NEW YORK, April ii. (UP)-
An indignant, middle-aged house
wife last night heapcd new trou-
bies on the bold head of Father
Divine, Harlem's negro god by
suing him for $2,3l5 which she
said she gave him as a fee for
making her an "angel.'
The widow, Mrs. Barbara Jones,
white and slightly buxom. said
Father Divine not only failed to
make her an angel, but proved he
wasn't one by seducing her in his
"heaven" at Sayville, \. Y.
Mrs. Jones said she was lured
to Father Divine's "heaven' in
September, 1928, on his promise
to "bless her." give her everlast-
ing life and make her one of his
principal angels"
She had been there only a few
weeks. she said, when he came
into her room one night, SuppoS-
eddy to bless" her. She said II
turned out to be q different KIND
of blessing from what she had
been led 10 expect. :,

she explained.
At first Mrs. Jones said she re-
fused TO listen, saying: Father,
| didn't come here for this" La
ter on, she said. Father Divine
pointed out she could not become
an angel unless she submitted to
him. so she gave in.
ale claimed these mtimacieS
would bless me. because he was
god" Mrs. Jones explained. Il
believed what he said, and gave
up everything"
In addition to giving up her
virtue, she said she gave from
$40 to SIS week to Father Di-
vines "heavenly bank
She said she was so exalted by
the notion of becoming an angel
that after Father Divine's first
treatment, she went out and
burned 81, 900 worth OF stock IN
a radium company, took 500 out
of a bank which she turned over
to him. and destroyed deeds to
four lots she owned in WcStcheS-
ter county.
She said a year ago she became
convinced Father Divine was not
going to make her an angel, so
she quit his flock and asked for
her money back.
