can see someone, and a good many‘ individuals, are the fulﬁllers. It is a privilege to realize it! _ .i- A 1 Then I say, you can speak in actions and you will speaking when you listen and look and observe the tery, for MY ACTUAL PRESENCE and ACTIVITIES ' will reveal it. It is telling you things that werepredicted, and it is revealing the Mystery scientiﬁcally, that man- kind in the present and in the future might understand it. GOD is no longer something imaginary, but GOD is a Living Reality!” Truly might have One said: "GOD is not a GOD afar off.” If this had not been a thought according to the mortal versions, the prediction would not have come forth by Inspiration: _ 3 "GOD is not a GOD afar off, ‘but GOD is a GOD at hand." , Someone had thought it and someone had s,aid,it,-- GOD was far above the blue ether. Then came forth by Inspiration the Spirit o-f prediction: "GOD is not a GOD afar off, \ _ but GOD is a GOD at hand.” Aren’t youvglad? ("So glad, FATHER!” conﬁrmed the hearers.) S ‘ Now Is The Day! If GOD is not a GOD afar off, then He must‘ not be INGOD afar off! Aren’t you glad! But what says the Scripture? . “Today is the Day of Salvation; today is the Day of Grace.” /Now is the time of the future, and now is the Day of Redemption! Aren't you glad? ’ ' the Day for-you 't’o!'épen your hear‘ts'‘!‘ ‘ ' l _ _ “Behold I stand at the door and knock; I if any man hear My Voic'e,‘h‘arden‘ not" H your heart." ' l’ " . I The same Spirit is speaking today,_though it did speak through the Ages by prediction and by Inspiration; but GOD through the reiterated prediction and Inspiration is actually speaking as Accurately and Scientiﬁcally as He did in the Beginning! Aren’t you glad! NOW ‘isthel Day, ror*1 AM KNOCKING! Now is ‘ I need not say more,—I am refraining from speaking just now,—I am giving space and place for our visiting‘ friends. Those of o-ur visiting friends who have not been here personally before, theynjiay have a word to say. If they have anything to say, we desire to see them as free ' as we are. I thank you. (Dr. Broadman took advantage of this opportunity to ‘speak as ‘ follows) : \ PEACE FATHER! PEACE everybody! I came here today and expected to see a great many things. Much as I ci<pected,vwhat I have already seen in the two or three hours I have been here, has been most amazing to me“; yet when I expressed my amazement to one of the brothers, .~ he‘ remarked to "me, “Brother,” in common parlance, " ‘ "you ain’t seen nothing yet!” So I suppose I am going tosee a great deal more, and now at least I know what to expect. I had not the slightest idea that I was going to see something so perfect, something so super-human.as some of_ the things I h.ave already seen. Indeed this is a Prom- ised ‘Land! And when you talk Garden of Eden, that must have been’ “pikerish’ in comparison! This is in- deed an effort that the world ought to, and undoubtedly in time, will praise. . FATHER spo-ke of words and deeds. I don’t see that _ _ any words are necessary in the presence of such wonder- ' ful deeds and blessings. Why the‘ children of FATHER located here are far better offthan anybody I know of in the City or elsewhere. In the presence of such deeds, words become unnecessary. Words become feeble in- " . deed to anyone who tries-to express himself. As We look around we see hundreds of diners,.~.—-every- A body happy and » joyfu1,——so happy ‘andijoyful that you cannot possibly compare them with a similar" audience in any other Movement or in any other part of theworld. FATHER speaks of a vast audience here. This is nothing to the size of an audience that ought to, and will, greet Himin time to come. (Applause.) The world does not appreciate what is being done here. The world does not associate FATHER DIVINE with the Work such as A is being created here. Somehow they have a very nar- ‘ row conception of FATHER’S Work, but the time will come very soon I am sure, when they will all cry that it is no wonder that to~FATHER’S Children He is GOD! (Mr. Horace Dodge of Los Angeles, California, who recently came to New York to tell his SAVIOUR, FATHER DIVINE, of the remarkable healing he re.--_ ceived through. his mental and spiritual contact with Him, roseat this point to give his outstanding testimony,- which is herewith recorded). PEACE FATHER! I want to thank You,4FATHER, in Your PRESENCE, for the honor of standing here this evening. It is through FATHER that I am not sleep- ing in the silence of death. Half a dozen of the very best physicians that could be secured in the City of Los..An- . geles, California, diagnosed my case and summoned my sister to the bedside and told her to tell me if I had any preparations to make to make them at once, so youcan form a slight idea of the position those physicians pro- nounced me. . They had rolled me out of the ward where I was placed and put me in a room that is called the death room. I told the sister if I was to die to take me to our little home and not let me die in the hospital. She in- sisted that they put me in the ambulance and send me home. ’ A neighbor of, ours who had heard of the grand and " noble work ‘ in which FATHER DIVINE is engaged, came down to our little cottage and invited the sister to accompany her to a Meeting. When I learned that they were going to“ a Meeting of FATHER DIVINE, and I I was supposed to- die, I asked if it was possible to put me in the automobile and take me to this Meeting. That re- quest was carried out and I went to that Meeting. After getting me out of the machine and helping me I into that Meeting, for some unknown cause to the hu- man being, I felt better. Then all things disappeared in less than three weeks, when the noble physicians as it was termed, had operated on me and said it was impos- , sible for me to live with a cancer in the very worst de- , gree-. In order that you might form a slight idea of how my sister was run up to the point that I would die at any moment, she went and bought my grave. In the short time after that one of my able physicians that attended me wrote to the sister to ascertain if I suffered and lin- gered many days after they sent me from the hospital, _ and to please give him the date I died. So you can readily see,‘ I crossed the continent, not that “I doubted a’ single thing which FATHER DIVINE is accomplish-’ ing in this country, but for the honor and pleasure of see- ; ing Him face to face. I thank You.

No. 26 use YOUR wows RIGHTFULLY AND RIGHTLY AND THE RIGHT-USE-NESS OF ALL THINGS WILL BE A LIVING REALITY "OUR FATHER'S MESSAGE" At the Banquet Tab|e—Divine Greenkill Park - The Promised Land — Friday. September IOH1. I937 A. D. F. D. Time: |0:20 P. M. A Masterpiece in Wisdom, Knowledge and Under- standing, is this Enlightening Message delivered at Divine Greenkill Park Friday, September 10th, by the Mighty LORD of HOSTS, and recorded in these pages for the benefit of all. Several lengthy but interesting testimonies preceded FATHER'S Spirited Words, and it was to blast the mind which had taken possession of one of the speakers that FATHER condescended to give a detailed explanation of Righteousness, more appropriately termed ‘Right-use-ness’ of all things generally, and of GOD in particular. The above-mentioned testimony was of the experi- ence of one who had come to the Promised Land, who resented the fact that she could not obtain transporta- tionbecaufse the cars owned by the Followers were at the time being used to accommodate the ‘Home’ chil- dren only. She questioned the privilege of the ‘Home’ children and indicated that she felt she had an equal right to the use of the cars. ' She also said she had been greatly criticized and re- proached by various ones because she had said she was led by the ‘spirit’ to come to the Promised Land and the ‘spirit’ led her to remain. When told that it would be necessary for her to be placed by FATHER Person- ally, she had replied that she had always been guided by the ‘spirit’, that she had never had a Personal inter- view, and that she felt the leading of the ‘spirit’ was sufficient in this case also. Since this misconception of Righteousness, Truth and Justice occasionally manifests itself, and it is a com- mon thing to hear one justify himself or herself for some act by saying it is the leading of the ‘spirit’, the LORD deemed this thought worthy of serious consid- eration, and using this testimony as an example, He rebuked that spirit which lays the responsibility on Him for its acts of self-indulgence and unrighteous- ness. May one and all profit by this Lesson in True Spirit- uality, and in the future more diligently seek the Kingdom of GOD and its ‘Right-use—ness.’ I THANK YOU FATHER FATHER speaks as follows:- PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace,, FAT'HER DEAR!” was the enthusiastic response)‘ Here we all are,-——all of the GOOD, the LIGHT, the LIFE and the UNDER- STANDING, from each and everyone! In the mean- time ‘I request the honor of each and every living crea- ture to permit Me to be you, that you might be Me; but allow Me to be the Better Part of you, better known in the world of slang, or commonly known in the domestic world, as your ‘Better Half.’ Whilst sitting and listening to the different testi- monies, I thought of how marvelous it is to be lifted from materialism, from mortality and the mortal ver- ‘ sions, and to live in the consciousness of GOD’S ACT- UAL PRESENCE, where the Fount of GOD’S OMNI- SCIENCE is flowing free for each and all of His Peo- ple, where men no longer need to walk in darkness for the LIGHT has truly come, and the LIGHT of TRUTH has risen upon you. This LIGHT, of Whom you say I AM, will Light up your misunderstanding anu c.ause you to be alert mentally, spiritually and other- wise, and will cause you to walk in the Light of the Living, allowing My Spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, to be your Guide. "From Everlasting to Everlasting Thou Art GOD" Oh, how glorious it is to know GOD in the midst of you is mighty to save,——ALL—WISE, EVER-LAST- ING! “From EVER-LASTING to EVER-LASTING Thou art GOD,” I heard one say, “and in endless years the same.” For this cause I have arisen, for the very self-same purpose I came,—-'-to bring to you the realiza- ,,' .-. , J. 4 frag DAY tion of GOD as TANGIBILATED, as He has been in- . visibilated. That which was invisible, that which was intangible, has been made REAL, TANGIBLE and PRACTICAL, that you might realize that which you merely surmised at one time, and no longer live in the " world of supposition, neither the world of your human imagination, nor in the world of the mortalversions of men, but live in the conscious recognition and the. realization of GOD’S ACTUAL TANGIBILATED life substance ‘ PRESENCE, as the REDEEMER of all that is made visible to the children of men. Firstly, ‘I wish to say,» "In the Beginning was the WORD, ‘and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD.” It was invisible in the Begin- ning, but when you realized the Truth concerning the Mystery, the invisibilization of GOD'S Creation was a reality,—for it was merely imaginary in the Beginning until GOD visibilated His Creation by speaking into appearance and into existence that which He Created, by TANGIBILATING His Creation in a great meas- , ure, and allowing that which was invisible to no longer be invisible but that it might be made visible, real, tangible and practical, and become to be as a Living Factor in the consideration of the children of men living on the earth plane. "Let Dry Land Appear" Even the earth itself was void and without form,—iti was invisible! So long as it was invisible, it was in- tangible it is true,—naturally you know that,—but whilst being invisible and intangible, it was also im- practical, unprofitable and it was good-for-nothing. So long as it was in the imaginary state of expression and having not appeared, it was essential for GOD to speak into existence the visibilization or outer expression that which He Created by His own Majesty. By this, GOD being invisible Himself, merely as SPIRIT moving out upon the face of the deep, said: “Let dry land appear.” As He said, “Let there be light,” ‘and there was light, dry land appeared coming forth into expression, and mankind coming to the conscious realization and the recognition of visible things and of the invisible things they imagined, then when GOD formed man out of the dust of the ground that He had formed by the,Spirit of His Mind and brought into outer expression that man- kind might be a reality, as He made the earth real, tan- gible and practical, He formed man out of the dust of the ground, making visible that invisible man, that man might no longer be invisible any more than the earth was invisible any longer after it appeared and after it was made tangible, according to the Scripture that man might be like unto that which he was formed out of. A But this was not all, there was another expression to come forth and another unfoldment which would con- vince the conscious mentality of man, as he was visible, that GOD was a reality, by GOD Tangibilating 01' Ma- terializing HIMSELF! , C ¢-:4..~‘.. .... .,_.-- ..._-*-._.--....... .. - :.«--’»..e. 4.» .. .. "Of His Fullness Grace for Grace" - Therefore, the WORD °was made FLESH! the WORD was made FLESH and dwelt among us, one declared: "We beheld His Glory as the Glory of the only Begotten of the FATHER.” The only thing that was Begotten was that which was made FLESH, made REAL, TANGIBLE and PRACTICAL, and by such a recognition and by such a realization, "We beheld His Glory as the Glory of the only Begotten of the FATHER, full of Grace and of Truth,” and by behold- ing such an Unfoldment of GOD’S Majesty and yet Mercy, we find, “of all of His Fullness have all we re- ceived, Grace for Grace!” It is a privilege to receive of the Fullness of GOD, as GOD brings forth to fruition in your consideration His Fullness. As you observe the Fullness of GOD in an- other, it is reproducible, reincarnatable and re-material- ‘izable, because it is transmittible and it Carries within itself the same properties of the Creative Forces of‘Na-' ture that the Spirit carried within itself in the Begin- ning when it said, "Let dry land appear.” - So GOD makes visible invisible things that yo might enjoy the invisible realm, by GOD bringing those things down from your imaginary concept of things to the earth plane, that you as thepchildren of men, might come into possession of your rightful in- heritance of spiritual things that were hid from the view of man. Aren’t you glad! (“So glad, LORD !7’ confirmed the hearers.) There is where even science and invention and composition and other expressions from the invisible realm come forth into expression for the benefit, the comfort and convenience of the inhabi- tants of the earth that are living on the material plane, that they might nolonger be away from the invisible world, but that the invisible world might be one with" them, by the invisible world becoming to be spiritual- ized and the invisible world materialized. "I pray thatthey may be one, even as We are One.” Mortality Is The Mortal Concept of Things The invisible and the visible shall be made REAL, shall be UNIFIED together Universally, and all of the conscious mentality of humanity shall eventually recog- nize the Tangibilization of the CREATOR and the Spiritualization of mortality, or humanity whichever. That which is termed mortality will be put off, in other words mortality in reality will be put off,—will be put off of your visible bodies. That which you class to be mortality is your physical body, but it is not mortal. Mortality is the mortal concept of things! It is invisi- ble even as the earth was invisible in the Beginning, saving as it is made visible by the mortal concept of men. But what says the Spirit? “Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” GOD, through His Condescension, will make that body thatwas made mortal by the mortal concept of men, ‘rue-..-:...... ‘I-..a.«--..,<3.¢. » September _ When _ away-o-,>~.~.',,,___‘,___»’4.V“'_ I geptemsee -1,6 spiritual by the spiritual concept of them! Aren’t you glad! You are transformed by the renewing of your mind! You are now putting off mortality and putting on IMMORTALITY, by putting off the mortal con- cept of things and putting on the IMMORTAL con- cept of them, that GOD might express PERFECTLY from His Heavenly state of expression, and that that which is mortal and corruptible might be made IM- MORTAL and INCORRUPTIBLE, PURIFIED, made white and then tried! Take on the Mind! of Christ Through My Condescension to call on you and to call you to your consideration that you might stop and '. consider the Mystery of -GOD’S PRESENCE. and UNI- FY yourselves with your MAKER, by this millions are lifted from mortality to IMMORTAL.ITY and shall live with GOD, with Victory over the mortal concept of things, for as it is written: I beesech ye therefore, .brethren, by the Mercies of GOD, that ye present your bodies as living sacrifices wholly, which is your rea- sonable service, and be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.’' 9 When mankind is transformed by the renewing of their minds, then and there they will become to be new creatures, for they will put off mortality and put on IMMORTALITY, for mortality is not visible nor ma- terial saving as it is visibilated through the mortal con- cept of those who are mortal minded. When you think spiritually and live it and express it accurately, the time will come when you will be as was with Enoch when he walked and talked with GOD until he was no more. , When you are no more, your mortality cannot be iden- tified in you and you cannot be identified by your mor- tality,—that of which you did have on,—-for you shall have taken on themind of CHRIS-T in Whom you should live! Discern Between Righteousness and Seltishness We speak of RIGHTEOUSNESS, we speak of TRUTH and we speak of JUSTICE,—I wish to say thereare those of whom claim or pretend to be My Followers, who do not know what RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE actually mean. - RIGHTEOUS- NESS,- TRUTH and JUSTICE mean the ‘RIGHT-USE NESS’ of whatsoever you may do and whatsoever you may be doing, and whatsoever you may say. Use your words Rightfully and Rightly, and the RIGHT-USE- NESS of all things will be a livingireality, when RIGHTEOUSNESS shall have been rightfully in you established. I heard one sister speak over there a little while ago, I concerning RIGHTEOUSNESS, and especially stress- ing RIGHTEOUSNESS. RIGHTEOUSNESS means doing right, doing just and being true! It does not mean selfishness, the expression of the sister there, of whose name I bear no record of but you all know of tr"h‘e»NEwe1j»;A;,)ra so whom I am speaking and she knows who I am speak- ing of,——she knows within herself such an expression and such a version ‘of such a person is an expression of selﬁshness instead of RIGHTEOUSNESS! Can you not discern between RIGHTEOUSNESS and selfish- ness? JESUS, the great LOVE MASTER, as a Person, was an outward Expresser of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and of JUSTICE, by teaching the people accurately the Way of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and how to do it, how to be it and how to live it by doing that which was Just and Right in the sight of both GOD and of man. “Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.” _ Your version may lead youlit is right for you to take that which is termed another man's goods, ‘but such an expression is unrighteousness, according to My Version! Give A” An Equal Opportunity As I wrote to Mr. Huey Long when he was living, I stressed the RIGHTEOUS ‘GOVERNMENT PLAT- FORM and requested the honor of himself as an Offi- . cial to support it and to support My Effort in bringing about an equitable adjustment of an equal opportunity, but not so much of sharing the wealth unrighteously. I am not asking any man to give Me, not one of My Fol- lowers, one of their dollars! Give them an OPPOR- TUNITY, an EQUAL opportunity, as you have and as others have, and I will see to it that they will rise above that which would tend to cast them down! An EQUAL OPPORTUNITY is what I request! I am not request- ing the sharing of the wealth, but give Me and all of the inhabitants of the earth an EQUAL opportunity,——- give them an equal opportunity and theycan by My Spirit and by My Mind do the rest! That is what I am talking about! How selfish it would be if I felt as if though I should take the wealth of some wealthy person because he hap- pens to be fortunate, or even unfortunate enough, to have accumulated wealth! If I desired to take that wealth from them, that in itself would be an expression of unrighteousness instead of RIGHTEOUSNESS, It would be an expression of selfishness, and My Acts and - My Endeavors would be working selfishly for a selfish purpose, which would not be according to RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, this PLATFORM upon which we stand. That is why men do not wish for Me to stand as I Stand, for I am tearing down their playhouse,,——they can no longer live in unrighteousness and selfishness, in graft and in greed, covetousness and jealousy, to under- mine another out of that which they may have in their possession, because of selﬁshness. No longer will this be, but you may start where you are, and if you do not even so much as have one penny, inside of twelve months,——if you live according to My Teaching,—you will have a full and a plenty! , 3' A ‘_,r.

Jesus the Way-Shower to Righteousness That is what I am talking about!. . .RIGHTEOUS- NESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE!. . .and JESUS was the WAY-SHOWER to RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and did not seek to take the advantage of the public not other individuals because of His Peace Mis- sion nor because of His Religion. That is what I am talking about! That is why My Followers, to the ex- treme reverse of taking someone else's automobile as that sister wanted to do, to the extreme reverse -of doing such unjust acts and unjust deeds, they will pay all of their old bills and will pay for all the things they have stolen, and even pay for the rides they stoleon the trains in the early days of yore. That is whatl am talking about! _ _,_, J Can you not see how far that is from these My real Followers’ Teaching, when there are those of _My Fol- lowers returning to the railroad companies,——these com- panies which own millions and billions of dollars in stocks and bonds and are worth even more than I have described,—yet they are returning to them from a one- dollar ride up to a fifty-dollar ride, when they rode on the train maybe twenty, thirty or fifty years ago. Now here comes one saying she has a right, the spirit tells her to take your car, or someone’s car and use it. RIGHT-_ EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE! . . . when you know ! ,what RIGHTEOUSNESS is, you will deal Justly be- tween yourself and your fellow brother and every other person. That is what I am talking about! Instead of trying to take advantage of another, you will deny your- self! Just think of it! Walking In HIS Footsteps There was a time when I would no-t even ride on the train or in an automobile if a person would give Me a ride, and that is an expression of Me,——that is the way you can tell whether you are following Me,—by- walk- ing in the Footsteps I have walked in and going the Way I have gone! A child is not just like his father. . . a child is not just like his mother! The child should be as his mother has been, and should be as his father has been, but not as they are now! You have never seen a new-born child that looked just like his father and mother in reality! They may resemble them, but I mean they cannot be, and you cannot expect them to do, just as the father and mother are actually doing, but they should do as they have done. A man came to My Office in the City once,——he was filled with so much Joy and Enthusiasm, and, as I told the Secretaries, I said I must refrain from speaking be- cause I can see My Pre-expressed Self in him and I can- not condemn him. He said he had‘ gone to California and back and would nbt accept of a ride, and said he was on his way down south to payup some old bills he owed whe-re he had stolen goods and purchased merchandise and refused to pay for them years and years ago.

The Act of My Doing had been reincarnated and he was My Expression of My Pre-experience and My Pre-actions on the way to bring you this Salvation of which you all are now enjoying!

Do you not think such an expr"‘e‘ss’ion and such an actuated word and words of expression’ were more expressible and desirable ‘ than if he would have come saying, “I am going to take this automobile because it belongs to GOD and the spirit said for me to take it and I am going to ride,” or, "I am going to do this, that and the other.” Do you think such an expression would be an expression of RIGHT- EOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE? Far be it from your consideration! I came to bring to fruition the Perfec- tion of RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE, and I to express it accurately in these, My Followers! Those of My True Followers will express it accur- ately, even as I express it, but they will not go to the ’ extreme reverse to- RIGHTEOUSNESS and to‘ TRUTH and to JUSTICE and do something co-o-perative or in co-operation with those who are of the underworld, holding up men, robbing them and doing that which is commonly known by the Religions as unrighteous, un- just and untrue! We shall express the TRUTH of GOD from a per- sonal point of view so convincing and so scientific, those of the critics will be obliged to believe in the Mystery and recognize your LORD, yo»ur.GOD and your SAV- IOUR! I will speak in their language and they will understand it, for I will speak the Words of what they call honesty. . .I will speak the Words of what they call competence. . .1 will speak the Words of what they call truth, and I will express Myself in the ~'Act of dealing Justly between man and man so accurately until they will be obliged to say, “LORD, I believe!. . .LORD, I under- stand!” The Resurrection and The Lite Take these Thoughts to consideration and live in this recognition, and build upon this Foundation and you will not have an occasion to fret not worry, neither to stumble, for I, the LORD your GOD, will be with you and will be your HELPER, for I have declared by the Spirit, I Am your COMFORTER! ' How marvelous it will be when selfishness, graft and greed, shall have been completely purged from these people, the inhabitants of the earth, and when they are quickened or inspired by Inspiration they will not be led into selfishness not into self-indulgence, for such ex- pressions at times come through and by the Inspiration of the spirit and they may think it is Me,-—BUT I SAY ‘K < E, l K . ~,"r—~.‘(§’<~ ., ~,- - -«v-~ ‘e 9: r '1 . _’ Septemger T6 curately in the way of selfishness. IT IS':THEM! Why does such come by the spirit’? It is’. because I AM the RESURRECTION and the LIFE! . . .I will QUICKEN your own mind, your own desires and your own fancies, tendencies and pleasures, and by your quickened and awakened]consciousness, your desires will be put forth into expression by Inspiration and you will move volitionally at times beyond your personal control and you will declare it is Me, but I WILL SAY IT IS YOU! Why is it that I have declared this of which I Am now about to say? "Be ye transformed by the RENEWING of your mind!”. . .for' the seed idea in the soil of your soul will be quickened by the Spirit of My Presence, for GOD causes the rain to.fall on the unjust and also the just; therefore an unjust mind will be quickened and be inspired to do according to _his_ ,.own version and, his own self-indulgence, and you will t,hin_k, it is My Spirit and My Mind. . . I "Let It Be My Mind" The question came up the other day, I think it was last night,—"Why is it, or how is it, that one will do that and they say they have FATHER’S Spirit?” I said, "You may take your automobile and go‘ to a gas station and get some gasoline from the same tank and the same pump you have been getting it, and go in any direction you wish to- go with it!” That is your privilege. It is not the gasoline!. . .it may be the very same gasoline, , but it is not the same mind carrying your car in the di- rection you are now going, in the way you have not gone. You may say it is MY Spirit,—well, if you say it is MY Spirit, let it be MY mind, if you please! You can take your automobile and fill it with the best‘ gasoline in the State and go in one direction to the extreme re- verse direction from the way you have been going,-—in ‘other words you may go in one direction to save the lives of the children of men, and another may take the same gasoline and the same year and make of car and go in another direction to destroy the lives of the children of men,——yet each car may be using the same gasoline! _Aren't you glad! That is why it is essential that each individual be transformed by the RENEWING of his or her mind, for unless you are transformed by the RENEWING of your mind, the Adamic state of consciousness will cause you to die and suffer much before you do die at times. "In Adam all die, so shall in JESUS CHRIST all be made alive!” . .one having a mind of selfishness and the other hav- ing a mind of Justice.

By you being transformed by the renewing of your, mind and putting off all selfishness, all graft and all greed and every selfish tendency and expression, every human fancy and mortal pleasure, then and there GOD Can; and will abundantly Bless you, and naught will be able to harm you nor hurt you. How marvelous it is to dwell in the ACTUAL PRES- ENCE of GOD, where GOD HIMSELF is always at -- Home and with you at all times!. . .where the Spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS, the Spirit of TRUTH and the Spirit of JUSTICE,‘ they are all put into expression, and each of us can work’scientifically and accurately with them, without criticism. That is why My Followers LOVE Me so!. . .because '-the old man is dead,——he never did live in this world in which I AM !——he only lived in the mor- tal world of expression, but not in the IMMORTAL one. The Right-Useful-ness of GOD Build upon this Foundation,—you will not have an occasion to fret not worry, but you can “Rejoice in the LORD always, and again I say rejoice!” GOD is your REFUGE and your STRENGTH! GOD is your HELP in e-very need, and you have declared that ONE is ME! When we speak of RIGHTEOUSNESS, when we speak of TRUTH and when we speak of ]USTICE,—— I am talking about DOING RIGHT, when I say RIGHT- EOUSNESS! That means DOING RIGHT according to what man calls rightness,—at least as much rightness in your actions and in your deeds as man calls rightness,— and RIGHTEOUSNESS, the "RIGHT-USE-NESS” of whatsoever you may do or be!. . .know how to USE yourself and use everything else RIGHTEOUSLY! That is the Mystery! "First, seek ye the Kingdom of GOD and His (‘RIGHT-USE-NESS’ or) Righteousness.” You can put this in parenthesis, if you wish to, for the future Gener- ation,——-His ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS’—the RIGHT USE of everything! . . and when you shall have found the Kingdom of GOD and the ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS7 of it, then and there GOD will give you possession of a great part of it. Why will you get so much of it? It is because you will know what to do with it! That is what you A are seeking, although you may not understand it. . seek- ing the Kingdom of GOD and His ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS’ ——the RIGHT USE of all things that pertain to the Kingdom‘ of GOD and the ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS’ of GOD! . . . the ‘RIGHT-USEFUL-NESS’ of Goo! Do you not see the Mystery? (Yes, FATHER, we do!” shouted the listeners.) Use GOD tor the Good of Others Why should you want GOD, to use GOD unright- fully? “First seek ye the Kingdom of GOD and His ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS’.'. .not only the KINGDOM, b-ut .~...a-'_...._—~ ...__..,,)_. _.._ ps ‘The NEW/’DAY even GOD !. . .seek GOD and His ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS’! What do you want to use GOD for?. . .KNOW what you want to USE Him for! Use Him for an unselﬁsh purpose!. . .use Him for the good of others! By using GOD for an unselfish purpose and altogether for the good of others, then and there you are expressing the ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS’ of GOD HIMSELF, and you can use Him scientifically. That is the Mystery! Aren’t you glad! Just take that, seek the Kingdom of GOD and His ‘RIGHT-USE—NESS’! \‘(/hat do you want to use GOD for? “I want to use Him for the RIGHT thing!....... that is what I want GOD for,——I want to know how to RIGHTFULLY use Him, instead of using Him ,unright- fully or wrongfully,—let me use Him RIGHTFULLY; then I am expressing the ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS’ of GOD , and I know how to use Him, and I will use Him unself- ishly. . .therefore to Me GOD will be a Blessing and a Blessing to others!” That is the Mystery. You can use GOD for everything necessary, but you must use Him RIGHTEOUSLY and unselfishly and get the concept of the ‘RIGHT-USE—NESS-’ of GOD, and GOD will express Himself accurately in you and in your endeavors, and will be to you your real FAITHFUL and OBEDIENT SERVANT! That is the Mystery! You never hadwa better Servant than GOD! You never had a more Faithful Servant, but get the ‘RIGHT-USE—NESS’ of GOD, and learn what you want to use Him for, and use Him RIGHTFULLY and ACCURATELY, scienti- fically, unselfishly and GODLY, and GOD will allow you to use Him as much as you please. Lei GOD Be Your Real Servant The invention of electricity is a parable concerning the Mystery! Just think of electricity being man's most faithful servant! He is used,—~I mean Electricity in used,-——in millions of ways of expression; therefore he is a true and a faithful servant,——I mean ELECTRI- CITY! He is a parable of ‘MR.’ GOD. (Laughter and applause.) Edison was one among many who sought the world of science and invention and the invention of electricity and its ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS,’ and he invented many in- ventions to cause electricity to'be mankind's servant. Aren't you glad! Therefore, he actually won the Mys- tery,——at least he was successful, he succeeded in his en- deavors,—by seeking the world of science and invention and the ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS’ of electricity; therefore he invented many inventions that are connected with it. Then I say, seek GOD and His Kingdom as Edison sought the world of science in this Light of Civilization of both science and invention and the 'RIGHT—USE- NESS’ of electricity, and he invented many inventions connected with it that would cause mankind to- have a faithful servant. Even so have I brought to the surface the Mystery of the ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS‘ of your LSAVIOUR, the ‘RIGHT-USE-NESS’ of GOD and of His ‘ ‘ September, 16 Work and of His Mission among. the nations. Now and here, henceforth and forever, you will have a faithful servant, if you will but let GOD be your real Servant by" '‘ knowing HOW to use Him RIGHTFULLY and RIGHTEOUSLY. "I thank you. . Oh, it is a privilege to know the TRUTH! . . . to be where GOD is at all times! Wheresoever GOD is, there is always WISDOM, there is always WISDOM, KNOW/LEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, and always INSPIRATIONS and REVELATIONS, and always IN- FORMATION coming scientifically, far beyond your reason to think and to ask. For this cause you all should rejoice and be exceedingly glad. You need not have a thought about a book, or anything of that kind, when you know you are with and within GOD! GOD is ALL WIS-DOM, ALL KNOWLEDGE and ALL UNDER- STANDING, and this is the Fount of GOD'S OMNI- SCIENCE flowing free for each and allof His People, if they will but I-IARMONIZE with Him. By so doing, they will be drawing from the Fount of his OMNISCI- ENCE I thank you. FATHER DEAREST, I TRULY THANK YOU. ——Finis—— SIDE-LIGHTS OF THE BOAT EXCURSION Among the interesting sidelights of the two-day boat excursion were the diversiﬁed activities of the children observed both on ‘board the “City of Keansb-urg” and in the Promised Land. One sister arrived at the boat on a lady’s bicycle which she brought on board with her, evi- dently to ride about the various scenic roadways in and around the Divine Greenkill Park. On the carrier on the rear-of the bicycle she had tied a large bundle of live Rose-of-Sharon shrubs and others which she was carrying to the Promised Land to plant. One young brother carried his kite and the top deck made an excellent place from which to launch it in the rive'r breeze. It could be seen towed and soaring high above the boat most of the way to Kingston. Many children have become camera enthusiasts and. scores can be seen with various types of improved photo- graphic equipment. A few had motion picture machines. Besides taking frequent unsuspected shots of groups of angels in a jovial mood, they are always on the lookput, hoping to get what was in former years a rarity—that i‘s, permission and opportunity for a good view to get a choice snap of FATHER Himself. Several musical groups distributed themselves about the various decks to provide plenty of music forthe singing, dancing and happily shouting throngs. Hi-li bat- ting was a lively activity for some on the upper deck. As on the former boat trip many chose to sleep in the lobby of the Greenkill Hotel, on the veranda, in the large auditorium of the theatre, in the seats of automo- biles and even on the grass in order to enjoy the ex- perience on the consecrated and holy ground of the Land of Eternal Promise.’ , < __~o»v.»v;-»-»\.~ ind 7 _s_ef__;§ten5bei- 16 f ul . A LUXURY PILGRIMAGE TO A MODERN PROMISED LAND‘ An interesting aspect of the marvelous blessings en- joyediby the Followers of FATHER DIVINE which the pilgrims and saints of no other religion in the past ever enjoyed was depicted by Dr. Joseph Broadman, who was FATHER’S guest on the occasion of the latest boat excur- sion to the Promised Land and who spoke at the ban- quest at Greenkill Park on Tuesday, the 31st. He contrasted the entrance into Canaan of the tribes of Israel, led by Moses and joshua, with the followers entering the land on this excursion, pointing out how much more we are blessed today. At that time they had to walk on foot, without any form of modern conven- ience; they had to ﬁght off enemies. which attacked them and even when they arrived they hadino houses to live in, practically no equipment, and had countless obstacles to overcome. He stated that today we travel by modern steamer and ride in the latest limousines and enter a Promised Land where we are met only by loving friends who have antici- pated ourcoming and have prepared to welcome us and serve us and we ﬁnd improved homes, hotels and recrea- tional facilities and a magniﬁcent banquet is prepared for us where we may sing and enjoy ourselves in the greatest of comfort in the company of the angels. The pilgrims and prophets down through the ages could have scarcely imagined anything so wonderful. Dr. Broadman made a point of correcting a misquota- tion in a previous article about him in the New Day which he reputedly made at the 63rd Street forum. He stated’ that FATHER DIVINE’S Movement, just as all movements who do something good and worthwhile for the people, would be attacked on the grounds of radical- ism. He apparently favors progressive radicalism in pref-, . erence to reactionary conservatism. I He said, "All movements which would suppress radi- calism ipso facto, practice or preach racial prejudice and antagonism. What good is the ‘right to work,’ without opportunity to work ?’ ” Dr. Broadman also stated that “radicals had never attempted to suppress freedom of speech, freedom of the press or freedom of assembly in America,” that these are fundamental American prin- ciples and institutions yet they are being attacked right and left by the reactionary and propertied interests . 4 which back the vigilantes. Evidently he had reference to recent threats and attacks made concertedly by individ- uals, organizations or organized groups and the press on FATHER'S activities and the Promised Land. Some have sought to seize property belonging to the children while other forces tried to intimidate by threat and destroy by malicious press propaganda the mighty, invincible trans- forming work which FATHER DIVINE is doing. ABOUT "THE NEW DAY" ;- Since the discontinuance of “The Spoken Word” and “_World Herald," “The New Day” is the only publica- ’. ”',,ThecNEW' DAY 9 tion which regularly carries FATHER DIVINE’S Mes- sages and authenticvnews of the Peace Mission Move- ment. Although “The New Day” was started originally and is still being published by Brother David Kind, who re- sides in the Extension of FATHER DIVINE’S Peace Mission at Astor Street and Avenue C in Newark, N. J., it was at one time considered that this publication was printed under the auspices of one‘ whose testimony has been discredited and who is in no way now connected.- "The New Day” has recently been blessed by the serv- ices of- some who were formerly members of the “Spoken Word” and “World Herald” staffs. They will strive for ' mechanical and literary perfection. Their desire is to be 7 of service to FATHER’S Followers and others in making a practical and valuable publication carrying vital infor- mation and news, especially of the FATHER DIVINE Peace Mission and Righteous Government Movement, not obtainable elsewhere. They will help write its editor- ial content, its instructive and educational articles as well as its inspirational features—all of which makes it have a distinct comm.ercial_val_ue_ and serve as a, proper_chann:el for disseminating FATHER’S superlativefmessag.es;’which are the bread of life and wine of spirit given freely to a starving world. LETTING eon In one of the Peace Mission Extensions the school which had been started in early winter was discontinued in two to three months. A brother who had been attend- ing meetings at this extension for a short time, expressed a desire to be helpful in FATHER’S Work and asked if there were something he could do in the extension. The school was mentioned and the brother agreed to try it al- though he was without any preparation for teaching ‘school subjects except a good education. For the ﬁrst few weeks the class was conducted by an experienced teacher who had consented to help while the brother was learning how to conduct the class. When this arrangement had been in effect a few weeks, the sis- ter said, “I thank FATHER to have you take the work alone now.” The brother felt quite unprepared to do so as yet, but ﬁnally consented to try it. The sense of inability to properly teach the school re- mained until the evening on which he was to lead the class for the ﬁrst time; but on the way to the extension he said: “FATHER, YOU know that I want to do this work to help others, that I am not doing it selﬁshly; and YOU know how unprepared I feel. YOU will have to do the work through me if it is to be successful. I trust in YOU.” He went on freed of the burden on his mind and found the school always enjoyable‘and the pupils ap- preciative. Although it had been forty years since. he was in school, everything needed came to mind readily, be was able to explain problems clearly and the students felt they were advancing in knowledge.

I've been blind for four years and it’s been a struggle for us to get by with times as they are now. I do hope YOU continue the fine work that YOU’RE doing.

My dear Mr. Scillien:—- Your letter of the 25th received, acknowledging pay- ment of $260 by one of MY followers, of which I verify with you that the same would not have been paid, had it not been for this Light and Teaching that I AM advanc- ing in the lives of the Children of Men. With oppressions, suppressions and depressions, with wars, conﬂicts and Political Strife existing in the lives and affairs of men, the world has been in a turmoil, struggling for Peace and Freedom from the hardships thereof. It has been like a Ship without a Rudder——it has been like a Ship without a Compass. Hence, it is for this Cause, that I AM lifting a Stan- dared for men, giving them a Platform and a Program to stand upon, giving them a Compass as a guide to direct them on their way. But this Compass that I speak of, is the Principle of Life that will guide them over rough places and above the limited laws of man. The Voice of the people calls for Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities and Fair Dealing. They call for the Indus- trial and Economical Solution to put an end to the un- desirable and adverse co-nditions existing in the land. They call for a Government that will execute a Righteous judgment‘ for one and all. Hence, the Voice of Righteousness, Justice and Truth, _ through MY Righteous Government Platform stands in answer to the Voice of the people as they call fora Good are bated. Men cm no longer step out into the d9.rl;- Government. And it is by the Standard of the same, that millions today are walking Uprightly, following the Light of this Teaching of True Evangelism, presenting characteristics of Honesty, of Righteousness, of Inde- pendence and of Truth. As men universally and unitedly. stand upon such a Foundation, wars, conﬂicts, oppres- sions, suppressions and depressions shall end and Peace shall cover the Earth. , y W-ith best wishes to you, desiring you to be as I, AM, this leaves ME Ever Well, Healthy, joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Successful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sine-Aw, joint ,limb, vein and bone and even in every atom, ﬁbre and cell of MY Bodily Form.

Father Divine ' New York, New York Dear Father Divine: A short while ago I was very mucl1 surprised to hear . from an old tenant of mine who lived at No. 30 Boyd Street, Newark, N. J. His name is Isaac Lewis. He wrote and asked me to send him a statement of the rent he owed me for the years 1932-1933. He said that he was paying up because of the good influence of Father Di- vine. I investigated the records and wrote and told him how much he owed me. Since that time the debt has been entirely_cleared up. . I am grateful to YOU, Father Divine, for YOUR up- raising of the ethical code of YOUR people. It is a ﬁne piece of work that YOU are doing. — My best wishes for YOUR continued good health and happiness. Your good friend JACOB KUPPERMAN Response From FATHER PEACE _ SEPTEMBER 6, 1937, A. D. F. D. I Mr Jacob Kupperman 5 Shanley’ Avenue Newark, New Jersey My dear Mr. Kupperman:— I have received yours of the 17th of August and ap- preciate the sincerity of your acknowledgment for the debt paid" by Isaac Lewis. . The inﬂux of mail describing the institution of the Spirit and Mind of Righteousness within MY followers continues to pour in, and I AM glad that men witness the positive results of MY Mission, as I set forth in ac- curate ﬁgures, this Principle of Righteousness, Justice and Truth. However, noting that you make mention of a particu- lar people, for whom you declare _I have raisedthe ethical code, I wish to advise and enlighten you concerning the same, asking ﬁrstly, “Who are My people?” replying, My people are the peoples of the Earth. And then I wish to ask, “Is the ethical code of Righteousness, Jus- tice and Truth the Standard of all people and is it por- trayed in the lives of those whom you would term are not MY people?” We know it is not. » Hence, as the whole world has been corrupted by its mortal versions, ideas and opinions, and has placed itself in limitations, depressions and adversities, combating in wars and conﬂicts, I have brought to all humanity the Spirit of God in Righteousness, Justice and Truth. Righteousness is not confined to the religious sense of expression alone, for Righteousness is deﬁnitely, the Right-Use’ness of the Law of Life. It is in itself the L.aw 12 ‘Tlie NEW DAY and Standard for Success, for Peace, for Health and Hap- piness. As menencounter diﬁ‘iculti.es in their lives and affairs, if they will but stand ﬁrmly upon this Principle and Act accordingly, they will be liberated from all hard- ships and limitations, ﬁnding the Value of this Law to be Universal in expression, the Key to any and all prob- lems of life. With sincere wishes to you, this leaves ME as I shall Eternally remain, Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Live- ly, Loving, Successful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, and bone and even in every .atom, ﬁbre and cell of MY Bodily Form. ..

Divine, known as “Father Divine” to his followers in Harlem, the so-and-so section of New York City, and to others interested in his cult, are looked upon as being ludicrous to most intelligent people, his teachings of honesty have worked to the beneﬁt of a local so-and-so citizen. Yesterday C. T. ]ames, an elderly so-and-so man who used to operate a general mercantile store in East Bar- tow, brought a money order for $3.00 into Philip's De- partment store and used it in buying apparel. He ex- plained his orderiwith a letter, part of which is repro- ducediherez "Enclosed you will ﬁnd money order for $3.00, which I think will cover what I owe you. About 23 years ago I stole a summer hat belonging to you. I also gave away some of your crackers and candy, besides what I ate. I think we were paying’ about one dollar for these hats at the time. Since coming in contact with Father Divine all of my sins have been brought before me.” The well written letter is signed by David “Clean- heart,” the name adopted by the conscience-stricken man when he joined the religious organization of which Di- vine is leader.

Rome in which he said: “The politicians give FATHER DIVINE credit for a good work but do not realize what is in HIS people and that HE is GOD for all people.” Speaking of the Promised Land he said, "Truly Heaven is on earth”; and he told his happiness in returning “home” and seeing the Promised Land again, mentioning the re- markable improvements he noticed there after his ab- sence of five months. The great love the West coast Followers bear FATHER although most of them have never seen the Body, was told. The chairman of the Speakers’ Bureau also spoke of the wonders of the Promised Land, saying: “It's just .- GOD!” The Children were advised to attend the meet- ings of the Bure‘au—.Sundays at ﬁve o’clock, 126 West 129th Street, in order to have the advantage of the in- * structions about voting by the new form of ballot made necessary by the recently adopted city charter.‘ The chairwoman of the Educational Department called attention to the reopening of the schools next week. She hoped there would be some among the Fol- lowers who would be qualiﬁed to occupy civil service positions and apply for those to be open this year and next. The Sister thanked FATHER for the "Divine" education and intelligence that lifts us above undesirable conditions. ‘ “Every day I get into a “Divine ﬁght,” one Brother said another had told him. The Brother speaking said; “I thank YOU, FATHER, not to let me" ﬁght with the sword but with the Spirit. YOU know what to do with the people who say YOU are not GOD. I can say to them; Here is my GOD; where is yours? My GOD came and gave me a hundred-mile trip for one dollar and meals for 10 and 15 cents. My GOD has given me all these things; what has your GOD done for you? I _can go and come because FATHER DIVINE has set me free. I am going to run this race with patience.” I About 10 o'clock FATHER’S arrival caused the usual demonstration and after listening to the other speakers HE delivered a Message of Power which we hope may be recorded.

Many of the social and economic sorrows of this and other countries are traceable to the lust for power and to the greed for gold that culminated in the Great World War and in this depression which, from an economic angle, was primarily caused by the present bad ﬁnancial system, which is contrary to the Spirit of a. Righteous Government. The Money Planks of the Righteous Government Platform of Father Divine not only condemn, but are also calculated to correct the whole system of the un- righteous concentration of wealth by a few and the unjust practice of usury, high interest rates and bond- ing debts, and to give to the world the only Righteous Legislation that shall cure the evils of all economic problems. 1 Moreover, under this Divine'Plan, the intolerable abuses of the banking methods,\whereby banks are per- mitted to issue billions upon billions of dollars of credit money which they create by a mere stroke of the pen, will be eliminated. ‘CHILD RAISED FROM THE DEAD CARCROSS, Yukon Territory, Canada, July 21st, 1936. Dear Brethren: Peace be unto you. We do appreciate the kindly interest you take in the welfare of Father’s Children up here in the Yukon. Yes, indeed, there is something to tell you. A brother and sister have come in here and testiﬁed how, last winter, their child was RAISED FROM THE DEAD by calling on the Name of Father Divine. Had this happened in a town or city, or amongst those of a supposedly different race, it would have been blazon- .. *‘ s~‘.Sg+:v_.'.g. __y_ _-_a. ,.,r,. _._ .._ The NEW‘ DAY ‘I . ' ' ii '13 ed on the front page of every newspaper in the world. But because it happened among the meek and lowly, in a sparsely inhabited region, we are only now hearing of it. Not only have we the earnest statement of the bro-ther and sister themselves, but they testify that there were a number ,.of other persons present who were eye-witnesses to the miracle. Also a young woman from Whitehorse, testiﬁed at a meeting here, saying, “Yes, I know what they say is true. People were talking about it all over Whitehorse.” It happened about the end of the winter, or beginning of spring; the weather was still cold. I dont know what ailed the child, but he died,~——a little lad of four. The daddy was out hunting when the child died, but soon returned. The child had been dead three hours. The friends and relatives were already gathered around, weeping anrinouriiing. All but the mother—-she did not cry. She knew that The GREAT PHYSICIAN Him- self was there, regardless of appearances, and she never once lost faith. The little form lay cold and rigid, in the silence of death. As the mother described it, "stiff and frozen all over." Still her- faith held. All the others wept, but the mother did not weep. She said "I know my Father Di- vine can give me back my child.”. Grasping a “Spoken Word” magazine with the PICTURE OF FATHER on the cover, and with her whole heart and soul and mind concentrated on FATHER, she began calling upon His . Precious Holy Name and waving His Holy Picture over the little form. Back and forth she waved It, passing the Picture up and down over the cold little face and body and invoking the Precious Love of Father to re- store her child. I know not how many minutes this continued, but she testifies that very soon, in sight of all those present, WARM LIFE SURGED BACK, AND ‘THE LITTLE LAD OPENED HIS EYES AND GOT UP, restored to INSTANTANEOUS and PERFECT HEALTH, and in a degree for exceeding anything he had ever manifested before. Furthermore, he was ﬁlled with great joy. He seemed very much surprised and delighted to find so many of his relations present. The mother says he acted as if he had "just arrived" from somewhere after a long absence. He went around from one to another with great pleasure shaking hands with all his friends. In half an hour he was outside playing with his playmates, in splendid health. We thank You Precious Saviour, Loving Redeemer of Mankind, The GREAT PHYSICIAN and KING O KINGS. ' The Great Physician now is here, Our Gentle Loving Father. He came the drooping heart to cheer; Oh Praise the Name of Father!

S YOU ARE GOD'S PERFECT CHILD "OUR FATHER'S MESSAGE" Al‘ the Banquet Table—Divine Greenkill Park V — The Promised Land — ' Thursday. September 9+h, I937 A. D. F. D. Time: |0:|2 P. M. One by one the angels put in their appearance in the , great Banquet Hall of Divine Greenkill Park,_ gathering about the Beautiful Holy Body of their Redeemer, FATHER DIVINE, for another happy evening in His Personal Presence. The Example set by our Heavenly FATHER is some- thing to be considered! How patiently and tirelessly He goes about His Mission of Soul Salvation! Regardless . of His whereabouts, He is ever busy in His great Work, through every avenue establishing Righteousness in the hearts and minds of the children of men, breathing His Pure Breath of Life, His Truth and Understanding into their very bodies, that they may indeed live! It is amusing, and yet it might almost be termed piti- ful, to the Spiritually Awakened, to see men groping in darkness through superstition and their refusal to even try to get out of the rut of misunderstanding. In many cases they will acknowledge some point of Truth and refuse to admit another as convincing or more so. Many so-called Christians believe that Jesus walked upon the waters, and still will not give GOD ALMIGHTY the Power to materialize Himself in Bodily Form. In this Beautiful little Message which followed the song below, FATHER explains simply but completely the creation of the land and the creation of man in His own Image. WE THANK THEE, OUR LORD AND KING I Am here and I Am there, I Am here and I Am there. . . I Am here and I Am there, I Am everywhere! I Am Joy, Life, Health and Love, JESUS is CHRIST and CHRIST is GOD! I Am here and I Am there, I Am everywhere! CHRIST walked on the water like a man on the land, The sons and daughters don’t understand. . .

Here we all are again and there I sit and hereyou stand. Here you are and there I Am,——the transmission of GOD to the children of men and then the children of men back to Him! Aren’t you glad! By working cancellation on yourself as mortals, and by increasing and multiplying» and magni- fying the ALMIGHTY, you can see all mortality dis- pelling, and when this shall have been dispelled com- pletely, you will know definitely CHRIST" is all and in all. When this shall have been established, mankind will realize every way you look and every way you go, JESUS is CHRIST’ and CHRIST is GOD, for there is nothing left to be, saving that of which you have de- clared to be Me! Through metaphysics you are taught GOD is all and in all. From a childship degree of expression I teach through Metaphysics, through “Science and Health” and other expressions of TRUTH, that you are GOD’S Per- fect Child. If you are GOD’S Child, you must be like unto your FATHER! Since you are the Child, the Son . or the DAUGHTER, GOD must be in your likeness or you must be in the Likeness of GOD. When you recog- nize yourself as a person as being a Child of GOD, un- consciously at times you are recognizing GOD as a Per- son to be GQD. It is a privilege to realize the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose will bring all life substance together. H Was Necessary *l'o Let Man Fail As an abstract expression firstly you observe the Chil- dren of GOD, but GOD’S Children could not be invisi- ble unless GOD was also invisible, and GOD’S Children could not be visible unless GOD be visible firstly; never- theless He made Himself VISIBLE to form man out of ——He spoke the earth into visibility or outer expression ——there was the World visibly manifested. And when this was materially manifested, it was called ‘dry land’ and it appeared to be, and as it appeared, even so it was as real and tangible as you or Me! Aren’t you glad!. . . GOD speaking HIMSELF into visibility on the material plane firstly, but Himself from that angle of expression ——His WORD-—was made the earth when dry land ap- peared. But that was not enough; hence it was essen- tial to form man in His own Image and Likeness, as He was in the invisible and as He would be then, thereafter. GOD formed man out of the dust of the ground! GOD breathed in man, in Adam, the breath of Life HIMSELF, and man became a Living Soul, an expres- sion of GOD reflected, but not in the fullest measure of September! 16 it _-I—‘i("* 1 16 ‘ NCE AT I- ..,r " itgniher T6 Perfection,-——therefore GOD did not express Himself PEREECTLY to the highest standard in the Adamic statefiof consciousness. But as man failed and brought himself to his‘ extremity, GOD saw it was necessary to let man fail, that GOD might have an opportunity! Essential for the Word to Be Made Flesh Min, mortality and self have striven so vividly con- " tinuaflly, GOD did not have an opportunity to express HIMSELF; therefore it was essential for the WORD to be niade FLESH! It was essential for the FLESH to dwell; among the children of men! If the ﬂesh, through GOD,_,’S Condescension, had not dwelt among men, it would have been a matter of impossibility for them to ibeholjil Him; but as the WORD was made FLESH and dwelt} among men, one declared: “We beheld His Glory as the Glory of the énly Begotten of the FATHER, full of Grace and of Truth." . . .But not stopping at merely beholding something, but what they beheld transmittingly,—I could say, almost spontaneously,——“of all of His Fullness have all we re- ceived,_ Grace for Grace”. . .the Honor of GOD incul- cated, the Honor of GOD .reincarnated—GRACE—as the leaven that leaveneth the whole lump, until there will be nothing else left but that leaven of which: I am now stressing! We- are working cancellation on self, and we are mag- nifying GOD and CHRIST, that nothing might be left saving the PERFECT PICTURE, and we will continue to increase it and produce it and bring it to fruition until PERFECTION shall be manifested among this people. Aren’t you glad! (“So glad, LORD!” returned thegmany hearers.) l Am You! For thiscause we are rejoicing to say I Am here!. . . as I AM that ‘I’ of Whom you say I AM!. . .(“GOD— ALMIGHTY!” conﬁrmed the largeiassembly). . .and there is but one ‘I’ in the alphabet’s- capitals,—-there is but one capital ‘I’ that you all may go by. But the one capitalized ‘I’ in the capital alphabet; that ‘I is applica- ble to each and every one of us. Aren’t you glad!. . . then I say I.Am here and I Am there, for I Am. ‘you’ there. When I say ‘I’, I will say ‘I’ there, though I Am ‘you"here! It is interchangeable, is it not? I say ‘I’ to you and you say ‘I’ to Me; therefore, you can see that ‘I,’ this ‘I’ here, there and everywhere!. .' .the capitalized ‘I’ in the capital alphabet, of which is applicable to each and everyone of us. Aren’t you glad! So then when this shall have been established, every- thing else shall be ignored!. . .for ‘you’ to Me are you, but ‘you’ to yourself am ‘I,’ and I AM you! Such a Wonderful interchangeable expression that the children of this people might be partakers of the PERFECT‘ PIC- TURE and speak it distinctly, without doubting and without fearing. "I Will Draw All Men Unto Me" How marvelous it is to dwell in the ACTUAL PRES- s -‘- 7723- NEW 1515:? ENCE of GOD, where the FIOUNT of GOD’S OMNI- SCIENCE is open wide for one and all. When you know the Truth, you need not ask any man to teach you! The Spiritiof Truth, by Inspiration through transmis- sion, will teach you all things; therefore it will lead you and guide you into all Truth, whatsoever I have said unto you. I believe the last speaker can realize that by her present experience at this instance. The Spirit. of Truth, by knowing the Truth to some degree, led her over this way to Me. Aren’t you glad! Truly might have One declared: “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto Me.” I can see them coming according to the Composition, of every nation, every language, every tongue and every people,—they all are coming recognizing Me! They are enjoying the Spirit of My Presence; even if I Am not Personally reckoned, they are enjoying the Spirit of My Presence. Isn't it a pleasant Atmosphere to be in ?. . .in the Spirit of the Presence of GOD and the Consciousness of His Presence as a matter of course and as an Atmosphere -in which we are living, and also an Environment we have created? The Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of 'GOD,—we know theoretically GOD is Present everywhere! You have been taught it through the Scripture and by the metaphysicians and metaphysi- cal teaching, but to know GOD is Present everywhere by your own individual conviction, it is a marvelous Blessing, is it not? (“Yes, FATHER!” assured the many voices in unison.) ‘The recognition and the realization of GOD'S. ACTUAL PRESENCE, such a recognition backed by Faith and substantiation of Faith, will create an Atmosphere which was the CREATOR of the whole earth, and the Atmosphere in itself carries within itself the -Creative Forces of Nature to re-create and bring into outer expression everything your hearts can desire! Aren’t you glad!. . .for, “The Spirit of the Conscious- ness of the Presence of GOD is the Source of all supply, and it will, yea, it DOES satisfy every good desire! Aren’t you glad! The Presence of GOD Creates an Atmosphere You have your SATISFYING PORTION in the ful- filment of the prediction made by the Apostle Philip: “Show us the FATHER and it sufficeth.” Aren’t you glad !. ‘. .you have the SATISFIER? (“Thank You FATHER!” shouted the listeners.) You are SAT- ISFIED when you are conscious of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE and when you recognize His Presence dis- tinctly as GOD reveals it, then and there you are SAT- ISFIED and your hearts are at ease. Oh, it is a privi- lege, I say, to know you are in G(]D’S PRESENCE! This is no longer a supposition! Those of the True Be- lievers, it is their conscious conviction and realization . .they feel it within themselves! They get the results of it, for the Presence of GOD, as I aforesaid, creates an ‘Atmosphere that SATISFIES the desires according to the prediction of the Apostle Philip when he Said: __,, '.,.,l,.5,,T,,-,_,‘p-,-_———V. _~ . 4 .! rs fl 3 l ! 16' ‘ The aNI~:w DAY -*~‘-sv-surf ' ‘S ’ ’ September 16 5;. _gf, '-_, "Show us the FATHER and it suffj,,eeth.” Aren’t you glad! A You have not seen one satisfied yet, saving that one that recognizes the ACTUAL PRESENCE of GOD and can declare in reality, “Isee the FATHER and I am satisfied!” The FATHERSHIP Degree of Expression was about nineteen hundred years coming into consid- eration and into the recognition and the realization of the masses, but It has come at last! Aren’t you glad! Such a recognition dispels doubts and fears the same as the Light dispels darkness. As well as it dispels dis- satisfaction, it dispels doubts and fears and all adverse and undesirable conditions, for the Name of the FATHER is the ADJUSTER of matters. It adjusts mat- ters satisfactorily Aren’t youglad! . _ , J. GOD'S Presence the Only Real Consciousness. Then I say the Mission of CHRIST is fulfilled in your experience. “His Name shall be called Immanuel, being interpreted, GOD is with us.” You could not be satisﬁed until you were convinced and recognized GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE as an abstract expression and as a visible observation. You observed GOD in your own concept, and visibly perceived the idea GOD is visibly Manifest, and by such a recognition your soul is SATISFIED! How marvelous it is to "bring about such a Spiritual Awakening! How marvelous it-is to bring such a recognition, such a consciousness! You are not really conscious until you are conscious of GOD’S PRES- ENCE!. . .You are still in a semi-cons'ciousness,—but when you become to be really conscious, you have re- turned to GOD from whence you have been driven, and you are actually inithe recognition of GOD’S ACTUAL - PRESENCE! Aren’t you glad! "Taste and See That The Lord Is Good" , If one has a doubt about this Mystery, I will give them a slight sip of this LOVE, for instance and for consider- ation, and let them taste and see that the LORD is good, and the SATISFIER of every desire is truly here! I think I had better stop! ("Oh, NO, FATHER, talk on!" urged the enthusiastic gathering.) ‘That is what it is all about! That is why the nations of the earth,——not only right here,——but the nations of the earth, every land and country, they love Me whole-heartedly! Aren’t you glad! ("So glad, FATHER!” responded the Children.) You cannot help it!. . .your spirit says you do!. . .your mind says you do and your heart asys you do!. . .for it is the Life Substance and the Essence of your soul! "Out of one blood GOD formed all nations, and out of "the one Spirit of Life all men exist.” “GOD breathed in Adam the Breath of ‘Life and the man became a living soul.” You are living souls today! . . .you are no longer dead souls, but you are LIVING souls by the Breath of Life which I breathed in you! You are just having breathed in you now the Breath of Life, for you never did live before! What says the Scripture? “The body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.“ , Since I have established Righteousness in you and in - others, and drafted a RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM upon which you should stand, the spirit in you now I am breathing, and that Breath of Life in j: you I am breathing, it is the Breath of Life and you are 1 LIVING!. . .not only your souls are living, but your bodies are living! Your physical bodies are charged with the*Magnetic Current of My INFINITENESSS and you are living to die no more, for you recognize GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE right down here below. I thank you.

J FATHER DIVINE. To act as the Master did 1900 years ago, it will help if we keep in our minds a picture of Him as He went about Judea and Galilee, "doing good.” Can you not see Him walking serenely through the city streets or along the country roads, never anxious or‘ fearing anything in spite of the enemies he had? He thought not of what might happen to Him. He did not wonder where He would sleep, although He said, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.” FATHER has said: “We could be just as happy without a penny and without a place to lay our heads, with the right concept and the recognition of GOD’S Presence.” Jesus was not thoughtful about what He should wear, for He said: “Is not the body more than raiment?" f 30 ills, en- en- ter 16 September: 16 in FATHER said once: "If you have only one dress or. suit of clothes, you wear that and have no worry about what to put on,” or wordsto that effect. Brothers have been known to own but one suit and yet always"look neat and suitably dressed. ' The Love-Master was never concerned about what He in would eat or where it would come from. “Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth. them. Are ye not much better than they?” Also: “My J meat is to do the will of Him that sent me.” Is it so terrible to go without a meal or two? The writer can assure you it is not, from experience; and ‘he believes it would be good for some to deny themselves at times. FATHER spoke on this subject over a year ago. After the writer learned FATHER’S Teachings, he once went without food for three days, trusting in the Source of all supply, rather than owe or borrow for it even that short time. He was able to go about as usual. Think how meek and uncomplaining the Master was. How He submitted to the ill treatment of the Roman soldiers without a murmur and bore His cross as long as He was able. Also, how He asked the Father to forgive His crucifiers, saying: “They know not what they do.” "Meek and lowly is the way.” How meek and lowly are we? are you? Can you bear slights, false accusations, re- proof, abusive treatment, without resentment or any self- defence, and return good for evil? FATHER doe-s, and He says: ‘You must deny yourself of all self-defence.” Can you let your brother or sister do something you are sure is wrong and say nothing? FATHER does, and Jesus said to the man who asked Him to make his - brother divide the inheritance with him: “Who made me a judge over you?” How many of us who thank and praise our FATHER and declare we love the whole world, prove that statement in all our deeds? The writer was much impressed years ago by the statement of a young man that he never said anything about any person which he would not say to that person. - What were Jesus’ thoughts? The Psalmist wrote: “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, 0 Lord.” And the Master said: “Out of the abundance of the heart _the mouth speaketh.” So- we can tell what Jesus’ thoughts were by His words. Did He talk about the personal affairs of His friends and followers and tell them how to act and say they were not following Him and His teachings? No; the record is that He taught the better life to His dis- ciples and the people——frequently in parables, as He does now——and by precepts and principles that all could understand. He said_: “I came that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” He talked to them about spiritual matters (the causes of ma- terial affairs) and about bringing the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. So--the Master’s thoughts must have followed the ad- monition; “Let your conversation be in heaven.” His The NE'W- DAY -17 thoughts were of heaven-—’on earth. We might alter the ‘oft-used quotation and say: “As a man- speaketh, so doth he think in his heart”; since it is true that “out of i the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Truly,_Jesus “kept His mind on FATHER.” How can we claim that we are doing that when we talk about personal,affairs—-our own or others? A preacher was once heard to state that people were in three classes in regard to their conversation: one class talks about things, one about persons and one about ideas. We learn something proﬁtable by talking about ideas, not about persons and things except as these repre- sent ideas and principles.’ If we are living the spiritual life, we will talk about spiritual matters will we not, and not more than necessary of others. This will show what our thoughts are. Incidentally, it is likely that we all talk too much. We may not like to apply to ourselves the saying, "The empty barrel makes the most noise,” but isn't it a true saying? Likewise, "Still waters run deep.” FATHER said some time ago: "Refuse to talk so much; it is one of the greatest essentials.” And have you never noticed how much of the time’ HE is silent, in spite of the fact that HIS words are of so: much greater significance than anyone else’s? It is generally considered that one should keep up a conversation when with others, out of cour- tesy; but whose opinion and favor is more important to you, iman’s or God’s? Surely, we do not need to reflect long to realize what Jesus’ deeds were. They were as they now -are-—works of Love, Mercy and Compassion; all and always for others. And this means that His thoughts were always for others also; always on good, the good of others. Then—how shall we act as if we were Christ? FATHER has given us the answer. Imagine yourself to be as Jesus at all times. Go about with His serenity— never disturbed or anxious about any condition or hap- pening. Keep your mind on "the positive, good and true." and be always on the lookout for opportunities to do something for pthers. Let your conduct be “meek and lowly,” and your thoughts "high and holy.” It is not easy, is it? But think how FATHER helps us by being here as the Perfect Sample and Example. We have no excuse for not knowing HIS Ways. It is no new thought, but let us consider how HE would feel, think and act in every situation. Can there be a better or an easier way? i _ w PEACE ’ C The SUPREME CLEANERS 8: TAILORS, of l40| Fifth Avenue, corner |l5th Street, notify you that they are ready for the Fall and Winter Season. ’.

YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE I AM A ~ HERE PERSONALLY FATHER'S MESSAGE At the Banquet Table 20 West I |5’rh St. New York City Tuesday. September 7th. I937 A. D. F. D. Time: 3:|O P. M. In any place where the ACTUAL PERSONIFIEID, PRESENCE OF GOD is recognized, only Thanksgiving and Praise should resound. This is especially true in the immediate Personal Presence of GOD, and at FATI-IER’S New York City Headquarters where thous- ands gather daily, it can be found at almost any hour of the day or night. Especially when FATHER Person- ally serves the Banquets» at the Holy Communion Table and the Angels gather around the Holy Body of GOD, vibrant Praises fill the air. As FATHER served the Banquet on Tuesday after- noon, September 7th, however, a voice was heard that was not one of Praise, arising from the great Audience. The Speaker said that he had once been healed of all of his ailments through his Contact with FATHER, but i recently some kind of complaint had come upon him which made it difficult for him to move around, and it seemed to interfere with his breathing. This had pre- vented him from coming to the Meetings, but he had asked FATHER to give him strength to come and pre- sent himself in FATHERS Personal Presence to ask, to be forgiven for whatever deviation had caused such a condition to come upon him. He especially asked to be forgiven if he had ignored the Body of GOD in any way, in order that his body might be well and healthy. 9 Following this and another similar testimony from another Speaker, FATHER arose Speaking Personally as follows: THANK YOU FATHER "PEACE EVERYONE! Here we all are again, and Happy to sit and stand, and to be just as I Am. Aren’t you glad! At this particular instance I have arisen to Say in reference to- one of our Speakers—yea, two of whom seemed to have been afflicted and still seemed to be under the aﬂ‘liction—-firstly the Party who has made his testimony of having had some trouble in express- ing himself and getting around, speaking and walking around and such like,———I wish to Say to this Speaker, as he had been healed once and something else has returned to him apparently; make your open confession of that which has severed you from My Health and Happiness, and forsake such an expression, word, deed or action, and I will abuntlantly bless you. To all of you who have been healed, the Message still remains as it was handed down through JESUS as One as an Expresser of Salvation,——when those were healed at the time of JESUS’ Personal existence on the Earth plane nineteen hundred years ago-. He said,-— "Go in Peace and sin no more.” When you are healed, when you are blessed from whatsoever expression you may have sought Me, you should go in Peace and sin nolmore, and as the’iSpeaker "'said'why”the BODY of GOD is to be recognized, for when you disrecognize the BODY of ‘GOD, ‘GOD must needs disrecognize your body‘ in the fulﬁllmentpf the Scripture,_'Yo»u shall reap just what you sow.’ The recognition of the BODY of GOD is the great essential, although it may seem simple and the BODY itself may apparently be insigniﬁcant; but it is quite SIGNIFICANT for the millions to stress and consider ,. and recognize the PERSONIFICATION of GOD, that they might be lifted physically and personally from all undesirable conditions and live in the Land of the Living,» with the recognition and consideration of the ALMIGHTY. "You Must Come In Through Me" ‘ How marvelous it is when you are in fellowship with GOD! You may think to say within yourself as a party said to Me years ago—I think this happened around about nineteen fourteen,——a party said to Me she saw herself trying to get into Heaven, a beautiful building, and I was sitting in the doorway and it looked as if though there were thousands of insects after her almost the size of birds. They looked something like mosquitoes and they were stinging her, and she was on the outside trying to get in. She said she heard Me Say and she heard MeiSing, "You must come in through and by Me.” When she brought this thought to My consideration I Said, “Now you can plainly see, you must come in through _by Me." ''Well,’’ she said, "that was not You, that was merely Your Spirit," or, "'that was merely the Spirit.” I Said,—-—-"And that was not YOU, that was merely your spirit, but as a representative of the Body the Spirit was there to tell you, and as a representative of the Spirit the BODY is here to tell you.” If that was merely My Spirit, or merely the Spirit of GOD as she may term it to be, she should consider as with her so with Me and as with Me so with her. If that was merely’ My Spirit that was merely HER spirit, but her spirit could not enter into the Kingdom saving coming through and by Me. Recognize The Personal Presence Your physical body is the outward expression of your mental and spiritual conception. Your physicalgbqdy out- wardly expresses your spiritual degree of unfoldznent, rg _S_j_¢_ptember‘ .16 therefore you are the expresser. As you are as a person, two persons and two spirits, you may express it spirit- ually. Those who are discerners of spirits, they can dis- cern the spirit in you, but your physical body will be observed as that of which you are in‘ reality. So the mystery is that each and every individual should bring him or herself into subjection and recognize GOD'S ACTUAL PRESENCE. If you recognize GOD'S PRES- ENCE PERSONALLY, He will recognize your presence personally. If you disrecognize GOD'S Presence PER- SONALLY, GOD will disrecognize your presence per- sonally. Therefore your pliysicalybody, your person, will be in a chaotic Condition but the _spirit, andvlthe gift, and: the talent that may h,ave_b,een___expressing' inithat body may be Redeemed. As you recognize_._the'_Impersonal ‘Presence of Him, even so will YOU be're'cogniz'ed. Then I Say to our hearers and to our friends, insignifi- cant as I may apparently be, even so insignificant are you in the Sight of Him Who Liveth forever and for- ever. As you see Me to be, even so see I you. That is the mystery! As I Am, so are you, for it is written, "As He is, so are we in this present world.” For this cause '‘ it is essential for each and every individual, if he or she desires to be ‘healthy, happy and joyful and peaceful, physically or personally, it is essential for them to recognize the E-ver-Personal Presence‘ of GOD even as " they desire to be recognized and considered by all." "Your Faith in Me Made You Whole" Those of you My Friends who have been blessed and healed and have allowed things to come back upon you‘ again, retrace your thoughts back from whence I have lifted you, and recognize GOD'S Presence as you did in the beginning. Your conscious conviction and realiza- tion of GOD'S PRESENCE gave you your physical de- liverance from all ailments and complaints, your Faith . in Me as though it was Me, made you whole. Just think of it! From a physical point of view, from a personal point of view, your Faith in Me as though it is Me, has put you here at this Table to eat,-——those of you who are eating at this Table. Well, you may ignore Me Person- ally. When I ignore YOU personally then I Say, get up and leave. Now I do not have to knock "the other place” out of you, because I can knock you out of THIS Place. That is the mystery, and that is the Work of the Spirit. GOD does not have to do anything Per- sonally or Physically, for the Spirit of My Presence is quite efficient and quite sufficient to meet every issue and to do whatsoever I Tell It. But consider, how is it and why are you all here personally, and why do you eat, and how do yo-u eat, and how do you exist? Well, if you attempt to ignore My Personal Body, some day I am going to ignore yours, and back to the dust you will go. It is indeed Wonderful! ‘ ’ it You Ignore the Body You Are Ignoring the Spirit Then I Say, an open confession is good for the soul. As I often Say through some——"You puny worms of the dust, how dare you to‘ rise in opposition to the great Fundamental and set up your stinking self in the Pres- I t Y‘ J iriie N'~EW-WDIIAY ‘ ' 19' ence of GOD? It is indeed Wonderful !’ How came you here? How did you get here anyway? That is the mys- tery! What are you doing here? What business have you here? If you disrecognize My Personal BODY, " why then your_body has no business here; and really, if a train would grind your body into- powder, if it could be into powder——why, what would that be? What is your old body if you disrecognize GOD'S Body? What is your old body if you disrecognize GOD'S BODY? That is the idea. Now every person under the sound of My Voice, you are here because I AM here Personally. You try to ignore GOD'S Body, and GOD'S Body is the only thing brought you here. By My'B'ODY you eat, you live, and you have a place to sleep. My PERSONAL BODY I am Talking about! You must recognize it! That is what I mean! So these Thoughts are well worth con- sidering. I am firstly conveying the Message to the per- son that is afflicted, and those others who are afflicted. First consider what caused your affliction, make your open confession and forsake those things you have been thinking. Forsake the way you have been ignoring Me. Forsake everything that you have been doing and say- ing concerning My Personal Body. Confess what you have been thinking concerning My BODY, when I am here and have brought you into these Audiences with Peace, and Joy and Happiness, and food and raiment, ‘comfort and convenience for your bodies. As with the Spirit, so with the Body. You cannot ignore the Body unless you ignore the Spirit. If you ignore the BODY you are ignoring the SPIRIT. "That Which GOD Hath Joined" What Said JESUS? “My FATHER and I are One,''—-- ' and the same Spirit is Speaking today concerning His Tabernacle with Whom you now live. Aren't you glad! just what you do with the Spirit you do with the Body, and what you do with the Body you do with the Spirit. What you do to the'BODY “you would do the same thing to the Spirit and what you do to the SPIRIT you vuuld do the same thing to the BODY. It is just the same, there is no difference. Aren't you glad! It has long since been declared,-—“That which GOD joined together, let no man put asunder." I have joined My Spirit, My Mind, and My Body together, and before I put it asunder I will throw off millions of other bodies. Yet, although My Spirit, My Mind and »My Body, they arenall together and they are all one, yet I will Declare to the children of men I will accomplish that for which I came with or without My Bodily Form. That is the signiﬁcance of the Independence of GOD. GOD is independent to His Own Body. GOD is inde- pendent to every visible expression, for before GOD had any Body He moved out on the face of the Deep as Spirit, and brought things into existence that you might see them. I especially stress this Thought for the beneﬁt of those who stand in the need of help. Those of you who have firstly been blessed and healed after coming in contact with Me, your Faith in Me as though 20 . ' Tlie “NEW D"AIYr SeE‘em_lie,r716,_ S_er it was Me healed you and blessed you. Now your un- your soul and your Saviour. If anything can be closer I E belief in Me as though it is Me, will KILL you. That to you and to your soul than GOD, why, then you must » L is what it will do! Then it will do just as I do. I did die and cannot live. But if you will make an open con- not do a thing to judge Smith. His unbelief in Me and antagonism against Me, killed him and has killed many of those right here in this City. Many Preachers have been cut off of the stage of action by their unbelief in Me as though it was Me, and I did not do a thing to them. But the outward expression of My Gestures, and Actions, and Emotions, may stress the way My Spirit is doing to them. That is the mystery! Aren't you glad! Let Nothing Betweein I still Say, an open confession is good for the soul. I do not care if you are in the likeness of a woman, you better not let anything get between you and Me. I do not care if you, are in the likeness of a man, if you let a woman get closer to you than I can, you are going to DIE. Your physical emotions and expressions are the outward expression of your mental and spiritual con- ception. Then if you can physically let any person get nearer youthan »Me,——if you would desire any person" to get nearer you than you desire for Me Personally to be near you, why, you are going to DIE. You may say, “Well, I am a married man and I have been married for lo these many years and I love my wife.” You may love your wife, but if your wife can stay closer to you than I can Personally,—-if you want your wife to come any nearer to you and any nearer in your love than I can Personally, why then you are going to DIE. _ Thisshould not be strange, for what said. the Spirit? 1 have heard you sing,——"Nothing between my soul and My Saviour, so th:at His Blessed Face can be seen; let nothing prevent the least of His Favors, keep the way clear, let nothing between.” This is not more than what it should have been before you saw Me. I have nothing to do with it Personally. You should not have allowed anything to remain between your soul and your Saviour before you saw Me Personally. You should have severed everything from you, between your soul and your Saviour, and should have lived according to your promise you made to GOD before you saw Me Person» ally. You know thousands of you made such a promise. You know when you sought to get Religion you said you laid aside everything and made up your mind to let nothing between your soul and your Saviour. What were you doing? You were lying to GOD! You did not keep your promise you made with GOD. Aren't you glad! "Repent and Do Your First Wor " GOD Said you should return to the place where you were called. The Word says, “Except you repent and do your ﬁrst work, GOD will Say,"—-you know what it says. I need not Say more, the Spirit is Speaking today,—— if anything can be closer to you than I can,——I am Talk- ing to the children of men, I am Talking to MEN,——if anything can be closer to you than I can, or than you want Me to be Personally, why, then and there you cannot live always. And what is Said in reference to men is the same in reference to women,—-nothing between fession of such things as you have been doing, letting different things in between your soul and your Saviour, bringing about a separation between you and your mé Saviour, why if those things are moved you will have a j an« chance to live and to regain your health and happiness. i_; na1 That is the Truth concerning the matter. This is just "T plain Talk! . ‘ According, to Your Belief!’ a_ 3 ‘ And remember, as I Said, as with the Spirit so with ;. 1;: the BODY, and as with the Body so with the SPIRIT. . of If anything can get nearer to you than GOD, why, then A di: that is your GOD, and if that GOD can save you, why, ’ A you will be saved if that GOD loves you as He should. .\ Someone may say,—-—"Why, when I ’ ﬁrst heard of ag FATHER DIVINE 1 did not hear so much gossip and a“ so much talk about Him, therefore I had great faith P! in Him and Iiwas healed; the CHRIST in me healed at me because I believed in GOD.” That is true,——that is St_ true. The CHRIST? in you healed you because you be- ‘ SV lieved in GOD; because you heard som€_‘.‘0ne say so'me- _ .0 thing good about Me and you believed it, that belief in In Me healed you. Well now, because you heard someone if te say something of what you may call “bad” about Me s2 and you disbelieve Me, why now that disbelief or un-. belief is going to KILL you. V St Is not this the fulfillment of the Scripture? "Out of. His Mouth goeth a two-edged sword and with it He u smites the Nations.” The sword cuts both ways. Can you n not see the mystery? It will cut going and coming. n Your belief in Me, because someone told you something i] good I had done, they told you about it and you be- lieved it,—your belief in Me healed your physical body and caused you to be healthy and happy, robust and strong. Well now, someone has said something bad. about Me; now if you believe that and disbelieve Me, why, your unbelief is going to kill you, just like your belief in Me healed you and gave you food and rai- ment, gave you houses and shelter, rescued you when you were outdoors and lifted you when you were down. Now then, just like your belief in Me did these things,‘ your unbelief is going to do the extreme reverse. Aren’t ‘you glad! I do not have to do a thing to you; your belief in Me healed youxand your unbelief in Me shall KILL you. Your belief in‘ Me gave you. food and gave you raiment, gave you life and health, your unbelief in Me shall give you_ the extreme reversetof all these blessings.

Bargains at Your Own Terms THANK YOU FATHER I " _ agencies for the expenditure of power, whilst utterly’ Sepfemibleri '16 Very correctly, it seems, Mr. Charles Ferguson, for- merly editor of a prominent New York daily, describes and defines the need for FATHER DIVINE'S Inter- national Righteous Government movement in his book, “The Revolution Absolute,” published some years ago. Mr. Ferguson says, “We require nothing less than a new and modern conception of the source and sanc- tion of law and order; an institution of commanding energy and authority to impose this modern definition of Right upon the severed parts and faculties of our disordered life.” I Continuing we read, “We go on devising new and wilfully refusing to devise any agency for the im- provement and mastery of our materials and element- ary forces. . .we shall perceive that the way to get strength is simply to make a business of getting it, in every neighborhood.” In this he is referring evidently, to political as wellas economic strength through build- ing up central moral authority as well as technical mas- tery and control over natural resources. ‘Concerning the “Physiology of Modern Society” he says, “It is of course impossible to believe that any in- stitution of commanding authority can be brought into existence merely ‘because discreet men see the need of it. Their discretion should go deeper. They should understand that organ (institution, power or move- ment) necessary, to sustain the life of a living body must in the nature of things be already in existence. . . in some vestigial or prophetic shape.” Under the "Law of Political Exploitation” he says, "Politicis is the art and science of human mass action. The.student_of politics should keep in mind the fact that it is not the arrangements that matter; it is the community of interests that matter”—such as enough people wanting Peace, Justice or Righteousness; aboli- tion of capital punishment or government control of the financial system; rights of organized labor, etc. "Nothing can hold a political organization together but a common hope-of an enlarged estate"—a Promised Land. "To be sure, the abstract ideal is of infinite signifi- cance. Itis the most precious possession of the private heart. It gives every man his chance to do his own proper and unique work in the material world—a work impossible to any other man. “Persistent mass action can be got only where there is a common’ participation in the gains and honors of advancing exploitation (service). He seems to be say- ing planned mass attack must be made against the re- sistance of nature—human and otherwise—in order to. gain access to the resources of the infinite. “The two principles are: Nothing but a material TIi‘e' NE_w rDA‘Y‘ * A A 21 THE REVOLUTION ABSOLUTE community of interest can bring men together for ac- tion; and masses must move constantly or disintegrate. "There are lush fields and glittering palaces hidden in unexploited nature and in the fallows of the mind under the briers of ancient fears and frauds.” The discoverer of these Fundamental Principles of Change writes a chapter on "Revolution toward Evo- lution.” “The old politic_s__is static, the new is dynamic. The new politics is . . . Copernican; it gives up the vain quest for settled status and an absolute right; commits itself to grand orbits and to the kind of stability that comes from momentum”—-such as a cyclist possesses while traveling rapidly. “The most mobile society—- the people weighted with the lightest baggage of eco- nomic and political tradition——will win.” Concerning the ever—deepening mystery of finance Mr. Ferguson quotes the editor o-f the London Statist as saying, “We are coming to understand at length that modern finance is not an economy of money but of skills”———that is, human values. » He speaks of the News Service——publicity and prop- aganda——in the following terms: “It follows that those who understand that modernity in politics is govern- ment by sheer stress of organized intelligence, cannot _ fail to see that the newspaper occupies the place where the center of social authority ought to ‘be. The news service is the emotional focus and controlling centre of democracy.” That is why every prophet, every ef- fective leader, political party, dictator, or world move- ‘ ment must have its own press. The saying, “Let me write the headlines and I care, not who writes the laws,” is to a great extent true.’ However, "The more anxiously and Jabjectly it"———the press—“strives to reach the people the wider yawns the breach of confidence that separates the faith of the public from the ministry of the press”——when the press alone tries to be omniscient and omnipotent, in the sense that Hearst or Beaverbrook does. In that case, "The people rebel against the press. and vote against it.” Have you not’ seen the Communist posters, "Boycott the Hearst Papers,” and does not FATHER DIVINE say "Do not read the prejudicial newspapers.” » “Scoop down yon beetling mountain, And raze that jutting cape; A world is on your anvil, Now smite it into shape. What is this iron music Whose sound is borne afar? The hammers of the world-smiths Are beating out a star.” —X. 22 PEACE RESTAURANT "CHAIN" IN ST.

No. 27 WHEN YOU TAKE ‘THE LAW ‘OR THE RESPONSIBILITY IN YOUR OWN HANDS THEN AND THERE YOU ARE A MISTRUSTINC-3 GOD !"OUR FATHER'S MESSAGE" At the Banquet Table, Divine Greenkill Park -— The Promised Land - Safurday, September I8. I937. A. D. F. D. Time: |:20 A. M. After Midnight From time to time it becomes necessary for the LORD to forcibly emphasize certain points to stress them in the minds of the children of men who, in various stages of unfoldment and oftentimes far from the goal of Perfection themselves, try to instruct others. This instruction, although usually well-meant, often serves only to confuse and discourage the one to whom it is directed, and may weaken the individual just as a chicken which has been helped to pick its way through the eggshell by human hands, is not as strong as the one which has cracked the shell by the power of the Life within it. i This Dynamic little Message delivered by the LORD at the Banquet Table of Divine Greenkill Park, Satur- day evening, September 18th, says HANDS OFF! to _ the children of men who seek to help the OMNIPO- TENT HOLY SPIRIT of GOD ALMIGHTY, FATHER DIVINE, in the performance of its Work! By way of illustration, the experience of Uzzah when he put forth his hand to steady the Ark, was recalled to the minds of the Hearers. FATHERS Personal Words were as follows: DEAR LORD, WE THANK YOU. PEACE EVERYONE: ("Peace, FATHER DEAR!” joyfully greeted many voices.) GOOD HEALTH, GOOD WILL, GOOD APPTETITE, with GOOD MAN- NERS and GOOD BEHAVIOUR! All of these Blessings I have brought into actuality and caused them to become to be a Living Reality. Thousands and thousands of people the world over have surmised and imagined vain things, but we are privileged to know deﬁnitely that which was supposition in the negative direction, I have dispelled it! . . and that which was a supposition in the positive, I have made it a reality! For this cause I have stressed vividly the reality of the positive, and I have actually materialized it. The materi- alization of that which was spiritual is a Living Reality in the midst of this people, and I stress it continually that others may get it by concentration and conceive it, even as these who have materialized it. Aren’t you glad! ("S glad, FATHER!” assured the gathering.) V I believe it was enough said in the Message that was ‘read; without mentioning the letters as given,—in other words, sent by those who have been beneﬁted by the Spirit of My Mission,——but I believe in the letters that were sent to Me and to those of My Followers, and My Answers combined were enough in themselves in the expression of such to answer every problem and to satisfy every mind, if you will receive it. Copy After the Fashion. Do Not Crriﬁcize It is a privilege to know as you vividly visualize the PERFECT, the PURE, the REAL and the TRUE, to you the "PERFECT, REAL and TRUE, will become to be a Living Reality, for you, tangibilate that which you vividly gaze upon,——you become to be a partaker of it hereditively. It is a privilege to live in the PRESENCE of GOD and to visualize the PERFECT PICTURE! It is a privilege to live in the Spirit and the Mind of GOD, that will lift you out of every difficulty! . . . that will prohibit you from living in the thought of condem- nation. Whilst sitting listening and thinking, I thought of the experience of many,———how there are those among you who even think because you see others failing to express Perfectly according to your version concerning yourself - in this Movement, as being termed Religion, you would attempt to critize them, but stop still and steady your- self and consider the Mystery of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE on the earth. COPY AFTER THE FASHION I HAVE SHOWN YOU! If you do what I bid you do, I will teach, tell, and I will show you Aren’t you glad! .514‘. _ _ . p L V ‘For this cause you will not have an occasion to bring , yourself under condemnation by accusations without a ’ cause, especially by your mortal version through“criti- cism. Now there are those of whom I come in contact a a with daily,—a few may be Believers partially,——but yet have not developed to the place in consciousness where they can completely rely on the FUNDAMENTAL. I do not tell them they must rely on Me Personally, but Istress the signiﬁcance of the Work and the Recogni- tion of My PRESENCE, and how My Spirit can and will give them their real emancipation from every limited and undesirable condition. I , A, Do Not Get in the Way I do not tell them, "You must take off your glasses!" I do not tell them, "You cannot do ‘this’ " or, "You cannot do"the'other’,” but Ileave My Spirit to lead themand to guide them and give them their real emanci- pation! Take these Thoughts to consideration. When you‘ areigettingin the way, it may be that you may touch something you have no business touching. Un- less you are an expert electrician, you should be mind- ful howyou bother with electricity, and even if you are an expertelectrician and understand a great deal about electricity, you should know how to handle it and when to handle it and handle it scientiﬁcally. That is theV"Mystery! . . - Eor: thiscause I say,»build upon the Foundation of GO.D’S IOMNISCIENCE, GOD’S OMNIPOTENCE and GOD'S - ACTUAL OMNI-PRESENCE, as well as EVER‘-PRESENCE, and I will Teach you Wisdom trans- oe'n5d"ing the ‘mortal version of the children of this people‘. Oh, it is a privilege" to live in the ACTUAL PRESENCE of- GOD! You never hear ME or see ME. telling a_ person, _'.'You should-not,” or, "You cannot wear ‘ yourglasses -. .' . You cannot do ‘this’ not do ‘the other’ ” , for I will notiget in the way of My Spirit. Remem- ber Uzzah,“ once upon a time, because the oxen shook tl_1c_Ark-,.l1e‘_was troubled about it and he put his hand for-tli -to ,st:e~'acly the Ark,:——but wl-mt. said the Spirit in ”_thj,e» ex;pression__of,- the an-gerof GOD?

Oh, it is a privilege to live in the ‘.A(-:T,U~AiL PRESENCE of. GOD! I speak into existence. I _by My ‘own .RéCo:gnit_i‘on'. and My Realized PRESENCE that which is .d'esira_ble for each and all of you asipersonsr _'ly-speal:.Zinto« Actual‘ity that you may be pa-rtakers and ‘ :' L.-—_n—-r I ,_,.~. ,...,I...‘ -' -1' --."i'. -' - .' ,'f' ' "T; '> _ might be the enjoyers of this My PRESENCE! By so doing, you will not have an occasion to fret nor worry. How marvelous it is to know the Truth concerning the Mystery and allow the Spirit of My Presence to gently- lead you. My Spirit and My Mind will lead you on to Victory, if you will let Me. It will give you Victory over every difficulty, will give you Victory over every trial and every tribulation, will give you your REAL EMANCIPATION from undesirable conditions, 'and. will establish your going in the Land of the Living! Upon this Foundation if you will stand, you will be at all times filled with enthusiasm, with Victory, with Health, with Happiness, with Vigor, with Courage, and you will be at the place where you cannot be disturbed. ‘ There are many things I could say along this line, but I believe I have said enough to stir up your pure minds. Your thoughts should be stirred along this line, that you might LET GO and LET GOD, that GOD might LET YOU! . . . not only you, but might let you ALL! When you take the law or responsibility in your own hands, then and there you are mistrusting GOD. Then I say, live in the Light of My Spirit and let My Spirit have access! Let My Spirit and My Mind Bless as it came to Bless! My Spirit and My Mind, they come forth into expression here and now for a Blessing to each and all of mankind. D-ial in Continually and You Will Receive Freely Then I say, live in this recognition and lo I will be with you! I did’ not arise especially to speak,—I rose merely tosay in part what I said firstly, at ﬁrst which- ever, but I wish to say if there be any person or-persons as strangers in our midst who would like to have a word to say, we would be glad to hear from them. It is a privilege to know you can come in such an audience as this and be able to speak if you have never spoken. Why? It is because this being the Source of all Supply, the‘ -Spirit of it especially can and will satisfy every good desire! With My Spirit and with My Mind you can be inspired and will be bountifully supplied,—-not only with food for‘ the sustenance of the body, but you are l bountifully supplied with the necessary information, with the necessary inspirations, with the necessary understand- ing and itlienecessary enthusiasm and the necessary Spirit of ~Mer‘riness inyour heart, to cause you to speak ‘as-you ought. Aren't you glad !' ("So glad, LORD!" was the quick response.) — For this cause any person can speak in these audiences, , for the very INSPIRER of speaking is here! Aren't you glad! It is immaterial to Me whether you have ever spoken, if you have never spoken whichever, the very Spirit of My Presence will Inspire you with such en- thusiasm andiwill give you the gift and the talent, if it is necessary,‘ and cause you to speak volitionally even as I do Personally! Oh, it is a privilege to be in the ACTUAL PRESENCE of GOD !——ONE, by the Spirit andcby Harmonizing with Him.

That is the Mystery! 1 . Then I say, DIAL IN on ME continually! HARMO- N A Promised Land Surrounded By Rich Occult Lore Called New York’s "Mystic Highway” in Carmer’s book, “Across the entirebreadth of York State . . . a hilly strip scarcely twenty-ﬁve miles wide invites the world’s wonder.” Carl Carmer’s book, "Listen for a Lonesome Drum,” gives a running narrative account of great and small religious movements and physchic revel- ations originating in the state of New York, many of them identiﬁed with places not far from FATHER DI- VINE'S widely renowned Promised Land. , Because of the location of the Promised Land it is inevitable that the fertile mystic history of this region will have the spotlig_ht of publicity, focused more and more brightly upon it as time goes on. .. The territory is described as a “broad mystic highway, a thoroughfare of the occult,” running from “east. of Albany to west of Buffalo,” where “voicesout of other worlds have spoken with spiritual authority . . . and the invisible mantles of the prophets have been laid on consecrated shoulders. In no other area in the Western Hemisphere have so ‘many evidences of an existence transcending mortal living been manifest.” This book is destined to become an interesting historical reference source. ~ V Uncounted millions have been influenced‘ by the counsels received from visible and‘ invisible spiritual visitants there. New York state has been described as a "kind of idea frontier,” and the great evangelistic awakening of New England spread to New York and there took on another identity. Mother Ann Lee (Ann the Word) established a com- munist Shaker movement at New Lebanon, near Albany just after Christmas 1775. M They gave “Hands to work and hearts to GOD.” ' They had to beat off the attacks of mobs who became unreasonably angry at them. They engaged in very. prac- : ..tical industry, invented many devices. and marketed them «..ar1.d.prospered. After the passing. of Mother Ann their ' zeal. diedaway and gradually the movement until now there are but few left at New Lebanon, Watcrvliet and at auS~haker community in Kentucky. V The Millerites arose in this belt and predicted the coming of Christ and the end of the_world. Christ has now come and the world of lust is ended for those who have attained to the heavenly state of consciousness, but apparently no Millerite has yet recognized the fact. ‘ The Oneidaecolony still continues at Oneida, N. Y. but it has long since abandoned its communal property ‘holdings and conjugal relations supervised by commit- tees with: a sound experiment in eugenics on top. Its free-p(but supervised) relation of the sexes aroused a .~.°*'*.'. * "‘”"'”yT ‘Q '“ ‘‘’’‘‘*'‘ I.-I .°l§::Q. -.= " sary information will comelforth into expression by A Inspiratioryand you will be moved voli‘tiona'lly andyou will speak spontaneously.

The colony still’ has its I headquarters in a large community house, and surround- ing buildings, at Kenwood very near Oneida. There are also the Je-_mimakins,' followers of the ‘Uni- versal Friend. Miss Jemima Wilkinson, eighteen years old, died at Cumberland, Rhode Island in 1.776, but her body was taken possession of immediately by the spirit of “The Public Universal Friend” who chose that ‘body for her reincarnation. She spoke the messages of GOD to crowds in the sinful states of Rhode Island, Conn‘*ecti- cut. She made a start at establishing a “New jerusalem" in the Genesee district of New York State on the west side of Lake Seneca at Penn Yan near the western head of land owned by her followers were held and worked communally until self-interest entered in. The burial place of “The Universal Friend,” like that of Moses, is hidden in Mystery. _ . - Then of course there were the visions of Joseph Smith, and the translation of the miraculously,-preserved golden plates of the Book of Mormon. These plates were seen and handled by eight witnesses, some of whom later left the Mormon movement but still declared true. the fact that they had seen and handled the golden plates. The plates were found by guidance of the angel Moroni where they had been buried in Cumorah hill just out- side of Palmyra, New York. That was the beginning of “The Latter Day Saints” or Mormons which now have their great center at Salt Lake City, Utah. This move- ment has a rich history. ‘ . , Also at Hydesville, Arcadia Township, thirty miles from -«Rochester in 1847 the Fox sisters began to set the world by its ears with reports of spirit communications and rappings. This was_the’ beginning of spiritualism in its modern manifestation. Today the Mecca of all good spiritualists is Lily Dale, near the western border of New York where the early home of the Fox sisters is pre- served as an exhibit. I At Chautauqua, New York, thirteen denominations interpreted. New York University provides academic credits for courses taken there. It has its Athenaeum, Knowers Ark and Palace Hotel and its “Chautauquan Daily” newspaper as Lily Dale has its‘ “D..ale,News.” 6 v THE SIMPLE LIFE AND TRUE RELIGION. What is the simple life? That is, of or in what does it consist? Plainly, the simplestimode of life is that by which one ’ freeshimself from all unnecessary considerations and’ activities. Is there then a rule or principle——one only—by which this can be achieved? ' Yes, there is; and like all the best things, it is by no means new or little known—that is, in theory, as a teaching. In fact, so generally known is it and so often preached, that one hesitates to present it again. Never- theless, whatever will aid us in making its practicality more clear and convincing and its use more widespread, is worth while. ' In his book, “What Is Religion .7”, the famous Russian writer, Tolstoi, says that a man’s religion is that prin- ciple by which he guides his conduct, and that it must unite the life of man with the Inﬁnite Life or it is not a religion. He also says that man must recognize his rela- tionship to GOD as a Son and to his fellowmen as a brother.‘This means that man must recognize and put into practice the law of equality—-—the equalmrights of all men. i"I'h-e author writes at length of the reason for the in- equality which is so marked in the conditions of this present time; the desire of men to secure and maintain ‘certain advantages for themselves. But what is not so generally realized, is the means by which this purpose is achieved. This is the establishment of religious leaders who strive to hold men in the belief that they are the necessary go-betweens for the understanding of God’s commands to man. These leaders not only use the power they thus acquire for ‘their own advantage but they also thereby aid those who wish to live in luxury at the expense of other men's labor. I This is all contrary to Christ's teaching, as we know; for He said, “Call no man your father,” and “Neither be ye called masters.” One conclusion is clear then; the brotherhood of man, which must include the "Golden Rule,” is the solution of the problem. So simple is this precept that it might seem difficult to draw men's minds away from it, which was necessary to persuade them to accept the inequality under which the "less fortunate” sulier. But this was accomplished by those whom the “common people” were persuaded to ‘accept as their religious leaders, who based their claims on the authority delivered to the disciples by Christ previous to His ascension. We know how the people have been kept in subordination by the teaching that-their condition was “God’s will”. Tolstoi also shows how men of our day delay the re- turn to the simple rule of conduct and law of human re- lations by "beating about the bush”. Many who sincerely desire the improvement of the circumstances of their fe_llowme_n generally, are so satisﬁed with the advantages — Tfh I D.:A:Y I which modern science has brought to man, that they feel religion of any kind i.s no longer necessary or desir- ‘ able; that science will do for man all that is. desired. This belief leads them to utterly ignore religious teach- ings and also to study more and more, scientiﬁc phen- omena and processes. In so doing they work all around the ‘main object and fail to see thedirect path to the solution of the whole problem, the universal adoption- of the Golden Rule. - The practice of that principle alone will lead to the equality of man which is necessary to the simple life. However, this is a rule easy to understand but difficult to carry out in all situations‘. But we of the Peace Mis- sion Movement have the Great Example ever before us; ,so let us "lift up our eyes to the hills,” keep our minds unceasingly on the goal to be reached and work with ‘ all our heart, mind, soul and strength to also be living examples ‘of the Law.

A NOTE ON CONDITIONS IN CHINA "The root cause of poverty is the incredible waste of labor, for native peasants must devote forty days of toil to raising anacre of wheat, where an American farmer with his machines would. spendiless than a single day. "There will come a. day, I believe, when the militant Communism that is battling for the peasantry in South- ern China, will ﬁnd its way, in spite of Indian priests and English policemen, through the guarded passes of the Himalayas. A Five-Year Plan will sweep away the boundaries of the tiny ﬁelds; tractors will ‘hurry where the huinped bullocks dawdleto-day; electricity will'irr«i- gate the ﬁelds; and under the banyan tree where the village gathers, the radio will carry men's minds across the centuries that separate Benares from Moscow.

At the Banquet Table — 20 West I J5+h Street, New York City Monday Evening, September I3. £937 A. D. F. D. The Time: I :|i5 A. M.. Past Mic_lni.ght Mysteries! Sweet Mysteries of Heaven are given to the children of men in exchange for their misconception of the REAL, the TRUE and the PERFECT.'The Blessed LORD of Hosts, in His Condescension, has smiled upon this people, and has brought them unto HIMSELF, lead- ing them Gently day by day into the Paths of RIGHTE- OUSNESS, presenting them blameless in the midst of the Nations, and converting them unto HIMSELF. I FATHER DIVINE, the Great TRANSFORMER of men, has wrought miracles in the lives of millions. So astounding are these transformations in the individuals’ lives that even they themselves individually, cannot com- prehend them; but because of their obedience to GOD, and theirwillingness to- surrender their all,—-their lives as Living Sacriﬁces‘ unto their CREATOR, which is their reasonable duty, they have in return gained the Wisdom _ of GOD, and such information that is not available from any other Source but from GOD. Their lives have been made ANEW. Their mentality has been converted because they have followed‘ the Leadership of The GOOD SHEPHERD, and they have daily been taught by GOD. Through this Great MASTER MIND has come forth the valuable Lesson of “RELAXATION” to the children of men. Throughby the application hereof, mortality has diminished or decreased, and GOD’S OM- NISCIENCE has caused the understanding of man to increase. Through the Recognition‘-of the PERSON- --I:FIED LORD a NEW Creature is born in the place of the old mortal being whose life was destined -to corrup- ~-tior_'1_, death and the grave. In this Masterful MESSAGE, FATHER conﬁrms the affirmations of the true Disciples, which is best set.forth in the language of Christendom through the Inspira-’ tion of a familiar song: “I'll go where YOU want me to go, Dear Lord, .O’er mountain, or plain, or sea; I'll say what YOU want me to say, Dear Lord, I’ll be what YOU want me to be.” The same thought is conveyed in another Son_g of more recent time, which is frequently sung by the Angels: “I'm going all the way_ with FATHER, and I \ E will never turn back no more.” From hearts sincere, -they speak these words, meaning they will go all the way with FATHER from every imaginable and expres- sibele an_d inexpressible angle. Their ’life is hid in CHRIST, therefore, they are protected; they have noth- ing to fear. Hence, His Words to them, to those who are True and Faithful, mean more than life to them, for GOD’S Words are GOD. In Witness hereof, it is writ- ten: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was G10-D.” Thus, the Words of FATHER DIVINE stand FIRM forever. We thank YOU, OUR KING. The LORD speaks and sings as follows: "Let Me help you: Let ME‘help you, I will help you on your way Let ME help you: Let ME help you, I will help you on your way. I will help you day by day, I I will help you day by day, Let ME help you: Let ME help you, I will help your day by day. I will be your Light on the way, etc." PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace FATHER DEAR!” returned the Greeting from the Happy Throng.) . GOOD HEALTH! GOOD WILL! a GOOD AP- PETITE, with GOOD succfss and ALL PROSPER- ITY today; the sa.me by day as by night. When I call these qualities into expression, those of you who are will- ing and will LET ME, I will LET them be your portion and expressions as well as you have been the Expressers of the negative, undesirable and inconvenient. Those things that have been undesirable, tho-se things and ways that have not been convenient ‘for you, if you will LET ME, I will help you and cause undesirable things’ to be changed. This is accomplished by the LETTING. ‘Through harmonizing with My Thoughts, with My MIND, with My Ideas and with My Opinions, the very Spirit of MY PRESENCE will lift you over the undesir- able conditions and cause those things that have been undesirable to apparently be desirable. Now this does not mean to say you will learn to desire the undesirable things, but you will learn to produce the desirable things , in the place of the undesirable. For this cause we are rejoicing and we are exceedingly glad. Pay Cash As You Go I would like to say, there has been a question as to whether My Words stand FIRM concerning different 9.45, -*0-* A things, such as houses and land—real estate. I would like to -say when I say, "Not one of My Followers would buy anything on instalment plan nor on credit, I mean they will no-tjbuy land nor houses on instalment plan.” If -real estate is purchased with a mortgage on it, so long as the mortgage does not, by any means, cover the amount of the full value of the property, you may be justified in purchasing a piece of property with a mort- gage on it, and even not pay it off just then, but what ILAM speaking about is, buying property or anything else. on instalment plan, is not according to My‘Pur- pose, My Endeavors, neither is it expressing nor re- ﬂeeting the standard that I have lifted for the children ofimen. I say "PAY CASH as you go.” Buy nothing on credit nor on instalment plan. If you are not purchasing per- sonal property on instalment plan, you should not pur- chase real property on instalment plan. The way can be made whereby you can purchase real property without buying it on instalment plan, if it is necessary for you. to purchase such property, that you might not be en- cumbered with obligations, such as usually will be brought upon-you by purchasing on instalment plan. Qualify Yourselves I mention this, because the question has come forth for consideration. Now there are those who are anticipat- ing going up in the part of the country commonly known as "The Promised Land.” We know there is none of our property—in other words, the real Followers’ prop- erty——-purchased on instalment plan. All of the property is purchased cash, or only—or about one of the pieces had a small mortgage on it, but this is done to assure yourself. and others of your real protection against failure. If you own your piribperty, and will keep up the ex- penses, the taxes and other obligations, naturally you are safe. It is not possible for you to lose if you know your investment is much less than the actual value of the property, as it has been in a great measure among soII1€_ of My Followers, but if you buy property on credit, trying to pay as rent and yet claiming to pur- chase such property, you may bring yourself into such an obligation whereby you may not be able to meet these payments, and if you are not able to meet these payments, it is as if though you are an unjust debtor, a credit-debtor. For this cause, I say, if you desire to go up to the part of the country commonly known as “The Spiritually. » Prove Your Independence If you desire to purchase property up there, the Spirit of MY PRESENCE can Bless you and make it possible way, or by ways aind means to pay for such property as . you mayselect for your own. If you do, why such can be classed or called “The Promised Land,” but we do not consider any part of these places as "The Promised The NEW DAY Promised Land” qualify yourselves ﬁrstly mentally and. for you to have means to meet such obligations in the Land,” if such is purchased on credit or on the instal- ment plan. _ ‘Firstly I wish to say, unless it is for a purpose, you would not even so much as buy property and give a mortgage, for you obligate your property to that degree whereby it is encumbered with that mortgage. Of course, if it is a small mortgage, which is much less than the » actual value of the property, what we may term it to be, a small fraction of the value of the property, and your property for rent will much more than cover that mort- gage, and pay all of the taxes also, such a proposition would not be so inconvenient and unproﬁtable; but I wish to stress this-point vividly, that you all might con- sider it, if you desire to be up in Ulster County, com- monly known as “The Promised Land,” do not buy any- thing on credit nor on instalment plan. PAY cash as you go, according to My custom. Express yourselves inde- pendently as well as decently and self-respectingly—in other words: prove your independence, the independence that our country declared for you, ‘and every other American Subject. Prove your independence by produc ing it in yourself. ‘ Express the Nature of the Kingdom Oh, it is a privilege to realize what it really means to be a part of anything. If you are representing the Kingdom as a Spiritual Movement, you should express the Characteristics and the Nature of the Kingdom. The Characteristics and the Nature of the Kingdom and the Movement generally should be expressed in each and every individual individually. That is why Jesus the CHRIST, the Son said: "The Kingdom of GOD is within you.” Each Subject of the Kingdom of GOD, the imaginary Kingdom of GOD, should produce the Qualities, the properties of the real and visible Kingdom equivalently the same. Those of you who are real Subjects of the Kingdom of GOD here and now, you should produce all of the Qualities and the Attributes, the Expressions, the Characteristicts and the Nature generally of the Kingdomof GOD within you; When this is accomplished, you can go forth as an abstract expression as a Sample and as an Exanilplei reflecting and actually manifesting the Kingdom; :.Aren-"t you glad?'Hen'ce, we wish to- produce the PERFECT‘ state of expression, byfirstlynproducing‘ it wi~th‘i.nlIou’r- selves mentally. When ‘these Qualities are produced and brought to fruition in ourselves individually, We can in- dividually express and reflect, yea, even manifest the real Kingdom on earth. Each individual will be an out.- spoken Word of the TRUTH concerning the CHRIST and the Kingdom of GOD. Aren’t you glad? Then I say, if you "are Followers of ME, you will not go erroneously,-—you will not be led erroneously-which- ever. You will not tolerate any individual not individuals leading you in opposition to the FUNDAMENTAL for which you stand. The FUNDAMENTAL for which you stand is nothing less than GOD Inculcated and Reincarnated, yea, Personified in the hearts and lives of r4 September 23 the children of men,——at least, among them, in the midst of them. . ' The Spirit of America For this cause I request the honor of each and every person to produce such a quality, as will cooperate har- moniously with My Versions, with My Ideas and with My Opinions. When you produce these Qualities and manifest them, then and there you can" be classed as a Subject of the Kingdom. ' The Subjects of the United States of America, as a Suybjectgof this country, they should produce in reality, all of the Qualities and the Spirit and the Understand- ing and -the Nature and the Characteristics of the Con- stitution of the country ;~—not only producing these _of the Constitution, but produce the same of the Declara- tion of Independence. As with an individual, so with a Nation and as with a Nation, so with an individual. Let us live in this Recognition and produce all of the Qualities and the Characteristics of the country, such as are Evangelical. Those qualities that are not Evangelical, let us convert them to RI-GHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and JUSTICE by this Great Conversion. That is what the true Spirit of Evangelism came for. It came to America through the Condescension of the INFINITE that it might Evangelize America and convert America into and unto RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and true unselﬁsh- ness. Thus, when it is manifest in reality, the Spirit of Americanism will become to be an abstract and out- ward expression of true Evangelism. Bring to Fruition the Perfect Picture America could by no means criticize the Light of this TRUTH that I have Personified. Through My Con- descension, I AM-the outward expression, yea, the Personification of true Americanism brought to fruition and truly converted into RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and jJU,ST'ICE. :1 set‘ forth the different Assemblies as an abstract ex- pr'ess-iion-. as a Sample and as an Example actually observ- ableiithat. mankind might see and know what it really. means to -have a free access to express volitionally, if you are,,;,truly- converted to the PERFECT PICTURE, the. PERFECT IDEA. When you are expressing volitionally, it -will give you a chance to bring to fruition the Spirit of that PERFECT PICTURE on which you have been concentrating. Since you have focused your thoughts vividly on the PERFECT PICTURE, CHRIST as being termed by the Religions, especially the Christian Reli- gion, “JESUS,” the reproduction of that identical Character should be brought to fruition in you as an _ individual. , — When this is manifested in you, under the Constitu- tion-in America, as being termed "the Expresser of Americanism,” it will bring Americanism into the Spirit and the Life of true Evangelism, and the very Spirit of "America will be truly converted, and will go forth into all other countries, carrying the Message of Salva- The-«N-EW D/tyi. . A tion unselﬁshly, but expressing it for the good of others as did Jesus the Great Love-Master. Talking Oath on the Bible Why is it all of the Countries take the Oath of Office by the Bible? It is for the specific purpose of bringing the Government, yea, as it may be termed, the Govern,- ments of civilization into subjection to GOD under whatsoever Religion or whatsoever Teaching maybe most distinctly expressed. GOD in RIGHTEOUSNESS and unselﬁshness shoulid be recognized; therefore, they are sworn in by the Bible, by the Name of ‘GOD, or by some such expression :———that is, to bring all of ‘the powers of the earth that be into subjection to “the God," as they term it to be, "of Heaven.” Why do we say, "as they term it to- be?” It is be- cause they class. God in Heaven—"the God of Heaven" —above every other God, “though there be Gods many." For this cause we stress the significance of also bringing ourselves into subjection to the God of their imaginary Heaven, and bringing all of the perfected state of ex- pression from that imaginary Heaven to the Earth Plane; bringing the government of the imaginary Heaven to the Earth, causing the earth to- be brought into subjection to it. Aren’t you glad? (“So Glad!” echoed the voices of the multitude.) By this, the King- dom will come. This is the only way the Kingdom of GOD can actually come. The Version of Perfection The Kingdom is not in expression saving as the powers of the Earth Plane are brought into subjection to the Kingdom of Heaven. When they are brought into subjection to the laws, rules and regulations of Heaven, and the very Characteristics and the Nature, yea, the rules and regulations of that imaginary Heaven, are brought to the Earth Plane and all of the earthy rules and regulations are converted to the Heavenly Dominion, then and there you can see distinctly the Heaven coming. When the Heaven is coming into expression, when you can recognize the Heaven as it is coming forth into expression by observation, you may call it "The Kingdom,” as was termed "The Kingdom”_by Jesus and the Disciples. Thiswas stressed, for it was under- stood by all of the civilized world “The Heaven” was. a place of the Dominion and Abode of the ALMIGHTY. I say, “The ALMIGHTY,” “The ALL.-POWERFUL," “The ALL-WISE,” "The ALL-KNOWING,” such an expression brought into subjection to a Supreme Ver- sion,——the version of PERFECTION. " "Thy Kingdom Come" A When this is established in the mentality and con- sideration of all humanity, then they look forward for the Coming of the Kingdom. Jesus as a Predictor and an Expresser, yea, a Forecaster, came as an Individual re- questing the disciples and others to pray to let Thy Kingdom come;—which, in short, it could have been said: “Oh GOD! will YOU come down? Come down here and have Your Dominion here,” The dominion: T"Iit"'._e N15. Y - ii of fharr is not a Just‘ andga Righteous and a Holy.do~rn"i- nion, therefore, Oh GOD!‘ let Your Dominion come, .by YOU coming and be Ye selected. Let us as well’ as others select YOU‘ a'n"d‘_elect YOU as LORD' of lords _ and KING of king's.” , K 4 It could have been said: “We desire to expr'ess'YOU. Wédesire‘ to be brought into subjection t'o‘YaOU. We no lfonger‘ d'es_.i‘re to have others have dominion over us.” Why? ‘,‘For they are i1njust.. They will not judge us with EQFJI-TY.” For this cause there was atpetition to the $UP‘R-EME MIND, to the ALMIGHTY, to the ALL- ‘.POWEvR~FUL,y although invisible apparently, this Dominiori Come into expression by YOU coming down in the consideration of all of the Powers of the earth. They must recognize YOU.” By so doing, the KING was recognized, selected and ielectedi and errthrgorred on the minds of rinillions, through ‘Chrilstendom. Aren’t you glad? This is the way CHRIST was to come ;—cor_n- ing down on a great cloud of Witnesses. Aren’t you». glad? Coming down on a great cloud of Witnesses in 1 children of» men. the mid-air, and here HE is in the midst of the wh-a7tsoever,..or in no ‘way w’hatsioeve’r", that pf be converted when :thevMystery is revealedgand »w_ A speak and explain from; the angle of expression fwh. that person is observing ME. “ . \ ‘~‘;,:~:--. : If I. speak in your own_ version« you will stand ME.

Naturally, man would not have considered CHRIST would have wanted the KEY to "The Other‘ Place" and of Death. The Religions without this understanding would be running from “the KEY to the Other Plac€,” and the KEY to Death. They would be running from going into such an undesirable place of expression, because as I said in the beginning of this Message, that which is apparently undesirable be- coming to be apparently desirable. Why? Because the, DESIRABLENESS of the desirable will be brought into outer expression and the undesirable you can see dis- pelling by the recognition of the DESIRABLE coming into evidence. A.ren’t you glad? The Transforming Grace of Him Who Liveth / Forever It matters not where I AM, there will, be HAPPI- NESS, there will be'PEA-CE, there will be JOY, there will be PLEASURE, for the very Spirit and PRESENCE of MY MAJESTY in Mercy and Compassion will-bring a desirable coridition in expression where it had not been in evidence. Aren’t you glad? This has been plainly explained in the act of My Doings in and at the time of depression, when the world Universally, especially in the world of civilization, when there were great depres- sions throughout this land and all other civilized coun- tries, lacks and wants and depressions and hardships and miseries were all in expression and in evidence, I came into the co-nsideration of millions, from that time up until this one (time), and I brought to the conscious recognition and the realization of millions the desirable and pleasant and satisfying portion for each and all of those who were expressing the undesirable,——showing you conclusively, there is no place of misery in reality. All such places are turned into HAPPINESS. All such places. are turned into PLEASURE by the TRANS-, FORMING Grace of HIM Who: liveth, forever. “This is an abstract and an outward expnession of it. At, the time of so-called depression, lacks, wants and limitations, at the time of the different epidemics that were existing among this people, I came forth into ex- pression ‘more distinctly observable, at the very time of such\é~xpressions that mankind might observe the Mys- tery that HE Who has the KEYS of the Kingdom of Heaven, HE also has the KEYS to the undesirable ex- pressions, and will change? them and bring them into subjection to RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUSTICE. ' At the very time that the tides are high in the Spiritual Realm of Expression, then and there is the time the ad- verse and undesirable expressions, are in evidence. At the time the u'n.des’i_r€ble~. eikpressiqns are." expressing TRUTH and g T~h“e’NEW DAY . l 11' greatly, which make folks sore afraid, the very Spirit of MY PRESENCE will come forth into expression and will express distinctly once and forever while such con- ditions are in evidence, the desirable supremely. That is the reason for the Word being handed down from ages to this one: "GOD is ALMIGHTY” even though "the other fellow” is mighty. GOD is ALL-WISE even though “the other fellow”, is wise. I This thought is made known by your personal ex- perience with ME. The adverse and undesirable expres- sions may be apparently great among the people, then and there’ -GOD will express Supremely, surmounting .those things and conditions that they are bringing on among this people. That is why My Followers can say and do say distinctly “HE is GOD.” They say it, because conditions are surmounted, circumstances are always met with the supremacy of such conditions and expres- sions. GOD in evidence reflects HIMSELF as PERFEC- TION from every angle expressible; therefore, they are obliged to declare it, for the more great the adverse and undesirable conditions, the greater the Unfoldment of the Spirit that will be, and that Spirit which is in opposition,—I mean, in opposition to the negative and to the undesirable. As one brought this thought for con- sideration: “Submit yourselves therefore to GOD. Resist ‘the other fellow’ and he will ﬂee from you.” The Light of This Understanding Dispels Doubt and Fears F Whatsoever it may be that is commonly known by the Religions, “the other fellow,” such undesirable expres- sions will disappear from among us when GOD is in evidence and expressible. GOD is always expressible, but when HE is actively expressing HIMSELF in His Actions and telling them HE is on the scene, by expressing and manifesting HIMSELF as the SUPREME, by this you can see other conditions dispelling and disappearing when the PERFECT PICTURE is seen. It is the same as the Light of the Sun: I mean the S-U-N Sun; when the S-U-N Sun is apparently rising in the Morning, espe- cially in the East, you cannot see the stars so plainly, can you? ("No FATHER!” agreed the Assembly.) So it is ‘with all undesirable conditions, when the Light of this UNDERSTANDING'is made observable,-—coming forth on the horizon of your understanding, all of the dark clouds of doubts and fears and even the light and lights of the night of your understanding will disappear. “The night has a thousand eyes and the day but One,’-’ yet the Light of the whole life, it is disappearing with the rising Sun. \‘(/hen the Sun is risen in reality, the lights that have been giving light for you and others disappear completely, for the Light of this UNDER- STANDING transcends such limited lights of expres- sion, and consumes all of these limited lights, and they are no longer observable. It must needs be an expres- sion greatly surpassing the limited. Why? For if it did not greatly surpass the limited, why someone would 12 ‘w ~ . s - -Th.é1NiEWi“.I)‘A-Y.v . September 23‘ depend the limited instead of depending‘ on the INFINITE. Then I say: . - » ' “GOD is ALMIGHTY.” Man may be mighty, yea, “the other fellow” as it may be termed, may be mighty, but GOD is ALMIGHTY. Every negative expression, the more dark and undesirable such expressions are, the more distinctly and desirable can GOD express in opposition to them. By you presenting your bodies as Living Sacri- ﬁces to GOD the ALMIGHTY, the undesirable will dis- appear at the PRESENCE of the PERFECT‘ and the DESIRABLE coming into expression. Then I say, "CREATE within yourself the desirable and allow the Sunlight of this UNDERSTANDING to rise on the horizon of your understanding," there and then, all of your limited lights for your dark night of misery and misunderstanding will disappear into their nothingness,, and the LIGHT of GOD’S Bright Sunlight of UNDER- STANDING will shine all over your world. "Have Faith in GOD, the Sun Will Shine" This is accomplished by harmonization—harmoniz- ing with the INFINITE and allowing the Sun to rise. As the Composition says: “Have Faith in GOD, the Sun will rise,”—-in other words, “The Sun will shine, ‘Though dark the clouds may be today. His Heart has planned,” the Composer says, ‘;'Your path and Mine, — Have Faith in GOD, have Faith always.” The Sun will shine, it matters not how dark the clouds may be, an-d the darker the night, the brighter the Light. "Glory in tribulations, knowing this, that tribulation worketh patience.” I delight in driving an automobile a real dark night: the darker the night the brighter the light; therefore, your lights ‘will be more bright apparently when the night is dark exceedingly. ‘ How marvelous it is to know the TRUTH from a scientiﬁc point of vielw, and speak and explain things to yourself and to others that they might be psycho- logically and logically understood, for whatsoever I say to you is logical as well as psychological. I thank you. THE POWER OF MUSIC ‘There is.an ancient saying which has been much quoted, “Music hath power to. soothe the savage breast” ——or "beast”— it does not matter which word is used; for one is as signiﬁcant as the other and as true. It 15 well known that ‘animals of many species respond to music, although not always in the same way. An out- standing example is the snake. In the Orient it is no uncommon sight see snakes charmed by their owners playing on musical pipes. In Greek mythology Orpheus was related to have charmed animals with the music of his lyre and even the ’st'ones.“ ‘means “kingdom,’ Music is mentioned in the Bible many times and a conspicuous example of its power is given in the story of David driving away the evil spirit from King Saul by playing o-n the harp. The apostles lifted their spirits as well as their voices in song. You will remember the instance of Paul and Silas singing in the prison just be- fore their deliverance therefrom. Later on in the history ‘of the Christian church music was pronounced "the handmaid of_ religion,” and probably all the great reli- gious leaders and reformers recognized it as such. While the development of music was going on in the church, the people had their secular music also. The leisure class. retained persons skilled in the music of their time to entertain them on formal occasions or whenever they felt a desire ‘to hear it. Some of this class also learned to perform skilfully on various instruments. The workers in all trades had their musicians also and Valued the cultivation of music highly, in some countries having guilds for that purpose. One of the most noted of these was the Master singers of Nuremburg, immortalized by Richard Wagner in his beautiful opera of that title. The people in this class—the “common people”—cheered their lives with singing at their work and the music of violins, woodwind and humbler instruments after the day's work was done and on efeastdays and holidays. Why is music always considered essential for parades? Because the music inspires the marchers. Great social movements have their songs expressing their spirit and aims. National unity is aided by the songs of a nation and although the words alone may arouse the desired spirit or emotion, the music enables the people to unify themselves more readily in that spirit. From the external and scientiﬁc viewpoint, .music is vibration. The followers of FATHER DIVINE well know what raising the vibrations means and doubtless all realize ‘that the music of the meetings plays a large part in accomplishing this aim. When they are not in a meeting of any sort also they frequently use this means of contacting the, Spirit and liftingﬂthemselves out of undesirable sta'tesi_oif mind or e"m,6‘itii_jii.'i’ It has been the opinion of some musicians‘ithat the Kingdomof Heaven is to be brought about by the use’-of the harmonious vibrations of music. AMERICA What does the name America signify? In school we learned that we owe the name “America” to an Italian geographer named “Americus Ves-pucius.” Pro-f. Mis- kovsky of Oberlin College tells us that the word “Amer- ica” is simply another form of the Gothic words “Amel Ric” ‘which appears today in the German name of "Emerich.” The “Amel” means “heaven” and the "Ric” ’ in German “Reich.” In modern Ger- man the equivalent for “Ame-l-Ric” is “Himmelreich,” meaning “The Kingdom of Heaven.” That also isvthe meaning of AMERICA — THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN ONEARTIH. ‘ r LET. .US tn.-m, . ___A - ...n..._................-.._..._,.-.... 4< . .__. ___ I FATHER Replies l‘o.an Inquiry PEACE September 13, 1937 A.

The Spirit of Prophecy foretelling of a. day when Right~ eousness would ﬁll the earth and all mankind would be the Sons and Daughters of Righteousness, and sin and wickedness would be no more, is indeed b-irthing upon the world, for even as the Spirit moved out over the face of the Deep and dry land appear‘ed—~dry‘land being the outward. expression of the materialization of the Spirit, ‘so is Righteousness moving out over the face of the Earth, outwardly manifesting and materializing the Spirit of the same. Today, Righteousness is covering the earth in fuﬁlment of the mystery of long ago.’ The world is experiencing a revolution of thought, of deed and of action. It is vibrat- ing with a new Spirit, and standing in the midst o-f a people who are stirring in a new atmosphere, for they are movng in the Spirit of Righteousness, Justice and Truth. Opposing forces to prohibit the Work of God are at work, but such also is revealed in the Prophecies of old. However, Righteousness Marches On, and as a great magnet, it is drawing unto itself the Spirit of its own, and it is extending its control upon all that may resist, for -the powers that be of the earth are earthy, hence limited and destined to be consumed in this great current of the Power of Righteousness, Justice and Truth, as RIGHTEOUSNESS MARCHES ON. Therefore, as the Spirit of MY Life and the Life of MY Spirit transforms men and women into new beings, and they no longer dwell in the tents of wickedness and in the darkness of sin, vice and crime, Righteousness is ﬁlling the earth, standin.g among men, the Power that ever shall be and that shall reign throughout Eternity.

An excerpt from one of his speeches on this subject follows: “You ought to thank GOD to-night if, -regardless of your years, you are young enough in spirit to dream dreams and see visions——dreams and visions about a greater America that is to be; if you are young enough in spirit to believe that poverty can be greatly lessened; that‘the disgrace of involuntary unemployment can be wiped out; that class hatreds can be done away with; that peace at home and abroad can be maintained; and that one day a generation may possess this land blessed beyond anything we know_with those things—material and spiritual—that make man’s life abundant. “If that is the fashion of your dreaming, then I say, ‘Hold fast to your dream. America needs it.’ " Mr. President, we will not only dream but do—we will stand and work, not for the mere lessening of poverty but for its complete abolition. We are not con- tent merely to dream that “one day a generation may possess this land,” but we are determined that it shall come to pass in this generation. What goodwould the Kingdom of Heaven on earth be——if it merely Continued to be a rosy dream to become a reality only in future generations where it has for thousands of years re-, mained? -We will stop at nothing short of the estab- lishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, now-in this generation.

Walsh _ It seems hardly believable that during the last year the nation lost more people as a result of automobile acci- dents than were killed in the American Expeditionary Forces during the last year of the World War. But, un— fortunately, this statement is t-rue. Nearly 38,000 persons were killed and more than 1,000,000 injured during the last year as a result of automobile accidents. I What are we going to do about this steadily mounting toll of automobile accidents? We know thata large per centage of them are preventable. We have ‘been steadily improving the safety of our highways by building safer roads; we have been tryingito make our automobiles safer and more foolproof by improving brakes; steering mech anism, lights and other safety devices; we have been im» proving our traffic regulations and their enforcement through the adoption of model legislation in many states. Regular inspections of motor vehicles have been con» ducted to eliminate defective mechanism and, as a result, many thousand cars have been ruled. off the road. But with all the commendable work on the part of -the state, the cities and towns, the motor vehicle is still a great hazard. While we have been making our highways and motors nearly foolproof we have not had as good success in. making our motorists and pedestrians foolproof. The responsibility is clearly up to us to assist the Police Department's Campaign in reducing traffic accidents whether or not we drive a car‘. This means that every motorist has a real duty placedgupon him or her to im»‘ prove his or her driving and every pedestrian just as important a-responsibility to watch his own safety. More courtesy on the highways is needed, for with increased ~ courtesy in driving come fewer accidents. 13' P The NEW DAY THE SON MAN THAT THOU I’ VISITEST HIM?"

Day after day in endless array, fresh from the inex’ haustible Fount of GOD”S Omniscience, scintillating with the dewrdrops of Justice, yet vibrating with Inﬁnite Love, the most profound Messages of Spiritual Scientiﬁc Truth come from the lips of our Immaculate Saviour, FATHER DIVINE, as a free gift to the world. Tuesday, September 7th, after midnight, was not an exception, but if such could be, the vibrations rose higher than usual as FATHER went deeper into the mysteries of Creation, and made them plain. for all to see. Preceding this Message, one who had been at times high in the Spiritual vibrations, and also close to FATHER Personally, testiﬁed in effect as follows: She asked FATHER to forgive her for not being in perfect harmony at all times, and for ‘being stubborn and contrary, but ex’ plained that she could not help ‘it. She said that the one who had‘ been her supposed. “mammy” had had such a disposition and through inheritance it had co-me upon HER, so that_at times it was just like a person taking hold‘ of her and causing her to act that way. From this she asked to be delivered. I Responding almost immediately, FATHER Spoke Per’ sonally as follows: THANK YOU FATHER “PEACE EVERYONE! GOOD HEALTH, GOOD WILL and a GOOD APPETITE, ALL WISDOM, ALL KNOWLEDGE, and a GOOD UNDERSTANDING, with ALL JOY, PEA:CE, HEALTH and HAPPINESS, —~to you I bring. While Speaking a little while ago,—in other words making an announcement,——I Thought of how marvellous it is to know the Scientiﬁc Truth concerning yourself and concerning mankind generally. Just think of how you all are assembled here this Morning in the unity of expression, of emotions and actions, in the unity of thoughts and in the unity of mind. The outward expres» _sion of your personal presence is showing mankind in reality, there is a reality in the unity of spirit and the unity of mind. You are attracted together andyou are drawn together. Firstly you are attracted together mentally and spiritually by thinking; something in common, and that something causes you to think and‘ causes you to \ imagine, as I may term it to be‘, that one thing together, and as you think and as yourrimaginatio-n is in common, V your very bodies come forth into expression and appear on the scene in one common manner of expression. Nighf Turned Info Br'ig'h+ Noonday For this cause you are assembled here not only this Morning but every EVENING and MORNING, as it was in the Beginning,——“the evening and the morning were, the ﬁrst day”. Every EVENING and MO‘RN~ .ING,—~ in the evening from ten until morning comes, and in the morning right on until two, three and four. Retrace your thoughts back to the Scripture. As "it was in the Beginning, in the actuated language of the Writer, the evening and the morning was in consideration. The EVE’ NING and the morning! It is not Written, the morning and the evening. ‘Can you not see the Nature of GOD reproduced’? Can you not see the Nature of the Spirit and the Mind. of GOD reiterating through His reiterated Nature, His Expression, His Characteristics, and calling your attention in the actuated words of expression to the EVENING and the MORNING as it was in the begin» ning. Aren’t: you glad! This you had no thought of! In our modern Civilization we usually say, the morning and the evening, but today you can plainly see I have turned your night into bright noon~day, I have turned: your dark» ness into Light, and I have driven all of your fears away. Then I Say, the EVENING and the MORNING, as it; was in the Beginning,~-this is the ﬁrst Day and yet this is the Seventh Day. Aren’t you glad! The Spirif of GOD'S Power Moves On Upon this trend of thought; we will travel from Genesis as it may b_e termed, to Ezekiel, and pause there once for consideration that you might observe the mystery -of the reality of GOD”S- ACTUAL PRESENCE in fulﬁllment’ , of the Scripture by reiterating no-t only the fulﬁllment of the Scripture but the “repeation” of the history, that as the Scripture predicted, in the fulﬁllment of the Scripture history would be repeated. Aren”t. you glad"! As in the days of Moses so it is today, “GO-D Spake, yea, GOD‘ Speaks twice,——ﬁrstly once and then He Speaks in the language of men that they might hear Him. But through His condescension He came on a common level with them at times, but they failed to hear Him. It is essential from time to time for GOD to come down in the Tabernacle and let His Glory shine around. GOD Spoke through the mouth of Moses, the Prophets and others, but the people would not hear them. They would not hear Him as it may be termed, because He was speak» ing through the children of men in the likeness of them. But through His condescension He canie Speaking in the likeness of men, in the act.uated language that they might understand it-; but refusing to observe the mystery and accept of the Message, GOD would Speak further‘ again, September - 23 , "WHAT IS MAN THAT THOU ART MINDFUL OF HIM OR *."?:’:.«"""-"C"3':"?"-'.’7«1"3IPﬂ&:‘:".”"<" if "" September 23 and in a more distinct expression of His Supremacy, that mankind might understand it or hear and observe it. But at times they would not hear until GOD thundered down from Mount Sinai. When GOD thundered down from Mount Sinai even the Earth quaked and trembled, and those who dwelt thereon were sore afraid. Aren’t you glad! But the Spirit of GOD’S Power moves on, knowing man must hear His Voice. “If you hear My Voice and harden not your heart, I will come in.” "All Souls Are Mine" Then man thought within himself as the Adamic state of consciousness still do, or still does whichever,——it con» tinues to think as Ezekiel declaredl,—I Say and I verify the same,——“What mean ye that ye use this proverb con’ cerning the Land of Israel, saying, the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children’s teeth are set on edge? As - I Live, Says The Lord Almighty,.you will have no longer an occasion to use this Proverb; all souls are Mine Says The Lord, the soul of the father and the soul of the son is Mine; you have no longer an occasion to use this Proverb . . . . If a man will do that which is just and right and hath not eaten upon the mountains . . . . " I will not go on to reiterate all of the abominable things that mankind actually will do, or what. they do, but I will Say enough to you to let you see and know the thing . you MUST do. If he sees, or can see, his father’s errors and turn from them, “he shall surely live, Says The Lord Almighty". This you ‘will find in the Eighteenth Chapter of Ezekiel for consideration. This was before the coming of JESUS as a Person to bring the Message of Redemption to man» kind. It was there on record, given without the Saviour as Salvation to mankind, that they might see and know, if they will not class themselves with those with whom they have been connected, and will lif-t themselves even through the moral birth of a regenerated state of expres« sion, they will have no longer an occasion to use this proverb in the Land of Israel saying,——-“My father has eaten sour grapes and my teeth are set on edge.” This was made plain even before I came in the Person and the Name of JESUS. By coming in the Person and the 'Name of JESUS I Declared, “Except a man be Born again he cannot. see the Kingdom of GOD.” Lose Your Idenﬁfy In this Degree of unfoldment in which I am now ex’ pressing, I have shown you conclusively, distinctly, once throughout My Personal existence among you consciously in your consciousness as a Living Reality, you should con« sider once. and forever, if you see that which is just and right and good, and will do those things, you are no longer identiﬁed with the former for you are a New Creature. -If you claim. to be OF ME, I have shown you conclusively the distinct work you. should do,~—-lose your identity from mortality, for you are a New Creature if you are OF ME. , So long as you live in that Adamic state of con» sciousness§ and claiming the former. according to the flesh», The NEW DAY '19 those with whom you have been connected will be irnr posed upon you and their inﬁrmities will be upon you and their iniquities also. There is no pity, there is no sympathy, there is nothing to be sympathetic for under such a condition, for I have shown you conclusively, if you see something is wrong, if you will but turn from it, you can if you wish to. If you see a pit, you need not go jump in it. If you jump in it you are to blame for it, and nobody else but you. If you do not know, it is a different thing, but I have Spoken too plain for any individual to err in the Light of this Understanding I have so freely given. If you see your errors, your own, and turn from them,—~refrain from action of expression even though your words of action may be persisten.t,—if you refrain from your words of action and recognize something superior and supreme as the Supreme, then and there you will LET GO AND LET GOD come in. Fast from Mortal Tendencies Why have I stressed the thought so much concerning one fasting? Fast from your human fancies, tendencies and pleasures! Fast from your self—indu1gences! Fast from your preconceived ideas and opinions! Fast from all of your mortal tendencies, and such kind of “other fellows” will come OUT of you. But of course if you choose YOURSELF’ as GOD,—-that is what. you are doing when the question comes forth into a.ction to perform an act in opposition, of word, or emotion, or expression, to the Fundamental, and you stand in opposition to the Funda» mental, you have accepted of YOURSELF as GOD, in. preference to GOD of Whom you say I Am. It is Writteii,———“If you see your fathers’ errors and turn from them, you shall surely live,” but do not say you see them unless you do see them. But: when you do see them you will SAY you see them, and when you see them, if you are willing and ready to make a surrender you will fast from every mortal fancy, and those detestable tenden— cies and characteristics will leave you if they have no place to dwell therein,. GOD In Mercy Came Oh it is a privilege to realize as you have said from time to time,—“In Love and Mercy FATHER Came.” It _is only through My Mercy and Compassion you are here to~day,—and especially such rebellious, crooked’ necked, and stiifnecked, rebellious, hateful and detestable tendencies that are lurking about you, and at times IN you. For GOD in Mercy came, having Compassion in every way of expression, to reach your condition merely to save you, for “What is man that Thou art mindful of him?” said one to Me,-—-“or the son of man that Thou visitest him?” I can hear the Spirit still Saying, “\\/"hat is man that Thou art mindful of him?” “In Thy Majesty Thou hast: truly come, and yet in Mercy and Compassion ‘ apparently to some, to lift you out of vice and crime and out of the slums, that you might be one with Him; ' and such ', mortal detestable chara.cte_ristics‘ attempt to rise : ,.~v- -r-vw-..--~\.—..,.._ ..V..«--.~.v—\--~.>~»..

The NEW DAY in opposition, with the insigniﬁc.ance of the INSIGNIFI» CANT, and the nothingness of the INGRATES, to, rise in opposition to the Fundamental.” Go to the Extreme Reverse Look over yourselves, .and consider, it is only through Love and Compassion I have CONSIDERED mortality. I have explained and stressed continually, every detestable tendency will come out of you if it is in you, if you will fast from those tendencies and be persistent in your am- bition, and declare your deliverance by going to the ex» treme opposite to whatsoever those things would suggest. If you are prejudiced and have a prejudicial tendency, you should fast from that tendency persistently and go to the extreme opposite to whatsoever such a tendency or characteristic would suggest. By going to the extreme opposite of such, and by seeking diligently to ﬁnd some- thing wherein you could express the extreme opposite expression to that which might be a suggestion of such a detestable characteristic, that characteristic would leave you, if you are ‘persistent in your ambition and go to the extreme reverse continually. Every detestable and undesirable characteristic or ten» dency can be overcome. You can cast them out of your system, especially, when you know you are not GOD-. Why is it I say, when you know you are not GOD? It is because since I know Who I Am, and since you have declared the same, it would be hard for me to believe anything different from what My Own suggestion may express in Me. But when you know you are not the Scale of Justice, when you know you are not GOD, you know you have something to rely upon, and deny yourself con» cerning things that are not according to the Plans and the Purposes of GOD. Aren’t you glad! Go by the Fundamental You haveno occasion to stumble when something rises V within you in oppo-sition to the Fundamental, for you have accepted the Fundamental AS the ' FUNDA» MENTAL, and you have established it in your considera» tion in words and in actions as being the Scale of Justice upon which you must weigh every deed and action. When you ﬁnd these deeds and actions, or expressions, are in opposition to the Fundamental, then and there you know deﬁnitely you are wrong, because you have only to go by the Fundamental instead of going by yourself, when it is expressed in opposition to that which you have accepted as the Fundamental, as your Sample and as your Example. So you have no occasion to stumble, unlessiyou are con» vinced YOU are the Fundamental. If you are convinced you as a person are that Fundamental, then and there your thoughts may be expressed in your actions, and they may cause you to think deﬁnitely you are the Corrector and you are correct in everything you do or say or direct, because you have thought and perceived the idea that you are the Fundamental. But when you know you are not, you have a chance for copying after the Fashion‘ and ride yourself Qf: every, mgrtalftengdencyl: by knowing you-: ' 3'7 -' '§§?*".Z*'1‘— tr,’-'@3i'«"lL.V55-‘if«"ti3"Z7V3"C4"\?-‘4'\.‘C’\E?'W:'@‘-Q?~£:r September 23 are not the Perfect Picture, by refusing to copy after your own suggestions, your own fancies, pleasures, and your own tendencies. That is the mystery! "Flesh and Blood Cannot Inherit the Kingdom" Then I Say it is a privilege to live in the ACTUAL PRESENCE of GOD, for you have something to copy after, you have something to go by, you have no longer an occasion to use the proverb in Israel, talking about mortal’ ity, for it does not exist up here. This is it of which was spoken of in the Message concerning the Kingdom,’ “Flesh and ‘blood cannot. inherit -the Kingdom of GOD.” If you are connected with mortality it is plain to see it is a*’ matter of impossibility for you to be with Me, for ﬂesh and blood‘ cannot inherit the Kingdom of GOD. That is the mystery concerning ﬂesh and blood not inheriting the Kingdom of GOD. If you have relatives, kin, or any» thing pertaining to the ﬂesh after the mortal versions of men, it is a matter of impossibility for you to inherit Me, . it is a matter of impossibility for you to inherit the King dom of GOD. Even though you may have the. whole King» dom of GOD at your disposal and have the Angels of the Kingdom and the inhabitants of the Earth to serve you, yet you cannot rightfully inherit the Kingdom. of GOD and cannot enjoy GOD’S Presence, because ﬂesh and blood cannot inherit it. That is the mystery! ’ Detach Yourself from Mortal Versions But as I aforesaid, and still am Saying from time to time, as long as you can, ident.ify yourself in words, thoughts, deeds or actions with mortality with which you have been connec.ted, those persons and the spirit o-f them will be trailing you and willbe chasing you. But when you det.ach yourself from such tendencies and such a recognition, even the spirit: of them and their iniquities and inﬁrmities cannot ﬁnd you. If they ﬁnd you they cannot identify you, but by their own characteristics they have a right. to you. If you hold a man’s wealth or a man’s life in your hand *9 and you continue to produce his goods and multiplyv-it‘-7 and increase it, naturally.,he has an inheritance to you, o-r youare his inheritance and he has a rightto? you. He has a right physically, mentally and spiritually.~That,..is, the? mystery! And if he does not get youuone way he,w.ill . . get you the other! Now the only way to get rid of him is to let his goods go. Renounce everything connected with him and let go,——let them go,—-and if you do, and -will do a little more by detaching yourself from every mortal versionated expression or suggestion of such a detestable character and such a detestable characteristic, then, and there you will lose your identity, for they will not be ex» pressible within you. If they are expressible in you, why, they can identify you and their inﬁrmities can be upon you. Alive Unto GOD “A man is known by the company he keeps.” HOW Illélr" vellous it’ is to know you can lose your identity,———the mystery of the Scripture, yea the. Epist.le,—‘*You are dead: and your life is hid with CHRIST in GOD.".When you are dead and dead indeed" u,nto,__..-Isin, you *y_v,_1'l1-=. be alive Seotember 23 unto GOD through JESUS CHRIST your LORD. You will be so expressive in the New and the Living Way it- will be a matter of impossibility for you to be discerned and identiﬁed by the former. You will not be identiﬁed _ by the former even physically. Your physical body will lose your former identity and you will be hid so com» . pletely in the Inﬁnite it will be a matter of impossibility for such detestable characteristics to ﬁnd you. If in the world of existence, by the transmission of such character» istics, you would come in contact with them, they would not identify you. If you saw them and you knew them by former experience, it would be a matter of impossibility for them to identify you, for you would be a different expression in word's, deeds and actions, for you would be a New Creature in reality. That is the mystery! When you hear people speak of being a new creature in the Churches or Religions, they do not know deﬁnitely you SHOULD be a New Creature in reality. They think you should be the same old person, Mary Jones or John Jackson, or whatsoever you may have been,—— that same old man, that same old woman, that same old friend you ‘always have known and have always been. This is not true. If you are a New Creature you would have a new disposition, you would have new character istics, you would have new actions, you would have new expressions, you would even have new gestures, you would even have new emotions; -you would have new thoughts in the manner of thinking; you would have new ideas and new opinions. When this is accomplished within you, then and there you shall have lost your identity. You will be a New Creature in reality, and “the other fellow” cannot ﬁnd you. If “the other fellow” ﬁnds you, he'canr not identify you. You may see him going around to others, you may know him by the former experience of the house in which you are living by he being expressible at one time at that house when you as a guardian Angel were watching over your temple. .4 Be Your Guardian Angel You shouldbe that Angel that has been watching over you before you knew your GOD. That is why you are called Angels, because you are to be, or should be, the re— incarnated expression of that invisible Angel that was your guardian Angel. That is the mystery! You .are not Angels unless you are the reproduction of that Angelship degree of expression that was invisible,-——-that was guarding you and protecting you before you knew Me. You have heard in the different Religions,—“You have a guardian Angel,” -——a guardian, one who will guard you and protect you, and guide you and lead you. That Angel of the invisible Heaven is to be made a visible expression by reincarnation, and you are to be the reincarnator o-f such expression. Then and there you are an Angel. You are not an Angel unless you can reproduce and personify that invisible Angel that was your guardian,—that invisible Angel that has guardianed you, and led you, and" guided you safely on your way before you knew Me, as being invisible as - I -.‘j~a-.eIs~_..'‘ ' » "" The NEW DAY , 21 termed by character sketches, your CONSCIENCE; yet, that conscience in the perfect picture, the inner man, should. be an outward expression now. Then you are an Angel in reality and the former is no longer considered. That is the mystery! Aren’t you glad! Mystery of the Transﬁguration I wish to further convey this Thought to all of the in habitants of the Earth, to all Churches of different Reli» gioris, the-. mystery and the signiﬁcance of being translated. On the- Mount of Transﬁguration you ﬁnd the very ap» pearance of Moses came and the very appearance of Elijah came to JESUS. Was not this bespeaking the mys» I tery of the coming of the guardian Angel, as Moses brought the Law, and Elijah the Spirit of Prophecy? Each of them, as expressions of certain characters and character» istics to be manifested, that had been the expression o-f » Righteousness in their light of understanding,——each of them had to come to JESUS to enter into Him and into His expression, and He was to produce them and bring them into a higher light of understanding in the great translation. That is the mystery! So it is with you. The Spirit of My Impersonal Presence that has been with you leading and guiding you from an Angelship degree of expression, I have brought such an issue to your consideration that you might lose your personal identity and all of your mortal tendencies, and be New -Creatures in reality by reincarnation. By rein» carnation I Sa.y,——by reincarnating the Perfect Picture,»- that one that was termed your inner man became to be S the outward expression of your daily words, deeds and actions, that the former might be lost and the second might appear to reign forever. Manifest the Perfect Picture » Then I Say,—“He taketh away the ﬁrst that He may establish the second.” That is the mystery, for your inner man that has been with you for 10 these many years before you knew Me, that man of Whom you say I Am, from your angle of expression should be at least to the degree of an Angel, manifested. When you have put forth such an expression, then and there you are a New Creature in reality. Now you are called Angels, the Children of the Kingdom, because you are to be. If you are not the reincarnators of the Angelship degree of expression you should manifest the Perfect Picture in reality from that degree of unfoldment. If you do, you will not have an occasion to class yourself with the former, neither to be connected. mentally, for if you are connected mentally and allow yourself to be by such a recognition, you are disco-nr necting yourself with Me,~—from Me whichever,——and you s are connecting yourself with mortality, from which you cannot be free saving as you connect yourself with Me. , How marvellous it is to dwell together in unity! Words of expression have come forth from time to time,—motv_ toes for consideration such as that one on the wall,——— “Minds and attention, love and devotion, ideas and opinions, concentrated on the Fundamental.” This did not come forth for foolishness! Wlien I am striving to getyou .. 5+ .4, f‘*"-Ej .‘_‘E;§‘?§;‘:?.r;,,~;_3;_ -1:1 5 - /3* 1, .‘ _ if, g, . i 1 22 ' _ TheiNEW DAY to pay attention to Me think not that I am trying to do it for a selﬁsh purpose. Your concentrated thoughts on Me, if they are in harmony, will be the only hope of your Redemption, the only deliverance from such undesirable conditions as you have been undergoing. These Words I put forth into expression in My Office by Inspiration, as a -Composition, as a Message, they have been handed down to others. These very ‘Words I gave in this little Com- position, have gone throughout the Universe and will continue to go on to contact others, that they might, be partakers of My Version and. observe the signiﬁcance of giving Me their mind and their prayerful attention. "If You Love Me You Will Keep My Commandments" Oh how marvellous it is to rid yourself of every selﬁsh tendency. So long as you are selﬁsh, and self—opinuated, it is a matter of impossibility for you to be in harmony with Me. You will feel so antagonistic and so conflicting at times, you will be angry with Me and you will not know why,——and what said the Scripture? “He who hateth his brother without a cause is a murderer already." Unr consciously you will be antagonistic. You wll be angry with Me. That old spirit: and that o-ld mind,———“the other fellow” in you,—will make the body express the anger you have in you without: a cause, because I have fed you and I have clothed you; because I have rescued you when you were down; because I have cared for you when you were destitute and had nowhere to go. That old spirit and that old mind will cause you as a serpent to turn against. the One Who has been your Deliverer, your Sal’ vation, and your Saviour. ° These Thoughts are well worth considering. But if you Love Me you will keep My Commandments. If you Love Me you will detach yourself from your former connee~ tions mentally, from every detestable fancy, and all of your former iniquities and inﬁrmities cannot ﬁnd you for you will be hid in the Inﬁnite once and forever. I Thank you. ‘ All for the Good of Others Oh it is a privilege to be just what you are, is it not? While standing I Thought for consideration, the outward. expression of My Words, My Actions and Emotions are original. Without consideration, they are put forth into expression without.premeditation. Aren’t you glad! Just think, as I stand and look and observe you, you look at that picture hanging in the hall,——without consideration that picture was taken. Without consideration I am standing that way continually, without the least thought when I rise and express, giving you to know I am the same today, yesterday, and forever. (At this juntture it» was realized by all that FATHER had been standing at the Table in the same posture that has become familiar to millions through a photograph taken in Washington, D. C., a number of years ago, in which He stands with both Hands resting on the table’s edge.) Can you not see the mystery? Can" you not see the reality of it? Therefore. the original‘ is the Fundainentlal, fdr---»it -comes forth---it-ito —exptession~ -by -Nature, the-.Per«» 7 feet Picture. That is the only thing to recognize and to copy after. If you stop to think what GOD is doing through His Condescension,—if you would consider you would know something by considering; My Words, My Actions and Expressions are for the purpose of reach— ing your condition, to lift you, to save you, and to Re» deem you,——even though they may be foolish apparently, all I Do and all I Say are for the good of\ others. Aren't you glad! A j The Tree ls Told by Its Fruit I need not Say more. I can see “by your personal apr pearance, you are well convinced. Over and above every supposition, over and above every opposition, over and above every criticism, I can see your Love is so great the reality of you is more persistent and you are more de termined than ever. Just; think of it! I forget all about wtszt I have to do, forget all about the time of the morn- ing, lose sight of it completely,—and so do you. This is the fulﬁllment of the Scripture,——“The tree is told by the fruit it bears,"——as with the Teacher, so with the pupil. As with the Leader, so with the followers. That is the mystery! If they are real in their endeavors! I have a whole lot to do yet tornight. Unless I come to the Earth plane, when I am Speaking I fo-rget all about what is before Me for the future or for the hereafter. Shortly after I finish Speaking I forget all about. it apparently, for I am all I AM, wheresoever I am, and there I am and there will be, until I go somewhere else. Oh, it is a privilege to see the Truth,——not only to ob- serve it mentally and spiritually, but to see it physically manifested. It is actually manifested in your daily actions and your expressions, and especially in your Love and- devotion. Aren't you glad! The Tree is plainly observed here, by the faithfulness and the devoutness of My Fol~ lowers, and how they express their Love they have ' for Me. Persecution Causes Greater Devotion Just look at the thousands and thousands in this Din.» ing Room, how they stand patiently waiting until Iam ready to go. Just. think about the malicious criticlsm, accu— sations, and slanderous “persecutionated” words of ex». pression that have come from those who claim to be Be— lievers. Those who are deceivers, those who would be traitors if there was anything to betray, speaking malicious, seditious words against the Fundamental, that they might undermine us. It only causes My Followers to he more persistent, to he more determined, and more faithful and devout in their endeavors. Aren‘t you glad! It just causes each of them to take on more volume of speed. and steam, that they might overcome and surmount every opposition, every malicious criticism, and every slanderous‘! expression that may be said about Me, for they know definitely all of those things are said falsely. Aren’t you glad! Can you not see the great unfoldment of the mystery of My Work and My Mission exp-ressedly increasing and unfolding itself mo-re distinctly, multiplying by as many—more almost daily, because of the malicious, slandetr September 23’ A x..,.~..,...,,.—.,,..,.,,~c....-..,...~.,..o,...-,,...a~--..~ \..V..~,....,.,»~.-» »... no.‘ ,.,.—..«r-....'. v...~.;-m.,;».; :\.;«.; ~.;;'-'..«.,~ .s‘~v..«' ».":‘ ..«’wK3.\_ 1»; . ~--,—,.5’.:*- ::'*c;'~.'f;z3C;#=a‘:;?<.§3»”~2:-*;}@**T~J‘K-.5’nfét.9“-D'?ia!t:=Ic;V € uW2 ' I ' _ I ‘V ' ~ 1}‘.

Aren’t you glad! You can see, the very emotions and expressions, and every gesture, are volumed with the high volume of the Energy of the Spirit.

They are -caught up in the great volume of the Inﬁnite current of GOD’S Inﬁniteness, for the vibrations are high, and the volume goes to the highest degree of unfoldment here. Aren”t you glad! If you are not a. Speaker, you can come in these Audiences an.d I will give you energy and courage by Inspiration, to speak,—especially when you are in harmony withiMe, I will turn on the volume of My Spirit, I will energize you, I will spiritualize you, I will quicken you, I will awaken you, and cause you to speak volitionally and express the best that is within.

Aren't you glad! “When He the Spirit of Truth has come, He shall teach you all things." Aren’t you glad! You need no man to teach you, but the Spirit o-f Truth will lead you and guide you. Can you not see, the vo-lume of My Spirit is high here? Aren’t you glad! For I am the Truth, and the volume of the emotions and expres» sions is My Spirit. Aren’t you glad! The Spirit of Truth has truly come. In these Audiences you need no man to teach you, for I will inspir_e you inspirationally and cause you to move volitionally. That is the mystery! Aren’t you glad!

The International Righteous Government Convention of the State of W/ashington opened officially at 1:40 P. M., September 4, 1937 A. D. F. D. at 15061/2 Broad- way Avenue, Tacoma, Wash.,‘ with the singing of the Righteous Government Song, which was followed by the roll-call of delegates and inspirational songs and testimonies. At seven P. M. many of the Children had not yet arrived, so the evening was given over to songs, praises and inspirational talks. Sunday, Sept. 5, at one P. M. the Parade was ready to proceed, but police escort -had not arrived. FATHER’S Children waited patiently in line until orders came from the chief of police to proceed without escort. Passing ‘through the business section of the city, the parade was made impressive by its beautiful and colorful pennants, floats, cars and the atmosphere of Peace and Harmony that prevailed throughout its entire line of march. After the Parade the Junior Righteous Government got into full swing. One of FATHER’S little Angels stood on a chair beside the piano and sang, "It's the BODY of GOD.” Many other Evangelical selections in prose, poetry and song were given. At the conclusion of the program the following officers were elected for the state board, the ﬁrst meeting of which will be held on the ﬁrst Monday in October. State Chairman, Bro. Frank Peretti; Assistant State Chairman, Bro. Living Song; State Research Chairman, Sister Covey; State Political Department, Bro. Enthu- siasm; State Educational Department, Sister Transﬁgura- tion; State Welfare Department,‘ Sister Maud Gilmer; State Vocational Department, Sister Larson; State Mu- sical Department, Sister Young; State Agricultural De- partment, Bro. Blosser; State Industrial Department, Bro. Roberts; Secretary of State Board, Joan D’Arc Joy. Following this election Bro. Philip Oberg was chosen for Chairman of the Resolution Body and the delegates‘ proceeded with the drawing up of resolutions. The fol- lowing resolutions were passed: Be it resolved that this Northwest Convention of the International Righteous Government Department of the FATHER DIVINE PEACE MISSION go on record as urging the National and State Governments to abolish the demand of Naturalization Officials and Court judges that the applicant for citizenship enroll at a chosen _ school or schools, paying a fee for same, when he is already competent to answer the questions required by law. Therefore, be it resolved that this practice be discon- tinued by_ those responsible. And whereas it is a direct violation of the Constitu- F tion of the United States of America, And whereas to continue such practice would result in segregation, discrimination, national and racial prej- udice— ‘ Therefore, we, the FATHER DIVINE PEACE ms- SION MOVEMENT Followers, henceforth refuse to vote for, or otherwise support for Public Office, any persons who will uphold such practices. Therefore we demand that every effort be made to bring about Righteousness, justice and Truth, according to the Constitution of these United States, and in accord- ance with the FATHER DIVINE INTERNATIONAL RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM. Be it resolved that this Convention request the Inter-_ _ national Righteous Government Department in New .. York City to work with the United States Postal Depart- ment to urge the use of the word "PEACE” on all first class mail, for instance on cancellation stamps, etc. Songs and testimonies followed and we were blessed to hear a wonderful talk by William L. Norton, City Councilman of Seattle. - Mr. Norton: “I did not come over this afternoon to talk, I came to listen. I just overheard a sister say, “They say I'm crazy.” . . .Yes, and they said I was crazy too to- come over to this Convention; but, friends, if this is being crazy, I am mighty happy to be in this class, for here ' I ﬁnd a mighty intelligent group, one that is demand- ing Righteousness, Justice and Truth to the whole world . . .one that is not afraid to put its shoulder to the wheel, and work for better conditions for the masses, econ'om- r ically, socially, politically and spiritually. "There is a work mapped out for theipoliticians and I believe a man elected to office should realize that he is a representative of the people and is there to serve them. "Before entering politics I had a varied experience—- in the ministry for more than six years—then on the police force for nine years~—from a preacher to a police- man. Yet as apoliceman, I found a lot of work to be done, in MY FATHER’S NAME, as there contacts were made with many who never entered a church-——yet they were all OUR FATHER’S Children. "Then gradually slipping—or rising—I became a poli- tician and in politics I ﬁnd an even greater opportunity to carry on the work; and as long as MY FATHER gives me .the strength, power and opportunity, I shall continue to- the fullest extent of my ability to bring Righteousness, Justice and Truth into the chaotic politi- cal ﬁeld, and Peace, Joy and Happiness to even the hum- blest of HIS Children." ‘(Great applause)‘ ..-”v-‘\/'V-"\/\.-“-./-c/‘-./‘-./ -.2’ ../\/""~£'\./\/'\z"~4"v"‘y,,l\«-I-s/’»_r'\/'fJ"”\/'\«" ~/'»J"\/"x/K/"'~./9~.f§.i¢"‘\/"i‘~.a"i* . .'/:,3‘,‘».-v’ ~..

Banquet at the HOLY TABLE of the Lord long to be remembered in the hearts and minds of the Children_. The vibrations ran to great heights, blessing all who- were in tune with the FUNDAMEN- TAL of ALL Creation, whom 54 million know to be GOD in Bodily Form, OUR SWEET FATHER DIVINE. About one hundred sat at the TABLE, many coming from California, Oregon, Minnesota, Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia, together with those from the State of Washington, Longview, Chehalis, Goldbar, Bell- ingham, Everett, Tacoma and Seattle. Many inspirational songs came forth spontaneously through the Angels, and healings, testimonies and confessions proved more than ever the POWER and GLORY of GOD ALMIGHTY, FATHER DIVINE. . The evening of the Banquet the streets were packed with limousines and small cars, all crowding near the Mission to hear the Songs and Praises wafted through the night air, with Love, Peace, Joy and Merriness that can come only from the actual recognition of GOD in a BODY, FATHER DIVINE—Praise HIS SWEET, HOLY, IMMACULATE NAME! Mo-nday, September sixth, at one P. M. there was an opening address by the newly-elected chairman; more testimonies, Thanksgiving and Praises to FATHER for the wonderful Love, Joy and healings among HIS Children in all parts of the country. There was another meeting of testimony and Praise at 7:30 P. M. with recognition of the blessing and privilege of being pres- ent these three glorious days in HIS Mind and Spirit and the reading ofiOur Beloved FATHERS Message. Adjournment found none wishing to depart, all desir- ing to remain and bathe a while longer in Sweet 'FATHER’S Love. - - , ’ WE THANK YOU, FATHER! , _International Righteous Government Dep’t. of _ iFATHER"‘DIVINE'S PEACE MISSION A A i_ (Signed) Frank Peretti, State Chairman 4 " Joan d‘Arc Joy, Secretary HIGH VIBRATIONS AT |26+h STREET FORUM. NEW YORK Great joy arid enthusiasm characterized the Righteous Government Forum at 160 West 126th Street, New York City, Thursday evening,\September 16th. ‘Several Followers from other parts of the country were present. A Sister form Florida told the Children she was not a visitor———she had just come home to FATHER. .,S;he,was, most impressed by the beautiful demonstration Theiixgrsw DAY . A 92% of love on all sides; and the thought of walking and talk ingwith GOD. Two Sisters from ‘Washington spoke of the courtesy and friendliness of people on the trains, who ‘seemed to know they were FATHER‘S Followers. The conductor bade the others in the car “good night” but said to the Sisters, “God bless you.” One Sister from Washington had the courage to take her last cent from the bank and hitchrhike all the way to New York. At that she made the trip in one day less than the bus and found courtesy allthe way. I A Brother thanked FATHER that his eyes were no . longer in the sky, soul and body in the grave. He was changed so quickly, nobody but GOD could; do it. He loves all GOD’S creation; would not kill even a_ snake. Means to be honest and true to all the Brothers and Sisters; and never criticize any. However he will thank FATHER for helpful criticism from others. He is not looking back any more but going on to I perfection. From a Los Angeles Brother: “FATHER is Victorious in all things. We know we are serving GOD. The Right— eous Government is a knockout to the world but to the ‘Children it is very easy. FATHER is a consuming ﬁre. If you dont accept, - it will consume you or smoke you out. In Los Angeles tonight the Children are doing the ‘ same as we are here. FATHER never left the world. but we were not conscious of HIS. Presence. Knowing who FATHER was brought me to New York. It is startling after looking for“ GOD in the sky a long time, to find HIM here.” i Another Brother from the West said FATHER healed him of many sicknesses. He had not been able to raise one arm but now raised it high to show how FATHER had cured it. Words could not express his love for, FATHER and the Followers. “I started from Miami with four dollars,” related a Brother, “but I was never so happy in my life. When the Children begin to sing something starts bubbling in my heart. I was talking with a merchant of Harlem who had been having some trouble with his employes_ and he told me of having an interview with FATHER about the matter. I thought how wonderful it was——a business man 9 taking his troubles to My FATHER. Aiman in the lumber business said: “Any time I can do anything to help FATHER, I’ll- be glad, to.” . The Brother continued: “I feel like .a little kid. FATHER tells me many sweet things. A downtown lawyer asked me many questions about my connection with FATHER’S Movement and remarked: ‘It must wonderful to be around FATHER: I'd like to be HIS" lawyer.’ iHe wants to spend a day going about to the various Mission extensions. _' “You don’t get anything except in FATHER’S Spirit; there is nothing anywhere else.” ' One of the favorite Kingdom songs started and the Spirit ran so high that many were jumping and walking about——one might have thought the LORD was present in the BODY. And thus the meeting closed. . {‘_.4;.—-1...‘.-—-r- 26 ‘ Tl1g’NEW -DAY I- , HIGHLISHTS on: “THE 63:4 STREET RIGHTEOUS eoveaumem r:-oaum SEPTEMBER 3. I937, A. D. F. D. Miss Freedom, chairman of the Forum, said someone had remarked to her, ‘I hope the followers of Father Divine vote intelligently in the coming election’. She replied, ‘Father ~Divine’s followers are the only ones who do vote in.te_ll_igentIy, because they are Righteous within themselves’. Bro. Hammer, a follower from Florida, said; "There are only a few people in Florida who really know that Father Divine is God; _F_ath,er’s voice is heard in the _dis- tance, by those not Conscious of Him: Individuals read- ing prejudicial papers ask, ‘What is the trouble with Father Divine?’ My replylis always; ‘Father has no trouble; the people are the ones having trouble”. Mr. Lamb, Father's secretary, stated concerning Mayor La Guardia; "The Mayor has not done anything; he has not measured up .to his requirements; -he has not kept his promises; he is under the inﬂuence of Party; he gets no credit -for what -has been done; anything done is done by the Spirit of Righteousness, Justice and Truth; Father ca.n use anyone. Before election, the Mayor said; “I will do anything you say, Father! but he has not kept his word.” ‘ Mr. John Lamb, a political worker,'qu.oted Mr. Win- ston Churchill as say_ing, "There arelthree great men in the world today, Hitler, Mussolini, and Father Divine, but FATHER DIVINE, is the greatest of the three”. Mankind is realizing that Father Divine is manifesting the truth, and setting a stand__a.rel of Righteousness, and soon they must confess that the Messiah is here in the Body of Father Divine.” ‘ -CHI-CAGO FORUM R,E.PQI3T,S I.I§_ITE.R,E$T OFBANKERS _ 206 East 55th St.,—Chicago, Illinois.

I Brother Samuel, chairman, related his in.ter.esting con- tact with a Chicago “Nicodemus,” an attorney and for- mer high official of what was once our best known bank on Chicago's near South Side. This man was highly im- . pressed by the personal testimony by another highly- respected member "of the ba_r.1l<i_ng fraternity, of a mar- velous healing through FATHER, so he got in touch with Brother Samuel, through .w_hom'he obtained much data, to satisfy his inquiring mind. He was thus em-I boldened to let go of secrecy and obtaining the meeting times and dates, ’promised..to attend hereafter. The chairman, feeling the nearness of Dear FATHER; D thought it ﬁtting we should visualize Him as .our Guest of Honor, act and talk as the Spirit moved instead of conﬁning the discussion to any particular plank or part of the Platform, The Spirit of love and harmony was mightily manifested throughout the entire meeting.

Divine C-I-reenkill Park , ~ The Promised Land " Saturday. September I I, I937, A. 0.;-E. D. Time‘: I l:00 P. M. ‘ That no Blessing that can be imagined will be with- ' held from the‘ Children of GOD who recognize His INFINITE POWER to Create, and every affirmation can and will be conﬁrmed and materialized, was em- phasized by FATHER in this brief but most Instructive Message given at the Banquet Table, Saturday evening, September 11th. A The ‘simple logic of psychology can easily be prac- ticed by the smallest or the greatest. Man must realize that thoughts are things, for vivid visualization makes them tangible and brings them into outer expression. It most essential, therefore, for everyone who wishes to experience desirable conditions, to control his or her thoughts and dwell only on the Positive, and since GOD is the great CREATOR of all things, it is essential that one realize His OMNIPOTENCE, His POWER to Create and Materializei any thought or imagination. After one speaker on this occasion told of having visited many of the Promised Land Extensions, and ex- pressed her desire to be Blessed as the many others have been, FATHER sang the "Enumerated Blessings" Composition, beginning with “One Thousand Blessings" and- concluding with "There Is No End to the Blessings, Blessings Flowing Free for All.” Following this, our PRECIOUS LORD and SAVIOUR rose Personally to tell His enthusiastic listeners how these Wonderful Blessings are Created and Manifested that they can be. enjoyed by the children of men. if WE THANK YOU, DEAR LORD, FOR YOUR BOUNDLESS LOVE. FATHER ‘speaks as follows: PEACE EVERYONE: ("Peace, FATHER DEAR!" “came the happy greeting.) May I still extend GOOD HEALTH? ("Thank You FATHER!" exclaimed the hearers.) Permit Me to extend My GOOD WILL to everybody! . . . Permit Meto have GOOD MA-NNERS and GOOD BEHAVIOUR, and may we all UNIFY our- selves together continually! By this we shall~have limit- less Blessings extended. In that little composition I have brought to your con- sideration the limitlessness of GOD’S INFINITENESS put forth into actuality in the Act of His Duty and His Good Pleasure in Blessing you and all mankind IN- FINITELY. There are thousands and thousands of peo- ple today who have not stopped to consider what "decil- lion” actually means. I delight in retracing your thoughts back to enumeration, that you might see really what it means to make such a declaration, that mankind might understand if you can DECLARE such‘ limitless Blessings according to the enumerated words of expression I Am daily stressing, they will be Blessed beyond degrees,— far beyond your fondest imagination; and as I have often said by one of My original Compositions, a,Motto“for Consideration: , “just beyond your highest affirmation lies the held of endless joy, and Joy without a tear.” GOD is the Creator’ of Your Fondest imagination You cannot AFFIRM anything that GOD cannot CONFIRM! If you can affirm by making an affirmation concerning any Positive assertion or desirable expression, GOD can CONFIRM it for you, for GOD is the CREA- TOR of your fondest imagination that has caused you to make such an affirmation. Imaginations are not reali- zations!-They are not REAL, it is true, saving as they are made real by CONFIRMATION and by firstly an AF- . FIRMATION and then a CONFIRMATION, and then . a DECLARATION, that it might be brought into ma- terialization, that mankind might come to the conscious V realization of that which was imagined. Whatsoever you can imagine and can affirm, GOD can both CONFIRM and eventually bring it into your conscious realization and the realization of others, for GOD is the CREATOR of all of it. , For this cause we are rejoicing and we are exceedingly glad. Understand, it takes ten hundred thousand to make amillion, does it not? That is quite a number, isn’t it? And how much does it take to make a billion? . . . And suppose;-I will not go into details tonight to bring out or try to test your mathematics, but I will say ﬁrstly, ten hundred thousand is one million, is it not? And I have declared .,by composition, through and by My Pre- dicted Inspiration as iterated for your reiteration, “There are so many Blessings,~—every day they are multiplied by as many more." . . . No longer enumerating in the unit tenths, or tens and hundreds, not stopping at thousands, but enumerating thousands, millions, bil- lions, trillions, quadrillions, quintillions, sextillions, septillions, octillions, duo-decillions and decillions, and then going one step further than our English language as it may be termed in America, decillions times decil- lions times decillions, and by My Iterated and Reiterated \ Prediction by Inspiration and declaring to this People‘ these limitless Blessings I Am stressing here for the e-.23 , I The NEW DAY Children of -this People, who will live Evangelically whole-heartedly. " All Things of Nature and Art Once Mental Concepts As a Practical Psychologist and as a simple Psycholo- gistamong the Metaphysicians and among the Psycholo- gists, you have been taught if you visualize vividly, GOD will MATERIALIZE that which you visualize. We are visualizing the POSITIVE, no longer working cancella- tion on our fondest imagination, but we are visualizing ~ the POSITIVE and working multiplication on it, or by it, that it might be increased and multiplied continually INFINITELY, until you can increase and multiplyno more! It has been said by the Psychologists and Meta- physicians, if you visualize anything vividly, you tend to materialize it by the visualized concept or expression in the POSITIVE direction, by focusing your thoughts in i and on the POSITIVE. If you can REALIZE that which you have merely imagined or surmised, how great it will be when you come to see the reality of true CONCEN— TRATION and DIALATION. We are now enjoying things that were merely an ima- gination. Everything brought forth by the Hand of Art, as well as by the Hand of Nature, once was a concept in the mind,—in other words a concept of the mind,—-_ mind conceived some idea and that thought conceived in the conscious or subsconscious mentality of an indi- vidual, and" by that person dwelling upon it, he has drawn out from the subconscious mind, through the ‘ conscious mind by the Hand of Art, that which he vividly visualized and merely imagined in the Begin- "ning, bringing to the surface the signiﬁcance of recogniz- ing that which was merely imaginary, that which was once an imagination. By vividly gazing upon such an expression, GOD materializing it, increasing it, and multiplying it, it causes mankind generally to realize that which once was merely surmised. _ lgnore Every Opposition For this cause we are rejoicing to say this evening: "There is no end to the Blessings . . . Every day they are multiplied by as many more.” All you must needs do is to live in perfect HAR-, MONY with your fondest conviction and stress it vividly by focusing your thoughts,——your thoughts and your mind,-—all in the POSITIVE direction in the act of bringing into outer expression your fondest imagination. One must be persistent in her or his ambition‘ to accom- plish anything in life. You must ignore every opposi- tion, matters not how persistent the oppositions may be! The more persistent the oppositions, the more persistent you should be in your endeavors, knowing deﬁnitely: "Greater is He that is within yo-u, than all things that could be against you.” Then I say, glory in tribulations and oppositions, but be persistent in your ambition and you will overcome every difficulty. Trials and tribulations will be expres- sions of pleasure, for you will know deﬁnitely when they come forth into expression, you shall advance scientiﬁ- cally and more accurately in the Perfect way of expres- sion. As I stand and as you behold the limitless Blessings I 5eptembeEi.:23 for one and for all, you can declare with Me by your I own individual experience, “There are so many Blessings you cannot count them all.” Truly might have the Spirit declared: _ "Try Me and see if I will not open the Windows of Heaven and pour you out such a Blessing you will not have room to receive it.” Work‘ Canoelllation on the Negative Blessings must exceed all of your cursings, adverse and undesirable conditions and other expressions that are negative, for great is your conviction concerning the Mystery of undesirable conditions,—for He Who is with_you, and within you, carries within Himself the Victory over all undesirable conditions. . For this cause we are rejoicing and we are exceedingly glad to observe the out-picturing of that which is GOOD, transcending the negative and undesirable, dis- pelling dark clouds of doubts and fears, and working- cancellation on the negative from every angle expres- sible, that the POSITIVE might be a Living Reality in our lives and in the lives of those with whom we come . in contact, who are in harmony with the FUNDA- MENTAL. ' There are many things I could say along this line, but as I arose I did not arise to say anything at that parti- cular instance, but to especially endorse the Composi- I tion and our declaration and the Message that was read, and to make this announcement,——that when we have visiting friends, we want them to be welcome and to be made welcome by those of us who are within. For this cause I have arisen to say, if there are any visiting friends here who would like to have a word to say, we would be and are pleased to hear from them. I would like to say to our visiting friends, it is not that you must neces- sarily try to speak as those of us speak, but speak accord- ing to the dictates of your own conscience, your own Con- scious conviction and your own belief. Be true to your- self and sincere in your endeavors, and lo, I will be with you. As I have expressed the desirable for others, so-. will it be for you,—+I will be your Endorser. I thank you.‘ a (Several visitors who had crossed the continent to see FATHER, expressed their gratitude ‘and-love for Him and their great joy in viewing the many beautiful Extensions of the Kingdom in the Prom- _ ised Land. After the sweet little love song which came forth at the conclusion of these testimonies, _FAT'HER spoke again as follows.) PEACE EVERYBODY: I would just like to say at this juncture, just a very limited few copies of this last issue of “The NEW DAY” came,-—they came to Me as a gift. The publication called “The NEW DAY,” that carries My Message even as the “Spoken Word” did, is a commercial paper, but it cariies My Message gratis, and I contribute My Message to it gratis. I am not the pub- lisher of this publication,—-I am merely a Contributor.’ .. ‘- :"‘»,:-‘r’:-,«: Sestémbe:“e-23 ' merit? offi-ce.v . ‘The only thing they do directly for Me in connection "with the paper is that they give Me a few issues’ for My I Immediate Staff or My Friends,—a few copies I mean. I happen to have a few copies here tonight. I thought within Myself, there are those of our visiting friends,— I mean strangers,——who are not subscribers to the papers that carry My Message; they might be interested in get- ting a little more information,—having the chance to read the paper and get a little more information than what they have received. If there is any person or persons here who desire tp do so, ‘,1 will give them a copy of this issue gratis. ' I Of course, it is a commercial paper,—they are not sell- ing this paper out here now, not as yet,——they will be a little later on, no doubt. They will have them on the news-stand in the Auditorium orisome place around here in the lobby, and they will be for sale, but as I have a few copies and I do not sell them Myself for they are merely given to Me as gratis,——even so I give them out _ to My Friends and others and to My Immediate Staff. If there are. any here who would like to have a copy of this particular issue, you are welcome to do so,-~the _ one that was read by the secretary here. If you desire to , have a copy,.-you are welcome to. have one, that you Iirriight learn a little more of what we are doing. There are several different Lectures published in this particular issue of Thursday, September 9th. I thank you. FATHER D|VI'NE'S PEACE MISSION ‘ MOVEMENT - 952 Eighth Street. ‘Oakland. Calif.

"TO BE TRUE, to be simple, to be gentle of heart, to remain cheerful and collected in sorrow and in danger, to- love life and not to fear death, to serve the Spirit and -not to be haunted by spirits,—nothing better has ever been tau_ght since the world first began."—~Bruno Frank. IN DEFENSE OF CONVICTIONS “The further truth,” stated Archibald MacLeish, chair- man of the National Congress of American Writers held recently in New York, “is that the man who refuses - to defend his convictions for fear he'may_ defend them in the wrong company, hasno convictions_.”_ _ . .

Clemens, who also had a spiritual (or professional) name—-Mark Twain, in’conformity to one of the re- quirements of becoming a follower of FATHER DIVINE repaid a debt of many thousands of dollars -through losses and failure of his publishing business. Mr. Twain, apparently, was a success as a writer and lecturer but failed as a publisher. He might be called a successful failure. - Having failed at several tasks, he tried writing, and succeeded. His trip to the Holy Land, considered a doubt- ful venture by ‘the San Francisco paper that sent him,‘ made him famous. From his experiences on that trip he wrote a book, “Innocents Abroad," of which a hundred thousand copies were sold. It added much to his fame. Mark Twain had a religion of humor and helpful! 'ness. And he took his own remedy. When he failed in the publishing business he could have avoided his debts, as many dishonestly do. However, having enthusiasm and faith left, he cheerfully shouldered the load, traveled ten years, and paid every cent. He did it happily and found joy all the while he was paying his debts. He learned to ﬁnd the bright side of things. He knew the value of laughter. Any person can be a better Chris- tian by being so joyful and so helpful that he forgets to _worry. Laughter belongs .to religion. Mark Twain was an apostle of the Merry Heart. He practiced the gospel of Good Cheer and gave us they precept and the example that "He laughs best who has helped the most.” HAWAIIAN RHAPSODY (Excerpt from Don Blanding’s “Hula Moons.” An example of ﬁne writing quoted from “Paradise of the Pacific,” beautifully decorated colored-picture magazine of the Island Kingdom.) "Modern Hawaii is the most delightful, beautiful, ab- surd, exasperating and withal irresistible place that I know in the world. It’s Mrs. Grundy in a hula skirt. It's a Polynesian maid doing a,Greta Garbo in a Paris hat .and a bungalow apron, with her brown toes sticking through her expensive silk stockings. The grass skirt shows beneath the smart dress of progress. It's Main Street moved to the tropics. It’s New England spring- time with a Gauguin complex. I "Everything is tail-end-to or kapakahi as the Hawai ians express it. When the volcano, Kilauea, goes off with spectacular displays of fury, and the red lava pours down" to the sea, the people ﬂee in the traditional man- ner of those who live near volcanoes, except that, Hawaiian fashion, they ﬂee to the brink of the pit to watch the grand ﬁreworks that the auburn-haired god- dess, ,Pele,, provides. ff‘/re DAY "Rain is called "liquid sunshine” because it falls from a bright cloudless sky. (That's something to take up with the weather bureau; I don't know the answer.) Dwellers in the islands had rather laugh than cry, but if they feel that occasion demands weeping they do it in a businesslike manner, get it.over as soon as possible, and return to the serious occupation of enjoying life. “It’s such a bubble-minded, joyous place that it has rainbows hanging in the clouds at all hours of the day, and then, as an extra ﬁllip of happiness, lunar rainbows at night. I recall a verse from a junior League show we produced in Honolulu (yes, the Junior League as 4 well as the Rotary Club, Lions, Elks and the W. C. T. U. function there) : “There’s a misty, murky magic in the bright Hawaiian moonlight; It has a tricky, wiki-wiki, sort of hula—hula gleam; It’s a liquor full of bubbles, and it dissipates your troubles. Oh, it's amorous and glamorous, and ﬁlls you full of dreams. A “That is Hawaii on its frivolous, and most important side.” Promised Land Has New Store ADDED to the many wonderful developments in the Promised Land FATHER has recently blessed some of His co-workers to open a grocery store at High Falls, New York. As FATHER is'a blessing to the world He has extended His great love in this latest ‘development, in the form‘of greatly reduced prices, strictly fresh meat and eggs right from the farm. Brother Simon Peter is in charge. News of any new development in FATHER DIVINE’S Promised Land area in Ulster County is re- ceived with a thrill of joy by many local residents as well as followers in that part of the state and with eagerness by followers in all other parts of the world. Every such new cooperative enterprise is a victory of GOD over greed. :1: 2% =3: The building which housed the candy shop and the” stock of men’s wear was converted into a tea-room restaurant in july and immediately became very active and thriving as it is the only restaurant in High Falls. The men's wear and dress store is now located at 161 W. Kinney St., in Newark, N. ]. =!= =1: The Peace Department Store in High Falls which was started about the ﬁrst of the year has been growing and adding new lines continually. The dress manufac- turing shop is kept supplied continually with orders. "If you want knowledge, you must toil for it; if food, you must toil for it; and if pleasure, you must toil for it. Toil is the law. Pleasure comes through toil, and not by self-indulgence and indolence. When one ' gets to love work, his life is a happy one.” _——Ruskin.

September 26. I937 I ‘ A A. D. F. D. Time: |2:50 P. M. (Preceded by comment of the transcriber) Delighted were the followers and visitors to be pres,- ent with Father, Personally, our Adorable Savior, at the serving of a.nother B-ounteous Banquet in the Spacious Dining Hall of Hope Farm. Limitless are the comforts in the expression and open manifestation of the Love of GOD, our FATHER DIVINE,- for His children of this dispensation, and it is as a Sampleand an Example of our Savior’s Love, “Hope Farm" stands today. This Garden, Spot of Beauty is a marvelous transformation from the old and former things to the new and modern way. It has at- tracted the attentions of many who were familiar with the old homestead and daily they come to witness the change that has taken place and to pay tribute to FATHER DIVINE, to His Work and to His Mission on earth among men. In appreciation and amazement they stand, for the Realness of the Practicality of GOD is so convincing and so far-reaching they know and are consciously con- vinced it must stand and continue to unfold, until all nations of the earth are caught up under the inﬂuence of It andywill prosper and succeed even as those do who are led and governed through and by the Spiritual Guidance of FATHER DIVINE. I This Masterful and Glorious Message shall ever Live as a great Inspiration and Illumination to all who will accept of it and be blessed thereby, for it is through and by His Condescension at this Day and Time the peoples of the earth will receive their Real and True Emancipation, for GOD is the Only Libera- tor. In Love and Mercy He came and in appreciation of the great Sacrifice He has made that ‘we might be saved, we Love, Adore and Reverence His ‘Holy Majesty. - SONALLY Came, in the hearts and minds of millions. Immediately before arising to speak, the following composition was sung by FATHER for the considera- tion of one and all: “You may testify in actions, Testify in deeds, Testify in words, but more in deeds; Testify in actions, I ‘And testify in deeds, That is the way you can please ME.” FATHER SPEAKS AS FOLLOWS: I PEACE EVERYONE: That little composition as a few words of consola- tion, and yet as a Message, I am conveying for consideration: ' "Testify in actions, Testify in deeds, That is the way you can please» _ . . . yet words will point out the way at times to the conscious minds of men, that they might get a slight glimpse of the way I have gone,——yea, the way I CAME! It , is written: “Show me the way my Redeemer has gone,”—I_ heard them say by composition . . . “HE is the Lily of the Valley, HE is the Bright and the Morning Star; show me whichsway my Redeemer has gone.” Truly might have one said: _ "Oh for a closer walk with GOD, A calm and a Heavenly Frame; A Light to ‘shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb.” Aren’t you glad! You are glad the Light has truly sown, for the Light of which David spoke of has sown upon the road, for; "Light is sown for the Righteous and gladness for the upright in heart.” That is why you can see such a Light has not, or had not yet been seen until I PER- and came forth into consideration By this, the Light is freely given that all might see plainly, and no longer walk in darkness. Then, the Light that lighteth every man who cometh into the world is the identical Light of which the Composer was speaking: “A Light that shines upon the road to lead me to the LAMB.” What Lamb was that of which the Composer was speaking? And Who was that Lamb, A . A the Lamb of GOD of which John spoke oft‘. '. "that taketh away the sins of the world.”? I The Lambship Degree of GOD Remember, it is not confined to a person nor person- ality, but as a Principle put forth into expression, I am stressing . . . the Lamb-likeness of GOD, the Lamb " of GOD,.John said. Behold! the most‘meel< state of GOD put forth into expression, the MOST,MEEK! . . . and the lowliness of GOD. That is the Mystery of the LAMB of GOD. The LAMB of GOD, the Word,——the ‘LAMB of GOD does not mean matter especially; not at all. It does not mean a visible expression according to~MY Tabernacle especially; but as a Principle, as a LAMB- SHIP Degree of Expression, I am stressing through John when he declared it: ’ "Behold! the LAMB of GOD ' Who taketh away the sins of the world." 7 . . . Behold! that meekness of GOD, behold! that de- gree of meekness of-the Majesty of the Infiniteness of the Omnipotence and of the Omniscience of GOD‘; and ye_t, behold! the meekness of such an Omniscient and Omnipotent, and of such an INFINITE One. The most meek and the most humble state of expression,— there is the LAMB of GOD in PERSON‘ Personiﬁed. Aren’t you glad! i GOD in His Majesty, coming in the most simplicit and the most meek and the most humble way of ex- pression, coming from His Majesty, Dominion and Authority, coming down in that which is termed Mercy and Pity for all of us . . .the meekness of GOD~—, it could have been said, but as a person it was described as though it was an animal expressing the meekest of all animals and the lowliness of all of the animalistic Kingdom. ‘ - "Behold! the I.AMBiof GOD Who taketh away the sins of the world.” ‘ , The More Meek the More Majesty It. was an expression, I say, stressing the Mystery and the signiﬁcance of the meekness of JESUS and the \\’/ork and ‘the Mission of the‘ ALMIGHTY, coming down in Mercy and tender, Compassion to all humanity. The more meek in expression, the more ‘distinctly and more in Reality, in Majesty. "Behold! the LAMB OF GOD" . . . the most meek expression among expressions, ‘the most simple, the most insigniﬁcant.

Redemption Through the Spirit of Meekiness Truly might have one caught the Inspiration as a Mental and a Spiritual glimpse of the‘My_stery of, Sal- vation, and said: . ."Tl:ere is not a Friend like the»Lowly JESUS, -No, not one; no, not one. There is no Friend so Meek and Lowly, No, .not one; no, not one. , _ _ .Yet, there is no Friend so High and. Holy, No, not one; no, not one.” _ . Can you not see the simplicitness andthe meekness and the humbleness and the obedience and the very ex- _ pression of GOD in simplicity, yet in Majesty coming? Showing you and others the Way of Redemption that you might be redeemed through the Spirit of Meekness, throughlthe Lamb-like Spirit of HIS- Mercy and Com- passion, as He stressed it in HIS Deeds and in HIS Actions. Can you not see the Mystery? Look at such an expression! John could have said: "Just look at GOD in all of HIS Majesty, Dominion and Authority! Look at GOD in all of HIS Omnipotence, Oimniscience and Omnipresence, and Behold! HIS Inﬁniteness,——yet in the most simplicit rneekness of expression HE is coming, HE is coming." "Behold such a One coming!” For such an expression is the only V‘(/ay ‘of Redemption whereby man can be saved. Such an- expression will take away the sins of the world. Aren't you glad!

I need not say more. Every visible expression of JESUS CHRIST, Myself, FATHER DIVINE, in Person are expressions of degress of Unfoldment and of a Principle expressed in the act of expression as a Person, but stressing _the Principle of that which I am mani- » festing that mankind might observe GOD'S Majesty, yet__ Love and Mercy and tender Compassion for all h'u:manity.’ Aren't you glad! Every expression of Jesus as a Person was an ex- pression not merely conﬁned to the expression of the Person as a Person, but as a Principle and as a Degree of Unfoldment manifest‘ that mankind mightobserve the advancement of the CHRIST and recognize GOD'S Presence in this present Life. That is the Mystery! That is what it all was about! A Every bit of it was an expression being brought forth in outer manifestation and personiﬁed as the Person- iﬁcation of that which was a degree or as a Principle manifest, as a Sample and as an Example for others I expressed. Aren’t you glad! The Door Not‘ Closed I! How marvelous it is to dwell in the actual Presence of. -GOD where the Fount of GOD'S Omniscience is flowing freely for one and for all, where GOD in HIS Love and -Mercy and tender Compassion, especially in HIS Lamb-likeness of meekness, I set before you an open door. "The door behind Me I have notclosed” .' . . "Behold! the LAMB of GOD Who taketh away the sins” of the wor-ldf” That is’the Mystery! And that is what it is all about. Hence, it is a matter of im- possibility for Me Mentally and Spiritually, or even Personally, to be defeated,_——for I have not represented Myself‘ Personally yet I am Personiﬁed and Am the Personiﬁcation of all am stressing. Aren't you glad! That is what it is all about! Hence,,,with or without MYfP,erson, as I am -not representing-i—Myself as a Person, -yet in all of what I am s_tressi,=ng,’I_ am bringing forth to your consideration the conscious Recognition and the Realization of GOD'S Impersona,l,. Presence, yet I’ am ‘the Personiﬁcation of all I am stressing. i Upon this Foundation, if I as a Person would cease to function in your midst for an instance or for!‘-a sea- sgn, the action of MY Expression would be as expres- sive and MY Mission would be as Effective; therefore, nothing on earth nor in any other place of expression can hinder Existence and MY Dominion, for GOD is Infinite, Inﬁnitely expressing, being Eternal by -Nature andin HIS Characteristics Inﬁnite. Aren't you glad! i ' ' . Meekness Is Likeness to Christ Then I say: Behold! such a concept, such a version, such a Principle. ,LIFTED,—behold! such a Degreeof U_nfoldrnent»mentally manifest, and you will behold the LAMB of GOD in all of HIS Majesty, yetin meekness coming expressing; coming in the ‘most meek way of expression,-——not beholding so much the Omnipotence nor the Omniscience nor the Authority of GOD, HIS Majesty and Dominion, but in this instance ‘beholding the Lamb-likeness of H18 Mission, of HIS Spiritual Meekness, Humbleness and Obedience. That is your Redemption, by beholding such a degree of expression, the only Hope of your Salvation and the Hope of the Salvation of others. You notice the average person thinks Authority is the expression of GOD and their Redemption, but to the extreme reverse, the meekest way you can ex- press, the more near you are to the likeness of CHRIST, "the LAMB of GOD Who taketh away the sins of the world.” "These are they who fol- low the LAMB whithersoever HE goeth;r” Can you not see the Mystery? Follow the Lamb-likeness, the meekness, the humbleness, the obedience, the patientableness of GOD Expressed in the_mo»st insigni- ﬁcant way, by being “led as a LAMB to the slaughter, dumb as a sheep before her. shearers.” Such, an expres- sion is your leading and your only Hope of Real Re- demption; but to the extreme reverse, I ﬁnd some going in the different directions by thinking they will observe ME in Majesty. ]ohn told you to behold GOD in the Lambship Degree of expression, in the most meek and the_most humble Way. That is the way to get rid of your sins, sickness and disease and everything else that will displease, and all things that do not appease. You get rid of such things by beholding the Lamb- likeness of GOD in expression in your deeds and in your actions and in all of your dealings. I need not say more but as I aforesaid, how marvelous it is to dwell and live in the actual Presence of GOD, for none of the mysteries of GOD are hid then, from you all. The Qualities of the LAMB Behold! the Lamb-likeness of GOD, the Meekness of GOD, the Humbleness of GOD, the Mercy of GOD, the tender Compassion -of GOD and every other most simplicit way _,_o.f,,exp.ression,——behold GOD as a RE- , , .DEEMER andpyour, Savior in,them; but to the extreme _,reverseto such expressions, you have been seeking and If .- , you .h.av.e been aspiring for the extreme reverse to such , ‘an expression instead of following the LAMB whither- soever HE Goeth, in meekness, in obedience and in tender Compassion, in mercy and in Love and.in kindness and in forbearance, in long suffering and in patience, just like the LAMB. , That was the signiﬁcance of what I am stressing this afternoon. Upon this Foundation if you will stand as you are led by your Highest Intuition, I will lead you. safely mentally and spiritually as though I am leading you by your hand. ' Behold! the Unfoldment of this Wonderful Work of GOD on earth among you. Behold! the Wonderful Unfoldment of the Reaction of that which has been observed and accomplished mentally and ‘spiritually. V-‘VVVVVV .- .‘\‘ Ag - ~°. You can see it is /materially observable, in other words it is materially manifested and you can plainly ob- serve it. This place was once known and still is known as the "Hope Farm.” It is the HOPE of the-‘redemption of mankind, when they observe with their physical sight the Mystery of GOD’S Limitless blessings, of HIS Compassion, HIS Love and of HIS Mercy, yetpin Meek- ness and in Humbleness HE Came by expressing Him- self, as I lifted you. A higher plane you have found, now you can, if you will, to place your feet on Higher Ground. In Meekness He came, in Humbleness expressing in the midst of the children of men, yet from sinking sand you have been lifted,——but if you follow MB on in the Lamb-ship degree of expression, in Meekness, you will be blessed continually and “your blessings will never fail you, and of the Increase and the Unfoldment of this Majesty, yet in Mercy and Compassion, it will never cease now‘, henceforth and forever.. FOLLOWERS INVESTIGATED FOR INCOME TAX Because of the great value of the Promised Land hold- ings of the followers of FATHER DIVINE, due largely to the cooperative improvements which other followers have erected thereon, Mr. Harry M. Hickey, Collector of Internal Revenue stationed at Albany, is trying to 6 I T;.eNEw'1>A,v I thank you. I collect income tax from the followers on investments‘ amounting to many hundreds of thousands of dollars. . -‘It is understood that tax liens have been placed on many of the properties because “persons who had those sums had never offered to pay federal taxes.” ~ . In the investigation the fact will be brought out no doubt that the investments represented the “life savings” of a number of the followers which FATHER has men- rioned from time to time. In other words individual investments themselves did not represent very great sums which most certainly were saved out of small annual in- comes or wages, in no one year of which more than thei tax exemption minimums of one to “three thousand dollars were received by the persons involved. Evidently ‘_ the investigation is merely to be sure that is__the manner I in which they came by their money. SISTERS COX AND CLARKE RETURN TO AUSTRALIA The bond of close fellowship was greatly strength- ened by the mutually enjoyable visit of Sisters Cpx and Clarke from Melbourne, Australia,’ who spent some weeks with FATHER and the Followers in New York and the Promised Land. Sister Cox was outwardly the more expressive of the two and was unbounded in her enthusiastic devotion to FATHER and in praise of the wonderful works He is doing for the benefit of all th .people—-—who.msoever is willing-to come. I, _I \ ‘September 30, 1937 At present they are on their return journey to Aus- tralia to tell at first hand of, the wonderful activities of the Movement in the United States and to transmit the consciousness of the love and oneness of the true and, faithful here with those in Australia and elsewhere. Brother and Sister Young, who were with FATHER in Sayville in 1931, were the first to start the work in Aus- tralia and since that time Mrs. Andrews and one or two others have visited FATHER in the desire to drink of the wisdom at the Fountainhead of supply. Sister Cox is prominent in the ‘work in Melbourne and all of Aus- tralia in fact.. . PEACE INDUSTRIES FLOURISH "PEACE” is a term that is more than just a salutation. Although Jesus gave the command, “When ye enter a house say, PeaceI” this slogan is just one of the many unique distinctions of the followers of FATHER DIVINE—a-uniqueness which makes them “a peculiar people”—because they are apparently the only movement that undertakes to live “exactly according to the life and teachings of Jesus” as recorded in the Gospels. For this reason of peculiarity and because the fol- lowers of FATHER DIVINE are united in a strong bond of Oneness—a bond of Peace, Brotherhood and’ unselfish" cooperation and because they comply with the revolutionary demands of the International -Righteous I Government Platform the use of the watchword ”Peace” signifies a very wonderful and beneficial business policy. All who use the word “Peace” in connection with their firm name or business advertising are expected to comply in all particulars with the policy as proclaimed’ inithe Platforin of adhering’ to the announced low prices or the lowest prices possible in lines where prices are not designated. Paying cash for all goods, and selling goods or services for cash,’ at as low a price as possible, is a part of FATHER’S program of bringing down the cost of living for all of His Followers in all parts of the world. ' A It does not makeany difference whether a person travels through 115th St., along Upper Fifth Ave., Lenox Ave., or numerous side streets .in New York or in cities suchas Newark, N; _I., Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seat-I tle or -a number of other cities or in small towns in the Promised Land area he will run across many Peace enterprises~little restaurants, barber shops, commercial or industrial establishments such as tailor shops, shoe repair shops, grocery and delicatessen stores, dress and clothing manufacturing shops, printing shops, garages, department stores, express and trucking firms, fruit and vegetable stores, shoe-shining stands, sweet shops and tea rooms, and various other enterprises including a manufacturing chemical laboratory. As one walks through the streets of the large cities of the east espe- cially he will note that the number of these Peace en- terprises, which operate on a cooperative basis, is increasing.‘ September 30, 1937 A New Zeal A Program for United World Action In the pages of many publications today may be found articles about various world movements, national and international reform groups, inter-religious and inter-organizational leagues and councils. These offer wonderful facilities for world contacts, cooperation through public action and united effort. F rom-a remarkable spiritual reawakening in the world, social refoim evangelists are a-rising everywhere with a new zeal to organize the world on a system of Cooper- atives on a basis of a scientiﬁcally planned economy or Technocracy to distribute the available abundance of all good things to all people and establish the Kingdom of Heaven in the form of an equitable World Government on the face of the earth. We must all realize we are Citizens of the World with a profound loyaltyto the FATHERHOOD OF GOD and the Brotherhood of Man which shall become the new crusade and the new zeal of the human race—the - Divine Human Family—superseding and displacing national loyalties and patriotism. - We must all-work toward the World Plan for perman- ent World Peace; World Brotherhood; Worrld Citizen- ship; a World Monetary system; _a World Language; a World Center; a World Prosperity and a World Heaven. B English the World Language A Because of the large percentage of theea-rth’s popula- tion which speaks'English and the rapid spread of ‘Americanlinventions and sociological improvements—- extension of the English language through the radio and motion pictures and use of scientiﬁc and technical terms, it is logically convincing that a universalized form of English shall inevitably become the World Language. All learned societies, international academies- and world movements shouldwork toward making uniform and universal use of all new terms. and collaborate in univers- alizing the English-Latin-Germanic fabric’ of ‘speech known as English but which might‘ to- better advantage be designated as the Universal Language. 1 .- More can be accomplished by collaboration and uriitedt‘ . public action than most people realize. All movements ' should rapidly educate their followings in the tremend- ous opportunities and advantages of this technique and the inﬂuence such actions have on the governments of the nations and on world public opinion. It is high time for seeking every opportunity to co- ordinate all the parallel programs of action ofall move- ments having common objectives, using every means of avoiding differences of terminology and points of con- troversy and conﬂict. It is most essential to seek points of agreement in order to work together and avoid points of difference and disagreement. ~ All Sh-quid Werl: for the Fundamentavl Objective: We should not care what person, organization, re- The‘ 7 ligion or nation advocates principles and programs for international collaboration and universal unity but it behooves all to serve unceasingly toward the fulfillment and realization of all those fundamental objectives. We are for and will work with any and all who; campaign for the great principles of World Brother- hood; Peace; Righteousness; Truth; justice; Plenty for All; unity of races, creeds, religions, languages, tribes and fraternities and the ideal of unselfish world service. All we haveto do is to personally become converted to this cause or this crusade for the Kingdom of Hap- pin-ess on Earth. Mr. Yervant Bey Iskender, Founder of the Citizens of the World Movement, states it is like teaching the elements of cleanliness and sanitation to children; that once persons grasp the essential necessity of the idea that in truth we can only be Citizens of the World, they all‘ fall in line as do the users of toothbrush and so-ap——and nothing will stop them short of world transformation. Modern Conveniences for Everybody So also with the idea that there is actually at the pres- ent moment available for all the people in the world plenty of automobiles, food, telephones, modern plumb- ing,‘ automatic and labor-saving machinery, electric con- trivances, radios, books,_ motion pictures, and all other modern comforts and services. As rapidly as people learn of the immediate possibility of possessing all these things they will rouse..i"nto dynamic action and nothing will stop them short of the possession of the abundance of all these things for themselves and everybody else. . World Peace is possible through the simple expedient of ‘all people being convinced they are-citizens of the world, rather than of any particular nation, and that the earth, the air, the land, the mines and the resources of nature belong to all of us freely and equally and by demand, vote, political pressure, populandemonstration and insistence upon proper administration for the beneﬁt and service of all»-casting aside parties, bureaucracies, tariffs, irn-migration restrictions, customs, restrictions and boundaries. All men are our brothers—we will work and cooperate with them, refusing to obey anyb_ody’s order that we to war———or join anybody’s army, navy orrfnilitia. ‘ , Reduce Costs-* of Government The ideals of the abolition of pogroms, lynchings, persecutions, capital punishment, and other crimes against humanity and especially exploitation, oppression, segregation and diserimination against unorganized min- orities should enlist the united efforts of all lovers of life, peace and humanity. W ‘ Most people can see the advantage of a world mon- etary system where currency is issued on the direct ratio of quantity of goods produced in each country paid di- rectly to the primary producers and in diminishing ratio to basic processers. Government functions must be re- duced to the lowest minimum of cost and be performed principallyby volunteer local officials as “The Righteous _ Government” operates and lab0r’s four horsemen of the s s The'NEW DAY, apocalypse——rent, interest, proﬁts and taxes, shall be driven from the earth. , We believe in abolishing insurance and other forms of theft of the reward of labor; abolition of discrimina- tion, segregation and exploitation of minorities: scrap- ping of armaments and great military appropriations. Other powerful unifying incentives can be greatly stim- ulated by injecting a radical new zeal among the men and movements o-f the world. How to Bring This About This new zeal can come only by ﬁnding as many points of agreement as possible and avo-iding differences in achieving a cooperative program of collaboration on many vital parallel issues with political and religious groups with common interests. Many groups’ and world movements ardently advocate and strive for one or more objectives. Let’s trade as politicians do. We help you; you help us. Every other organization or movement which has a parallel plank in its platform should be in close contact and conference with the others to achieve an effective coordination through common united action. The many peace movements are at present making valuable ‘capital of this form of cooperation. Witness also the world-wide May Day and labo-r demon- strations. , The collaboration of allied inter-racial groups and oppressed minorities in all lands is sought through such world movements as the World Federation with; head- quarters in Akasaka, Tokyo, Japan. Similar activities and cooperation are offered by the Socialist and radical par- ties in practically all countries. «- Movements like the Citizens of the Worldfind a com- mon bond of union in people of all positions in all parts of the world and in many different kinds 0-f organiza- tions. Minority groups such as the Natives in many lands, the Gandhi movement of India, exiles from Ger- many and Ethiopia, and underground movements in many. countries are being brought into closer unityand a program of concerted national and world action to an extent never before attempted. , Cooperation through protpaganda, the press, inter- organizational conferences and contacts, public forums, petitions, mass demonstrations, united front actions, co- operative economic enterprises, public action pressure groups, pamphlets, exchange. of facilities, broadening the front to include more independent and liberal move- ments, are deﬁnite techniques used in making steps to- ward universal unity and the world state. IDEALISTIC PRINCIPLES OF BAHAISTS The Oneness of the world of humanity. Independent investigation of truth.

Stone Ridge Mansion. The Promised Land. Saturday, September 25, I937. A; D. F. D. Afternoon: |2:45 P. M. Oh, that man could but learn, when GOD speaks, His Words stand firm and ﬁnal for one and all; yet He Mercifully condescends to repeatedly stress and even beseech His erring Children to heed His Admoni- tions and turn from their wilful ways. It is only for their own Salvation that He so patiently teaches, for GOD is OMNIPOTENT, OMNISCIENT and com- pletely INDEPENDENT to man! Notwithstanding His tender Compassion, and in many instances individual Personal Attention, detest-_ able tendencies will manifest themselves in bodies that are no-t ever alert, to rob them of Peace and Happiness and every dpsirable Blessing, and cause others with whom they are in Contact to b.e equally expressive in a negative direction. This was explained as the work of the “other fellow” in the Dynamic Message of the LORD, FATHER DIVINE, given at the Stone Ridge Banquet Table, Saturday afternoon, September 25th. ‘ Where there is disagreement, the one who attempts’ to justify himself is condemning someone else and thus condemning GOD, or parably speaking of the Mystery of the Crown of Thorns placed on the Head of Jesus, as though crowning Him with honor, but piercing Him with...envy,. malice and strife. Read and study the~cor_1tents.of~this Mighty Message and discern the Mystery of true fasting, true consecra- tion and real sacriﬁce of life for your SAVIOUR! ‘, FATHER WE THANK THEE," o ” ' FATHER speaks as follows: PEACE EVERYONE: (“Peace, FATHER DEAR!” responded the happy group.) I see you all are waiting for Me to say something. But on different subjects, if you did not feel that I was wrong on those things, you would not continue to squabble and try to justify yourself. When I have spoken on a subject, as a”rule it is past and gone and it is established once and for- ever, and I heard someone say, “It is the last Word in any of the languages of the human race.” It is an» answer in every language, tongue and every people, speaking in their respective languages that each of them might ‘understand it when the Message is trans- mitted to them. ‘ When this is done, if those who are interested and those who are concerned would relax themselves, their attention at times would not be called again to the same thing, for the time cometh and now is, you should serve the LORD with gladness and enter in His Presence with Thanksgiving and with Praise, and into His Gates with Praise. All of these should be done by the F01- lowers of "GOD, FATHER DIVINE! If you cannot serve GOD with gladness, if you cannot enter His Presence with singing and thanksgiving and praise, why the time will come that you will not be permitted to enter His Presence. GOD Will Bring Everything Into Sutbjeciion That is your OCCUPATION! . . . to PRAISE GOD! PRAISING GOD is not conﬁned not bound to words alone it is true, but when you praise GOD whole-heartedly and sincerely with the Spirit of Sin-_ cerity, you will praise GOD with your hands, with your feet, with your thoughts and with your mind,-— you will praise GOD with all of your PHYSICAL BODILY FORM! PRAISING GOD, as I said, does not merely mean a person should just praise GODX in words of adoration, but praising GOD means that you should praise GOD in all GOD may say or do, knowing GOD’S» WAYS are RIGHT and yours are wrong, or in other words, know the One of Whom you call GOD is not the right one. KNOW one thing or the other, for you have to accept of it! . If GOD of Whom you call GOD is GOD and actually, Reigning in the GOD- SHIP Degree, He will bring everything into subjection to HIMSELF,—-I could have‘ said, I will bring every- thing into subjection to ME! That is the Mystery. S-o then as I say, when you desire to justify yourself, you may know deﬁnitely you cannot be in fellowship with ME, for if you are justifying yourself, you are condemning someone ‘else! If you are condemning someone else, no doubt you are condemning ME! . but I~‘brought out the little composition a little while ago‘: "No more vinegar and gall. . .‘ . No more a thorny crown . . A Can you not see the Mystery of that Crown of Thorns on the Head of JESUS, as it was described? . . . as though they were crowning Him with Honor, bu.t piercing Him with envy, with malice and with strife. By crowning GOD with such so-called Honor, but still trying to pierce another with thorns and thistles, you are putting a Crown of Thorns on GOD’S Head, and you are piercing Him in His Side! . . and you are giving Him VINEGAR and GALL! - Thai‘ GOD May Live Within You Truly might have one said by Inspiration as he , brought it out in a composition: ,.._r.....,._... _' vw. -.r.»..~x::.~»*‘».".~‘~-\~~v\,r~'\»=\o-*-"’=*":‘*“"- _‘ \‘.\H V \r,.\_,.\w _¥ V \‘ \{.\_ __.\‘\‘,—e_/~K~\’.-~\_ ,V\_z~V.\__ w\_, V“-.V_, V R,,‘_, Y ., \_r «V \. \/ K4 c/x./\x\,w ~/\/\ vvx, I ' : ~ ‘ ‘ ' . ._ ' -1. 4 ' .1 - « ', -\ .. .2. ‘ , .0 .-- t ' '-" 4—.\/NV.‘-\/'~_,'~‘/~\_/-‘v.‘_,»;7,-\/.V,"-‘J.V_"v’§_; "J‘V' V -..,J ‘V.-.J'\J‘V’ \/ \,"‘..,-' dz ~,.«' \/’\_/"\/&)'\/‘.,/'-.,.a of -.z x/A1)" KM «J \J\./ »./VJ J‘ ‘i S September 30, 1937 _1O Th‘,-e "Shall we go on to sin, Because Thy Grace abounds . . To crucify the LORD again, And open all His Wounds?” It was a question stressing the mind within the in- dividual. It came forth volitionally by Inspiration, tell- ing the ‘individual he should not go on and sin because GOD'S» Grace was so great to him, because GOD'S Compassion and Mercy were so INFINITE in Nature—- in GOD’S- NATURE—that GOD’S Mercy and Com- passion should not encourage you to go on in sin, be- cause GOD’S Mercy and Compassion is LIMITLESS, in other words—INF'INITE! The question came within by Inspiration to and through the composer: “Shall we go on to sin, Because Thy Grace abounds . . \ To crucify the Lord again, And open all His Wounds?” Iti is a privilege to know if you live in self you are in opposition to CHRIST, for CHRIST denied Himself in the Sonship Degree, and in the FATHERSHIP De— A gree He has done the same. This was a sample and. an example for the children of men, that they might copy after the fashion He had shown them in JESUS the Son. But this was not left alone,——through My Condescension I came again, making a self-denial on every hand that you as individuals might deny your- ‘ selves and fast out of your system every detestable characteristic and every mortal tendency, every human fancy and every human pleasure, and especially dispel all of that old preconceived prejudice that is in you, that GOD the INFINITE might live within you! Prejudice Has Robbed the Nations That was the MISSION for which I came,——-that those detestable tendencies might be eliminated, that they might be not only eliminated, but that they might be dispossessed and eradicated and dispelled from your consciousness in the act of expression, that you might- no longer express the slightest reflection of such a de- testable and hideous tendency or characteristic or ex- pression, that you might no longer express the slightest reflection of such a detestable and hideous tendency or characteristic or expression as that which isvcommonly known as prejudice, which has robbed the ‘nations of /Life, Health and Happiness! It robbed Cain in the Beginning of his rightful in- heritance, and it caused Cain to slay his brother. Be- cause of selﬁshness and prejudice he was driven from the Presence of GOD, and GOD will reiterate’ and re- produce and repeat the history again as He did then. Cain was driven from the Presence of GOD! ’Why»? Because of that prejudice created by jealousy and selfish- ness! He slew his brother because of prejudice firstly, expressedly, as being termed jealousy, he slew his brother! He hated his brother without a cause. ‘It was not a cause for him to hate him because he thought his brother was honored above him. But what came? . . . The spirit——o-r when the spirit as being termed the Life or the Blood of Abel, cried from the ground to where he- had been slain; GOD heard his cry and had compassion on him, thoughhe died, and accepted his spirit in consideration, but drove Cain from His Presence! Do you not see the Mystery? Job Recognized fho ALLNESS of GOD Truly might have Job said: I ."Even though He slay me, _ yet will I trust Him.” It may be imputed o-r reputed to have been GOD Who slew Abel then, but Abel by the spirit came forth into expression in a prediction through the person of Job . . . "Even though He slay me, . yet will I trust Him.” . . . for Job recognized the ALLNESS of GOD and the nothingness of the “other fellow”; therefore he did not recognize the power that was generally known to have been the “other fellow’s,” but Job considered GOD was the One thatihad all power in His Hand and ]ob considered GOD could destroy and He would defend, and by this Job said: “Even though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” Aren’t you glad! It was classed as if though GOD slew him because all Power is in GOD'S Hands, and man cannot hinder Him. GOD will give man some expression of power at times, and as the Word said, will give you over to your own delusion and cause you to believe a lie and be to the extreme reverse to that of .Blessed,—you know what it is! For this cause I say it is essential for each and every individual to deny himself or herself whole-hearteidly and rely o.n the FUNDAMENTAL! By so doing, you will not have to ask Me to take those detestable tend- encies and characteristics out of you, for you know I have told you nineteen hundred years ago and have re- told you in this Dispensation here recently, such kind cometh out'by FASTING and with PRAYER! FAST from those tendencies by refusing to allow them to function in you, by refusing to indulge in them or tolerate them, by refusing to allow them to have any I influence in you in words, deeds or actions, or even an‘ -' expression or reﬂection in your personal appearance, or 1‘ 2 even so much as in your countenance. Avoid the Appearance of Evil If those "other fellows” can even have an access enough in you to allow them to be expressed in a re- ﬂection as a sketch of the reality of them in the coun- tenance of your appearance, they -have some ‘access within and they will hinder and will prevent you from- doing what you might ordinarily do! If that old spirit of that mind can even so much as have an access in you, to express in you in the slightest expression or the slightest reﬂection of a sketch of a reﬂection, in your countenance, in your personal appearance, such an "other fellow” has some access in you if they can do , that much, or if he can do that much. Then he may stay there if nothing else but to reﬂect his ugliness in \ r iSeptembei' 30, 1937 ‘do to you,——just KILL you! . your personal appearance. If he cannot function in you and do what he wants to do, he will reflect his ugliness in your personal appearance and cause you to lo-ok just like the “other fellow.” Then looking like the “other fellow,” if he cannot use you in expression in words, in deeds or in actions, in gestures or suggestions or illustrations, he may re- ﬂect himself in you to an extent that he may stress the _minds of others and cause the reincarnation of his ex- pression to be reincarnated in another and reinculcated in them and in their minds, that they”may in turn speak from what they are seeing in you, from the reflection of that of which you should have FASTED out of you! Such kind cometh out only with FASTING and with you! I The Way ls Plain GO TO THE EXTREMEVREVERSE ‘TO THAT OF WHAT THOSE DETESTABLE PREJUDICIAL TENDENCIES WOULD SUGGEST! GO TO THE EXTREME REVERSE TO YOUR OLD PERSONAL SELFISH FEELINGS, UNTIL THEY WILL HAVE NO LONGER AN EXISTENCE WITHIN YOU! \Y/hen they have no longer a place to exist even in your countenance _or appearance, words, deeds or actions,. then and there they will leave you, for that is the true way of FASTING! Aren't you glad! LORD!” assured the hearers.) The way is PLAIN! The way is so plain a way- faring man, yea, even though he be a fool, he need not err. He need not err, for the very Spirit o-f My Pres- ence will teach him WISDOM and will give him UN- DERSTANDING where there is none! Such kind cometh out only with FASTING and with PRAYER! FAST from every detestable tendency that is in you! FAST from every undesirable expression or sense of feelings! FAST from those expressions for they are the “other fellow” expressed, and the “other fel- low” expressed in you will suggest something to you ' that is in opposition to someone else, and_ that old sug- gestion is the “other fellow” and he must return to;the place from when he came! He has no longeran» ex- istence in the Kingdom! Such kind cometh out only with FASTING and with PRAYER! That is the mystery! . ' Even if he can even so much as use your eyes to re- flect him, to express displeasure, disapprovalness ‘or disregard for another, he is using you! He may not come outiopenly and do something publicly detrimental ——KNOWINGLY detrimental——which is to say, know- ingly detrimental to others. To others it may not be known -that it is detrimental, but its very appearance in you in any way of expression, if he will appear in you from any angle of expression, why such an appearance is detrimental! It is detrimental for him to have any- thing to do with you, for that is exactly what he will . . . give you all sorts of diseases, afflictions and ailments, until he severs you PRAYER! FAST from those tendencies, if they kill ("So glad,” ‘i . -Vs-*»‘~ "‘I-=»'»~ii-7>'<'~:?-«.—~w- "*7 7 ‘ 1 Tillie, Nsw!‘u-In x . 11‘ 7! completely from the Presence of GOD and you will have no longer an access in the Grace and in this Call- ing wherewith you‘ are called! Prove Your Redemption What I have said this morning or this afternoon I whichever, to one, I have said to all‘,———a Message mean- ing every living creature, that they all might plainly see Me and discern the Mystery of true FASTING and of true CONSECRATION and of truthfully SACRI- FICING your life for your SAVIOUR! That is the only way to win the Victory over the "other fellow," even though you may say he is not in you. So long as he, within you, can be offended and express it in the way of resentfulness or resentment, it is an outward reflection of him, though he may tell you by suggestion you are just and right in what you are saying and in what you have been thinking and in what you are doing, that he might have an access within and carry you back where you came from! i I heard you say from vice and from crime, from sin and from shame and from every detestable thing I lifted you! I heard you say I had REDEEMED you from those detestable characteristics and tendencies! If this is true, PROVE IT by what you say and by what you do! Upon this Foundation if you will stand, you will see the INFINITENESS of GOD and the ﬁnite- ness of man, and you will not copy after him not try to do what man may say concerning himself or what he may suggest, for his way is DEATH, but GOD’S Way is LIFE! "E" . I had striven to refrain from speaking, for when I have spoken on a subject I have said the last Word in the human language, unless I mold something to be injected or inserted in your vocabulary; but if you continue to .->:t,alk, trying to justify yourself, naturally I may speak again, not so much in your defense as it may be termed, nor for the purpose of trying to condemn, but in the defense of those with whom you stand and others that are with.

It is a reality whether it appears to be or not, but it is that it might be a LIVING REALITY in you and in your experience, and no longer be merely a supposition, but be your conscious conviction and realization estab- lished! ~ ' .

They are not looking for another, for they have the SATISFYING POR- TION,—-that which will SATISFY them and will justify them and will condemn everything within them that is not according to Me and according to My Plan! That is what it means! To be S-ATISFIED, it means you KNOW your GOD, or in other words you have SEEN your GOD; and when you KNOW your GOD in reality, you know your GOD /is PRESENT with you! . . . not only now, but here, now and elsewhere, throughout all ETERNITY -and henceforth and forever —OMNI-PRESENT as well as Present with you here and now! ' “ Unconscious of the Ever-Presence When this is known distinctly and you are fully con- vinced, ‘then and th-ere you can relax your conscious mentality and rely on the FUNDAMENTAL~whole- heartedly, and know I Am with you and see you and hear you wheresoever you go and wheresoever you are. You are not conscious of My Presence when you are disgruntled, disagreeable, fussing and confused in My Personal absence as you would not be, say or do in My Personal Presence. If I would appear you would jump, because I do not appear to be there at the time you said what you have said and do what you have ‘done, because you are not conscious of My Personal Presence! Hence if you are not conscious ofiMy Per- sonal Presence on those terms, and you are led to do those things, you feel My absence from you; therefore 9 I you are not conscious of My EVER-PRESENCE", else you would not do those things you do. Then you think to yourselves, “I wonder why it is FATHER does not like to come aroun<;l;,where I stay,” or wheresoever it is. I LIVE in a hot-bed“'of PRAISES! I LIVE in LOVE and KINDNESS! I LOVE those who love and I PRAISE those who praise, those who whole- heartedly praise ME! * ' As a question came forth the other day: “Who are A GOD’S chosen people?” The chosen people are the ones of whom have chosen GOD! If you do not choose ME’, I. will not choose you! . . . therefore, you have not been chosen because you have not chosen ME whole-heartedly! [But everyone who whole-heartedly chooses_ ME, I will completely choose them in spirit, body and mind; and have access over them in all things and all thingsthat concern them. Then and only then can they express the reality of My LOVE! Then and only then can they recognize the reality of My EVER- PRESENCE! Then and only then can they live in the conscious conviction of the tangibilization of ‘GOD as the TANGIBILATOR of the desirable things they may seek! .4 GOD Tangibilates All Things Those things may be in a vision . . . those things may be in a dream . . . those things may be in your imagination! . . . but when you are conscious of Me I will bring them into outer expression. I will TANGI- BILATE them and cause you to observe them just as they are and be conscious of them in your conscious conviction‘and realization. This is not a supposition! . . . This is not an imagination, I say! . . . Itis your conscious conviction and realization of the tangibiliza- tion. of your CREATOR, as the TANGIBILATOR of spiritual things and of all invisible things that pertain to this life in which we are now living. l Those things that you desire can be actually material- ized! They can only be materialized when you bring your bodies into subjection and realize the Truth by conviction. When you are consciously convinced of the Mystery, the reality of it will come to you, for GOD will make it real andjcause you to ,realize,and cause others to vividly visualize, and theyiin turn by reiteration will materialize even as you have done. You have been materializing the negative all the time, having all sorts of materialized confusion, negative, adverse and undesirable conditions in your material or physical system, getting a great. big belly-full of it at times! That is the way you do! . . . but when you visualize the POSITIVE and realize the same, the same ~ will be materialized in My Great and Holy and Mar- _ velous, INFINITE NAME!

September 30, 1937-»: September 30, 19$7 - T '12 e I A GOODLY NUMBER AT THE» FORUM I |4+I1 STREET After political instructions had been given by one of FATHER’S workers, the Forum opened with Praises to HIM Who is the Founder of the Righteous Gov- ernment. It was’ encouraging to note the increased attendance. The planks on economics were read and there were many expressions on them. One of the Angels recited the Preamble to the Righteous Government Platform. We thank FATHER for sending visitors, some of whom were Miss Ida Denny and her artists, James Owens, the accordion player, and Miss Flonnuer Snell, the opera singer. All present enjoyed FATHER'S Talent in ‘the artists. " We were’ pleased to have Dr. Simpson, the WPA I supervisor of the Divine schools, with us. He told how he_ formerly received large salaries and still was never’ satisﬁed. But now " that he is working with FATHER'S children he is much better satisfied to work for one fifth of the salary he once received and willing to work any length of time and never tires. At the conclusion of his remarks FATHER’S Message at Divine Greenkill Park, September 18th, was read. It may seem strange to see such a beautiful auditor- ium unfilled, but*we know that FATHER does all things in HIS Own Time; so with the growing in-’ terest in the Forum here we believe it will not be long before this auditorium will be ﬁlled and blessed with the Presence of GOD Himself.

A visiting_angel‘from San Francisco and Oakland told how FATHER is guid- ing the Children Victoriously out there and cited in- cidents that occured in her own trip across the con- tinent. As it is nearing election time the principal theme of the evening's talks was the New York State election law. The speakers are expected to entertain. questions which they are to answer as they did on this occasion. ,Dr. Joseph Broadman, who has becorfie thoroughly interested in the activities of the movement and partici- pates in them almost all the time he can spare from his business, stated that the best cooperation of capital and labor he had seen anywhere was in the Promised Land where he had spent several days recently. 7 =f "*-‘.*.'.‘>-.-‘,3’-V, ' .- .

Ponce DEPARTMENT CITY or NEW YORK Safety Campaign——Traffic Precinct "E" By Patrolman Geo. W. Walsh Here are a few good rules for you to remember: Consider the rights and privileges of others. Ex- "tend your courtesy to the highway. Drive your car at a reasonable and proper speed at all times. Give full and undivided attention to your driving. Make full allowances for weather and road conditions. Keep your brakes, lights and steering mechanism in good working order. Do not insist on the “right of way.” Your life is'much more important. Watch the car ahead. Know what is behind you. Never pass another vehicle on a hill, curve, bridge, railroad grade crossing, or at any point where the view is obstructed. Slow down at crossings, street intersections, schools, and other dangerous places. Keep to the right and 'care- fully observe road markings and warning signs. If you are going to turn to the left, keep to the traffic lane next to the center of the street. Give the correct hand signal before turning or stopping. Always .be ready for any emergency. Be extra careful when pass- ing children or aged or infirm persons. Slow down whenapproachingpedestrians, stop if in doubt. Re- member that alcohol and gasoline do not make a good mixture. Familiarize yourself with traffic regulations, and observe éthem. Treat the other fellow as you'd like to have him treat you. ‘ ‘ LIVING To touch the cup with eager lips and taste, not drain it; To woo and tempt and court a bliss, yet not attain it; To fondle and caress a joy, yet hold it lightly, Lest it become a ‘necessity, and cling too tightly; To watch the sun sink in the west without regretting; To hail its advent in the east, the night forgetting; To smother care in happiness and grief in’ laughter; To hold the present close, not questioning hereafter; To have enough to share, to know the joy of giving; To thrill with all the sweets of life-—that’s living.

Ravenel, ' ' Route 2, Box 20, Eutawville, S. C. . . My dear Reverend Ravenel: ‘ r , Having received yours of the 23rd of August, I AM writing to express MY appreciation for the same. It is written: "Therefore with Joy shalliwe draw water out of the Wells of Salvation.” Parably speaking, the very Wells o-f Salvation are the Wellspring of Life— the Omniscience of God, and I have said as a Quota- tion or Motto» concerning the same: “Therelaxation of the conscious mentality is but the Re-Conception of God’s Ornniscience.” By interpretation, I AM showing men the significance of the ‘lbove, showing them ‘how to draw water, which is to say, how to _draw Life, how to draw W/isdom, inowledge and Understanding from the Fount of God’s Omniscienice. As men come to the conscious recognition of the ~. Presence of God, they automatically relax from every preconceived idea,,opinion and version. They no longer seek to live in, or function in the Adamic plane of con- sciousness, but they seek to be born of the Spirit and Mind of iG0d. They seek the Happiness, the Peace, the Joy, the Success and the Prosperity that is of God, and hence, they draw from the Wells of Salvation these ex- pressions of Life. I They draw them ﬁrstly within their conscious con- sideration, then into practical expression, in their lives and affairs, wherein you area witness to the same, as Miss Pure-in-Heart has, in the Spirit of Righteousness, paid to your Church the sum of $2.00 back dues. As all men come into the Grace of the Spirit of the Word of this Teaching, and live according to My Sta- tutes, of which I AM daily exhibiting same, as I have long since, said: I will preach Christ in Words, but more so in deeds and in actions and I will put MY Spirit in them and cause them to walk in MY Statutes, each and ‘all will be exactly as I AM. Hence, I desire that you and all who may be con- cerned might be even the same, as this leaves ME Ever Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Suc- cessful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even in every atom, ﬁbre and cell of MY Bodily Form.

Dear Father Divine: A miracle happened to me yesterday. I received a let- ter from M. C. Gilbert, 835 Union St., Oakland, Cal., containing Fifty Dollars. This was due me many years . ago, and I even appealed to the civil courts for it in vain, and now, because of YOUR influence, he has sent it to me, unsolicited, with a request that I acknowledge it and send the receipt to YOU. Father Divine, to- me this is more miraculous than manna from heaven. I know just what sacrifices and actual suffering must have gone into the saving of this money and, while it means a great deal to me, for I am ‘a lifer in here and friendless, the act itself has _re'newed The NEW DAY ‘ j1s‘— my faith inhuman nature and in the power of prayer.

Tiehachapi, California My dear Mrs. Gellizone:—— I write to advise I received your letter of a month past, but have been delayed in responding due to the heavy amount of correspondence that I receive from all parts of the world, much of it being letters of apprecia- tion, the same as yours, for the noble and Righteous Acts of MY followers. , I AM especially glad to find you strengthened in hu- A manity, although I would not desire that you have Faith in the humanityiof yesterday, of whom it is written: “The arms of flesh will fail you, you dare not trust your own.” But as I extend this Light of Christianity in a. practical and scientific manner of expression, mankind the world over is advancing, finding True Christianity to be a PRINCIPLE, unrestricted to the field or world of Religion, but a Factor for all business, social and po-' litical activities. For this Cause, you will find millions upon millions ‘ of MY followers everywhere, walking in the newness of Life, exhibiting in all of their daily experiences and affairs, this Principle of Righteousness, Justice and Truth that I have instilled and inculcated within them. “As the little leaven leaveneth the whole lump,” so has the Spirit of the WORD of Righteousness, as a Seed im- _ planted within the hearts of men, enveloped and em- bodied them completely, whereby humanity in general is expressing a higher sense of morality, being more de- pendable and their endeavors more noble. . . Hence, as you become conscious of the Truth‘ in,Right- eousness—-the Right-Use-ness of it, and employ this Standard of Expression in all of your affairs, you will be liberated from all that is undesirable, finding your Free- dom, mentally, Spiritually and otherwise, of which it is written:—"If you know the Truth the Truth will set you free.” VX’/ith every good wish for your Success and Happi- njess, desiring you to be as I AM, this ‘leaves ME Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Successful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb-, vein and bone and even in every atom», fibre and cell of MY Bodily Form. g Respectfully and Sincere, I AM M]DIV1NE:; REV.

While our great psychologists write of the schemes and plans of men to bring about social and ‘political re- forms, while they lecture at length and publish the con- ceptions of men of ingenious and acute minds, men whose experiences have led them to feel keenly, the needs of the people, and whose calculations of public in- terests evoke theories for adoption, I AM silently turn- ing. the Key of Life in the lock of the door of the hearts of ‘men, entering in in the Spiritlof Mind and in the Mind of MY Spirit, moving within them in the Spirit and Mind of Righteousness, Justice and Truth. Hence, I stand in the midst of men, not as an Ideal- ist, neither a Theorist, but as a Doer of the Word— even as I have long since said; and composed this Motto in the consideration of the same—'I will preach Christ in Words, but more so in DEEDS and in ACTIONS and I will put MY Spirit in them and Cause them to walk in MY Statutes. ' A Now merely hanging up a Law before the eyes of the people is insufficient to ‘cause them to walk in the light and in the Spirit of such a Law, but in the Light of this Advanced, Modern Spiritual Civilization, I AM walking, moving and living mentally and Spiritually within the hearts and minds and lives of men, that theirgoing might be directed from a heart and a mind that is in- culcated with the Spirit of Truth, for as the Law and Principle of Life is born and perceived IN men, their .-\ .-.

As a sample and as an example of the above, you have written of a Righteous Act of One of MY followers, who have definitely proven the results of MY Work and Mission among men. I AM instituting the Spirit of Righteousness, of Honesty, of Justice and of Truth in the lives of all people that all men might move as One Mass, to advance in science in social, political, eco- nomic and other fields of expression upon this Funda- mental Principle of Right Thinking and Right Acting. Millions now walking in MY Statutes will strengthen the Law that others might see the practicality of it and come under its control, even as I desire you and those concerned to stand in the Success of the same and be as I AM, as this leaves ME Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peace- ful, Lively, Loving, Successful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even in every atom, fibre ' and cell of MY Bodily Form.

If I had been associated with them, also if I had been conne-cted with the World Echo, which you also received, none of them would have gone into a litigation, as I do not endorse any person or per- sons or organization or newspapers to be in debt or owe bills of any kind.

M. Divine Rev. Dear Sir,:— I am desired by an old friend of mine, Mrs. M. J. Seables, 21 Roberts Avenue, Santa Cruz, Cal., U. S. A. to tell YOU that she has paid in full an old Debt con- _ tracted 20 years ago, and beg to thank YOU for YOUR influence for Good over her by YOUR Teaching of Honesty & Good Will with Peace toward all men & Pray that YOUR Mission of Peace may be abundantly blessed by YOUR Teaching. . Yours truly, P. NORTH. Reply from FATHER PEACE "SEPTEMBER 16, 1937 A. D. F. D. Mr. Preston North Coal Merchant Ulverston Lancashire, England -My dear Mr. North :— I write to advise receipt of your letter of acknowledg- ment for the debt paid of twenty years standing by one _ of MY followers, of which I AM appreciative of the same. Abounding in the Works of the Law, MY followers are widening their borders of Opportunities and are standing in the flow of Success and Prosperity. They - are building new bridges, over and above the old order v‘ ‘ The NEW DAY 17 of things, that they might escape the ways of men, and pass over their limited, riskycourse»-of direction. It is a privilege and a pleasure to observe the millions standing so firmly and securely upon MY Righteous Government Platform, enacting in their daily affairs the Righteous Command of the same. Upon this Law and Principle are they finding relief from the hardships they have known. They are freed automatically from limited and adverse conditions,-and they are intelligently the master of any situation, for by the Light of this Teach- ing, they are mentally and Spiritually, yea, morally awakened to Righteousness, Justice and Truth. They have a Standard to go by, and through their devotion and consecration, and through the right concept of their understanding, they are guided into doing what is right and in taking the right course of action. As I transmit MY S-pirit and MY Mind to the Chil- dren of Men, I AM molding and shaping them in the consciousness of the same. I ‘AM forming their lives and building them characteristically according to the Mind of Righteousness that the outward expressions of their lives might be the positive results of their minds within. Religiously it is declared: “As a man soweth so shall he also reap.” So psychologically declare I, that the outward expression of things—is-but the condition of the mind within. S In the Light of this New Day, millions of MY fol- lowers the world over are actually established. They no longer stand in dark places, standing in the misconcep- tions and misunderstanding of things, but they are men- tally and Spiritually Alert to Righteousness, Justice and Truth, and their lives show that they are quickened therein, for those who lived in the underworld are no longer creatures of the underworld; those who lived false and dishonest lives, and those who were Socially, Politically and Religiously unrighteous, no longer re- main creatures to such. In Righteousness, they have . found GOD. In Righteousness, they have found Peace, and Happiness, they have found Success and Prosperity, for they have, . {rightly divided (weighed) the Word of Truth.” Sincerely wishing you every Success in your business and private affairs, this leaves ME as I AM Ever Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Successful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even in every atom, fibre and cell of MY Bodily Form.

At a banquet at Town Hall in New York, arranged by Dr. Joseph Broadman, opportunity was given representatives of Peace movements in America, for greeting Mr. B. Howie, a prominent -Friend (Quaker) and worker for peace from Victoria, Aus- tralia. Dr. Broadman had lo-ng had contact by corre- ,,.spondence with Mr. Howie but they had never met. Mr. Howie was in America for the first time to attend an International Conference o-f Friends in Philadelphia. Present at the banquet were many persons promi- I nently engaged in the cause of World Peace in this country including a mixed delegation of six from FATHER DIVINE’S Peace Mission movement. Most of those present seemed to be perplexed as to what methods would be most effective in bringing about real peace and many different suggestions were advo- cated. Brother John-Lamb read excerpts from the In- ternational Righteous Government Platform pertain- ing to peace, and as we know, it is the most effective program possible for bringing permanent peacelto the . world. 2 Mr. Howie covered the history of peace movements, not only in Australia but in Europe and America, from their inception to the present. He also included a brief description of the continent “down under.” He quoted Plato as saying, “The cause of war is money.” He said that in war time "there is nothing so waste-fully cheap in the eyes of men as human life and nothing so sacred as property.” A He proposed that in the next war a draft of ‘all mate- rial wealth be put into effect before we permit a draft of human life. Dr. Broadman was the toastmaster of the occasion. All signed an autograph. book to present to Mr. Howie. Mr. Howie quoted Alexander Hamilton: "Military force and liberty are incompatible.” He said the League of Nations. should be the conscience and not the war office of the world. .A representative of the Biosophical Institute called for an Institution of international civil service, schools and academies where the principles of peace and peace- ful cooperation are taught instead of military tactics and something to the opposite of our West Point and Annapolisfwhere peace counsellors, diplomatic and foreign embassy-service men are trained. He also stressed the need for secretaries of Peace. ‘September 30, 193.7 AMERICAN LEGION VETOES FOREIGNLR WARS . An estimated five hundred thousand persons, Ameri- , can Legionnaires with members of their families and of auxiliary branches, invaded and ‘occupied’ New York for several days last week. They made sure the city would notice them by smashing some windows and breaking a few things downtown which caused other business places to board up their fronts in some sec- tions. One corner lunch stand near Times Square re- ports selling over fifteen tons of "hot dogs” alone be- sides other things such as hamburgers and drinks. Imitation" railroad engines built over. automobiles with bells ringing were seen dashing all around town. They were the official vehicles of the “Forty and Eight,” the aristocracy of the Legion who went over- seas and rodein the little French box cars labeled dur- ing the wartime, “-40 hommes ou 8 cheveaux," which means 40 men or eight horses. The most significant thing the Legion did in its con- vention in New York was to vote in assembly against participating in any foreign war again. This is one of the most effective notes for peace that has been struck in recent war-mad months. Legionnaires in twos and threes and squads dropped into Peace Missions here and there in the city to sit and listen or ask questionsabout FATHER DIVINE, whose Name is on the lips of all people everywhere these days, it seems. When the worldasks for HIM and wants HIM intensely enough——the King of Peace—then there shall be no more war. - . __:_j_ SAFETY SAYINGS A MAN may have many college degrees——he may understand Einstein's theory of relativity—-or he may be, a distinguished globe trotter, but unless he knows the’ traffic laws of the state and city in which he drives, his education is not complete. A man may be a “clear”, a “lamb”, or even a “horse for work”, but to the public he is just a "road hog” when he monopolizes the middle of the road. ‘ Sleep walking is dangerous—asleep on the job is bad —“Asleep in the Deep,” that’s music, but asleep at the wheel, that’s suicide. Twilight hour is the zero hour for dangerous driving; so slow down at sundown. .- Sleeping on the edge of a roof or taking a sunbath on K the wing of an aeroplane are not much more dangerous than trying to_repair a car on the highway instead of getting off on the side of the road. CHEMICAL PRODUCTS USE MUCH COTTON Rayon, cellophane, laquers, plastics, coated fabrics, safety glass, and photographic film along with celluloid . and other cellulose products require half a billion pounds of cotton linters and purified wood pulp in their manu- facture annually, valued at a quarter of a billion dollars. /‘ September 30, 1937, JOINT LETTERS To AGENTS AND SUBSCRI- BERS.

IN HIS STEPS ‘The road is too rough,’ I said, ‘Dear Lord, There are stones that hurt me so.’ And He said, “Dear Child, I understand, I walked it long ago.” ‘But there’s a cool green path,’ I said, Let me walk there for a time,’ ‘ “No child,” He gently answered me, “The green road does not climb.” ‘My burden is far too great,’ I said, ‘How can I bear it~so?’v “ “My child,” He said,.p“I remember its weight, I carried my cross, you know.” ' ‘But’ I said, ‘I wish there were friends with me, Who would make my way their own.’ ~ “Oh yes,” He said, “Gethsemane \Y/as hard to face alone.” And so I climb the stony path, “ Content at last to know .

September 8. I937, A. D. F. D. 5:30 o'C|ockv A marvelous scientific MES-SAGE, the Words of which‘were like unto a medicine _for our bodies, Spirit and Mind, were still quite fresh in our mentality, and the great thoughts incorporated therein, were being re- hearsed and pondered over in our minds. This was a rich, deep MES-SAGE, given as a FREE GIFT to all, by FATHER, at the Midnight Banquet. It was rich in W/ISDOM and deep in its Philosophy. It was satisfying and Supreme, and all that the mentality of man, however“ developed, could hope for. It was long hours after midnight and the Banquet which was an occasion of much joy and merriment, yet with great Spiritual power, exhilarated every Living Soul who tarried within the Gates of the Temple of the LIV- ING GOD, as they partook of the Songs of Praise, lis- tened with attentiveness to the testimonies and expres- sion of Thanksgiving,_and enjoyed beyond mere words of expression the great MESSAGE which was delivered - by the LORD. FATHER incorporated some very deep thoughts in the MES-SAGE, which were not only signi- ficant, b.ut worthy of great consideration, particularly, the thought on the Constitutionality of our Constitution. FATHER had explained at the Banquet the far-sight- edness of the Framers of the Constitution of America, in granting to its citizens the right te serve GOD ac- cording’ to the dictates of their own conscience. FATHER further explained wheresoever there is a vio- lation to the Constitution in granting protection to each and all of its citizens, according to-the plan and the purpose of same, and wheresoever a-law, rule or regula- tion is enacted and enforced, compelling its citizens to u comply with a law, rule or regulation "inf-violation to the original-plan and purpose and the Constitutionality- ‘of the Constitution, such compliance to such unconstitu-“ tional laws, rules and regulations should be made through protest. The question of vaccination—compulsory vaccination among the school children at this particular‘ time seems to be quite a problem and thesame was mentioned to FATHER in the Office after the Banquet. FATHER stated -that according to the RIGHTEOUS GOVERN- MENT PLATFORM, compulsory vaccination should be considered under our RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT Law, which states that “Physicians and doctors must guarantee a cure, and a complete cure, and the lives of the individuals. If ‘not, they will be held responsible and sued for the death of the person or persons.” FATHER suggestedthat this situation might be met with, by the individuals submitting themselves to; such -.4.!r94‘9¢:3~;9-eQ4:P£9‘9¢.4*:9P. .,,. .. . .. ... . ,‘1»V_,,u,- *_ ,>;A:>‘t lg _.-.-_ \.(_.g_,.:_.\7‘,x_:!. 3 ,1‘ 5-. x ‘ ~ _.. .- .- .. .. -- rule, law and regulation as are required in violation to their Religious Belief, but they should also submit a letter in writing, setting forth their protest. In regard to this, FATHER said the following: I The Followers, they could speak from that angle; not only speak it, but they could writethem aletter, saying that the Constitution guarantees the FREEDOM of Re- ligious worship or Religious Liberty to each and every one of its Subjects,. . .for, it is essential for you to make an explanation on such grounds regarding such rulings that are made. Those who make explanation of such, even though you be in the hands of the law, it is just the same as though you are in Court, when they over-rule something that you may suggest, or something you may‘ say. If you know what you are saying, or requesting is according to the Constitution, why you would make that explanation in the Court. " In making the explanation, it may be necessaryito appeal to the Higher Court, which would no ilojngerd place you under the ruling and under the jurisdiction of , . , that court—the lower court. You would be under a higher‘ p ,_ __ ruling of that especial ruling of that lower court. So it is in this particular issue of which I AM now speak- ing. If the ruling of the Health Department, according to the State_Constitution, requests that each and every one be vaccinated, and have medical treatment, if such an individual demands and-guarantees under such ruling, that such treatment will bring the desirable results, with no injuries to the person or persons whom they are treat- . ing—if they rule that it must be done with or without such, it should be done and permitted by the defendants or by the patient in protest you see, under the Constitu- tion that their Constitutional rights are being violated; ' that they demand a guarantee over and above their ruling, but yet they will submit to it under protest, and ‘only ‘under protest with such a statement recorded as‘ given to them, protesting against such ruling as itiis declared tobe in their consideration, iniviolation to the «Constitution. Why naturally, the Constitution would protect its own rights, or your own'rig_hts and would protect its own rights by you taking’ an appeal to ‘a. {Higher Court if there would be a’ violation to the Consti- I tution. They could have requested it, or demanded it openly; the only difference is by them writing a letter protesting such a ruling, and the request from the authorities, but yet submitting to it, with the understanding they will guarantee the protection according to My RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT PLATFORM and the harmlessness of it, and if they do, why naturally, it would be more justi- fiable, and then a letter to that effect should be in evi- _ dence, by keeping a copy of the same, you see, showing that they have protested under the Constitution, that they were not given; their Consitutional rights toobe free to express, especially in the case of vaccination, when the children were not sick and were not subject to an*y?con- tagious disease which would affect anyone else, you see. i T hey have a right to be free to express in that way, to- September 30:. .1-‘Z13-A7: : September 3'0, 1937 The NEW DAY .9- 21 have control overtheir children under the Constitution, but not under the Constitution of the State of New York, therefore, you would appeal the State of New York, through the Supreme Court, and the Constitution of the United States would have to protect itself. That is the idea, for if the Constitution will not protect the rights of the people, according to its oath of the founda- tion of the Government, why naturally the Government would perish from the earth, by the violation of its own oath of establishment, you see. That is the idea. That is why Abraham Lincoln spoke of such with reference to the Law: “The law through the people, and by the people, and for the people, that the Government might not perish from the earth.” Naturally, the Government would perish from the earth, if they ‘violate its own law; hence, the Constitu- a tion itself, if it violates its own self for the benefit of appeasing some limited few, or even some state that is in opposition to- the Constitution; therefore the Consti- tution would perish from the earth, and the Govern- ment would perish from the earth, by not being a Gov- ernment for the people, through the people and by the people generally, and not for a limited few. You must transcend, and go far beyond their limited authority, and especially of the state constitution and go under the Constitution of the United States Religio-usly. You have authority transcending the Constitution; I mean, you have FREEDOM transcending the Constitu- tion. You are not bound by the Constitution, only the rights of the Constitution which should give you the right to your freedom. THANK YOU FATHER A FATHER DIVINE CALENDAR A FATHER DIVINE calendar for 1937 (strangely it leaves off the A. D. F. D.) is in the possession of some of FATHER’S Children in New York. The calendar, a loose leaf turn-over type, came from Australia and was compiled by Lee Bedford. The inside back cover con- tains an announcement of the address, dates of meeting and telephone of Harmony Center, Hosking Place, 86a Pitt St., Sydney. The top word on the cover and over each month is "Peace". The cover contains a quotation from one of E FATHER'S Messages, "I have come to stand for RIGHTEOUSNESS, JUS- TICE and TRUTH and I shall stand for it though all Earth oppose.” - , On each page over the calendar space are about three quotations, some original, some FATHER'S mottoes or quotations from His lectures. _ . Some choice quotations include: "I say——Let all the nati_ons of the earth recognize the Presence of GOD in the Flesh. By such a recognition they will be saved from sin and death.” "The earth belongs to the Lord, but He allowed you to claim it,” V a “One Family, One Language, One Money, One Flag- One GOD.” “All can have a Continuous Programme of Happy Heaven by tuning in on ‘Station G-O-D’ as a dynamic reality Personified on the earth plane.” “To be Lost in the Infinite is the Way Out of the Old and into the New.” “I am bringing you back to the Garden of Eden from whence you were driven." “I have broken down the wall between Races, Creeds and Colors.” For December the quotation is, “The Christmas Tree symbolizes the Ever-green-ness and Ever-real-ness of the Christ in our lives.” ' , “GOD will increase if you will ask, affirm, give thanks and give praises and then Live the life accord- ingly, for He said: Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and ye shall find. Knock, and the door shall be opened unto you.” ' "You have Peace with GOD by speaking positive, living positive, and being. positive.” I And on the last page: “Thank You, FATHER, for all your Blessings to All." FATHER INFLUENCING THE MINDS ' OF MEN Recently at a Righteous Government Forum meeting * at the Peace Mission at No. 24 West 114th St., several testimonies came forth relative to FATHER’S influence on the minds of men in the world. One brother testi- fied that he had sought a quiet place in a public park to rest and meditate and three different times in a period of two days he was disturbed by drunken persons and stragglers who sat down beside him and started a conver- sation by asking. the brother if he knew anything about FATHER DIVINE. Another brother testified that he was stopped by a drunken man on the street who started a rambling con- versation and then turned to what was evidently the - chief preoccupation of his mind. He asked him what he ‘knew about FATHER. He said He loved FATHER very much and that FATHER is going to rule everything in this world. He admitted he knew he must come to FATHER but he wasn't able to yet because of the hold his habits have upon him. He said he had a song about ‘FATHER which he sings everywhere he goes entitled, “FATHER’s going to rule this World, Don't You Know!” Then he began singing the song. Such is the fulfillment of the saying that "A drunken man speaks a sober man's mind."

The Cooperative League, 167 West 12th St., New York and other agen- cies provide various kinds of literature for study by pros- pective cooperative organizers and members. In a slightly different sense cooperatives believe in “educating” members and prospective members, a mod- est and modified form of advertising and newspaper an- nouncements rather than costly advertising campaigns which -capitalist firms put on. Cooperatives pay no “dividends,” anddivide no “pro- fits.” They divide their "savings” among customers and not the investors. We no longer speak of “tolls” on highways but taxes instead. Money does not control the vote in cooperatives. No matter how many units may be owned by one individual, each person who owns membership shares has one vote and no more. _ The middleman is eliminated. A cooperative store is a buying agency for its members. The middleman’s pro- fits become cooperative savings under this plan. Patronage refunds are periodic returns of savings to members, proportionate to the use they, as individuals, make of the cooperative. There are no dividends on investments, and very limited returns on capital. This avoids speculation and debts, which are dangerous. Every membercan, and should help run his own co- operative. The ideals of the cooperative method of doing busi- . ness are: the destruction of monopoly, the triumph of the cooperative method over all other forms of business, and the building of a better life for all the people. It also helps people get a higher price for what they sell and results in a lower price for what they buy. BROOKLYN CENTRAL, LIBRARY URGED In practically every Protestant church in Brooklyn, preachers of the ‘various denominations urged their flocks on a recent Sunday to write directly to Secretary of the Interior Ickes to bring realization to the 30-year campaign for a Central.Library. 5 ' ' “Central Library Sunday” was observed in more than 300 Brooklyn churches. Petitions were circulated at the houses of worship calling upon Mr. Ickes to make avail- able sufficient PWA funds to complete the hollow shell at Prospect Park Plaza into amonumental central library for the greatest of the five boroughs. A The fight for the Central Library has been going on for more than 30 years, and a beautiful building was started 20 years ago, but work was halted because of the VY/orld War and was not resumed until last year. Recently the Library Board of Trustees, of which Fed- eral Judge Edwin L. Garvin is president, decided that the quickest way to get Federal funds for completion of the building would be to have a show of strength.

Her "truancy” was overlooked, however, when it was found that she had taken a day off to celebrate her’ 88th birthday, and in her honor the whole class in English at Union Baptist Church, 249 West 145th Street, got the day off also, with a delegation of fellow-students calling at her home with gifts. For "Mother” Bryant, as she is more familiarly known to her class-mates, who themselves range from 19 to 75 years, also is the oldest student in New York going to school. She has been attending the free adult class in English for three years and daily has been at her desk at 10 A. M. to continue her studies in reading and writ- ing. Shé is rated as the most diligent student there. Mother Bryant is an ex-slave, who with her family fled to Northern territory 70 years ago. She started work at an age when most children start to go to school and never had the opportunity to read and write English She meanwhile raised nine children, and now has thirty-four grand-chil- dren, fourteen great grand-children and three great- ' great grand-children. She also enjoys prerogatives in school not accorded her younger class-mates, inasmuch as she sometimes admonishes them to "hurry and acquire knowledge, else I will far outstrip you all.” FELLOWS !

OUR FATHER'S MESSAGE At the Banquet Table V 20 West I |5’rh Street. New York City On Thursday Afternoon September 23. I937 A. D. F?-D. Time: |2:30 o'clock (Confessions) It is a great Blessing to be hid in CHRIST, for ones A life to be dead, and the individual to be hid with CHRIST in GOD. It is only when one is completely hid in CHRIST so that the mortal man is not discerned nor seen that GOD can take pleasure in that individual, for GOD despises mortality. HE loves only His Own Spirit. ’ ‘ After weeks, months and years of daily Teaching, both by precept and by example, when one comes forth with a testimony justifying another and condemning GOD, we are prone to say, even as }esus said to His Disciples: “Has FATHER been so long time with us, and yet have some not known HIM” apparently? With good intentions no doubt, the individual in consideration, gave a testimony making an openiconi afession, disclosing the fact that she had gone up to The Promised Land for a little rest, and the first thing she stated that she heard was comments on the confession that had been made by one of the Angels about a week prior. She admitted that she thought this was a very unprincipled thing to do. She considered it gossip, and something that many would not stoop to do-, even in mortal consciousness. She did not realize that the Angels had a right to speak of the confession made by the individual, as such would be helpful to others, and should not be classed as gossip. By this she condemned GOD indirectly. ‘ It is written: “Ye know not what manner of Spirit ye are of.” Unconsciously the indi- vidual erred, and many who listened to the confession erred with her, .for in their hearts they were of the same opinion, and justified her in what she was saying, for their endorsement was qu-ite evident. However, it took only GOD to clear up these matters and set one and all right. Truly might have the Scripture said: “For My Thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the LORD, for as - the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are My Ways higher than your ways, and My Thoughts than your thoughts.” . V . ‘. \ It took the INFINITE MIND of GOD to bring us this Wisdom, that we might not stumble again on this point. This same individual in her testimony stated that she had such a hard time getting in the "U,” and that there was confusion between herself and some of the other Angels about seats. FATHER deliberately and -emphatically explained how selfishness could creep in over S}1Ch a small thing, and at the same time rob the individual of his or her Blessings and Inheritance. HE stated in a logical way, those who usually contend for their rights, as a rule have no rights: that there were no= reserved seats in the Dining Room, but all should fare alike, according to their arrival to the Banquet . Hall; that no one person should selfishly rush for a certain seat all of the time, for the purpose of prevent- ing others from getting that particular seat. Earlier in the forenoon of this same day, one of the Angels who sat at the Banquet Table, in a great hurry, even before all of the Diners had been seated, made haste to get in her testimony. The Banquet had started rather early on this occasion, and there was by no means the crowd, the usual crowd present. It was quite no- ticeable when the sister persisted in the pursuit of her testimony in such great haste, when ordinarily and on other occasions, when she was inspired to express in- spirationally, she would always do so when the multi- tudes were gathered. GOD knows the heart of every individual, and HE alone can interpret the acts and the meaning thereof. \ This MESSAGE is good for the uplift of the Na- tions. Read it, consider it, absorb it, apply it, digest it and live it, and each and all of us will then be ac- ceptable in the Sight of GOD our FATHER. Then, , and only then, willwe be hid inthe INFINITE, worthy to be called the Sons and Daughters of GOD. GRACIOUS LORD, we thank THEE FATHER speaks as follows: PEACE EVERYONE: ("Peace, FATHER DEAR!” exclaimed the Assembly greetingly.) When I say “GOOD HEALTH!” “GOOD WILL!” and a. “GOOD APPETITE,”——when I say “GOOD MANNER-S” and “GOOD BEHAVIOR,”-——whcn I say “RIGHTEOUSNESS, TRUTH and ]USTICE,”—when I say "We shall have a RIGHTEOUS GOVERN- MENT, I AM speaking the Spirit and the Characteris- iics of these Qualities into expression, that everyone who sincerely believes ME, and will accept of MY MESSAGES, they will be the Reincarnators of It. This is not a supposition, this is a realization. ..,¢..._..‘ 7 _‘ | «ﬁg ; ‘ .4-.,_{ 2 3‘ .-.j..,» V, __,r. »,.‘.:.u '14....‘-.,,‘_,,,".,_‘5 .3. -‘\ ,,_,_.g, Q» Q-_—'-‘_~ _ ,.;u>‘4.‘.:,s".-',\.‘3."¢‘Q‘A"; ‘£54 -5 Q’ Q Q g ~..¢ }_..,,._/,-.4; ,3 .

Gems of Life The materialization of the Words are only accom- plished by someone who heard, perceiving and conceiv- ing them as Gems of Life, yea, as the precious Pearls of Salvation to be materially manifested and brought into outer expression as each of you who receive them, materialize them. "The Word is made Flesh;” as it was in the beginning, the same with GOD, is today, yesterday and forever. If you let ME, I will help you. The Words I have spoken, they are Spirit. and they i are Life. The Words I have spoken, they are GOD expressed. When you conceive them by believing them, you will materialize them as you realize them, and you will become to be not only the Reincarnation and the Reincarnators of My Words, but you will become to be the Personification of that which I have spoken. That is the mystery, but remember, My Words, My Spirit, My Mind, My Life and My Love all go far beyond the bounds of limitation. By Nature, it is INFINITE, therefore, it could. not be limited in a concept. Universality of the Spirit If you limit your concept concerning anything, you cannot be whole-heartedly and completely in ME, to be expressed and explained. The limited concepts of the children of men will cause them to get out of My Version, to get out of My Ideas and out of My Opin- ions, for by nature I AM INFINITE, and you must recognize the Universality of ,My Spifit, yea, you recognize the INFINITENESS of IT: and recog- nizing such, you will be willing to express and explain Universally, even as I do and even as I AM. You will not wait until there is a limited few, before the masses arrive, to make your confession, for such an expression is openly discerned as the past time has been showing up those who are called My Followers, as the children of men, trying to hide from them, trying to hide from each other, by waiting to get in an audience at a time beforethe masses come, to make your confession. I noticed the speaker over there, the first one, was very persistent in speaking and desired to speak very °’ briefly this Morning, in the act of confession, but why did she not do it at a time like it was last Evening, yea, early this Morning? The Evening and the Morning—- it was Wednesday Night and Thursday ‘Morning, when September 30, is we were here dining, having our regular midnight Banquet, but being in the Morning, when you could not find standing room. ’ Express the Nature of Your Savior Unlimitedly “An open confession is good for the Soul,” but if you try to deviate, either one of you, or try to hide from the children of men, it is an open expression‘ that you are not expressing the Universality of ME. I AM INFINITE by Nature. If you deviate from My Ver- sion, and will not walk whole-heartedly in My Statutes and walk in My Stature if possible, if you please, it is a matter of impossibility for ME to completely hide you, for your life should be hid with CHRIST in GOD; therefore, hiding in ME would be that whatsoever, you say or do, would be just as I would have you say it, or do it, by My Nature, by My Disposition, by My Ideas and by My Opinions. ' This is the way of expression whereby I can and. will explain and cause all mankind to understand. All who. are with ME are Partakers of My Nature, My Characteristics and that is an expression. with the Nature that expresses INFINITELY, LIMITLESSLY and at least UNIVERSALLY, whensoever it does ex- press, for it is IMPERSONAL. The Mystery of GOD [being IMPERSONAL as I have explained, of His Nature, Characteristics and Disposition being the same, it is that GOD is Personified it is’ true, but as much Personifiable and re-personifiable as HE was in the beginning, that is why HE is IMPERSONAL. By GOD being gPersonifiable and Re-personifiable, Incarnatable and Re-incarnatable, Inculcatable and Re—inculcatable, this is especially the reason the more you should express unlimitedly from your angle of expression, with the ‘ Nature and the Characteristics of ‘your SAVIOUR. Open Confession If you try to hide from the masses, if you desire to make a confession and wish to get iniaudiences where there are only a few, before they arrive, thinking within‘ yourself, “I will hurry up and makethis con- fessio‘n,”iiit"is an open expression that you are not fully consecrated; therefore, an" open confession to the masses, if a confession is necessary would be the great essential. That is, if it were.on such terms that are considered to be an open confession. _ Of course, it is true, when you desire to make a con- fession, the Spirit has declared by Composition: "Tell it to jesus alone.” When you desire to make a confes- sion at times, a confession if requested, would be justi- fiable to be made, not necessarily publicly, but if you are speaking or making a confession, an open confes- sion, a public confession, let your confession be accord- ing to the Gospel: “That which is done in secret, shall be made known on the housetop.” . - Now jot these thoughts down in your vocabularies; and be in ME, if you wish to,——if you please, for in i E i l a l I September 3/0, 1937 ME you will find Life, Health, Love and Peace; in ME, ~ Joy will never cease, but if you deviate from My Ver- sion in the least and get out of ME from any angle ex- pressible, in words, deeds or actions, through such a deviation you may present yourself and you may be seen. If you are seen, you are not hid, but if you are dead, and your life is hid with CHRIST in GOD, you are no longer seen not heard, even though your voice be observed shouting as a Trumpet on the housetop, you are not to be seen nor heard. Why? For you are hid and yet you» are dead. Your real life is hid with CHRIST in GOD. This is the great essential. Those Who, Contend tor Their Rights There are many things I could say along this line, but at this particular time, I will refrain from speaking, I may a little later on speak again, when I sum up these thoughts that have been conveyed this Morning and bunch. them in one bunch and weigh them on the Scale of Justice, and do: whatsoever is necessary to be done with them. The Speaker said here, concerning getting in the "-U” and having such a hard time, or words to that effect,—I said to one or two of the Angels the other day‘,—so-called Angels, “It is your privilege to try to get in, to be ready to go into the Dining Room when the Door is opened,” as they usually stand there. I did not bring an act of prohibitation from them standing there, but I explained to them, others have as much right as they, _to get in. I said, "You may be the first on some occasions, and on many occasions, as you have been, hence, you may be the first one to get in and get the seat which you desire,” which was to say, “the seats in the ‘U’ "—I mean right here, (FATHER pointed in front of HIM) where these two sit, or are sitting. I said, "You may have the chance to do so by being there first, but someone else may get there sometime, because they have as much right as you.” As a rule, those who are contending for their rights, they have no rights. As a rule, those who areseeking special permission and admission, righteously they would have —. no admission, for they are the ones have’not ‘made a sacrifice, nor even so much as trusted_ GOD to the extent from a Personal point of view, that might have a place prepared for them. I - ' Prove Your Love All of these thoughts are well worth considering. “Behold Iicome quicklyand My Reward is with ME, to reward every man (every person) according as His Works may be.” If you say you love ME, prove it. There a-re many persons love ME better than everybody else does, but yet they do‘not love ME well enoughtr work for themselves and pay their own bills and I1. independent. Now talk is talk, but it did take money tobuy land up there in the Country commonly known as "The Promised Land.” The NEW DAY A 25 These thoughts are well worth considering, and you all had just as well to understand now GOD SHALL RULE this world with TRUTH and GRACE, and shall ' cause you to act in a way to prove the Wonders of My RIGHTEOUSNESS and the GLORY of My Love, yea, the Glory of My RIGHTEOUSNESS and the Wonders of My Love. I will make you prove it. When things do not go to please you and to appease your way of expression, then and there you are not sat- isfied. You cannot see GOD’S Love in those things. If I tell you to get up and leave the Table, that would be an outward expression of My Love, for you should have left before no doubt, if I would tell you so. What Have You Done tor the Kingdom? "To reward every man according as His’Works may be.” Then I say, what have you done for ME? What have you done for any other individual, especially in the way of establishing the Kingdom of Heaven? As I say, these audiences they come, as they assemble in these Dining Rooms, yea, even when they come in the Auditoriums, they are private Auditoriums; they are private Dining Rooms. They are not kept up by solici- tation. They are not kept up by public collections nor remunerations. Th-ey are not kept up by your sympathy and by your compassion. These, My Followers who have made the sacrifice, they have taken their hard- earned money, their life's savings to invest in such an expression to live according to My Teaching; then I say, whatsoever: you are receiving, if you have not actually paid for it, it is a Blessing and should be classed as “Charity” to you, but not to them. just think about how you can come here and get food, raiments, houses and shelter and comforts and conveniences fdr almost nothing, even if you paid for it, for almost nothing, but if you do pay for it, why then you can consider you are Independent as far as that is concerned, for if I have chosen to make the prices as if though theyare nothing, that is My Plan and My Purpose, to_do' so;” therefore, you are not re- sponsible for what we do on those grounds, so long as’ meet the obligations,’responsibilities and cares, such as would be required of you. Nevertheless, when you stop to consider these'Auditoriums and Dining Rooms are open, they are opened for all of you to come in and be partakers of,the Blessings of the children of men, yea, the children of GOD. If you wish. to be Par- takers of these Blessings, you must‘ consider you must come. in merely as a visitor in a family, or as one in the family, and consider you are not in a public place where you have any special right to go, unless someone permits you. If someone permits you to go, it is your -privilege to do so as a visitor and as visitors and as friends. The Family ot GOD You should consider it the same as if you would go (1 O 25 I TheirNEWi DAY to any other person's private home and they permit _ you to be with them, to come and dine ;—-—you should I‘ take it on those grounds. If you do not take it on those grounds as visitors, you shpuld at least take it on the ground then as one going to a place, paying whatso- ever they charge, and your rights go as far as what you pay for. If not, you should take it on the ground as ‘being born into a Great Family, where all are one and one indeed. This is the place where all should be, if you claim ME. If you are one and one indeed, then: and there whatsoever would concern you, would con- cern ME, and you would be as much interested in the ,Work and the Welfare and everything else’ as I would Personally be. This is the way with the Family of GOD, the Universal Brotherhood of man, and the Recogni- tion of the FATHERHOOD of GOD. ' When this shall have been established in youall, every real Follower will be as interested in the Work and the Welfare and up-keep of this Place as I, Myself as an Individual, or as those who have sacrificed their life’s earnings to open doors, such as these, that you all might come in and be one with them, and one with First Come First Served These thoughts are well worth considering, hence, the calling forth into expression of these testimonies this Morning, will be a lesson, as one said, for ‘others. . . Now it is the privilege of the Speaker to sit in the Aisle as much as anyone else, in the “U” whichever.'The first one comes should be the first one served. Because someone may be selfish in nature and in actions and may get there first all of the time, that does not say that they have purchased these places, for Miss Blessed Pure-in-Heart, and Mr. Calloway and others, they only sit where I tell them, although legally, and even per- sonally it should be termed as some of their own per- sonal property, which is their private property, if I wish, to direct it in that way, their own personal, real and private property combined, where no one else would have any business to come unless they were per- mitted to do so by them, and by others who are con- cerned. Can you not see the unrighteousness of those, and the unjust minds of the children of men? Can vou not see the outward expression of this selfishness of them, how they will seek to do an injustice to the just, an injustice to the Righteous and anwinjustibe to the Truthful, and-contend for their rights selfishly, and when they contend for-their rights as a- rule, if it is analyzed, you will find they have no -rights, in reality. Earnings Offered as a Living Sacriﬁce 1 I say, “Talk is talk, but it did take money to buy the thousands and thousands of dollars worth of property in "The Promised Land.” The True and the Faithful who were willing and ready, as soon as they knew with September 30, 1937 ME it was possible for them to come into possession of an inheritance through cooperation, they willingly presented themselves to ME and to others, ‘and offered up themselves and their earnings as a Living Sacrifice. This was not requested, neither was it done ‘until the ft} ‘ beginning of the establishment and the development‘ in Ulster County, commonly known as “The Promised Land.” There are thosepof My Followers whose‘ names ap- pear on the Title of the different properties up there. Now they offered to give ME money years ago, I could not and would not accept of it, according to My Pur- pose, as My MISSION is a FREE GIFT to the world, GRATIS to mankind; therefore, as a Message-Bearer and as a REDEEMER and SAVIOUR, I could not sell MY MESSAGE neither MY Blessings; therefore, I would not accept of what they desired to give ME. I told them to wait, that the time would come when they could invest in -some way constructively, that they would get something material in return, for whatso- ever they did, yea, whatsoever they would be doing. Thus I refrained from receiving any such, until 1935— the last of '1935, even from them in connection with ‘ME, to express in such a way, but after then I saw there was a method, and I created it as an outward expression of. the Kingdom of GOD, but that which individually might be an Independent UNIT. Firstly, the first one who did it, was one who had worked for years and years and had saved up her earningsand purchased the _ V New Paltz Place. A Summary of HIS Work and Mission _ She did not pay very much for it compared to the actual‘value, but GOD was in it, therefore, GOD Blessed her to get the Foundation, therefore, very rea- sonable, with such money as this individual had saved up through her life-time of hard labor and service. She was willing to give her service in that way, therefore, by purchasing her real property, others would be the I enjoyers of it, by going and living and developing this property and improving it. So it was done, and then and there that went to others until othefs began to see how this was done, and they were well secured, then others began to come in cooperatively, and so the Work still goes on. It shall continue to be, until I see there is enough done; but I mention these thoughts as a summary of the Mystery and of the Work and MY MISSION, that you might see and know distinctly what you should do, if you desire to be of ME ;—that is, if you are of ME, in reality, you will think, you will act and you will speak and you will attempt to do even as I would do, and as I would have you do.‘ They tried to «get ME to take money years back,4tthose who were faithful, naturally, they saved money, for they did not have any expenditure to amount _to anything. They did not have any expenses whatsoever, whenso- .‘ - §Eptember 30, 1937 - ever they were in the Kingdom or in the Home, as It was termed then ;-——naturally, they could save whatso- ever they made, and this is the outgrowth of the Bless- ings of GOD bestowed upon them as a “FATHER to His Children.” Consideration for Others Others who are of ME would be Partakers of some of these Characteristics, and would express in some way expressible unselfishly directly in this direction, even as they have been doing, yea, even as they did. That is the only way to prove to ME ‘you are in reality‘ of You will not express selfishness even though you do not do as they have done, you would at least express in the way of being considerate with others, when you know you have no rights to such Places in the way of sitting nor standing, when these My Fol- lowers, who are true and faithful have taken their life’s earnings and buy or lease these Places, and spend their time and service for the masses because they believe in ME and feel as if though, or if they do so, they will be Blessed by doing according to My MIND and MY Custom. Naturally you should stop to consider what others have done, that you might also do the same‘; if not,~—~at least consider and respect the position wherein others stand. _ I Some will press on that Door to get in,_ yet when you come down to facts and figures, the ones more persist- ent in trying to get in and demand something, they have not made the least sacrifice in the way of opening up a Home or an Extension like this, for the public, neither have they done, not given anything directly, V nor indirectly to help It. They have not given their time, nor" their service, nor their money, because the majority of them who do such like, they will not hold a position even so much as enough to meet or earn enough means to meet their daily obligations to be ABSOLUTELY independent. Robbing One to Pay Another Then I say, watch'the person who will do suchthings . and see the out-growth of the selfishness manifested in such a person unless they change.’ Although there are some who have owed bills, obligations: and other responsibilities, they are contending to meet such obli- gations to pay old bills and such as they may feel re- sponsible for; nevertheless, stop and consider, if you are talking about paying your old bills, pay your pres- ent bills now. As I said some time ago, "Don’t be as it has been said, ‘ROB Peter to pay Paul,’ but some have gone a few steps further, ‘some will ROB Jesus to pay Judas.’ ” Jot these thoughts down in your vocabularies. If you meet your daily obligations, that which you are re- quired to pay for now, even though they are not more than fifty percent of what they should be, I have Blessed you to that. If you meet your obligations such The NEW DAY, A27 as I require for you to do,—those things you are ac- complishing in My Spirit and in My Name; you are not robbing Peter, neither are you robbing Jesus, so long as you pay as you go and be Independent now, even though the prices are from fifty to sixty and seventy-five percent less than what they should actually be. If you meet your daily requirements, you are not robbing Peter. That is merely an adjustment. For the Healing ‘of the Nations Now meet all of yourwbills and pay all you owe as yougo. You are not doing anything good so far as that is concerned. You have a right to do that, but I will not condemn you if you live selfishly so long’ as you pay as you go and be independent and prove to yourself and to others, you are paying according to the custom and giving honor where honor is due and cus- tom where custom is due. So long as you do that, I will not bother about you. I will not condemn you even though it may be selfishness in you expressed, for you may not do more than what you are obligated to do, but My Spirit and My Mind will go many steps fur- ther; My Spirit and My Mind will sacrifice for RIGHT- EOUSNESS’ I sake whole-heartedly and completely. Aren't you glad? Take these thoughts to consideration, and live in the Recognition of GOD’S ACTUAL PRESENCE and be the same at MY PERSONAL ABSENCE as you would be in MY PERSONAL PRESENCE;%if you do not, you are not of ME. These thoughts I say should be considered, for they are worth considering. They are good for the healing of the Nations. They will set a sinner free; set you free from all sin and all condemnation. They will establish your going in the Land of the‘Living, anh will give you PEACE and HAPPINESS,-such as nothing else can do. ‘ "Follow ME in All of My Versions" Oh, how marvelous it will be when you all shall come to ME. You have not come to ME until you shall have come to ME in consciousness. When you shall have cometo ME in‘Mind, in Ideas and in Opinions, and‘ in all that conscious‘ and sub-conscious mentality represents, then and only then have you cometo ME. “These are they who follow the LAMB whithersoever HE goeth.” You must follow ME in ideas and in Opinions; follow ME in all of My Versions; follow ME in all of My VY/ays and in all of My Desires; follow ME Mentally completely from every angle expressible, if you deviate in any of them, you are not following ME perfectly. These thoughts are well worth considering. It is not necessary to follow ME Personally unless you follow ME Mentally and Spiritually. If you follow ME in My A Thoughts, with My Mind, with My Ideas and with My Opinions, then and only then are you following ME. The mortal mind will try to condemn GOD, not ''‘28 = . The knowing you are destroying your physical body by such an accusation. You are condemning yourself before GOD and before man, for all will see plainly where you stand by your accusation and by your trying to condemn GOD. Oh, how marvelous it will be when those.of you who are si.ncere shall have entered into this Realm where you can see even as ]esus, the Son said: “Not My Will, but THY Will be done.” I do not mean to merely say it in words, but say it from the depths of your heart. Weighed by the Scale of Justice These thoughts are well worth considering. Then I say, if you speak or act in words, ways or expressions, let your emotions, whether they be mental, Spiritual or physical,‘ be expressions of sincerity. If I did not know, or had riot known, the other Morning or Afternoon on two or three occasions, I saw the last Speaker expressing vividly an expression of enthusiasm and making a decla- ration of loving ME so vividly, that if I had not have known, I would have thought she was absolutely FREE and LOST in ME by such an expression, but remember, this is the Scale of Justice ;—in these Scales I will weigh you, and I weight you. I know when you express as such, I believe, I.see and I know. After‘ such a seeming awakening, when one comes and makes such. a confession, it would lead you to wonder and consider what is the emotion; what is it all about? It has been looked upon by the different Religions when one is living in sin and in folly, when they get converted, by an awakened Vibrational Ex- pression and make their declaration known under the expression of dancing, of an expression of declaring such by shouting, yelling and? declaring their love voli- tionally, such an expression is convincing to the people that they care converted from their sins and their sins are forgiven. But of course, if they come back and tell ME they are not, why then it must be that they have not been as sincere as they seem to be. The Branch That Bringeth Forth No Fruit How marvelous it is to stand as I stand. Some get offended with ME for MY MESSAGE. Some desire to go back now from whence they came. By so doing, to ME you will not be doing a thing. You will not be doing ME any harm, but to the extreme reverse, you will be doing ME good, “for the branch that bringeth forth not fruit,” what said the Scripture, yea, even the Gospel, Jesus, what said HE? You will find it in the Fifteenth Chapter of St. John. It will tell you definitely concerning the branches—both those branches that bring forth not fruit and those branches that abide not in ME. Ifa dead branch is cut off, it canno longer encumber the tree, but when it is cut off, if I dig around the tree, as I have done, then and there you will see the tree beginning to bloom. Aren’t you glad? (“So Glad!” exclaimed the multitude enthusiastically.) Now in reference to an open confession and others NEW DAY September 30, 1937 speaking of it,—this is to be considered. If your; sins ‘ are all in secrecy and no one observe an expression, nor a reflection of your sins manifested, you may do those things and make your confessions in secrecy and no one else would have a right to tell it, but if your sins are open and others observe them, "an open con- fession is good for the Soul,”——and others should’ tell just what you have told, that others might“ see and know GOD is JUST and GOOD and would do no more to others than what HE has done to you, and yet, would do as much for others as has done for you. Con-demning GOD You want to go around and make a confession, and - then tie everybody else’s tongue"from talking about your confession. If you have openly committed a wrong and others see it and know it, you should make_that open confession, and others should tell it, that others might know it and might see andhknow why I-have had Compassion on you. The mortal mind has always tried to condemn GOD directly or indirectly, for such an expression, if no one would tell it, it would be condemning GOD indirectly. You may say,,"How do YOU say it would be con- demning GOD indirectly, FATHER?” You would be condemning GOD indirectly; for by My Compassion on the individual who has made the confession, if no- one would tell it, others would think I have some re- spect to persons; therefore, you would be condemning GOD indirectly and to others, it would be a direct condemnation, for they could not see your SAVIOR in the place where HE stands. » 1 If a person shows up the slightest reflection of rebel- lion or disobedience, that person should make an open confession, and others should tell it, and all should know it, for if I forgive such a person for such sins as they have confessed to, why others should know what I AM doing and what I have done, that they might know that I AM not man but GOD. Aren't you glad? ("So Glad!" rang back the shouts of the people.) For as you desire it to be, you desire to indirectly condemn ME, whether you are conscious of it or not. "GOD Is No Respecter of Persons" Mortality is ready to everything concerning GOD that they would say‘ or-do;—they desire to show up I I GOD as they would show up you. They would desire to let you think or see, and others believe that GOD would have some Compassion on some special person. They would try to make you think I love somebody. What do I care about mortality? What do I care about appearances? What do I care about looks or age or size? None of those things are considerablein My World of existence. I say: “Sons and Daughters, give ME your heart.” Your hearts and minds are the things I demand, re- gardless to what your agernight apparently be, and regardless to how you may apparently see ME, “Give ME your hearts and give ME your minds.” Some may say, “Well, if FATHER does not have some respect to _ ‘ﬁeptembér 30, 1937 The NEW DAY ."*“-’persons,f tell me why is it HE allows‘ some to take notes?” Can you take notes? “Well, Ican read.” “Why is it HE allows some to read mostly?” -Can you read ‘as accurately and as perfectly as those whom ‘I allow to read? Can you convey the MESSAGE which I AM conveying as distinctly as they can through reading? If. you can, why come up and read for ME. GOD seeks the best. HE wants the best, and HE A must have the best. I want the best of everything, and especially in conveying MY MESSAGE to the children _ of men. There are aplenty of ‘you who can read, and you do not get the understanding yourselves...You had better let someone else read first, that you might get the understanding of what I AM saying. _All: of these thoughts are well worth considering; then I say, DISPEL selfishness and‘ERADICATE the results of it from among you. If you do, GOD will be a Blessing to you; all will enjoy the PRESENCE of GOD, His MESSAGE, his LOVE and MISSION to one and to all. I thank you.

CHINESE THROW BACK JAPANESE ONSLAUGHT. (Crusader News Agency) Worried Japanese officials admitted their long her- alded “major offensives” against China were making little headway in the face of determined Chinese resist- ance, and that in several instances the invading Nippon- ese had suffered serious setbacks. There is the threat of a large-scale uprising behind the Japanese lines in Manchukuo. Already there have been several revolts among Japanese-trained Manchukuan troops. Two high ranking generals—-one Japanese and one Manchukuan—were killed by_their own men, then the entire regiment joined the Chinese defenders of Ndrth China. , Another Manchukuo regiment revolted at Mukden and killed their Japanese officers. Still another Manchu- kuan force deserted at Chanpai, 300 miles east of Muk- den. A Basic Chinese strategy directed against the Japanese invasion can be described as follows: (1) meeting the invaders in large-scale pitched battles; (2) orderly with- drawal where necessary; (3) extension of the battle line and lengthening the Japanese lines of communication; and (4) a combination of pitched battles and guerrilla warfare to harass the invaders and wear down the already weak national economy of Japan. Gen. Chiang Kai—Shek said China was prepared to fight a hundred years if necessary. China offered Japan the same kind of peace pact she signed with the Soviet Union. KEY TO JAPANESE CONTINENTAL POLICY (CNA).——-In 1927 the then Japanese Premier, Baron M. Tanaka, presented to the emperor a memorandum based on opposition to Chinese unity which he called "the key to continental policy,” and it has been Japan’s foreign policy ever since. The memorandum read in part: "A more dangerous factor is the fact that the people of China might some day wake up.. .When we remember that the Chinese are our only purchasers, we must fear the day when China unites and herindustry begins to flourish. "We must from now onwards pursue our own military "ends and seize the heart of Manchuria and Mongolia by divers ways, in order to be able on the one hand to de- stroy the military, political and economical development of China and on the other hand to prevent the permea- tion of Russian influence. This is the key to our conti- nental policy.” (Page 17.) I JAPAN FACING A COLONIAL REVOLT SHANGHAI (CNA).——-Japanese rulers, already wor- ried. by the stubborn resistance of the Chinese, had cause for additional alarm last week as Formosan and Korean Nationalists advanced plans to join the destinies of China in ‘a joint struggle against Japan. Formosa is a large island Close to and just north of the Philippines. The Formosa Revolutionary League issued a mani- festo which says in part: “For forty years we have lived in conditions unworthy of human beings as a result of Japanese enslavement.” The Formosan tribes have never laid down their arms in the struggle for freedom. In both Korea and For- mosa revolts have been brutally suppressed. Japan grad- ually forced the Formosans back into the mountains, at the same time establishing strong Japanese communities on the coast. ASKS DEPORTATION OF YOUNG MUSSOLINI The New York State Committee of the Communist party is demanding the deportation of Vittorio Musso- lini, here to learn U. 5. methods of motion-picture mak- ing. He wrote that he liked to drop incendiary bombs on Ethiopian villages because the fires they started were so “tragically beautiful.” JAPANESE AGENTS ACTIVE IN AMERICA NEW YORK (CNA).i—The United Aid for Peoples of African Descent last week joined the Friends of the Chinese People and the American League Against War and Fascism in denouncing Japan’s undeclared war on China. I The despatch makes statements to the effect that in some parts of America Japanese agents are trying to con- vince people of oppressed racial groups who classify themselves as African-Americans that the Japanese are their “protectors.” “Nothing could be farther from the truth,” stated Vivience France, executive secretary of the United Aid. ,_ \ ' I “What Japan is doing to China is what Fascist Italy did to Ethiopia, and what Italy and Germany are doing today to Spain. It is fascist aggression pure and simple.” ~[, J, J, 0 4 REAL COMFORT IN THESE SMART NIEW “ J..!.

It is really progressive, serviceable and non-partisan and enjoys the active support of numerous liberal groups and move- ments. 2 _One of its activities is a City Planning Committee—— which has issued, a very instructive illustrated folder-_ in the interest of getting the benefits of the provisions in the new city charter which provides for a non-partisan Planning Commission. , _ , It states, "He who builds best, plans first. Planning means preparation for good living conditions.” It points out that new areas must be planned and that foresight in city construction is better and cheaper than hindsight. It "cites the unused Staten Island piers as an example of waste and lack of planning. It says, "Death Avenue wasnot planned. It’s reconstruction is costing -the city one hundred and seventy-five million dollars. “There was a waste of four and one-half millions of dollars in construction and m-aiyntenance of the badly planned Bronx Terminal Market which has now been rescued by La Guardia.” Zoning means the “right thing in the right place.” Zoning makes possible the use of land in the interests of the people using it. Zoning controls the size of build- ings and provides more open space. Zoning laws must keep step with changing times and conditions. The new planning commission will be responsible, for improving the zoning laws. The folder admonishes us that we must not waste the city’s money and urgently r.e.quests us to “Make New York Livable,” and to "Plan Now ETHIOPIANS SUCCESSFUL IN RAID DJIBOUTI, French Somaliland i(CNS).——One‘thous-' A and Ethiopians have arrived safely in Kenya Colony after a thousand mile march. Ethiopia is still unconquered. Recently Italian troops travelling in 400 motor lorries from Asmara to Addis Ababa were surprised and wiped out, the trucks andprovisions including arms, taken by the Ethiopians. Rails were removed" at another point, a troop train attacked from all sides and all troopson the train killed. Italians can travel only in large bands pro- tected by tanks, heavy artillery and machine guns. What Nationality Are You? “What nationality are you?” “Well, my father was Irish, my mother was Italian, I was born in a Swedish ship off Barcelona, and a man named McTavish is my dentist.” ' “What’s ’MacTavish got to do with it?” "Why, that makes me of Scottish extraction.” -‘IIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIIIIHlllII‘IIllNlllIIIIIHIIIIIIHllIIIlIIl|'.
