Many Protestant clergymen looked askance nt the Madison Avenue ballyhoo that preceded his appearances. They deplored what they called the "circus atmosphere" of his meetings.

They questioned the validity of his conversions. They charged that his "narrow fundamentalist preaching" would drive educated people away from Christianity. Behind all of these specific criticisms was a suspicion well grounded in the history of earlier ERECT TENTS Pastor E. C.

His current Washington crusade, for example, is being sponsored by the National Capital Council of Churches, an official inter-denominational agency representing more than 80 per cent of the Protestant churches in the Washington area. Several things have contributed to the new attitude. Gets Fixed Salary Graham has made clear that his only ambition is to start a genuine spiritual revival within the existing churches. He has bent over backwards to avoid the formation of "Billy Graham churches." The finances of his crusades have been handled impeccably. He gets a fixed annual salary of $15,000.

paid entirely by his own evangelistic association. Every penny collected at crusade services goes to local committees to pay local expenses. lie has proved himself willing to listen to constructive criticism. He has quietly abandoned the high pressure publicity methods that were used to build up interest in his eariler crusades. He doesn't even have a public relations staff for his current Washington meetings.

Churches Also Change He has disarmed the charge by conducting his meetings, even the huge outdoor rallies, in a decorous and reverent manner. People who attend a Graham crusade to' "see the show" are startled to find themselves participating in rather sedate worship service. Perhaps the most important change has occurred, not in Graham, but in the churches which once looked askance at him. The past decade has witnessed a notable return to Biblical theology in America's major Protestant bodies. Many churchmen who formerly deprecated Graham's lack of theological Sophistication are now wondering whether there may not be merit, after all, in a simple exposition of the basic teachings of the Bible.

Few Critics Left You can still find churchmen who question Graham's methods and motives. But they are getting sca'cer all the time.

The vast majority of Protestant clergy today respect Graham as a sincere ally who is making a valuable, if specialized, contribution to the common cause. His acceptance by established churches, including such old-line bodies as the Lutherans and Episcopalians, is attested by their willingness to join in sponsoring spiritual values and to renew eou- secrealion of church members. "With God's help and our own labors, this year's convention will fulfill this purpose," declared president A. Gordon. Union VBS Holds Closing Program UNION (Special!

I picked on my husband until he lost his temper and spoke harshly to me in front of my children. Then I threat ened him with a divorce.

I told several friends we were having trouble. Then I commit ted the unpardonable sin of going to his mother and sister and filled them in from A to Z. After that four-hour visit I became so ill I couldn't do my house work My husband called the doctor. The- doctor said I was in very bad condition and ordered complete bed rest and medication. A month has passed and I feel like a new person.

I'm so ashamed I can't look my friends or relatives in the face. My husband has been an angel never once has he thrown up the past to me. This letter is not a request for advice. It's only a warning to wives who may be nervous and run down to keep their mouths shut and go to a doctor How ugly and disloyal I must look in the eyes of others. The fact that I was sick doesn't excuse me the damage is done.

Ashamed Dear Ashamed: You didn't ask for advice but I'd like to offer a few words from Omar Khayam. "Nor all your pity nor wit can lure it back to cancel half a line nor all your tears wash out a word of it." In plainer language: What's in the past is finished now forget it. Don't waste another ounce of energy punishing yourself. Concentrate instead on rebuilding your marriage. Dear Ann Landers: Our four- ear-old daughter has started something and I don't know how to cope with her.

She's been getting up in the middle of the night and crawling into bed with her father. We have a large lied but she never conies to my side, she always goes to him. I've told my husband this habit is not a good one. He says Veronica clams it's too cold in her room (or too warm). Or she says she hears funny noises, or our bed is softer.

The" child has an amazing variety of excuses. Veronica is aware that my husband and I disagee on this. She seems to be enjoying the tiouble she's stirred up. Should 1 say nothing and let her keep this up as long as she likes? Or should this practice be stopped? Other Half.
