One concerted blow struck at the head of the monster Vice would cause its death.
Let Chicago’s Christian population strike the fatal blow.
Let us engage in an honest rebellion with patriotism to our children, our country and our God, in our hearts.
Overthrow the Dynasty of Vice! Overthrow the corrupt political system that established and today sustains the Vice Trust!
Voice is without power adequately to describe the inferno that burns about us and daily offers to the god of the pagans as a propitiatory sacrifice the souls of men and women.
The human mind, if it could conceive the real horror of the meaning,—Vice Trust,—would be paralyzed by the revelation.
Chicago needs human redeemers,—God-inspired men and women.
Human persistency, concerted effort, backed by unconquerable wills and hearts that hold God as a perpetual visitant, cannot fail.
We of this generation have a sacred duty.
That duty is the scourging of the Vice combine and the cleansing of Chicago. That duty devolves on the reform leaders and their thousands of Christian followers.
