million A Night Hear Billy Graham


Written Ashevs Citizen and the Associated prs
Detroit Free Press)
GLASGOW, Scotland-We have been asked by many
people: How does this all-Scoand crusade differ from
others that have conducted? Perhaps comparisons
unwse but in many respects this crusade different from
any have ever led.
To begin with, it has had a broader and more uni
versal sponsorship than any evangesc mission have
conducted The National Church is of course the
Church of Scotland
Officially all of the hundreds of churches in the Ma
tiona Church behind the meetings. but that is not
all There other denominations all members Of
the Tell Scotland Movement" who also in the spon
soring body
This gives US for the first time in our experience vr
tualIy 100 per backing from all the Protestant
churches of a country.
Perhaps the amazing story this crusade the
relay system. Every night audtoriums theatres and
churches have direct lines Kelvin Hall where the
and message comes to them through a loudspeaker.
On nights total audience has thus exceeded
a million persons.
This cannot be attributed to publicity, showmanship
other of the psychological that the critics
like to point to- IL something deeper is God
in great nation in unprecedented way.
The interest has been so supendous that in several
instances il has actually caused problem.
The problem is what to do with empty seats but
what to do with the people who have seats.
Kelvin Hall has been packed every service with
ly $1,000 people, On nights especially during the
last week. have had to preach in the street thousands
of people that stood quietly sometimes in the rain
You can get into Kelvin Hall by ticket only Tickets
at premium throughout the city Everywhere min
ter goes he is begged for tickets. am told that few
interruptions people seng tickets for as high S.
Our number of recorded decisions has surpassed any
crusade thus far appears that the total figure Of
those taking stand for Christ in Kelvin Hall alone i.
10000.
The total number of decisions here in Scotland will
far surpass the $4,000 had London year ago where
the meetings were twice az long.
Another unusual aspect of this campaign has been
the tremendous by the press radio and teev.on
We had the privilege of having the Good FRIDAY service

that 20 million people Jaw or heard the service.

With spears and plumes ancestors engaged
In long crusades to wrest the Holy Land
From infdels; the battles then were waged
On small stage, and fighting was by hand.
A greater cause presents itself today
All lands are holy, the crusade worldwide,
All peoples involved and need to pray
And fearless, live as brothers side by side
The weapons of our warfare should expunge
The carnal weapons fashioned to destroy
The bombs, the guided missiles that would plunge
Mankind in night without star of JOY.
The weapons of warfare should reveal
The funess of Gods blessing here and now,
Should animate and dedicate and heal
And trace the seal of Christ upon each brow
The sum of our crusades is not seven,
One vast engagement scheduled to His plan,
To show earth the presence of His heaven,
The universal Goodness of man.
There is no time to lose; in this crusade
Each must enlist and all must play a part.
Victory rests upon the unafraid,
The tender brave, the wise, the pure in heart
