The playing of a brand new recording just received by mail this morning from Australia, delighted the hearts of one and all present! Many were the songs and testimonies of praise and thanksgiving to FATHER from those in Australia and even those of the original Australians, who, in like manner, were praising FATHER for HIS Great Work and Mission that is accomplishing Universally what man could and cannot do!
It was after this recording that our Beloved SAYIOR arose volitionally and spoke significantly on one of the testimonies just heard. Thus, for your edification and enjoyment, we have included both the testimony in question and FATHER'S Glorious Sermon, that all might give GOD Almighty the Glory for HIS Wonderful Work here on earth in redeeming the children of men universally from vice and crime, sin and debauchery of every kind. And not only so, but teaching them the universe over, to love, cherish and live Americanism, Brotherhood, Christianity and Democracy and lift up as a Universal Standard, the Flag of the Free, which is waving not only over America but in and over every land and clime where reside the millions and millions of True and Faithful Followers of FATHER DIVINE!
For THY Bounteous Goodness to one and all, Almighty GOD, we truly thank THEE!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which is firstly recorded the testimony of the brother from Australia):
