SONG
Back Our Boys with Brotherhood
Verse I:
Our boys are fighting across the sea - To preserve our great democracy - Unite and back our boys-back our boys with Brotherhood!Chorus:
Back our boys with brotherhood - And show them they are not alone, - Prove to them that they're fighting for - A democracy that"s one for all and all for one! - Unite in one body of fellowship; - Give our boys moral strength to carry on! - Keep their faith in Democracy safe and secure; - Back our boys with brotherhood!
Verse II:
It's the least we can do to help our boys; - Our boys who bravely fight to keep us free, - So stand by them, AMERICA -- Unite, Unite as we!
Repeat Chorus:
FATHER DIVINE Speaks as follows:
"PEACE, EVERYONE: That little composition is not merely music alone but it is our conscious religious conviction we should back our boys with brotherhood and let them know they are not alone!
"I came to America that I might be called an American, reproducing and reviving and giving a new birth to real Americanism! Aren't you glad! Therefore, we are here to express in the actuated words of expression the actuated brotherhood of man, and demonstrate the personification of the Fatherhood of GOD! Aren't you glad!
"GOD is no longer a dream. Aren't you glad! I say, I am no longer a dream! I heard you say down in Christendom,
'Farewell, ye dreams of night!'
"Therefore, GOD is no longer a dream. I came to make real, tangible and practical, Christianity, democracy, brotherhood and god himself! That is what I am doing here on earth today!
"Then it is a privilege, is it not? Because, just as I have it here so shall I have it from shore to shore and from land to land!
"The boys are fighting across the sea to preserve this great democracy; but unless we back our boys with brotherhood on the home front, the fighting will be in vain! They will come right back here and will not find democracy in action. But I came to put it into practice so effectively until it will be universally established and active universally!
Look over this vast audience! It is beautiful, isn't it? And it is just like the brotherhood of man would be, isn't it? We all eat out of the same class or grade of china and use the same class or grade of silverware! Aren't you glad! We all sit around this holy communion table as one big family, just like brothers should do! Aren't you glad! The brotherhood personified, recognized and realized, and brotherhood tangibilated and universalized--and all shall eventually realize GOD is no longer a dream!
Holy men spoke as they were moved by the Spirit, and the prophets and sages, they spoke in visions and dark dreams. One said,
If there be a prophet among you, him, the LORD, your GOD, will speak to in visions and in dreams; but My Servant Moses is not so. He I will speak to even mouth to mouth apparently!'
"Aren't you glad! So we mean to continue to back our boys with brotherhood and bring them out of that suppositional world of superstition and bring them into the recognition and the realization of what you have been praying for:
'Peace on earth and Good Will toward men!'This was the mission of Christ on earth for them, was it not?
"The wise men declared they heard the angels sing,
'Glory to GOD in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men!'
came to bring this peace and good will toward men, and unify them, and bring about the universal brotherhood of man and the conscious recognition and the realization of the fatherhood of GOD for which you all have prayed!
Then when you said your prayer that is commonly known as the lord's prayer, you were praying for the Fatherhood of GOD. You said, "Our Father," did you not? You wanted the fatherhood of GOD exemplified. Even if you were not conscious of it, you desired to have the Fatherhood of GOD exemplified and realized! Now aren't you glad!
"And when we sing these patriotic compositions we are not merely singing to be singing for the music, but we are singing according to our religious, political and national convictions, that just what we believe in and what we preach and teach should be made a living reality!
"For this cause, I stand before you, representing the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of GOD personified! Now isn't that wonderful? No longer merely visualized and surmised, but the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of GOD personified. I mean, a person; and the personages of his creation as the brotherhood of man, and as the fatherhood of GOD as them! Aren't you glad!"
**************
"MY Followers are conscious GOD is Present! Aren't you glad! You all are conscious of GOD'S PRESENCE, are you not? And by such a conscious conviction and realization it actually solves your every problem and adjusts matters satisfactorily for you, and established your going in the land of the living, and giveth victory where there was failure! No longer living in lacks and wants and limitations! No longer bound by localization! Aren't you glad! I have broken that live of demarcation and I AM tearing down the powers of the "other fellow"! Aren't you glad!
"Why should you be bound locally by localization because of your complexion? If this is a democracy documentally I shall make it a democracy in reality! And it is truly a democracy documentally, for the fundamental documents of this democracy have been drafted, lo, many years! They are the foundation stones of a utopian government--on that they did not want Wallace to be the Vice President of because he had some of MY Thoughts! Aren't you glad!
"But whether it is enacted legally or illegally it is immaterial to ME. You don't have to have a law to do right--to force you to do RIGHT. We shall live democracy with or without a law to enforce it! That is what I say to our fellow citizens, hearers and friends: let us break that line of demarcation, for where there is no division there is no strife, but where there is division there is strife, and where there is strife there is confusion. Can you not see the mystery? And where there is confusion there are lacks and wants and limitations, adverse and undesirable conditions. But we have none here! -- just very pleasantly! Aren't you glad!
