Measure Of Crusade Success For Billy Graham In New York
A United Press overview weighs Graham’s New York crusade by metrics of attendance and decisions. Since May 15 at Madison Square Garden, nightly crowds average about 17 800 with many turned away. Decisions for Christ average around 80 to 1000 nightly, and total audience may exceed 1 million as the run extends to July 21. Critics from Protestant circles fault methods and social emphasis, while Graham defends recovery through personal grace and Gospel truth. He notes plural church attendance and cites John Wesley on grace, law, and judgment.
