“GIFT FROM GOD”
. PRIEST AS A PUBLICAN LONDON, Oct. 21. “Beer is a gift from God, like food,” said Father Jellicoc, a cousin of Lord Jellicoe, and a noted slumworker, who has taken over control of a public-house in Somers Town, a working-class suburb of London. “The .poorest,” he added, “are commonly supposed to possess an insatiable craving for alcohol, but this exists more among the richest. The poor go into pubs because of a craving for companionship. In pubs now they must drink or depart. In my pub, I shall strive to create the atmosphere of a family of God.”
