ANGELS VISIT THEIR NEW HEAVEN
Ice-Cream, Watermelons And Hilarity New York, August 8. Two boatloads of "angels’’ of the negro evangelist, Father Divine, singing hilariously and provisioned with ice cream, soda water, and water melons, set sail on the Hudson to inspect the newest "heaven,” facing President Roosevelt’s estate. Wearing a grey suit, Divine boarded the “flagship” from a luxurious limousine, his followers yelling “Peace, Father.”
It was announced recently that 20 followers of Father Divine had purchased an estate of 500 acres directly across the Hudson River from President Roosevelt’s Hyde Park estate, where it was proposed to establish a new “heaven.”
