The Peace Mission banquet service always ends with spontaneous song and dance. During dessert (when four or five diffrent sweet dishes are passed around), followers and guests will stand and give testimonials of faith, praise Father Divine or simply give thanks. Between these testimonials (as dishes are collectively cleared from the table), someone will be inspired to sing. The Peace Mission has their own treasury of songs that span their history and draw on many musical traditions. There will be shouts of joy, clapping, dancing and sometimes a follower will be "moved by the spirit." Miss Roma Graveur, a follower from Australia, talks about first connecting to Father Divine's sense of ryhthm and then we see a lively night at The Circle Mission Church on Broad Street in Philadelphia - one of many 50th Anniverssary banquet services.

I meet Ms. Graveur in 2001. She informed me that she would visit various mission around the world and take footage and show them to followers in other parts of the world - if I'm not mistaken.
The teachings of Father Divne as it relates to his followers has had a phenomenal affect. They look decades younger than they actually are.
