1) Significance of the Hometown District School

The tendency of unification is maturing in four directions: east, west, north and south. If the Korean people doesn't stand up for the way of unification, I will try to extend it by bringing Japanese and American people. We will enlighten people with allotment by bringing famous international scholars to the city, the county and the whole nation. If it were like this, how shameful it is! As a Korean people, it would be so shameful if unification, which is our Korean desire, was achieved by a foreigner. Reverend Moon managed to build Hometown District Schools in the whole nation centered on professors from this nation.

Today, we already established and are operating these Hometown District Schools in about a hundred places in the whole nation. Actually, when the Communist party invaded South Korea, they organized in the farming and fishing villages centered on the young people who were so poor and couldn't study. In this age of unification of North and South, the Hometown District Schools offer an opportunity for young people to get an education who otherwise couldn't do so due to extreme poverty, thereby in effect taking out an object for the Communist party to try to organize. Also, in this age of unification, we can organize the whole nation centered on the Hometown District School to oppose the Communist Party; this is the work of "killing three birds with one stone." Is there any better way to love the nation and to love our hometown than by educating people centered on the Second Generation through the Hometown District Schools? This is the highest form of love to reach the universal principle. From our hometown districts we have to build the heartistic foundation. Then for the very first time, our ancestors can be restored through this heartistic foundation.

When your ancestors come through Seoul, where do they go to visit? What kind of condition is necessary so that they can be resurrected? The place where they want to go and the place they long for is their hometown. Same as our ancestors, whom do we visit and share love with? In an unknown city or in Seoul, what do you long for in your heart? If to study and succeed in life, that is only for you and not for your parents. So we have to build the traditional foundation which can continue for future generations to get cooperation from spirit world and restore spirit world. In order to do so, we have to develop to build the Hometown District Schools. Everything is for welcoming the time of heavenly fortune. (April 7, 1988)

For the sake of God's Will, we have to save our hometown districts, don't we? However, who can save their own hometown district? We try to save them by organizing professors centered on the Hometown District Schools. Then this will be the amazing foundation. (Jan. 21, 1988)
