It was the 300th Ahn Shi Il, and Mrs. McDevitt read Father's speech for the assembly (held that evening at the Manhattan Center).
During the reading, Father asked Ambassadors for Peace how much they understand the precious value of True Parents. Also, he seriously asked them if they could continue to follow True Parents with the right understanding of Father, even if they were used and left.
He emphasized that without truly understanding True Parents in this period of the providence, one cannot enter the Heavenly nation. He also said True Parents were the only teachers and founders in the Heavenly nation.
Father asked one Ambassador for Peace if he had taken the position of the Boon Bong Wang of Mongolia, which has been vacant. He officially announced he had restored the Washington Times to the heavenly side, whose problems, according to Father, "was caused by communist-like people," and he clearly explained the mission and role of the Times.
Father also emphasized that the official name of the assembly this time (Washington and NY assembly in the 22nd, 27th in Las Vegas, and Dec. 4th in Seoul) is Universal Assembly to Proclaim the Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind. Its basic contents are the same as the speech Father had read at various occasions this year but he added some important points recently.
Father let many leaders to give testimonies and sing songs, including Dr. Lee, the continental director of Canada. To conclude the meeting everyone sang "Dae Han Pal Gyeong."
