CHURCH BROADCASTS
Sir,-Thank you for publishing’ ‘the letter concerning the Church Music Society’s récofitendations on Chitirch broadcasts. There are two mistakes however (purely typographical erfors) that I should like corrected. First, paragraph five should have read: "That rio relays of actual services should be made during the choir recess petiod between Christmas and the New Year." Secondly it is not the Wellington Branch of the Church Music Society, it is the N.Z. Church Musie Society which meets ih Wellington. Wellington has no branch of the Society as yet.
JOHN H.
BOOTH
(Wellington).
Sir-It may interest Mr. Booth to know that; in spife of the decision come to at a discussion recently héld by the Church Music Society regarding Chutch broadcasts, there aré many who listen in to a Church service as devotional worship, and this aspect of the broadcast is where its value lies, not the extra polish up because the service is going over the air. After all, it is the service and not the présehtation of it that really counts, thotigh nattrally anything offered to the Highest should always have the greatest effort towards perfection. So please let us continue to have our Church services relayed in the spirit of worship humbly offered to Almighty God and not as a concert given in a Chutch. Wé can get plenty of concerts given in their tight place, which te many minds is net a Church.
