Bishop Doubts Value Of Church Broadcasts
P.A. AUCKLAND, Sept. 5. “I do not think church services over the wireless do any good. I do not think addresses about the church over the radio do any good.

Bishop Cherrington opposed a suggestion that the Church should publicise its faith more through the press. “I dislike blasting what we are doing all over the place,” he declared.
