In tho "Declaration of Faith' slijnfd by all members upon en- uring.

It stipulated thut it any member disagrees about the conduct of the temple or Us policies he or shall suffer automatic dismissal. Yet they sign, cheerfully. The Implicit devotion of Almce's flock was clearly demonstrated during Sister's recent reported "dangerous breakdown" and "near blindness." Thousands prayed dally for her recovery as they eagerly awaited bulletins from her bedside. The fact that Ma Kennedy, from her own sick bed where she rested with a badly damaged nose, declared Almee had merely undergone a face-lifting opreatlon, didn't shake their confidence In the least. Nor did they believe It when Ma charged that her damaged nose had been broken by Almee's fist during a fight at Angelus temple.

They chose to accept Almee's explanation that Ma, In a. fit of anger, had fallen on her nose and broken let It go at that. When Sister Is nt the temple the crowds ftro larger, the collections fat and there are many conversions. Healing meetings are conducted by assistant pastors, so great is the demand. Almee speaks two or three times a week at the night meetings, addresses various classes lamost dally and fills the pulpit on Sunday.

Her Sunday sermons are spectacles, frequently Illustrated with scenery and living characters. are given in which bobbed-haired angels with tinseled paper wings play a proml- Aimee's Flock Not Rich But Members Are Devout nent part. There in muqta lots of it and many kinds, A large band plays before the services and an orchestra alternates. Stirring hymns are sung, there are mlramba bands, cornet solos, saxophone selections and other Instruments. For Almee's view is that it is not wrong to play any instrument in church, If said Instrument is dedicated to God's worship.

The fervor of Sister's ecstatic JBEFOBE AFTER ON THE FACE OF THINGS it is hard to tell If Mother Kennedy's recent face-lifting operation restored much of her youthful appearance. Ma's reported to have been broken by Almee's fist version) nnd by a fall to the floor (Almee's version) is shown in the foreground of the picture on the right, after the bandages had been removed. religious doctrines as propounded from her pulpit with all the fire and enthusiasm of a political speaker, Is evidenced by men and women converted in an excited, raptured state. Prostrations under the stress of her emotional stimulus are not Infrequent; she plays at will on the emotions of her audience. All the while she Is making vivid gestures to hammer home her meaning.

Sister gets positively lyrical at times, especially when she is describing her conversion to the Four Square Gospel that she preaches. For example, this: "As the wonder, the power, the majesty of it cascaded o'er the battlements of glory, filling, flood- Ing, enveloping my very being, the fingers of the Spirit swept the aeollan harp strings of my heart and evoked a grand and wondrous melody like the sound of a great amen." She shouts, she whispers, she exhorts, she pleads, she even sings. In tho middle of a sermon she may suddenly cry: "Sing! Everybody sing! You up there in tho top gallery, sing!" They do sing, loud and lustily. Almee's Jesus Is a personal one, a snd-eyed man, dusty with the grime of Galilee's unpavcd ronds, footsore, weary and humble. She portrays Him not as an image, but as a friend.

So she humanizes other Biblical characters. Here is an excerpt from one of her sermons about woman who wns raised from the dead by Peter at, Joppa and became a friend of the which illustrates the naive but fetching McPherson manner: "Methlnks I see a red-headed freckle faced, pug nosed, bare footed little boy coming limping up the road, calling 'Dorcas, Dorcas, where are 'What Is it, Dorcas replies. 'Oh, Dorcas, I Just smashed my toe something awful down the road. It's bleeding and I know I am going to lose my toenall. Couldn't you fix It for me, "'Oh, you poor little dear; come right into the kitchen this Dorcas would say to that little boy." Thus Almee makes the characters of the Bible talk in the language her hearers know.

Swayed by the magic of her personality, Sister's followers cling to her with nn intense devotion that is astigmatic, if not entirely blind. Their faith began when Aimee. In her early days here, "cured" the sick and the lame with the healing powers of faith at street corner meetings; it endured when Almee was "kidnaped" several years ago and "miraculously" restored to them in a desert shack; It was still firm the other day when Ma Kennedy charged that Sister had slammed her in the nose. There have been so many conflicting stories about this latter episode that the only thing that is clear is the did happen to Ma's nose, something terrible. All the rest Is still in dispute.

It all hooks up with the Internal of politics as played within the Inner circles of the temple. When Ma was ousted from the temple control after her row with Aimee over the fired bandmaster, she went to Seattle where she soon figured in a breach of promise suit with an aged minister. When this suit was dismissed, Ma and Sister appeared to have made up and Ma came back to Los Angeles, welcomed at the station by a delegation from Angelus Temple with a brass band, many flowers and Sister. But she was not the same Ma who had been reduced to a minority on the board before her departure. During her absence, the Echo Park Evangelistic Association had met and eliminated her from the three trustees entirely.

Besides, Mrs. McPherson and' Mrs Schaffer, Mrs. Harriet Jordan now composed the directors. Ma, the old commander, was a mere orderly. This didn't set well with Mother Kennedy, who had run things during the lean years and wanted to run them again in the fat.

Such became evident when Almee's recent "breakdown" was reported and Ma denounced It as a fraud. Under questioning, Ma amplified things a bit. Aimee had had a face lift, said Mother Kennedy. So had Mother Kennedy. Aimee was Jealous of Ma's youthful appearance and therefore had straightened out a right hook on Mother's revamped nose and mashed it all out of shape.

This choice explanation aroused Almee. From her hospital bed, she said Mother was not truthful; that Ma had simply been weak from her face lifting operation and had fallen to the floor, smacking the proboscis lustily. "Aimee is being led wrongly by those women at the temple," Ma shot right back. She hinted, delicately, that Almee's face lifting process was planned to be another "miracle," when Aimee appeared before the congregation as a newer and younger Sister. "You see," Ma explained, "Sister believes that everyone is an instrument of the Lord that may be used if His purposes are to be accomplished.

According to her philosophy, a plastic surgeon, by making her move beautiful, would be helping along the Lord's work with a modern miracle of science."

The truck was laden with choice apples, handpicked from the Calhoun orchards, and were being taken to the St.
