...invitation to come talk. Mr. Lewis went. In no pie-in-the-sky mood, he voiced a layman's proposition which any theologian worth his salt could turn upside down: "Before men can worship, they must eat." Said Preacher Lewis: "I believe in God and the Christian church. I believe any country devoted solely to materialism lacks something. You can draw your object lesson from Germany. . . .

He instituted Mass, the Reserved Sacrament, the Benediction, bells, candles and incense in his Nonconformist church. When a well-fed parishioner demanded to know why, in Mass, he had been asked to worship "a bit of bread," Dr. Orchard snapped: "Well, sir, we happen...
