HYMNS IN BROADCAST SERVICES
Sir-I write not only in support of E. Lacey (Petone), but also to enlarge the idea. For some time I have been unable to attend church services and have had to depend on the hymnology of each service. This has meant that because the churches could not agree upon a hymn book which could be used by all in common I have not been able to join at home in the singing. I have been thinking how the difficulty could be overcome, and have come to the conclusion that it could be overcome only by the printing, in Old and New Notations and in words, of 20 or 30 of the best-known hymns of each denomination. This would mean that each broadcasting body would require to choose its own hymns. But many of the hymns chosen would be duplicated, thus reducing the dimensions of the book. Many of the worshippers in the homes would
be glad to purchase the book so that they might be able easily to find the number of the hymn, instead of,°as at present, becoming disgruntled in the attempt to look over several indexes and finding eventually their efforts un-
successful,
JOHN B.
