Fr. Weatherbee retires from the sacramental world to spend his time playing
with toy trains, while more informed searchers like Father Smith are up in
the firetower looking for signs (with his azimuth -- Arabic for "the way").
See my Walker Percy's Sacramental Landscapes (Susquehanna UP, 2000)
for a new way of looking at Fr. Weatherbee (137-42).
