"Americanism Grants All Religions the Freedom of Worship." --- FATHER DIVINE

Our FATHER'S Message given during the Righteous Government Meeting at the Old Fellows' Hall, Olive Bridge,
The Promised Land
Saturday Evening, June 13, 1942 A.D.F.D., Time 11:20 P.M.



Olive Bridge, Ulster County, N. Y.

This truly marvelous and dynamic Message directly from the Powerhouse of Salvation itself, is broadcasting Good News and Glad Tidings from shore to shore and from land to land, telling all nations under the yoke of oppression and suppression, of this New and Righteous Government that is being birthed slowly and surely upon the Foundations of Righteousness, Truth and Justice, Equity and Square Dealing. Oh yes! It is telling every nation, language, tongue and people of this Perfect Form of Democracy which is receiving its Birth under GOD Almighty; a Government which shall have One Flag, One Tongue and One People; where there shall be no segregation nor discrimination practiced; where there will be no lacks, wants nor limitation, for all shall work in Harmony and Co-operation together as one man at Jerusalem, bringing to fruition the Abundance of the Fullness of every Good and Desirable Blessing through and by Mass Production and by worshiping the True and Living GOD according to the dictates of their own conscience.

But, O ye nations of the earth, hearken unto the Words of GOD HIMSELF as HE expounds the marvelous knowledge of this New and Righteous Government unto the universe at large. For truly,

'Man's extremity is GOD'S Opportunity",


and if ever man needed to listen to and obey GOD'S every Word and Command, it is right now! Therefore, hear ye HIM!

For THY Glorious Condescension, o King of the Universe, we magnify THY Great Name!

(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which is recorded the song sung by the "Rosebuds" and others, just before FATHER arose to speak.)

Song

Mass Production in field and forest; Mass Production in factory and mill;
Mass Production is the Keynote to Salvation; Mass Production Is our FATHER'S Will.
Mass Production will solve every problem, in city, state and national government,
Mass Production is our economic salvation and will be a foundation for a Righteous Government.
Mass Production in every activity, Mass Production with machine and hand and brain!
The Government didn't want it, but now they have to have it,
For Mass Production is the Keynote to Victory!


(FATHER speaks as follows:)

PEACE EVERYONE! I must stress for your consideration, even in words as well in song, the mystery and the significance of Mass Production. That little composition we just sang is well considering for everyone, even though I have preached and taught Mass Production year in and year out for many, many years and it has been ignored by individuals, by organizations and in a great measure by government, but it is a privilege to realize,

'Man's extremity is GOD'S Opportunity!'


We realize through this extreme emergency, the government has called into consideration the great necessity of Mass Production; and it, through its chief executive, has endeavored to put into operation the system of Mass Production as well also as Co-operation.

The Co-operative System will bring about Mass Production and Mass Production will bring about the Co-operative System if it is put into practice by each and all of our citizens. It will bring an end to the fear of depression. Even the fear of depressions will no longer be considered when we, the American people, put into practice the Golden Rule with Arbitration and Mass Production! Your farm, your job and all of your mills will produce the Abundance of the Fullness according to GOD'S Will.

 

You Should Be Inspired with the Spirit of Mass Production

You remember, GOD said,

'Increase, multiply and replenish the earth!'


Mass Production is the natural course of the advancement of our civilization. Mass Production should be in evidence in every activity and in every ambition. Your vocation should be inspired with the Spirit of Mass Production and with the Spirit of the Abundance of the Fullness of it. Mass Production will solve your every problem, will adjust matters satisfactorily and will cause you and your neighbors in and at the time or years of scarcity to have a-full and a-plenty and to spare.

Mass Production cannot be stressed too vividly. Mass Production in every activity, Mass Production even in your compositions, Mass Production in your inventions, Mass Production in all your endeavors! Mass Production should be the very spirit and the nature of your every ambition and your determination to increase and multiply the Abundance of the Fullness of all things that are good! This is also accomplished by Harmonization, as I said.

If you retrace your thoughts back to one of the pictures shown tonight, the kind of world we desire or want to live in; a world of Democracy, a world of real Americanism, a world of real Religion put into practice and into active service; a world where religion is no longer a supposition but where religion is made the working machine of every activity; where religion by inspiration and through your home and church and school training will inspire your neighbors, your friends and even will "traditionate" your posterity; for that which is put into practice today shall be in evidence tomorrow. And those of your sons and daughters and the coming generation of their sons and daughters will live by what you put into practice today and by what you are stressing in your daily activities.

 

Mass Production, Harmonization and Cooperation
Will Solve Every Problem

Then I say, mass production and harmonization and cooperation will solve your every problem; will adjust matters satisfactorily for you! When the seed of this Young America of tomorrow shall have been brought to fruition and all of her subjects shall have become to be the personification of real Democracy, this of which you, My Fellow Citizens, Hearers and Friends, have seen tonight in evidence, will be the experience of tomorrow; will not merely an expression as a demonstration as you saw the portrait of your future America a little while ago in the "Rosebuds", a few of the "Rosebuds" of the Promised Land I mean, of the Ulster County here how they unify and work in unison for one common purpose to help to bring about a Real Democracy that reveres our Stars and Stripes.

Can you not see the outward expression of the emotion of the children, the "Rosebuds" and others, whensoever Old Glory flows even through the motion picture? Can you not see what it really means to train a child in the way that he or she should go? When they are old they will not depart from it.

I have quickened, yea, I have awakened the Spirit of Real Americanism into the hearts and lives of millions so that they might express our citizenry presently, but more expressively and stressfully in reality in the future!

 

Even Little Children Are Converted into Real Americanism

Then I say, it is a privilege to live in such a Recognition, to build upon such a Foundation as this one, where by inspiration even the little children are converted into real Americanism, even as the revivalists of yesterday were trying to convert the people into religion. That is what I AM talking about, to make real citizens for the future, to be Real Ambassadors of Democracy, to be real teachers of Democracy that the real future of the world might be a Democracy of Americanism put into practice legally or politically!

By this we shall have a Righteous Government. For this cause we assemble from time to time, stressing Righteous Government, for we have it in action and in evidence and in experience but we desire to transmit it and reincarnate it in and into others so that they might be partakers of a real democracy in the future and lift up a Standard second to none, where all so-called national abstractions can unite in one great big Democracy and bring an abolition to all adverse and subversive tendencies of Hitlerism and of all of those enemies to Democracy, so that we might be the representatives of that for which you all have prayed, not only the Flag you revere, but that for which you all have prayed: that long-sought-for Kingdom to come and the Will be done on earth as it is in heaven!

 

No Races, Creeds and Colors in the Suppositional Heaven

Out of all of our religions of the past and the present we are sure that there is not a real true religion that believes when you get to heaven there would be division between races, creeds and colors; but every religion believeth they all believe whichever when you get to heaven, even from that suppositional version, you all will unite together and be as one man at Jerusalem. According to your religious belief then, imbibe the Spirit and the Meaning of the Fundamentals for which your belief is inspired, and realize that as you desire to be in the future religiously and angelically when you get to heaven, so you should be here and now by uniting together! Can you not see the mystery?

These little children know within themselves according to the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST and according to the Scripture as handed down traditionally, that there should be no division among the people of a democracy. But religion through a real conversion of the teaching of the Holy Bible will bring you into this Recognition and into such a Fellowship where you will unite together for one common purpose domestically and nationally and internationally, and cause yourselves to know no race, creed or color. That is what I AM talking about! And when this is done we will bring an end to all strife and confusion among our nation, for this nation under GOD will have this New Birth of Freedom of which Abraham Lincoln told them.

Abraham Lincoln spoke of the nation, the whole nation, having a New Birth of Freedom, and we, the American people, who are representing this present and future Democracy of Perfection, mean to see to it that our future generation will have this New Birth of Freedom, whereby they as American citizens will unite together for one common purpose and there will be no division among us!

 

Even Our President Called For No Prejudice and Segregation

You remember, of a recent date our chief executive of our nation and the commander-in-chief of our army and navy said,

'Now is the time we should not tolerate the slightest reflection of prejudice and division. Now is the time to bring an abolition to every sense of division and unite together for one common purpose.'


This may have been motivated by the spirit of this great emergency, but I have long since declared and I re-declare the same,

'Man's extremity is GOD'S Opportunity!'


Therefore, GOD has an Opportunity to usher in Unification and Harmonization and Cooperation, and even usher in the system of Mass Production by our chief executive!

It cannot be criticized. If it is essential in the time of an extreme emergency, it truly is essential at the time when there is no emergency, so that we can be ready to meet the emergency if it would haply or happen to arise. Aren't you glad?

Then I say, we shall have a Righteous Government, for I have brought the nations of this Democracy together so that we might merge into one big Democracy and be just one nation; one nation, one tongue and one people! For this cause I proposed the Unification of the Three Americas and the Passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill to bring an abolition to every sense of division among you! I proposed the Enactment of the Bill of Rights in every state in the Union and in every community! I proposed the Impregnation of Equality in and at all of your private dinner and breakfast tables and in all in all society! I proposed to unite together for one common purpose by the spirit of your Savior and you will have the victory over the common internal and external enemy that may rise against you!

 

Old Glory the Flag of All Nations

Then I say, One Nation, One Language, One Tongue and One Flag! When this shall have been established effectively in the hearts and lives of all humanity, Old Glory shall flow as One Flag for all nations; and One Language shall be spoken for each and all of them, and we all will understand each other better!

Why is it America is suggested? Why is it that America and the American Language are the points that we consider stressfully? Because in and under this Democracy every person has a right according to his or her own religious conviction, to serve GOD, and be not molested nor embarrassed, but to have the protection of our Constitution. For this cause I have stressed this country and this language and this flag as the Hope of the Redemption of all civilization, when they learn to live Constitutionally, Evangelically and express a Real Democracy.

Oh, how glorious it will be when all government universally shall have imbibed the Spirit of Mine and developed into a Real Democracy according to our American Constitution! All of the subjects of this nation will have the Victory over depressions, will have the Victory over adverse and undesirable conditions, for GOD Himself in consciousness will be with them, and Peace and Pleasure shall be for each and all of them, and all will have the Abundance of the Fullness for it will be a Peaceful Reign of CHRIST for one thousand years!

That is the Administration that I AM promulgating in the hearts and lives and hearing of My hearers so that they might imbibe the Spirit of Righteousness through our Democracy and develop the Spirit of Americanism through this great Conversion by living Soberly, Righteously and Godly; for a real Democracy and Christianity, they are synonymous.

 

Our Forefathers Came Here Seeking Religious Freedom

Take these thoughts to consideration. Why is it that we stress the two as one? It is because by the Spirit of the Presence of GOD, the forefathers of those who are representing this Democracy, came seeking religious freedom. This country was developed and revered for the religious freedom its Constitution giveth. Therefore, I say, when you find a nation, or government whichever, that has a Constitution that will give each and every subject their religious freedom and help them to develop themselves and increase in knowledge and understanding, they are helping their subjects to a Real Freedom that non other can give them!

You could not be free under Hitler, and a good many of the other nations at large, because you would be obliged to serve GOD according to the government or according to some special form of worship. But under this Democracy you have the privilege to do it, every subject, whether you be Catholics, Protestants or Jews, or even if you are Mohammedans, if you represent Buddhism, our Constitution gives you the self-same Freedom and a chance to work out your own soul's Salvation with fearing and with trembling. Can you not see the mystery? And giving you this chance and you putting it into practice, you will eventually bring forth the CHRIST within to fruition, from whatsoever religious abstraction you may represent; because that Seed Idea of the CHRIST implanted in the soil of your soul, if you are governed by your Highest Intuition, if you will move voluntarily and volitionally, you will bring forth that Higher Calling within to fruition that will give you the Victory over the doubts and fears and misconceptions of mortality! Can you not see the mystery?

 

GOD Is With You If You Are Sincere In Your Conviction

By this you will have the Victory over every difficulty and over all of your adverse and undesirable conditions, because GOD Himself is with you in your conscientious sincere religious conviction, it matters not what it may be. It may not be the real one; it does not make any difference. It does not make any difference so long as you are true, true to your religious conviction. Be devout, be substantiated in faith, be unshaken in confidence and be governed by your highest intuition within, and pray to GOD the way you know how to pray, in all sincerity, until HE leads you victoriously from one degree of Grace to another. And when you are lifted and passed from one Grace or spiritual school to another, as in your grammar school when you pass from one grace or one grade to another, it does not say that the first was not all right to lead you on to a higher grade.

Then I say,

'Let every nation, every tribe on this terrestrial ball, bring forth the Royal Diadem and Crown Him LORD of all!'


If you are sincere, if you are true, matters not what your religious conviction may be, put out the best that is in you and be true to it, until that best will produce something else better. Even if it is very good and if it is not the best, be sincere and the best will come by being true to that which you do know and by praying, living and devoting your mind and attention sincerely and conscientiously in the way you know to pray.

 

To Advance Be Guided by Your Highest Intuition

I need not say more, for this is a School of Learning. To advance from one degree to another, to give you your real emancipation, you must be governed by your highest intuition to bring forth the Highest within you to fruition so that that within you may crack the shell of mortal limitation and give you a New Birth of Freedom.

Abraham Lincoln spoke of a New Birth of Freedom, but that first birth of freedom that he was giving was not the Birth of Freedom of which he was speaking. That was the first step as a slight sketch as a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain of a percent of the mystery; but he spoke definitely of a New Birth of Freedom a Freedom that GOD would give!

Jesus spoke of it. Jesus said,

'Come unto Me all ye that labor",


in other words,

'that are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My Yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I AM Meek and Lowly in Heart and thou shalt find rest for thy soul.'


Can you not see the mystery?

The first one that is given is a less one than the second. Can you not see the mystery? Jesus said,

'. . . I will give you rest.'


Then,

'Take My Yoke upon you and learn of Me . . . and thou shalt find rest for thy soul!'

So it is a privilege to find that Rest for yourself. But the first step, you may get a little rest in person. You may get a little personal vacation, a little personal relaxation; and if you have been sick or afflicted you may get a little personal recuperation. But when you learn of ME, I will let you find that Rest for your soul and not only for the rest of the body alone as the first one was!

 

Young America and New America

I need not say more, I do not wish to bore you. But it is stressful to be considered, what it really means for the future America. I heard the beautiful songs of the "Rosebuds" and the "Crusaders" say,

'We are Young America, We are New America",


because by the Spirit of True Americanism they are truly converted. That is why they are Young America; and as they are governed by their highest intuition under this Democracy and protected by our Constitution when they move volitionally and spontaneously they will eventually bring forth the CHRIST within them to fruition. Then they have the Victory!

Take these thoughts to consideration and live in this Recognition, and as you see the children of men uniting together for one common purpose you will rejoice for the future of our Democracy; how we will be One Nation of every so-called racial abstraction, of every so-called national abstraction; for truly if you take it from a personal point of view, not any of you were original Americans according to the mortal version, but you are Americans because you have imbibed the Spirit of Americanism and because you have lived in America from your early days of childhood, a good many, and from your ancestors who lived here before you came. But originally there are but a limited few who were humanly speaking original Americans, matters not what nationality or racial abstraction you may be!

 

A Foundation for Post-war Days

Therefore, that foolishness of looking at races, creeds and colors and divisions among us, must be eliminated once and forever and we must Unite Together for One Common Purpose for the Future, and the Post-war Days will have a Foundation upon which to build according to My Teaching, with the Spirit of Mass Production and the Spirit of Harmonization and the Spirit of True Americanism! And the peoples of the future Democracy will be as One Man at Jerusalem, as I have demonstrated in the Sample and the Example among all of My Following! And in this Administration, this one of which I AM now speaking that is not far distant, there will be no such a thing as relief rolls having the loafers and good-for-nothing, impractical and unconstitutional subjects under this Democracy going around soliciting, begging and stealing; trying to live on something that they are not entitled to! But I will Convert them as I have converted Millions of others, into Real Americanism and into Real Christianity, or Real Religion, so that they will live according to the Teaching of the Scripture, which is to say, according to the Golden Rule with Arbitration and Harmonization and Cooperation, to bring about Mass Production continually and keep an abolition to all scarcity, limitations, lacks and wants among this nation. I thank you!
