BILLY GRAHAM
fila,—Thank you for John Betjernan's magni- ficent ruminations on Billy Graham and the Greater London Crusade. His commonsense and warm insight are inspired and inspiring. If he knew the North as well as the South, be would not be so saddened, by party divisions. In this diocese you can hardly tell who is who, and even in great experiment covering the whole country, such as the Village Evangelists, High, Low and Liberal are working together in evangelism—with the non-Roman Nonconformists too—without sacrifice of principle or their owninterpreta- tions. Thank God, we are far less self- conscious about ourselves and (humbly, let us hope) more confident in the Gospel and the Church. The faith must be preached in different ways to the (half ?) educated and the vulgar, but we are setting about it. It seems to me we are coming to the end of a long Period of critical scholarship and useful digestion, and starting a period of consolida- tion and re-creation.—Yours faithfully,
BASIL HIGGINSON Cockerham Vicarage, Nr. Lancaster
