FATHER and MOTHER DIVINE at
The Mount of the House of the Lord,
The Palace Mission Church, Gladwyne, PA.
This significant and very well worth considering Sermon was given by FATHER directly after the singing of an inspirational patriotic composition given long ago to the Rosebuds through and by the Holy Spirit of FATHER DIVINE!
Since then, the actuated expressions of the virtues of this song are being portrayed daily in governmental affairs, and even before then, for FATHER, the Americanism-Reviver and Democracy-Exemplifier, is Universalizing the Qualities and Attributes that make for Good Government, and thereby extending a Righteous Nation to reach from land to land and shore to shore!
Read therefore, His Blessed Words of Spirit and Life and realize the importance of this Great Contagion of Righteousness which is sweeping into the hearts and minds of men, causing them universally to enact the Bill of Rights and to live Honestly and with Love for their fellow man.
We thank THEE, Almighty GOD!
(The foregoing statements are those of the transcriber, after which is firstly recorded the inspirational song sung just before FATHER arose to speak.)
'A nation is rising rich in the Virtues
Of Americanism re-birthed by GOD;
Rich in Honesty, Brotherhood and Peace;
Where a man is a man and not a color, creed or race!
A people charged with the current of Justice
That has changed the tide of governmental affairs!
A Righteous Nation under FATHER DIVINE is Rising,
Electrifying the Atmosphere!'
FATHER Speaks as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! That little composition so often sung but deep to be considered continually, for in reality the Message is explanatory in itself, it needs no explanation; when you, My Fellow Citizens, Hearers and Friends look about yourselves you can see the personification of that little composition taking place in your very midst!
'A nation is rising rich in the virtue of Brotherhood and Peace . . . Rich in Honesty!'
All of these Qualities are the Attributes of GOD so profoundly propounded in
the actuated words of expression until you can speak without a reasonable doubt
that I AM changing the tides of governmental affairs!
I have long since declared I shall not be discouraged and I shall not be disturbed until I shall have contagionized it universally with this great Contagion of Righteousness, of Brotherhood and of Peace, where a man is a man and not a color, creed nor a race! ("So glad!" exclaimed the Congregation.)
I need not say more, as I have long since declared even though I send it out by composition as a motto for the consideration of the people:
'I will preach CHRIST in Words but more so in Deeds and in Actions, and I will put My Spirit in the people and cause them to walk in My Statutes!'
You can see, those who are not even called My Adherents and Following, they are
walking in My Statutes of Honesty, of Competence and of Truth, for this great
Contagion is actually changing the tides of governmental affairs! It is changing
the world in which you live, for it is so contagious, even if you are not susceptive
you will catch it! Aren't you glad! ("Oh, so glad, LORD!" replied the
joyous assembly.)
It is immaterial to ME whether humanity in general is susceptive or not, this great Contagion, I have contagionized it so with the virtue of Brotherhood, Honesty and of Peace until it will affect those who are not susceptive and those who are rebellious and reject it! Aren't you glad! ("So glad!" came the instant response.)
New ideas are rising in the hearts and minds of men even in opposition to what they have been and what they have been doing. They just can't help themselves for GOD is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent, and His Omnipotence in this Truth as transmitted will impregnate them with it! Aren't you glad! Therefore, they will get it and get it effectively from shore to shore and from land to land; and all over this wide extended plane some day it shall be as it is right here at My Right and at My Left Hand, where there will be no more races, creeds and colors; no more abominations of divisions among us! Where GOD in the midst of the children of men shall bring them back to the place where they were in the beginning of the Creation when they were all of One Nation, yea, of One Language and of One Speech!
Then you can dwell in peaceful and quiet resting places where no man can make you ashamed, for the Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good, no space will be vacant of the Fullness thereof! There will not be the prospect of lacks or wants or limitations! There will be no more the prospect of panics, depressions and famines, for GOD in the midst of you will bring into outer expression the Abundance of the Fullness of the Consciousness of Good and ALL will have A-full and A-plenty wheresoever you are! ("So glad, LORD!" came the joyous response from the congregation.)
At this particular instance I stand to say, we have visiting guests as usual. We hope our visiting guests will make themselves free to speak, to act or sing or whatsoever they will to do, since this is the Cradle of Democracy and the Hall thereof, (aren't you glad!) where all are welcome to speak and move volitionally even as we do if they care to. If you do not care to move volitionally as we do, give us your names, address and professions; we will introduce you according to custom.
This invitation I extend to you, My Guests and Friends and all, as strangers in the audience, as well as those of you who are at the Table. Feel free to be governed by your highest intuition and be moved by your volunteer volition. I will be with you! I AM that of which I declared to be and AM universally declared to be in the conclusion of My Letters! My Attributes I repeat silently but you will get it and will get them very explicitly as I reveal it. I thank you.
(After several visitors expressed themselves and a few patriotic songs were sung, FATHER arose once more to speak as follows:)
PEACE EVERYONE! At this instance I would just like to say, those of us who have dined, since there seems not to be anyone else to speak, will arise and take the back seats or pass out and pass on and allow others to come and do even as we have done. There are so many here to dine. I thank you.
