RELIGIOUS BROADCASTS
Sir,-It would appear that Rationalism and Reality are definitely not compatible terms, if one is’ to judge by the statement made by "Reason." He says that he is convinced that the great majority of people nowadays are just simply not interested in religion. In actual fact there is greater interest in religion today than has been the case for decades. Religion of recent date has ‘been headline news in the daily secular press of the United Kingdom and the United States, Billy Graham has attracted the largest crowds in recorded history in England and U.S.A. to hear the Gospel of Christ. Madison Square Garden attendances were the greatest on record for any event ever, either religious or secular, when Billy Graham spoke there. Mass evangelism is the order of the day. Religious literature in all languages and representing all shades of Christian opinion, is distributed in an abundance never before known or even dreamed of. Most major denominations in New Zealand report increasing attendances and record growth. "Reason" may revolve in his own little world if he wishes, but the fact remains that there is a growing interest in religion; and if the broadcasting authorities are wise they will cater for the demand.
