The Big Sleep

Midway in his four-week, $270,000 stint for network TV (TIME, June 17), Evangelist Billy Graham delivered himself of some inner thoughts on the medium last week before a Manhattan Crusade congregation (nontelevised) of 16,500:

"Many persons are being lulled to sleep --spiritual sleep--by entertainment today --TV. movies, and so on. Many are oblivious to God's grace and lack of Christian discipline. We need more discipline in our lives; we need to think. Everything is predigested for us. It takes real self-discipline to turn off TV and pick up the Bible."
