A vast assembly of Followers, Members, visiting friends, strangers and well-wishers were present on this festive occasion and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves indoors and outdoors. Especially, however, did they express their keenest pleasure and delight when, during one of the Holy Communion Services our BELOVED LORD and HIS SPOTLESS VIRGIN BRIDE both spoke!
FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE serving Holy Communion ------ Enjoying the Outdoors --- at the Pinebrook Hotel
The Holy Communion Hall was radiant with the Holy Atmosphere which emanated from the HOLY BRIDEGROOM and HIS SPOTLESS VIRGIN BRIDE! And the decorations fitted in harmoniously with the regality of the occasion—there being a pillared archway behind FATHER and MOTHER, topped with a symbol depicting the Crown of Glory which was predestined to appear ages ago. Birds and flowers here and there added to the beauty and color. However nothing could portray the Regal Beauty and Radiant Holiness and Virginity of THEIR MAGESTIES, the KING and QUEEN of the UNIVERSE!
FATHER'S glorious Sermon on this occasion, followed by MOTHER'S inspiring Words of Spirit and Life, thrilled the hearts and souls of all who listened to them! Without further ado, read for yourselves these Life Giving Thoughts for consideration and imbibe them now, henceforth and forever! If the world would but take heed to FATHER'S and MOHER'S Words as herein recorded, Universal Brotherhood and Peace would become a Reality here and now and mankind would become cognizant of GOD'S GREAT LOVE that knows no bounds; Yea the Real and True Universal Love which was consummated in HIS HOLY VIRTUOUS MARRIAGE to HIS SPOTLESS VIRGIN BRIDE! — and which all are partakers of who will but do HIS Will and live this Holy Life! Thank YOU, Almighty GOD!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER speaks as follows:)
Peace, Everyone: Good Health, Good Will, a Good Appetite; Good Manners, Good Behavior, All Success and All Prosperity; Life, Liberty, and the Reality of Happiness! All of these blessings are freely given if you will but accept of them!
At this particular instance I have arisen not so much to speak, as I have long since declared,
"I will preach Christ in Words, but more so in deeds and in actions, and I will put MY Spirit in the people and will cause them to walk in MY Statutes!"
You can see the outward expression of a sketch and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain, of a percent of a fraction of a grain of what I AM actually doing Universally, as I have caused these — MY Following — to walk in MY Statutes automatically. I AM Universalizing such an expression, of which is more so in Deeds and in Actions, than I could tell you in Words spoken orally!
For this cause I will let you think among yourselves. I will let you analyze this vast audience and look over this vast audience and see these, many of whom were filled with vice and crime and sin and debauchery of every kind; but by MY SPIRIT they are Transformed by the renewing of their minds! ("So true, LORD!"declared the vast congregation joyously.)
Not a true follower of MINE under the sound of MY Voice, or any other place, would be on the dole or taking the relief roll, unless it was an extreme emergency; and that will not come so long as you live exactly according to MY Teaching! That is number one for your consideration!
I have long since declared not a Follower of MINE is on the relief roll! Not a Follower of MINE is going around taking the dole, for they do not try to get something for nothing! They do not try to rob the city, state or federal government without giving some practical service, as employment, for whatsoever they receive of them! (Thunderous applause resounds.)
Again I wish to say: a True Follower of MINE does not go around soliciting and begging! True followers of MINE will not try to get donations, love offerings, or anything of that sort!("So true, GOD ALMIGHTY!" sanctions the vast congregation emphatically.)
My attention was called to the fact, just today, where one working, earning around about twelve dollars a day, and she said to her employer, "I will not receive pay for the days that I do not work; the holidays!" They said to her, "What? — do you give all your money to FATHER?" How is she going to have any money if she lives according to MY Teaching? As far as that is concerned, every day she or anyone would earn twelve dollars a day and refuse to receive their pay when they are not working —when they are not giving service for that pay —why that does not look like they are giving it to ME! —it looks more like they are giving it to the employer! It is Wonderful! ("Truly Wonderful, Lord," exclaimed the entire assembly.)
So then I say, it is a marvelous Work to behold; the unfoldment of MY Work and MY Mission in the hearts and lives of the people; and not only here but universally! They do not take gifts and tips and presents. That is in violation of the teaching of the Holy Bible!
For this cause we can express a real citizenry of a true democracy of Americanism, Christianity, Judaism and Democracy as synonymous; exactly according to the Bible! Aren't you glad! ("Oh, so glad, LORD!" exclaimed the adoring Congregation.) And expressing such a citizenry, we can declare we are Real, True Americans! Aren't you glad! ("So glad!" again came the reply.) and even Americanizing and Propagating Americanism, Democracy, Brotherhood and Christianity and True Judaism in all other nations! Aren't you glad! ("Yes, so glad, LORD!" declared the joyous assembly in unison.)
For this cause we can say we ar real true Americans —not races , colors nor creeds! This true American-ship of Democracy we preach in Works, in Ways and in Deeds! (Thunderous applause resounds.)
To express your Citizenry as a real American, in MY humble Opinion, I do not believe you could express a citizenry of Americanism if you did not express your individual independence, even as our Country declared Her Independence as a nation! Aren't you glad! ("Yes, so glad, GOD ALMIGHTY!" declared the entire Congregation.)
For this cause we are rejoicing and we are happy to present to the world over and over again universally, a slight sketch and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain of a percent of what I AM actually doing in the hearts and lives of men! This is not only done among those who are called Followers of MINE, but I AM changing the tides of governmental affairs! I AM causing them to think and act differently; because when I Preach Americanism, Democracy and Judaism as Synonymous , I AM impregnating the minds of the nations with the Fundamentals of these great bodies of humanity! Aren't you glad! ("So glad LORD!" exclaimed the happy assembly.)
For this cause we do rejoice and we are happy to say, I have and AM this day commemorating the Marriage of MYSELF to MY SPOTLESS Virgin BRIDE! —having a gathering from all parts of the world, to observe and to see that SHE is just as devoted to ME as SHE was five years ago, April the twenty-ninth, sitting by MY side! Aren't you glad! ("Oh, yes, yes! So glad LORD!" exclaimed the adoring Congregation.) As many have endeavored to carry out the rumors as though WE were separated; to ME SHE is the same as SHE was the day SHE first stood by MY Side! —and today WE are calling all nations of the earth to come and see! "Come up higher!" I will show you the mystery that has been spoken of so much! And I AM revealing it more explicitly, for you can behold the Reincarnation and Reproduction and even the Personification of Virtue expressed in those in whom and with whom and to whom we are propagating Virtue, Honesty, Competence and Truth! These qualities, by concentrating and by living according to same, they all are willing to and they actually do reproduce! (Thunderous applause and cheers resound.)
I need not say more at this particular instance as there are many no doubt, of whom would like to have a word to say; but since the time seems to be quite well expired, many of our visiting guests and others, no doubt, desire to return home and retire; I must refrain from speaking although if MOTHER DIVINE desires to say a word in the Commemoration of HER Marriage to ONE of WHOM SHE has declared —ONE of WHOM thousands of you all have declared —(Thunderous applause and voices exclaiming "GOD!" come forth from the vast assembly, causing our Beloved SAVIOR to pause in HIS remarks. Then as the noise somewhat subsides FATHER continues:) It may be that SHE will have something to say when WE conclude.
At this particular instance I AM refraining from speaking, conveying the thought that as WE Speak and as WE have said before —SHE is just the same today as it was when SHE first stood by MY SIDE and became MY SPOTLESS VIRGIN BRIDE! (Again applause and cheering fairly deafened the atmosphere! FATHER then continues:) And as with HER, so reproduce I the SPIRIT and the NATURE, the VIRGINITY and the HOLINESS by Impregnation and by Inculcation into the hearts and lives of all of these, MY True and Real Rosebuds and Crusaders if you please!
Real True Crusaders live even as MY SPOTLESS VIRGIN BRIDE, for WE came to Propagate Virtue, Holiness, Virginity and Righteousness in the hearts and live of the children of men, that both those who are called women and those who are called men might be partakes of the same Virtues and Holiness and all of the Virginity of Mary and the Holiness of Jesus! (Thunderous applause resounds.)
I need not say more, as I believe I have said enough to stir up your pure minds! But to convince the critics that criticize —those who have endeavored to ridicule and write criticizing and derogatory articles — I want you to look at MY SPOTLESS VIRGIN BRIDE and behold all of them who stand by HER Side even as I do! I thank you!

FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE
(Directly after FATHER finished speaking MOTHER DIVINE in all HER Virgin Beauty and Purity arose midst thunderous applause, to speak as follows:)
Peace, FATHER Dear and Peace Everyone: Truly there is not much that we can say in praise and honor and glory to YOU but thank YOU, FATHER!, thank YOU, FATHER!— for millions of us, FATHER Dear, all over this world know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that YOU and YOU Alone are GOD ALMIGHTY! (Thunderous applause and cheers ring out.) YOU came treading the winepress all alone and of the people there were none to help; and truly, YOU are in the world and the world was made by YOU and the world can see YOU not. They can see YOU not because they are blinded by their own carnality; for it is written by JESUS CHRIST Himself that only the pure in heart shall see GOD! And FATHER, we know that YOU are GOD and we know that YOU are the SAVIOR and the EMANCIPATER of all mankind! And the world wants YOU, FATHER! If they could only behold YOU as we do! But we know that YOUR Works, YOUR Profound Works of Truth in Deeds and in Actions prove to the world conclusively that YOU are no other ONE but the SAVIOR of Mankind! (Again thunderous applause rings out.)
When you stop and think what FATHER has actually done for the people, as HE was speaking a little while ago; cleansing the people from vice and crime and sin and debauchery of every kind— people who can testify that no one— no army or navy or social order, no woman or man or anyone could change their minds! They did not want to be changed, the majority of them! But we know, FATHER Dear, that YOU put YOUR SPIRIT in us and caused us to walk in YOUR STATUTES! ("So true, MOTHER Dear!" sanctioned the adoring Congregation.)
It is so wonderful when you realize that this Truth has spread abroad and FATHER has not sent missionaries over to those foreign countries to coerce them in any way to preach HIS Doctrine, but HIS SPIRIT, which is the unadulterated SPIRIT of GOD HIMSELF, being Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent, has gone through the doors that were closed!— the doors that separate mankind! Doors, barriers of Racism, of Nationalism, of Tradition and Hereditation!— all of these barriers, YOUR HOLY, Beautiful, Great Spirit has Permeated and has been received in the hearts and minds of YOUR Children Universally!
And that is why, FATHER Dear, on this celebration of YOUR Fifth Anniversary to YOUR Spotless Virgin Bride we do give Honor and Glory and Praise and Thanksgiving to YOU for what YOUR HOLY MARRIAGE stands for! It is to Propagate Honesty, Virtue and Truth! Honesty, as FATHER has so beautifully told us how HIS Followers do not try to get something for nothing! That has been a curse to mankind since the fall of Adam!— always trying to get something for self instead of to give! And HE has through HIS Marriage, Propagated such Virtues as are seen in HIS Rosebuds and HIS Crusaders and HIS True Followers!
Now we say True Followers of FATHER DIVINE express Virtue! Now if they were following FAHER DIVINE, following in HIS Footsteps, how could they possibly express Virtue if HE did not firstly express Virtue? We did not know, we had no conception of what Virtue was, until HE taught it to us and put the desire in our hearts to live virtuous lives! And I am so glad that I can stand before the world today, knowing that I am a Spotless Virgin Bride! (The applause and cheers were deafening as one and all gave vent to their admiration and adoration of the Virgin Bride! MOTHER then continues:) It is such an honor and such a privilege! That is why everyone should know who FATHER DIVINE is!— because HE seeks to keep those who adhere to HIS Teaching, Virtuous, instead of trying or endorsing their Virtue being taken away from them! ("So true, so true!" exclaims the vast audience in unison.)
Many religious leaders have been inspired by GOD, but they all have missed the mark. It is only FATHER DIVINE that has dared to preach and to institute this Law among HIS Followers!— and it is a Law that HE has instituted not by coercion. I mean, if you want to be a follower of FATHER DIVINE, you will follow in HIS Footsteps; but if you don't want to express Virtue and live as we do, well that is perfectly all right! That is all right!— you can do just what you like! ( Loud applause resounds as the adoring Congregation sanctions MOTHER'S Words.)
FATHER does not tell people that they must be separated from their wives and from their husbands. If you want to live that way, that is perfectly all right with us! (MOTHER sweetly laughs as SHE stand there in radiant Purity, Holiness and Virginity— completely apart from the world and its carnality! Then SHE stresses seriously:) But if you come in under the jurisdiction of the Peace Mission Movement you are required to abide by the Laws, Rules and Regulations, because this is the Standard we desire to live by; because we know what this Standard of Virtue and Holiness means! ("Yes, yes!" exclaims the Congregation.) It means Happiness, Real True Happiness! It means Peace of Mind! It means a Clean, Healthy, Vigorous Body! It means everything that is good! It means that we can fulfill the First and Great Commandment, that thou shalt Love the Lord thy GOD with all thy Heart, with all thy Soul and with all thy Mind! (Again thunderous applause resounds.)
So it is a wonderful, wonderful privilege! And FATHER Dear, I am so glad that I can stand on My Feet today and thank YOU from the very dept's of My heart for bringing this virtue to mankind!— because it is the essence of what will bring Peace to the world at large. For it does not just mean being Virtuous in body but Virtuous in heart and mind! That we are purged of all of the evils that create war! And as we are cleaned up mentally and spiritually and physically, "As with and individual so with a nation and as with a nation so with all nations combined!" And we know FATHER Dear, that the world today is travailing because of this great Spiritual Birth that is taking place on the earth plane today! And as great as the evil is that seems to be manifested on the earth, so much more Greater is the Good that YOUR HOLY BODY has brought to this earth plane! I thank YOU, FATHER Dear!
