NOTE: These notes are taken from a Peace TV video clip. They cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication of True Father's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message. - Rev. Katsumi Kambashi

Mrs. McDevitt read Father's speech from the Sermon of the Rev. Moon volume 54, titled "In Order to Give Good DP Lectures" given in Germany on March 24, 1972.

In the speech, Father advised that one should practice their lectures chapter by chapter rather than trying to cover from the beginning the whole contents of the DP. For example, if one practices their lectures only on the Principle of Creation for one month, they can have a clear understanding of it. He also emphasized that every each person can give lectures without exception. The "Original Copy of the Principle" has 556 pages and if one memorizes two pages per day, they can be finished with the whole book within a year.

Father also advised to have guts in standing in front of the audience and to think that "people have been mobilized here from the world who want to listen to me most." Father said the lecturers need to think "they are my sons and daughters" and then we can feel much closer to and responsible for the listeners.

Father said that by evaluating our audience by checking their responses, we need to rank them intro three categories. The most difficult types are put into the first rank, and the lecturer needs to fight against them. Father said we need to check their faces after 10 minutes to see if they become more stern or become relaxed, without being noticed by them that we are checking it. Also lecturers need to make the audience to be relaxed with laughter: once they laugh, they come to listen to the lecture.

Father also explained how to behave and walk when giving a lecture, and the importance of having adequate facial expressions as a lecturer and the ability to sing songs. Father emphasized "being natural and flexible" at the podium and "to become a necessary person" for the audience. Father talked about the prayer in public, in which he emphasized the poetic sense as being necessary. Father said the necessity of listening to others' lectures as much as possible so that they can learn from there.

Father concluded by saying one needs to practice as much as possible so that they can be relaxed in lecturing and become creative.


Father said "First, you need to train yourself. Second, you should be relaxed. Third, you should adjust yourself to the needs of the audience, this is important."

The following are some of Father's words after the reading.

The truth taught in Unificationism is great. You have to know that there are no other teachings in the world which are more organized than ours."

"Those who do not have confidence can not become successful."

After the establishment of the Abel Women UN this time, women must advance further than men."

"Originally, I was destined to live up to 117 years. (Father said here "사주팔자를 보게되면") I didn't believe it in the beginning but I have already become 93 years

(@lovintp) 훈독회 말씀을할때 어떨때는 나도 말문이 막히고 내용이 생각이 안나서 앞이깜깜할때도 있었다구요.그러기에 말씀을 준비할때는 많은연습과 훈련이 필요합니다.그래야 여유를갖게되고 그곳에서 창조가나옵니다.얼굴의표정이 내용과화합이되어 호흡을맞추어야한다는것입니다.

(@lovintp in English) Hoon Dok Hoe: When I would give the Word of God, there were times when I would be stuck for words and couldn't remember what I was going to say. For this reason, I needed to prepare and practice well before I spoke. This was necessary to that I could feel relaxed. This is the place where something new can be created. The facila expressions match the content. The breathing also needs to match up."
