A few precautions such as not leaving the house
wide open when no one is there or not leaving
doors wide open during meal times and late at

draw large crowds if someone were to speak on
the virtues ef the American people, or praise th
goodness of our Congressmen, but Graham said
none of these things. He did la fast quite the
opposite, for as an evangelist he preach the all
fashioned, fundamental and Biblical principle
of human depravity as taught by" Calvin.
"Of late, men have come to believe that religion
has ho place in the affairs of s&te, he declared,
"We have certain leaders who are materialists:
they do not recognize God nor care for him; they

in this category. Another form of obtaining an

text of visiting the "little girls room," where, of
course, notes have been conveniently left. And
then, of course, there are those highly intelligent
persons who use their brain power to devise bt
genious means of cheating rather than spending
the same amount of time doing a little studying.

we wake up to reality and face the facts. We, the
college students of today, are soon going to be the
citizens of tomorrow. If we continue to cheat in
school, we will continue to cheat in our carters,
be they in business or government. The same acts
which are so shocking to us now w3 go on when

at least one man who knows how to do it That heeded these words as evidenced by the fact that
when Graham called for a week day to be set
aside for confession of sin, humiliation, repentance,
and turning to God, the next day a motion was
introduced in the House of Representatives calling
for a day, other than a Sunday to be set aside
for just such a purpose.
Although Graham is not and does not pretend
to be perfect, since he places ihimself in tha all
inclusive category of those who are sinners, he
has outlined a five point program, which he prom
ises will bring peace and the blessing of God
to this nation and world if adopted.
1. We must maintain strong military power
for defense at any cost. .
2. We mast continue to expose crime and
Irregularities in government, wherever they may
be found, and enact strong ligislatiea to deal
with them.
3. We must maintain our economic stability
for security.
4. We mast continue confidence in eaeh ether
race with race, creed with creed, color with
color remembering that wo are all Americans
and that America is i nattou that has made every
man king.
5. We mast have a moral aad spiritaal regen

This may be only "one man's opinion," but he
speaks from a source which has proved true for
move, and staged his Sunday afternoon meeting
of Feb. 3 on the steps of the Capitol.
Despite 4t degree temperature, wind and rain,
an estimated 40,041 Washingtonians gathered to
hear his answer to the national dilemma, and
more than 5&t persona made their way to the
front when Graham issued his invitation to make
a "decision for Christ" When Graham left Wash
ington, he had preached to audiences totaling
500,100 people, or about one third the population
of the entire city. The recorded conversions
numbered C.244.
