It is an extremely pitiful reality that there are only a few people in the Unification Church who can lecture. If you still cannot lecture after studying that much, it is disastrous. I have told you countless times, until your inner ear drums are punctured, that as long as you can lecture well you can become successful. Those who can lecture only add up to this much; this is a grave problem. [Area leaders can also lecture well] Can they really lecture well? [Yes, they can] How many area leaders do we have? [About two hundred]

How long is the history of the Unification Church? In the past, president Hyo Won Eu used to lecture eighteen hours without any rest, every single day for three years and eight months. We have such a record. We did not have as many members as we do now. If a new person came, then he sat with him or her to lecture, and if there wasn't any new person, then he would just continue it with our members. Do you know this? [Yes] You know by hearing about it, or have you seen it yourself? [We know it through our own observation] There are probably a quite a few who have witnessed it. Those who saw, raise your hand. You do know about it.

At that time, we did not even have enough barley rice. As beggars in the town went around begging for food, they heard that the Unification Church is most generous in giving out food, but what they give is barley rice. So, when we gave the beggars barley rice, they threw it away as they walked out. That was the time that we could not even afford enough barley rice.

President Eu used to like salted fish, or was it salted shrimp.... No, it was some kind of anchovy, right? Do people from Chun-La province like to eat salted stingray? Is it stingray? [Yes] It is called Ka-O-Ri-stingray is also called Ka-O-Ri, right? [Yes] That rotten smell, people really like to eat that thing with the terrible rotten smell. President Eu also used to like that salted fish. When I went near by... I did not even like the smell of it. (laughter) It seems like yesterday that he used to munch on it and suck on it because there was little else to eat.... I sometimes think, "How wonderful would it be if President Eu is still alive." Even under such circumstances, he used to lecture for more than 18 hours a day. (172-46)

You should listen to me. My house, or any place that I am in, must never have a negative spiritual atmosphere, never... You have to understand it. For this reason, while I am staying here, someone should even come here and do a prayer vigil. The good atmosphere must be maintained. When you think about it, there is no one who thinks like this, other than I. I try as much as possible to maintain the atmosphere and press down on it until midnight, but you do not think about this kind of things. Even mother does not think about it.

The atmosphere of the spirit world and the earth should become like a spring garden. It always has to become like a spring garden. When the spring comes everything gains new life. Only when that happens will the atmosphere around here and the environment here all become sacred. Hearing the resurrected history, you should always try to create that kind of atmosphere. Then, an invisible electric current will reverberate throughout the whole universe. This is how I think.

When they broadcast from the stations, do they do it for the sake of one person? Although there might be only one person listening to it in the station, those who listen to the broadcast are found everywhere in heaven and earth. It is the same thing. We have to continue to broadcast. That was the reason for that harshness. (140-171)

You ought to lecture 24 hours. I am telling you to lecture for 18 hours. Although President Eu passed away, when it was the time for lecturing, he had to lay on his side and... How difficult must have been? His lungs must have felt pain and all, but when he did not continue to speak I would scold harshly, "You, you the trumpet blower of Heaven's dispensation, you should keep blowing on it when I tell you to blow on it for 18 hours. In the spirit world right now, they are making the preparations to blow, so how can you stop like this? Get on with it immediately!" He did it for three years and eight months. That is the record. You also have to do like that. Your two arms and two legs are in perfect condition, so...

So, if there are three or four members, when the leader lectures for 24, 18 hours, how can they not bring people along? How can they not witness? When he is putting so much effort for one person, when he is so desperate to pour his heart and soul to prevent one person from leaving after coming for a visit. So, you should try to lecture when there is no one listening to you. You have to try lecturing. However, these worthless ones start to lecture only after bringing someone over. (107-245)

Do you think I was sleeping when I had Mr. Eu lecture? I sat in the room upstairs and listened to everything. I had reports about the people who came. When I saw him come down in the evening to lecture and start to doze one minute after he began to speak, I prayed. There was such exchange of tears. I prayed in tears. You have to understand that there were such difficult circumstances. This is how miserable the history of the Unification Church was. Now, for what reason did I have to do that, and for what reason did he have to do that? Why did I do that, and why did he do that? It was because of God. If the spirit world does not work even after that, there can be no spirit world. There is no God. Do you understand?

It is the same for you. If someone keeps on coming over to visit you, you might find it annoying, but the question is whether or not you know who sent them, whether or not you know it was God or some other being that sent him. Without having made greater accomplishments in practice than that person, you cannot say you feel annoyed or tired. Therefore, President Eu went through a lot of suffering while he was lecturing for three years and eight months. The same thing holds true for me. When I give guidance, I do not guide people based on my subjective opinions or desires. You have to understand such things. (33-101)
