The Auditorium,
152-160 W. 126th Street, New York City
Exuberant joy and happiness were expressed by one and all who were present on Sunday evening in the 126th St. Auditorium as the hearts desire of the followers and visiting friends was more than satisfied when FATHER made His Personal Appearance in their midst. It was after the dedication of the Madison Avenue Extension, recently taken over by some of the followers, that FATHER returned to 126th Street to serve the midnight Banquet, as HE had afore announced at the afternoon Banquet.
Due to the fact that the Madison Avenue home is not large enough to accommodate the masses that love and enjoy being in FATHER'S Personal Presence every minute, yea, every second if possible -- those who were not able to get a glimpse of HIM Personally rejoiced greatly and were happy in heart when the learned that the evening Banquet was to be served at the regular Banquet hall, where a large number of the coworkers can be accommodated. Therefore, many greeted FATHER upon His Personal arrival and among those present was a group of students, professors, nurses and teachers from Columbia University and other educational institutions, headed by one who is a frequent visitors to our meetings, Mr. Clarence V. Howell.
We are sure that this masterful Message delivered by our dear Savior on this occasion, was taken to consideration by our visitors as well as the followers, for it is a Message worth considering! In order that others might enjoy this Message also, we are privileged to present it to you verbatim as it has been transcribed by the transcriber.
(The foregoing statements come from the transcriber and the following is FATHER'S Message:)
PEACE EVERYONE! Here we all are again; there I sit and stand; here I go and there I come! The Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose is a living reality among us. For this cause you can sing with the spirit of sincerity,
'FATHER is bringing us together in One.'
Not only bringing you together in One, but by the Unity of Spirit, of Mind, of
Aim and of Purpose, you are Unified together, for the Unity of the Spirit and
for the Purpose for which I came, that the "Glory to GOD in the highest
and on earth, Peace, Good Will", might be to men!
This is the purpose for which I came and this is what I AM doing! A little while ago, when I heard the different speeches, I thought of how marvelous it is to be in reality, in the unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, even for the material good and the comfort and convenience we all enjoy by such a privilege.
Just think of being unified together in the unity of Spirit, where you are not one and someone else another; but you are One in Reality, by the unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose. By bringing yourselves together for one common purpose you are dispelling all division among us.
We are bringing an abolition to all division, to all segregation, to all discrimination and to all undesirable conditions by bringing an abolition to those detestable expressions! How marvelous it would be, if our educators of today, could but learn how to unlearn that which they have learned -- especially those things that tend to spell segregation, dissension and separation among the nations of the earth!
If they could and would go to the Seminary of Salvation, of which I AM stressing, and take a practical course in this method of ridding one's self of his destructive and conflicting, detrimental education, and be taught the unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, how marvelous it would be for us!
How glorious it would be if we would make a step in an act to bring about an abolition to all segregation, to all discrimination and to all detestable tendencies, by bringing an abolition to the Cause of such conditions! How glorious it would be, beloved ones, if you would learn to unlearn what you have learned!
You have learned detrimentally to yourself and to the coming generation, that you are of this race and another is of that one. What said Jesus concerning the mystery?
'I pray that they may be One, even as We are One.'
In the unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, I came! Why is it
that Uncle Sam, politically and documentally said: E Pluribus Unum? Why is it
he says politically, the United States of America? Why is it that they are united
together allegedly, if they are not united in reality? They are united theoretically
and documentally, but they may not be united in reality!
I came to unite them together in reality! Ladies and gentlemen, you will never know the reality of the universal Brotherhood of man and the recognition of the Fatherhood of GOD, until you shall have brought an abolition to all of your detrimental education you have learned!
'I pray that they may be One, even as We are One.'
In the unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose I came! It is a matter
of impossibility, with the usage of segregated terms concerning yourself, My
brother, (as FATHER made this remark, HE turned to His right in the direction
of one of the previous speakers, who had in the course of his speech, mentioned
some certain race or color, referring to some special nationality he thought
we and he, himself, were of) -- and others, for you to unify yourself together
as "one man at Jerusalem."
Even by the segregated usage of terms, speaking concerning individuals, you are bringing separation and segregation among yourselves theoretically, and mentally and spiritually firstly! Then it is enacted in Congress and in every other expression! Men tend to legalize prejudice and segregation, and still they will rise in opposition to their own legislative body, and try to bring about a law to put all on equality, according to the Amendments of the Constitution!
'The kingdom that divides against itself, it cannot stand.'
Get at the cause and root it up, and the effect thereof will wane of its abnormal
weight. Take these thoughts to consideration and live Evangelically whole-heartedly,
and you will go back to the Bible from whence you came, and you will be able
to say with the Apostle:
'In Christ they are neither male nor female, they are neither bond nor free, they are neither Jew nor Gentile, but they are all One.'
What a privilege to live in such a recognition, for it brings an abolition to
all barriers and all limitations; it drops the embargo of your mental access
socially, intellectually, financially and otherwise!
If there is a mental and a spiritual embargo of your present existence, you cannot buy a loaf of bread without being segregated! I say, you cannot buy a loaf of bread without being segregated by this useless and meaningless education!
Oh, it is a privilege to know your GOD! In the unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose I came. Out of One Blood GOD formed all nations that dwell upon the face of the earth! Stamp these thoughts down in your vocabularies and in your memory and remember, you cannot overcome prejudice, resentment and anger, nor any of those detestable tendencies, unless you overcome the theory of such, according to the way you have been taught. Now tell the nations of the earth I said it! We shall have One language and One speech, as in the beginning of the creation, and we shall have One nationality, or One race, or One nation, whichever -- matters not what you call it! If you call all of the nationalities and so-called races combined, whatever you call them, if you call them all many different names, I shall not stop nor be discouraged, until we shall have only One!
The time cometh and is near at hand, when men will not even use segregated terms concerning yourself and Myself, if you are a man or a woman -- and I may apparently be the same. That is the only term you will use concerning mankind! Whatever they are by appearance according to the sexes, that is what you will call them by!
Oh, it is a privilege to know what has caused so much bloodshed! It is a privilege to know, you cannot and will not have lasting Peace, so long as there is segregation and discrimination among you; but when you are unified together according to the Gospel, you will eventually join heart and mind with one and all mankind, and there will be no division among you!
When this is accomplished, then and only then can you be real American citizens, much less the real angels of the Kingdom! An American citizen should express his citizenship according to the Constitution, and its Amendments. An American citizen should take on the nature and the characteristics of the Constitution and its Amendments, and bring these qualities to fruition within them!
Unless you can produce and bring to fruition the nature and the spirit and the characteristics of the Constitution and its Amendments, you are not an American citizen individually! To be a real American citizen individually, you should take on the spirit, the mind and the nature and the characteristics of the Declaration of Independence individually, even as the Country declared it as a nation!
What a privilege it is to stand and sit in the Actual Presence of GOD, where the Fount of His Omniscience, even though allegedly illiterate, is flowing free and free-er for one and for all! Aren't you glad?
The hope of your Redemption is to recognize GOD'S Actual Presence and to bring your bodies into subjection to His Omniscience as HE teaches wisdom, over and above the theories and doctrines of men; for their human intellect is but dialects, to MY Understanding. When we unify ourselves together "as one man as Jerusalem"; when you step out on the wave of Time for one common cause, and stand for E Pluribus Unum and become to be real American citizens, by living exactly according to the Constitution and its Amendments, by becoming to be living epistles of the Constitution; then and only then are you real American citizens!
What a privilege to live in such a Recognition, where GOD through His Condescension in Love and Mercy and Tender Compassion has truly come, to teach you wisdom Constitutionally, to teach you wisdom Independently with all of the documents of the Government, that the nature and the characteristics of such a Government as this one might be reincarnated and brought to fruition within yourself, that you might be American citizens in reality!
When this done, and your conversion shall have converted your Religious conviction and your political conviction, into your Religious conviction by living Evangelically, why, the very Government itself will be truly converted and will no longer be mere Americanism, but will be true Evangelism, going forth evangelizing all other civilized and heathen lands, until all mankind will stand even as I AM!
When you learn to unlearn what you have learned; when you learn to bring an end to yourself in the way you have been going; then and only then shall I come to you as your Leader, your Guide and your Protector!
Your American citizenship is not a reality, until you take on the nature, the characteristics and the spirit and the meaning of the Constitution and its Amendments, and bring both it and them to fruition within you! When this is done, as far as your citizenship is concerned, you are an American citizen!
When you can live absolutely Independent, individually and collectively, even according to My Teaching, by being individually Independent from every angle of expression, then and only then can you be a real American citizen and express your Citizenship, by being an expresser Individually, Collectively, Severally and Universally, of the Declaration of Independence, even as the Country declared it as a Nation!
Not one of My real followers is on the Welfare! My followers do not go around stealing and begging, for they express the Independence of GOD, as though it is what the Country as the nation, declared as a country! Now aren't you glad?
You cannot be an expresser nor a real reflector of Americanism unless you can bring this great Document to fruition within you individually, and declare your individual independence, even as the Country declared it as a nation! That is what I AM doing here today! I AM causing My real followers to declare, in the actuated words of expression, their individual independence, even as the Country declared her Independence as a nation, that they as individuals, individually, severally and collectively, nationally and internationally, might be real American citizens!
You can be a real American citizen only by expressing real Independence, even as GOD Himself expresses it by nature! What said the prediction of David in his Psalmic prediction concerning the mystery of this of which I AM now speaking?
'I once was young, but now I am old, but I have never seen the Righteous forsaken, neither his seed begging bread.'
If you go around begging, you are telling the world in the actuated words of
your expression by your begging, you are not the seed of the Righteous! You are
telling them that you are the seed of the unrighteous, if you have to go around
and be DE-pendent, instead of being IN-dependent, even as the Country under whose
flag you live, declared her Independence as a nation!
You must take on the nature and the characteristics of your country; even so you should take on the nature and the characteristics of your respective Religion, and live according to the highest version of your own respective Religion, and bring it to fruition within you! Then and only then are you true to your Religious conviction!
I came to do away with segregation! I came to do away with discrimination! But how can you expect to do it, so long as you use segregated terms concerning yourself and others? Theoretically you are separating yourself and separating others, by using the cursed segregated terms which have been robbers from the beginning of creation, for some of us!
The very segregated term you use, it is the same as a bandit's gun! I came to stir up your pure minds! The very segregated term you use, is as a bandit's gun! You have pointed your gun at someone -- told them to stand back! You cannot get this position, or you cannot fill that position, by that segregated term you use! Aren't you glad I Came?
In other words, you tell them, "Why, some man is filling the position that you are seeking, and he earns five hundred dollars a week, but I will give you only one hundred of that," because of that segregated term, because of that segregated term by which you are branded; and, "I Brand You with it! Therefore, you shall not get that other four hundred dollars." That is just the same as a bandit or a robber holding someone up to take his money! Tell them I said it!
Such a segregated term you use concerning yourself and others, is detrimental to all of us, but especially it is a robber to those whom you call "C". Those of My followers of every nation, language, tongue and people hereafter, will not tolerate such robbery! I have thousands and thousands and millions of followers who, if they were robbers, they would desire to tolerate it; they would desire to endorse it, because they thought they could use the segregated term to rob someone else besides the ones they have been robbing all the time!
But My real followers, even though they have been robbers, they will not be robbers any longer! They will not use the segregated term in order to rob you nor ME. Now tell the nations of the earth universally, wisdom, knowledge and understanding from the Fount of GOD'S Omniscience of which I AM, from every nation, from every language, from every tongue and from every people as they may be termed, will not tolerate such robbery, such segregated terms: for those terms and those vulgar names by which you have been called, are thieves and robbers, and we will not endorse them!
Now tell all of the educators I said, "It is Something Going On!" You have to unlearn that which you have learned; you have to undo that which you have done! You have to go back and make your correction, even though you did not know it was so detrimental, until I told you! Now you have something on your hands, and you cannot get it off!
Now, some of you came here to hear ME talk! I AM glad you came! If you did not, nor had not come and wanted to hear ME talk, and continued to insist on ME talking, no doubt, I would have refrained from speaking; but since you wanted to hear ME, you can hear ME!
We shall have a Righteous Government! Because of low-ration by the name, in other words, by the term they used in speaking of a good many of you, it has robbed you out of your Constitutional Rights, it has robbed you out of your actual birthrights -- kept you out in the cold all night -- because you were taught and others taught concerning you, that you were something else inferior to someone else; therefore they would not take you in! But I came to represent each and every living creature! I came to rescue the perishing and care for the dying! I came to lift up the fallen! I came to help -- especially help the under- privileged, the non-privileged and also to help the over-privileged, that they might have some Peace and Rest, and learn to be Honest! Oh, it is a privilege to know your GOD!
These thoughts are well worth considering. Truly might have one said:
'HE came treading the wine-press all Alone, and of the people there were none to help.'
Even though there are none to help, I will put My issue through in and on every
phase of Life! On every phase of life I shall put it through, with or without
you.
Then I say, it is a privilege to live in the actual Presence of GOD! You are obliged to know definitely, if you do not know personally, it is a living reality, if it is only mentally and spiritually; for you know it is GOD Talking! If you cannot see the reality of GOD from a Personal point of view, you can see in reality, it must be GOD transmitting His Message to you, as the radio broadcasting system is a parable concerning the mystery. Even if you take it inventionally from a scientific point of view, you would be able to see and know distinctly GOD is speaking to you; for your own heart tells you It is true!
Take these thoughts to consideration! Build upon this Foundation, and we shall have a Righteous Government. The time is not far away, when men will be ashamed to use segregated terms concerning you! They know it is degrading! They know it is disgraceful to use any sort of a segregated term concerning you yourself, or anyone else. They are separating themselves from the unity of Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, and they are denying the reality of what GOD has actually done for you!
As I said, even without ME, Personally, and laying aside the evangelical part of it, from a spiritual or from a Religious point of view, Uncle Sam taught you all to be One! "Of One Blood GOD formed all nations that dwell upon the face of the earth." Did you all not say it? Then why is it you continue to use segregated terms, in order to keep separation between the children of men?
A good many of you are robbing yourselves out of positions and occupations, and you do not know it! If you take it Religiously, or if you take it atheistically, you can see that you will find a place in each world of expression, concerning the Universal Brotherhood of man, concerning the man being all of One Blood and created all of One Blood, or One Nature, or whatever they may call it.
I came to bring you back together as you were in the beginning, that there might not be any division among the nations of the earth, universally. Upon this Foundation if you will stand, we will bring an abolition to all wars, race riots and divisions and confusion among the nations of the earth; and as it is under My Personal Jurisdiction in this auditorium and in all of the other places where I AM, Peace will be in evidence, instead of war!
Why is it men declare Peace? It is because they have had war and they see they are going to lose everything they have! After they see everything is going, they will declare Peace.
Then, I see everything coming to ME, such as life can demand; everything that I may seemingly desire -- I see both it and them coming to ME! That is the reason why I declare PEACE, that all might enjoy the limitless Blessings with ME. I thank you.
