i THE AGE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1959 WITH A MISSION LETTERS to the First-Class The Law and: EDITOR The Language MELBOURNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1959 TODAY'S ISSUE, 26 PAGES. HANDSOME, SINCERE BILLY GRAHAM IS LAUGHING AND L.iosea oireeis SIR, NO REASON- NE'S first impression of Dr. Billy Graham is that -A 0 he is a nice, young man young in spite of his 40 years, young in mind and body, unmarked by time. The youthful stride of his long muscular body, the darkish-blond wavy hair without a touch of grey, the big white teeth that dazzle in his frequent smile, show how easily he has carried the burden of his 10 years' crusade. Other men, carrying his ceaseless responsibility, working his long hours, using up his vast stores energy, would have, wilted by now, would have sagged and greyed and aged.

What is his secret MAN light blue eyes, and talks to you In sentences so charged with belief that.for the moment, sceptic though you may be, you are almost persuaded. He says of himself that he speaks directly to the human heart "that void, that aching, that empty place. "There is questing; there is a hunger; there is a longing for something else in life, and you haven't found It yet and you want it," he Yet he speaks without any crude appeal to mass emotion. Emotional evangelism he abhors. He said yesterday that because of it the very word "evangelism" had been brought into such disrepute that at the beginning of his crusade he hesitated to use it.

His manner is one of quiet vehemence, but with no histrionics. His appeal is to the mind, eVen if only to the gullible surface of It. His very simplicity puts the critical faculties to sleep. He impresses partly because he has a ready answer for anything. One i feels that no problem In heaven or earth could fluster him.

This is not because of great Intellectual powers, nor does he claim It is. It is because his world is so simple that It could be understood by a child. "And a little child shall lead them.

HOPE FOR TROUBLED CYPRUS announcement that the Greek and Turkish Foreign Ministers have reached an agreement which.

It Is hoped, will bring peace to Cyprus will be received with relief throughout the Western world. Among the peoples ol the Commonwealth particularly there will be a sense of satisfaction that a solution has been through negotiation, to a situation which resulted In so muoh bloodshed and engendered such bitter feelings. It has taken more than three years saddened by murders, executions and savage cruelty to bring the feuding groups together to resolve their differences reasonably. It is tragic to reflect that on this small Mediterranean island more than 800 people have died violently since' the emergency began in November, 1955. The unyielding Intransigence of both Greeks and frustrated all attempts to bring about a settlement that would enable all Cyprlots to live in peace and Each new plan for the island's government put forward by Britain, however equitable and reasonable it appeared to the outside world, was rejected, and the campaign of terror conducted by the Greek Cyprlot Eoka increased in cruelty and ruthlessness.

In this hate-charged atmosphere the possibility of achieving a settlement seemed remote, but the British Government persevered. The partnership plan, introduced 1-st year, in which Britain sought the co-operation of the Greek and Turkish Governments, at first appeared to have little prospect of accomplishing very much, but it has proved to be the first step towards bringing Greek and Turk together. The Greek and Turkish groups in Cyprus have looked to the Govprnments of their mother countries to speak for them and to uphold their interests, and an agreement reached by the two Governments should be assured of a popular support that might have been denied a settlement reached by other means. If, as is hoped, the agreement proves to be the foundation for the peaceful- progress of Cyprus towards self-government and the establishment of a republic, it will be another success for the policy which Britain has pursued patiently and consistently since World War II in the countries under her rule. In India and Pakistan, in an increasing number of former African colonies and in the West Indies progress towards self-government was encouraged and the goal of self-determination is set now before all peoples still under Britain's colonial rule.

Britain's role in Cyprus in recent years has not been that of an oppressive overlord, but of a1 guardian of the peace trying in the face of opposition to hold the scales fairly between Greek and Turkish Cyprlots. The British naval, air and land -bases on the Island are accepted by the agreement drawn up by the Greek and Turkish Foreign Ministers. A heavy responsibility now rests on the popular leaders of the Greek and Turkish national groups in Cyprus. Archbishop Makarlos particularly has an opportunity to exert his vast and' possibly decisive influence with the Greek Cyprlot community in the cause of peace and order. His support for a form of government that would represent the Cyprlot people as a whole would contribute greatly to its stability and success.

Cyprus, if ft should begin a new phase of its history as a republic, would be a very small newcomer to the comity of nations and would certainly need help in establishing Itself in prosperity. This Island people, if they take now the path of peace and progress, would deserve the sympathy of other nations in their advance towards a brighter future. gut Of the music bowl enriches city TfTITH the official opening last night of the tt Sidney Myer Music Bowl in the King's Domain, Melbourne received a splendid gift which enriches the city and does honor to the memory of a generous and public-spirited citizen. The music Bowl is for the enjoyment of all the city's people and In the years ahead will make a continuing contribution to its cultural life. Possession of such a Bowl confers on Melbourne a new distinction among the' world's cities.

The Bowl has won the admiration of musicians who have put its qualities to the test, and has been accorded, at the outset of its career, a high place among the world's best. This is a happy augury for its future, for it may be expected to attract artists from all Australia and other countries to perform there and enjoy the experience. In Its beautiful setting it is certain to be an attraction to visitors to the city and to establish a reputation among people who appreciate the value of a great music Bowl, as, for instance, the Hollywood Bowl has done. For Melbourne the construction of the Bowl marks a welcome return and it must be hoped a new point of departure to building for. purposes other than the strictly utilitarian.

In the. drive for more houses, factories and office blocks building for aesthetic purposes has, perforce, been left for the future. The purposeful approach to the building of the Bowl, and the success achieved, should turn attention to other buildings planned to serve the things of the mind, such as the National Gallery and the Cultural Centre. If the Bowl should be the inspiration of a new, determined attempt to make realities of such dreams, the Sidney Myer Charitable Trust would deserve even greater gratitude than is its due for the gift of the Bowl. ing.

He Is, for one thing, fantastically handsome, Hollywood His gestures are graceful, his whole presence attractive; Then there Is his laughter. Though he believes in -the coming doom of the human race, he Is no grim prophet of It. He laughs often and well, frequently at his own Jokes. His wit. though is quick and sharp.

It Is so much part of him that it gives a sunny air to his whole personality. WILLIAM FRANKLIN GRAHAM Was born 40 years ago on the North Carolina farm of his prosperous, Blble-lovihg father. At 20, he was soundly converted by a travelling evangelist named Mor--decai F. Ham. "I knew for the first time the sweetness and the Joy of God.

of truly being born again," he said. He has remained ever since the typical Southern fundamentalist in his attitude to the Bible. All of It Is equally inspired, he says; every word of It is the word of God, At college he studied anthropology. He admitted yesterday, however, that, in spite of his studies, he managed to avoid accepting the doctrine of evolution. -He accepts the story of the rocks and the fossils as far as the rest of erea-.

tlon goes, but, as for man, "Well, he was born of Adam, just like It says in the Bible." At first he -was a Presbyterian, but later was immersed as a Baptist and was ordained a minister of that church. It was not until 1949 that he leaped Into evangelistic stardom through his conversion of "Blgi Jlm'V Vaus, a wire tapper, in league with Day Fifth Test YITH the return M.C.G. Test match, to start today, the 23rd Anglo-Australian series In Australia in S2 years, will end in only the eighth occasion on which Melbourne has been the scene of a fifth Test with England. Twice a Melbourne fifth Test has enabled a side that has reached thai match with four Test defeats before to break Its "duck" In the final game. But if Mr.

P. R. Brown, manager of the latest England side, gives a thought to the fifth Test eight years ago he may recall the fine bowling contribution made by the captain of the 1960-51 team, F. R. Brown, towards England's eight-wickets victory on the M.C.G.

Having decided that belief tn God leads to salvation, there are no further worries or Everything can be left to the- Lord whom he serves. Nor does he need to worry about the mess humanity has got itself into. At his press conference yesterday, he made It clear that the hydrogen bomb, bacterial warfare, the cold war and the rest, though fad evidences of sin, were nothing to be disturbed about.

Asked whether the prospect of the world's population doubling by the end of the century was not cause for fear, he replied that he doubted if humanity could survive for so, long. "But It does not matter," he said with characteristic quick vehemence. "None of that matters. "How can It matter when we know that Christ will come to Judge us, and that those of Us who believe will enter Into His kingdom This manner of thinking makes everything supremely simple for him. No worldly calamity can trouble him, nothing matters at all except that the world should be saved from the one great sin, the unforgivable sin of disbelief.

He expresses this doctrine with genuine fire. Nobody who has heard Billy Graham talk for' five minutes can doubt his utter sincerity. It is sincerity that makes him such a persuasive evangelist.
