Father Devine
May Steam Off
This Sordid Earth
Must Be in Court
Monday Unless He
Just Evoporotes'
Dy the Associated Press.

~ the hSSOCldlco 1tCSo.
NEW YORK, Dec 2.-Harlem's
bald-pated little Father Divine
brooded tonight over whether he
might not just ''evaporate for 1900
years" in disgust over lawsuit that
may expose the secrets of his multi
million-d dollar religious cult.
Father is very, very disgusted,"
said one of his disciples. "He may
just evaporate."
Barring a carrying-out of this
threat to steam off" the terrestrial
premises, the erstwhile Baltimore
odd-jobs man who became the
Messiah of thousands of dusky,
peace shouting angels" will 60 on
trial Monday in State Supreme
Court in an equity action for $4,476
brought by one of his recanting fol-
lowers.
Interested in Eternal Life.
IT paid all this money" said the
complainant, Mrs. Verinda Brown, a
cook, "in the belief that unless I did
so I was doomed to everlasting
misery and that by giving the
money to Father Divine. was de-
posting it in his heavenly treasury
and was in that way assured OF
eternal life"
Mrs. Brown, who said she was also
acting for four or five other ex-
"angelS" with claims totalling about
$1,000 said her interest in Divine's
peace, amt you glad?" movement
began to curdle when the pudgy, s.
foot preacher became "too grasping"
and demanded most of her huS-
bands wages.
She is seeking, in addition, re-
ceivership to restrain Father Di-
vine and his followers from dispos-
ing of any of his myriad chain
system extension heavens"-in-
cluding about % Manhattan prop
critics and so rural heavens"
among them a rolling 500-acre es-
tate at Krum Elbow, across the Hud-
son River from President Roose-
velt's Hyde Park home
AS Divine himself once said: 1--WE
got a-plenty, a-plenty of buildings"
Avoided Mundane Affairs.
Divine's financial affairs un-
doubtedly will play a major part in
the trial-and just as undoubtedly
the cultist will be as nebulous in
his answers as he was three years
ago, when Isaac Bayless of Aber-
deem, Md, tried to collect S7,724 in
damages for injuries suffered in a
collision with one of Father Di-
vines busses.
On that occasion Divine said,
dreamily, that he took no part in
such mundane affairs as money.
Has any one presented you with
money or property in the last two
years?" he was asked.
mot that I know Of" murmured
Divine.
In September, 1888, didn't Re-
becca Grace follower, put $130 in
your hand?"
"If she did I must have been
asleep"
Have any of your followers given
you their worldly possessions?" he
was pressed.
Father Divine shook his head.
Nothing is mine, nothing is mine,"
he said, Wearily.
