Good Friday attendance drops to about forty percent as religion's grip weakens in the United States. The piece traces the rise of radio and television evangelists like Billy Sunday and Aimee Semple McPherson, their influence, scandals, and the shifting faith landscape through mid-century.

The author questions whether these preachers become money changers while contrasting declining traditional churches with growing independent ministries. The piece hints at Part Three.
