...leave their evil ways and be saved. He preached his first real revival at the Baptist Church of East Palatka, Fla. in June 1939. Halfway through the week-long series, word spread that Preacher Graham, nominally a Presbyterian, had never been immersed. One look at the shocked and sour faces before him and Billy was inspired to announce that he would be baptized at the revival's end along with his own new converts. No less than Si converts were baptized. Says Billy: "That was the first little inkling I had that maybe the Lord could...
Bogner, at 43, finds his home smashed (two babies died in a rat-infested cellar), his will to work gone sour. He leaves his wife and remaining children because there is literally no room for him in their miserable one-room apartment.

...clergy. Most widely heard explanation: Sheil may have been urged by his superiors to be more restrained, instead chose to resign from the C.Y.O., which was the biggest of his many jobs. Editorialized the liberal Catholic magazine Commonweal: "The announcement is bound to cause a great deal of sour speculation and suspicion. [We hope] that the proper authorities will soon quiet the suspicions of those who think Bishop Sheil may have paid the price McCarthyism demands of all who venture to speak out against...
