This glorious Sermon given by FATHER, conveys to the world at large the scope of this Righteous Work and Mission, and how, universally, it is spreading and contagionizing the nations of the earth as well as each individual it reaches.
Read our Lord's wonderful Words of Spirit and Life, and you too, will see that His Holy Spirit is doing a mighty Work in that HE has started the Pendulum of Equilibrium swinging in the defense of all people, that all people might enjoy the Same Rights and the same blessings and privileges, the universe over, under the Fatherhood of GOD!
Truly, this is GOD'S Administration and HE it is that is bringing about the universality of a Righteous Government on this earth plane. Thank YOU, O Righteous Redeemer!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which is firstly recorded the inspirational composition sung just before FATHER arose to speak.)
FATHER DIVINE has converted Uncle Sam to carry His Message along,
The Constitution and its Amendments.
And FATHER DIVINE'S Righteous Government Platform!
Uncle Sam shall go stepping from continent to continent,
Evangelizing the world with Unity and with Peace;
Every nation shall eventually fall in line; inhuman warfare shall be left behind!
Uncle Sam shall teach the nations their ABC's,
Americanism, Evangelism, the Fatherhood of GOD
Shall be lived by every nation on earth!
(FATHER speaks as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! That little composition calls for an explanation to those who are not acquainted with it. It may sound somewhat radical and as though fanatical to hear the adherents, here, sing that Uncle Sam has been converted. 'FATHER DIVINE converted Uncle Sam to carry His Message along' yea, to carry His Message abroad! The very wording of that song is the personal knowledge and experience of you all!
For many, many years My true followers had been paying back all of their old back bills and righting their wrongs wherein they had wronged any and every man, until that time came when those of the followers could not find or locate those who had loaned them money and given them money; those of whom they were indebted to. By instruction and advice of your Humble Servant they were advised to give it to the United States Treasury! ('So true!' came the sanction from the congregation.)
Uncle Sam has received hundreds and hundreds, yea, thousands and thousands and untold millions of dollars, by those of My followers who have been converted and desired to pay all of their just debts; the debts that were outlawed by the statute of limitation. Yet they were required and they desired to pay those debts, and I said, 'If you cannot find the credit debtors to whom it is, or they are due you may pay or give it to some worthy charity.' The United States Treasury was selling bonds then, and before that time; but I considered that as Uncle Sam could use the money for national defense and for Peace, they gave it to Uncle Sam, and adjusted matters satisfactorily and righted their wrongs! Something like Zacchaeus, one of whom saw Jesus coming and when he saw Jesus coming, he ran and climbed up the sycamore tree and said,
'If I have wronged any man by false accusation, I will repay him fourfold, and all of my goods I have I will give to the poor!'
He desired to do the right thing, after he had got converted, by the presence
of Jesus. The same Spirit has spoken once, yea, twice and it speaks again! (Loud
applause resounds.) It is doing the very Same! It is going back, paying back
all of its back bills and adjusting matters satisfactorily for the good of all
humanity, and will not allow themselves to owe a dime! ('So glad!' exclaims the
joyous assembly in one accord.) And if they find a nickel or a dime, even, in
the street, they will advertise it to see if it is any possible means of reaching
the one who lost the dime.
I have created Honesty in the land! I have established your going in the midst of the children of men. I have changed the nature and characteristics and disposition of them, and I have shown them the way to go, as a sample and as an example for others!
The sample and the example was also for Uncle Sam! Not until this was publicly publicized universally the Spirit of Honesty, Competence and Truth that My following had exerted through the land in paying all of their back bills Uncle Sam got Converted just as we say he did FATHER indicates the picture of Uncle Sam and went back to pay his (bills)! (Loud applause rings out.)
You have never heard of Uncle Sam going back to pay the Indians money, of which he was in authority not to pay and no one could have made him pay it, saving by this righteousness I have exerted in the midst of the children of men! ('So true, Lord!' exclaimed the congregation.)
Therefore, as with an individual that is truly converted, so it is with him, and 'As with an individual, so with a nation, and as with a nation, so with all nations combined!' Aren't you glad! ('Oh, yes, so glad!' came the reply.) Uncle Sam has been converted and he has gone back to pay all of his old back bills! (Loud applause rings out.)
In one tribe of the Indians, several years ago, after Uncle Sam knew of My Work and Mission converting individuals, he went back and paid the Indians one tribe, I believe it was eighty-one million and some hundred thousand dollars! Another tribe, of a later date, the Colorado Tribe, he paid thirty-one million and eight hundred thousand! Since that time we have records, by statistics, that he has gone about to pay those of the Indians in Australia, pardon ME, in San Francisco those who were going to try to get the gold that was there, or something of that sort the statistics bear somewhat record of it. Aren't you glad! ('So glad!' came the reply.) Recently we have a record where he paid them some thirty-two million! Aren't you glad! ('Yes, so glad, Lord!' exclaimed the happy assembly.)
So, GOD deals in the affairs of men and none can slightly hinder Him, for as I said in that Message as described and depicted in the Stamp as the gist of My Message I sent to the nations, I have started the Pendulum of Equilibrium swinging in the defense of all people! Aren't you glad! ('So glad, Lord!' replied the congregation.) Therefore, it is not confined to Uncle Sam alone but Uncle Sam truly got converted, and there you see him stepping from shore to shore, (FATHER turns and indicates the picture of Uncle Sam on the wall.) carrying the Message of Democracy, Brotherhood and Christianity, just as we sing it; recognizing the universality of Democracy, Christianity, Brotherhood, Judaism, Buddhism as synonymous when these Fundamental Principles of religion are lived honestly. Aren't you glad! ('So glad, GOD Almighty!' declared the entire congregation.)
So then we have stepped over in Australia. Where I mentioned Australia before the time, in speaking of California a little while ago, I was thinking so vividly of the Aborigines in Australia those of whom had been under-privileged and non-privileged, from the days of yore the original Australians. They were not privileged to register and vote and have the right of their franchise until I got in the midst of them! (Applause rings out.) Now they can register and vote, and vote the same as we can here in America, even though they were the original Australians! ('So glad!' exclaimed the joyful congregation.)
So then I say, it is something to consider. The Pendulum of Equilibrium I AM swinging in the defense of this people. (Loud applause.)
The Maoris in New Zealand, they have their right of franchise! It shows you, GOD is dealing in the affairs of men and none can hinder Him! ('So true!' declared the joyful assembly.) Yet it is not anything I have done, nor AM doing, as a Person, to bring these objects about, but they are being brought about. Aren't you glad! ('Yes, so glad, Lord!'exclaimed the assembly.)
We realize also, more recently, the Jews, as a nation or nationality commonly called a race are being compensated with just compensation some thirty-two million for the Nazi regime and Hitler, had robbed them of their possessions. Aren't you glad! (Yes, so glad!' came the immediate reply.) Now in Israel, or Palestine, they are being compensated, because the Pendulum of Equilibrium is swinging in the defense of this people and in the defense of All peoples universally! ('So glad!' sanctioned the assembly in one accord.)
So then I say, GOD deals in the affairs of men! And when you hear My following talking, seemingly fanatically and radically about FATHER DIVINE being GOD PERSONIFIED, I will not allow My Name among the children of men to be in vain! (Thunderous applause and cheers fill the air.)
Therefore, truly, FATHER DIVINE has converted Uncle Sam, and is converting all nations, languages, tongues and people, for
'As with an individual, so with a nation; and as with a nation, so with all nations combined!'
GOD is dealing in the affairs of men and none shall slightly hinder Him, for
HE has declared prophetically, 'the government shall be upon his shoulder!' It
could have been said, 'The Governments' Universally, if HE would have chosen
to have spoken it plurally and made it plural,
'The governments shall be upon his shoulder!'
For GOD deals in the affairs of men, and all Government must recognize Him from
shore to shore and from land to land, with or without His Bodily Form! His Bodily
Form will not do it. I will not do anything as a Person; I will do it by My Spirit,
as it is predicted and declared. Aren't you glad! ('So glad!' came the prompt
reply.) It is predicted and declared,
'It is not by might nor by power but by MY Spirit, says the LORD GOD of hosts!'
Therefore, by My Spirit I AM doing it for others, and I AM also doing it for
you! I thank you!
