Topics include the 1928 presidential campaign, the evolution controversy, Norris’s charges of Communist sympathies on noted American churchmen, and his standing controversy with the agencies of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Baptist General Convention of Texas. Significant correspondents include; E. P. Alldredge, B. H. Hillard, Louie D. Newton, L. R. Scarborough, G. Beauchamp Vick, T. T. Shields, C. P. Stealey, and Victor I. Masters.
