I Am Speaking To Capital and Labor! I Am Speaking to Business and Trade!
They All Must Come Together! — FATHER DIVINE

Our FATHER'S Sermon Given Whilst At the Holy Communion Table of the Circle Mission Church, Home and Training School, Inc.
of Pennsylvania, 764-772 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Friday Evening, October 12, 1945 A.D.F.D., Time — 5:00 P. M.

Shortly after the reading of a beautiful Sermon given by FATHER in Riverton on friday evening, September the twenty-eighth, from the October sixth issue of The New Day, our Beloved LORD and Savior, yea, the Supreme and Righteous Judge of all Creation, commenced singing the beautiful inspirational composition which is herein recorded, after which HE arose and delivered this dynamic and very timely Sermon which carries a message that, if adhered to, will iron out all of our present economic, social and business  problems confronting  the heads of this Nation today!

Truly as is stated by FATHER, the Capitalistic System and the Labor System must work together — and in HIS Gracious and Majestic Words of Truth, Spirit and Life, FATHER presents to all civilization the Key, yea, the Solution to this very vital problem that is threatening the stabilization of our government at this present time.

For THY Guidance, Dear LORD, we THY children do humbly thank THEE!

(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which is firstly recorded the song our LORD so sweetly sang just before HE arose to speak.)

The music to the song.


I AM the ONE, I Am the ONE,
I came treading the winepress all alone;
I AM the ONE, I Am the ONE,
I came treading the winepress all alone!

There were none to walk right with ME,
I came treading the winepress all alone;
So, all were wrong. Now do you not see?
I came treading the winepress all alone!

Oh, I AM the ONE, I Am the ONE,
I came treading the winepress all alone;
I AM the ONE, I Am the ONE,
I came treading the winepress all alone!

(FATHER speaks as follows:)

Peace Everyone: Good Health, Good Will and a Good Appetite; Good Manners, Good Behavior, All Success and All Prosperity; Life, Liberty and the Reality of Happiness! These and all other Blessings, we have them!

In that little declaration as a composition I AM still making it known, I came treading the Winepress all alone!

The Wise Men heard the Message from the spiritual realm as though it was in heaven, saying,

"Glory to GOD in the highest and on earth Peace, Good Will toward men,"


in other words,

"Glory to GOD in the highest and Peace on earth with men of Good Will!"

When you have Good Health, Good Will and a Good Appetite, Good Manners and Good Behavior, All Success and All Prosperity will follow and you will have a Good Will towards Everybody! And the fulfillment of that inspirational revelationic composition will be a living reality in your present experiences, where the Wise Men declared they heard the angels sing, saying,

"Glory to GOD in the highest and on earth Peace to men of Good Will!"

To have a Good Will for everybody and to be Honest, Competent and True, with such a Will substantiated in you, you will also have Peace on earth and it will be Good Will in you to others as in others it will be to you!

 

Joint Heirs with Jesus

It is a privilege to observe what GOD has actually done and what GOD is presently doing in bringing about that Universal Brotherhood of man and the Conscious Recognition and Realization of the Fatherhood of GOD. As I said in the Message as read, you find that Jesus taught you to pray, "Our FATHER;" He did not tell you to say, "Jesus" FATHER"! I cannot stress it too vividly neither can I stress it too often. When He taught you to pray, "Our FATHER" He wanted you to claim your heirship with Him as an heir and joint heir with Him individually, severally and collectively among you all, whomsoever  you be that pray it! Aren't you glad! ("So glad" came the reply.)

"Our FATHER!" And you are asking Him to let the Kingdom come and the Will be done on earth as it is in heaven! This is also definitely in keeping with the revelationic inspirationic prediction made by the angels in the consideration of the Wise Men when they sang and when they said,

"Glory to GOD in the highest and on earth Peace, Good Will toward men!"

To bring that Peace and good will toward men right down here on the earth plane was to bring the government of the Kingdom from the imaginary heaven down to your recognition and realization right here on the earth plane into materialization, where GOD is Materializing, Reproducing and Personifying your fondest pre-imagination! Aren't you glad! ("So glad LORD!" answered the assembly in one voice.)

The music to the song.

By this we shall have a Righteous Government right down here upon the face of the earth, and as you heard ME say by composition as a declaration in keeping with Isaiah's prediction when he said,

"Who is this that cometh from Bozrah with dyed garments on? HE came treading the winepress all alone and of the people there was none to help!"


you can see definitely, mortality cannot and will not try to help ME! Aren't you glad! ("So glad!" again came the response.) Therefore, I came treading the Winepress all alone!

 

There Shall Be Peace On Earth

But over and above every opposition and every uprising in profession, labor or business among the nations of the earth, I shall bring Peace on Earth and Good Will toward men! Aren't you glad! )"So glad, GOD Almighty!" exclaimed the congregation.)

Then to the capitalistic system and all of the representatives of it and to the Labor System and all of the representatives of it, I AM calling for you to take cognizance of MY Message, for I shall have Righteousness on Earth as I have it here jurisdictionally! Aren't you glad! ("Oh, so glad Lord!" replied the vast throng.) I will not tolerate a continuous uprising  and conflict among this people on the Home Front more than I tolerated uprising and the warfare and bloodshed and savagery abroad! We shall have a Righteous Government right here!

I AM speaking to capital and labor! I AM speaking to business and trade! They all must come together, for we must live together, as I have often called your attention to the fact that capital and labor must unite together for they are brothers! We will not tolerate the oppression of labor by capital, as it has supposedly been, and we will not tolerate the conflicts and the conflictions among the laborites against capital! I have brought them together as all races, creed and colors! Aren't you glad! ("Truly glad, FATHER Dear!" exclaimed the assembly.)

In the time of our extreme emergency abroad and at home in this just-passed international, yea, global warfare, every one called for unity on the home front.  And by inspiration I have declared  by composition,

"Unity on the Home Front will give victory abroad!"

Therefore we called for Unity and we won the Victory by all of the American citizens and her allies, working together for one common purpose, to bring an abolition to savagery and brutality and inhumanity of those who were against us

People United At FATHER'S Request

There are those of the American people today who united at MY request and at MY endorsement and bought millions and millions of dollars worth of bonds to crush the enemy, as he had arisen against them politically; and by the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose we won the victory over the international common political and national enemy! Aren't you glad! ("So glad , LORD!" replied the enthusiastic multitude.)

As we won the victory over the common enemy, I AM appealing to every just and right thinking person of our citizenry of this Democracy to unite consolidatedly for the self-same purpose of bringing victory over division and strife and confusion between capital and labor and friends and neighbors, that we might express a citizenry of True Democracy and bring about  that Universal Brotherhood of Man for which you all have prayed!

For what purpose has this prayer been prayed from your early existence —

"Our FATHER which art in heaven, hallowed be THY Name. THY Kingdom come , THY Will be done on earth as it is in heaven"?

All of the Christian religions and even other religions have prayed that the Kingdom bf GOD might come upon the face of the earth and that the Will of GOD might be done.

I AM still appealing to the children of men! For it to come, you must come — you must come into the Unity of Spirit, of Mind and of Purpose and nite together and  win the Peace on the Home Front between capital and labor, friends and neighbors and enemies all together!  Let us win the Peace as we have won the victory over the common enemy in the great inhuman warfare of bloodshed and savagery!

 

FATHER"S Words Are Fulfilled

To win this victory we must untie consolidatedly! As I said in the purchase of bonds for the victory,

"Let us unite consolidatedly and buy bonds unlimitedly and we will cause the enemy to unconditionally surrender!"

You have seen MY Words have been fulfilled according to MY request and demand made upon this nation and all of the allied cooperators; even to the enemy! I demanded them to unconditionally surrender and so they did at the request of MY demand made upon them!

Therefore, I say to the subjects of this nation on the home front and abroad, "Let us unite consolidatedly and bring a abolition to disputing and confusion and all uprisings among this people to win the Peace as we won the war, and keep it after we win it effectively!"

I appeal to capital! Harmonize with labor and unify with labor on the home front for the redemption of this nation and for the re-establishment of  a lasting Peace that cannot be destroyed by the uprisings of aliens abroad, neither by the uprisings of aliens on this home front and in these borders! Let us learn to unite together as representatives of capital and as representatives of labor!Let us bring an end to the confusion that is threatening this nation to bring about confusion among ourselves, for it is the spirit of Hitler that has accomplished a great work in his behalf to try to create confusion among this people! Even though we have won the victory he does not want us to have Peace.

It is the spirit of Hitler and Hitlerism, savagery and brutality existing elsewhere and even among this people, trying to create confusion and bring about division, that we, the American people, might not know our right  hand from our left by such confusion and lack of unity  on the home front in our own borders!

 

Labor Unify With Capital

I appeal to you, labor, and the representatives of labor, because you are fighting against yourselves if you will not harmonize and unify with capital! Your demands are justifiable,  but let us realize, as you make such demands you must come to an agreement, and also make a bargaining offer that will justify capital, that we might have Peace until reconstruction through mass production shall have been rightfully established on the home front and we shall have come together, that another warfare will not come among us!

Whatsoever you demand, it can be had. (I AM speaking to labor now.) But you must agree with capital, and as you are bargaining, make an agreement, make an offer to capital that the agreement will stand — that whatsoever you or they agree to for the present, to stand for at least five years until we can re-adjust ourselves in Peace with victory over depressions, panics and famines and inflation in our nation! When this is done, those of us on the home front will have Peace on earth and good will toward men, and all of the nations of the earth will know America is the leader of civilization to lead them on to victory, whereby they will have Peace on earth and good will toward men by the coming of such an agreement by arbitration through harmonization and through the spirit of equilibrium which will justify capital  and also justify labor!

If you are asking for anything, whatsoever it may be, I say capital can justifiably give it to you if you are just in that which you ask. But you must agree to it that you will not call for any change in the proposition that you make with them for at least five years, until the readjustment shall have been made in this nation and in our allied nations, to overcome the prospect of inflation and depressions, panics and famines!

Take these thoughts to consideration. GOD is Speaking! Matters not how great you may be, representatives of the capitalistic system; matters not how great you may be, representatives of the labor system, matters not how great you may be, representatives of the political world and of business and trade, I came here as an American that I might be called an American — and I AM in the Name of GOD in America to you! ("So true, GOD Almighty!" exclaimed the entire congregation enthusiastically.)

I know a good many do not want to hear it, but they must take cognizance of what I AM saying and have said or else they will be failures individually, severally and collectively and will even be a failure organizationally and system-ly as well as politically and nationally!

I came as an America that I might be called an American! I have a right to speak for this nation — GOD in Person as an American (to you as a "Man" of America) — to arbitrate and advocate the unification of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose to bring about the Universal Brotherhood of Man for which you all have prayed, that all might be heirs and joint heirs together with the Christ; so that you all might enjoy the richness of the blessings  of your Great Creator, of the Glory of GOD in the Highest and on Earth Peace, Good Will toward men! I thank you!
