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,” three pages, 8.5 x 11, The U. S. A. Northeastern Churches and Connections Under the Peace Mission Movement letterhead, October 25, 1948. Letter to Miss K. Stafford. In part: “I am glad to know your coin purse was found by one of MY followers, so that you could enjoy the return of that which was apparently lost. Of course, as I often say, ‘Nothing is lost in the Great Universal Mind Substance.’ However, if a person is not honest or has robbed others, then he may lose more than he has gained by dishonesty…I AM lifting up a Righteous Nation that is rich in honesty, brotherhood and peace…In a Democracy the Government is the people and when the people become righteous in heart and mind, they will not tolerate unrighteousness in government…I AM not only preaching Christianity in Action, but also real Americanism, Brotherhood, Democracy and true Judaism for the Principles of all are synonymous.” In fine condition, with some mild toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
