that racial integration should be
handled on the local level.
Today the convention was sched-
uled to re-elect Dr. Casper C.
Warren of Charlotte, N. C. to a
second term as president of the
Southern Baptist Convention.
Graham said the race question
eould best be handled on the local
level. But he said it would “take
courage. prayer, humility, love,
and above all patience" to solve
the problem.
•Great Religious Awakening*
He said the Christian church
waa In the midst “of the greatest
religious awakening in history.”
He added, however, the growth of
the world’s population was run-
ning ahead of the growth of the
church.
Graham said, “this may be the
ehurch’s finest hour. . .since it is
easier to win men to Christ now
than at any time since Christ.”
Graham backed up Warren, who
said that no discussion of the race
problem should be brought up at
the week-long meeting here.
He also advised against accept-
ing as church members persons
who have had no "personal en-
counter with God.”
Should Avoid Long Sermons
Graham told pastors at the con-
vention that they should avoid long
sermons that "are too general,and
complicated for the man in the
pew to understand.”
Meantime, the Rev. Louis G.
