CHURCH SERVICES BROADCASTED
1 e MINISTERS USE RADIO. Sydney, April 19. For the first time in Australia, a church service has been broadcasted by wireless. The service at St. Mark’s Church, Darling Point, was successfully transmitted. It was expected that New Zealand listeners-iu would receive it. So far suburban and npnrby country centres report favourable results. —Press Assn. New York, April 17. A unique attempt to bring tho Church to the people will be made to-morrow, when Pastor JJeigwin, of the West End Presbyterian Church, will attempt to broadcast by radio a Communion service, by which people listening-in may partake of the bread and wine symbolic of the body and blood of Christ, blessed by an invisible minister. Slight changes in the service have been made to render the experiment more practicable. Tho congregation has been asked not to partake of the bread and wino until all have been served, whereupon the radio listeners will simultaneously partake. Tho pastor has instructed the listeners to uso wine or grape inice and bread, declaring that the Church intends to use grape juice and unleavened bread.—Press Assn.
