<p>Rader was one of the most powerful evangelistic preachers of the early 20th Century. He described himself as an &#8220;ex-bellboy, ex-cowboy, ex-prospector, ex-football player, and ex-pugilist.&#8221; He pastored Moody Church in Chicago, Illinois (1915-1921), and followed founder <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_s_i_simpson_ab.html" >Albert Simpson</a> as president of the Christian and Missionary Alliance (1920-1923). Rader founded the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle in 1922 and pastored
it for 11 years. He wrote many Gospel song lyrics and a few tunes, and was instrumental in the founding of the Tabernacle Publishing Company.</p>
<p>Rader was also one of the pioneers of Christian broadcasting. In the early 1920&#8217;s, the beginning days of radio, station WBBM in Chicago, Illinois, closed every Sunday. Rader received permission to use the studios, and for several years, he ran a 14-hour Christian program every Sunday. Rader called his station-within-a-station WJBT (&#8220;Where Jesus Blesses Thousands&#8221;).
