Billy Graham vs New York Apathy and Rally Ties
New York scenes show mixed reaction to Billy Graham as he nears a final week of his New York crusade at Madison Square Garden. While 17,000 attend nightly services and New Jersey visitors join, many New Yorkers remain indifferent in subways and streets. The church faces Catholic Church opposition and debates over continuing the tour, with plans reportedly for Rochester, California, and perhaps Russia. Graham emphasizes the need to come to Jesus amid fatigue and growing conversions, though estimates vary.
