...Britain only a single herd of cows seemed to take any joy in the week's weather. They were watered with an emergency ration delivered in old whisky barrels from a local distillery...
...would be a joy if Mr. Philbrick would become responsible enough to keep at his own work. He would be the first to claim that religion is what the Western Nations have that the Communist countries do not have. But when he interferes with the work of religious forces by attempting to impose his own impetuous misrepresentation, he is merely undermining the freedoms he claims to preserve.

He consults a number of authorities, only to come away emptyhearted until at last he meets a holy man who teaches him that to pray without ceasing is to pray the Prayer of Jesus. "The continuous interior Prayer of Jesus," the holy...
