...costs money. Traditional practice in Europe (and lately in some U. S. dioceses) is to set a box of candles by every shrine, let the faithful help themselves and leave a small offering in return.

Prebendary Rich lent ecclesiastical prestige to the International House Party; but more satisfaction derived from the words of Canon Frank Child, vicar of St. Helen's and Rural Dean of Prescot, who wrote last week in the Church of England Newspaper: "Is this movement going to do what the Archbishop's Conference with us perhaps cannot do?
