Fire-Eating Sermon Preached By Graham Minor Union Scrap Threatens Crusade NEW YORK (UP) — BiUy Graham preached a fire - eating sermon Wednesday night but for a time it appeared it might be extinguished by a pitcher of ice water even before it got started.* The sermon before a Madison Square Garden capacity crowd of 18,500 was delivered on Schedule, however, after settlement of a minor but involved squabble between Graham’s aides and the Stagehands’ Union over placement of a water pitcher on the speaker’s lectern. Roger HuU, chairman of the New York Crusade executive committee, said the Graham team yielded to demands of Local 1 of the Stagehands’ Union because “we felt it best not to do anything that would interfere with the success of the crusade.” He said the crusade agreed to employ two stagehands, at about 115 apiece each night, to stand by "Hid place a pitcher of ice water and glasses on the speaker’s lectern. But Willis G. Haymaker, in charge of special arrangements for several Graham crusades both here and abroad, said the men would be on duty “to perform any duties .their jobs might caU so such as shifting chairs, moving pianos, and so forth.” Graham spoke on "the wickedest man who ever ,ived — Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah.” The sermon fairly crackled with pungent jabs at “hypocrites and modern {delators who worship TV, radio, novels and other entertainment. He said that Manasseh, “Who came to the throne at the age of 12 and reigned over Judah 52 years was guilty of idolatry, covetousness, adultery, murder, the maiming and slaying of babies every other sin in the Bible. “But God fqrgave Manasseh, the man who seemed to have an unholy talent fojr wickedness and betrayal, this fnan who worshipped the sun and the moon and the stars. He will forgive you, too, all of you sitting here in Madison Square Garden in the misery of your sin,” Graham said. An estimated 587 persons made “decisions for Christ” following the sermon, bringing the total of Graham - influenced "decisions” to 5,064 in eight nights. Mrs. Oscar Geisel, rural route 2, is showing improvement after undergoing surgery Saturday at the Lutheran hospital in Fort Wayne.
