Woodmont, The Mount of the House of the Lord in Autumn

Peace Everyone! That little composition we sang a little while ago: "Now We Have A Righteous Government", I think it quite appropriate for the occasion in reference to the Message as read from the pages of The New Day and also from the letters under "Righteousness Marches On!" If you would stop and consider what I really mean to this people, you would know I mean more than merely that which may be termed preaching the Gospel to them, but I AM preaching the practicality of the Gospel and putting into the hearts and lives of even the executives, the Spirit of Equity, of Righteousness and Truth, by proving to them conclusively they cannot get away with any and everything they do.

According to information as received, as I explained in MY Message, this party, since she received this six hundred and seventy dollars, desired to put in her resignation to get exempt from receiving any further aid from the relief rolls; but it appears at this particular instance as if though some of the officials desired to exhort money from her. It appears that way!

Of course, the chief officials would know whether it was just and whether it was right for such an act to be taken by the Resource Department; but whether it is or not, I have conveyed a thought in that Message to let you and others see and know, I AM not receiving relief or money from the Dole; enough to let you see and know MY True Followers will not remain on the relief if they are true Followers of Mine.

Even though all earth oppose and every opposition devised by man, those who have even made legislation, made laws to handicap and suppress My Followers into subjection to do that which is not according to their religious conviction: yet the Spirit of MY Presence is Marching On, giving them victory continually! How marvelous it is to live in this day and at a time when GOD in is own Love and Mercy is ruling and reigning in the hearts and lives of men!

As I said a few days ago, those of you who desire to know the Truth and have any problem you desire to have solved, any ailment or complaint you desire to have adjusted satisfactorily; if you read all of "Righteousness Marches On" in each issue of The New Day from now and two years back, and read it with an open mind, each letter; it will solve your every problem and will adjust matters satisfactorily for you.

MY Message through the pages of The New Day and especially under "Righteousness Marches On!" as letters to men of Business, Profession, Labor and Trade as letters directed to the person or persons who were concerned; if you take these Messages as they were given to them, and realize they are applicable for you and your business; for your problems, for all of your trials and tribulations and will solve them; your thoughts on such, by you reading with an open mind, will solve every problem for you!

Those who have not and had not read The New Day for the last two and a half years should read "Righteousness Marches On!" Every letter I have sent to others is a panacea for every ill; it is a panacea for your tribulations and will solve all of your problems if you will harmonize with them and read open mindedly.

In this particular issue of The New Day it is enough in these letters as advertised to give you first hand information concerning MY Work and MY Mission and MY Endeavors for a Righteous Government Universally: and it is enough to let you see and know we can have it here and now the same as we sang that song:

"Now WE Have A Righteous Government!"

This is not a supposition. You all realize there is something more than mortal to command. You realize the very Words I Speak they go into the hearts and minds of the children of men and light up their darkened understanding of sin, and open the way for them that they might see ME as I AM and be emancipated from the undesirable conditions that have befallen them.

Oh, how glorious it is to live in such a recognition and build such a foundation as this one! Those letters to the different individuals under "Righteousness Marches On" in this weeks issue of The New DAY, you should read them over and over again, until you can digest the Spirit and Meaning of what I have said and become to be absolutely independent, even as I AM, the Emancipator of all humanity. But such harmony as I require of you to harmonize with the message I have given and read the letters with the spirit of sincerity and open mindedly. I will emancipate you from every undesirable condition!

I need not say more. The very Words I Speak, they are Spirit and they are Life, and if you continue to read MY Words, you shall the truth concerning ME and the Truth shall set you free!

I especially stress this weeks issue of The New Day, the letters under "Righteousness Marches On!" but next weeks issue will also be stressful and should be deeply considered equivalently as these letters are to be considered in this weeks issue, such as you heard read. Take these thoughts to consideration and realize, as you live in this recognition and harmonize with ME, your desires as prayers are heard and answered speedily; for GOD Himself is with you! Truly might have one said:

"Behold I come quickly and MY reward is with ME, to reward every man according as his works may be."

Read The New Day verbatim, read the Messages if you care to, and especially "Righteousness Marches On!" for the last two and a half years, and you will see and you will know you will be lifted from every undesirable condition, from all sorrow, misery and woe.

This is not a supposition. If it is applicable and expressive and functionable to the Advocator, the Emphasizer and the Transmitter, it is the same to those to whom it is applied and who will apply it effectively according to the directions I have given. I thank you.

\When you apply these Messages of Truth as conveyed to you, when you apply them to your life, to your business, to your affairs and to all of your activities, you will find they will work for you effectively, if you will harmonize with them; for you will imbibe the Spirit of them and be partakers of the contagion. When this is done,it will and they will work automatically.When I say they,I mean the Message as given, the words that I have spoken as Spirit and Life transmitted — when MY Words are reincarnated within you and you live according to same; as I AM so can you be— Free from every undesirable condition and Emancipated once and forever the same as the Emancipator! I thank you.
