1927 ... a year of plenty, prohibition, and Calvin Coolidge was president. Babe Ruth set his famous record of sixty homeruns in one major league season. The first Radio Commission of the United States was created and the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) was established as a radio station. Work on Mount Rushmore began, Pan American Airways was formed, Ford Motor Company stopped manufacturing the Model T, and the first transatlantic phone call was made from New York City to London. Since not everyone had electricity hand-cranked washing machines were selling for $15.95, but for those in cities with electricity washing machines cost $79. Also in the fall of 1927, in New Bedford, Massachusetts, from some small studio in the New Bedford Hotel, a young minister from New York was beginning a radio ministry. Today we are celebrating the 90th anniversary of that historic event.

Over ninety years of continuous broadcasting between two radio stations and only five presenters, with over 4,500 broadcasts to the glory of God and the presentation of His truth. The program continued in spite of the world's greatest financial depressions and the world's greatest war. And never in those ninety years has there been a plea for money to keep the program running. In addition for those who want copies of the program, they are sent free of charge throughout the country along with Bibles when they are requested. All of this is provided by the tithes and offerings of the members of the People's Christian Church, a small but loyal group of people whose families have belonged to the church for generations.
