'I will preach CHRIST in words, but more so in deeds and in actions, and I will put MY Spirit in them, and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. They will act in deeds and in actions and you will hear MY voice although you may not see MY Personal Appearance. MY sheep hear MY voice, and another they will not follow. It will be as never before.
A Group with FATHER DIVINE
in the Nations' Capitol
You will all hear MY voice sounding over the world, speaking in deeds and in actions, and speaking louder than in words, and MY Statutes will be in the temples of GOD, and GOD will walk in them and all shall see and know GOD from the least of them unto the greatest. That is just a little sketch of a reflection of a percent of a percent of a percent of a percent of a fraction of what will be, reflected today in that particular testimony. Then how says the mortal mind, 'Will HE live?' What can prohibit ME from living when I AM living and walking in MY Statutes? If I would will to disappear in this Individual Appearance I will walk in MY Statutes,
'for ye are the temples of God, and God has said, I will walk with them, and talk in them.'
There is no way for this to be stopped; it must be a continual advancement of this Kingdom from shore to shore and from land to land, and every seeming knock or opposition is but a boost to this Truth. Every condemnation, as would be condemnations, are but praise. Everyone is a praise. So it is Wonderful!
'And he conveyed himself in a multitude and so passed by.'
The pre-evidence of the universal Kingdom of GOD, the united Body of CHRIST, the manifestation of the Body of CHRIST, the Infinite Son of GOD, collectively the Body as many members, but the Infinite Son of GOD.
'He conveyed himself in a multitude of people and so passed by.'
That was the pre-evidence of the Future at that time, of the establishment of this Infinite Kingdom wherein I would put MY Spirit in them, or put MYSELF in them, and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. As I before said, walk in the consciousness of being the temples of GOD, collectively the Body of GOD as being called the Statutes.
Now there are many points of expression, many spirits, inspirations, revelations and compositions, etc., that will come forth out of the great Universal Mind Substance in expression, in rhythm, in harmony, in the inspiration of the Spirit, inspiring and lifting you up and to raise your consciousness to the state wherein you could be at one with GOD in consciousness, and these revelations, inspirations, compositions, poems, songs and psalms, etc., will come forth. But it is that I will be putting MY Spirit in them, and causing them to walk in MY Statutes, the key to all of the hidden mysteries of GOD's understanding in the expression of harmony, Heaven. It will be manifested unto all the world, and as Mr. Lanyon said, in the silence of the human expression, and in the expression of the Truth, conveyed, transmuted and transmitted, will I speak, but in actions louder than words and the mortal consciousness will not hear MY voice in deeds and in actions, but they that are spiritually inclined, MY sheep will hear MY voice and a stranger they will not follow.
MY voice has been sounding from shore to shore and from land to land in deeds and in actions, which as I said, speak louder than words, and MY sheep are hearing MY voice. They are hearing it and they are coming forth to follow in this Truth and I will lead them out. Lead them out of themselves and out of their own statutes and will bring them into the conscious realization of the materialization of GOD as being MY Statutes, MY temples. And they will find green pastures in this wonderful Light of Truth that lighteth up the whole worried a n d brings you back to that state of consciousness or recognition that HE lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Then you will see that it is not strange, it is not a mystery. You will know that it is that which was, that which is and that which is to be continually. Lighting up every man that cometh into the world, and truly might they have said,
'Rise and shine; for thy light has come, and the glory of God is risen upon thee,'
for I will preach CHRIST in deeds and in actions and put MY Spirit in them, and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. For this MY Spirit will light them up as it lighteth up every man that cometh into the world. It is Wonderful, isn't it? It is Wonderful! It is deeper than the depths, higher than the heights, broader than the widths. They go from across the span of time and far out into eternity, but at least across the space of time.
Most any of those simple words like that, the deeper you go into them the greater you will see that they are; the deeper they are, the higher they are. I will put MY Spirit in them and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. I will preach CHRIST in words, that is the first step, but more so in deeds and in actions, and I will put MY Spirit in them, and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. That is the deeds and that is the actions. It is Wonderful! And it will not be strange for you to hear them say, 'I will do this and I will do that,' for MY Spirit and MY Mind controls the world, as you see it in the churches that I have under MY control. That is a pre-evidence of how the whole thought of the human race is controlled by the CHRIST Consciousness expressed in this place by the mystery of HIS reconcealed face.
I will put MY Spirit in them and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. It is Wonderful! Insignificant as I as a Person may seem to be, realize that what I will, must be. As it reads in the composition of the song,
'He rules the world with truth and grace.'
Tell the truth, act the truth and then materialize the truth, until all men will realize the truth - that you are the Living Truth. Act it, tell it and tell it in words, but more so in deeds and actions and let the truth be the Spirit of Truth materialized in your statute. And in and by that,
'I rule the world with truth and with grace, and make the nations prove, the glory of his righteousness, and the wonders of his love'.
It is Wonderful! This love to your hearts or the heart of mankind, is as the switch key to every automobile. It is not merely the key to lock or unlock doors, but it is the key to turn on the current of salvation and turn on the current of life, of all fascinations.
HE controls the hearts of men and the minds of men and subdues nations and brings humanity under the control of the Almighty, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it. And as with one, so with all,
'for in Adam all die,'
and all mankind has to be in one. And if one is controlled by the switch key of this love, of this salvation, yea, even the whole human race is controlled by the selfsame thing.
'How great and marvelous are thy works, 0 God, for great and holy is thy name.'
It is Wonderful! He that conquers his own will, he becomes to be the switch key of the automobile of salvation that moves all of the current of salvation, of the Spirit of Life, existing in all of the nations; greater than he that taketh a city. For his will is the will of man, and his mind is the mind of man and he that masters himself masters many like unto himself, or like unto would-be himself.
So you can see the great essential of conquering the individual. It is more seems to be in one than the human eye can behold. For as all of GOD is in one, so is the world all in one. It is Wonderful! Then if you let GOD rule and reign in you and control you wholeheartedly, you shall receive that power that as the Master said, in the name called Jesus,
'All power is given unto Me in heaven and on earth,'
in the heavenly state of consciousness and on earth, or in earth in the earthly state of expression of things. Then there is no limitation, there is no terror, there is no lack. There is no lack or there is no want, for the Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good, no space is vacant of the fullness thereof, and you realize that then, realizing it so vividly in a material body, you are and have the creative forces of nature within you to materialize that which you visualize, for you are material. You are the begetter, the conceiver and the father-mother of whatsoever you visualize, and you can materialize the idea or the ideals that you visualize vividly enough, for you are the materialized expression of GOD to bring into materialization your conscious realization therein.'

'Human intelligence has gravity, the same as the earth has gravity, and it tends to go so far and then descend. But the Divine Mind transcends all gravitation, it transcends all nations and all expressions of limited degrees mentally and spiritually, and ascends far beyond the bounds of the expression or manifestation of gravitation from a mental, spiritual or material standpoint, and will lift you up in the realm of the Angelic Host that you will be able to ascend to the height of perfection.'
'Now I was talking with some parties yesterday while being away apparently, and the question was brought up about Lindbergh's baby, did I, or was I going to send MY Spirit out to get it for him. He has not written ME in Person, indirectly from a political or legal standpoint of view; indirectly he was attached to the Kingdom. He made his famous flight. How did he make his famous flight? The same as Tunney, the same as Dempsey, the same as all worldwide representatives. When he made that flight this trouble could not come to him. It was impossible for him to have an accident. He did not have an accident in his career until he lowered his vibrations and detached himself from his GOD-given quality and descended to the level of man.
When Lindbergh made his famous flight he was unmarried, he had no girl friends, he did not smoke, he did not drink, he did not even go to dances and destroy his energy in any mortal version of the human pleasures, but he expressed himself as the GOD- given quality of man can always do without being attached to anything but the highest standard of GOD. Tunney said the same thing. Dempsey lost when he married. Jack Johnson lost through his wife. Every man in every expression of life practically, from Samson down, and from Adam down to this present time, they lost their power when they got into mortality to please their mortal tendencies. These are facts and figures that are too historical to be denied. They are too much so, and too much absolute truth. Lindbergh lost. He lost after he married, the same as he never had an accident, no record of an accident. It is a hard saying but yet it is true. It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! Lindbergh lost. Dempsey lost and Tunney took the crown, and then Tunney lost, and Harry Wills, he lost, and all of them lost when they lost their strength. You lose your spiritual energy, you lose your mental energy, and You lose your physical ability. And Harry Wills lost, so they said; he went around like an old man.
So you can see it all the way back and see it from Samson and see it all the way through the sporting world, and then in the political history it verifies the statement. And coming to Lindbergh, he made that famous flight that is a shadow and a type of this spiritual Truth that is going from shore to shore and from land to land, bringing all people together. He went forth as a messenger, linking the nations together as we may term it to be, from a political standpoint of view, and that was a shadow and a type of this Message of Truth, transcending land and sea and gravitation, uniting all people together, mentally and spiritually, but you have to do it alone. You cannot do it in mortality, you cannot do it in materialism or mortality.
Lindbergh made his famous flight, he was not a drinker, he did not have any sweethearts, he did not go to dances, he did not do any of those things, and that was especially stressed on his making his famous flight. Now this trouble came since that. Now how can he expect to be in reality the same? He may be the same in the minds of the people, but in reality he will be a failure as long as he lives in that mortal state that he descended to. I venture to say he could not make that flight again. He had better not try to cross the Atlantic again. His mind would be back here. If he had his wife with him, his mind would be on her, it would be split. He could not express himself in the highest, so naturally he could not do it now that his mind is on his baby and thinking about that. How could he fly well now? But yet, that is the destination of man. Your only propitiation is to transcend the expression of man and rise in the glorious liberty of the sons of GOD and know that you are GOD's child.
That is your highest expression. It is Wonderful! So that is why they fail. If you have ever been attached to any mortal version of the human mind, you must be willing to detach yourself from every mortal version and unify yourself with the Infinite whole, mentally and spiritually.'
The following was FATHER's talk before a large public meeting in New York City. (He had been referred to as of a certain complexion.)
'As far as I AM concerned you cannot see ME. It is written, 'A little while, and ye shall see me no more.' But because I live, ye also live. The wonderful testimony of one of the speakers, that was a wonderful thought, to realize that you must not butt at GOD. You must not criticize, you must not speak against the Holy Ghost. The Word is true. Who knows the color of the wind? The Word says,
' . . the wind bloweth where it listeth, and ye hear the sound thereof, but ye cannot tell whence it cometh, or whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.'
So is every one that is born of GOD.
That is the only thing that I want to knock out. I AM not after anybody, but just error. I came to establish the Kingdom of GOD in the hearts and lives of men. I AM no race, no creed and no color, and I will not tolerate the thought of it. But to knock out even the appearance of it as being any race, creed or color, I have in and on MY staff those that would appear to be of every race. In MY Infinite Kingdom I have those that will appear to be of every race in mortal consciousness. I gather them out from among the tribes of the children of men and I have many in mortal consciousness, those that you would think MY help and servants of every race. And I will have some from every nationality, every appearance of a nationality, just to let you know that I AM no race, I AM no creed and I AM no color. It is Wonderful! So that is why I arose at this particular time, because I do not want that thought to be dropped here. I will have no races, creeds or colors. That abomination has been the ruination of the world and it will be the end of it. But I have called unto you from every tribe and every people, every denomination and every people, every race and every creed and every color, and I will draw them unto ME as though they are ME and I AM them.
I just had to rise to say that at this time. As you think yourselves Methodists, Baptists, Catholics, Christians of all descriptions, I came to gather you into this spiritual understanding. Not that you must follow ME as a Person, it is immaterial to ME, but I came to bring you into this at-one-ment, this CHRIST Consciousness, that you may know that you are one in the Kingdom of GOD, that you may realize that you are no race, or creed, or color, or denomination any more, but that you all are the children of GOD for which CHRIST prayed,
''I pray that they may be one, even as we are one.'
And He said,
'I thank thee Father, that thou hast given me power over all flesh.'
Even the Sonship Degree has power over all flesh. The mission of the Son is power over all flesh and He was not yet glorified. And He said,
'My Father is greater than I,'
and I have filled the earth with the Name of the FATHER, and I have stamped the Name of the FATHER in your foreheads. I have stamped the Name of the FATHER in your foreheads and you are following the Lamb wheresoever He goeth. You are being redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto GOD and the Lamb. And in your mouths is found no guile.
I have sown the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD in the atmosphere and I have germinated the atmosphere with the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD. And I have impregnated the minds of the inhabitants of New York with the Name of GOD in their foreheads. Now aren't you glad? I say I have filled the atmosphere with the Name of your FATHER, and when you breathe you are breathing in joy and peace, life, health and love: when you sing, you are singing in Jesus is CHRIST and CHRIST is GOD. I pray that they may be one, even as He is one; and I came to dissolve them all in the melting pot, and they will be all one. I AM not studying about any race, nor creed, I AM not thinking about any race nor color. You have never seen ME. You think you know MY color. I came to set that old prejudicial seed on fire that has been handed down from ages back and I came to burn it out.
So our GOD is a consuming fire, and I AM burning up every base desire. Every blasphemous desire that desires GOD to be less than what HE is, every low desire that wants GOD to be a race, every desire, every base desire, every low desire that wants GOD to be a color, every desire, every low desire that wants GOD to be a nationality. Our GOD is a consuming fire and HE will burn up every mortal desire. No flesh shall glory in MY sight, no race, nor color shall glory in MY sight. No denominational pride shall glory in MY sight. No national pride shall glory in MY sight. It is Wonderful! I came to make you all one, and one in ME. And I fill and thrill the atmosphere with the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD. And I will stamp the Name of the FATHER upper mostly in your consciousness and I will put you in the spirit of lamblikeness, to be governed by the spirit of meekness and obedience, that you may walk worthy of your vocation wherein you are called, that you may not be entangled again with the yoke of bondage, and that you may be redeemed from among men and that you may not be defiled with women, that you may be virgins in the sight of GOD and all mankind will be able to live as little children.
The lion and the lamb then shall lie down together
'and none shall hurt nor harm in all my holy mountain.'
I AM taking the lion nature from the lion. It is Wonderful! I AM purging you of your former sins, from your inbred sins, purifying you and purging you and making you whole. I AM fixing you so you will not want to hurt nor harm. And then the lion and the lamb can lie down together, and a little child can play on the crocodile's head.
That is a new and living message. I say a little child can play on the crocodile's head. And they all can rejoice for this is a high and a holy way and no ravenous beast can pass this way, for GOD is in the midst of thee, child of Infinite Spirit and Love Divine, purging you of all of your dross of sin, of your prejudicial seed and bigoted seed, and every mortal seed idea that no flesh shall glory in MY sight. No need for any so-called race to try to claim ME. You don't know anything about ME. I don't know anything about your creed, I don't know anything about your color, I don't know anything about your denomination, for where there is division there is strife. The only thing I came for is to bring you all, all denominations, all creeds, all colors, and all people in one, and to dissolve them in the melting pot that there may be no division among you; and I will not be discouraged until I have universalized it as I have accomplished it, and I have the patent right for this Kingdom. I have the patent right for this Kingdom. The only thing I will do is to universalize it now as I have the patent right for the Kingdom, and the copyright for the constitution of it. I have the birthrights for the souls of men.
I have come to the hearts of the children of men, and if anybody asks you why you are following FATHER DIVINE, or REVEREND DIVINE, or whatsoever you choose to call ME, Dear Ones, I did not tell you to call ME FATHER. MY Name, I sign MY Name REVEREND M. J. DIVINE. I never sign MY Name FATHER, and I never tell anyone to call ME FATHER. Even MY own students can tell you that when I answer the phone I say, this is MR. DIVINE talking. But when they ask you why you are following ME, you can declare why you are following ME because I have the key to your hearts. I have the key to your soul and you are walking in the Light of MY Love, and I AM filling and thrilling you with the joy that the world cannot unfold.
Now someone may go on to say, 'Why does HE say that HE is doing that?' Now you are intelligent people even though I may be supposedly the most insignificant of the insignificant. It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! I may be as the most ignorant of the ignorant, however you can say even as I have said, that I AM filling and thrilling your souls with joy, and someone may say, 'How can these things be, what can a man do, how can a man do that?'
Listen! Peace! If you say a man - did not the Christ by the Word as it is recorded, plainly tell them to go into all the world? Did He not say as a man,
'In my name ye shall cast out d - v - ls?'
Did He not say,
'Ye shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover?'
In MY Name! In MY Name! Do you not see the great significance of this mighty Name? Can any man defy this Name? Can any man refute this Name? I know it is Wonderful! 'In my name ye shall cast out d - v - ls . . . ye shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.' In MY Name! In MY Name! In MY Name!
Now is not DIVINE, GOD? Is not that the Name of GOD?
'The name of God is a strong tower: and the righteous run therein, and are saved.'
Aren't you glad? This mighty Holy Name, this Name that charms your fears, this Name that bids your sorrows cease, this Name that is music in the sinner's ears, this Name is health, this Name is peace, this mighty Holy Name! Aren't you glad! In MY Name! In MY Name! In MY Name! And you shall not see HIM until you say,
'Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
'Now aren't you glad? You can see that the Name is a mighty blessing. It is a mighty protection. It is a house of refuge. The Name of GOD is a tower, this mighty Holy Name This mighty Holy Name! This Name that unlocks the prison doors. This Name that rolls away the stone. This Name that dried up your tears. This Name that cast out your fears. This mighty Name! This mighty Name! This mighty Holy Name! This mighty powerful Name! This mighty living
Name! This mighty Name! This mighty Name! This mighty Name! It is Wonderful!
Now we have those of you that are Biblical students, we have those of you that are psychologists; we have those of you that are theologists, professors of colleges and men from all walks of life. We know what that name means. Now the word name is nature. The word name in Hebrew is nature. This mighty Nature, this mighty holy Nature. I have impregnated your souls with the Nature of GOD, with the mighty Name of GOD, with the Name of your FATHER, with the Nature of your FATHER in your foreheads. That is why I said, it is Wonderful, that is why I said that I will preach CHRIST in words, but more so in deeds and in actions, and I will put MY Spirit in them, and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. This mighty Holy Name! I will put MY Name in your foreheads. I will put MY Nature in your system and you will realize that you are the temples of GOD, 'and God has said, I will walk in them.' This mighty Holy Name! This mighty Holy Name!
You will breathe in this Name, you will breathe in this Nature, This mighty Holy Name, the Name of your FATHER in your forehead, the Nature of your FATHER in your system, and will cause you to walk in MY Statutes. And I will not tell you, touch not, taste not, but MY Spirit, MY Name, MY Nature being in you, you will not want to touch, you will not have the desire to taste, you will not have the desire to handle; you will realize that this mighty Name will make you as youthful as I AM. This mighty Name! This mighty Name! But you must cast Gut of your system all prejudice, all bigotry, all resentment, all jealousy, all hatred, and denomination, all creed, all races, all nations and all colors and establish in your consciousness this mighty Holy Name. This mighty Holy Name! And you will be even also as I AM. You will be redeemed from among men and you will not be defiled with women for you will be virgins. Now I will not have to tell you, don't do this or don't do that, it is by MY Spirit says the LORD.
'Not by power, nor by might, but by my spirit, says the LORD.'
I will put my spirit in you, and I will cause you to walk in my statutes for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. It is Wonderful! Now it is Wonderful!
Now again I would like to say, I know no race, no creed nor color. It is abomination in MY sight. I came to break down the wall or partition between races, creeds and colors, and break down that very thought in your consciousness, if you are some race, if you are some color, if you are some denomination, and to bring you all in one in answer to your Savior's prayer,
'Sanctify them through thy word: thy word is truth.'
I have a little card here. It says something on it about some kind of people. Now if you don't get out of that abomination, you are going to - whatever you think you have. I have no people, I have no race, I have no creeds, I have no colors. I came to make you all one, to bless all the same, and as I said before, those that would seem to be of a different race, different creeds and different colors, I will have them all on MY staff and there shall be no division in MY Kingdom, and those that are unwilling to do that, I will cut them off. All must be one! Cast that old prejudicial seed out of your system, out of your consciousness, out of your whole world and live in the world that I AM living in, in the presence of the Holy Angels and in the Presence of the Lamb. It is Wonderful! For you know you never felt such a love before. I have no limitations. Where I AM is no gravitation. You can see that. Where I AM is no gravitation. I can go where you are, wheresoever you are. There is no limitation, there is no denomination, there is no race, no creed nor color, there is no abomination in this Kingdom of MINE, for I have the patent right to this Kingdom and I will universalize it, and there is no other foundation any other man can lay, for this Foundation has been laid and anyone that tries to reject this will go under. Now aren't you glad? Aren't you glad?
Aren't you thankful for MY Spirit? I will put MY Spirit in them and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. For actions speak louder than words, and I will speak more in actions and in deeds.
'And I will put my spirit in them, and I will cause them to walk in my statutes . . . for it is not by power, nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the LORD.'
And that is what all this is about.
Now you all are happy, aren't you? It is Wonderful! You never were so happy before, were you? Now if you all don't want MY blessings, just say so. If you don't want MY Spirit, say so. If you don't want MY Spirit, say so. Wonderful! If you want ME to live in you, say so. (Chorus of 'Yes'.) If you want ME to reign in you, say so. If you want ME to rule in you, say so.
'He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
And the wonders of his love.'
Now aren't you glad? This mighty Love! This mighty Love! This mighty Love!
Now what did you all make ME say so much for? (Chorus of 'Say more, say more'.) This is going forth like a contagious disease. As I said, I will fill the air! I will fill it with MY Spirit and when they breathe they are breathing it in. The little babies that are coming up from the cradle now, they shall breathe in MY Spirit, they shall breathe in my Mind. They are breathing in MY thought. I will fill the atmosphere with hallelujahs. I will fill it with this Love and fill it with this understanding. And all nations shall know that GOD is in the land, for the very atmosphere is pregnant with the Name of GOD. Now aren't you glad? Now if you don't want MY Spirit, just say so. Those that don't want MY Spirit, just say so. (Cheers, cheers) -Take these thoughts in, Dear Ones, and realize that I will and I have put MY Spirit in them and I AM causing them to walk in MY Statutes. And the Spirit of the Consciousness of the Presence of GOD will prove to you that it is the source of all supply. I will prove it to you that it will satisfy every good desire. And you will enjoy the Abundance 'of the Fullness of the Consciousness of GOD, and you will realize that no space is vacant of the fullness thereof, for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.'
'This Table is but the outer expression of the condition of the mind within. It is the outpicturing which shows what I have in storehouse for the souls of men.'
'Don't you see, this is for the bodies, but this is the outer expression of the mind within. It is the outpicturing of the condition of the mind within of that which I have in storehouse for the souls of men. You see it is Wonderful, because it is. The material is but a shadow and a type of the real, don't you see. But as long as you walk in the beautiful sunlight you will always have a shadow. As soon as you get out of the sunlight you lose your shadow; as soon as you get in the shade you leave your shadow outside. So as long as we walk in the light we have food, we have raiment, we have everything necessary for the sustenance of the body, the soul and all combined. Hardships and depressions and lacks and wants come through the limited expression of good in the consciousness of the children of men. It is Wonderful! It is Wonderful! Because we have limitless expressions of good.'
'These words will be sometime esteemed by the coming generation as they are handed down from ages to ages, as well as those spoken by the prophet of GOD.'
'One of MY most recent composed mottoes is: I will preach CHRIST in words, but more so in deeds and in actions and I will put MY Spirit it in them, and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. Now I will preach CHRIST more so in deeds often in actions because that is the way. Action speak louder than words and deeds often speak louder than actions, but I will put MY Spirit by so doing in them, and cause them to walk in MY Statutes. Those that come in contact with ME and rightfully contact ME mentally and spiritually, they don't even want to smoke a cigarette because I will cause them to walk in MY Statutes, much less want to drink anything stronger than coffee. I will put MY Spirit in them. If they are drinkers they don't want to get drunk any more. It is Wonderful!
Here the other Sunday, it was two robbers came up and confessed, confessed what they had been doing, stealing cars, breaking into people 5 houses, stealing everything. And the next week they came there, and one of them, you would not have known him because he got sure enough converted, and he brought his mother and his wife. He was a different man altogether. The other one, he confessed, but he did not get converted like this one. He was changed also. When they brought him to ME on the Sunday, before, he had been drinking and was under the:' influence of liquor. But he confessed, and he hollered it out and he was upstairs and then he went downstairs and got up there with all the other Angels. So I will continue to preach CHRIST, but more so in deeds and in actions, and I will put MY Spirit in them, and cause them, to walk in MY Statutes. I will fix them so they will not want to be wrong, not even to smoke a cigarette. MY Spirit will not even want to, smoke a cigarette, and will not even want to, drink anything stronger than coffee. When you confess and forsake your sins nobody can touch you.'
This talk was given in reply to several inquiries on the part of visitors as to what FATHER in tended to do, about finding the Lindbergh baby that had been kidnapped and was being sought all over the country:
'I imagine that the suffering of the Lindbergh child is not any more severe than that of thousands of others. Why is it that you, who claim to know the Truth, would stress the saving of the Lindbergh child any more than some other child.
'All souls are mine, says the LORD,'
and GOD does not will to see any of HIS little ones perish. But still it seems to be something that rules the human mind and that which has conscious dominion over the human mind; it seems to be human affection and the mortal version of things and not discerning that the Lindbergh child is no better in the sight of GOD than the Cain child and I mean the family, the six children, husband and wife that were dispossessed a few years ago since I have been here, and their picture was in the paper. They were poor people, did not have any money and the husband was sick, and had lost one eye on the job and he had been down for such a length of time, and it was not much said about that; now there were six children there. Now why would I especially concern MYSELF any more about the Lindbergh child any more than I do about all children. I mean the Love of GOD, the Spirit and the Life of the CHRIST.
If Lindbergh contacts ME why he can be helped the same as anybody else. The whole world is concerned, and they that are of the world mind, they that are subject to that mortal version of the human mind, that influence, that stresses them more than anything else. Yet several called ME LIP and asked ME to do it and I said, if he wishes to contact ME, if he has faith, then maybe the child can be found. The Spirit would search and the Spirit would arouse the ones that have it in some way; contact the heart like I contacted the heart of the superintendent of the insane asylum. Of course, I know that the mortal mind feels that way about it, the human mind feels that, 'It is Lindbergh. It is Lindbergh.'
At this point one of the students concerned, said she had not advocated FATHER to Lindbergh for the baby's sake especially, but that the fame of FATHER's Name might be spread abroad. She had communicated with a close friend of Mrs. Lindbergh who had promised to urge Mrs. Lindbergh to call on FATHER. FATHER replied:
'Maybe it is not that the Work of GOD is to be manifested through him. It is being manifested through you, and Mr. Johnson, (one who has recently been released from prison by FATHER), and in many others. So many are interested in getting the child in order to get the money. If Lindbergh would have particularly called ME up and wanted ME to come over and talk with him, I say if he would have done it the same as this man in Patchogue, and if I could not have gone, I would have told him to come to the church, Rush Memorial, as I have with others; then I would have contact with him and MY Spirit could have, through his faith, reached the child and made it be so that the child would be returned in some way. Then if he had offered ME fifty thousand dollars, I would not have taken it. I would just have helped them; he is no more to ME. I would not be interested in the money. We want to do good without any thought of return, in our way, see, in our way.'
