#b4 ,the sixth day ,god made man for his glory1 and all things were given unto him for his possession and for his use the woman hath ,god made of man and for the glory of the man that she serve him and raise up seed unto him4 #c4 ,and ,god rested the seventh day and hallowed it that men should do also4 #d4 ,now when the man saw the woman that was made of him and for his glory1 he loved her and married with her1 consequently she bore children unto him and they became the father and mother of all men4 #e4 ,and ,god called the man ,adam and the woman ,eve4 ,they were of a mixed complexion4 #f4 ,and it came to pass that ,god commanded the man to give names to all things that are made4 ,,chapter ,,ii4 ,,dead ,,became ,,alive4 #a4 ,and it came to pass that ,god entered the body of an unknown dead and the dead became alive1 then did he walk about the earth in person4 #b4 ,he dwelt among men and wrought many miracles so that the kingdom of heaven might be verified4 #c4 ,he suffered persecution and privation as an example of what ministers of the gospel must suffer to maintain the kingdom of ,god among men4 #d4 ,and it came to pass that ,god gave his name ,elijah1 and he called upon the name of the ,lord ,god even though he himself was ,god4 #e4 ,now when the time had appeared for ,god to return1 the supreme angel commanded the chariot of heaven to meet him4 #f4 ,and when the chariot appeared unto ,elijah1 he ascended and returned to his throne in heaven where he reigned from the beginning and shall unto the end1 king of kings1 and ,god of gods4 #g4 ,had the men in the days of ,elijah's visit on earth taken a right record of his administration1 long before this day the inhabitants of this earth would have known him as ,god of all men4 #h4 ,for in ,elijah do the

,god of ,ethiopia is with us in the battle far that to which we are entitled1 show me the foe so powerful to set us down8 ,verily ,i say unto you there is none4 #ab4 ,but who can be so good as to please the conscience of the people that they say ye are of ,god8 ,who will pay such a price8 ,will you8 ,then1 if so1 lay down and let the public trod upon your head for a good name4 #ac4 ,verily ,i say unto you for this the ,athlians are bad1 but on the scale of justice1 let them not be found wanting4 ,then shall they please the ,lord ,god1 maker of heaven and earth1 and great shall be their reward in the ,kingdom of heaven4 ,,the ,,second ,,book ,,of ,,athlyi ,,called ,,aggregation ,,chapter #a4 ,,heaven ,,grieved4 #a4 ,for as much as the children of ,ethiopia1 ,god's favorite people of old1 have drifted away from his divine majesty1 neglecting life economic1 believing they should on spiritual wings fly to the kingdom of ,god1 consequently became a convenient for the welfare of others4 #b4 ,therefore the whole heaven was grieved and there was a great lamentation in the ,kingdom of ,god4 ,ethiopian mothers whose bodies have been dead a thousand years1 weeping for their suffering generations and would not be comforted4 #c4 ,and behold two angels of the ,lord resembling two saints of ,ethiopia appeared before ,athlyi and he inquired of them what is the cry8 #d4 ,and they answered him saying1 ,ethiopian mothers who have been dead a thousand years pleading before ,elijah for the redemption of suffering ,ethiopia and her posterities who by the feet of the nations are trodden4 ,convention in ,heaven4 #e4 ,there is a great convention in heaven1 saith the angels of the ,lord1 unto you this day we are sent by the ,lord to felicitate1 for thou art appointed shepherd to lead ,ethiopia's generations from the oppressive feet of the nations1 and there are appointed also prophets to prepare the way before thee4 #f4 ,and it came to pass when ,athlyi heard these sayings he feared with great astonishment and turned his face from the angels of the ,lord4 #g4 ,and there appeared unto him his divine highness ,jesus ,christ1 ,prince of the ,kingdom of ,god1 and said quickly behold the messengers of my ,father4 #h4 ,at this saying ,athlyi turned again to the angels of the ,lord and said1 thy will be done1 ,o ,god of ,ethiopia1 but how can ,i be shepherd to lead millions of millions even from the end of the earth when as ,i am but a twig before the eyes of men8 ,the ,heavens ,open4 #i4 ,and the angels of the ,lord answered him saying1 a twig that is made by the ,holy ,spirit1 an instrument to lead men is great in the sight of ,god1 over which the armies of the earth or the hosts of hell shall not prevail4 #aj4 ,and it came to pass that the angel who had the less to say lifted her eyes to heaven and stretched forth her arms over the earth and cried1 blessed be thou ,ethiopia1 glory be the ,father1 thou ,elijah1 ,hosanna1 ,hosanna to ,jehovah1 praise ye ,douglas the convention have triumph4 #aa4 ,there appeared a beautiful light on earth and when the light flashed ,athlyi looked toward the heaven1 and behold the heaven was open and there was a great host of saints robed in blue1 millions of millions as far as his eyes could see there was a mighty host4 #ab4 ,when ,athlyi sought the angels of the ,lord they were not and he heard a voice say ,athlyi and another ,athlyi1 and he looked up and saw the two angels ascending towards the celestial host4 ,ethiopia ,anointed4 #ac4 ,and when the two messengers of the ,lord were midways they cried out unto the earth saying1 blessed be thou ,ethiopia for this day thou art anointed1 thou art blest with a blessing1 be ye forever united and stand up1 let the world know your ,god4 #ad4 ,and when the two angels of the ,lord neared the multitude the whole host roared with a thunder of joy that shook the earth like a mighty earthquake4 #ae4 ,and it came to pass that an angel robed in four colors came forward to receive them and the whole celestial multitude stood and quietly formed an aisle4 #af4 ,and when the two messengers appeared before the heavenly host they bowed to the multitude and turned themselves around and bowed also to the earth4 #ag4 ,then came forward the mighty angel robed in four colors and placed a gold ring upon their heads1 and came forward also two mothers of ,ethiopia1 each with a star in their right hand1 and pinned them on the left breast of the two messengers of the ,lord4 #ah4 ,and it came to pass that heaven and earth shook three times and the two angels marched up the aisle and joined with the multitude4 ,rejoicing in ,heaven4 #ai4 ,there was great rejoicing in heaven and singing hosanna to ,elijah2 praise ye ,douglas2 blessed be thou ,ethiopia forever and forever2 the people at the end of the known world1 and world unknown shall look for the coming of thy children with food and with raiment4 #bj4 ,and when the two angels had joined the multitude and the mighty angel had finished his performance the said angel who was robed in colors turned to the heavenly host and said3 #ba4 ,mothers of ,ethiopia1 the convention has triumphed1 your sorrows have brought joy to ,ethiopia1 your tears have anointed her soil with a blessing1 your cries have awakened her children throughout the earth1 yea in the corners of the unknown world are they aroused1 and is prophesying1 saying prepare ye the way for a redeemer4 ,shepherd ,anointed4 #bb4 ,for unto ,ethiopia this day a ,shepherd is anointed1 yea1 as a shepherd gathers his sheep so shall he gather unto ,god1 the generation of ,ethiopia even from the end of the earth and lead them high1 a nation among nations4 #bc4 ,then shall the inhabitants of the earth know that the ,lord our ,god has not forsaken ,ethiopia1 and that the mighty is weak against his command1 and unto no nation has he given power forever4 #bd4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 woe be unto the persecutors of the shepherd for he is anointed by the ,lord our ,god1 therefore one drop of his blood or the least of his apostles whom he has anointed to administer the law to the generations of ,ethiopia1 or the blood of a prophet within the law1 shall break to pieces the oppressors of ,ethiopia4 ,the ,mighty ,angel4 #be4 ,when the mighty angel had finished speaking to the heavenly host he then turned to the earth and said3 ,children of ,ethiopia1 stand1 and there flashed upon the earth a great multitude of ,negroes knowing not from whence they came2 then shouted instantly the whole heavenly host1 behold1 behold ,ethiopia has triumphed4 #bf4 ,and it came to pass that the mighty angel spoke to the multitude of ,negroes1 saying1 woe be unto those who say to the shepherd1 thou fool1 or to the least of an apostle anointed to administer the law1 for it is not the desire of the shepherd but the will of the ,lord who is ,god4 ,dominion ,over the ,shepherd4 #bg4 ,for as much as the ,lord has dominion over the shepherd and the shepherd over his apostles and the apostles over all the generations of ,ethiopia2 then shall the ,lord our ,god administer to the shepherd and the shepherd to his apostles and the apostles to all the children of ,ethiopia4 #bh4 ,woe be unto an apostle who is anointed to administer the law and neglect or deny it4 ,verily he shall be cast out and the hand of the ,lord shall come upon him with sorrow and disgrace4 #bi4 ,woe be unto those who saith ,i will not be united1 neither will ,i follow the shepherd1 they shall be as sheep without a shepherd only to be destroyed by the wolf of the field4 #cj4 ,woe be unto those who saith ,i hearken not to the voice of the shepherd but go the way of the majority1 for in the majority the spirit of the ,lord will not be found4 #ca4 ,woe be unto those who saith ,i will not worship in the house of the ,lord subsidiary to the house of ,athlyi4 ,purification4 #cb4 ,for as much as the house of ,athlyi is founded by the holy spirit to purify the children of ,ethiopia and to administer the holy law commanded to them by the ,lord ,god of all mercies1 that they in the end shall be ushered in the kingdom of his ,divine ,majesty by faith through consecration in love1 justice and by the pledging of life's loyalty to a prolific and defensive cause for the welfare of mankind4 ,let not the least or the greatest of the children give a deaf ear to the saying of the shepherd thereof1 for through the mouth of the shepherd cometh the word of the ,lord to the adherents of the ,holy ,law4 ,,chapter #b4 ,,presentation ,,of ,,the ,,law4 #a4 ,and it came to pass that the mighty angel robed in four colors descended from among the great heavenly host4 #b4 ,when the ,athlyi saw the angel descending he feared with great fear and hid behind the root of a tree4 #c4 ,but the angel of the ,lord came up unto him and said1 ,athlyi1 come forth for the ,lord has made thee shepherd of his anointed children of ,ethiopia4 #d4 ,and ,athlyi answered saying1 who are thou8 ,i am ,douglas1 a messenger from the ,lord1 replied the angel4 ,i am sent to robe thee and to give in thy hands and in thy care the ,lord's articles4 #e4 ,verily no man shall take away that which the ,lord giveth1 for the word of the ,lord who is ,god1 will not come unto any save he who is appointed by the ,father4 ,athlyi ,robed4 #f4 ,the angel of the ,lord robed ,athlyi in four colors and commanded him to put forth his right hand and the messenger presented in his right hand a staff and in his left hand the ,holy ,law saying1 ,go and administer this law through thine apostles unto the children of ,ethiopia and command them to rise from the feet of their oppressors4 ,great is the penalty if there be any failure on your part to deliver the law2 the hand of the ,lord shall come upon thee with horror and thou shalt regret the day ye was born4 #g4 ,the angel of the ,lord hesitated1 then said to ,athlyi1 swear before the ,lord ,god that thou wilt administer the law unto the children2 then ,athlyi lifted his eyes to the heaven and said1 the heaven and earth bear witness to my saying ,i will4 #h4 ,then the messenger of the ,lord touched ,athlyi on his left breast with the first finger of his right hand saying1 be thou brave1 then disappeared from the presence of the shepherd4 ,,chapter #c4 ,,god',s ,,holy ,,law ,,to ,,the ,,children ,,of

by a ,salvation ,army carrying banners1 proclaiming a universal holiday for ,negroes and foretelling of their industrial and national independence4 ,,chapter #e4 ,,athlicanity ,,preached4 #a4 ,for as much as the doctrine preached by ,athlyi gained favor in the hearts of the people1 and that it was efficient for the salvation of ,ethiopia's generations3 ,on the thirteenth day of the seventh month1 in the nineteen hundred and eighteenth year the followers of ,athlyi assembled at the ,israel ,memorial ,a4 ,m4 ,e4 ,church1 ,west ,kinney ,street1 ,newark1 ,new ,jersey1 ,u4 ,s4 ,a4 ,they declared

it came to pass after the performance1 the ,shepherd stood up1 and he was in four colors which were blue1 black1 red and green1 and he explained the meaning of the colors and of the staff4 #h4 ,saying ,ethiopia's generations shall respect the heaven while for a foundation they sacrifice on earth2 moreover a king sits on the throne of his organized government1 but a shepherd must seek his sheep and prepare a pasture for them that they be fed4 #i4 ,then the ,shepherd commanded his followers to stand1 and he taught them saying great is his divine majesty1 the ,lord ,god of all mankind1 ,father of

concretized1 and he concretized them with water4 #b4 ,and the ,shepherd taught the form ,solemnityfeast1 which the ,christians call sacrament1 and he taught the form of baptism also concretation and the period of concord according to the ,athlican faith4 #c4 ,let the people be baptized with water by submersion for the remission of their iniquities in the name of one ,god1 his ,holy ,law and the ,holy ,ghost4 #d4 ,let the people be concretized also with water that they be binded into one united band from one generation to another and let them pledge their lives loyally to the cause of actual

assemble for three days' celebration1 beginning from the setting of the sun on the twenty-ninth day of the seventh month unto the setting of the sun of the first day of the eighth month of the year1 which shall be known throughout the world as the period of concord in accordance with the celestial and terrestial concord led by the mighty angel ,douglas4 #i4 ,hear1 oh generations of ,ethiopia1 for

the midst of the audience spake1 saying1 may ,i ask his holiness1 what is the principal belief of the ,athlians4 #ai4 ,straightway the ,shepherd answered saying1 the fundamental belief of the

,solemnityfeast and in the form of baptism and concretation as taught by our ,shepherd ,athlyi4 ,we believe in the utilization of the power and blessings of ,god for the good of mankind1 the creation of industries1 the maintenance of colleges and the unity of force1 then in the end when earth toil is over we shall be rewarded a place of rest in the kingdom of heaven1 there to sing with the saints of ,ethiopia1 singing ,hallelujah1 hosanna to the ,lord our ,god for ever and ever--,amen4 #ba4 ,then the ,athlians shouted hosanna to the ,lord ,god1 surely the ,lord has sent us not only a ,shepherd but a saviour4 #bb4 ,straightway the ,shepherd ,athlyi spake saying upon those words the ,afro ,athlican ,constructive ,church stands firm over which the hosts of hell nor the armies of the earth shall not prevail4 #bc4 ,and the ,shepherd being full with the ,holy ,spirit recited from his heart saying3 #bd4 ,father1 thou ,god of all1 closer to thee even though afar we stray2 thou hast called us back1 now all in one we come1 children of ,africa3 ,closer1 oh ,god1 to thee2 closer to thee4 #be4 ,and he began to tell his followers about the wonderful works of ,god2 how he hath sent apostles of the twentieth century1 to save ,ethiopia and her generations from the oppressive feet of the nations that they prove themselves fruitful for the good of their children and the glory of their ,god4 #bf4 ,know ye that ,i am not the only one sent by the ,lord our ,god to rescue the children of ,ethiopia1 for before me there were two others sent forth to prepare the minds of the people for the great things that shall come to pass4 #bg4 ,i saw an angel resembling a mighty ,negro1 and upon his head were horns of a great structure and on his breast was a map of life4 #bh4 ,i heard a great voice uttered from the end of the world saying1 behold the map of the new ,negroes1 by this shall ye know the apostle of the twentieth century whom the ,almighty ,god hath commanded to save ,ethiopia and her posterities4 #bi4 ,at the sound of the mighty voice the structure descended from the head of the angel and stood upon the ground and the map surrounded it1 then was the writing plain to be understood4 #cj4 ,and the ,shepherd showed the people a copy of the map1 and said behold the map as ,i have seen it1 straightway at midnight ,i reproduce the mystery4 #ca4 ,then the ,athlians shouted for joy and the ,shepherd spake with a loud voice saying thou sun that shines upon the waters of the utmost world1 that gives light to the earth1 stand thou still over mountains of ,africa and give light to her righteous armies4 #cb4 ,where are those2 there is none to compare with the ,athlians in united spirits and a determination2 a people lovers of freedom and of justice1 fearless of death4 ,,chapter #g4 #a4 ,now in the year of nineteen hundred and nineteen on the thirtieth day of the seventh month1 when the ,athlians were celebrating concord in the city of ,newark1 ,new ,jersey1 ,u4 ,s4 ,a41 and on the third day of the period a paper was read by the ,rev4 ,bonfield telling of ,marcus ,garvey in ,new ,york ,city4 #b4 ,and the ,shepherd hesitated1 then spake1 saying3 #c4 ,i almost believe this is one of the apostles of the twentieth century1 but where is the other8 for ,i look for two1 however by the map of life ,i shall know him4 #d4 ,raise not the weight of your finger on ,marcus ,garvey1 neither speak ye against him4 #e4 ,in the year of #aiba ,garvey spake1 saying3 ,i have no time to teach religion4 #f4 ,because of this saying ,athlyi took up his pen and was about to declare him not an apostle of the twentieth century4 #g4 ,and it came to pass that the word of the ,lord came to ,athlyi saying1 blame not this man1 for ,i the ,lord ,god1 hath sent him to prepare the minds of ,ethiopia's generations1 verily he shall straighten up upon the map4 #h4 ,nevertheless1 in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-two ,apostle ,garvey issued a religious call throughout the world which fulfilled the last item upon the map of life4 #i4 ,therefore1 ,athlyi yielded him a copy of the map1 and declared ,marcus ,garvey an apostle of the ,lord ,god for the redemption of ,ethiopia and her suffering posterities4 #aj4 ,and the word of the ,lord came to ,athlyi saying1 ,i am the ,lord ,god of ,ethiopia1 three apostles of the twentieth century have ,i sent forth unto ,ethiopia's generations to administer the ,law and the ,gospel which ,i have commanded for their salvation1 let not the hands of men ordain them4 #aa4 ,for ,i1 the ,lord1 hath anointed mine apostles that they may ordain and give authority to ordain4 ,,chapter #h4 ,,athlyi ,,sent ,,abroad4 #a4 ,and it came to pass that the word of the ,lord came to ,athlyi saying get thee into foreign countries and provide stars of the ,law and of the gospel of the twentieth century4 #b4 ,go the way of the ,atlantic and return by way of the ,pacific1 and ,athlyi obeyed the ,lord4 #c4 ,and when he was in the ,strait of ,magellan1 the ,lord spake to him saying3 #d4 ,my holy house of ,athlyi let her be of two wings1 the ,church to the right and a green pasture to the left4 #e4 ,let the ,church teach and the green pasture to provide for the people2 let the house of ,athlyi be the director thereof1 and ,i1 the ,lord1 shall dwell in the house of ,athlyi and give light to her wings1 then shall the inhabitants of the earth know that ,i am the ,lord ,god of ,ethiopia4 #f4 ,let there be but one church or denomination upon the law and the gospel commanded for the salvation of ,ethiopia's generations4 #g4 ,in entering the inner door of the ,church let the people bow with reverence to the holy dictuary4 #h4 ,suffer no one to preach upon or in the dictuary save a teacher of the law and a believer in the gospel commanded to the children of ,ethiopia4 #i4 ,let the people take interest in the apostles1 but he that boost not the green pasture to provide for the people is not worthy of

yourselves together that no corruption gather between thee1 for thou art the light and guide unto salvation2 let all the children of ,ethiopia follow thee4 #ab4 ,may the ,lord ,god of ,ethiopia watch between us whil'st we are absent one from another4 ,may he endow us with unity of spirit and anxious hearts to again assemble for the rise of falling humanity through the guidance of the house of ,athlyi and in the name of one ,god1 his ,law and the ,holy ,ghost for ever and ever--,amen4 ,,chapter #i4 ,,the ,,word ,,of ,,the ,,lord4 #a4 ,and it came to pass in the year of nineteen hundred and twenty-four and the twelfth day of the ninth month1 the word of the ,lord1 ,god of ,ethiopia came to ,athlyi saying1 #b4 8,i am ,god1 the creator1 father of ,ham1 ,canaan1 ,nimrod and ,ethiopia40 #c4 8,why calleth thou my holy temple1 ,church80 sayeth the ,lord unto ,athlyi4 #d4 8,will thou also destroy the righteousness1 of my holy name80 #e4 8,will thou even so teach that ,i am a ,god who confers honor upon the envious in mind2 the lying1 inhuman1 murdering1 plunderous1 oppressive and adulturous characters in my name80 #f4 ,and the ,lord continued to say1 8,athlyi6 ,oh ,athlyi6 ,i say unto you again4 ,why calleth my holy temple1 #8,church'8 ,will thou also teach that ,i have commanded to destroy the offsprings of ,ham in ,canaan80 #g4 ,athlyi answered saying1 8,father1 behold the ,house of ,athlyi40 #h4 8,this ,i have created10 saith the ,lord1 8,verily ,i shall dwell in the ,high place at the ,house of ,athlyi and shall give light to the ,shepherd and the ,shepherd to his ,apostles and his ,apostles to all people who shall constitute the auxiliaries of my most holy ,house of ,athlyi40 #i4 8,but why calleth thou these auxiliaries1 #8,church'80 he continued4 #aj4 ,athlyi hesitated and the ,lord our ,god1 who stood in the midst of a brilliant light1 like unto a circle pointed to ,athlyi and said1 #aa4 8,i have commanded thee but thou art carried away by those who polluted the righteousness of my name40 #ab4 ,at this saying ,athlyi advanced towards the ,lord with open arms and cried out1 8,o ,god of ,ethiopia1 ,i pray1 redeem me1 wash me clean and separate me from all gospels that pollute the righteousness of thy name that those in me unto thee may be clean and free from all things abominable in thy sight40 #ac4 8,thou art the supreme sage2 pray6 ,give me to nurse at thy breast the milk of wisdom that ,i may know and understand thee40 #ad4 ,and it came to pass that the ,lord1 our ,god of ,ethiopia spoke saying1 8,reach out and touch me40 #ae4 ,athlyi reached out and with the first finger of his right hand touched the personality in the light1 straightway his heart became in motion and the eyes of ,athlyi lit up like a torch4 ,evidently he had increased in wisdom1 a man matchless in spirit4 #af4 ,and the ,lord1 ,god of ,ethiopia1 spoke unto ,athlyi saying1 8,thou art a star in my crown4 ,go ye through the lands that men may dwell in thee and see clear the impediments in the paths of their lives40 #ag4 ,now when the ,lord has commanded ,athlyi to carry the light unto others he departed and the light of his eyes lit up the near and distant darkness1 and the word of his mouth brought freedom to the enslaved4 ,,chapter #aj4 ,,rejoicing ,,in ,,the ,,light4 #a4 ,and it came to pass on the following day the ,lord called ,athlyi2 and when ,athlyi appeared before the ,lord1 the light of his eyes connected with the light that surrounded the divine personality4 #b4 ,and there appeared a light matchless in its beauty4 ,straightway the whole celestial host shouted and there appeared millions of ,angels dancing in the light singing1 8,behold6 ,behold ,ethiopia6 ,the bride of the master4 ,her day has come at last6 ,the ,lord has received her hand4 ,her night has forever passed40 #c4 ,the ,lord stretched forth his hands over the earth and there appeared millions of black men1 women and children1 who joined with the angels in dancing1 singing and rejoicing in the light4 #d4 ,again did the ,lord stretch forth his hands over ,ethiopia and ,canaan and the offsprings of ,ham became mighty and the lands became prosperous in animals1 fruits and grains4 ,great cities sprang up among them and the women as well as men mastered ships upon the waters4 #e4 ,and ,athlyi looked and beheld great industries sprung up among the children of ,ethiopia and he saw men kissing the women and praising them because of their mighty task in the struggle4 ,he beheld women worshiping men because they had made them great4 #f4 ,and the ,lord1 our ,god1 spoke unto the children1 his voice echoed from ,ethiopia to ,canaan saying1 #g4 8,blessed are the mighty in righteousness for they shall be respected40 #h4 8,blessed are the wealthy in love for ,i am rich and whosoever believeth in ,athlyi and in the gospel which ,i have commended through him seeketh after these things which are in me40 #i4 8,and ,i the ,lord shall fill him to

devil1 in him there is no ,god4 #aa4 8,the fool impoverishes himself to find me4 ,verily ,i say unto you1 he shall not find me10 saith the ,lord1 8for ,i am rich40 8,but whosoever believeth in ,athlyi seeketh my principle1 therefore ,i shall reach out my hand and help him to be as ,i am40 ,,chapter #aa4 ,,returned ,,to ,,newark4 #a4 ,and it came to pass that the word of the ,lord1 ,god of ,ethiopia1 came to ,athlyi saying1 #b4 8,arise in the morning1 break not your fast1 neither say ye a word to anyone4 ,and thou shall return to ,newark and ,i will go with thee and thou shall see me40

tranquility and good will upon the earth1 recognizing the divine fatherhood of ,god1 the brotherhood of man and the rights of each and every one to enjoy equally the blessings of the father40 #g4 ,and the ,lord1 ,god of ,ethiopia1 charged ,athlyi saying1 8,call not my holy house #8,church1' neither shall thou permit unjust literature which teaches that ,god has commanded ,israel to oppress1 rob and destroy the offsprings of ,ham in ,canaan to rest upon my altar1 for ,i have no part in such ,deuteronomies4 ,they are an abomination in my sight1 and a disgrace upon the earth40 #h4 ,and the ,lord continued1 8,i shall bring to an end the oppressors of ,ham4 ,i shall tear down the walls which ,i have permitted to hold ,ethiopia in bondage1 that she may know the devil and his unrighteousness4 #i4 8,never-the-less1 the children of ,ethiopia1 even unto this day1 walketh upright before me1 save those whom ,i the ,lord1 ,god have suffered to be spoiled by the enemies1 that they might know the evil against the posterities of ,ham4 #aj4 8,now ,i shall send forth an army of ,athlians who shall redeem my children and deliver them again to my arms4 #aa4 8,i shall nourish them4 ,their chest shall be as unbreakable steel4 ,their legs as giant reenforced concrete4 ,hearts of understanding and heads matchlessly wise4 ,they shall be my masons1 builders of a righteous kingdom and the source of

me1 for ,i am in him and he is of me4 ,whosoever followeth an ,athlian followeth me also10 saith the ,lord4 #ad4 ,and when the ,lord had spoke these things ,athlyi turned and asked1 8,father1 what shall ,i call ,thy holy house80 #ae4 ,and the ,lord spoke to ,athlyi saying1 8,go and do as ,i have commanded you4 ,the mouth of a child shall reveal the name1 moreover1 ,i shall write it upon the wall and you shall see it40 ,,chapter #ab4 ,,the ,,guiding ,,light4 #a4 ,now when ,athlyi started for ,newark1 there appeared a spotlight on the sleeve of his coat4 #b4 ,when ,athlyi saw the light he tried to cover it with his hat but the light could not be covered4 #c4 ,then he looked up and yelled joyfully1 8,it's the light of the ,lord4 ,surely it cannot be covered4 ,the light of the ,lord our ,god ,i shall follow this day4 ,indeed ,i will not stray40 #d4 ,athlyi journeyed to ,newark and the light with him4 #e4 ,but when he turned contrary to the will of ,god1 the light would not follow but stood on another street4 #f4 ,now when ,athlyi saw the light would not go he turned and went the way the light pointed him4 #g4 ,and it came to pass when ,athlyi reached the city of ,newark he prepared a house for the ,lord our ,god and when he was making ready for the first sermon1 a little girl opened the door and stared plumply into his face and uttered 8,gaathly04 8,is your name ,gaathly80 the ,shepherd asked4 #h4 ,the child then raised her voice and again said 8,gaathly10 and went out4 #i4 ,straightway a light flashed and ,athlyi looked around4 ,he beheld over the altar a hand1 writing on the wall the name ,gaathly4 #aj4 ,when ,athlyi saw the hand on the wall he became very fearful but embroiled with joy4 #aa4 ,he then rushed into the inner chamber and proclaimed before his wife ,miriam and his daughter ,muriel1 the name of ,gaathly saying1 8,behold1 a hand wrote it and the child revealed it as the ,lord had promised40 #ac4 ,from that day unto this the holy house founded upon the ,gospel of ,god through ,athlyi is known as the ,gaathly4 ,,chapter #ac4 ,,athlyi ,,bleeds4 #a4 ,and it came to pass on the third ,saturday night of the seventh month of the year nineteen hundred and twenty-seven1 the word of the ,lord came to ,athlyi saying1 8,tomorrow1 thou shalt with thine own blood set apart the ,athlians from the rest of the world's inhabitants1 that ,i may glory in them and nourish them4 #b4 8,i shall send my angels and they shall dwell among the ,athlians and teach them new things4 ,verily1 the women as well as the men shall develop great in science4 #c4 8,fear not1 because of the inventions of today10 saith the ,lord1 8for greater shall come out of my people1 the ,athlians4 ,they shall school ,ethiopia4 ,consequently the sons and daughters of ,ham shall be a burning light unto all the earth40 #d4 ,on the next day which was ,sunday1 while the ,shepherd ,athlyi preached before the people who came out to ,gaathly1 the spirit of the ,lord came upon him and he then bit the top of his fingers1 so that the blood spouted4 #e4 ,then with his blood he marked a line between the ,athlians and the rest of the earth's inhabitants as the ,lord had commanded him4 #f4 ,then came forth the ,shepherdmiss ,muriel1 daughter of ,athlyi1 who fell upon her knees saying1 8,let thy blood fall upon me that ,i bear it through the ages40 ,the ,shepherd let his blood fall upon her4 #g4 ,then came forward also ,sister ,mary ,howard1 stear of the nourishers and saints4 ,she bound up the ,shepherd's wound4 #i4 8,i am a witness of this blood10 the ,stear uttered1 but the ,shepherd answered saying1 8,all ,athlians are witnesses of this blood1 and ,i shall be their ,shepherd forever4 ,even in the spirit ,i shall be with them and ,i shall be quick to answer those who called upon me in sincerity2 but those who seeketh me empty in heart shall not find me4 #aj4 8,happy shall be the aged who sacrifice the days of ,his youth within this blood4

oppression at the hands of ,europe all the days of his unbelief4 #af4 8,for he that receiveth me not1 his heart despiseth the gift of ,god1 the father1 who sent me4 #ag4 8,for thus saith the ,lord our

light and power upon the earth40 ,,chapter #ad4 ,,heaven ,,and ,,hell4 #a4 ,and it came to pass that the spirit moved in ,athlyi and he became full with the holy ghost4 #b4 ,and he cried out saying1 8,hear me1 ,o children of ,ethiopia4 ,there is not a heaven nor a hell but that which ye make of yourselves and for yourselves4 #c4 8,in heaven there are few while in hell there are many4 ,but those who are in heaven are the champions of time who have conquered over sin and slothfulness4 #d4 8,the fool slights the things in life and seeketh heaven after death4 ,verily1 ,verily ,i say unto you1 he shall not find it4 ,but the spirit of him that establishes a heaven on earth shall dwell in heaven everlasting4 #e4 8,unto him that is empty in love1 faith1 righteousness and industry there is no heaven4 #f4 8,heaven is a splendor4 ,a source of peace and happiness1 where the spirit of ,god is visable in its appearance4 #g4 8,he that passeth from this heaven is exalted into heaven eternal4 ,beyond strife and death1 where pain and sorrows are unknown4 #h4 8,hell is a dark and shabby place2 a den of thieves1 murderers1 gamblers1 drunkards1 liars1 blasphemers1 hypocrites1 underminers1

of heaven shall be opened unto him4 #ab4 8,lo1 ,i heard a cry in hell10 saith ,athlyi1 8calling upon me in ,god4 #ac4 8,and ,i looked and beheld a man striving to conquer hell and escape from his horrible condition40 #ad4 ,and ,athlyi spoke unto his saying1 8,who art thou80 #ae4 8#8,i am ,amos who persecuted thee and lied about you4 ,now ,i would rather be a sweeper in the ,gaathly than to be a prince in the palace of kings who believeth not in thee4' #af4 ,and ,athlyi spoke unto him saying1 8,thou doeth thyself this harm for there is no hell for him who believeth in me40 #ag4 ,and ,amos reached out crying1 8,forgive me1 ,o ,athlyi6 and redeem me from this misery4 ,for ,i believe that thou art a man of ,god with power to save40 #ah4 ,then ,athlyi reached down and lifted him up saying1 8,arise1 and stand above the devil and his hell4 ,thy faith in me shall bear thee up1 but he that is weak in faith shall fall through his faith4 #ai4 8,for ,i am not of myself but of ,god1 the father1 who is in me4 ,he that gives himself up to me wholeheartedly1 ,i shall nurse him at my breast and he shall be strong4 #bj4 8,there shall be no devil to conquer him1 neither shall there be any hell to

#ba4 8,he that cometh unto me halfway1 ,i shall not receive him10 saith ,athlyi1 8for he is weak in himself in me and shall therefore fall in himself4 #bb4 8,he that withholds from me1 that which he is able to give1 shall lose it without compensation2 but he that soweth in me wholeheartedly shall reap a reward ten fold4 ,for ,i am of good soil and ,god1 the father in me1 shall water that which is

,athlians shall gather around their rulers4 ,then1 at the ,shepherd's command go forward to defend their rights4 #bf4 8,knowing that our reward is ,heaven everlasting if our enemy we shall conquer1 it is therefore the sole spirit of the ,athlians to die in honor rather than to live as dependable dogs in disgrace1 subject to the dictation of others who are not in me40 #bg4 ,then ,athlyi called his ,cledgers around him and placed his hands upon the right shoulder of each saying1 8,blessed are the creators in me4 ,they shall set with me in heaven eternal and return with me to inspect the earth and crown the worthy4 #bh4 8,he that is not clean1 industrious and thrifty is not in me1 for ,i am a lover of cleanness1 lord of industry and a builder of commerce1 that men may be happy in me4 #bi4

would be satisfied with the crumbs of life4 #b4 ,behold the great ,god ,almighty hath commanded his angels to anoint them that they be a new and prolific people upon the earth4 #c4 ,then did the ,lord ,god with his own hands ordain three apostles and sent them forth to save ,ethiopia's generation from doom4 #d4 ,now when ,marcus ,garvey1 ,god's foremost apostle1 heard the voice of his colleague1 apostle ,robert ,lincoln ,poston1 preaching in the ,city of ,detroit1 ,michigan1 ,united ,states of ,america1 he knew that this was his colleague for the ,lord ,god hath revealed1 notwithstanding the three apostles had met in the spirit before they came to administer the law and gospel for the full salvation of ,ethiopia's posterities4 #e4 ,and it came to pass that apostle ,garvey journeyed to ,detroit and there met his colleague and they greeted each other with great joy1 and the heart of one was the heart of the other4 #f4 ,now when the amalgamation of their apostleship was verified1 apostle ,poston came to ,new ,york ,city1 ,united ,states of ,america1 and then teamed with apostle ,garvey in the work for the redemption of ,ethiopia and her trodden posterities1 whom through the

the beginning of the world1 that they prepare a foundation for all the posterities of ,ethiopia1 even unto the end4 #d4 ,for ,i1 the ,lord ,god1 shall come to judge between the three races of men2 woe

ye a bill of arrangement1 saith the ,lord1 and give it in the hands of thy colleague that he go to the land of ,ethiopia 7,africa7 and to the nations at the entrance of the land and request them to open the door for the return of thy children4 #e4 ,and ,i1 the ,lord1 shall go with him1 and ,i will touch the hearts of the nations and they shall yield to the request4 #f4 ,then shall the children of ,ethiopia return to their own land and there establish a light with which no nation shall compare1 nor will there be any power sufficient to douse it4 #g4 ,for ,i am the ,lord ,god of ,ethiopia and ,i shall dwell with mine anointed and they shall be my people as long as they follow the teachings of my apostles4 #h4 ,moreover1 behold at thy side is the noble woman ,henrietta in whom the whole

is her wisdom1 saith the ,lord1 and send ye also another that they go and prepare a home for mine anointed4 #i4 ,and it came to pass that apostle ,garvey obeyed the ,lord1 and he called the children of ,ethiopia and there gathered a great host in the ,city of ,new ,york4 #aj4 ,and when the apostle put before them the ,lord's request they leapt for joy and confirmed the will of the ,lord ,god of ,ethiopia4 #aa4 ,then were a delegation of three sent forth according to the words of the ,lord4 ,,chapter #c4 ,,standing ,,before ,,elijah4 #a4 ,and it came to pass that on the night of the fifteenth day of the third month of the nineteen hundred and twenty-fourth year1 ,athlyi spake aloud1 saying3 #b4 ,behold ,i saw the heaven draped in black1 and ,i saw ,angel ,douglas sitting in a mourning robe1 moreover the celestial saints of ,ethiopia were in deep sorrow4 #c4 ,and it came to pass that ,i continued to look1 and behold ,i saw a natural man standing before ,angel ,douglas1 and after a brief conversation1 the mighty ,angel conveyed him to the throne of ,elijah1 ,god of heaven and earth4 #d4 ,then upon the head of the natural man did ,elijah place a crown and on the front part of the crown there was a brilliant star whose light extended from heaven to the earth4 #e4 ,now when the crown was bestowed upon him1 behold the mourning apparel disappeared and there was joy in heaven4 #f4 ,and it came to pass that ,i saw a great host of ,negroes marching upon the earth and there was a light upon them1 then ,i looked towards the heaven and behold ,i saw the natural man standing in the east and the star of his crown gave light to the pathway of the children of ,ethiopia4 ,,chapter #d4 ,,apostles ,,exalted4 #a4 ,the following morning after ,athlyi's vision1 ,athlyi looked towards the
