Jefferson, Charles Edward. New crusade: occasional sermons and addresses. **$1.50. Crowell.
7–25555.
“A group of sermons whose aim is to aid in reclaiming our Holy Land—America—from the Saracen of the twentieth century—the rum-seller, the gambler, the unprincipled politician, the unscrupulous capitalist and the anarchistic wage-earner. Consecrated personality and Christian unity are the watchwords in bringing about international peace.”
“Their tone is militant and virile; they lift up the standard and eloquently call to arms against the forces at work in the community for moral decay.”
