Oscar's idea was born
out of Christianity...

1:13:10
that if you sacrifice yourself,
you will attain the object of your desires.

1:13:15
Oh, yes. Thank you.
1:13:18
The odds were surely stacked against him.
1:13:20
Had it been a horse rather than a woman's
heart, he would never have bet on it...

1:13:24
not even for a place.
1:13:27
How does your correspondent
enjoy Bellingen Town?

1:13:33
Well enough.
1:13:34
Does he have a church
built yet?

1:13:37
Uh, no, they still hold the service
behind the blacksmith's.

1:13:41
Mr. Hasset
should have a church.

1:13:45
What is your idea?
1:13:49
Well, what would be
his feeling...

1:13:52
if he woke up one morning,
he looked out of his window...

1:13:55
and he saw a church...
1:13:59
made of glass?
1:14:06
Oh.
1:14:14
A church?
1:14:16
- Of glass.
- A glass church.

1:14:18
- Yes!
- It is not practical.

1:14:21
What is the practical
purpose of a church?

1:14:25
If it is only to provide
shelter to Christians...

1:14:27
and my father would take
this view...

1:14:29
then it is better to worship
in rooms behind a blacksmith.

1:14:33
But if the purpose
of a church...

1:14:35
is also
a celebration of God...

1:14:38
then I would say I am the most practical man
you have spoken to all year.

1:14:43
It's like the stairs in the library.
It's what they call a pre...

1:14:47
- Prefabricated.
- Yes. You can pack it in crates
and transport it by cart.

1:14:51
- No, over ship.
- Yes, you can take it across
the Great Dividing Range!

1:14:55
- We are mad to think of it.
- No! No, we are not mad!

1:14:58
We-We-We... No! No!
We... We are not mad.
