wealthy, and the founder of one
OF the most beautiful memorials
to mother ever erected.
That i'll brief is the story of T..
Howard Cadle, builder of the Ca
die tabernacle at indianapolis,
Ind, just completed. 1t cost APP
proximately %375,OOO. A similar
one is i'll process of erection i'll
Louisville, ky.-all to the mem
ory of d mother whose prayers,
plus personal hustle and effort,
have regenerated, made over and
made prosperous man who five
ycarse ago was about down and
out.
Cables story is that of man
who not only "came back" but
of a man, who thankful for what
the dice of fate had won for him,
has given to indianapolis one of
the finest tabernacles ever built
III lic country.
A bronze tablet which adorns
the entrance of the new Indianap-
oils tabernacle cpitOmiZeS Mr. Ca
dies turn in life. The tablet
reads:
"Cadle Tabernacle-erec to
f.. Howard Cadle in honor Of his
mother, whose prayers saved him
from Il drunkard s and gam
bler's grave.
Five years ago Cadle, his wife
and children were living in pow
erty III Orleans, Ind. He was
porter III saloon in that little
town. Today he has Il iX-figure
income, Il fine home, servants,
luxurious town car, Il walnut-fin-
ished, downtown Office, the re-
spect of the city and State, and,
what he counts for most, love
God in his heart.
Cadie, who was born at Salem,
Ind, 81 years ago, has told lndi-
annapolis and Louisville audiences
of his craze for gambling and
drink. There seemed to have been
nothing OH which he would not
u Jace II wager. He went from bad
To worse until one day the doctor
told him he had but Il few months
to live.
DeSpondent, he tarried to hear
Glpsy 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 Christian life. 1t
was not an easy task to regener-
ate himself and make good for
his family'S sake. 1t was not an
inspiration to be forced to WELD
mop OH janitor force at the
Indiana State capitol, but Cadlc
welded it until he graduated
from that lowly job.
Finally he got IL job as an au-
tOm0bile salesman and i'm his zeal
to make good he sold car day
for II year. With the results of
his efforts he paid off his debts
and invested 1900 in a shoe re-
pair business. Later on, as the
company developed, he disagreed
with the other members of the
1lrm and 1t was ease of get out
himself or buy them out. lie went
to James Il. Goodrich, former gov
ernor of Indiana, under whose add
ministration i'll the State house he
was wielder of the mop, and
told him of his business affairs.
He asked for $4,000 and Mr..
Goodrich, impressed with the
story, wrote out check for that
amount. Cadle became president
OF the company and Mr.. Goodrich
became vice president. Today
Cadle's firm has string of 16
shoe repair stores III nine cities of
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
There is Il large framed picture
OF the olive skinned English evan
gelist hanging OH the wall of Ca
dies business office and to that
picture every day Cadlc lifts eyes
OF gladness as he bows before the
memory of the man who helped
him. In Louisville, year ago,
Cadle bought lot and erected a
permanent tabernacle III which to
carry OH the evangelistic work be-
gun by Gypsy Smith. A bronze
tablet bears the same inscription
that is placed OH the indianapolis
: tabernacle.
