...Grimmest of grim Fundamentalists, he orates against Evolution, denounces the Roman Catholic Church, flays the "liquor crowd," excoriates birth control and divorce, thunders against bridge, cigarets, the cinema. The fact that in 1926 he shot and killed one D. E. Chipps, friend of Fort Worth's mayor whom Pastor Norris was then denouncing, did not bother the Baptists of First Church.

Once a minister in the Dutch Reformed Church from which he was ousted for heresy. Pastor Sheffer publicly flayed the churches for their machine-like governments, their excessive "talk about God."
