Very well then, to business! I tell you, candidly, I agree with you, that there is no necessity for sinking anything of our own in the concern: nothing ever comes of that sort of reckless generosity! If people want a church, let them make some sacrifice for it! Why should we do anything? I am sure you will appreciate my candour? (MANSON: At its full value. Go on.) At the same time, there is no reason why we should throw cold water upon the project. On the contrary, we might promote it, encourage it, even lend it the influence of our patronage and our names. But on one understanding! (MANSON: And that?) That it is extended--imperialised, so to speak: that it is made the vehicle of a much vaster, of a much more momentous project behind it!
