Medford Tribune Paaes 1-6 MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1960 Section B Graham Credits Missionaries For Reception Foil nd in Africa Editor'! note: Evanrelict Ttillv Graham U resting in Southern Rhodesia at the halfway mark of the African "crusade" that has taken him through eight major West African cities and numerous villages. He has addressed crowds of unprecedented size for that part of the world and visited govern ment leaders. Ahead of him are campaigns in five countries of Central and East Africa. At this point he was asked to record some impressions for United Press International. By BILLY GRAHAM Written for UPI Victoria Falls, Southern Rhodesia -(CPD- All I have read about Africa over the years failed to prepare me adequately for what I have seen and heard and felt dur ing the past five weeks. I have seen the wonder and grandeur of nature. I have flown over great rain forests, towering mountains and broad rivers. I have shouted with exhilaration at the sight of great herds of elephants, water buffaloes, zebras and giraffes. I have stood in awe at the splendor of Victoria Falls "which are unequalled any where in the world. I have floated down the Zambesi ri ver with hippopotami in full view, and skimmed ten feet over its surface in an airplane as crocodiles basked in the sun. No Hostility I have seen baboons in trees, and fed wild monkeys who grabbed food out of my hands. Once I came within an inch of being dunked in the Zambesi as Africans were carrying me in a rig like the one in which the great mis sionary explorer David Liv ingstone travelled.- But my most fascinating experiences of this trip to Af rica have been the many en counters with people of many tribes and tongues. I have met them in modern office buildings which rival any thing in New York, and 1 have talked with them in primitive market places and villages where the mode of dress (and undress) and cook ing pots are just like those found by the earliest explorers. Anyone who says West Af rican is hostile to Americans doesn't know what he is talk ing about. I did not see a hostile glance or gesture. Never have the members of my team re ceived such cordial, warm hospitality. Most Africans seem not to associate the United States with colonial ism and imperialism. Credits Missionary Work My most outstanding im pression of my West African tour was the tremendous con tribution Christian mission aries made to its develop ment. I'm convinced that schools, hospitals and churches brought by mission aries have saved this part of the world from a possible bloodbath. Everywhere I found peo ple hungry for the Gospel. I 'have had the privilege of preaching to some of the larg est crowds of my ministry. The people were quiet, dig nified and reverent. There was no more emotional dis play than we have seen in America or England. Our appeal for people to accept Christ was totally dif ferent. . In most places we did not ask them to come forward, but rather invited them to stay behind if they wanted to break with their sins and old gods, and trust Christ for the first time. I urged them not to respond unless they were willing to break with the past, join a church and live a totally new life. They were urged not to re spond if they had ever made a Christian commitment be fore. Yet hundreds came, and faithful helpers talked with them in little groups that dot ted great race-courses and sta diums for hours after our meetings closed. I believe they were as sin cere as I have even seen.
