Heard by More Than Christ, Disciples
The wonders of modern day
communication have been ob-
vious• for years, but when Evan-
gelist Billy Graham stated last
week in one of his Crusade for
Christ programs that at any one
moment he was preaching to
more people than did Christ
and his Disciples in all their
lives, it was no earthly boast,
but an indication of the won-
ders that are making mass com-
munication possible.
No doubt there were a few
million people who saw one of
ford visited on Sunday with Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Town.

Goderich is spending a few days

and Mrs. Lloyd Elliott.

Scott Jr, and family at Blyth.
his nightly services which emits-
ated in the Coliseum in Los
Angeles, With that area seat-
ing over 100, 000, and being
about half filled, there were
50, 000 watching and hearing
him in action right there. What-
ever
hatever the audience Mr. Graham
reached over the radio -TV net-
work, it cost $700,000 for five
nights during the "prime" eve-'
ning hours. But he figured the
expense was worth it in being
able to reach so many people.
One hundred and ninety
years ago John Wesley wrote
that on August 23, 1773, at the
Amphitheatre at Gwenap in
England, he spoke to 30, 000
which in his own words was
"Perhaps the first time a man
of 70 had been heard by
30, 000 at once!"
Great speakers have address-
ed great audiences before and
since, but it is doubtful even
on a calm day Evangelist Gra-
ham could be heard by 30, 000
at one time without the us., ^f
a loud speaker. But it doesAlIF
show the difference science has
made possible between the
small groups first preached to
by Christ and his Disciples, to
the 30, 000 spoken to by John
Wesley, and the millionsBil'ly
Graham spoke to each evening
last week,
The frightening thing of it
all is that Mr, Graham quoted
from the scriptures that in the
last days such mass communi-
cations as he was taking ad-
vantage of would be one of the
igns the end is near. —Rodney

Air Force Cook Expert at Needlepoint
Sergeant Gordon Dawkins is
a new Cook -Instructor atSchool
of Food Services RCAF Clinton.
He arrived at Clinton in June
from RCAF Station Rockcliffe.
Sgt. Dawkins' needle point
and petit point artistic endea-
vours have won four firsts in
four entries at the Central
Canada Exhibition, Ottawa.
His work is so masterful, that
his needle point reproduction of
Warner Sallman's "Head of
PE
Christ" was chosen by the Hon-
ourable Roland Mitchener to
hang in the "Quiet Room" of
the Ottawa Parliament Build-
ings.
Sgt. Dawkins has produced
over 100 pieces since he began
his interesting hobby in Calgary
in 1952. He says there is great
therapeutic value in this type
of work as the concentration
necessary precludes thought on
any other problem but the work
at hand,
Of course Sgt. Dawkins'
main interest in life is planning
and preparing the excellent
meals members of the RCAF en-
joy. His 6 years' wartime, 11
years' peacetime experience in
the culinary arts give him a
wealth of background he can
use in his newest duty; instruct-
ing food services attendants
and student cooks at the Air
Force School of Food Services,
Clinton.
Every cook and food atten-
dant in the Air Force passes
through this unique school, staf-
fed by expert cook -instructors
and dieticians.
Sgt. Dawkins and his wife
Emma live at 123 Wharcliffe
Road, London. They have two
daughters Barbara and Peggy.
Sgt. Dawkins' parents are Mr.
and Mrs. John E. Dawkins of
