Billy Graham
Visifs Toccoa
Evangelist Billy Graham told
| President Julian A. Bandy that
he will be accompanied by his
regular team-mates, Associate
Evangelist Dr. Grady Wilson
and Music Director Cliff Bar
rows, in his visit to Toccoa Falls
on September 25.
Thousands have been attend-j
ing the Billy Graham meetings
in Philadelphia Convention Hall |
during the past weeks, with at-|
tendances up to 50,000 in spec-!
ial services recently held in'
Connie Mack Baseball Stadium.
Doctor Bandy stated that somel
of the select Philadelphia ser
mons of Doctor Graham will be!
reproduced on a nationwide |
eight-day television series be-|
ginning September 17. |
Evangelist Graham’s coming |
|to Toccoa Falls will be the ex-;
perience of a lifetime for many
of the thousands who will be|
seeking and hearing him in|
person on September 25. Doc- |
tor Graham was himself a na-|
|tive of our southeast section of |
| the nation, a boy of the soil,|
and a product of a school in|
’Florida founded by a graduate‘
of Toccoa Falls Institute. l
| President Bandy of Toccoa!
' Falls Institute was himself the|

| Billy’s early ministry, and it is |
| therefore with the most cordial |
| personal interest that Toccoa
Falls Institute is sponsoring his|
coming. The magnitude of Doc-i

| the world in his lifetime serves
well to illustrate the global po
tentialities of education which

is dedicated to the teaching of
|the vital truth of the Christian
