RELIGION ON THE AIR.
Sir-I notice some talk as _ to whether religion "carries" over the air. Some say it doesn’t. But I’ve lived in the backblocks a great part of the last few years where the clergy cannot at present send officers and where one cannot get to church. In these circumstances wireless daily devotions have been the
greatest help to me. They have lifted me out of myself and out of the rut of farm kitchen work. Also my husband who is a Scots agnostic (a very hard sort of agnostic), has often been seen by me quietly listening in, particularly when the service is adorned with the hymns of long ago. All men seem ‘to have a half-ashamed love of the hymns they were raised on. And lots of farmhouses combine 10 am. tea with devotions-unintentional as far as the farmer goes, but the farmer’s wife is quite a cunning woman in fundamental things. I often wish we could have a few grand old hymns as morning sones when T’m enoalkine the
porridge.-
