Thu second of three articles on
the life of Aimee Bumble Dic-
Phersoo tells how the magic of
the woman evangelist'e words
gripped Los Angeles and brought
forth one of the greatest templél
of worship in the land.
_ The; EVENING “Mormons” NORWALK, CONN.
PAGE THREE
By ALLENE SUMNER.
Two "shows" vie for the attentl'On
of tourists on the Pacific coast. One
is the race tracks and gambling done
of Tia Juana. The other is the
Aimee Bemple McPherson religious
ceremonies in Angelus Temple at
Los Angeies.
Radically different in character.
they are alike to the extent both are
colorful bizarre.
Both play to packed houses.
The tourist learns very quickly
that wedging his way into one of the
6.000 free seats of Aimee McPher-
son’s great “House That God Built"
is no easy feat.
Five years ago it was that the
most widely known woman evangel-
ist of all times parked her “gospel
auto" on a side street of Los Ange-
les. With her were her mother. Mrs.
Minnie Knnedy. and her two child-
ren. They had motored across the
country from New York.
Only five years ago! But that day
last May when Aimee seemed to
have disappeared into the sea at
Ocean Park. no less than 20.000 of
her followers despaired on the shore.
They commanded God to "give us a
sign!"
They cast themselves
waves. some to drown—
“ They sent blasts of dynamite down
into the sea watching terror-frozen
for what the sea might yield—
They flew in planes over the deep,
looking for their "sign"—
They sobbed and moaned at sight
of their loved prophet's green bath-
ing cap bouncing on the wares—
kissed it. fought to touch it!
A Mark on Heart and Soul
Thus in five years-had Aimee
Sempie McPherson put her mark
upon the heart and soul 0: this
growing city of the coast.
The vast white hulk of her Ange-
lus Temple crowned the hills. Aimee
herself was reputed a millionaire.
Her daily overhead at the temple
was 811.000.
How had she done it?
'It all began as that rickety "gos-
pel auto" wheezed across the plains.
Aimee. standing by the chugging en-
gine. talking of God to bewildered
crowds, begging them for "God's
titheJH. .
Work-roughened hands of the
farm and factory. polished-nailed
hands of the professional world. dug
down for Aimee.
“For my great Temple!" she told
them.
She went to Los Angeles. she said.
because her little daughter. Roberta.
recovering from illness. asked to go
where it was always sunshine and
where she could have a yellow bird
that would sing all the time.
No Temple At First
There was no million-dollar leni-
ple t first. Mrs. McPherson gave
her ramatic movie-illustrated eer-
mons in store rooms.- Her first
crowds of 10 became .500 and the
second time she preached. Even lar-
ger audiences. Larger collections.
There were gifts. Huge sums of
money "for God's work.f' A bonu-
tiful home for herself.
Meanwhile the world would not
let Los Angeies have Mrs. McPher-
son aii to itself.
The sophisticated eastern metro-
politan world begged her to come to
them! London, New York. even be:
old haunts of China begged her to
come back. _
She filled a London engagement
and went to New York twice—first
holding her revival in a remote hail.
the second time down town in a
fashionable sophisticated church.
Each time she returned to Los
Angeles with more funds. '
The Great Day

I The time seemed ripe at_ last.
Aimee made her plea and the house
of God seemed built overnight.
"I'll give the paint!"
“I'll give the lumber!"
“I'll do the’plumbingi" ~
These shouts filled her revival
hail the night she told her flock' of
. her great dream.
