Father Skeikowitz
and a group from their Catholic Church in Chicago,Illinois.
Directly after the proofreading of a dynamic Sermon given by FATHER earlier in the afternoon of the same day, our Lord and Savior arose in all Majesty and spoke further on the same Vital subject.
It is now up to the officials to get busy and it is up to those of the leaders to take cognizance of FATHER'S Words, for the hour has come when GOD shall speak once, yea twice — and if His Voice is not heeded, the turmoil which must inevitably follow will be terrible on the face of the earth!
So therefore, hearken now, while there is yet time, for FATHER DIVINE, GOD Almighty, seeks solely the upliftment and betterment of humanity in general and the abolishing of segregation, prejudice and hatred and the chaos which results in the practice of same! For HE is and shall establish the Brotherhood of man and the FATHERHOOD of GOD universally and fulfil the scripture in so doing, and naught shall slightly hinder nor retard His advances! GOD is here now, and here to stay!
Thank YOU, Almighty GOD, FATHER DIVINE!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which are firstly recorded the words of the inspirational composition sung just before FATHER arose to speak.)
Americans, stand together!
America, unite in one!
Prejudice must go forever;
America must, she must unite in one!
In division there is strife;
America, unite in one!
You'd better do away with segregation,
Stand united as one great nation;
America, unite in one!
(FATHER Speaks as follows:)
Peace, Everyone: Here we all are again; there I sit and here you stand! In the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose I AM making humanity just what I AM!
That little composition as an appeal to the American people, I reiterate it, I stress it, I rehearse it;
Americans, stand together!
America, unite in one!
for truly,
"Where there is division there is strife, and where there is strife there is confusion!"
As was said in that Message as proof read, I gave this afternoon at the Holy Banquet Table, in part, I AM impressed and stressed to make this appeal to the Jewish people to discontinue sending your subjects, your friends and those who are called Jews to Palestine to be enslaved!
I have been hearing over the radio daily what Great Britain is saying concerning the Jews being deported over there; will not allow but so many to go or if there are many allowed to go, whether they go by the hundreds of thousands or millions they will still be subjected to Great Britain and no doubt, get the same that they received at the hands of Hitler!
Bilbo and some of his colleagues — some of them of dark completion, have come to ME to try to get ME to get all of those who are Afro-Americans and African decent to go to Africa! What do they want to get you over there, to send you over there for? — to enslave you?
Just as I said, there are two comparisons; the Jewish people, they desire to enslave; they desire to keep down; and the Afro-Americans and the Africans in general they desire to keep down!
This is the land of the free and the home of the brave! When they come to ME, as the doctrine of the Garveyites was — "Get all of the Afro-Americans to go to Africa!" — many of them know not what they are doing! But I knew, as I know, it was detrimental and would bring misery and woe to millions!
The two great comparisons, as I speak in the defense of the Africans, I speak in the defense of the Jewish people, for there they are comparatively the same, and some of them think it is a great thing — to tow them off and put them in a trap to massacre them! Now if they don't listen to what I say, they will know of it, when they get millions of Jewish people in Palestine and then they drop a few atomic bombs on them!
I AM just telling you the way I feel about it! I AM just telling you as though I would be a prophet! Aren't you glad! ("So glad!" came the immediate reply.)
I AM not thinking about telling anyone to go to Africa at Bilbo's wishes or command, and I AM not thinking of trying to get the Jewish people to go to Palestine to there be massacred!
Then I say, tell them all what I have said! If they don't do it, that is what it appears as if they would or will! Want you to break up your homes from here in America in a democratic country, under a Democracy, where a man politically and legally documentally has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness — where a man has the same rights! Documentally they have it! They may not have it in reality but documentally they have it! And as long as there is a Constitution and a Declaration of Independence, I shall contend for it until every man has his right to life, liberty and the reality of happiness! Aren't you glad! ("So Glad!" came the enthusiastic response.) I shall continue declaring, even though they may not have it, but they have it documentally, they have the right to it and they must have the same rights from shore to shore and from land to land!
Then as I said by composition,
Americans, stand together!
America, unite in one!
You must unite! The enemies want to pull you apart — want to make you think you are something different from what someone else is, an American Citizen! You can fight and die for Democracy to save the world, together, then why not stand together and live together?
What a privilege to live in the Actual Presence of GOD!
These thoughts stressed MY Mind so vividly this morning that I said I must release it and let the world know what they want to do to the Jewish people! Hitler's spirit wants to get them all in Palestine and kill them! The same spirit in the name of Bilbo and Bilboism in this country wants to do the thing to the Africans! The same spirit wants to do them that way — but I will not tolerate it!
Then I say we shall have a Righteous Government, and
America shall be united and be as one man at Jerusalem, of every nation, every language, every tongue and every people, as they were in the beginning of the creation. They were all of on language and of one speech and they shall be eventually again one language and
one speech and one people, for the amalgamation of all nations , all languages, all tongues and all people and shall bring about that universal brotherhood of man and the conscious recognition of the FATHERHOOD of GOD
I do not wish to bore, you, but I felt like telling you what you should do. You have a right to go to Africa, Europe or any other place you want to go on a trip, like everybody else; but don't let them fool you! Want to bait you in a trap!
Look what they are doing to the Jews in Palestine already, and look what the Jews are supposed to be doing to them, and look how they are carrying on! The British occupancy of Palestine, whether it would be the British occupancy of Palestine of the American occupancy of Palestine, it would make no difference to ME, if it meant to segregate and separate and discriminate, I would not endorse it neither would I tolerate it or sympathize with it! Because evidence shows daily in these borders what they would do to those of the under-privileged and non-privileged and what would be done to them generally by those of the over-privileged and all-privileged!
( At this point FATHER picks up a newspaper and says:)
In such an experience as this, as I said a little while ago today, when they allow the savages of humanity — I say the brutes of humanity with brutality and savagery, because they suspected a man having stabbed another man in a fight,, to go and take him out and lynch him in a mob of thirty-five unmasked men! Then I say, Washington go get them! Washington get the lynch mobbers — the lynchers — or I will consider that this country is just the same as Germany was!
We have laws in this country and we have a Constitution and a Bill of Rights second to none, and we have a flag for which I have stood and for which I now stand; but I do say, we, the people must take a stand for Democracy and realize that when we pledge allegiance to our flag we must know by nature we are one nation indivisible! And if there is any divisibility exemplified, we must make ourselves indivisible by the unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose and by persistently learning to love one another!
For this cause I say, we daily Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. (FATHER points to the large beautiful American Flag to the right of the pulpit) and we do declare it is for the Republic for which it stands; and it is for one nation, indivisible. Therefore, I will not tolerate the savages of humanity continuing to try to bring about divisibility!
I AM bringing the nations together! Why? Because out of this blood in these veins — (FATHER points to His Own Beautiful Wrist) and in this life — (FATHER points to Himself) is it of which, out of this same blood, out of one blood GOD created all nations of men to dwell upon the face of the whole earth! I thank you!
