Super cringy Mormon video from the 1960s. (Beware casual racism and blunt misogyny). It's a good snapshot into how Mormons viewed the world in the 1960s.

This was shown to Mormon kids as an example of how to be at least as late as the 90s, and I'd suspect that it's likely currently used as well.

This is not terribly far off from evangelical views either.

I was shown this in the early 90s for sure. Not sure about now.
