questions for you.

Why one Christmas Candle,
and not fifteen?
283
00:19:10,587 --> 00:19:12,820
Why doesn't this angel
come once every year?
284
00:19:12,821 --> 00:19:15,253
Or every Thursday
afternoon for tea?
285
00:19:15,253 --> 00:19:18,152
And why in all of God's
green Earth, Gladbury'!

Why Bethlehem?

Who could possibly hope to
understand the ways of the Lord'!

[LADY CAMDON] People of

Even the slightest hope of a
miracle keeps their faith alive.
293
00:19:34,153 --> 00:19:37,119
Only to be crushed when
their prayers go unanswered.
294
00:19:38,187 --> 00:19:39,519
If this is what your
people need, then I--
295
00:19:39,519 --> 00:19:41,819
[LADY CAMDON]
What our people need is hope.
296
00:19:41,820 --> 00:19:43,945
And you can give it to them.

in common sense.

be true, then most likely it is.

know what a candle is'!

He's the Haddington':
only child,

Hello, Charlie.
526
00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:37,818
Why don't we start with the
Gospel of John chapter one.
527

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

and the Word was God.

00:34:49,758 --> 00:34:52,491
The same was in
the beginning with God.
530
00:34:52,491 --> 00:34:54,624
All things were made by him;
531
00:34:54,625 --> 00:34:59,091
and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
532
00:34:59,091 --> 00:35:03,723
In him was life; and the
life was the light of men.
533
00:35:03,724 --> 00:35:06,124
And the light
shineth in darkness;
534
00:35:06,124 --> 00:35:09,920
and the darkness
comprehend it not."

00:35:15,924 --> 00:35:19,723
"And the impediment
to his tongue was loosed,
536
00:35:19,724 --> 00:35:22,451
and he spoke plainly."

00:35:24,323 --> 00:35:28,914
Now Charlie, we are going
to loose that tongue of yours.

an unspoken request.

Well, go on.

Well go on my dear,
what have you to say?
703
00:47:38,968 --> 00:47:41,467
I've already made my wishes
known to the Reverend.
704
00:47:41,467 --> 00:47:44,025
And now I'm taking
a step of faith.
705
00:47:45,234 --> 00:47:46,928
Thank you.
706
00:47:52,567 --> 00:47:54,866
[DAVID] Another prayer that
will never be answered.
707
00:47:54,867 --> 00:47:56,766
Well, I for one am
happy to see that
708
00:47:56,767 --> 00:47:58,434
In spite of all your efforts,
709
00:47:58,434 --> 00:48:02,593
you are still inspiring
hope for a miracle.
710

711
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,299
[DAVID]
Mrs. Hopewell.
712
00:48:18,299 --> 00:48:20,532
A friend of mine may be
coming to Gladbury for a while.
713
00:48:20,533 --> 00:48:22,299
I wondered if she might
stay with you and Herbert.
714
00:48:22,299 --> 00:48:23,732
[ELEANOR] She can stay
as long as she likes.

[DAVID] Thank you!
Her name's Ruth.
716

My colleague Abner
will bring her from London.
717

Oh, please, allow me.
718
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,932
[ELEANOR]
This is no job for a reverend.
719
00:48:31,932 --> 00:48:32,898
[DAVID]
Nonsense.

Whatever is the matter?
722
00:48:39,365 --> 00:48:41,099
No, I won't do it.
723
00:48:41,099 --> 00:48:44,431
[DOCTOR] Herbert, you're one
good shock away from the grave.
724
00:48:44,432 --> 00:48:46,065
I'll get plenty of
rest in Heaven.

[DOCTOR] Which
may not be that far off.

You've got a weak heart.

729
00:48:52,465 --> 00:48:55,298
God will either cure me,
or He'll call me home.
730
00:48:55,298 --> 00:48:57,564
[ELEANOR] Of course
he will, but you have to rest.
731
00:48:57,565 --> 00:48:59,197

or chopping wood.

Certainly.
739

Our Father in Heaven, please
grant your servant Herbert with
740
00:49:17,132 --> 00:49:18,598
the good sense to follow the
741
00:49:18,598 --> 00:49:22,121

get some rest.
742
00:49:26,798 --> 00:49:28,063

[EMILY] Electricity...
In the church.
746
00:49:36,264 --> 00:49:38,630
For too long the church has
stumbled about in the dark ages,
747
00:49:38,630 --> 00:49:40,863
when it should
be lighting the way.
748
00:49:40,864 --> 00:49:42,364
In fact, I believe that
the church should
749
00:49:42,364 --> 00:49:45,386
be the first place to
embrace the future.
750
00:49:45,764 --> 00:49:48,930
Indeed. Now this I have to see.
751
00:49:48,930 --> 00:49:51,030
[DAVID] Miss Barstow,
does this mean that you'll
752
00:49:51,031 --> 00:49:53,031
finally be coming to church?
753
00:49:53,031 --> 00:49:55,196
[Emily laughs]
754
00:49:55,196 --> 00:49:57,355
Twenty-nine prayers.
755
00:49:57,530 --> 00:49:59,263
And only one can be answered.
756
00:49:59,263 --> 00:50:04,263
You mean thirty, dear.
Thirty candles.
757
00:50:04,263 --> 00:50:05,895
No, I'm certain
there were twenty-nine.
758
00:50:05,896 --> 00:50:07,862
[EDWARD] Bea, there were
thirty candles hanging
759
00:50:07,863 --> 00:50:09,596
the night of the angel's visit.
760
00:50:09,596 --> 00:50:11,960
There're always thirty candles.
761
00:50:14,063 --> 00:50:15,529
Twenty-nine!
762
00:50:15,529 --> 00:50:17,428
Bea, a candle is--
763
00:50:17,429 --> 00:50:20,929
Don't say it Edward,
please don't say it out loud.
764
00:50:20,929 --> 00:50:24,089
We've lost the candle.
765

[hammering and voices]
766
00:50:34,795 --> 00:50:37,861
I'm curious to know the maximum
number you've ever installed.
767
00:50:37,862 --> 00:50:39,260
[ELECTRICIAN]
About twenty.
768
00:50:39,596 --> 00:50:41,289
[DAVID]
Then I want thirty.
769
00:50:41,762 --> 00:50:43,955
No, thirty-five bulbs.
770
00:50:44,595 --> 00:50:46,362
I question the safety of it.
771
00:50:46,362 --> 00:50:48,594
The circuit can only support
so many watts, Reverend.
772
00:50:48,595 --> 00:50:51,461
[DAVID] Then install another
circuit. Install five circuits.
773
00:50:51,461 --> 00:50:53,294
I want the light in
this church to surpass
774
00:50:53,294 --> 00:50:56,460
the brightness of one
thousand candles.
775
00:50:56,461 --> 00:50:58,794
[HERBERT] Reverend Richmond,
could you tell me why
776
00:50:58,795 --> 00:51:01,960
there are men digging
in the church yard,
777
00:51:01,961 --> 00:51:04,553
and fiddling in
our sanctuary walls.
778
00:51:05,795 --> 00:51:08,294
You leave that. My grandfather
carved that altar.
779
00:51:08,294 --> 00:51:13,783
[DAVID] Herbert! I ordered them
here to install electricity.
780
00:51:14,927 --> 00:51:16,093
Electricity?
781
00:51:16,094 --> 00:51:18,227
Electricity is the future.
782
00:51:18,228 --> 00:51:19,627
And a more
practical one at that.
783
00:51:19,627 --> 00:51:20,727
Practical you say'!
784
00:51:20,727 --> 00:51:24,227
How will our treasury
stand this extravagance?
785
00:51:24,228 --> 00:51:26,760
Don't trouble yourself,
Mr. Hopewell.
786
00:51:26,761 --> 00:51:29,057
I've covered the
cost personally.
787
00:51:29,293 --> 00:51:30,960
Consider it my contribution to a
788
00:51:30,961 --> 00:51:33,694
brighter chapter of
Gladbury': history.
789
00:51:33,694 --> 00:51:36,959
I plan to unveil the electricity
at the coming nativity service.
790

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

candles or lanterns to change.
795

see the value in that.

my boundaries,

Your father gave the candle
to Reverend Pillington.

And as we know, David is a far
greater wretch than he ever was.
1056
01:15:38,049 --> 01:15:40,381
[BEA] You make a compelling
argument, but I don't--

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

This is the candle,
isn't it'! Splendid.

Christmas season.

It seems that the angel
has blessed not one,

but two Christmas
Candles this year.
1102
01:19:08,242 --> 01:19:11,508
And now that I think of it,
how small is my faith,
1103
01:19:11,509 --> 01:19:14,242
to think that this angel
might stop at two.
1104
01:19:14,242 --> 01:19:16,174
Why not three or four?

bestow upon Gladbury.

after we've both gone,

In spite of my best efforts,
1291
01:32:30,618 --> 01:32:33,950
I witnessed many miracles
this Advent season.
1292
01:32:33,951 --> 01:32:36,815
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
01:33:08,150 --> 01:33:10,383
I had an inkling, but I didn't
know for sure until
1305
01:33:10,383 --> 01:33:13,315

Thomas was the father.

him after my father.
