African-American spiritual leader (1876-1965) whose Peace Mission sect demanded worship of him as God incarnate and communal celibate living. TLS signed “Rev. M. J. Divine, M. S. D.,” one page, 8.5 x 11, The U. S. A. Northeastern Churches and Connections Under the Peace Mission Movement letterhead, March 25, 1948. Letter to Kenneth E. Crouch, in full: “I AM writing to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 6th and the enclosure for MY attention. I do not as a rule conform to the policy of men in signing autographs, for the Supreme Work of MY Mission is dedicated to changing the hearts and minds of the children of men, that they may no longer be bound to the corruptible versions and tendencies of men, but that they may get a new mental and Spiritual birth of freedom under God.
It is for this cause that I would that MY Nature and MY Characteristics may be imprinted in the soil of the souls of the people, for as they get MY Likeness mentally and Spiritually, then will they materialize that which they subconsciously gaze upon, becoming to be as this leaves ME, as I All Well, Healthy, Joyful, Peaceful, Lively, Loving, Successful, Prosperous and Happy in Spirit, Body and Mind and in every organ, muscle, sinew, joint, limb, vein and bone and even in every ATOM, fibre and cell of MY BODILY FORM.” In fine condition, with a few faint stains.
