CHURCH SERVICES APPRECIATED.
To:The Editor, "The Listener." Sir,-Just a line to express my appreciation of the sacred session put on by 1ZM every Sunday morning at 10 am. It is a tonic after having to listen most of the week to mental degenerates bleating about a girl in the Police Gazette, or their "Broken ’Arts," etc. To an "Old Timer" like myself, camped in a hut in a desolate and unlovely part of New Zealand, the sound of the bells and the boys’ voices in the choirs bring back memories of the village churches in England long ago. I am hoping to hear 1ZM put on one Sunday morning that fine record by Ernest Gough and the Temple Choir, Mendelssohn’s "Hear My Prayer,’ and "O for the Wings of a Dove," What a pity the New Zealand churches cannot give us something better than tinny dinner bells and screeching, grating women’s voices. I suppose the population is not large enough yet. Yours, etc.,
SCROOGE
