I MOTHER S PRAYER WIN3. Changed Life Brings Success to E. Howard Cadle. Yes ted ay a 30-year-old drunkMk/f and gambler, "broke," given TTnt six months to live. Today the prosperous owner 01 a cnain oi 10 shot* repair shops scattered over the country, with the prospect of extension to 300 in a short time, wealthy, and the founder of one of the most beautiful memorials to a mother ever erected. That iu brief is the story of 10. Howard Cadle, builder of the faille tabernacle at Indianapolis, Ind., just completed. It cost approximately $1175.000. A similar one is iu process of erection in Louisville, Kv.?all to the memory of a mother whose prayers, plus personal hustle and effort, have regenerated, made over and made prosperous a man who five yearsc ago was about down and out. faille's story is that of a man who not only "came back," but of a man, who thankful for what the dice of fate had won for him, ln/s given to Indianapolis one of *1.*.. * : . i ? i i ;ii ilit" imt'M laueruacics ever mini in the country. A bronze tablet wbieh adorns the entrance of the new Indianapolis tabernacle epitomizes Mr. faille's turn in life. The tablet reads: "Cadle Tabernacle?erected to K. Howard Cadle in honor of bis mother, whose prayers saved him from a drunkard's and a gambler's grave." Five years ago Cadle. bis wife and children were living in poverty in Orleans, liul. lie was a porter in a saloon in that little town. Today he has a six-figure income, a fine home, servants, a luxurious town car, a walnut-finished, down-town oftiee, the respect of the city and State, and, what b?* counts for most, a love Clod in bis heart.

'1 here seemed to have been nothing on which lie would not * ^ ^ice a wager, lie went from bad to Worse until one day the doctor told him lie had hut a few months to live. Despondent, he tarried to hear Gips> Smith preach. That night, he went home to his prayerful mother and on his knees promised her that he would live from that day forward a Christian life. It was not an easy task to regenerate himself and make good for his family's sake. It was not an inspiration to be forced to wield u mop on a janitor force at the Indiana State capilol, hut Cadle wielded it until he graduated from that lowly, job. Finally he got a job as an automobile salesman and in his zeal to make good he sold a car a day for a year. With the results of his efforts he paid off his debts and invested .$300 in a shoe repair business. Later on, as the company developed, he disagreed with the other members of the firm and it. was a ease of get out himself or buy them out. lie went to James 1*. Goodrich, former governor of Indiana, umler whose administration in the State house he was a wielder of the mop, ami told him of his business affairs. He asked for $25,000 and Mr. Goodrich, impressed with the story, wrote out a cheek for that amount, Cadle became president of the eompanv and Mr. Goodrich became vice president. Today Cadle's firm has a string of 16 shoe repair stores in nine cities of , Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. 1 There is a large framed picture of the olive skinned English evangelist hanging on the wall of Cadle's business oilier and to that picture every day Cadle lifts eyes of gladness as he bows before the memory of the man who helped him. in Louisville, a year ago. Cadle bought a lot and erected a permanent tabernacle in which to carry oil the evangelistic work begun by Gipsy Smith. A bronze tablet bears the same inscription _that is placed on the Indianapolis ^ - tabernacle. It is surprising to road that in some sections of the North the recent failures of bucketshops have caused a feeling of '"uneasiness" and that many people who had money in the banks were frightened into withdrawing it. The weeding out of these bucketshops is the best thing that could happen for the country, except th? defeat of the Republiean party. They have been absorbing ; thousands of dollars that should have been invested in legitimate enterprises. - ^ __ / -V K,.
