The Mount of the House of the Lord
FATHER DIVINE:
"I said from time to time, I HAVE MY OFFICE, of course I AM not seeking one, but I told you all many years ago, 'I AM going to The White House! If I do not get in on the Elephant, I will get in on the Donkey!'
"I rode the Donkey in some years ago. You all read about it when they were filibustering against the FOUNDATION of LIFE! Trying to condemn the WORK and MISSION of your HUMBLE SERVANT they rode ME into The House of Representatives and also into The Senate! They preached ME for many days! They thought they were RIDING ME but I was RIDING THEM!*
"Now I MYSELF Personally AM not seeking any physical or material office. I have MY Mental and Spiritual Office, for I will transmit MY Thoughts to others, and they will get them! If they do not get them through literary correspondence they must get them through mental telepathy or they must get them through science and invention! They must get them from some angle of expression, for that of which I have declared must be FULFILLED with or without a Body."
* Senator Allen J. Ellendar of Louisiana, was the one discrediting FATHER DIVINE'S Work and Mission and read the whole Righteous Government Platform as recorded in the Congressional Record of January 19th and 20th, 1938.
Note: Religious documents are said to be at all times barred from the Congressional Record, but by means of Senator Ellendar's opposition, the Righteous Government Platform was read into the Record.
