METHODIST
FARLEY
World Conference News Is to
Be Broadcast During
Months Meeting

The World Methodist conference
proceedings, to be continued q
month at Springfield, Mass, are be.
ing broadcast over WBZ. There are
several million Methodists in the
United States and Canada. The
world conference Is held once every
four years, and business of con.
siderable import to the faith will
be transacted during the course
of the month. Millions who
could never attend the confer.
ence will be interested in the pro.
ceedings, and there will be some
who attended part of it but could
not stay for the whole. A large
percentage of the faith will follow
closely every account Of the daily
sessions, and 1t is with these stay
at-homes, that the radio will do the
greatest service for the Methodist
church.
The present plan Of operation il
to broadcast the proceedings three
nights a week, but IL enough ma
terial of sufficient public interest
transpires, a summary will be put
on the air every night.
One Of the features Of the broad.
casting will be the opening morn
ing service each day. At this
period the services are conducted
by the presiding bishop Of the day.
The interest attracted by these
morning services has been amazing,
according to the officials of WBZ,
and it Is in response to this general
popularity that the Westinghouse
station has arranged to transmit
the morning services during the
month Of May.

on the nerves of the public"
Herbert and John Philip Souss,
famous march King, led the fight
before the committee in opp0sitIen
to the bill.
Herbert told the committee That
composers need the protection at
the copyright laws, declaring that

Sousa pointed out the alarming
decline in recent years, in royalties
