FATHER Speaks as follows:
I have believers as non-believers. Aren't you glad! The majority of the people in New York City are with ME. They are with ME politically, they are with ME economically, they are with ME socially, they are with ME morally and they are with ME religiously--the majority of them! Even if they do not want to be, they are with ME anyhow! If I don't get your mind, I will get your spirit!
We shall have a Righteous Government! Aren't you glad! Righteousness begins in the heart and in the life of the individual. Then, as with an individual, so with a nation! Then with a nation, so with all nations universally; for as I contagionize this nation with this great Contagion, and as I converted Uncle Sam and sent him out on an "Evangelistic Trip," so will I have all government going out carrying the Good News!
(FATHER held up the July 6th issue of The New Day opened to a sketch of Uncle Sam carrying the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and FATHER'S Righteous Government Platform abroad.)
Uncle Sam has gone off on a trip carrying good news and glad tidings to all mankind! Aren't you glad! For long ago Uncle Sam declared, "In GOD we trust," and he kept trusting in GOD whether he was conscious of it or not, until GOD CAME!
Now I AM helping Uncle Same clean up the country of all of its corrupt politicians! Aren't you glad! I AM not only cleaning up the City, but I AM cleaning up this whole nation of all of its corrupt politicians, and I shall do it with or without a ballot! It matters not with ME whether I or MY followers cast a ballot or if we do not cast a ballot, that which I have endeavored, I will accomplish; for, "It is not by power nor by might but by My Spirit."
I AM not bothering about the ballot! MY followers can vote if they find that they are privileged to vote as a whole, but as I said the other day, you politicians get a bill passed where every American citizen will be privileged to vote without regard to whatsoever name he may have, and if you do, why then, I in this City alone, will give you two hundred thousand. I say, I in this City alone will give you at least two hundred thousand to your good! But I say, MY followers will not vote if they disfranchise one because of his religious conviction!
Now, petition your respective representatives in Congress to introduce bills, at least to introduce a bill, that will bring an abolition to every barrier on account of the name!
Politicians and representatives of the political field you are robbing yourselves when you are trying to bar ME and MINE! There are those who are being converted to this MY Belief by the thousands yearly, and they will be with ME politically. If I endorse the voting, they will vote! If I say, STAY YOUR HAND, you will stay it, will you not? ("Yes" came the immediate response)
Now, if the politicians want you to vote, see that a bill is passed in Congress in both the lower and the upper houses, that will grant every American citizen the privilege to vote even if his name is C-A-T, Cat! You allow men to vote who are named "Wolf!" You allow men to vote who are named "Fox." You allow men to vote who are named "Hog!" Because their names are names of animals, it does not say that they are animals! They are not animals--they are American citizens! They have a right to vote in whatsoever name they are called by! And so have MY followers the same right to vote in the DIVINE names. Aren't you glad! I came to judge the people with equity, and we shall have a righteous government!
Then I say, you, as representatives of your respective constituents and those of you as constituents of your respective representatives in Congress, petition them to introduce such a bill, and whosoever will introduce such a bill and get it passed, where all American citizens will be privileged to register and vote without any molestment or embarrassment, regardless to what name they have, if you pass that bill as a representative of any respective party, I will endorse your party that once anyhow, because that is your Constitutional right!
You have the right to register and vote if you are American citizens, regardless to what your name may be. As I said a little while ago, there are plenty of high class American citizens who have names of the animals I called a little while ago, but that does not say they are animals because they have animal names. As far as American citizenry is concerned, they may be high class American citizens if they live according to the Constitution and its Amendments. They can be as high class American citizens by having a name that is in the likeness of the name of an animal just the same as if they have a name in the likeness of the name of an angel. Now, take these thoughts to consideration.
Those of you who desire our support politically, socially, economically and otherwise, unless you harmonize with ME, I will not harmonize with you.
'Two cannot walk together except they agree.'
Then I say, you must harmonize with ME if you desire for ME to harmonize with you. Do not merely harmonize in words, but harmonize in deeds and in truth, then I will harmonize with you in reality!
