This is one of the ten illustrated
sermons Rev. Bruce Thum and the Sunshine Evangelistic Party
of Indianapolis, Indiana, will bring to the Cathedral of Tomorrow
during the months of July and August.
Rev. Bruce Thum, known by radio
and television in the Indianapolis area and heralded across
the nation as an evangelist, is a full-blooded, Cherokee Indian
entitled "Big Chief Charging Bear." Ruth Thum, his wife, works
hand in hand with him, arranging music and making costumes
as well as directing and singing with the group.

The business and secretarial side
of the ministry is handled by Charles and Violetta Verness,
a dedicated brother and sister team. Together, with the Thums,
they provide the varied musical program and take care of all
the behind-the-scenes coordination.
Every member of this versatile group
plays several musical instru-ments in addition to their ministry
in song. Some of these are: the piano, organ, guitar, trumpet,
saxophone, marimba, bells, accordion, trombone and violin.
Occasionally Bruce or Ruth will play two instruments at the
same time -an almost impossible feat. It must be seen to be
believed. The Sunshine Party is almost a traveling band, orchestra,
and choral group in themselves. Pictured you see them in their
Indian and western dress.
Now for a capsule review of some
of the sermons you find listed on page ten of this magazine:
"How Beautiful Heaven Must Be" features Ruth Thum in word
and song. It is a moving presentation that shows Christ walking
along a lonely road calling to those who will answer, take
up their cross and follow Him. The full third dimension scenery
pictures heaven in breath-taking color. Hundreds have found
Christ through this graphic sermon. The Sunshine Party has
spared no expense nor labor in producing, "I Go a Fishin'
", featuring Chief Bruce Thum. Sound and lighting effects
make this a Christ-honoring message the whole family will
want to see and hear.
THE RULE OF THUM
--
TO GOD BE THE GLORY

"Christ is Coming," will be presented
so realistically that every person who has an unsaved loved
one urged to drive from near and far to bring them to a decision
for eternity!
Years have been spent in the preparation
and perfecting of the dynamic sermon, "Calvary's Blackout.
Thousands of dollars worth of costly props, electronic equipment,
and hours of rehearsal bring to the public a living realism
Ruth, Charles,
Pammy, Bruce, Violetta
of the greatest tragedy and triumph
of all time-the crucifixion of Christ. This sermon has been
compared by thousands to the greatest of passion plays.
"Operation Resurrection" is a continuation
and climax of "Calvary's Blackout." Electronic remote equiptment
will be used to produce clouds from which Christ will majestically
rise as He returns to His Father. This seven-scene inspirational
sermon has the touch of a religious classic.
