That Fundamentalism will again be championed at the University was assured last night with the announcement that the Reverend John Roach Straton, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church of New York City, and nationally prominent as a staunch opponent of the theory of evolution, has definitely accepted the invitation of the Phillips Brooks House Association to lecture here on Thursday, October...
...unwary sinners to their souls' salvation. On Sundays, the atheist must have a radio of high selectivity to keep hymns and homilies from intruding on the more secular programs which he, in his darkness, prefers to hear.

The sermon which has packed churches miles from Broadway, reaches its climax in a rhapsodic disruption of the modern dance. The climax, as delivered in Louisville, northern capital of territory which Fundamentalism holds in almost unbroken sway, follows verbatim...
