Brother Joseph Isaac King, Great Uncle of Martin Luther King

The following is the story of Mr. Joseph Isaac King,

the Great Uncle of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Joseph Isaac King was a believer and follower of the teaching of FATHER DIVINE.

Roger Klaus stated that Martin Luther King was aware of FATHER DIVINE'S Teaching and in order to establish this as fact, Mr. Eli Diana and Mr. Hezekiah Craig were asked for more information.. These two brothers live in California and for a time they, lived in the same home with Brother Joseph Isaac King who was a great uncle of Martin Luther King. The following was their response.


Joseph Isaac King, from what he told us, was born in 1870 in the house of Robert E. Lee. In fact at his burial in Los Angeles in the late seventies (Joseph King died of a heart attack ), some of the descendants of R.E. Lee, came to the funeral. This shows that the family where he had been raised as a boy never lost contact with him for over a hundred years. The tie must have been very strong.

As a young man he worked in the coal mines around Birmingham, Alabama, and this is where, one day, coming out of the mine, in 1903, he saw FATHER for the first time. Even though FATHER kept a meek and insignificant appearance, King was strongly attracted, and he told us that the Message FATHER was giving then was consistent to what He kept telling us up to the sixties. He knew about MOTHER DIVINE in the First Body at the turn of the Century. King said that when he met FATHER for the first time, FATHER was wearing a little beard.

In 1906 he went to look at the devastation in San Francisco and he told me that he was with FATHER at the time.

The brothers questioned if we here in Philadelphia had a record of FATHER DIVINE being in San Francisco in 1906. We have no record of that but it is quite possible and even probable because at that time the Holy Ghost descended on California and FATHER would be there stirring things up.

Joseph used to voluntarily enlist for a period of time in the Army, to take a rest from the coal mines. The last time he did it, the first World War broke up. He must have been in such good shape that they never checked on his age. And so he was shipped to France, and the only memory he would talk about was: "Too many dead".

At the Divine Lorraine Hotel, in the fifties, on one Anniversary, while with a group of followers from California and passing in front of FATHER and MOTHER, he caught FATHER'S attention and FATHER kept looking at him in recognition.

King, with his stories that covered a full century, was 108 when he passed. . I wish I could have talked with him more, but by then the only place I saw him was at the Church Banquets on sundays. He had seen lots of changes in this country, and remembered Philadelphia when there were cobble stone streets and fields, and horses and buggies. Television fascinated him.

From Mr. Melchizedec who lived with him, we know his fortune, coming from real estate, surpassed at the time, one million dollars. And he received a substantial income of some twenty thousand dollars a month from rented apartment buildings he owned in Saint Louis and Chicago. He had purposely not raised the rent since the forties, and the grateful tenants took care of their own repairs and painting.

Looking at his bank book, he would tell Hezekiah right at the little table in the kitchen here where we are now, "Your money can make more money than you can,"- meaning the interest. His son,- and his grand sons, or great grand sons whom he brought to the Church on one occasion, inherited the estate. He had made some contributions to the Church, and to Martin Luther King as well, who was a relative of his and with whom he shared a striking resemblance. When Martin Luther King came to Los Angeles, in the sixties, he went personally to see Mr. King in his apartment on the West side.

Joseph Isaac King drove a station wagon up to his last days, and the Department of Motor Vehicles could not understand how he could pass the test without eyeglasses. FATHER blessed him with longevity and good health. Hezekiah recalls seeing him, on one of the paint jobs he helped him with, carrying two wooden ladders on his shoulder- and he was about one hundred years old then ! He was a very good physical specimen and in his youth must have had the strength of two men. He lived with Hezekiah at our brother's quarters, on 37th Drive, for some two years. Roger met him there. He loved to testify at the Church.

Thanking FATHER and MOTHER, we send our Peace and Love to All.

Eli / Hezekiah



Peace Philip,

The complementary information, especially about Martin Luther King's visit to Mr. King in L.A. authenticates their relationship.

Mr. King, in his later years, contrary to Mr. Job Patience who was very sweet and of about the same age, seemed to have become more headstrong, and this probably affected his heart. And he had been married three times too,- as he told Hezekiah- his first wife being Anglo-Saxon, which at that time was unheard of.

Anyway, all this gives all those who are living the Life more courage and determination, seeing the Love FATHER has blessed us with. What HE did for one, HE can do for All, and more.

Thanking FATHER and MOTHER Dear.

Peace Philip Elie


P.S.- Forgot to mention King told us FATHER saved his life while being trapped in a mine after a gas explosion. All the other miners were killed. Unconscious for a while he managed to crawl through the debris up to the surface and was pulled out, unhurt,- the only survivor.
Peace, E and H

*************************************

Mr. Roger Klaus submitted this additional information about Joseph Isaac King:

I lived with Mr. King and 3 or 4 other brothers under FATHER DIVINE'S Peace Mission at 1137 W. 37th Drive, Los Angeles, California from late 1964 to April of 1967.

Mr. Joseph King, the great uncle of Martin Luther King was, to the best of my knowledge, the oldest licensed driver in Los Angeles and an only survivor of a coal mine collapse that killed 120 men. His stories of his discovering FATHER'S Deity were fascinating. He was unable to keep it to himself and was abused by disbelievers when he continually voiced his conviction.

His mother was a slave under Robert E. Lee and he told of a tent that was in the Lee household which George Washington used. The tent is now at the Valley Forge Visitors Center.

Although Mr. Kings education was limited, his life experiences were full of wisdom that came out in his sometimes humorous recollections such as "I was growed up before they had sidewalks."
Mr. King was the only person I knew of that could give an eyewitness account of FATHER'S activities in the early 1900's. I regret not having written down the many "matter of fact" stories that were in front of me while living with Mr. King. FATHER obviously touched his heart deeply and blessed him to a long fruitful life.

He liked to debate and challenge whatever whatsoever was current or past. He was very independent but liked me because I would avoid argument but simply listen to his point of view i.e. such as when man walked on the moon Mr. King didn't believe the television coverage. "That's made up stuff." But he readily recognized the miracles FATHER worked daily.

When I moved to Philadelphia in 1967 Mr. King was still climbing 40 foot ladders and painting exterior buildings with a 6 inch brush at a very good speed using oil based enamel.

The Civil Rights Movements of that era were truly the Work of GOD

and the Work goes on until that Perfect Day when the Dream is fulfilled.

Living in the Eternal Dimension: One Eternal Christmas and One Eternal New Year

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!

Harmony No 36 Divinity of Father Divine

Civilization must be Reconstructed on Honesty

Office Talk Given by FATHER DIVINE to Some of HIS StaffWhile in His Private Office, Circle Mission Church of Philadelphia,764-772 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA.Monday June 4 1945 A.D.F.D. 2:15 P.M.

While speaking on the thought of how important it is to be self-denied, FATHER mentioned the fact that at times, many through selfishness, get food between their soul and their Savior, and it has been the case where some, in many instances, through greediness and a gluttonous spirit, have eaten themselves to death. One of the secretaries asked FATHER if through denying yourself of thinking of your stomach so much and eating less excessively in other words getting your mind off of self, it would be conducive to greater spiritual growth and unfoldment- to which FATHER replied in the affirmative. And it was at this point that one of the secretaries started recording, that the universe at large might share these great Pearls of Wisdom.

For Thy Words of Salvation to the Children of Men, Almighty GOD, We Humbly Thank Thee!

( The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and the following is the Office Talk, with FATHER speaking firstly as follows:)

As I was thinking about, the other night when I was serving the Banquet, how much difference it is in a person who is serving self and for a selfish purpose all the time, from one who is unbiased. They (the ones who are unbiased) they have more to serve because they have more to serve. They have more to be served, therefore it is essential for them to have more food and everything else to serve, to handle, because there are more to be served, and therefore, if it is a morsel for every person as there is a berry for every bird, naturally, if you get the persons, the morsels must come, and if you get the birds, the berries will come. The berries will come where the birds are. If they are confined, they will attract and draw the berries. Their appetites will draw them.

It reminds ME that once they claim some place the Indians wanted rain and it was so they couldn't get rain, and the people had prayed for the rain, and the Indians knew that GOD would hear the animal's prayers. Understand, anything that has breath and can move from place to place of its own accord, is an animal. So, they caught a good many water turtles or terrapin, and tied them out in the hot sun and they said they would pray for the rain and the rain would come, and so they did, and the rain came.

So the thought goes, the desires of anything will attract and draw that which is desired, if it is necessary. So, if you get the birds, the berries will come, and if you get the mouths, the morsels will come and the things to satisfy the different desires and the different appetites- therefore, they wonder why and how, it and they can have so much to supply the people with.
Well if you have the people, the supply will come to the desires to satisfy the appetites that desire; if they desire in all sincerity, and if they are worthy and it is actually needed, it will come. So that is the mystery of supply.

Secretary: You know, FATHER, many times you aren't hungry, but you just eat through habit.

Selfish Thinkers
FATHER: Yes, but some think more of self than anything and anybody else, and the very thoughts are directed in a selfish direction, and even if they come up from the satisfying of the physical appetite for food, material food, if there develops a mental desire for anything, it is something for selfish aggrandizement or something of that sort; it always points out to self even mentally as well as physically and personally. So it is essential to be born again, to be born again out of that Adam ic state of consciousness and think differently from the way you originally thought by nature and through and from hereditation and prenataled influence you had been thinking.

To be born out of it, you get on the real line and whatsoever is necessary for the sustenance of the body and for your mental and Spiritual existence, will come automatically when you stress your thoughts in the positive direction and absolutely unselfishly.

Secretary: It is wonderful! It automatically takes your thoughts off of self. You don't have to think about it.

FATHER: It is plain to see concerning ME. A good many say, "Well YOU have everything!" I do have everything, and yet I do not have anything, because I refuse to have anything as a Person, and yet as a Person to ME everything is automatically supplied to satisfy My every desire. It comes forth into expression automatically by the relaxation of My conscious mentality, not thinking for the purpose of Myself as a Person. So it is a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Blessing!

Self-denial Is The Keynote to the Mysteries
And the more you deny yourself for Righteousness' sake, if it is necessary, justifiable or justifiably to be extended, it will come forth into expression automatically as cooperation, as help, as everything, and it does come forth into expression. The sacrifice is being made of those things all the time, therefore they are increasing and multiplying all the time. It is wonderful. So, it really means something to be self-denied. It is the keynote to the mysteries of the secret of the ages to satisfy and to fulfill the predictions of the prophets and the sages and that of the predictions made by them concerning things in the positive instead of the negative.

Secretary: It is marvelous!

Another Secretary: I remember, when we first came to YOU, when we would get a seat at the table, the first thing we served on our plates, we wanted to hurry and eat it and get rid of it so we could watch YOU, and I noticed some of the older sisters, they seemed to think more of eating than giving praises to YOU.

FATHER: As I said, with that tendency or preconceived mind or sense of selfishness, if it is not in the flesh and for the material things that the human appetite calls for, even if it is something that the mentality calls for, or even something that the would-be spirit calls for, as it may be deemed, it is directed in a selfish direction for a selfish purpose in opposition to others at times, when it comes through a selfish channel. You even hear people speak of blessings, and someone will testify of an unfoldment of the Truth from a spiritual or mental point of view above the ordinary expression of the person in the audience and of what has been commonly known, another at times will try to produce something better in illustration or testimony to be more stressful to be considered that they might get personal consideration. Then that if it is done through a selfish channel, it is not as it would be if it is done volitionally and through an unselfish channel.

Be Conscientious and Sincere
So it is a wonderful thought to see and know what it really means to be self-denied. But the great essential from your infancy is to be conscientious and sincere in whatsoever you may endeavor and be honest in your deed and in your actions. Do not try to make someone think you understand when you do not understand. Do not try to get an example worked out by someone else and you not know it. You should know the example when it is worked out supposedly by you. You should know it! Not just say, "I will get someone to work it out for me," or "I will copy someone else's to do it," in order to pass it. You are robbing yourself because you fail to know what you are getting honors for. And every promotion you get, it should be thorough for it should be your experience and your own by merit and not by favoritism, neither by someone else's consideration nor someone else's information as given.

Secretary: Just the other day, one of the school children came to me and asked me to write her speech for her. I told her I wouldn't think about such a thing; that she should write it herself, although I did say I would give her a few suggestions. On the same day another one of the children brought me the speech she had written, to look over the valedictorian address, and FATHER, it is a beautiful speech.

FATHER: It is wonderful to work out things. I mean, to be able to work them out yourself individually; but if anyone gives you information concerning any example, if they give you the information, you should not stop until you get it and understand it so it is yours by inheritance, you see. You have inherited that from the person who gave it by instruction, but you should learn it, not just say, present it as a the example someone else has written out just in order to pass and be promoted without the knowledge of it yourself individually; but if you get it yourself personally, it is real!

The Foundation Of Civilization Must Be Reconstructed
Hence, the Foundation of the whole world of our advanced civilization, no doubt, must be reconstructed, for it has been founded through and by the acts of dishonesty the dishonesty of the pupil and the dishonesty of the teacher in a great measure. It should be honesty from start to finish, and sincerity. And if this would be, the child who seeks to get converted or seeks salvation from a conversional point of view, as some teach the system of getting converted, they would teach it in all sincerity and would be diligent in whatsoever they do and would be conscientious, true and faithful in whatsoever they would do and receive, for it would be real. It would not be just a pretense or mockery of the truth concerning the Mystery, but to the person, the individual, it would be a reality!

True conversion is a great thing. Now there may be a question as to the emotional expression of the conversion and where it starts and where it stops and how one would or should express his conversion by emotion and by vibrations and emotional expressions. Under whatsoever religious affiliation you are seeking that light of salvation, to that degree of that unfoldment of those of the converts of that religion, I mean, as they deem it to be, you will get it from the convictions of those who have been converted and from that degree of that unfoldment wherein those persons have been converted under that realm.

The divers emotions and expressions of the vibrational inner urge of the persons being converted would, according to the persons under whom they are seeking conversion in that field of activity, in that field through which they are being religiously born from that angle of expression and from those from that angle the emotional expressions come forth according to the conversion, according to their convictions, and their convictions would be according to the person or persons under such a religion. If it is under the Holiness Movement, it would express from that angle of expression. If it is another ritual or another dogma, it would express from that angle of expression according to the highest leading of that particular expression of that religion. Therefore the emotions and vibrations would be according to same.

Expression Is According To Heredity
Therefore, you cannot confine the emotions and vibrational expressions of the person saving as that person is converted and awakened into some vibrational emotional expression. One may express in this manner and another in that, according to the spiritual awakening of the person from the within and from whence cometh that vibrational expression through concentration. It expresses according to the ancestors from whence those emotions come, and it is emotionally put forth into expression according to the conversion of the person and according to the ancestral emotional expression of that same emotion coming down by tradition.

One may get converted under different churches even, and different organizations and may express emotionally the vibrational expressions of those that are not directly under that particular religion. They have maybe transcended that limited barrier of that particular organizational religion and may have received the inspiration from some other passing through the borders of the organizational expression of that particular religion and you may see them vibrationally and emotionally express according to it, yet it may not be exactly the direct emotional expression in that particular religious family.

Secretary: That would have to be a case of those, FATHER, that have come up through metaphysical religion where they are so still. They would have to be passing through the borders of some other religion, wouldn't they?

FATHER: It may come through some where they were still or had been still, yet it may be some vibrational expression, or some emotion the organizational expression of that particular lineage of religion and they may express from that angle of expression. That is why one said: "Prove yourself a workman, rightly dividing the Word of Truth, to be able to comprehend with all saints."

Or words to that effect. You can be able to comprehend with all saints when you are spiritually awakened to the light of understanding to know that you cannot confine the emotions and the expressions of religion to any special specific limited emotional expression. That is why one should not be ready to condemn so quickly, for you may haply try to condemn a person through jealousy or through envy or through prejudice or bigotry and be running up against the Holy Ghost from some other religious conviction with which you are not so swell acquainted.

(And with this last remark, FATHER left the Office to serve the Holy Communion.)

Father Says Thought Controls Climate Conditions

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.

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.

Father Divine Speaks to Washington

"PEACE EVERYONE! Good Health, Good Will, and a Good Appetite for all of the Inhabitants of Washington City, the same as for New York. All of these blessings are for you, if you will live Evangelical, but you cannot come into possession of them unless you bring your bodies into subjection to the Life and the Teaching of CHRIST, the Author and the Finisher of all of these good blessings.

"...I need not say so much in Words, as I have long since said, and still AM Saying, I will preach CHRIST in Words partially only, but more so in deeds and in actions, and I will put MY Spirit in them and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. For this cause we will be speaking to you in our very Invisible Presence. By the Presence of GOD, transmitingly, to you as to others, this Presence is Sufficient to speak silently and secretly, when you are sleeping in your dreams. It can and will speak, when you are sleeping, when you are not dreaming. When you arise in the morning you will be thinking somewhat differently.

"I Said the other day, in coming to Washington, D.C., MY endeavors were, to create an atmosphere of enthusiasm, and stir the spirit of merriness in the hearts and lives of the people, that they might be partakers of the CHRIST'S Characteristics,--and also to contagionize the atmosphere of Washington, D.C., with the very Spirit of GOD'S Presence, that this great contagion might catch the White House on Fire, that the Spirit of GOD'S Presence might speak in the President, and act in the officials. It is indeed wonderful!

"Why do I Say, that it might speak in the President and act in the officials? It is because it is transmittable! It is because it is reincarnatable! It is because it is personifiable! Therefore, this Truth and this Mind, shall be universally Personified. By its being universally Personified, it will bring all nations, languages, tongues and people together, that they might

'Love ye one another.'

"This is a Sample, this is an Example, I have brought to Washington, as a Sample for all of humanity, as the Personifier of the Brotherly Love of the Universal Brotherhood of Man. When this shall have been established in the Capitol of our great Country, then and there, there will be no more race-riots and wars, among the people. "

Excerpt from FATHER DIVINE'S Sermon

Given at the Murray Casino, Washington, D.C., December 18, 1934 A.D.F.D.

Father Divine indicates that a Universalist Faith is Coming

Father Divine speaks:

Someone brought up this morning the subject of the Pope's recent appeal for one religion and one church and his demand that the Protestant churches return to the Church of Rome. FATHER said, 'It has been brought to MY notice to do that, and there are some that believe it can be done- -a universal religion and a universal language to be taught in all of the schools, and there are some that believe if I will do certain things and establish it legally, there will be a universal language taught in all the schools that will be a real language wheresoever you may be, and all will learn this language which will be set apart as an international language and there will be an international religion. It has been spoken of and it has been put before ME for consideration, and naturally someone will speak of it and someone will desire to bring it about, but it cannot be Catholic or Mohammedan, or could it be especially Christendom or any special religion, for it will cover the whole universe--an international religion and an international language and an international people.

"That is a step towards bringing all into the unity of spirit and mind and body as one. The cancellation of these things has been accomplished by the Spirit from a spiritual point of view and under MY Personal jurisdiction there is one language, there is one people, there is one religion, from a spiritual point of view, but it is being thought upon to be recognized and legalized. As I said years back, I AM working cancellation, I AM canceling the nationalities though they be many, and I have and AM canceling the races, though they be supposedly five; I have canceled them down to the two races and from the two races to the one race which was and it is the human race. And now I AM canceling the human race and recreating in the cancellation of the human race, the angelic race.

"Then there will be no more human race, nor the Adamic nature that has existed in the bodies of the children of men, but the angelic nature, the Divine nature transmuted from the individual expression or individual expressions of GOD to individuals in the form of man. And it thereby reflects and manifests the angelic nature, bringing them into subjection to the Divine Mind, and hence we will have the angelic race reproduced from and materialized from the spiritual realm of the unseen and the visibilization and materialization of this expression in the flesh. And here and now we have begun to unfold and it will be brought before the international courts to be recognized and enforced from a legal standpoint of view. They will find it after awhile, the same as when MY Message was transmuted through Mr. Lanyon nearly a year ago, and through his fame and through MY Name in him, the message of the Kingdom of GOD here and now and of this universal brotherhood of man and Fatherhood of GOD is being conveyed to the Orthodox Church and the Catholics. They accepted that, many of them, but through the lack of perfect love and in spirit and also in authority, they rose up with spirit of revolt and with the spirit of violence through lack of love but caught a glimpse of their liberty, their freedom, their rights to be free, and they stood to free themselves from the king as I have conveyed the message of deliverance through the name of Mr. Lanyon and by the fame of the Spirit of the CHRIST Consciousness. And in Spain they rose up to dethrone the king to drive him out as soon as I conveyed MY Message through the fame of Mr. Lanyon and through the name of the CHRIST Consciousness and they rose up to dethrone the king and drive him out. And as MY Spirit turned in a different direction towards Italy, even before the body arrived, the Spirit had arrived in Italy to dethrone the Pope."
