How does your correspondent
enjoy Bellingen Town?

:05:06
Well enough.
:05:07
Does he have a church
built yet?

:05:10
Uh, no, they still hold the service
behind the blacksmith's.

:05:14
Mr. Hasset
should have a church.

:05:18
What is your idea?
:05:22
Well, what would be
his feeling...

:05:25
if he woke up one morning,
he looked out of his window...

:05:28
and he saw a church...
:05:32
made of glass?
:05:39
Oh.
:05:47
A church?
:05:49
- Of glass.
- A glass church.

:05:51
- Yes!
- It is not practical.

:05:54
What is the practical
purpose of a church?

:05:58
If it is only to provide
shelter to Christians...

:06:00
and my father would take
this view...

:06:02
then it is better to worship
in rooms behind a blacksmith.

:06:06
But if the purpose
of a church...

:06:08
is also
a celebration of God...

:06:11
then I would say I am the most practical man
you have spoken to all year.

:06:16
It's like the stairs in the library.
It's what they call a pre...

:06:20
- Prefabricated.
- Yes. You can pack it in crates
and transport it by cart.

:06:24
- No, over ship.
- Yes, you can take it across
the Great Dividing Range!

:06:28
- We are mad to think of it.
- No! No, we are not mad!

:06:31
We-We-We... No! No!
We... We are not mad.

:06:36
Can you imagine
Mr. Hasset's face?

:06:40
- You will deliver it to him.
- I?

:06:44
- Yes, but surely you would...
- No, I cannot leave the works.

:06:47
- But you wouldn't...
- No, it's quite impossible.

:06:49
They're only just recovering
from my last absence.

:06:53
Then I shall...
:06:55
on your behalf.
