() 'We are becoming a 'godless' society with religious principles being questioned and reverence for God being removed from our public schools and universities. People are being brought into bondage through oppressive taxation and dependence on government.' () Freedom is fast disappearing and being replaced by socialism. Our country is not as it was when founded by brave and valiant men. 'Perhaps the most frightening problem in society is the loss of faith in government. We have only to look at the downfall of great nations to see the spiral downward when immoralty is rampant.' () The greatest problem in our country is not poverty nor international strive, but immorality. The most serious weakness is 'immorality' (sex without marriage), which stands as the number one threat to destroy us. This has led to a weakening of standards. 'Alcohol is numbing the minds of our nation's population so that it is impossible for them to be directed by conscience, or to think clearly through problems or discern correct principles.

'The ideal leader assumes the position as head of the family as a sacred responsibility. A family is a small organization and thus must also follow this pattern.' () This consists of delegating duties to each member, making each accountable for his assignments. Every group of beings must be organized to avoid chaos.

(Legend of King Arthur) In the United States, hundreds of thousands of boys and girls joined Arthurian youth groups, such as the Knights of King Arthur, in which Arthur and his legends were promoted as wholesome exemplars.' Lancelot is again mentioned later in the book as an example of purity. In the 1930s, the Order of the Fellowship of the Knights of the Round Table was formed in Britain to promote Christian ideals and Arthurian notions of medieval chivalry. Arthur has also been used as a model for modern-day behavior. This aspect of Arthur in the Nine Worthies was popularized firstly through literature and was thereafter adopted as a frequent subject by painters and sculptors. His life was thus proposed as a valuable subject for study by those aspiring to chivalric status. 'During the Middle Ages, Arthur was made a member of the Nine Worthies, a group of heroes encapsulating all the ideal qualities of chivalry.
