By 1923 she had established herself in the most efficient theological plant in the country. Above the bowl-roofed Temple (seating capacity: 6.000) she raised great radio masts from which her daily sermons are broadcast. She edits a weekly paper, a monthly magazine. She runs a Bible school in which 1,000 students are enrolled. Her Four-Square City Sisters carry on an efficient charity service...
