Mrs. McDevitt read Father's speech titled "Parents are the Original Point of History," given at the former Korean headquarters on March 29, 1968 when the 9th anniversary of Parents' Day was celebrated. That day, leaders from True World Foods joined True Parents at the meeting. In her reading the following is a part of Father's words.
"In this world there are people who are proud of having days to celebrate. But you must understand that when the Kingdom of Heaven is realized, the fact they celebrated those days becomes a shameful thing to remember."
After she read Father's prayer, Father spoke. "Wherever you go, you must be united. Fallen people cannot become one even for a minute. (As a Chinese proverb says) The human mind changes from morning to evening but nature remains the same. The point is simple and you must know where you start, what kind of process you go through and where you are finished with. Your start must be with God, your process must be with God, and your final destination must be with God."
"Kamiyama and Furuta (who are both shedding tears), are you united with each other? (Showing the file in his hands which contains an updated version of Father's speech 'Cosmic World Assembly to Proclaim the Establishment of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind and the Substantial Word of God', This is my educational material for kings and ministers in your nation. This is not for your education. This is a secret document that I will tell at the end but let's read this. 'Korea, where True Parents were born, will be perfected, completed and concluded as God's homeland.' There have been good kings and ministers among your ancestors. So if people in your country do not participate for perfecting God's will, I will choose your good ancestors for that sake, not from those who live now in Japan."
(Reading the final words of the speech) 'I with the name of True Parents pray that the blessings of God, the king of kings, will be upon you, your family and your nation.' I am giving you this blessing under the name of True Parents. This means I as True Parent take responsibility for this. With the name of True Parents."
Mr. Kamiyama, Mr. Futruta and all the participants sang a Japanese song 'I go the path of God's will' together with Father. Rev. Yang sang a Korean song 'Gohyang Moojeong', and then Father sang "San Yoo Hwa" changing the lyrics in Japanese encouraging Japanese members. After his song, he said
"I sang this song when I felt lonely. Looking towards Japan over the Sea of Genkai, I miss, shedding tears, God's homeland where everybody can be united. I think my tears are still alive with vivid color in the Sea of Genkai. My heart I had while enduring the difficulties of living in Japan is still alive. I was there not to destroy Japan but to save her. I believe what I wanted to do is still to be realized in the future of Japan, and so I do not hesitate to pray for Japan with a true heart. If you are united, you can save Japan."
