Excerpt (1 minute) from tape T4 in Collection 38, oral history interview with Virginia Latham, wife of Tabernacle musician and youth leader Lance Latham.

LATHAM: Paul Rader was still there when the Depression was on. And people's homes were foreclosed, nice people, good people, middle class people. They lost everything. And he was feeding them in the Tabernacle. He sent out a let...a message to bakeries, stores, meat markets, everything to send their food over to us and we would give it to them. And he had a crowd in that Tabernacle every single day that listened to the gospel of grace first and then they went in and got their packages of food according to the size of their family. My mother worked with the clothes and there they clothed a lot of people who had lost everything. These were hard times. It was a wonderful time. I wouldn't have missed it for anything, but it was not easy, but God was in it.
