Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- President Kim Il Sung, the eternal sun of the humankind, devoted his whole life for the people.
    In the period of the anti-Japanese war Pak In Jin, Tojong of the Chondoist Religion, asked the President what he worships, like the Chondoists believe in the "Heaven". Then the President said: "Of course there is something I believe in like God: the people. I have been worshipping the people as Heaven, and respecting them as if they were God. My God is none other than the people. Only the popular masses are omniscient and omnipotent and almighty on earth. Therefore, my lifetime motto is 'The people are my God'".
    The President embarked on the road of revolution in his early years, shouldering the destiny of the country and the nation. He waged the sanguinary anti-Japanese war for twenty years to liberate the country and to save the Korean people from their fate of colonial slavery.
    After the liberation of the country he led the efforts to enforce all the democratic reforms including the agrarian reform and the nationalization of industries to make the people to be the master of the land, factories and the country. And he beat back the armed invasion started by the U.S. imperialists in an attempt to conquer the young DPRK, the cradle of happiness of the people, thus protecting the destiny of the country and the nation.
    During the whole period of leading the revolution and construction, he continued his on-the-spot guidance and exerted his heart and soul to bring the happiness of the people in full bloom.
    In his lifetime, the President always found himself among the people in factories, rural and fishing villages and other parts of the country, covering a long journey of more than 578,000 kilometers.
    The whole life of President Kim Il Sung will shine long in the human history as a life of a peerlessly great man unprecedented in the world history of great persons.
