Re: The opening of The Artist Colony Extension

The Milton Artists Colony

Excerpt:

"You have the privilege to go to the great, the famous ARTIST COLONY in Milton, New York, widely known throughout the country and in other countries. This Colony has been purchased by the followers of FATHER DIVINE; it is owned and operated by them. It has been renovated in a great measure. There we expect to have a real demonstration and Dedication of that particular Extension assembly, for the purpose of the Peace Mission Movement and for the benefit of all who may be interested.

The dock is just about finished. It is right on the Hudson and the dock has been finished to accommodate any boat any size boat going up the Hudson. This is accomplished by the co-operative system of the FATHER DIVINE PEACE MISSION MOVEMENT. His followers purchased and renovated the Colony and have made all improvements, so that you will be privileged to enjoy the same up there as down here in the City.

On the boat.

Again, I wish to say, on the same date, we may stop at another one of the extensions the greatest of all, recently purchased and now owned and operated by the Peace Mission co-workers. If we stop off at this other place, it may not be that you would desire to keep on up to Kingston, as this also has a wharf for landing our boats; after which we are going on up to the Greenkill Park, purchased, owned and operated by the FATHER DIVINE PEACE MISSION followers those who are governed by His Mind and Spirit and have brought themselves into subjection to It.

Note: Two Day Outing, Boat- round trip -Adults $1.00, Children up to 18 - Free. All are welcome.
