ABSTRACT
Billy Graham (b. 1918) has achieved world-wide prominence as a revivalist since the late 1940s and has become the unofficial Primate who presides on national religious occasions in the United States. After conversion experiences he was ordained a Baptist minister in his native South. Early in his career he was associated with the Moody Bible Institute and began to make adept use of the mass media. He achieved national fame at the Los Angeles revival of 1949 from which this sermon is taken, a revival representing a conscious return to old-time religion but with its precepts applied to the perceived evils of modern urban society.
