Unity Mission Church, Philadelphia,Auditorium
As the Annual Business Meeting was postponed from March 2nd of last week, until tonight, March 9th, a part of the Church Discipline, Constitution and By-Laws had been read the previous week; therefore, tonight the rest of them were read. At the conclusion of same, the regular business of the meeting proceeded; the reading of the Secretary's minutes of the previous meeting, etc.. Then until the Personal arrival of FATHER and MOTHER and members of the Secretarial Staff, a Praise service was conducted. However, after FATHER and MOTHER were seated on the rostrum, the President, Mr. Simon Peter, stepped forward to the pulpit to speak as follows:
Peace, FATHER; Peace, MOTHER; Peace Everyone: FATHER, we have conducted the Meeting up so far as we can go, and I thank YOU, FATHER, now, for YOU to take over. I thank YOU, FATHER.
It was then decided as FATHER and MOTHER had not Personally heard the President's Report nor the Report of the Treasurer, neither the Report of the Secretary with regard to the Branch Network of Churches here and abroad, that they be read again. This was met with unanimous approval of the Church members. Accordingly, the President's Report was read firstly as follows:
President's Report of the Unity Mission Churches of New York and Pennsylvania - for the fiscal year ending March 2nd, 1954 A.D.F.D.
Peace, FATHER and MOTHER; Peace, Everyone: We have been blessed by our beloved Pastor and His Holy Virtuous Bride with us throughout the past year, blessing us with Their Personal Presence, giving us precious Salvation and Peace and Health that gives eternal Life. We humbly thank YOU, Holy FATHER, our Pastor.
The seventh Anniversary of the Marriage of the Lamb and the Holy Virtuous Bride was celebrated here and thousands came from far and near to celebrate with us. Delicious Banquets were served and praises rang out throughout the Church honoring our LORD and Savior, FATHER DIVINE, and the Blessed Virtuous Holy Bride.
The Consecration and Dedication of the Country Estate of FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE, better known as Woodmont, the Mount of the House of the LORD, and the International House was also celebrated here. Our Beloved Pastor and Bride served us in Person, blessing us with delicious banquets and Words of Life, and members of our Church giving Praises and Thanksgiving to their LORD and Savior, FATHER DIVINE.
Throughout the year, ministers came and dined with us and gave us inspiring words. Among this group was Rabbi Moses J. Burak, of Philadelphia who gave us a talk on Judaism.
The annual Business Men's banquet was also held in our Church, at which time many business men praised FATHER and MOTHER for the Work that is being accomplished in the world of business through FATHER'S Mind and Spirit.
Our gymnasium has been very active, many groups coming and playing here. It has been a great means of keeping down juvenile delinquencies in this area, which I know the people thank FATHER DIVINE for.
Our Free School here in our class rooms our Church has set aside, has been a blessing to those seeking to better themselves by coming to the evening school classes; they too thank our Beloved Pastor for giving them this opportunity for improvement.
Many groups have come from various schools and colleges to our Auditorium and Holy Communion Hall to see Democracy in Action and to study our Faith and see and hear our Beloved Savior and our Holy Virtuous MOTHER.
Our Church has been blessed to hear the precious Words of our LORD and Savior, as well as those of our Holy MOTHER given at other Peace Mission Churches and Extensions and to hear songs of praise and testimonies from our foreign Churches and in America by wire recordings.
Thousands haven been fed in our Holy Communion Hall and in our Snack Bar. Our Beloved Savior has thrown open His Private Banquet Table to the public as well as to His followers. Many have come into our Church seeking this Truth, and finding It, having gained Peace and Health and Happiness. Our Pastor, FATHER DIVINE'S Work and Mission is growing by leaps and bounds here in America and in His foreign Churches throughout the world. We have felt FATHER'S and MOTHER'S Spiritual Presence throughout the year, as well as in the work accomplished through our Branches in New York, both at One Hundred and Seventeenth Street and Twenty-eighth Street.
Faithfully submitted,
(Mr.) Simon Peter, President
(At this time a motion was made and seconded that the President's Report be accepted as read. A vote was taken and the motion was unanimously passed.)
Next, Miss E. Ferne, Secretary, gave a report on the Foreign Network and other Branches of the Unity Mission Church, as follows:
Peace, FATHER; Peace, MOTHER; Peace, Everyone: I thank FATHER for a brief Report on the Branch Churches of the Unity Mission Church, as follows: Report of the Unity Mission Church, Home and Training School, Annex, on 21st Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
This Church being an Annex of the Unity Mission Church, Home and Training School, Inc., of Pennsylvania, has been engaged in charitable work throughout the year, as its Mother Church. We are thankful to report that all expenses incurred in the upkeep of this Church and in the charitable work carried on have been paid the Church itself being tax exempt.
The Unity Mission Church, Home and Training School, Inc., Bible Institute, on N.16th Street Philadelphia, Pa. is an auxiliary of the Unity Mission Churches and there has been activity in Bible Study work conducted there during the year; also the Free Library there is still maintained, which is equipped with an ample supply of Holy Bibles, the King James version, and Bibles of other religions as well; also many educational books for the use of those desiring advancement in their general education.
The Institute is supported by voluntary contributions from immediate members. It is tax exempt and is free and clear of all indebtedness.
The Unity Mission Church, Home and Training School, on 8th Street, Oakland, California was incorporated under the State Laws of California and is progressing nicely in endeavoring to carry on the same charitable work as the Mother Church.
The Unity Mission Church, Home and Training School, Chicago, Illinois is also pleased to report that FATHER'S Blessings have been present with them in their regular Holy Communion Services which are open to followers, members, sympathizers and strangers alike. They also conduct Bible Classes and Praise Services.
The Unity Mission Church, Home and Training School of Australia, Upwey, Victoria which is a suburb of Melbourne, has become a potential outpost in carrying on charitable work in FATHER'S Mind and Spirit even as here in America. And this Church in all of its connections or wherever they are functioning have on display at all times the American Flag, in accordance with our Church Discipline and By-Laws and in fulfillment of FATHER DIVINE'S Prediction that eventually the symbol of the Flag of the Free shall be seen in every land Americanism, Christianity, Democracy!
Throughout the year we have received recordings from them, of the various Church Services, and they have enjoyed recordings of services conducted here in America.
The Unity Mission Church in Goeppingen (near Stuttgart), in the U.S. Zone of Germany also proudly displays the American Flag in all of its connections. The Report of their first Annual Business Meeting can be found printed in The New Day under date March 6th, 1954 A.D.F.D. under Righteousness Marches On! During their celebration of the Seventh Anniversary it is interesting to note the children at Hochdorf, Reichenbach, Geislingen and elsewhere gathered together, and they said they learned much English because they heard only this language from the Sisters from England that were visiting; and also they learn English from the recordings which they receive of the Services from America FATHER'S and MOTHER'S Words of Spirit and Life, as well as the Songs of Praise from the Devotional Hour, etc.. They too, sent recordings of their Services from Germany, some of the testimonies and songs being in English as well as in German, which, they say, makes them very proud and happy, because they realize that as FATHER says, there shall eventually be one language, one tongue and one people, and they recognize that the English language will become the universal tongue.
In Heiden, Switzerland, they are seeking to further establish FATHER'S Work and Mission under the Unity Mission Network of Churches and they are progressing steadily as the recognize FATHER'S Ever and Omnipresence is working with them at all times.
Further Reports of the above mentioned Churches will no doubt be forthcoming throughout the future fiscal year, as well as pictures of the events taking place in same, and will appear in the pages of The New Day whenever possible.
Let us say in closing, that the Swiss Air Transport Co., Ltd., called the main Church here today from their offices in New York City, seeking information as to whether any of the followers from Germany or Switzerland were planning to fly over for FATHER'S and MOTHER'S Eighth Anniversary Celebration, and if so, they stated, they would be more than pleased to do everything in their power to see that their trip was made pleasant and every arrangement taken care of. Truly we do know that FATHER'S Work and Mission is growing by leaps and bounds and His Churches the world over are receiving universal acclaim, respect and recognition!
Respectfully submitted (verbally),
(Miss) E. Ferne, Secretary
At this point the President asked for a motion, and a motion was made and seconded that the Secretary's Report on the Unity Mission Network of Churches elsewhere in the United States and abroad, be accepted and entered on the record. The motion was carried unanimously. The President then asked for the Treasurer's Report, which was read by the Assistant Treasurer, Miss Wonderful Love, as follows:
Treasurer's Report for the Unity Mission Church, Home and Training School, Inc., of Pennsylvania, and the Unity Mission, Inc., of New York, and its Network of Churches for the fiscal year ending March 2, 1954 A.D.F.D.
The Unity Mission Church, Home and Training School, Inc., is conducted on a non-profit basis, according to the Church Discipline, Constitution and By-Laws. Voluntary donations are accepted only from its immediate members for the upkeep of the Church. All who partake of meals served in the Church edifice are permitted to donate for same. There is absolute no soliciting or no collections taken in any of the Church services.
The Church pays cash for all items purchased and in this way the Church is free and clear of debt at all times. There are sufficient funds in the treasury to meet all current expenses.
The aged and infirm are lovingly cared for on a charitable basis.
Our Beloved Pastor, the Founder of this great Peace Mission Movement does not accept a salary or donations for His untiring Service to all. HE has declared, "I AM a Free Gift to the world, gratis to all mankind."
Likewise, Officers, Trustees and Co-workers donate their services gratis. In return for their service the immediate co-workers receive food and shelter and everything necessary for their comfort and convenience.
May we, the Co-workers and Members, take this opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation to YOU, our Beloved FATHER DIVINE and our Adorable MOTHER DIVINE for the establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth among men. We thank YOU, FATHER Dear, for the priceless privilege of dining at YOUR Holy Communion Table, where all so-called rich and poor, high and low, and of every so-called race, creed and color may sit together as one man at Jerusalem and partake of the limitless Blessings YOU so bountifully supply. In all humility, we thank YOU, FATHER and MOTHER Dear, to make us worthy to be with YOU.
Reverently and respectfully submitted,
(Miss) Anne Henderson, Treasurer
At this juncture a motion was called for, and accordingly a motion was made and seconded that the Treasurer's Report be accepted as read, with any necessary corrections. The motion was carried unanimously.
The President then called for the reading of the list of Officers and Trustees whose term of office expires at this time. Miss E. Ferne read the list as follows:
Peace, FATHER; Peace, MOTHER; Peace, Everyone: At this time we thank FATHER to read the list of the Officers and Trustees whose terms are expiring at this time; will they please stand?
Officers:
President Mr. Simon Peter; Vice President Miss Dorothy Darling; 2nd Vice President
Mr. Richard Grevious; 3rd Vice President Mr. John S. Chalk; Secretary Miss
Elizabeth Ferne; Asst. Secretary Miss Willing Love.
Trustees:
Miss Truthful Baby, Mr. Philip Life, Mr. Sidney Thomas, Miss Glad Tidings,
Miss E. Ferne, Miss D. Darling, Miss Wonderful Love.
(The Officers and Trustees stood up as their names were called; then Miss Ferne said:)
At this time while you are viewing those of the candidates, thank YOU, FATHER, YOU gave a few words last year that should be forever stamped in our memory, concerning the impersonality of holding an office in our Church; and I thank YOU, FATHER, to read just a few brief Words that YOU gave, that we might refresh our minds concerning our obligation.
(FATHER nods in assent, and Miss Ferne reads FATHER'S Words into the record, as follows:)
"I would like to say, I believe we all enjoyed the meeting, and I further wish to say, we wish to keep it up! (Loud applause resounds from the enthusiastic and joyful Congregation.) We want you to feel we will be able to say, from now henceforth: One will serve All and All will serve One; and ONE is for ALL and ALL are for the One! (Again applause resounds.) So long as you recognize this great At-one-ment to which I have brought you all to, and stay self-denied, consecrated, a living sacrifice and unified, you will rejoice and be as pleased to serve under one of the officials that may be elected, as you would another, or the other, for you realize in the Prayer Jesus in the Sonship Degree prayed, "I pray that they may be ONE even as We are One!" We are happy to say by the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose all things are possible, and nothing can be restrained from you to do, that which you have imagined to do when you are ONE in Reality! ("So true!" agreed the Congregation.)
I further wish to say that the election of these Officers each of you it is for the purpose of placing each of you in some capacity as Co-workers and as Officers together, to let you see and know there shall be no divisibility among us. We represent E Pluribus Unum and we represent the very same as inscribed on our coin otherwise, "In GOD We Trust!"
We are happy to say, as you have been elected for the next Annual Year, in other words, the next Fiscal Year, it is not for the purpose of you feeling as though you are elected as an Officer for eternity! One may fill the office one year, and the next year, if it is proven to be pleasing to the Board of Trustees and the members of the Church to re-elect you, it is a blessing to you; and if it happens to be that the Officers of the Board of Trustees shall have been re-elected through and in some other personage know within yourself the President is the President! (Loud applause sanctioning this, rings out.) The President of the United States, though there have been many Presidents elected and have filled the Office of President, but when he is filling that Office of the Presidency he is known to be The President! You do not customarily say, "A President", but he is THE PRESIDENT! Aren't you glad? ("So glad!" came the reply.)
An officer is not elected to fill that particular official duty eternally. You have been honored to be elected for one year, and if you prove yourself efficient and proficient and prove yourself desired and desirable, it may be possible to elect you several different times.
The President of the United States has succeeded himself, on occasions, the same as Miss Blessed Mary did, but it does not say that any one officer of our Church is expected to fill the office throughout eternity! ("So true!" sanctions the Congregation.) Some may not fill it but for one term for the time of that election. Some may be re-elected and re-elected and RE-ELECTED, until you find someone whom you think can fill the office efficiently; then they may be elected to fill your place, or their place!
So therefore, I say, it is a Blessing to live in the Kingdom of GOD, of which the Democracy in which we live is a sketch and a reflection of a percent of a fraction of a grain of what we really represent! for AMERICANISM, CHRISTIANITY, JUDAISM, DEMOCRACY and BROTHERHOOD are SYNONYMOUS! For this cause, Democracy in its expression, when it is demonstrated perfectly, it does reflect a Sketch and a Reflection of the Kingdom of GOD, and how you may be elected and fill offices in your Church and in your connections, as pre-evidence of the Universal Establishment of a True Democracy, where the Kingdom of GOD on Earth is established! (Thunderous applause resounds.)
I need not say more at this instance, but I thought to drop these few thoughts for your consideration. As Members of this Church you may find yourselves desirous of electing different officers, but whomsoever you choose to elect, be as you have heard ME say: Work with them systematically, sympathetically and harmoniously, Democratically and Evangelically, and you will be Successful, Prosperous and Happy! (Loud applause, sanctioning this, resounds.)
As the Vice President said, when personality gets into anything, then MY SPIRIT may get OUT of it! for I have called you up HIGHER to TRANSCEND ALL PERSONALITY and ALL INDIVIDUALITY and even transcending the Unindividuality and the Impersonality of the Individuals and live in the Actual Presence of GOD without a visible concept in your consideration; recognizing the Infinite and Omnipotent and Omniscient Presence of your Savior, now, henceforth and forever! I thank you."
(The above mentioned Words of FATHER can be found in the Annual Meeting of last year, as published in the March 7, 1953 issue of The New Day, on page nineteen.)
As Miss Ferne finished reading, our Beloved Savior arose, to the supreme delight of all, to speak as follows:
Peace Everyone! At this instant I have arisen to say, the last reading of the statement as made, may be re-considered and reiterated and re-established and recorded as for this meeting and for many more meetings to come, to keep personality and individuality out of the way and off of the screen and established no longer in your consideration, but the recognition of the Impersonality and Unindividuality of All Personages, though perfectly manifested, so that that which is personal and individual, with such a nature and characteristics, might not be stressed in your memory and considered, but stressful to be considered, the IMPERSONALITY and UNINDIVIDUALITY and REALITY of that of which you have stressed personally; have emphasized and requested let it be recognized as an IMPERSONAL ISSUE. And when this is done, GOD in the midst of you can and will be Recognized, and will be understood, and you will be able to stand in the Presence of GOD undefiled!
By working impersonally, unselfishly, democratically, Evangelically and Brotherly, you will find all of the Powers of Righteousness unselfishly will stand for you! (Loud applause rings out.) And as I have often stressed and reiterated recently, let the Words that came from GOD many years ago,
'Behold, the people is ONE!'
If you are ONE in REALITY, and having brought yourself to your individual and
personal destination, and be unified so consolidatedly as required, naught will
be able to sever you, and you will be blessed in RIGHTEOUSNESS, with the Blessings
of the Declaration of GOD concerning those who were building the Tower of Babel,
trying to build it up into Heaven erroneously; but to you, whatsoever you may
do, it will be done RIGHTEOUSLY, ACCURATELY and PERFECTLY and no longer led erroneously!
( "So true, LORD!" came the sanction.)
How marvelous it is to know you are ONE by living the Constitution, our Church Discipline and our By-Laws. You are ONE by living the Ten Commandments religiously and by living the Sermon on the Mount and by building on such a Foundation that cannot be shaken! When you are ONE to THAT END, as mentioned very recently, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH YOU; for it is written,
'Wheresoever two or three are gathered together in My Name, touching and agreeing upon the one thing that is needful, there I will be in the MIDST of them to bless the needy!'
(Loud applause resounds.) This is true, even though you may not see ME! If your
eyes are blind with materialism and the mortal version so you cannot see ME Impersonally
and Ever Present, it is true I will be in the midst of you to bless the needy!
(Loud applause rings out.)
I will not further go at this instant, but as you all seem to be quite well satisfied with the Officers of this Church that are filling the office now, and the Trustees whose term expires at this present meeting, no doubt you would like to make a move to have others replace those whose term has expired, and replace any of those who might be otherwise eligible or should be discontinued. We do not have to keep Members, Officers or not even Trustees if they are not evidently expressing their desires to remain as they have been, and if they are not present as they have been called to such official duty and such Membership, as it may be whether it be a Membership of the Board of Trustees, or the Membership of the Church, or the Membership of the Officers' Staff of the Board of Trustees. Anyone or everyone you may feel or find that they are INELIGIBLE to fill the Office they have been filling, it is your privilege to DISCONTINUE their service by voting them OUT, if they are not giving service!
Again I would like to say, there are many Officers and Members, as I have often said, that are replaced and sufficient to replace all vacant offices; but if you desire to keep up the good work and always have a-plenty to fill the Office, it is your privilege to re-elect by nomination and election any Officer to fill the ones whose term expires at this meeting. (Loud applause resounds.)
Then I say it is your privilege also to move to that extent or to that end, and to feel and know you are justified and it is justifiable in so doing.
I need not say more at this particular instant, but I rose for that purpose and to let you know we are here to see the good work GO ON, and IT WILL BE GOING ON! (Thunderous applause sanctioning, rings out.) Because of any Officer or Member refusing to attend any of the meetings it does not cause the deterioration of the Wok of the Church and of its Activities, for GOD IS ABSOLUTELY INDEPENDENT AND IS NOT BOUND NOR CONFINED TO INDIVIDUALS! ("So true, GOD Almighty!" came the joyous sanction.)
Now let these thoughts go with you, and if for any cause there be any connected to this Church you desire to have excommunicated, by the violation of any of the laws of the Church or by the failing to attend the meetings, it is your privilege to move and so do, if you wish to.
Take these thoughts to consideration and let this be your Guide, and realize, GOD IN THE MIDST OF YOU IS MIGHTY TO SAVE! but as far as doing anything from a Personal point of view, I need not do so, for the SPIRIT of My Presence and the PRESENCE of My Spirit should have access to work among you and as It works among you it helps to build you up; in other words, it does build you up! When I'M not Personally Present you may be led to speak, to preach, to read, to sing and do many things. Be the SAME when I AM Personally Present as when I AM Personally absent!
Since you have heard the reading of the Minutes and the Reports, and also the Church Discipline, Constitution and By-Laws, it is your privilege now, to vote! I thank you.
(Thunderous applause rings out from the joyous Congregation at these beautiful and instructive Words of Spirit and Life from the Holy Lips of our Beloved Pastor. Then, Miss Ferne, the Secretary, steps forward after the applause has somewhat abated, to speak as follows:)
Peace, FATHER and MOTHER: The nominations are still open for all of the Officers and Trustees whose terms are expiring at this time, and it is the privilege of the Members as well as the Trustees themselves to make the selection. If any of them are not filling Office and have not attended Church and do not do that which you consider a good Member should do, and do not do that which you consider is required of Members on the Board of Trustees to do, it is your privilege and not only your privilege but your duty, to replace them!
All the conscientious Members should watch and see if they (the Officers and Trustees) are doing what is expected of them or not! (Loud applause sanctions this.)
We thank FATHER for those who are concerned to conscientiously and sincerely nominate someone to fill all of the offices that are expiring at this time, and especially those who have failed in their duty. Otherwise, if you are satisfied, we thank FATHER for nominations according to that! Thank FATHER and MOTHER.
(At this point a motion was made by a Member as follows:)
Peace, FATHER and MOTHER: I thank FATHER to nominate Miss Pearl Sweetness to fill the Office of Second Assistant Secretary which is at present vacant.
Another Member: I second the motion.
President: It has been moved and seconded that Miss Pearl Sweetness be elected to fill the Office of Second Assistant Secretary. What is your pleasure? All those in favor let it be known by saying aye.
Congregation: Aye!
President: And raise your right hand. (A unanimous showing of hands were raised. Mr. Peter, the President, then says:) Are there any contrary? (As the Congregation remains silent, he then says:) No contrary. Then the Ayes have it. Thank YOU, FATHER and thank YOU, MOTHER! (Loud applause rings out. Mr. Peter then says:)
We now thank FATHER and MOTHER that nominations are in order for the Office of President. What is your pleasure?
Trustee: Peace, FATHER and Peace, MOTHER: I move that Mr. Simon Peter be elected to succeed himself for another term of office.
Member: I second the motion.
President: It has moved and seconded that Mr. Simon Peter succeed himself. All those in favor, signify by saying aye.
Congregation: Aye!
President: And raise your right hand. (A sea of hands is raised. Mr. Peter then asks:) Any contrary? (There is no answer. Then he says:) No contrary? Then the Ayes have it. I thank YOU, FATHER; I thank YOU, MOTHER. (Again loud applause rings out. Mr. Peter then says:)
We thank FATHER and MOTHER, are there any other nominations or nominees you wish to present for any of the other offices?
Member: Peace, FATHER and Peace, MOTHER: I make a motion that Miss Dorothy Darling succeed herself as Vice President for another term.
Another Member: I second the motion.
President: You have heard the motion. All those in favor please signify by saying aye.
Congregation: Aye!
President: And raise your right hand. (A unanimous showing of hands are raised. Mr. Peter then asks:) Any contrary? (As the Congregation is again silent, he says:) The Ayes have it. I thank YOU, FATHER and I thank YOU, MOTHER. (Loud applause resounds. Mr Peter then asks for any other nominations. As no one moves he again announces that motions are in order for nominees to any of the other offices which are this time vacant.)
Trustee: Peace, FATHER and Peace, MOTHER: As no one seems led to make a motion, I move that all of the other Officers and Trustees whose terms of office expires at this time be blanketed in.
Member: I second that motion.
President: Peace, FATHER; Peace, MOTHER and Peace, Everyone: The motion has been made and seconded that all the other Officers and Trustees whose terms of office expire at this time be blanketed in, as the term was used. All in favor signify by saying, aye.
Congregation: Aye!
President: And the raising of your right hand. (A unanimous showing of hands filled the air. Mr. Peter then asks:) Any contrary? (There is no answer. He than says:) Then the Ayes have it! I thank YOU, FATHER! I thank YOU, MOTHER! (Thunderous applause rings out. Then, Mr. Peter says:)
I thank YOU, FATHER, since this fulfils all of the requirement of the business part of the Annual Meeting, maybe somebody will make a motion that the Meeting be concluded.
Trustee: Peace, FATHER; Peace, MOTHER; Peace, Everyone: I offer a motion that the business part of the meeting be adjourned.
Another Trustee: I second the motion.
President: The motion has been made and seconded that the business part of the Annual Meeting will now be concluded. All in favor please signify by saying, aye.
Congregation: Aye!
President: And by the raising of your right hand, please. (A unanimous showing of hands are raised. Mr. Peter then asks:) Any contrary? (There is no answer. Mr. Peter then says:) Then the Ayes have it and the business part of the Annual Meeting is now concluded. I thank YOU, FATHER and I thank YOU, MOTHER! (Loud applause rings out; then as the bell is heard ringing, over the amplifying system, signifying that the Holy Communion Service was in readiness, FATHER and MOTHER arose and made Their Way, along with Members of the Staff, up to the Office, and from there to the large Holy Communion Hall, where our Beloved Savior and His Spotless Bride condescended to serve Followers, Members and many visitors and strangers alike, a beautiful Banquet of the Abundance of every good thing!
