TALKS IN PRINT
Sir-I would like to express warm appreciation-even if a little belatedof the fact that you saw fit to publish in The Listener of August 23 the Rev. G. A. Naylor’s splendid talk on the ministry in the "My Poor Boy" series. Mr Naylor himself is to be congratulated on the high quality of all his broadcasting, and on the depth of penetration he brings to the subjects he discusses. May I be so bold as to suggest that perhaps you’ could see your way clear to publish his earlier talk-the first in the New Zealand Attitude series-entitled "The New Zealand Attitude to Religion’’? This was a particularly splendid talk, and if it existed in some tangible and accessible form I am sure that it would cause much interest and arouse more than a little discussion. I would go so far as to say that Church fellowship and discussion groups could use it to their very great profit in seeking to understand more clearly and realistically the religious attitude against which the Church in this country carries on its work. I asked several people-some
beyond my own locality and districtif tltey had heard this talk, and not one of them had, and it wasn’t because they were not interested in the subject. In making the suggestion that I do I am not pushing for any special preference for any one man who broadcasts, so much as suggesting that talks of a stimulating, provocative, and informative type covering a number of subjects would be well received by The Listener readers. If The -Listener were to do this it would be following in a very worthy way the English Listener, which regularly publishes articles that have previously been broadcast. Several of the published talks I have taken the time to file, and find myself from time to time referring to them as invaluable sources of information. As a point of interest I have also filed Mr Naylor’s published article on the ministry.
