"We Are One Family, Indivisible, And I Shall Establish It Universally
if It Costs Ten Million Dollars A Day."--- FATHER DIVINE

Our FATHER'S Sermon at the Holy Communion Table, Unity Mission Church, Home and Training School,

As Jesus, in the Sonship Degree, prayed to His FATHER "that they may be One even as We are One," the FATHER in all His Glory has come in fulfillment and answer to His Son's Prayer and is actually Uniting the people together as One Man at Jerusalem. Thus, the world is now being re-birthed into the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose, establishing that Universal Brotherhood of Man and the FATHERHOOD of GOD!

Read these priceless Pearls of Wisdom given by our Savior, for HE Alone can lead His Flock into paths of Peace and Unity, for HE truly came to make them One!

We thank THEE, our Great Shepherd!

(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, and the following is the inspirational composition sung just before FATHER arose to speak:)

'FATHER DIVINE is calling for a Righteous Government
that will stand for the Constitution and its Amendments;
that will give every citizen unalienable rights to express
true Americanism in every walk of life.

Now we shall have it , for GOD has said not One of His
Words shall be in vain!
If HE has to shake creation to make them obey, we shall
have a Righteous Government and all men shall be the Same!

Shall be the Same! Shall be the Same! We shall have the
selfsame Rights! The Bill of Rights shall be enacted from the
Capitol to the streets and eventually GOD'S children shall
be free! Free indeed!'


(FATHER Speaks as follows:)

PEACE EVERYONE! Here we all are again. There I sit and here you stand. Here you are and there I AM. By the Unity of the Spirit, of Mind, of Aim and of Purpose I have brought about that great AT-ONE-MENT among us and that last number is not merely a supposition. It is not limited to ideas and opinions, but it is our conscious recognition and realization of what it really means.

We are not trying to have Equal Rights because we are not trying to race with anyone else, but as we realize the Bill of Rights, we realize there is ONE RIGHTS and not a whole lot of different rights. Yes, we shall have the very SAME RIGHTS! I mean those of My following, My hearers and My friends -- all of those who have been awakened into the recognition of GOD'S Actual Presence and have this New Birth of Freedom. They have the SAME RIGHTS and are no longer under a delusion of Equal Rights! Equal Rights is just an expression in itself -- an expression of segregation.

Why would I want some other Rights, other than the SAME RIGHTS that all other American citizens have? My follow citizens, hearers and friends, you have been hoodwinked long enough! GOD is in the midst of the children of men and is here to teach you Wisdom from the Fount of His OMNISCIENCE! Aren't you glad! We shall not create confusion longer! I AM working cancellation on all division and I have worked cancellation on division among My following to its lowest terms! Therefore, we in reality have the SAME RIGHTS! Aren't you glad! One Constitution, One Declaration of Independence and One Bill of Rights for each and everyone of you, My Fellow Citizens!

By this, I have brought an abolition to localization! Aren't you glad! I have broken that line of demarcation and I have broken that alien yoke of bondage and I HAVE SET ALL CITIZENS FREE, those who will adhere to ME (Aren't you glad!), to be free from racism! To be free from sectarianism! To be free from nationalism and all of the isms that spell division, for where there is division, there is strife, and where there is strife, there is confusion! Aren't you glad!

For this cause we can sing in all sincerity, "WE SHALL HAVE THE VERY SAME RIGHTS!" I mean every real, true American citizen; for I have long since declared and I re-declare the same by prediction:

"Righteousness exalts the people (in other words, exalts the nation) while sin is a reproach to any people."

Aren't you glad to realize, by being made Righteous, you are exalted in the midst of the children of men because you have humbled yourself and GOD has exalted you!

Then I say, live in this recognition and build upon this Foundation and you cannot be shaken and will not be drifted by the winds and doctrines of men who create division and confusion among them. I know this is something strange, but as I said of a very recent date, the most of the seminaries and universities do not know what INDIVISIBLE means! If they did, they would not be talking about races, creeds and colors under this Democracy when we have declared by our Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag, "We are ONE NATION, INDIVISIBLE!" You may have been One Nation theoretically and documentally and as you may say, constitutionally, but it was merely theoretically and not a reality. But I Came to make it a REALITY!

We all look like ONE FAMILY here, do we not? Not only ONE NATION, INDIVISIBLE, but we are ONE FAMILY, INDIVISIBLE, and I shall establish it if it costs ten million dollars a day! I thank you. I thank you. I thank you.
