CHURCH SERVICES
Sir-May I venture a sugestion to those ministers who so kindly conduct Divine Service every Sunday for broadcast. Being unable to attend a church I look forward to and enjoy some of these services. But I am limited to 2YA and 3YA and in each city find one or two speakers so clear and distinct that I hear every word, thoroughly enjoy, and I trust benefit by them. But the others mostly introduce so many words on the # and fff also pp and ppp that listeners lose a lot and sometimes cut off disappointed, ; Also, I know nothing about pipe organs, but why does the organist hold
down the lowest bass note all through a hymn tune? It completely smothers all the choir harmony. Déubtless these variations are appreciated’ by the congregation inside the church, but as only one service in several weeks is broadcast, I feel sure the congregation would willingly forgo them that one day for the sake of the old, the infirm and others, who can’t attend. LISTENER-IN (Lower Hutt).
