THE MAN BORN TO BE KING
Sir-I should like, through your columns, to express my appreciation of The Man Born to be King. In common with many Bible students, I had awaited this production with some anxiety, dreading lest the sacredness of the Gospel theme should be travestied and its message dimmed. I need not have beén afraid. As far as I have heard this series, I have been impressed by its close adherence to the story as we read it in the Scriptures, the human touches filling in the background that a vivid imagination and knowledge of those times have hitherto provided for all who have taken the time and thought to acquaint themselves with this greatest of all dramas in the history of the world, Here is an opportunity for those who already know the Bible story to be inspired afresh with the grandeur of its
message; and for those who are not so acquainted and have not troubled to take the longer route of disciplined Bible reading, to be gripped by the thought that there is a solution to the aspirations of mankind, to be found in the person and message of the Man born to be King. The NBS is to be congratulated on having secured this splendid series of presentations for New Zealand listeners.

Sir,-It is good to know that The Man Born to be King is now being broadcast from 1YA as well as from 2YA. I presume that it will then go on to the other main stations. I hope, too, that next time it will be broadcast at a later hour, preferably on a week night. In addition to its religious value, it must surely rank among the best cast and best produced plays that have been presented over the radio, and plays of such a standard and of such wide interest deserve to be given the best hours of broadcasting. The afternoon and early evening are not good hours for those who wish to give their attention to listening in, and who have voung fame
ilies:-
