MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY. APRIL 12. 1942. PAGE THREE Reception for Divines To Mark Termination Of Local Pastorate Rev. Sherman Landon Divine, D. D., will be tendered a pub lic reception In the social hall of the Presbyterian church Wednes day evening. In recognition of the termination of his six year's pastorate here. A native son of Michigan, Dr. Divine was born in Holly, Octo ber 17, 1876, took his B. A. de gree at Alma College in 1898 and . his B. D. at McCormick Theolog ical Seminary in 1901. He has held pastorates in Morgan Park and Chicago, 111., Marinette, Wis., Detroit, Mich., Bozeman, Mont., Spokane, Wash., Rochester, N. Y Sacramento, Cal., Olympla and Seattle, Wash., and Medford, Oregon. As a builder of churches Dr. Divine is nationally known. While still a student pastor in Michigan he built churches at ' Omena and Suttons Bay and during his important pastorates in Detroit and Sacramento, new edifices were erected through his tireless and skillful efforts. Dr. Divine married Mary Inei Nye of Detroit in 1901. They have two sons and a daughter. He was a member of the exec utive committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church of the U.S.A. (1916-20). and a member of the Washing ton Arbitration board in 1936. He was chaplain of the senate of California (1931-32) and held . the similar position in the sen ate of Washington State (1933). Among his outstanding secu lar activities have been: Conserv ation directo r of the national (1916-18); intermountain chair man of the Near East Relief . food administration under Hoov- ' er in the state of Washington, (1918-23); chairman of the Near East Relief Commission to Rus sia, Turkey and Greece, (1921); active membership in the Rotary clubs of Spokane, Rochester, Sacramento, and Olympia; pres ident of the Oregon State, and of the local chapter of the So ciety of the Sons of the Ameri can Revolution (1940-41); trustee of Whitworth College (1915-26). Dr. Divine has long been ac tive in Masonic work. He is a Knights Templar and has also received the thirty-second degree in the Scottish Rite branch with the honorary degree, the Knights Commander Court of Honor. In 1916 the College of Montana conferred upon him the honor ary degree of Doctor of Divin ity, and Whitworth College gave that of Doctor of Laws' in 1923. He was trustee of the latter col I lege from 1915-26. Twice Dr. Divine has been around the world; once as the guest of his Detroit parishoners in token of their appreciation of his labors in financing their new church building, and a second time in connection with the Near - East Relief Commission. Dr. Divine came to Medford when the church was heavily in debt and leaves it with a debt of only $12,000 in bonds. Under his leadership membership of the church has been greatly increas ed. He has been Moderator of the Presbytery of Oregon and a faithful worker. Having reached the age of retirement from ac tive ministry he has tendered his resignation from the pastorate of the church, effective April 17, and it has been accepted with a sincere expression of apprecia tion of his excellent and faith ful work here. Dr. Divine and a his wife will be greatly missed from the life of the community. It is expected that many Jackson county friends will attend the farewell reception next Wednes day evening.

' 'w - i "-' -n - Divine SALES TAX SEEN IP MORE REVENUE REQUESTS FILEO Washington, April 11 (JP House ways and means com mittee members said today that any administration request for an increase in its seven billion dollar tax program would make some form of a sales tax certain. Discussing reports that Presi dent Roosevelt might revise sharply upward his tax request as a means to help control infla tion, the committeemen said that in that case some kind of consumer tax already endorsed by a majority could not be avoided. Secretary Morgenthau said re cently he was standing by his request for $7,610,000,000 more revenue, "until there is a public announcement by the president" of a change in the estimate. "Any increase would make a sales tax inevitable," said Rep. Knutson (R., Minn.) and he was joined by Representatives Tread way (R.t Mass.) and Disney (D., Okla.) Most ' of the committeemen have said that in no event could congress take more than $3,000, 000,000 additional from indi viduals and an equal amount from corporations. Those two proposals formed the basis for Morgenthau's program present ed to congress on March 3. Chairman Doughton (D., N. C.) has expr.t sed preference for a manufacturers sales tax, if any such levy were to be made. But witnesses have testified that such a form would lead to end less pyramiding of the tax, with the ultimate consumer price much higher than the amount imposed. AGED MAN SOUGHT Port Orchard. April 11 OP) The Kitsap county sheriffs of fice today issued a state-wide request that James S. Williams 70, be detained for questioning in connection with the slaying of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lil lian Williams, 57, at the Wil liams home at Fragaria. An autopsy disclosed two rifle bullet wounds, in the chest and back. Her husband, Winston niinams, fuget sound navy yard shipfitter, who found her dead in their home early yes terday, identified a note nearby as having been written by his father. The note said the elder Wil liams would be found dead, but a widespread search failed to disclose his whereabouts. Dr. HODGE'S CLUB 44 SOUTH CENTRAL OU We Extend To All A Friendly Welcome.
