Pennsylvania.

(Mr. Peter speaks firstly as follows:)

PEACE, FATHER and PEACE, MOTHER and PEACE, EVERYONE: Now, FATHER, I would like to ask if our beloved MOTHER, our Blessed, Holy, Virgin Bride which we also love and adore for Her Virtue and Purity I ask, maybe SHE may condescend to have a word to say. I thank YOU, FATHER. I thank YOU, MOTHER.

(Thunderous applause rings out as our Beloved MOTHER after a short pause rises to speak as follows:)

PEACE FATHER, Peace to our Visiting Guests and Friends, Peace Everyone: We are indeed glad to be here this evening, that we may all break bread together in Unison, for when people are eating together they do have the feeling of being One with one another and truly, that is what the world needs today, Unity and Peace. (Thunderous applause sanctions this.)

I cannot say much after having heard the various guests speak, and especially after hearing FATHER speak on International Peace. FATHER stresses International Peace because that is what the world wants and that is what We have to offer to the world!

Under the Jurisdiction of FATHER DIVINE, people of all levels of society have come together in Unity under the FATHERHOOD of GOD and exemplifying the BROTHERHOOD of man; and we are glad to have you here this evening that you might see for yourself the Abundance of the material blessings that are ours, who adhere to the Teaching of FATHER DIVINE. (Again loud applause rings out.)

The MILLIONS of followers that FATHER DIVINE has throughout the world have given HIM nothing. They have come to HIM with bodies sickly and depressed and under-privileged and HE has HEALED and BLESSED them! ("So true!" came the sanction.) And people have come to HIM because they have found no solution in the world to their problems, but in HIM they have found that solution! And as HE has brought Peace and Happiness to those who are under His Jurisdiction, so can the WORLD have the SELF-SAME THING if they would but humble themselves and observe what HE is trying to show the world today! (Loud applause sanctions this.)

The world wants Brotherhood, the world wants Honesty, the world wants Competence and the world wants Truth. The followers of FATHER DIVINE did not have these things until they came to FATHER DIVINE! ("So true!" again came the sanction.) We had nothing! I mean, FATHER DIVINE has given us everything. That is why we love HIM! That is why we adore HIM! (Thunderous applause and cheers ring throughout the Holy Communion Hall.) That is why we magnify HIS HOLY NAME because HE has the solution to the World's problems today, in business, profession, labor and trade, and in the international problems!

So we thank YOU, FATHER Dear, for YOUR Love and YOUR Mercy to all humanity, and we thank YOU for condescending to come to serve these gentlemen today, because no doubt many have read of YOU and heard of YOU but they never have seen YOU until tonight. Thank YOU, FATHER!
