Excerpt (3/4 minute) from tape T1 in Collection 351, oral history interview with Burt Long (missionary who was influenced by Rader) recorded by Heather Conley on November 26, 1986.
LONG: When the Tabernacle closed down during the Depression it was because they put so much money into food relief for poor people that they just went broke. Couldn't raise enough money to justify their heavy program of giving to...food to the poor people. That...two churches arose from it. One was the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle with a different pastor, and he started over as a very small church. And another church was founded by Lance Latham, who was the musical director and boys and girls work director of Paul Rader's. And that started by meeting in different hotel, any room that we could find. And I was in the group that went out with Dr. Latham or Lance Latham.
