WIRELESS IN CHURCH.
OUTCRY AGAINST BROADCASTING. (rsoa oub o-wk coßaisrojtDEirr.) SYDNEY,' October £3. The outcry raised in' England and in Scotland against the practice of broadcasting Divine services is being reechoed in iSydney, on the ground that it diminishes greatly attendance at the Sunday evening service's, and that it provides men'and also women with'another argument why they don't go to church. St. Mark's, Harling Point, one of Sydney's most fasmonablc churches iu one of its.most aristocratic quarters, has been broadcasting its services for some time now, along with a few other churches of less circumstance, in a worldly sense. Now there is an outcry about the practice, but the protest has revealed that wireless in church has its protagonists as well as opponents. - The Rev. N. H. Baker, M.A., a prominent Anglican minister, says the Church can no more escape the influence of wireless than can the rest of tho community. A little thought, he says, would show that 'the falling off at church would not be a sufficient reason to make it oppose the new venture.
