As You Understand Each Other Better
Universally You Will Be A Part of Every Nation and Every Religion
and the Summation Will Be
E Pluribus Unum.

-- FATHER DIVINE --

'One Eternal Christmas and One Eternal New Year.'

Our FATHER'S Sermon Given whilst at the Holy Communion Table Circle Mission Church
2064 Boston Road, Bronx, New York
Sunday, December 31, 1950, A.D.F.D.
Time 11:26 P.M.

The transcriber introduces the Sermon:

This truly glorious Sermon, delivered by the Lord of lords and King of kings, is dynamic in its expression of living truths unto the children of men. Just before the Sermon, one of the recent recordings from Australia was played and enjoyed by the vast audience of visitors and followers as well. FATHER refers to this and other recordings received from His various followers and Churches in far off countries, and in His marvelous Sermon explains the mystery of this One Eternal Christmas and One Eternal New Year. At the conclusion of the Sermon FATHER brings forth a very vital point for consideration concerning the religious conviction of His real true followers with regard to insurances of any kind and this Conviction will go down on record even as it has in years past, and will be lived and carried out, regardless of the consequences. The Mouth of GOD has declared it! Almighty Redeemer, we truly thank Thee!

(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:)

PEACE EVERYONE! This is one of the days set apart as being termed the Christmas Holidays, which, at this time, this is commonly known as New Year's Eve for the Christian world. But as with the New Year so with the Christ Mass or Christmas Day with us. We recognize the One Eternal Christmas Day, in other words, Christ Mass Day and One Eternal New Year's Day. We recognize the Ever and All-Presence of All-Wise, All-Mighty and All-Circumferencing GOD of the Universe.

You have heard the testimonies of the different individuals from Australia, and there they are as we are here, representing every nation, every language, every tongue and every people by this great Conversion and by the Recognition and the Realization of GOD'S Actual Presence! No longer observing your Creator merely as a supposition but observing and realizing GOD'S Presence as Something that is the Creator, the Author and the Finisher of all of His Creation; though at one time invisible, intangible and being unconsidered as being visible; yet GOD made visible, things that were invisible, and brought into tangibility and into outer expression, the intangible and invisible things of His Creation.


Light of Understanding Coming Forth

Today we are realizing, as it is written according to the historians, the earth was created as well as the heaven, but the earth was void and without form, even as the heaven as being described as such; but GOD did say,

'Let dry land appear!'

according to the historians, and dry land came forth into expression tangibilated, materialized, as though personified; for GOD said,

'Let us make men in our own Image!'

According to the historians GOD formed man out of the dust of that dry land that HE said in His Own Omniscience, let it appear! We are happy today to say, things that once did not appear are coming into appearance. Things that were not once considered are now being considered; for by the Unity of the Spirit, as with GOD in the Creation, there was an agreement made between the Great Universal Mind Substance and Something, when GOD said,

'Let us make man in our own Image'.

There was an agreement made; and also as it was when GOD said to Something, according to the historians,

'Let there be light',

and light came forth into expression as a pre-evidence and as a visibilated prediction of how the Light of Understanding would come forth into expression when there is no light or no understanding. Aren't you glad? ('Yes, so glad, LORD!' came the immediate response.)

Coming all through the ages up until this present time there are thousands and thousands, yea, millions of individuals we, or I MYSELF as One of the unit, if I enumerate them one of the one hundred and fifty millions Americans; just enumerating the one hundred and fifty millions of Americans, plus all of the other nations, languages, tongues and peoples in all countries! Aren't you glad? ('So glad!' again came the immediate reply.) Just being One among the number, transcended and transcending all racism, all sectarianism, all partisanism and all isms that spell division bringing to you, My fellow citizens, hearers and friends, the Recognition of E Pluribus Unum. Aren't you glad?



All Mankind Unified

To recognize and realize E Pluribus Unum politically and legalistically, we will also recognize E Pluribus Unum religiously, nationally and racially, and we will bring an abolition to all divisibility among the nation. And by so doing we will understand each other better universally! And as you understand each other better universally, you will become to be a part of Judaism as well as a part of Christianity. You will be a part of every nation and of every religion and the summation will be E Pluribus Unum, where there will be no more divisibility of the children of men but all will live in Unison together and will partake of the great One Eternal Christmas, Circumferencing and enveloping the Jewish Christmas; circumferencing and enveloping the Hindu's Christmas and the Christian Christmas and New Year and all of them combined; making for that which we have here today where all mankind are unified! Aren't you glad?

Then I say, it is a privilege to observe it! You can see in our Churches in Australia, in Switzerland, in New Zealand, in Panama, in England and in Canada and in all other countries coming into the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose where we can celebrate One Eternal Christmas, and going on to the New Year, as afore said; we also celebrate the One Eternal New Year this being the eve of New Year, as it may be termed. But with this Light of this Understanding we realize there is One Eternal Christmas and One Eternal New Year's Day!

One Eternal Merry Christmas

For this cause, by composition as a message and as a declaration, (FATHER holds high The New Day, showing the song on the front cover, as HE says:) I brought out this little Message; even having it or putting it in a melody and in notes so that you might read it, sing it and play it, and convince yourselves and convert your hearts and your minds and all of your human intelligence and intellect to the realization that there is One Eternal Christmas and One Eternal New Year's Day.

When this is done you will endeavor to worship and serve GOD from your own viewpoint not as a creed or any other dogma, but as individuals recognizing the Supreme Being the Creator, the Author and the Finisher of all things! And when this is done you can say in reality, by the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose we can live in unison together and there will be no more divisibility of nations and races and of families among us, but we will recognize the Universal Brotherhood of Man and realize the Ever Presence of the FATHERHOOD of GOD!


International Peace

When this Truth is established among the nations of the earth as I have it now established among you all, My adherents, My followers and My friends, there will be no more warfare and no more bloodshed, but you will have International Peace, as one of our picture cards portrays. (FATHER holds up the card bearing HIS and MOTHER'S picture, and the red, white and blue books bearing the dramatized pictures, the titles of which FATHER reads:) 'In the Air, on the Land and on the Sea.' where the people will no longer be divided among themselves. They will no longer live, considering themselves as some sort of a cursed race, creed or color, for I have declared Scripturally as well as I have declared it socially and Personally organizationally,

'Together you stand but divided you fall.'

If the people will unite together and live in this great universal Brotherhood of Man and recognize the Ever Presence of the FATHERHOOD of GOD, there will be no more limitations, there will be no more lacks, there will be no more adverse and undesirable conditions, for the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD will dispel and eradicate all adverse and undesirable conditions! Then I say, live in this Recognition!


Consciousness of GOD'S Presence

You have heard the voices of those of My representatives of My different Churches in Australia. A good many of you have heard the recordings from Switzerland, from England, from Germany and from other parts of the world making this selfsame declaration of the Consciousness of MOTHER'S and MY Presence here, and there as well as here. And such a Conviction automatically adjusts matters satisfactorily, and such a Conviction automatically produces the abundance of the fulness of the Consciousness of Good, and they find no space vacant of the fulness thereof! In the European countries, in the war zones, where lacks and wants and limitation, misery, disappointment and failure have gone rampant in the land, My Spirit and My Presence when they are conscious of It produce the abundance of the fulness of food and of raiment, of houses and of shelter, of comfort and convenience and of every desirable blessing, because they are conscious of My Presence.

Many people have read and you all have heard that as in the beginning of the creation, according to the historians, the Spirit of GOD moved out upon the face of the waters and began its creation of all creation can you not see the mystery? The very Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD moving out there automatically was creative and It is just as operative today as It was then. Can you not see the mystery? GOD being a creator by nature, even through the cosmic forces of nature and the creative forces of nature, the earth will create in itself, by nature, insects of its own kind. Can you not see the mystery? GOD'S Presence in your consciousness, and the recognition of It, will automatically create the good, the desirable and the blessed, and cause you and all things with whom and with which you are concerned to be blessed by such a recognition.


New Year Resolution

I know there are many vows being made. Many vows are being made in the Christian world to live better, to be better and be truer; to be more honest, to be more competent, to be more reliable in every way next year than what they have been this year that is now passing out. Aren't you glad? But what profits it to make such vows and promise to do such things unless you recognize the supernaturalness of GOD'S actual presence the omnipotence and omniscience of HIM Who liveth forever to be with you to guide you and protect you and to lead you and to give you the power and the privilege to do better than you ever did before? It would profit you nothing just to use a formula to say as the old year passes out and the new year comes in, 'I am going to do better, be better, I shall be more honest, I shall be more true to both GOD and to man than what I have been !' Unless you make up your minds to do it and then do it, and realize GOD is with you right here, to help you to do it, you will not be able to do it. You will be going on doing as they have been doing from ages up until now yea, until I came and made My Declaration known because I declare I AM GOD!

It is written of ME,

'In My Name ye shall cast out (you know) other fellows'.'

That is what I AM doing daily! I AM casting out the 'other fellow' of lacks and wants and limitations, of depressions, panics and famine! I AM casting out adverse and undesirable conditions of sickness and diseases and all sorts of undesirable conditions because the Name of GOD is a strong tower and the Righteous run therein and they are saved.

Let us live in this recognition and be conscious of GOD'S Presence. If you can only be conscious of GOD'S Presence metaphysically if you cannot be conscious of GOD'S Presence Personally or Personifiedly, be conscious of GOD'S Presence metaphysically; and suppositional and metaphysically you may get a blessing. But if you can be conscious of GOD'S Presence in Person, you will personally get blessings! Aren't you glad?

That is why, where I AM, the abundance of the fulness of the consciousness of Good no space is vacant of the fulness thereof because the adherents and those who are visitors even, the majority of them are Conscious of GOD'S Personal Presence.


GOD Materialized, Man Spiritualized

GOD Materialized HIMSELF and spiritualizes you so that you might live in the recognition of GOD'S actual Presence and such a recognition is just as operative and expressive as it was in the beginning of the creation when the Spirit of the LORD moved out as Something that was invisible, upon the waters but it was a consciousness, and that Consciousness created the earth. Aren't you glad? Created the Heaven and created the earth! And GOD said,

' Let dry land appear.'
Now live in this recognition and you will have victory over all adverse and undesirable conditions, and you will have not only spiritual blessings but you will have Peace on earth and Good Will toward men, and have success and prosperity economically! You will master the economic situation, and all of your social and intellectual and political and racial problems will be solved, for GOD, your Creator, is the Great Solver!

I have long since declared by composition as a motto for the consideration of the people, and of those of My adherents especially,

'The Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD
is the Source of all Supply, and it will satisfy every Good Desire.'

If I can make you conscious of GOD'S Presence it may be called superstition, it may be called expressions of fanaticism, even radically but if I can convince you GOD is Present among you, the very Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD will be to you the same Spirit that moved out upon the face of the waters in the beginning of the creation and said,

'Let there be light and there was light!'

I said, let here be the abundance of the fulness! Let right here be the consciousness of good wheresoever you are and I will declare to you, no space will be vacant of the fulness thereof! (Loud applause resounds.)


Standard of Independence

Why go around in lacks and wants and limitations? True followers of Mine do not go around soliciting, begging, stealing and borrowing! Aren't you glad? True followers of Mine will express their individual independence, even as our Country declared her Independence as a Nation, for you could not be a real American citizen, according to My Teaching, unless you would express your individual independence and refuse to be dependents, and live in the Consciousness of GOD'S actual Presence; then and only then could you be real, true American citizens.

I AM raising up a standard and a citizenry second to none, where a true follower, if he is physically fit, has health and strength, will not go around soliciting, begging and not a true follower of Mine will be on the relief roll, taking assistance. That is what I AM talking about!

Then you can look over here in this week's issue of The New Day this present current issue of The New Day, and also last week's issue of The New Day, under 'Righteousness Marches On!' In this present current issue of The New Day of December 30, 1950 under 'Righteousness Marches On!' you can see why My followers do not accept of tips and gifts and presents. That is their religious conviction and it is according to our Church Discipline! Can you not see the mystery? That is why they do not insure automobiles and houses and do not insure themselves and their children's lives as an insurance against sickness, death and accident because they know it is not trusting GOD infinitely, conscientiously and sincerely. For this cause we abstain from taking out insurance!


No Social Security or Other Insurances

My true followers own millions and millions of dollars' worth of property, and they do not have any real or personal property insured although they pay high taxes on their personal and real properties where it is called for but they do not insure it because it is against our religious conviction. Therefore, we will not take out insurances, even so much as Social Security insurance. It is against our Religion!

My true followers do not insure themselves, their lives nor their children's lives. They do not insure for sick benefits and accidents or anything of that sort, because we intend to trust the Ever Presence of GOD with Victory over all adverse and undesirable conditions and every hazard that may be created by the 'other fellow' better known by the religions, the d-v-l! Aren't you glad?

This did not just begin! For years and years and years, and it always has been, the true followers of Mine will not insure their own personal properties; will not insure their own real properties! Can you not see the mystery? ('Yes LORD!' came the reply.) And why should they insure them now, if they have not ever done it because of their religious convictions? They would go to jail or even die, if they could, before they do it! I thank you.

(As FATHER made this dynamic statement HE pushes in His chair and started to leave the Holy Communion Hall, only to re-enter and speak as follows:)

PEACE EVERYONE! I have returned! I lost sight of MYSELF and I lost sight of you as persons at the instant!

I want to say at this instance that those of the Rosebuds who have not dined, will be pleased to be the first ones to be seated at this Table, for they must go to our next Service shortly and serve us as the Choir and Choristers. I thank you!

On September 10 we Re-member: I AM Life

I AM known as Alpha and Omega. Before time was, I AM. I encompass the Universe. It is My Habitat, and yet, I AM the heart beat of every man. I caused the mist to roll away and lo, eons of years ago a world appeared, but, even at this very moment, I AM here. And when all is done in My Infinite Plan, It is I Alone Who will remain because I AM eternally the same.

I A M L I F E !

I AM felt in Happiness. I fill the air. Life in all its exuberance is Mine to share. Youth, effervescent and unrestrained is My Domain. Still, in the contentment of the sage, I AM the same. Enjoy My Fountain of Energy, it's boundless, it's free! Let it saturate you endlessly.

I A M L I F E !

I AM seen in Nature. I AM the rush of the wind in the trees, apple blossoms, autumn leaves, the snow-covered crest of the mountain peak, all living creatures that be. I AM the fire that gives warmth and cheer. I AM the seasons of the year. I AM the ebb and flow of the tide; the fury of the storms that rise. I AM the gravity that holds all things to this Paradise on earth I bring. I AM also the Magnetism that suspends the spirit of man in ecstasy, world without end.

I A M L I F E !

I AM heard in Conscience. I speak where no other can, deep within the heart of man. By inner unction I demand to what is always the right stand. But to hear the whisper of My Command man must know that I AM. By constant use and motive sincere and pure, My Whisper, increasingly amplified, is more easily heard.

I A M L I F E !

I AM expressed in Liberty proclaimed throughout the land, I AM the Voice of Freedom that cries out from every man willing to pay for his God-given birthright, generation after generation sacrificing his own life. This relentless surge to be free comes from the very Nature of ME for nothing restricts and nothing binds the movement of My Infinite Mind.

I A M L I F E !

I AM balanced by Equilibrium. From My Veins runs the blood of every nation: in My Sight all are the same. I weigh on the Scale of Justice every act. My Price is just: My reward exact. By ME every man is judged, not by what he says, but by what he does.
The upright do not fear to come before ME. Justice is My Scale: Truth My Creed.

I A M L I F E !

I AM moving in Progress. I never stand still. My press, always onward, My Plan to fulfill. And as man progresses to the Perfection of ME a new dimension to explore, he will begin to see where he can push back frontiers of a new world seen, yet unseen; heard, yet unheard where every challenge is to the perfection of man -- spirit, body and mind where at last he is lost in My Will Divine.

I A M L I F E !

I AM, in essence, the Word made Flesh. I AM the Law of Moses magnified. I AM the Law of the Spirit of Life Personified. By My Spoken Word I AM and in My Word undiluted I remain. Nothing is relevant to the Reality of ME. I Alone Am Absolute. Unrestricted and free I have decreed to be. Through forty-two generations of Biblical history I AM come; through thirty-two lynch mobs in this dispensation every battle I have won. I cannot be separated from the Allness of ME -- Spirit, Body and Mind the same.

I AM LIFE -- I AM ETERNAL -- GOD FATHER DIVINE IS MY NAME !

~~~

I Thank You, Father

For ABUNDANT LIFE !

FATHER DIVINE'S Message given Whilst at theHoly Communion Table

20 West 115 Street, New York City

Thursday, March 19 1936 A.D.F.D., After Midnight

The song below preceded the message. Most effective and appropriate was this particular song, which was as an introduction to this great revelation from the Lord, for it was in accord with same. By the permission of FATHER , this great piece of literature is passed on to you.
Thank YOU FATHER.

Song

'Love! Love! Wonderful love!

Love! Love! Wonderful love!

It flows like a river, forever and ever,

From FATHER DIVINE.

Health! Health! Wonderful health! Etc.

Peace! Peace! Wonderful peace! Etc.

Happiness! Happiness! Wonderful happiness! Etc.

Success! Success! Wonderful success! Etc.

Prosperity! Prosperity! Wonderful prosperity! Etc.

Joy! Joy! Wonderful joy! Etc.

Life! Life! Wonderful life! Etc.

Love! Love! Wonderful love!

Love! Love! Wonderful love!

It flows like a river, forever and ever,

From FATHER DIVINE.'

PEACE EVERYONE:

("Peace FATHER DEAR!" came the happy greeting from the throng.)

...Now look at you. That little song you all seem to love so well, while you may enjoy it and believe it sincerely, there are those of our present civilization who do not enjoy such a version, not only the version as it is put forth through you and in your experience, but apparently, they do not enjoy the reality of this love that flows like a river, in reality.

The Cosmic Forces Obey
While listening to that song, I thought of how marvelous it would be, if this love that flows like a river could and would have access over all mankind, as it has over these. When and wheresoever this love has full and free access in the world, there will be no more vice and crime expressed, and the sins and iniquities of your fathers and your mothers will be remembered no longer. But in these few days you may look over your daily papers, and you can behold as it were a sketch and a reflection of a reminder of the sins and iniquities of your fathers and your mothers. When this love shall have enveloped the world, vice and crime shall come to an end. There shall be no more sin for the Kingdom of GOD shall have truly come and the will of GOD on earth shall be done. Wars and race riots, divisions and confusions and all of the chaotic conditions of the day, will be expressions of the past, where GOD the sun forever reigns and scatters those conditions away, and turns all of your darkeners into bright noonday. When mankind recognizes GOD as a living reality which has come to stay, even the cosmic forces of nature, they will obey.

Why should you live in lacks and wants? Why should you be in disasters? Why should you be in floods and flames? It is all because of vice and crime and sin of every kind. When men shall have been converted from that Adamic state of consciousness and prejudice shall have been completely eradicated, destructive thoughts dispelled from your mentality, there will be no more disasters, even the experience of our present day, yea of these few past days, such an experience will not be when this love shall flow like a river through each and everybody. The cosmic forces of nature will not express themselves destructively, but will express themselves harmoniously. You may be a little skeptical, but I AM here to say, trace your thoughts back to all of MY experiences, to all of MY demonstrations, if it would be stormy, floods, or raining, or cold, the weather becomes to be harmonious, for the harmonious Mind has control. Now isn't that wonderful!

Truth Shall Envelope The World
When this truth shall have enveloped the world, and brought all mankind into subjection to the Christ as you are, then and there, it will be universal as if is here and now under this jurisdiction. Oh, it is a privilege to realize what the life and love of GOD will do for mankind. This is not merely talk, beloved ones, it is our conscious conviction and realization, for it has been openly manifested to the children of men.

'Wheresoever a king reigns, there is where his kingdom is.'I cannot stress it too often and too vividly, for mankind seems to think we are subject to disasters, volcanoes, floods and storms. You are, so long as you live in vice and crime and sin of every kind; so long as you are subject to your predecessors' prejudices and bigoted tendencies, you will be subject to the infirmities of your father, for their iniquities will find you, but it is a privilege to realize even though GOD is a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children from the third to the fourth generation, I AM showing mercies upon thousands of them that love ME, and keep MY Commandments.

We are privileged to see and to say today, those of you who have seen your fathers' errors and have turned from them, those conditions, such as have been cannot find you, for you will be hid from them. We are not thinking about floods. We are not thinking about storms. We do not believe such expressions can do us any harm. Is it not written:

'He that puts his trust in ME, shall never be confounded.'

Then I say trust in the Lord. Have faith in your GOD, and whatsoever you desire, HE will bring it to pass. Upon this cause we can stand as one 'standing in the liberty wherewith the Christ has set us free,' if I might speak it, 'and be not again entangled with the yoke of bondage'- mortality, for GOD from those conditions has set you completely free.

Weather Control Is In The Hands Of Man

Oh, it is something to consider,

'If GOD is for you who can be against you?'

The cosmic forces of nature, they will work in harmony with you, even as you are harmoniously working with the Fundamental of Life. Now isn't that wonderful? But with prejudice and with bigoted minds, with destructive thoughts proceeding forth from your minds, you may expect disaster and destruction at all times. As I say, man controls the conditions of the weather automatically by negative or positive thinking. This is a scientific truth from a scientific point of view, according to the Scripture, for Jesus spoke to the seas when the storm was raging and said "Peace be still." Truly Jesus was the Wayshower, teaching you and others what you should do; how you should live, the way you should go.

Faith is the Essential
When Jesus worked a miracle, apparently the disciples marveled as it. He said,
'If you would have the faith of a grain of a mustard seed, you could say to yonder sycamine tree, be thou plucked up and cast in the depths of the sea, it would obey thee.'This was said to verify the words I have just spoken. If you have the faith of Christ,

'the very work that I do, shall you do,'

said He; therefore, if you are in perfect harmony with GOD, GOD with HIS cosmic forces of nature, the creative forces of nature and every other expression will work in harmony with you. They will not work destructively with you. They work destructively to those and for those who are destructive in themselves, those who think destructive thoughts, holding within themselves destructive ideas and opinions. By so doing, they create for themselves an inharmonious condition mentally, and the outward expression of the hand of nature will work automatically through the cosmic forces of nature destructively, according to your destructive thinking. For this cause, we can rejoice and be exceedingly glad. If you notice the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation, you will find men at times, when the very cosmic forces of nature would work in harmony with them, at times, there were those whom the cosmic forces of nature worked inharmoniously to them, because of the inharmonious attitude they had taken towards GOD and mankind.

Keys to the Hidden Treasure
Since we are producers and expressers of our own positive or negative thinking, hereafter we will think positive thoughts, we will act positive in our actions, and we will work positive works, that we might produce the positive conditions, and the desirable results will follow. Men marvel at the outward expression of the limitlessness of these blessings. Why marvel at this when it is free for you as it is for ME? This unfoldment in this dispensation, as it is put forth into expression under this jurisdiction, is as free for you as it is for ME, but remember, you must live evangelically--give your hearts to GOD whole-heartedly, do away with all prejudices and all bigotry, and allow GOD to rule and work within you.

When this is accomplished, you too, as well as I, will have the keys to the hidden treasures of the earth, we will have the keys to all life and to all health and none will be able to hinder you.
Oh! It is a privilege, dear ones, but if you will turn from the right and live unto self, as you have been, you will bring swift destruction upon yourselves. When this comes forth into expression, you will say it is the hand of GOD. GOD has called for you, or GOD has called for the "other fellow." Your own destructive thinking, your own destructive actions, your own destructive nature and disposition has wrought destruction on your behalf.

Oh! It is something to think about, when you can behold your personal conditions are but the outward expression of your pre-conceived ideas and opinions and your pre-trend of thoughts according to what you have been thinking.

Destructive Thoughts Bring Destruction
Now again, we speak of the great depression and the conflicts, limitations and the hardships that millions are undergoing today. Mankind speaking of trying to lift the present system of things out of the great depression and the hardships which mankind has been undergoing, yet when we look around and observe those who are in authority, using the destructive forces of their power, in other words, abusing their powers to be destructive instead of being constructive. I think of the act of those who are in authority, who will destroy the farm produce, destroy crops, destroy fruit and vegetables and other fruits while millions are starving here. Truly might have one said,
'He that wilfully wastes, he must woefully want,'therefore, those who endorse it and encourage it, they shall suffer...

'A chain is no stronger than its weakest link.'If we have a law in connection with our country that is destructive, the country in itself is destructive. Now isn't that wonderful? (Truly wonderful!" assured the throng.) GOD has moved out on the face of the deep, and GOD shall turn and overturn until HE shall throw out every official who works destructively, and put in those who will stand for righteousness, truth and justice.

No Man Is Perfect
This is something to consider. You find the different politicians, many of them with words and acts of criticism one against another, but show ME one person who will deal justly between man and man, and I will be willing to vote for him. However, I do say, qualify yourselves intellectually, politically, socially and morally to meet the issues of life, whereby you may be able to pass the literacy test for registering and voting for the person or persons you sincerely believe will deal as near just, or the most justly among the children of men. Oh! It is something to consider. As I say at times, why is it there is so much crime? Why is it men resort to crime and violence to seek for justice? It is because they have not been taught the way of righteousness. This is why I have called for righteousness firstly, that justice might follow, for if righteousness does not come firstly, justice will come and be destructive. Now isn't that something to consider? MY own zeal is stirred at times. If it were not for righteousness, I MYSELF, would be Personally destructive, but because of righteousness firstly, I will not be destructive.

This great conversion is the only essential and the only hope of redemption, for without this great conversion, why mankind can see the great depression and also the oppression the millions are undergoing. Without righteousness you would seek justice through violence, therefore you would be destructive, but by seeking righteousness firstly, we will not be destructive. We will allow those who are destructive thinkers to re-act upon themselves. Their destructive thinking causes those conditions to come upon themselves in the fulfillment of the Scripture. "The wicked shall slay themselves." Their wicked thoughts will slay their wicked bodies when they return to the children of men as a boomerang. It is indeed wonderful!

GOD Will Shake The Whole Creation
I was speaking the other day concerning the Civil Right Law, commonly known as "The Equal Rights Law," in the State of Pennsylvania. There are those in the State of Pennsylvania, who have declared this may be made a law, but they will break the law. Because of prejudice, because of hate and destructive thinking, such a tendency will cause destruction and disasters among the nations. Pennsylvania is a State that is hit with this disaster more than any other State in the Union. Why is it? It is because of destructive thinking. Those who are in authority will endorse and encourage the violence of the outlaw, those who are rebelling against righteousness, truth and justice. Therefore, GOD will step in with the cosmic forces of nature, and shake the whole creation.

I have not done anything yet to what I will do unless prejudice and segregation immediately cease in the City and State of New York. They shall feel it and shall feel it and shall feel it. For every dollar, yea for every dollar's worth this country destroys, they shall lose a hundred dollars for every dollar. For every body the lynchers lynch, they shall lose a hundred bodies for that body they lynched. For every dollar the people rob a person out of by the name of color, or for the cause of race, they shall lose a hundred dollars for every dollar.

Discrimination Is A Robber
Take these thoughts to consideration.....Now remember, even the name C------- is a robber, I say, even the name C------ is a robber. Now isn't that wonderful! The person who must use the name C------ in reference to you, they are using it consciously or unconsciously as a robber, and I will prove what I AM talking about. Your qualifications may be equivalent to any other individual, but because of your race or color, as they may call it, they would not give you the office and if they gave you the office, they would not pay you the full salary. Now isn't that robbery? Now tell them I said it. The name C------ in itself is a robber when it is used to discriminate and to differentiate between man and man for the purpose of lower-rating and disgracing the individual. It is indeed wonderful! When you hear them say,"Yes, it is such and such a man--a "so-and-so man," regardless to his qualifications or his education or classification, handling him especially by some vulgar name that your cursed ancestors named them for slavery to keep them in bondage and to keep them as slaves to serve you, those of you who would serve them for nothing, the name in itself is used for robbery; to rob mankind out of his Constitutional Rights in this great Country, under which we are supposed to be protected by the Constitution of the United States.

With Or Without A Body
Oh! It is something to consider. Truly might have one said, by the prediction of the Spirit, as he was awakened,

'Tell Israel of her transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.'

Now they desire to stop this movement. They desire for corruption, vice and crime to continue, but I have come this time to end it. If there be a question in the mind of any "How can HE end it?" I will tell you. I AM Personal and yet Impersonal. I will accomplish MY endeavors with or without a person, with or without MY Personal Body. All I must needs do is to think or speak and MY Words will go forth and accomplish MY endeavors. I AM not bothering about the Body. If I have a Body, or if I did not have a Body, I would and I will accomplish MY endeavors, with or without a Body.

When the Body called Jesus disappeared, there and then the Foundation of Christendom was established and His Mission began. Now isn't that wonderful? His Mission began as soon as HE ceased to function as a Person, therefore, GOD is GOD with or without a Body. Those who would think on Jesus, the transmission of His Spirit and His Characteristics would be imparted to them. They too, as well as you, would be partakers of His nature, of His characteristics to carry out His endeavors automatically. Now isn't that wonderful?

Truly might have one said,

'Am I a soldier of the Cross, a follower of the Lamb and shall I fear to own His Cause or blush to speak His Name?'

As soldiers you go into the battle field to win or die. If you can die on the battle-field as a brave soldier, the spirit and the mind and your endeavors would be accomplished, for it would go on further and further. It is a privilege to realize GOD as a living sacrifice for all mankind as HE was in the Son's time in the Body in which HE came.

Establishing Righteousness Firstly
Righteousness! Truth and Justice, I have established it. Justice is established in your consciousness, in your mentality, therefore, Christ is ruling o the throne of your mind, and Christ alone shall reign thereon, because you sought righteousness firstly. Christ could not reign on the throne of the mind of those who have not sought righteousness, but since I have put righteousness into expression firstly for you and for your consideration, I will carry out MY endeavors to perfection.

Why will it be carried out scientifically and victoriously? It is because righteousness was sought firstly. Men have been on the bench as Justices but not with righteousness, therefore, without righteousness Christ will not rule on the throne of their minds as Supreme among the children of men, but because we have established righteousness firstly in your consideration and in your consciousness.

'Righteousness and Judgment is the habitation of HIS throne. The earth saw and trembled.'

Christ Alone Shall Reign
Christ has been enthroned on the throne of the minds of the children of men--all who have sought righteousness firstly without thinking destructively. Now GOD can rule in righteousness on the throne of their minds, and have all dominion and all authority without endeavoring to do any person any harm, but without righteousness, I say, men would be destructive. Violence would be sought firstly to seek justice. You would feel as if though you must take the law in your own hand to gain your Constitutional Rights, to gain that which is actually due you, that which mankind through corruption and falsity has taken from you. Now isn't that wonderful? You would endeavor to seek it through violence if you u were not converted, but since you are converted, you will seek it through righteousness, and you will get justice, for Christ will give it while HE reigns on the throne of righteousness and has all dominion.

Oh! It is a privilege to live in this recognition. Dial in on the fundamental continually, where GOD alone forever reigns and scatters night away, where GOD Himself through His condescension has truly come and turned all of your night into bright noonday, and will remain here always. I thank you.

Peace Everyone:

("Peace FATHER Dear!" again responded the great mass throng.)

I believe the most of us have well dined. I hope you have, for I have. There are many things yet to be said, I will say more in deeds and in actions. I will be speaking hereafter as I have never spoken. I shall not be discouraged until I shall stir from the bottom to the top. I mean to stir up until the least shall speak and the greatest shall do the same, and all must pay attention to what I AM saying. It is indeed wonderful, but the greatest thing of all, to know ye your GOD...GOD was GOD before HE had any Body and before you knew of HIM having a Body, HE was just the same. God is the same and always shall remain with or without a Bodily Form, matters not what may try to come, I shall be eternally the same. I thank you.
