This is Billy Graham’ s message from "S ou ls in Conflict ”
Does God
A famous British statesman said some time ago that our prob lems have gotten quite beyond us. A London journalist wrote a book entitled, Does God M a t t e r ? The question I want to ask you this mo ment is, “ Does God matter in your life?” Does God matter in our inter national affairs which have gotten out of control? Does God matter in our social life? Does God matter in our economic problems? Does God matter in your personal life? The Bible teaches that there was a time when man knew God and fellowshipped with God, and walked with God and loved God—when God walked with him in the cool of the day in the garden of Eden. But the Bible teaches that man lost contact with God. Today the entire human race has lost contact with almighty God. How did we lose contact with almighty God? The Bible tells us that sin came between man and God. Well, you say, “What is sin?” Sin is when we break moral law. It is a moral and spiritual disease. All of us are infected with it. We have broken the Ten Commandments. We have sinned against God, and the Bible says, “ All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” You’re a sinner, I’m a sinner. We’ve broken God’s law.

Bob Dell, created by Robert Long, is a childhood companion of Ann Woodbridge, during the girl’s stormy days in the village of Shenston. His professed love for Ann is rebuffed on the grounds that Ann has seen nothing of life so far and she desires a release from the confinement which her years in the vicarage have meant. Ruth Stock, Tom’s attractive young wife played by Hilda Fenemore, is aware of the need for a happy home. Constant differences and petty arguments, coupled with Tom’s total absorption in his football results, deplete her strength and enthusiasm. Her daughter Eileen’s visit to Harringay Arena during the Billy Graham Crusade, is a welcome if strange intrusion into the domestic scene. Eileen Stock, refreshingly played by Daphne Abbott, is one of London’s thousands of young secretarial workers. Colleen Evans plays her own role. With her husband, Louis Evans, Jr., currently doing gradu ate vyork in the School of Theology at the University of Edin burgh, “ Coke” joined the Billy Graham team as a counsellor during the London Crusade.
