1945年1月20日，重庆成立了国际宗教联合研究会。是年夏初，发起人为了撰写宣言，便组织扶乩，当时扶抬乩笔者为继明与玄存二人，由仁道（王正延）与印川（李庭祺）负责宣读记录。济公降临乩坛，为研究会题写宣言，曾经出任中国驻印度等国外交使节、信奉基督教的卢春芳先生，亲眼目睹了此事。济公以“锺灵毓秀”为韵，以葩经体诗题写了《国际宗教联合研究会宣言》：
第一节
大道之行
To bring the highest ideals of God into practice,
天下为公
The best world can be made without prejudice.
不分彼此
‘This’ and ‘that’, is needless to say.
无论西东
Or ‘east’ and ‘west’, anyway.
大如宇宙
As large as the whole universe,
小似鱼虫
Or as small as an insect or a fish.
形体有异
They differ only in body and size,
灵性终同
With the same soul in each.

To look upon the heaven above,
仰视宵冲
And down to the ground below.

Many a thousand changes may occur,
不离其中
But all the same are governed by law.
纯乎自然
This seems quite natural.

To sing different songs with equal skill.

Created by God in forms wet or dry.

Such a huge system is of no border,
静躁不同
With a content of bodies large and small.

They may be in motion or at rest.
无细弗容
That’s the only difference after all.
有象易见
With image, one can easily observe.
无形难穷
Lest one can’t even comprehend.
天命莫测
The ways of providence are oftentimes,
自始至终
Inscrutable from beginning to end.
生来何自
Where were we born from?
死去何从
Where shall we pass away to?
真理常在
Causes and effects are rather complicate.
因果错综
Yet the truth is always true.
第二节
无化无灭
Unchangeable and indestructible is,

The true essence-This one soul.

We resort to the great kindness of God.

All things molded within.

乩坛上诗文完成后，“济公”要求在场者译成英文，但无一人敢译，于是“济公”自己翻译成英文，并嘱咐在场者广为传播等。当时正值抗战胜利前夕，“济公”在乩文中预言了战后以维护世界和平为己任的联合国的成立，“永久和平，殆属天授”告诉我们，新的世界大战不会再来。当时令在场者百思不解的是：济公本是宋代高僧，何时学会的英文？
