Heavily Signed — Angelus Temple / Foursquare Gospel — Wartime Los Angeles

Original 1942 yearbook of L.I.F.E. Bible College (Lighthouse of International Foursquare Evangelism), the school Aimee Semple McPherson founded next to Angelus Temple in Echo Park, Los Angeles. Title on the cover: Treasure Chest. Owner/editor connection to Pauline Lindblad.

This copy is packed with period signatures from faculty, visiting ministers, and students during World War II—two years before McPherson’s death and the transition of leadership to her son Rolf.

Notable signatures identified in this copy include:

• Rolf K. McPherson (“Wolf McPherson” in the book) — Aimee’s son; succeeded her as president of the Foursquare Church and of LIFE Bible College

• Dr. Nathaniel M. Van Cleave — longtime LIFE faculty member and later college president

• Rev. Howard P. Courtney and Vaneda Courtney — later general supervisor, missions director, vice president; co-pastors of Angelus Temple

• Rev. C.W. Burpo — nationally known radio evangelist who held a major 1941–42 revival at Angelus Temple

• Rev. Harold Chalfant — Foursquare missionary

• Alfred Thompson Eade & Mrs. Eade — Bible teacher and artist associated with the Panorama Bible Study Course

• Rev. Harold W. Jefferies, Rev. Earle E. Williams, Rev. Charles Gaines, Rev. Clifford L. Musgrove, Rev. Elsie R. Peters, Rev. A.A. Carpenter (Rockford, Illinois), and many others

• Additional student and faculty names throughout, including Bernice Teaford (connected to the Watson B. Teaford / college-dean circle)

This is a primary-source snapshot of LIFE and Angelus Temple at a turning point: wartime enrollment (more women than men), McPherson still living, and the next generation of Foursquare leadership already in place.

Condition is good but there is some edge wear to cover, discoloration, yellowing on inside, binding is ok.
