We are in competition
with the entertainment business.

:53:03
- I'm not.
- Then you ought to be. Huh?

:53:07
How about your bingo games?
:53:09
And how about your baseball games
and square dances?

:53:12
Now, ain't that entertainment?
What's the difference?

:53:15
It's up to us to make a success out of
Christianity, keep the churches full.

:53:19
What has religion
to do with filling churches?

:53:22
Once there were only
13 Christians in the entire worid.

:53:26
Was Christianity a failure?
Did God go out of business?

:53:29
Kee-rect! Christianity is a going concern,
a successful international enterprise.

:53:35
If you boys don't get
young people back into church,

:53:38

Harvard!
:54:10
Well, look around you, boys. Young folks
crying out they're the lost generation.

:54:15
Godless anarchists on every street
corner, and he walks out on a crisis.

:54:20
Do you realise that practically
every president of the United States

:54:25
was a Mason and a Protestant?
:54:27
And every session of Congress
opens with a word

:54:29
from the King James version of the Bible.
:54:32
And right now, in our enlightened age,
a Catholic is running for president.

:54:37
- Mr Babbitt...
- And...

:54:38
Mr Babbitt!
:54:41
Don't say another word.
:54:48
George, I agree with you.
:54:51
Please, John.
If revivalism can do the job...

:54:54
Paul.
:54:55
Zenith had a revival 40 years ago.
It saved everybody in sight for miles,
