" I am convinced that in time to come men
will speak of Frank Buchman even as we today speak of St. Francis of Assisi. There have always been great men inspired by God in history. They have made history. But what Frank Buchman has given us today is the truth that every ordinary person can be inspired by God. That is new in history." Is it ? Has the speaker (the Rector of Zurich University, as reported in Dr. Buchman's movement's news- sheet) ever heard, for example, of George Fox ? Though men do not commonly "speak of him even as we today speak of St. George," he had his merits. Actually I should like to carry this unofficial canonisation a little further, but I find myself faced at the outset with the danger of setting two potential St. Clements quarrelling. Better stick just to St. Anthony JAHus
