Schuler's sideshow

(1987 September 6, Sunday)

When I tuned in [to Rev. Schuler's Church on TV] the choir was singing the first hymn. About 150-200 voices. From then on it was like a sideshow, with each act applauded vigorously. Act 1 - a boy soprano in white. Act 2 - A Fr. Jasu (?) who was captured (tortured) and at last released. This old man (white beard) told all and well applauded. Act 3 - The photographer took this so he could see a girl playing a pipe organ (the tune was The Spinner). A canary in a cage at her left! Act 4 - A song by a tenor. Act 5 - A huckster selling paper cutter made of gold (to pay for TV time) - write in and ask for your initial to be put on. The one shown was S. Act 6 - A girl playing a set of bells. Act 7 - The sermon, about 6 minutes. Know you are loved & be friendly, free, firm and ?? (feathered?). Before the choir ends it all, he speaks of the paper cutter once more, asking a contribution be sent with request if you can. "If you cannot help me, allow me to help you." You really must catch this.
