RELIGION BY WIRELESS.
The radio religious services broadcast through a network of stations to a congregation estimated to number some forty million persons resumed on Sunday after the summer vacation. Three services are to be given each week from now on. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman, who remains the most popular radio preacher in the United States, will conduct one series of services, Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick another, and Dr. Daniel A. Poling, President of the General Synod of the Reformed Church, is in charge of more informal services designed specially to appeal to younger people. The aim with all the services is that they shall interest particularly people who are not confirmed church-goers and shall avoid anything savouring of sectarianism. It is claimed by the organizers of these national religious services that by avoiding narrow doctrinal differences and concentrating upon the essentials of the Christian faith they advance the cause of Church Unity and at the same time improve the standards of local church services.
