(Eeceived 9, 10.40. a.m.) NEW YORK, Nov, 8. A Kingston message states that Father Divine's "Super Heaven*' was burned to the ground while husky negro "angels" chanted: "Heaven's on fire. Let her burn. Father will build ohe more beautiful." "Angels" guarded the roads leading to the estate on which the yellow-paint-ed, 80-roomed mansion was situated
and threatened sightseers and even endeavoured to block firemen. They seized news photographers' films, explaining: "The Lord does not like this kind of stuff." The fire is the climax to asequence of misfortunes suffered by Father Divine recently, including the fire in the Minor Heaven on April 24.
