FATHER and MOTHER DIVNE.

His followers believe that this Code of Behavior is the basis for solving all social problems.

No Smoking No Drinking
No Obscenity No Vulgarity
No Profanity No Undue Mixing of Sexes
No Receiving of Gifts, Presents, Tips Or Bribes


This Code prohibits also the use of drugs, playing lotteries, bingo and all other forms of gambling. Homosexuality as well, is strictly prohibited, in accordance with the Holy Bible, as follows:

'Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.' If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination.' Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13


FATHER DIVINE SAYS:

'Firstly to be stressfully observed and admired as I establish it modestly, through Modesty, Virtue and Holiness, is a MODEST CODE to be instituted into society by the abstinence from all intoxicating liquors and all drugs of every kind. It will be instituted into society and be established as the MODEST CODE OF PERFECTION morally firstly, and thence a Spiritual Awakening.'


New Day April 7, 1951, p.15, Mobile Office Talk, April 1, 1951

'I have gone upon the mountain, and I AM dispensing the MODEST CODE down to the people, that they might live soberly, righteously, decently and honestly, not only in words, but in character, and in your characteristics, in your disposition, and in your ways and in your actions, and in your daily transactions.'


New Day September 19, 1953, p.6, given Pine Brook,september 7-8, 1953
