THE KING ' S BUSINESS
fight of faith until the last evolutionist sneaks back to the slimy hole from which he professes to have ·emerged and is lost to our sight forever! We appeal to every patriot, to every business man, to every loyal citizen-old and young-join in the movement to stem the tide of modern– ism which threatens to sweep our country to destruction. It ought to be possible to rally at least 500,000 people to support with their influence and their funds the Christian Fundamentals .Association and thus help to save .America from the Satanic teaching in the schools which seeks to belittle t he Bible in the minds of the students by daily seed-sowing: save it from t he unscrupulous ecclesiasts in the church who prate about their "scholar – ship;" save it from the politicians who would sell their souls for a mess of pottage-public position. - T.
