MOTHER DIVINE in the Auditorium
of the Circle Mission Church, Philadelphis, Pennsylvania
Words of the human language are indeed inadequate to explain, express or magnify this glorious and dynamic Message delivered by the LORD of lords and KING of kings in and at the time of this great emergency. However, we can but say it is the essence of PATRIOTISM and TRUE AMERICANISM! Its spirit and meaning is as a cord of UNITY and STRENGTH to bind this nation and its flag of the free and its citizens together forever in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose.
Nevertheless, as the candle of the light of Truth and Salvation is ofttimes hidden under the bushel of man's ignorance and folly and human concepts, so through prejudice, segregation and discrimination are the citizens and officials of this country hindering the growth and expansion of their only HOPE of SALVATION— the Plan and the Purpose of GOD ALMIGHTY— by heeding not the UNSELFISH OFFER of its REAL, TRUE AMERICAN CITIZENS under GOD to protect and safeguard this stronghold of democracy, AMERICA!
O ye officials and executives of America, take heed to the Words of FATHER DIVINE before it is too late, for the Wisdom contained therein far surpasses anything heard or understood before by the finite minds of men!
PRECIOUS LORD, WE TRULY THANK THEE!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which FATHER Speaks as follows:)
PEACE, EVERYONE: Here we all are again; there I sit and stand, the Personification of that which our government and all governments are now seeking; the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose. Even though they may be in opposition, one government to the other, yet they are seeking the Unity of the Spirit; of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, for they want all their subjects to unify with them and all other governments to cooperate or harmonize.or recognize and sympathize with them.
It is a privilege to realize at this particular instance in the time of the great emergency, GOD has an opportunity to bring about the issues that HE has stressed and emphasized and advocated. The time has truly come, humanity is now at the place they must see and know definitely what I have been telling you is the only Hope of Salvation!
As MY Message was given many years ago, the only Hope of the political redemption, in other words, the redemption of the political world, was through and by the Teaching and the Life I AM advocating. Though the politicians and officials and other representatives attempted to ignore and criticize what I had said and AM still doing, but the time has truly come, they must take cognizance of what has been said.
How glorious it is to live in the fulfilling of the Scripture! I mean, in and at that time when it is actually being fulfilled. We are now the fulfillers of the Scripture and we have become to be the outward expression today of our yesterday's mental and spiritual conception.
For this cause we can rejoice and we can see and we do know all government will eventually seek just what you have sought diligently and declare you have found what you had sought for.
I brought it to MY Attention a little while ago, the question of the representatives even of government refusing blood for the "blood bank" as I had mentioned in a most recent issue of The NEW DAY, and it was brought to MY Attention concerning the selfsame thing again. I AM just thinking, about what all prejudice and bigotry and those detestable tendencies that bring about, segregation and discrimination, really cause among the nations; I mean, what it causes and how it brings about even division on subjects that are most vitally important, the subject of UNITY, and in this great emergency.
If the government itself, representatives, and the religions would accept of MY Message, MY True Followers would not sell blood to the "banks" and they would not loan money to the government; but to the extreme reverse of selling blood to the "banks"— I mean, the "blood banks"— and of loaning money to the government or for any other cause, they would so freely as they have received, they would so freely give! They would not think about loaning money to the government, they would give it just as Joe Louis did, without any consider-ation, That is what I AM talking about!
MY True Followers if they had a chance for expression in the act of killing prejudice, bigotry and strife and all of those detestable tendencies that go with selfishness, they would not sell their blood to the hospitals but they would give all they could absolutely free. And they would not think about loaning money to the government. They would not think about loaning money to the Red Cross but they would give it absolutely free, without any thought of remuneration or any returns for it. But because of prejudice and division such has set up a great barrier and a ban of prohibitation that has prohibited you from having a free access for expression according to your religious conviction, for you would consider you should give without any thought of receiving anything in return— all that you could afford to give; not just one transfusion of blood but as many as you could give! Not just one five-dollar bill but as many as you could afford to rightfully give and still have enough on which to live! That is what MY Followers would do!
That is the reason they can buy houses and land and everything that life demands, by the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose where they are unified together by the Spirit of MY Presence and by this great conversion; because wheresoever they are converted into this Recognition as being termed MY Followers, living exactly according to the Life and the Teaching of JESUS, they know no race! They do not know any creed or color! They unite together, and as they unite together in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose through this great Conversion they bring, an end to all division among them; I mean, the Real, True ones. That is what I AM talking about! And by bringing an end to all division among them they become to be in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose and they are united in the Cooperative System mentally and spiritually and economically until it is a matter of impossibility to get one or affect one without getting or affecting the other.
This Hotel here is just a slight sketch, a slight reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain of what I AM conveying: how it really is from shore to shore and from land to land with those of MINE who are converted into this Recognition in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose and have brought an abolition to all selfishness among us.
I need not say more, but everyone who is in the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose with the Fundamental and lives Evangelically wholeheartedly, such a person is one with his fellow brother by being in harmony with him, and by the Cooperative System or Unification System each and everyone is absolutely independent, and being absolutely independent by living according to same, they do not stand in lacks, wants nor in limitations but they live in the Abundance of the Fulness of Life, Liberty and the Reality of happiness.
Hence, if all government would accept of the Truth I convey and be controlled by the Law of the Spirit of Life that was in CHRIST JESUS, why, here and now, and there and then they would not sell blood to the hospitals for the "blood banks" but they would give it freely, and all would readily give it. And those who are the receivers of it would readily receive it according to the number of your blood and would not reject it because of the color of your faces!
And then you would not limit your money. You would not limit your blood and you would not loan money, but you would give it freely without any thought of remuneration or any thought of returns for that which you shall have given!
How marvelous it is to know the Truth! Even those of MY Followers right here in this auditorium, it would amount to a whole lot if they had free access for expression here in the City of Brotherly Love. If they were free from prejudice and division, segregation and discrimination and had free access to earn a livelihood the same as everybody else, according to your respective professions, according to your physical ability and according to your moral efficiency, you would and they would be unified together and would have a-full and a-plenty of money and to spare because you would have had jobs all along. You would have been filling positions you were qualified to fill and you would have had plenty of money the same as those of MINE have who have crossed that Mason and Dixon Line and have actually ascended— or transcended, whichever, the barriers of limitation where they can master and have become to be the mastery over circumstances and conditions of the economic system. Aren't you glad!
Those of MY True Followers who have transcended such barriers, they have a-plenty to live on. Aren't you glad! But all of you could have been, had it not been for segregation, discrimination, prejudices, races, creeds and colors and lines drawn of demarcation (Can you not see the mystery?) ; had it not been for localization and other detestable systems of men that prevent you from making your advances and even helping your government and your respective communities economically and financially. Can you not see the. mystery?
Those who live according to MY Teaching, the time is not far distant until they shall have free access for expression without the slightest barrier or limitation of segregation, of prejudice and discriminaton because of race, creed or color as they may appear to be! When this is accomplished you will not loan money to the government but you will give it, and you will not just give ten percent; and the government will not have to ask you for it. I say, you will give it to the government and will not limit yourself to ten percent and the government will not have to ask you for it!
Those of MY Followers organizationally, individually, severally and collectively in the Cooperative System and for the cause with which they are interested, they voluntarily cooperate and buy houses and land; they do not ask each other for it. They do not ask the Co-operative System to permit them to do this, that nor the other. So it would be with the government! The government does not have to ask or ask a subject for it when the subjects of the nation have a free access for expression and have no barriers or limitation on account of prejudice or segregation. Can you not see the mystery?
Those in the different organzational corporations who are cooperatng together, those of MY True and Faithful Followers, they do not ask that corporation or that organization, as it may be termed, "Can I cooperate?" because they know they are a part of it. If every American citizen would be Real American Citizens according to MY Religious and Political Conviction they would express their Real Citizenry by volunteering their service to the government willingly and volunteering their blood and their finances and everything else absolutely gratis, because they know they are a part of it. Can you not see the mystery?
This is not an issue I AM making of this Message I AM giving, but I AM conveying a thought to you, MY Hearers and Friends and others who are prejudiced and desire to keep the American citizens segregated, one against the other, and limited and prevented from having an access for expression —I AM showing you if you would bring an end to all of those prejudices and bigotry and division among the people, why then, all of the True Believers would be willing to give to the government and to any righteous organization or movement.
As I said the other week, because they are limited and prevented, a good many Followers, Believers and Friends and those who sympathize with them may feel as though if they cannot give their blood they should not give their money! I AM just saying the way some of them feel about it. I say, let every person be governed by his or her highest intuition and move by your own volunteer volition and do whatsoever your mind tells you definitely. You have a right to do whatsoever your mind tells you or whatsoever the Spirit leads you to do.
But, as I said, PREJUDICE will cause the rebuttal of such an act, and it causes hundreds and thousands and thousands of people, even the sympathizers and harmonizers with those who they think have blood in their veins that the soldiers would not want to go in theirs—it causes all harmonizers and sympathizers with those people to feel like, "Well, if I could not give my blood and if they could not give their blood, I could not and they could not or would not want to give their money!" That is the way they feel about it!
I AM just saying the way they feel about it. I AM a Thermometer. I AM carrying the minds of the people and especially a certain people that are mistreated, molested, downtrodden and under-privileged— I AM carrying their minds and the sympathizers of their minds through the Spirit of Analyzation by the Spirit of Equalization and I AM adjusting the matters satisfactorily!
I AM a Mental and Spiritual Thermometer! So I have allowed you to see the degrees of the minds of the people and how they feel concerning this prejudice that is rampant through the land, even in the City of Brotherly Love! -- even though I did say in nineteen thirty-three, I think it was, or thirty-two, right here in this City: I will not only bruise the head of the serpent PREJUDICE but I will cut it off!" AREN'T YOU GLAD!
Now that is what I AM doing. I AM not only bruising the head of the serpent PREJUDICE, but I AM cutting it off! After cutting it off I AM crushing the head so it will not live again! Of a very recent date I used our Chief Exec-utive, the Commander-in-chief of the Army and the Navy, to say— and if you live according to his request, PREJUDICE shall no longer have free access. Aren't you glad! Therefore, I have used him to cut it off!
That great address he gave to Congress last week has gone down in history never to be forgotten. It has actually cut off legally, politically and nationally, the head of the serpent PREJUDICE! Can you not see the mystery?
It was not a federal issue after I said it in nineteen thirty-three; it was made a state issue but they would not enact it. It was made legal but they would not endorse it; they would not enact it. Can you not see the mystery? It is a violation to the law of the State of Pennsylvania in any public place to segregate — public hotels, public restaurants and in any public place, it was made a law the very next session of Congress after I declared I would cut it off, but they would not enact it! Can you not see the mystery? So I said, "I will get at the head of the serpent." Here comes the Chief Executive in his most recent address to Congress, instructing the Congressmen, the Representatives and also the Senators just what they should do, to every state, in the Union. Aren't you glad!
Then I say, if you subjects and you Representatives in the House and in the Senate and in your respective Civil service positions, National Defense positions—in other words enterprise — will but enact that Proclamation of the President and his request, MY Followers, though they run into the millions right here in the city and state and country, would not and will not be limiting themselves to giving or loaning to the Red Cross and loaning to Uncle Sam, but they would give their blood if they would have a free access to give it and they would give their money if they had a free access to give it. They would have a free access to give their money anyway, matters not how "so-and-so",you are! But MY SPIRIT would cause them to give their MONEY if they could give their BLOOD!
If your citizens, Mr. Senator and the House of Representatives-- if your citizens will bring an abolition legally to segregation according to the President's request, you will not have any trouble; and then bring an abolition to it from every other angle of expression; give them a free chance for expression; cause them to feel as though they are REAL AMERICAN CITIZENS,. they would be willing to give their finances, not only limitedly but unlimitedly, because they will feel that they are a part of this great nation!
The majority of MY Followers know I have given MY LIFE, MY ENERGY, MY AMBITION and everything ABSOLUTELY GRATIS, without any thought of remuneration. They would think it a small thing to give their little finances, especially what they did not actually need for the sustenance of their bodies and for the upkeep of their homes and families! They would not think it would be anything to give what they did not need! Can you not see the mystery?
I heard one say the other day, one of MY Followers said, "I want to put some money in the Cooperative System with some of the people because I do not need all I have." That expression of a person bespeaking the expression of all of the subjects of such a conversion — I mean, of all who are converted into such a Recognition and what they would do for the nation; for as with an individual so with a nation, and as with a corporation so with an organization, and with an organization so with a nation, and as with a nation so with all nations combined!
This country will free her people from the barriers of prejudice and segregation and all selfishness and discrimination and let them have a FREE ACCESS for EXPRESSION and for ADVANCEMENT, yea, for ADVANCING; and when this is done they will voluntarily, willingly and readily at all times consider whatsoever they have, it belongs to their country, for their country belongs to them! I thank you.
