Part of Papers of Terrot Reavely Glover
Manuscript letter, in which Glover thanks Carlile for his letter. Glover apologises for having let Carlile in for such a deluge of letters, but perhaps it suggests that the article was timely, if not overdue. For it has been taken for granted that Christ is so easy to interpret, so apt to emphasise the obvious. Asks whether Carlile ever wrote or preached on 'The Easy Christ and the Difficult Christ'? Glover wants to ask F.C. Byan for an article on the lines of the sermon he preached on 16th December on the subject of 'balance' in the teaching of Christ, the antitheses and clear vision of both aspects of what He teaches. Going back to the Pacifist article, Glover is pleased to find it approved by Rushbrook and Orwin Smith, who does not automatically approve of Glover. He has been shocked by the outburst elsewhere. Lagton Richards fell far short of what Glover expected from him; he would like to hear Ernest Brown speak on the matter. The fact is that Glover grows increasingly weary of the carking of the Baptist Union Council members and their new but not necessarily Christian orthodoxies. Now he must go and listen to L.H. Marshall. They are not any closer to getting a minister. The majority want Rendall for a second time; some want Schofield of Rugby; some, including Glover, would like a man with more experience.
