PREACHING TO MILLIONS

1t must be a great inspiration and
a source of gratitude to earnest
preachers to be able to preach to
hundreds of thousands of people at
a time-to speak intimately and di-
rectly to persons in many cities,
thousands of miles apart. They are
actually doing it by means of the
radio.
The president of the National
Broadcasting Company was telling
committee of senators about it. He
mentioned two prominent preachers
who had been heard by millions Of
listeners. One nationally prominent
he said, volunteered to give
up his pulpit for the assurance of an
opportunity to preach regularly in
to the microphone.
Through this remarkable inven-
ton sick persons can have both SER
mon and music of the church service
Milford chronicle., 1928-06-01

without even sitting up. Thousands
who never go to church have heard
sermons since the radio has come
into general use and listen to them
regularly. More significant still, men
who would never think of going to
any church other than one of their
own denomination have been educat-
ed and broadened and rendered SYM
pathetic by hearing from other, and
until now strange churches. The ra-
dio has certainly advanced under
standing and tolerance.
But there is a fly in the ointment,
it seems. Some country and village
churches have complained. They
have suffered from the radio. Their
members sometimes stay at home to
listen to the big preacher and the
fine music, and the little congrega-
tions are sadly thinned. This is vital
ly felt in the collection plate. I'm

WORKERS IGNORE
SICMAN MEETING
See It as Attempt to Get
3-Day Tax

The mass meeting called by the
Sigman-Schlesinger gang for tonight
is so completely disregarded by the
masses of cloak and dressmakers in
the market that their agents are few
erishly mobilizing all their henehmen
in the other trade unions to attend
the meeting.
Ostensibly, the meeting is called
to celebrate" the beginning of the
theoretical 40-hour week with the
cloak bosses.
The latter practically admitted this
in statement issued yesterday that
since Sigman had failed to destroy
the influence of the left wing Joint
Board, the bosses cannot be held re-
sponsible for the Inauguration of the
shorter week. This curious state
ment, it is pointed out, is made when
the union shattered by the right wing
is unable to prevent these same
bosses from running their shops on a
70 hour week basis.
The meeting is merely an attempt
to secure payments of the three-day
tax which was the sole outcome of
the recent convention of takers in
Boston, many workers declare.
