1) Introduction
In the last story early each morning, Father climbed the mountain to pray at a rocky place. It became known as the Rock of Tears, because he cried so much. Here he received revelation from God
and began writing the Divine Principle for the first time. The last chapter was written in the middle of the night by Won Pil Kim, as Father dictated it to him.

2) Tell the story
(a summary) The fighting between North and South Korea had stopped. Won Pil Kim got a job at an American army base, painting buildings. Father worked hard teaching people. But they only
just had enough money. Then, they learnt to paint pictures of American soldiers and make extra money. Won Pil Kim drew the faces and Father coloured the background.

c) How can children be good disciples to Father?
