CHURCH SERVICES
WIRELESS BROADCASTING. FAVOURED BY ARCHBISHOP JULIUS. (P*' United Press Association.) Christchurch, June 25. “What is the church for if it is not to broadcast the Gospel of Christ? If people are too lazy to come to church surely we would be doing the right thing in taking the church to the people.” Thus spoke Archbishop Julius at the Cathedral yesterday when he extolled the virtues of wireless broadcasting of services. The Archbishop also prophesied that only a short time would pass before services from most churches were put on the air. “The broadcasting of religious services is an innovation,” said the Archbishop, “and the church with its conservative outlook always shrinks from new ideas and .yet why should we not broadcast? At present wireless is still in its infancy, but to-morrow it will be doing great things in the education of the world.”
