America is shaking and tottering on its foundation. The words patriotism, loyalty, honesty, work, truth and sacrifice have been all but removed from our vocabulary. Terms such as “a man's word is his bond,” “an honest day's work for an honest day's pay,” “honesty is the best policy” are not any longer part and principle of our philosophy. The “old way” must go-
There is a planned program of destruction abroad in our land and throughout the world. This planned program is designed to destroy existing standards of morality, religion and politics. Anarchy is the end-
The philosophy of Liberalism is to shake and destroy the foundation of any and all systems; to overthrow the existing order of things. Liberalism assumes that whatever is, is wrong and must be changed or destroyed. Liberalism refuses to recognize a standard of authority. It will not approve those principles which have been tested by time and experience. The Liberal has inherited a nation built on the principles of godliness; washed in the tears and blood of its children. Liberalism seeks to make a junkyard out of the richest culture and grandest civilization ever known to man. What do they offer in its place?

His political policy is to take from man his spirit of initiative and aggressiveness and reduce him to serfdom in a welfare state directed by governmental bureaucracy and sociological controls. The Liberal seeks to organize man into faceless society where he loses all individual identity and purpose.
The Liberal has especially been active in the religious affairs of our nation. His influences affect the religious aspects of our world long before they are noticed in the social and political areas. With the turn of the twentieth century, the tide of Liberalism had begun to lap at the fundamentals of truth. In this century Protestantism has ceased to protest error, complacency has replaced consecration and religious morons now stand where Bible scholars once stood. The Liberal regards the Bible as a book of myths and folly which is the leftover product of man’s emergence from his evolutionary development. The ideas of Barth, Tillich, Brunner, and Bultman are advanced over the inspired revelations of Peter, Paul, Jude and others who spoke the wisdom of God. The “man of the cloth" is recoqnized by his participation in "sit-
There is yet to be found the America of our fathers in our godliness. They even are in the majority. The Liberal is of a minority-
