New Day, newspaper published by
the Divine cult. 1t contained the
wedding speech made by the bride
and comments by Father Divine
himself at gathering at the Circle
Mission Church-cult headquarters
here on July 20.
| Said the bride then: AT this time
I would like to publicly thank Father
for this great blessing and honor OF
legally marrying the Lamb of God
1t is something that never dreamed
of and I know you never dreamed
/ of -
Father, dear, because I know you
are God, l redeclare, as I have
vowed and solemnly sworn, not tc
oind you as woman would natural
man, but free you to love anc
bless whomsoever you desire to bless
and when and wheresoever, for il
is my hearts desire and pleasure
TO see your kingdom come on earth
and to see everybody as happy as
1 am, if not happier"
"* '* For as you have chosen
me to reign with you, l thank you
TO always be pleasing in your sight
and fit sample and example oi
the Virginity of Mary!
Father Divine replied, according
to the New Day:
Il have often taught, if a person
in mortal consciousness would gel
married, they should not find as
much fault in the person before
they marry as one-fourth of a
grain of mustard seed. And il
cut in four parts! If that is there
before. how about after. 1t may
grow! Therefore I find no fault
I am well pleased!'
Father Divine. in an address to
the wedding banquet, said the new
marriage would let carry from shore
to shore" the message that he had
arrived on earth Ito crush Hitlerism
and barbarism that brings misery
and failure"

bulance call.
The item, recommended bv the
District Emergency Ambulance
Service Committee, will be con.
sldered for possible inclusion in the
l948 budget estimates.
Two other recommendations oi
the committee were referred by the
city heads to the District Space
Committee: A call for a thorough
investigation of the housing prob
lens for ambulances and attendant
personnel at the Health Department
In Municipal Center, and a recon-
mendation that proper garage and
housing space for ambulances and
personnel be made available at Gal

The report, signed by DR.. John
A. Reed, chairman, included a copy
OF letter from F. X. Dowd, assist
ant chief inspector for the Health
Department, in which Mr.. Dowd
termed the Municipal Center base
ment quarters occupied by ambu-

poorly ventilated"
Acting on a fourth recommenda-
ton OF the service, the Commission
erS overrode a request of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations ap-
proving permanent assignment to
Emergency Hospital of one ambu-
lance. The Federation had advo-
Gated returning to use one out-of-
service ambulance assigned to Emer-
gency to give the hospital its orig
nally assigned quota of two.
The city heads recommended that
the superintendent of Gallinger
Hospital be instructed to improve

The federation had pointed out that
ambulance parking facilities at Gal
llnger were lacking, as was adequate
space for personnel.

thorities in their efforts to purchase

this marriage of mine, according to
what Mother said before her passing
several years ago-but that marriage
was the same as this one, not to
propagate vice and crime, self
indulgence, human affection, lust

Industrial Labor Relations
(by George DeMar for CNS)

(by George DeMar for CNS)
When nearly 1900 people crowded their way into Madi-
son Square Garden for the rally sponsored by the National
Council on Fair Employment, many Americans Of all
creeds, races and cOlOrs took a renewed hope and faith i'm
the integrity of America. Rankins may rant, a handful of
senators may temporarily slow the wheel of progress and
necessary employment legislation, but the will of the ma
jOrity of the American people cannot be killed. Fair en-
ployment legislation is not dead. 1t was downed, but has
not stayed down. Once again, rallying strength for a
March on Washington, A. Philip Randolph again let it be
known that the war for human rights is not lost through
the loss of a skirmish or battle.
Throughout. the United States where men have a sense Of
values. where fair play is not just a phrase, where econom-
ic opportunity is recognized as the basis for al. living. there
must have been a pounding of hearts when Mrs. Franklin
ship, then here at home we must see that all of us as citiz-
ems of this greatest democracy have equality of opporiun-
ity."
The National Urban League is this month entering its
fourteenth Vocational Opportunity Campaign. This Cam
paign is designed to help Negro youth to prepare today for
tomorrow's opportunities. 1t has a new ring az placards
ask 'Jobs for all to protect Americas future, PrOtestants,
Catholics, Jews" The Negro is part and parcel of Ameri-
ca. He, like other Americans, must have training in all
the fields of industrial and cultural endeavor. The time is
NOW for the youth of America, Negroes in particular, To-
take a renewed determination based upon sound counsel
ing and advice, to train for work in fields hitherto untried
by them.
Be ready! Fair Employment Practices Legislation is
coming! 1t is coming as sure as this is America. 1t il a
job for hard-hitting politicians and does not belong to any
party. So with renewed fight let's tell each district leader,
each county chairman, each state leader, each national
chairman that: no Fair Employment Legislation, then your
candidate is out!

cidents are caused by traffic violations.
This, Captain Sanders reported, is evidenced oy the fact
that the Patrol made Fl percent more arrests during Febr.
uary than in January.
Excessive speed was the greatest single offender with l48
arrests. Careless or reckless driving accounted Tor 50 ar
rests and stop sign violations 81. Drunken driving brot
about 40 arrests which was an increase over January's 81

4Ol Motorists received written warnings for careless
driving practices, while 1857 other motorists received vo-

Do we need another bitter lesson to learn that there can
