It is the theory of evolution which has swept the country that is causing the very foundations of liberty, morals and Christianity to totter. . . . We must control the medium which controls the people, whether it be the newspaper, motion picture or what, and we must rebuild in the minds of our children the religion of our fathers. . . .
