These profound recordings bear witness of the great healing power of our SAVIOR, and of how HE has lifted many over there from lacks, wants and limitations as well as here, and has educated them into the spirit of true Americanism, and has given them the desire to learn and speak the English language; and the songs and testimonies from the recording from Switzerland are in English and it is wonderful to see how they are trying to walk in the footsteps of their SAVIOR and fulfil HIS every wish and desire.

When FATHER arose to speak, HE thrilled the congregation with HIS profound Words of Spirit and Life, and gave them, whosoever will, the privilege of receiving this New Birth of Freedom under GOD, that they might have this abundant life, and have it , yea, more abundantly.

Thank YOU, Almighty GOD!

(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and the following is FATHER'S profound Sermon with FATHER speaking as follows:)

Peace Everyone! At this instance I would just like to say, we will be hearing from Switzerland, since we heard a little from America, but Americanism, Democracy, Christianity, Judaism and Brotherhood are functioning in Switzerland, in Germany, in England and Australia, in Panama and in all other countries as well as here under MY jurisdiction, though I have not gone to these places Personally. But since GOD is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent, I AM just as expressive there as here among all those who recognize MY DEITY and MY Everpresence. I thank you.

(As FATHER resumed HIS seat, recordings were played from Switzerland and Australia, bearing witness of the great universal Love and Blessings of Almighty GOD, FATHER DIVINE, as HE extends them to one and all. At the conclusion of same, FATHER arose to the delight of one and all, and delivered this profound, dynamic Sermon for the salvation of all mankind.)

Peace Everyone! I would like to say to our visiting guests and strangers in our midst, the last speaker on the recording, as you heard him say yourself, he came to our meeting in New York City nearly twenty years ago, falling down under agony, and desired to be blessed. It was said that he had two guns in his pocket as he said, and was supposedly drunk at the time.

That is why I say:

"Be mindful how you entertain strangers, whereby some have entertained angels unawares."
Melbourn, Australia

Even though under the influence of liquor, that conviction has never left him, the conviction he received to a certain extent, to realize MY DEITY! He went away; from here at that time, I had not heard from him until recent years, but in recent years he turned up in Australia, was converted and filled with the Holy Spirit, inspired by the Spirit of MY Everpresence and commissioned to preach the Gospel! It is marvelous how the Spirit of MY Presence will change you from the Adamic state of consciousness to the CHRIST Consciousness and bring you from vice and crime and sin and debauchery of every kind to the recognition of Virtue, of Holiness, of Honesty and of Truth!

These are the kind of disciples, followers, hearers and friends I AM automatically producing, for I AM changing even the tides of governmental affairs! Aren't you glad! (So glad, Almighty GOD!" exclaimed the masses.)

I need not say a word politically! I need not cast a ballot! GOD deals in the affairs of men and none shall slightly hinder HIM! Bills are instituted as well as passed and put into the statute books of our government, and into the representatives recordings and yet men may fail to obey those commandments as given by the law of the Government! But when I get a hold of you, you may go to Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia or anywhere a man is found, I will be there! Aren't you glad! ("Yes LORD, so glad!" again shouted the happy throng.)

I take out of your nature all of those undesirable characteristics and disposition and prove to the world conclusively, this whole nation should have a New Birth of Freedom! Abraham Lincoln spoke of it, as MY adherents have so vividly sung, but FATHER DIVINE brought it about! Our great emancipator spoke of this nation having a new birth of freedom; not only those of the slaveric people at the time of his emancipation, but he said:

"That this whole nation might have a new birth of freedom, that government by the people, for the people and through the people might not perish from the earth."

I came to give you all that new birth! And I AM giving the nations collectively and universally— not only so, but I AM giving this generation and this civilization, that New Birth of Freedom that Abraham Lincoln mentioned! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, LORD!" came the happy shout.) I have freed you from racism! I have freed you from all of the isms that spell division! I have brought you together collectively as E Pluribus Unum! Those of Judaism, those of Americanism, those of Democracy, Brotherhood and Christianity, I make you synonymous and you will be able to stand Unified together and there will be no more divisibility among us!

Our Pledge of Allegiance called for this that no man could give. It calls for " One Nation Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All!" Yet without ME they are not even so much as One Family, Indivisible! There is divisibility in the families of the children of men! In your own lineage you are divided one against the other; but look about yourselves here, and behold your international and national and universal brother, and the brotherhood of man established as One Man at Jerusalem!

As you heard us sing a little while ago,"There are no more races, creeds or colors" (Aren't you glad!) there is no more divisibility among us! When you look at your right and look at your left among us, you see your sister or your brother— the kind of people GOD made, for what said the Scripture, yea the Constitutional Document of our Government? That we are "One Nation, Indivisible"; and it also declares:

"Out of One Blood GOD formed all nations of men for to dwell upon the face of the whole earth."

When this is done and established universally, such as the aggressor nations that we have to go up against now will no longer have access for expression and there will be no more uprisings among this or any other nations. There will be no more race riots and there will be no more lynchings! Aren't you glad! ("Oh yes, LORD! so glad!" shouted the multitude.) That is what I am doing here among this people! Just look at you! Expressing a True Citizenry of a True Democracy of E Pluribus Unum; One Nation, Indivisible with Liberty and Justice for All! Where you will no longer think of yourselves on terms of national origins, for I AM eradicating and dispelling all division and every expression of divisibility so that the people might live together and express the Universal Brotherhood of Man and realize the One and Only Fatherhood of GOD for which you all have prayed!

It will be a wonderful world in which to live; no longer fighting for territories; no longer aggressively trying to take the advantage of another, but all shall eventually be as you are here under this Jurisdiction, expressing the Universal Brotherhood of Man and the Consciousness of the FATHERHOOD of GOD! Aren't you Glad! ("So glad Almighty GOD!" echoed the happy throng.)

When that is done, you will no longer fight against one another, because every man's brother will be your brother! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, LORD, so glad!" again came the happy response.) When this is done, as with ME under MY Personal Jurisdiction and over and in all places over which I preside, there will be the abundance over and above all soliciting, begging and stealing; over and above all chicanery and scheming and above all racketeering and tip taking; GOD in the midst of you is Mighty to Save!

The reason you hear those in Australia, in Switzerland, in Germany, in England, in Panama and in all other countries, declaring MY DEITY is because they called for aid and deliverance, as a Supernatural but Invisible Emancipator, I delivered them! Because they recognize both MOTHER'S and MY Presence, even though we are Personally absent from them, such a recognition is the fulfillment of our often rehearsed motto that I have given and it is now international and universal:

"The Spirit of the consciousness of the Presence of GOD is the source of all supply and it will satisfy every good desire."

You hear them declaring the abundance of the fullness and you can plainly see by portraits, pictures as give in The New Day, they have the Abundance of the Fullness and they are Conscious of Good because they recognize MY Presence and the Spirit of the Consciousness of such a conviction has brought it about! Can you not see the Mystery?

It is good for you, it is good for all! You cannot get it justifiably by chicanery, by stealing, by thievery and by undermining your fellow man, by soliciting, by borrowing, neither by begging! Aren't you glad! ("So glad, FATHER dear!" came the enthusiastic reply.) Every time you try to borrow money or go around soliciting, taking tips and presents, you are making yourself poorer—putting yourself in poverty and your donor in wealth and honor! I thank you.
