"It is Something to Consider When You Think of at Least 600 of the Coast Guard
Being Daily Accommodated
All Last Winter and Will Have Accommodation for the Duration with the Best
Of Comfort and Convenience."

"I Came to Give Your Conscience Peace! I Came to Free You in Heart And Mind,
to Set Your Conscience
Free From Vice And From Crime And From Sin And Debauchery" --- FATHER DIVINE

Our FATHERS Message Given Whilst At The Holy Communion Table of The Circle Mission Church of Philadelphia,
764-772 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
Thursday Evening, October 7, 1943 A.D.F.D., Time: 11:45 P.M.

 



MOTHER DIVINE at the Table,
Brigantine Hotel, Brigantine, N.J.

MOTHER DIVINE at the Table, Brigantine Hotel, Brigantine, N.J.

 

The singing of the beautiful inspirationic patriotic composition concerning the United States Coast Guards being very comfortable in the Church on Brigantine Island, that Church down by the Sea, prompted our Loving SAVIOR to arise and give this truly glorious Message.

In this wonderful Lecture FATHER not only speaks of the comfort and convenience enjoyed by the Coast Guards of all complexions, though the Church granting them the privilege of using the Brigantine Hotel, rent free, but our LORD also stresses the universalization of this New Birth of Freedom, under GOD, throughout the entire earth plane!-a Freedom that no man could give!

Read HIS Wonderful Words on this and other subjects, and gain greater enlightenment on this Glorious Work and Mission that is spreading Righteousness, Justice, Truth, Peace, Joy and Happiness wherever it goes!

BLESSED REDEEMER, WE TRULY THANK THEE!

(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which is recorded firstly the song sung just before FATHER arose to speak.)

This Church on Brigantine Island
Is dedicated to democracy;
It's a blessing from our FATHER,
The Church down by the sea.
It stands as a monument
To all the critics that be;
But the Coast Guards are very comfortable
In the Church down by the sea!

(FATHER speaks as follows:)

PEACE, EVERYONE: Good Health, Good Will, a Good Appetite, with good Manners, Good Behavior, All Success and All Prosperity; Life, Liberty and the Reality of Happiness; these and all other Blessings, for we have them!

At this particular instance I have arisen to stress that thought that that composition conveys and what it says:

'The Church on Brigantine Island
Is dedicated to democracy;
It's a blessing from your FATHER
That Church down by the sea!'

It is something to consider when you think of at least six hundred being daily accommodated all last Winter and will have accommodation for the duration, with the best of comfort and convenience, when they did not have such comfort and convenience saving by your HUMBLE SERVANT. We do not regret making a sacrifice to that end, for what says our constitutional document concerning the mystery?

'We sacrifice our sacred honor!'

Aren't you glad!

That was one of the most sacred valuable material honors that could be given. I doubt whether there is any other Church blessed with such facilities and such accommodation for recreation and for convalescing and for the comfort and the convenience! Oh, it is something to consider-the necessary comfort and convenience with even salt water in every bathroom coming up from the sea, Winter or Summer!

 

Brigantine Hotel Is Dedicated To Democracy

Then I say, it is dedicated to democracy, and the Coast Guard, they are very comfortable in that Church down by the sea! Not only so, but the Followers of MINE have gone so far as to offer the government upwards of two thousand acres of land-a good part of it, a great part, whichever, the most part of it good tillable land-as well as that which they gave the government absolutely gratis as the Church on Brigantine Island for the duration! In these properties in Ulster County and West chester County and Suffolk County, New York State, including New York County and Queens County, they could readily accommodate some twenty-five hundred to three thousand or four thousand personnel comfortably, as well as those on Brigantine Island in the Church down by the sea.

It causes you to rejoice when you know you have fulfilled a patriotic duty, a humane act, for it is GOD HIMSELF by HIS Holy Spirit that motivated it! Then you need not worry about what anyone says. You can see you have not fallen short of anything that life demands because of trying to carry .out MY Wishes and MY Good Pleasure for you to be Patriotic and Real Humane Actors as doing a Humane Act for the Government in the housing of its personnel!

Oh, how glorious it is to live in such a Recognition to build upon a Foundation as this one!-and when you see the Blessings coming in return, you do not have an occasion to regret a thing! Aren't you glad!

There are many thing I could speak of tonight at this particular instance; what GOD has done for this people and what GOD is actually doing for them, but, RIGHTEOUSNESS MARCHES ON! This is not merely a saying as a fairy tale in these columns under "Righteousness! -Marches on!" in The NEW DAY, telling of bills that were paid and money that has been turned in to the treasury of the government without any obligation or without any legal right to do so. These are not sayings as a formula merely to be rehearsed, but these articles, every one, every correspondence, even though they are no longer published in facsimile, they can be seen upon request.

 

A Standard Lifted Beyond Criticism

Oh, how glorious it is to live in such a Recognition, where your morale I have actually lifted, and I cause you to keep your morale lifted to a Standard that cannot be critical, where the criticizers could not criticize it! They could not criticize anything like this, could they?-whilst thousands and thousand are starving there, and we are enjoying the Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good and find no space vacant of the Fullness thereof All government shall eventually develop into it, for it shall envelop the universe of the earth plane! Aren't you glad! And those who live in the Consciousness of GOD'S Actual Presence and imbibe MY Spirit and MY Mind and live them shall reproduce the Nature and the Characteristics of your SAVIOR and express MY Attributes as depicted. Aren't you glad!

You know, I depict MY Attributes-in other words, I rehearse them in the conclusion of MY Letters of Correspondence; but realize the Attributes and the Characteristics of GOD, they are transmittable, they are reproducible and reincarnatable and re-personifiable as long as you live and harmonize with them by imbibing the Spirit and the Meaning of them and become to be susceptive to the vibrations and the inspirations I AM demonstrating.

'The thing you vividly visualize you tend to materialize.'

Isn't it glorious? It is a privilege to have Something to look upon, to gaze upon vividly, conscientiously and sincerely when it is uplifting. Aren't you glad! Something that is not putting you down in the ruts and mirks and mires of human superstition but Something that is actually uplifting, educating and scientific and instructing you of the highest order of life exemplified on the, material plane!

 

Living Epistles of Real Democracy

Then I say, let us live it and express it and continue to imbibe it through harmonizing with it, and you as Living Epistles of a Real Democracy, will go forth in the land collectively and universally as E Pluribus Unum. No longer omnifariously we shall live, but in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose I bring you all together and you shall live Unison. I have broken that line of demarcation and I have set the prisoner free! Aren't you glad! I have given this New Birth to millions; it is the birth of which Abraham Lincoln mentioned,

'...that this whole nation under GOD might have a New birth of Freedom!'

Aren't you glad! Then I say, let us live in this Recognition, for this New Birth of Freedom is for one and all. All can be partakers of the selfsame Birth, for GOD is the only One Who can give you this New Birth of freedom! Abraham Lincoln mentioned it but he could not give it. It is evidently known he could not give it when he said,

'...that this whole nation might have a New Birth of Freedom under GOD!'

He tried to free the slaveric people, tried by the Army and the Navy and by all of the political and legal authority vested under him or in him, yet he could not give them the Real Freedom! And even when the Emancipation was declared it was not this freedom that I AM giving (Aren't you glad!), for it was only an abstract outward expression of a national political freedom and yet it was not a Real Freedom such as GOD HIMSELF will give you-a REAL EMANCIPATION!

 

The Atlantic Charter Cannot Give This Freedom

The Atlantic Charter as drafted by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, they mentioned a Freedom-yes, four of them, but they could not give you the Freedom that I AM giving you! I heard one say by composition down in Christendom,

'Not all the blood of beasts
On Judah's altars slain,
Could give your guilty conscience peace
Nor wash away the stain!'

Even the blood of sacrifices that were made in the days of old, of spotless lambs and pigeons and doves, could not give them Peace!

'Not all the blood of beasts
On Judah's altars slain,
Could give your guilty conscience peace
Nor Wash away the stain!"
'But CHRIST, the Heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;
The sacrifice of a nobler Name
And richer Blood than they!'

I Came to give your conscience Peace! I Came to free you in heart and in mind, to set your conscience free from vice and from crime and from sin and debauchery, and from the condemnation of such debaucherated crimes you committed!-to set your conscience free from all of the condemnation of your conviction wherewith you have been convicted under sin by failing to do that which is Just and Right and Pure and Clean! Aren't you glad!

GOD is your REAL EMANCIPATOR, your REDEEMER and your SAVIOR; therefore, GOD is the One Who can lift you from every undesirable condition, for your conscience within can have this New Birth of Freedom! I AM giving MILLIONS their REAL FREEDOM in consciousness, and in their conscience as well as in consciousness!

 

A Free Conscience

Live in this Recognition, build upon this Foundation, and when your conscience is clear and free from condemnation you can look every man in the face without the slightest fear of condemnation or contradiction of your religious conviction! You need not fear someone contradicting your religious convictions. When your conscience shall have been cleansed and purged completely from A debauchery, from all falsity, from all immorality and from a disease, your conscience then is indeed FREE and it is FREE indeed! Then you can say,

'I am free, I am free, I am free indeed;
I am free as a bird to the tree!'

So this Emancipation that I Came to give you, I Came to free you from all sin and from all condemnation, and when your conscience is free from all sin and from all condemnation, then you know you are not guilty of doing anything wrong when you have been forgiven. When you are free completely you can look every man in the face and will not fear one contradicting your religious convictions, for you are pure without and pure within and your heart internally is not condemned!

I need not say more, but I Came to free you from everything that man cannot free you from-, everything you desire to be freed from that is wrong; free you from all hurt, from all harm and from all danger and from all wrong and accusation and condemnation that has befallen you! Then you have that which men cannot give you; not only you, but they cannot give it to anyone else!

 

Meaning Of Adamic

To be free from segregation, free from racialism, isn't it a wonderful Blessing? Free from mortal humanic -in other words, Adamic mortal condemnation and all of the Adamic prejudices handed .down through the ages; free from all those things; in other words, the Adamic! Some may not understand and may think I AM, what they call, cursing and using profanity when I say Adamic. That means the Adam-ic- it is Adam-ated; Adam-ic, because it is the nature and the characteristics of Adam, pertaining to the Adam life instead of the CHRIST Life!

Then I Came to free you from all of those prenataled influences and all tradition and all orthodoxy that is detrimental and not according to a true Democracy! I Came to free you from all those things and set the prisoner FREE!

Then I say to you who have perceived the Truth as exemplified to you and have received the Message as I gave it to you,

'Go in Peace and sin no more!'

I thank you.
