This is another cartoon created by the fundamentalist Earnest James Pace. The professor is depicted as stealing the faith of the students – by steering the boat of “popular education” towards the rock of “infidelity” as he orders the student to toss the Bible overboard.
When the above picture was shown in churches they accompanied it with the following statement: “It is not slander to say that popular education today has at is particular dogma the god-denying theory of evolution. There is no use for the Bible. It is thrown overboard and the boat is sailing straight to the rock of infidelity. Many young people come home from colleges and universities honeycombed with deadly doctrines that destroy the soul. And the home is responsible; the home must consider; the home cannot ignore the fact that God holds it accountable for these terrible conditions.”1
