PRIEST AS PUBLICAN.
LONDON, October 21. “ Beer is a gift from God, like food,” said Father Jellicoe, a cousin of Lord Jellieoe, and a noted slum-worker, 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 p.ubs 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.”
