CHURCH BROADCASTS.
Sir,-I wish to endorse. the views of "Picton Listener’ regarding the value of church broadcasts from a devotional point of view. A service from the studio, such as the regular morning one, can be very helpful, particularly when. the preacher speaks slowly and _ distinctly; but it is both pleaSurable and profitable to feel part of the unseen congregation, and to join in the hymns and prayers. Anthems and solos would be much more appreciated if the words were clearly enunciated. ; Some ministers do state the hymnbook that is being used, as asked for by E. Lacey, of Petone. My request is for all ministers to read out the first line or two of the hymns, so that if we listeners have not the book used, we may find the hymn in another. The daily devotional services can also be more appreciated when we are Ld what the hymns are to be. I suppose ministers rarely, if ever, have the time or opportunity to listen to the services. That is rather a pity, for if they did, they would understand better what is needed. There are, however, a few "super" ones about whom no com- plaint can be made.
