Dr. Henry: What has heartened you most?
Dr. Graham: During the past year, the tremendous response which we had in California was unprecedented in all our travels over the world.
Dr. Henry: Numerically? Is that what you mean?
Dr. Graham: Yes, in a way. Everywhere we went the crowds came. The people came forward, as if they had been waiting. This is to God's glory.
Dr. Lamont: What is the largest numerical response you have seen in America?
Dr. Graham: At our San Antonio rally in July, some 3,000 came forward. That was the largest number to come forward at an American meeting.
Dr. Ockenga: What does that signalize?
Dr. Graham: That signalized to me that television has given us a penetration that radio has never accomplished.
Dr. Henry: What are you hoping for next?
Dr. Graham: I'm giving some thought to taking less time in a crusade and going to some cities for just a week, so that we can get to more cities now, while this great harvest seems to be ready. Invitations for such meetings seem almost unlimited but the decision to accept must be of the Holy Spirit. For this I request your earnest prayers.
