FATHER DIVINE Said:
"...when William Penn and others came to this Country seeking religious liberty, as so to speak, they came with the same inner urge as we; but I have Come to fulfill his wishes and bring it about 100 percent from A to Z.
"It is a wonderful place to live, is it not? Commonly known as the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, the Cradle of Democracy, and now I have made it the Country Seat of the World (Aren't you glad!) Where the children of men will say,
'Let us go up to the mount of the house of the LORD...that He might teach us of His ways'for the Law shall go from somewhere. Aren't you glad! Read it for yourselves! And they shall be taught and shall live by this law~~where there will be no more uprisings among the people, no more race riots, no more lynchings, for the Blood of Jesus Christ paid it all.
"We are assembled here as a matter of course, but at this particular instance, as this day was set apart for the Dedication and for the Consecration of the Mount of the House of the LORD, Believe ME or believe ME not; we shall express it and all nations shall see it; for truly, this is the Country and this is the City in which the Declaration of Independence was drafted and was signed. Aren't you glad!
"And this is the City and this is the Country in which the Constitution and its Amendments were drafted. Aren't you glad! Now, we shall live our Constitution continually and we shall continue to enact the Bill of Rights. We shall establish Democracy from shore to shore for we shall be universally the personification of both it and them. Aren't you glad! Then I say, we are Real True Americans and Americans 100 percent."
