BIO:Paul Rader

1879-1938
American evangelist and pastor. Paul Rader was born in 
Denver, Colorado. The son of a Methodist minister, he was 
converted to Christ as a boy and became a soloist in his fa-
ther's meetings. He was educated in the University of Denver, 
the University of Colorado, and did postgraduate study at 
Harvard.
        During this time, in college, he drifted into liber-
alism and entered a business partnership. While walking near 
New York City's Times Square, God spoke to him through an 
illuminated sign. He rented a room nearby and fell on his 
face before the Lord, and his life was changed. He left his 
business and entered the ministry. His pastorates included 
Congregational Church in Boston, Christian and Missionary Al-
liance Tabernacle in Pittsburgh (1912-15), Moody Memorial 
Church in Chicago (1915-21), Chicago Gospel Tabernacle (1922-
33), and Gospel Temple in Fort Wayne, Indiana (1936-37).
        He served as president of the Christian and Mission-
ary Alliance from 1921 to 1923. His radio broadcasts were 
heard on various Chicago stations as well as the CBS network. 
He was instrumental in sending scores of missionaries to 
countries all over the world, in addition to influencing hun-
dreds of young men to enter the ministry.

ARTIST'S NOTE: Rader is conservative in everything, as the 
picture indicates.
