SIR,—How charming and right Mr. John Betjeinan is about Billy
Graham ! A few weeks ago some airmen in my RAF Christian Fellowship asked me to organise a Party to go to Harringay. We went by motor coach last Wednesday.
Despite the tiring journey (over 160 miles' travelling in an evening) and the fact that we had great difficulty in reaching our reserved seats because of the throng, we all thought it thoroughly worth while. The meeting was most impressive. There was, however, no straining after effect but a simple and beautiful reliance on prayer, the .,..I4 rlirdY Ghost, and the Word of God.
The spirit of Mr. John Betjeman's article ,..,Prompts me to ask—cannot the Anglican
‘-(bhisuhproeli,, pserietassti at least one Billy Graham ' deacon or layman) for similar rork in the Anglican Church ? As one born the parish of St. James, Hatcham (the scene famous and bitter controversies between flglo-Catholic and Evangelical last century) can think of no better enterprise to unite, revive, and increase our beloved Church.'— Yours faithfully, VICTOR H. BEATON Poughatit Rectory, Bury St. Edmunds VICTOR H. BEATON Poughatit Rectory, Bury St. Edmunds rrhe Spectator has received a large number of letters concerning Mr. Betjeman's article n Billy Graham. These two we printed as being typical of the whole response.—Editor, Spectator.]
