Long Distance Relay
LONG-DISTANCE church relp the first of its kind to be carriéd out in New Zealand, took place on Sunday evening, July 28, when Trinity Church, Timaru, was put "on the air" by 8YA. Following the church broadeast. a concert given by the Timaru Municipal Band in the Theatre Royal, Timaru, was also relayed. It was because of this latter broadeast that the church relay could be carried out.. The concert relay having been arranged by 3YA, the Presbyterian authorities in Timaru requested that the opportunity might be availed of to broadcast their chutch service. The Rev. N. L. D. Webster, of St. Andrew’s Church, Christchurch, who was scheduled to broadcast that evening, agreed to forego his relay in order that the Timaru church might bebroadcast. ‘ The preacher’ at Trinity Church, Timaru, was the Rev. A. J. H. Dow, and the organist and choirmaster Mr. Donald Parkin. The church has a’ splendid regular choir of 46 voices, and the organ is reputed to be the finest church organ in the Dominion.
