...reads [TIME, Sept. 27] that the Canon of Winchester wrote in the British weekly Time & Tide, "Our Lord . . . specifically ordered us to pray for and to heal the sick. But about the weather He had nothing to say. He simply accepted it." I do hope that before his face becomes too red the Reverend Canon reads Matthew 8:24-27* and reconsiders his statement that Our Lord "had nothing to say" about the weather...
...After the Archbishop of York urged prayers for good weather to help crops, the Rev. Roger Lloyd, Canon of Winchester, wrote in the British weekly Time & Tide: "The Christian is bound to believe that all natural law is given by God in creation, and is intended to be a necessary part of the environment . . .

Songo, now 25, developed his creative ability in the eight years that he has been at Cyrene, the church school for 320 Negro boys. A government school inspector brought him from his farming village to grizzled Canon Edward Paterson, an artist-priest who founded Cyrene in 1940. He was a half-starved boy in grey rags, and so helpless that he had to be wheeled to classes in an old baby carriage. But Sam, who showed surprising aptitude for drawing, soon told the canon: "I can carve." Paterson wisely refrained from giving the crippled young Negro any formal art training...
