A unique recording of Christian/Gospel music by the Moody Bible Institute released on their own label as a 5-record, 78 RPM set.  
The Institute was established by Dwight L Moody in 1886, and began radio broadcasts in 1926 as the first non-commercial Christian radio station in America, WMBI (AM) (now WXES).  The Moody Broadcasting Network now owns and operates 36 commercial-free stations and provides programming via satellite to more than 700 outlets.  
The collection includes selections that were broadcast on WMBI Radio out of Chicago.

Performances include:
"Holy, Holy is What the Angels Sing," "I'd Rather Have Jesus," and "The Christ of Every Road" - George Beverly Shea"Great is Thy Faithfulness" and "Hallelujah for the Cross" - Moody Bible Institute Choir
"I Haven't Words to Tell" and "Joyously I Walk With Jesus" - WMBI Radio Ensemble
"The Ninety and Nine" and "Singing of His Love" - WMBI Radio Ensemble
"Master, The Tempest is Raging" - WMBI Men's Voices in Song
"Rock of Ages" - WMBI Girls' Glee Club
"Take My Hand, Precious Lord" - Helen McAlerny

The records are Excellent with slight evidence of use or wear.  The Album is Very Good + with edge and face wear but very solid otherwise.  See photos.

My grading is as follows:
Near Mint - No signs of wear or play and good gloss
Excellent - A few light scratches and some wear that shows it has been played but with some gloss
Fine - More scratches and may include some slight damage (small chips or label tears) with normal wear from play Good - Significant visible wear with no gloss and may have chips and scratches
Additionally, I will highlight photos of any damage for your visual inspection and can provide audio samples if requested. If you desire insurance for shipping, please contact me before the end of the bidding.
