Church Of the Covenant, Eighteenth
and N streets northwest. is sending
the, service to them through an ef-
hcient radio breadcasting station.
. Very often both the morning and
evening services are broadcast, but
every Sunday, one or the other is
sent out. During the week 1t very
often happens that there Is a
service and this, too. IL broadcast.
The broadcasting station is To-
Gated In the loft above the sun
day school auditorium, so that the
noise Of the motors may not be
heard within the church proper.
The station is connected with the
church by two receivers, one on the
pulpit Just in front of where the
pastor. Rev Charles Wood, stands.
halfway between the chancel and
the main entrance.

of the rural households and we will
be able to greatly increase the

Der of people the opportunity Of
hearing religious service when
they are prevented from attending
