PASTOR OF '‘CATHEDRAL I OF THE AIR" — HAS SKY ! FOR WORLD-WIDE PULPIT ' There Is a new type Chureh with I neither roof nor walls in Chicago. , It fittingly bespeaks the language of the Twen-

■ ’ ■ Paul Rader /

I tieth Century. ' The sky is its only vault and the pulpit of this "Cathedral , of the Air,” is just a slender stand from which is suspended a tiny disk connecting mysteriously with its thousands of unseen parishioners I who comprise what is probably the largest single congregation in the world. These worshipers. who live all over the United States and Canada and even in the islands beyond

the seas, are assigned to numbered seats in imaginary pews, given to them for the asking as active comi municants of this aerial house of prayer, which has become an acknowledged power in the spiritual regeneration of America. Betfide their own receiving sets they kneel, taking part in the all-day Sunday services broadcast with only a short noonhour halt, from 10:30 A. M. until Midnight, under auspices of the World-Wide Christian Couriers and Chicago Gospel Tabernacle on a wave-length of 389.4 meters, or 770 ; kilocycles. Central Standard Time. Paul Rader, internationally famous evangelist, and one of the outstanding Fundamentalist leaders under the banner of the late William Jennings Bryan, is pastor. He is a churchman who, all along, persistently has refused to accept any kind of ecclesiastical title. Serving without one penny of salary, he donates all his time and cervices free of charge to the aerial 1 ehurch, which, as another unique feature, is maintained entirely by tree will offerings. Its ministry under Mr. Rader's guidance is not concerned with sect or dogma, but rather with the inculcation of religion as a principle, and vital, interesting experience. in the lives of all its farflung flock. On the wings of wireless, as a "America's Spiritual Power House,” the Cathedral 6f the Air, has bound together more than a million homes in non-sectarian fellowship based upon a living Gospel rather than organization tenets.

SUFFERED WITH RHEUMATIC PAINS SINCE AGE OF 14 Konjola Ended His Misery And Improved Health In General |k i ■ MR. RALPH WHITFIELD "I am a man of 28, and ever since 1 was a child of H 1 suffered with rheumatism in my arms and knees,” said Mr. Ralph Whitfield, 625 North P. rry Ave., Peoria, Hl. “My joints were so stiff that I could hardly lift myself out of bed in the morning and it took the biggest part of the day to get myself limbered up. The pains were terrible. During all these yeans I couldn’t find anything to help me and my condition was getting worse all the time, and I didn’t know what it was to get a full night’s sleep. “An improvement came over my whole system as soon as I started with Konjola. I continued with several bottle of this medicine and now I am in perfect condition again. The rheumatism is entirely gone. I feel I owe it to other sufferers to indorse this surprising medicine.” Konjola is sold in Decatur at Smith Yager & Falk drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this section.
