WONDERFUL MEDIUM: POOR SUBSTITUTE
Glancing at the question from another angle, tho Rev. F. De Lisle, in the course of an address at the annual assembly of the Congregational Church of New" Zealand at Christchurch, said his observations did not lead him to such a conclusion ns had been arrived at by the president of the Methodist Conference, who expressed concern regarding the possible effects of radio on the future of the church. The Rev. Mr De Lisle said: “ I believe that the church should be ready to use every possible avenue of scientific development for the proclamation ( of the great evangel. The radio is a wonderful medium to this end, and has conferred blessing upon thousands of invalids and elderly people who are unable to attend a place of worship. Hut when all this has been said the radio is a poor substitute for worship in the church, with all its holy associations. Hadio is dispersive in its influence, and this element is fatal to spiritual progress. Corporate worship can never ho superseded. We must have the church.”
