Why one Christmas Candle,
and not fifteen?
283
00:19:04,643 --> 00:19:06,878
Why doesn't this angel
come once every year?
284
00:19:06,879 --> 00:19:09,314
Or every Thursday
afternoon for tea?

And why in all of God's
green Earth, Gladbury'!

Why Bethlehem?

understand the ways of the Lord'!

Even the slightest hope of a
miracle keeps their faith alive.
293
00:19:28,233 --> 00:19:31,202
Only to be crushed when
their prayers go unanswered.
294
00:19:32,271 --> 00:19:33,605
If this is what your
people need, then I--
295

[LADY CAMDON]
What our people need is hope.

00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:38,035
And you can give it to them.

be true, then most likely it is.

Hello, Charlie.
526

Why don't we start with the
Gospel of John chapter one.

"In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God.

00:34:44,782 --> 00:34:47,518
The same was in
the beginning with God.
530
00:34:47,518 --> 00:34:49,653
All things were made by him;
531
00:34:49,654 --> 00:34:54,125
and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
532
00:34:54,125 --> 00:34:58,762
In him was life; and the
life was the light of men.
533
00:34:58,763 --> 00:35:01,165
And the light
shineth in darkness;
534
00:35:01,165 --> 00:35:04,965
and the darkness
comprehend it not."

00:35:10,975 --> 00:35:14,778
"And the impediment
to his tongue was loosed,
536
00:35:14,779 --> 00:35:17,509
and he spoke plainly."

Now Charlie, we are going
to loose that tongue of yours.

an unspoken request.

Well, go on.
591

what have you to say?
703
00:47:34,785 --> 00:47:37,287
I've already made my wishes
known to the Reverend.
704
00:47:37,287 --> 00:47:39,847
And now I'm taking
a step of faith.
705
00:47:41,058 --> 00:47:42,753
Thank you.
706
00:47:48,398 --> 00:47:50,700
[DAVID] Another prayer that
will never be answered.
707
00:47:50,701 --> 00:47:52,602
Well, I for one am
happy to see that
708
00:47:52,603 --> 00:47:54,271
In spite of all your efforts,
709
00:47:54,271 --> 00:47:58,435
you are still inspiring
hope for a miracle.
710

711
00:48:12,656 --> 00:48:14,157
[DAVID]
Mrs. Hopewell.
712
00:48:14,157 --> 00:48:16,392
A friend of mine may be
coming to Gladbury for a while.
713
00:48:16,393 --> 00:48:18,161
I wondered if she might
stay with you and Herbert.
714
00:48:18,161 --> 00:48:19,595
[ELEANOR] She can stay
as long as she likes.

[DAVID] Thank you!
Her name's Ruth.

will bring her from London.

Oh, please, allow me.
718
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:27,804
[ELEANOR]
This is no job for a reverend.
719
00:48:27,804 --> 00:48:28,771
[DAVID]

Whatever is the matter?
722
00:48:35,245 --> 00:48:36,980
No, I won't do it.
723
00:48:36,980 --> 00:48:40,316
[DOCTOR] Herbert, you're one
good shock away from the grave.
724
00:48:40,317 --> 00:48:41,951

rest in Heaven.

[DOCTOR] Which
may not be that far off.

You've got a weak heart.

729
00:48:48,358 --> 00:48:51,194

or He'll call me home.
730
00:48:51,194 --> 00:48:53,462
[ELEANOR] Of course
he will, but you have to rest.
731

or chopping wood.

Certainly.
739

Our Father in Heaven, please
grant your servant Herbert with
740
00:49:13,050 --> 00:49:14,518
the good sense to follow the
741
00:49:14,518 --> 00:49:18,045

get some rest.

[EMILY] Electricity...
In the church.
746
00:49:32,202 --> 00:49:34,571
For too long the church has
stumbled about in the dark ages,
747
00:49:34,571 --> 00:49:36,806
when it should
be lighting the way.
748
00:49:36,807 --> 00:49:38,308
In fact, I believe that
the church should
749
00:49:38,308 --> 00:49:41,334
be the first place to
embrace the future.
750
00:49:41,712 --> 00:49:44,881
Indeed. Now this I have to see.
751
00:49:44,881 --> 00:49:46,983
[DAVID] Miss Barstow,
does this mean that you'll
752
00:49:46,984 --> 00:49:48,986
finally be coming to church?
753
00:49:48,986 --> 00:49:51,154
[Emily laughs]
754
00:49:51,154 --> 00:49:53,315
Twenty-nine prayers.
755
00:49:53,490 --> 00:49:55,225
And only one can be answered.
756
00:49:55,225 --> 00:50:00,230
You mean thirty, dear.
Thirty candles.
757
00:50:00,230 --> 00:50:01,864
No, I'm certain
there were twenty-nine.
758
00:50:01,865 --> 00:50:03,833
[EDWARD] Bea, there were
thirty candles hanging
759
00:50:03,834 --> 00:50:05,569
the night of the angel's visit.
760
00:50:05,569 --> 00:50:07,935
There're always thirty candles.
761
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,508
Twenty-nine!
762
00:50:11,508 --> 00:50:13,409
Bea, a candle is--
763
00:50:13,410 --> 00:50:16,913
Don't say it Edward,
please don't say it out loud.
764
00:50:16,913 --> 00:50:20,076
We've lost the candle.
765

[hammering and voices]
766
00:50:30,794 --> 00:50:33,863
I'm curious to know the maximum
number you've ever installed.
767
00:50:33,864 --> 00:50:35,263
[ELECTRICIAN]
About twenty.
768
00:50:35,599 --> 00:50:37,294
[DAVID]
Then I want thirty.
769
00:50:37,768 --> 00:50:39,963
No, thirty-five bulbs.
770
00:50:40,604 --> 00:50:42,372
I question the safety of it.
771
00:50:42,372 --> 00:50:44,607
The circuit can only support
so many watts, Reverend.
772
00:50:44,608 --> 00:50:47,477
[DAVID] Then install another
circuit. Install five circuits.
773
00:50:47,477 --> 00:50:49,312
I want the light in
this church to surpass
774
00:50:49,312 --> 00:50:52,481
the brightness of one
thousand candles.
775
00:50:52,482 --> 00:50:54,817
[HERBERT] Reverend Richmond,
could you tell me why
776
00:50:54,818 --> 00:50:57,987
there are men digging
in the church yard,
777
00:50:57,988 --> 00:51:00,582
and fiddling in
our sanctuary walls.
778
00:51:01,825 --> 00:51:04,327
You leave that. My grandfather
carved that altar.
779
00:51:04,327 --> 00:51:09,822
[DAVID] Herbert! I ordered them
here to install electricity.
780
00:51:10,967 --> 00:51:12,134
Electricity?
781
00:51:12,135 --> 00:51:14,270
Electricity is the future.
782
00:51:14,271 --> 00:51:15,672
And a more
practical one at that.
783
00:51:15,672 --> 00:51:16,773
Practical you say'!
784
00:51:16,773 --> 00:51:20,276
How will our treasury
stand this extravagance?
785
00:51:20,277 --> 00:51:22,812
Don't trouble yourself,
Mr. Hopewell.
786
00:51:22,813 --> 00:51:25,111
I've covered the
cost personally.
787
00:51:25,348 --> 00:51:27,016
Consider it my contribution to a
788
00:51:27,017 --> 00:51:29,753
brighter chapter of
Gladbury': history.
789
00:51:29,753 --> 00:51:33,022
I plan to unveil the electricity
at the coming nativity service.
790

[DAVID] Please, think of
this with an open mind.

Think of Herbert. No cumbersome
candles or lanterns to change.
795

see the value in that.

my boundaries,

Think of it, Edward.
1054

Your father gave the candle
to Reverend Pillington.
1055
01:15:32,694 --> 01:15:35,596
And as we know, David is a far
greater wretch than he ever was.
1056
01:15:35,597 --> 01:15:37,932
[BEA] You make a compelling
argument, but I don't--

Don't tell me you've
given the candle away.

isn't it'! Splendid.

Christmas season.

It seems that the angel
has blessed not one,

but two Christmas
Candles this year.
1102
01:19:06,007 --> 01:19:09,276
And now that I think of it,
how small is my faith,
1103
01:19:09,277 --> 01:19:12,013
to think that this angel
might stop at two.
1104
01:19:12,013 --> 01:19:13,947
Why not three or four?

bestow upon Gladbury.

In spite of my best efforts,
1291

I witnessed many miracles
this Advent season.
1292
01:32:32,547 --> 01:32:35,414
None more remarkable than
my own change of heart.
1293

If you will have me, I will be
honored to remain in Gladbury,

about this all along?
1304
01:33:06,781 --> 01:33:09,016
I had an inkling, but I didn't
know for sure until

Thomas was the father.
