He was devoutly religious and had a peculiar way of getting tangled up {in his testimony. “God” he would ‘shout “is personified and materialized. God is not only personified and ma- terialized.

The ‘bourne air race. ‘writ reads simply “John Doe, alias God”. The jury declared him to be of tips from famous coaches and players, unsound mind and ordered him to ‘leave the state immediately. There also lis a record of his having served a 60- day sentence on a chain gang in Sa- {vannah and a clipping, telling of the wreck of a car full of prison inspect- ors, which has been inscribed by Fath- er Divine as follows “Be sure your sins {will find you out.” By easy stages, The Messenger came North to New York and founded a cult in which his followers turned over to him the money they earned. He went through a long series of ups and downs in or nearby New York and during the World War became Major J. Devine. George Baker, the hedge-clipper, had been born the third time. Soon after he {was born a fourth time, becoming Rev. J. Divine. and almost immediately after became Father Divine (God).

It is likely that thousands of people contribute to his support, but no one has ever been able to pin a case of fraud on him. Investigators have plant- ed colored people close to him in an ef- fort to find out where his vast sums of money come from but each time they have had to give up. Even his Anegels—his most loyal supporters— profess that “everything comes to him automatically because he’s God.” His “Heavens”, the apartment houses he ‘leases to his Angels and followers are fire traps and health menaces but au- thorities are afraid to condemn them because of the political strength of his followers. ; 3 , Which brings us to Dr. Beskin’s story about Mayor LaGuardia. There is no evidence that New York’s Mayor is a follower. It is true, however, that in’ 1933, when LaGuardia was a candi- date for mayor, he called on Father Divine at one of his nightly meetings and said: “TI came here tonight to ask Father Divine’s help and counsel. Whatever he wants, I'll do it for him.” Sigel The judge who died after sentencing Father Divine probably contributed as much to George Baker's rise as any- one. In 1931 the Suffolk County District Attorney had Father Divine arrested. He was brought to trial in Nassau County, before Justice Lewis J. Smith on a charge of being a public nuisance. After a bitter and highly prejudiced charge to the jury, which returned a verdict of guilty, Justice Smith fined CN - hd “No more grey!

ADVERTISEMENT Father Divine $500 and sentenced him to one year in jail. Four days later Justice Smith died. He had been a robust man and was only fifty-five years old. His physici- ans said his death was caused by heart failure. Later the decision was reversed and the Angels acclaimed a complete victory for Father Divine (God).
