An Air view of a part of
The Mount of the House of the Lord
During the course of the Holy Communion, a follower testified of how FATHER'S Spirit is working in the South, in Miami, Florida; stating that both complexions are not allowed to mix, and if they do so, they are fined one hundred dollars. He further stated that despite the situation, the followers of FATHER DIVINE have a mixed group in the meetings and enact the Bill of Rights, and so far they have been unmolested, which he attributed to the Spirit of FATHER DIVINE working in the hearts and minds of the children of men, entering in even though the door is apparently shut.
At the conclusion of this beautiful testimony of thanksgiving and praise, an inspirational composition was sung to bear out the fact that FATHER has said that HE will have it in the furthest parts of the South even as HE has it on His immediate Staff; thus Righteousness Marches On! Read this glorious Sermon, for truly the Words of GOD are Spirit and Life!
We thank THEE, our Great Conquering King!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and following is the inspirational composition sung just before FATHER arose to speak.)
'Away down in Texas, and in the furthest parts of the South,
They shall eat and drink together
These Words came out of GOD'S Mouth!
There will be no more race riots and lynching,
There will be no more division and strife;
When they recognize GOD'S Body, they will value each other's life.
FATHER will make them love each other so much,
With or without an anti-lynching bill,
They will know they are Brothers, and will not desire to kill!
Away down in Texas, and in the furthest parts of the South,
They will enact the Bill of Rights in every community;
Racism shall be wiped out!'
(FATHER speaks as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! Here we all are again. There I sit and stand to those of you in whom I AM! At this particular instance I have arisen to verify in other words, endorse that little composition and also the statement of the last speaker: In all parts of the Country as I have it here jurisdictionally, so shall it be! There will be no more division and strife! There will be no more races, creeds and colors, for the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose with which you are impregnated, shall be universally established and all mankind shall realize GOD is in the land!
These are not mere words to be heard, but as a Sample and as an Example, as sketches and reflections of the Universal Expression for the future, and of the blueprint of the world in which we shall live universally! Aren't you glad?
We are forming these expressions in this Laboratory of Salvation, yea, in this Studio where we are shaping and forming the likeness of the Perfect American as an expression of the Perfect Universal Citizenry that shall be established universally. Aren't you glad? It may not seem as if though I AM moving in the world of business, profession, labor and trade, but the Sample and the Example I have exhibited; I have reincarnated and I have materialized it and you are
By this, others will realize there is a reality in that of which we are stressing, for others are becoming infected with this great mental and spiritual Contagion. Aren't you glad?
It is a Privilege! It is a privilege to observe the Mystery and see what GOD is doing among His people! The Sample and the Example is Exemplified! The Sample is Exemplified and the Example is also Exemplified! It is Materialized; it is Reproduced and Personified, and those who visualize it can in turn in like manner reproduce it and materialize and even personify that which has been Personified!
By concentration through harmonization and by participation and co-operation you are partaking of that on which you are concentrating! The thing you vividly visualize, you tend to materialize!
Then I say, it is a privilege to observe the Mystery and to see the Goodness of GOD to this people as exemplified how men should live upon the face of the earth! That was My Work and Mission; yea, it was My Mission from the beginning of the creation; not to teach the people how to live in heaven, but how to live on earth and make the earth a heaven!
So it is a privilege to observe it, to see how marvelous it is even presently; not only mentally and spiritually, but materially and externally; and wheresoever you may go, you can see the effect of My Work and My Mission in the midst of the congregation of the people. It is contagious! Therefore, supernaturally and scientifically I AM Working! Some may look upon ME as a Person and consider, "What can HE do?" For Righteousness' sake and for the good of humanity and the Goodness of GOD to be established, all things are possible and I accomplish that for which I CAME! Aren't you glad?
I AM bringing about that Universal Brotherhood of Man; bringing about the conscious recognition and the realization of the FATHERHOOD of GOD for which you all have sought and mourned because you found it not. I AM bringing into the conscious recognition and the realization of millions, the Actual Presence of GOD as being the FATHER of their household and the HEAD of their business, of their labor and of their trade and of their professions and of all of their activities! Aren't you glad?
I AM convincing humanity GOD is no longer a supposition, GOD is a Living Reality! GOD has been made Real, Tangible and Practical! The Word truly has been made FLESH and dwells among us! I heard one say,
'And you can behold the Glory as that of the only begotten of the FATHER, full of Grace and of Truth.'
You have never heard of such Honor as exemplified and as imposed upon ME! It
is full of Grace and of Truth.
Critics are obliged to see, it is some Truth about it! Aren't you glad? They all will eventually realize it, even as you have verified it and personified it. By the Personification of that which you have visioned, I have brought millions into the recognition and the realization of the same, and now you are enjoying a closer walk with GOD, with calm and heavenly frames; having that Light that shines upon the road that leads you to the LAMB! Aren't you glad?
I AM making frames physical bodies calm and heavenly, submissive, meek and sweet, causing their minds to be your Creator's Throne, where CHRIST alone is heard to speak and where Jesus reigns alone! That is what it is all about!
Therefore, you can see as exemplified, and what I AM turning out here and what I AM holding here as a nucleus of a great Universal Democracy! Others will come and vision it and copy after it; it will bring Peace on Earth and Good Will to Men!
Little did you think a few years ago, Democracy as exemplified among you would be established; in other words, little did you think that the recognition of GOD'S Presence would be so vividly manifested and impregnated in the minds of the children of men in places where it had not been; but oh, how glorious it is to realize, GOD is in the midst of this people and shaping and forming the fashion of His Government such as we shall have Universally! Whether it is called spiritual or political, it matters not! It shall be, and it shall go from shore to shore and from land to land!
This I said of a very recent date in discussing the Universality of the Work and the Mission of your Humble Servant. I said, I AM not confined to that of those who are My followers alone! I AM not confined to those whom I have contacted! I AM not confined to those who have communicated or corresponded with ME! Since GOD IS OMNIPRESENT, I REMAIN HERE EVER PRESENT, but OMNIPRESENTLY I speak, for I AM UNIVERSAL!
The Governor of Georgia has never met ME Personally. He has never corresponded with ME literarily, or I have never communicated with him by telegram, neither by telephone from a material or literal point of view; but something has gone to him and he is speaking as no man has in that part of the Country especially as the Chief Executive of the great state of Georgia. I said in that composition:
'Away down in Texas, and in the furthest parts of the South, they shall eat and drink together These Words came out of GOD'S Mouth!'
They shall eat and drink together! They shall live together! They shall be One
Nation, Indivisible; the first step towards bringing about the Universal Brotherhood
of Man! After they realize they are One Nation, Indivisible, according to our
Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag, they also shall realize they are One Family,
for they shall be Unified together and all shall see and know definitely, OUT
OF THE BLOOD OUT OF THESE VEINS THE SAME BLOOD IN THESE VEINS CREATED ALL NATIONS
OF MEN TO DWELL UPON THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH! Therefore, they are all HEIRS
and JOINT HEIRS together and they shall LOVE and RESPECT each and everybody and
especially each other when they know them better. I thank you!
