Now that Charles is dead, I shall never again see Ronald&#8217;s reaction to a specifically Caroline joke. Far from having more of Ronald, having him &#8220;to myself&#8221; now that Charles is away, I have less of Ronald.<\/p><cite>C.S.

We might even send out popcorn to our upper-level supporters! <ul><li>During our discussion of this, I mentioned two movies I had recently watched, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AZGcmvrTX9M\" target=\"_blank\">Tenet<\/a> and the live-action <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R-eFm--k21c\" target=\"_blank\">Mulan<\/a>.

He was also writing <em style=\"font-size: 1rem\">A Preface to Paradise Lost<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 1rem\">, which was John Milton\u2019s epic poem about the Fall of Man, which no doubt also exerted an influence<\/span>, particularly because the devilish character was seen as something of an attractive character there. <\/li><li>When talking about society of the time, Andrew quoted Chesterton:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting.

And I am not particular about the hoofs and horns. But in other respects my answer is &#8220;Yes, I do.&#8221; I do not claim to know anything about his personal appearance.<\/p><cite>C.S.

Lewis, Divine Justice<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>We know from a letter to Warnie that Lewis got together with Dr. Humphry Havard one night to listen to Hitler on the radio give his speech, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/pha\/policy\/1940\/1940-07-19b.html\">\u201cMy Last Appeal to Great Britain. A great empire will be destroyed\u201d<\/a>. I asked if Lewis listened to it in its original German. Andrew said that Walter Hooper says that:<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cDuring Hitler\u2019s speech from the Reichstag in Berlin at 6 p.m. the BBC gave a running translation so that it was possible to hear both the original utterance and an English rendering.\u201d<\/p><cite>Walter Hooper, C.S.Lewis : A Companion and Guide<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The next day, Lewis went to the noonday service at church. Rev Arthur William Blanchett, the young curate preached. Lewis, rather bored, started to think about Hitler and Satan.

I don\u2019t know if I\u2019m weaker than other people: but it is a positive revelation to me how <strong>while the speech lasts it is impossible not to waver just a little<\/strong>. I should be useless as a schoolmaster or a policeman. <strong>Statements which I know to be untrue all but convince me, at any rate for the moment, if only the man says them unflinchingly<\/strong>. The same weakness is why I am a slow examiner: if a candidate with a bold, mature handwriting attributed Paradise Lost to Wordsworth, I shd. feel a tendency to go and look it up for fear he might be right after all.\u201d<\/p><cite>Letter to Warnie (July 20-21, 1940)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He went on to describe the idea he had for letters from a demon:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The idea would be to give all the psychology of temptation from the other point of view e.g.&nbsp; \u201cAbout undermining his faith in prayer, I don\u2019t think you need have any difficulty with his intellect, provided you never say the wrong thing at the wrong moment. After all, the Enemy will either answer his prayers or not. If he does not, then that\u2019s simple &#8211; it shows prayers are no good. If He does &#8211; I\u2019ve always found that, oddly enough, this can be just as easily utilised. It needs only a word from you to make him believe that the very fact of feeling more patient after he\u2019s prayed for patience will be taken as proof that prayer is a kind of self-hypnosis. Or if it is answered by some external event, then since that even will have causes which you can point to, he can be persuaded that it would have happened anyway. You see the idea? Prayer can always be discredited either because it works or because it doesn\u2019t\u201d<\/p><cite>Letter to Warnie (July 20-21, 1940)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What Lewis writes here will appear in the final book in Letter 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Screwtape Impact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The letters appeared in <em>The Guardian <\/em>Anglican newspaper (May 2nd through November 28th in 1941).  This is not the same as the British newspaper available today in England. Lewis was paid 2 GBP per letter. As usual, Lewis gave the money away to widows and orphans, but then got stung with a massive tax bill! This prompted him to setup the <em>Agaponary<\/em>, <em>The Agape Fund<\/em> through his friend, Owen Barfield, whereby he gave away two-thirds of all his earnings.<\/li><li>The Published the letters as a book in England in February, 1942 and appeared in the USA several months later.<ul><li>The initial printing of 2,000 copies sold out immediately.&nbsp;It was reprinted eight more times that year.&nbsp;<\/li><li>It made his name, particularly in the USA, getting him on the cover of Time Magazine (September, 1947) with the subtitle <em>\u201cOxford\u2019s C. S. Lewis His heresy: Christianity\u201d<\/em>. It described him as \u201c<em>The most popular lecturer in the University\u201d<\/em>, saying <em>\u201cWith erudition, good humor and skill, Lewis is writing about religion for a generation of religion-hungry readers brought up on a diet of \u2018scientific\u2019 jargon and Freudian clich\u00e9s. &#8230; [He] is one of a growing band of heretics among modern intellectuals: an intellectual who believes in God.\u201d<\/em><\/li><li>It brought about a landslide of letters which he answered.
