TOUGH CLERGY CALL
SERVICE IN GERMANY INTERNED BRITONS (Reed. Nov. 20, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 18. “The man’s age does not matter, providing he is tough,” said the Bishop of Fulham, the Rt. Rev. B. S. Batty, in outlining a scheme to ask a number of English clergy to volunteer for internment in Germany throughout the war in order to minister to the spiritual needs of British war prisoners and other English men and women interned.
The bishop, whose diocese includes north and central Europe, has just returned from Holland, whejre he prepared the groundwork of the scheme, which admittedly means tremendous sacrifice.
