Religion: Divine Ultimatum

Father Divine whose followers worship him as God, had a run-in with worldly authorities. Speeding down from Newark, N.J. to his headquarters heaven in Philalelphia in a four-limousine convoy a fortnight ago, Father Divine found himself stopped by a New Jersey Turnpike patrolman. The patrolman complained that the drivers of all four Cars—Philip Love Life, Patience Sweet Precious, Willing Heart and Anita Daire—had been doing 70 on a 60-m.p.h. turnpike. Further, the trooper (whose name happened to be Peter Freelove) led the convoy to the nearest turnpike exit, where each driver was obliged to pay a $10 fine plus $5 costs.
