FATHER DIVINE:
"... whilst looking over this vast audience and beholding the Recognition of MY Presence and the consciousness of your minds of MY Presence, I beheld as though it was the real expression of a True Independence that shall envelop the world! As this Day has been set apart by millions of American citizens and her subjects throughout the universe to worship, in other words, to celebrate as the day of the Declaration of Independence, but what more fitting purpose, and more patriotic, could we be than to gather you all together from all the hidden corners of the earth and bring you into this Recognition and into the realization of GOD HIMSELF and make you Individually Independent even as our Country declared her Independence as a nation? Aren't you glad!
"How marvelous it is to look over this vast audience and millions of other places throughout the Universe, and untold millions of individuals declaring their independence today individually, even as our Country declared her Independence as a Nation, as a memorial to the Declaration of Independence, Aren't you glad! to this Day that was set apart as Independence Day!
"What a privilege to live in such a Recognition and make Real American Citizens Individually Independent, individually independent so that they might express their Independence Individually and be the Outward Expression of the Real Declaration! By expressing it individually, collectively and universally you are expressing a Citizenry of a True Democracy in the Personnel of MY Followers! And when you as individuals are truly independent the universe over, you will be Living Epistles of a True Democracy, seen and read by men, carrying the banner of True Americanism, Democracy, Christianity, Brotherhood and Judaism as Synonymous, and carrying in your hearts and in your lives the true expression of what the symbol of the Flag of the Free really means! Aren't you glad!
"Then Old Glory will be seen in you, in your deeds and in your actions, expressing the Golden Rule in all of your dealings and in every transaction, but controlled and motivated by the Golden Rule and by CHRIST as the Sermon on the Mount depicts it! Aren't you glad!
"By this we shall have a Righteous Government and all nations of the earth eventually shall flow into it, for truly, this is the kind of world in which you would like to live!, A world free from strife! A world free from doubts! A world free from fear, free from all of the prejudices and bigotry that heretofore have existed in this world in which we live, and a world free from racism, inequality, segregation and division! For this is the kind of world, as well as the kind of people of which GOD MADE! Aren't you glad! For it is written,
'Out of One Blood GOD Created All Nations of men for to dwell upon the face of the whole earth!'
"Then these are the kind of people GOD MADE, of every racial and national abstraction, expressing a Real Citizenry of a True Democracy, Brotherhood and of Christianity as Synonymous!
"Therefore, as we stood here today and have been here practically all day, the majority of us, expressing this Citizenry; expressing Brotherhood; expressing Democracy; expressing Americanism; expressing Judaism and expressing Real Christianity as described and depicted in the Gospel and the Epistles, we are happy to say, today, we have something that we are happy to present to the WORLD!
"You have heard many testimonies, but one most specifically and most stressful to be remembered, one declared that I said many years ago that there shall be no lasting Peace until the Prince of Peace, yea, the King of Peace shall have been recognized! They may try to bring about Peace, ignoring the BODY of GOD for which CHRIST died! Can you not see the mystery? They may try to ignore it and think they can obtain this PEACE~~ but I say unto All Nations of the Earth, until they recognize the Prince of PEACE, yea, the KING of PEACE, there will be NO LASTING PEACE!
"For it is written of ME and Millions have declared the same;
'At the Name of GOD every knee must bow and every tongue must confess!'
"For this cause I AM happy to present to you a Sample and an Example of the PEACE that we are talking about, to let you see what will be all over this wide extended plane when all mankind universally shall be United Together and be One Nation, Indivisible, and have Liberty for themselves, Equity and Justice for ALL!"
