30,000 At Crusade
(N.Z Press Assoctation) AUCKLAND, Feb 28. About 30,000 people, most of them under 25, tonight attended the second meeting of the American evangelist, Dr Billy Graham, who is holding a four-day crusade in Auckland. The attendance, slightly higher than on Thursday, was larger than expected on late shopping night. The programme, specially planned for young people, included a brief speech by the Olympic captain, D. Oliver. About 1500 people moved on to the field after Dr Graham had appealed for people to “receive Christ.” Many were young.
