Radio Irritation

The National Broadcasting Company refused to
nut on the air the addresses by prominent preachers
and others given at the meeting of the national
birth control conference. 1t did so on the ground
that they might be irritating to many owners of
radio SETS
The company stated that it declined to broadcast
the speeches. ue to the controversial nature OF the
discussion and due to the fact that it might tend
to rritate listeners inasmuch the Catholic church
and the Jewish religion opposed to birth control
in any form"
To deny the air to any topic merely because 1t Is
controversial and might rritate considerable bloc
of listeners to adopt highly dubious basis for dis
elimination, inconsistency and unfairneSs.
The National Broadcasting Company allows the
freest access to the air by those who present orho-
dox views religion God salvation, sin, the Bible,
modern business and the like. These are ow-sub-
jects on which there intense and honest differ
ences of opinion and about which there is the vest
sort of current controversy.
To invoke the defense of protecting radio patrons
from irritation will not prove convincing argument
to many More than go per cent Of Americans are
not active churchg Some of these might be irr
tated by radio sermons of both fundamentals and
modernst clergymen.
Certainly orthodox sermons would irritate larger
group than affiliated with the Catholic and Jewish
faiths in America combined. Ex-Presdent Clarence
c. Little of the University of Michigan says: eff the
birth control question is any more irritating than
some fundamentalis preachers have heard over the
radio then don't want to think about it."
more fundamental question is that of public edu-
cation and the consideration of just who ought to
listen to a controversial debate. 1t would appear
reasonable that it is exactly those who likely to
be irritated who should be given opportunity to listen
Those who are pleased by discussion are likely al
ready to be converts who do not need to listen.
The skillful speaker such occasions will aim
to provide a maximum of persuasive enlightenment
and a minimum of provocation. Such certainly was
the case with the birth control meeting in question.
1t was presided by eminent cleric and the
addresses were given by famous preachers. No one
asked the National Broadcasting Company to open
its service to fanatcal partiSans of birth control.
DR.. Fosdick observed at the meeting that birth
control is here as much as automobiles. We can not
evade or deny this fact.

and defects of the movement. Nobody should be

ShadOw-Boxing With Religious Ghosts

Some years ago a distinguished professor at CO.
lumbia university defined theologian blind
in dark looking for black cat which isn't
there"
This doubtless over-harsh estimate of theology
and its place in religious life Theology as mans in
tellectua Interpretation of the nature and meaning of
religious experience and activity has permanent and
enduring place in religion though its province
may be handed over more and to social scientists
But squabbles over relatively petty matters of be-
lief and ritual inevitably bring religion into disrepute
with up-to-date minds Moreover, they disspate the
energy which churchmen should be devoting to adj
vancing the of justice truth, beauty and hap
pness in the everyday life of man.
Such is the underlying issue brought to the fore in
the quarrel between Bishop Manning and the
participants in the New meeting of the Christian
Unity League. Coming together to promote accord
among Protestant Christians they provoked vivid dis
senson over delicate techncaliteS in the admniStra
ton of the communion service.
Many friends of a dynamic social religion will
wonder why church leaders today are greatly con-
cerned with respect to communion rites genera
ton ago DR.. Hatch and others pointed out the deri
walton of the rites of communion and the mass from
the Greek mystery religions AT the same time, Cony
beare, Shotwen and Goetz were demonstrating that
St. Paul instituted the sacrament of the to
pete successfully with the Greek cults among which
he was PROSECUTING.
Percy Gardner, Alfred LoiSy Bishop Barnes of
Birmingham and others have made it clear that We
must seek the origins and meaning of the sacramentS
including the mass and the Protestant communion
service, in anthropoogy rather than through study
Of formal systematic theology.
In short, in strictly contemporaneous religious dis
cusSon controversy the niceties of communion
ritual etquet is comparable to animated contro
verSy regard to varying interpretations of how God
dictated the Bible to Moses
Yet churchmen allow themselves to be drawn into
a warm dispute the communion service without
for moment bringing up the crucial question of why
it should longer be matter of deep concern to any
but fundamentals.
The meeting of the Unity league would have pro-
duced more confidence and interest among skeptical
put friendly observers the sessions had been devoted
to the place and function of the church in the modern
urban and industrial age.

IT SEEMS TO ME By HE RRoUS

TT is exciting to hear that Sherlock
Il Holmes is coming back and with
him William Gillette. Indeed, these
two are interviewer SO closely that
it is difficult to remember which is
the detective and which the actor.
I defy any one to think of the
character created by Conan Doyle
without giving him the physical ap-
pearance of Gillette.
No other performer ever has made
famous fictional figure so wholly
his own. And Holmes is familiar
the whole world round. Surely no
other character in modern fiction
is known to so many millions OF
readers.
It seems to me that critics have
been little toplofty about discuss
ing Conan Doyle's achievement. You
seldom see his name mentioned in
any discussion of the truly notable
writer's of our day.
And yet, as a betting proposition
I would venture to wager that Sher-
lock Holmes will continue to be
known in day when Hardy is quite
forgotten and most of Kipling dim
memory.
This does not mean that Conan
Doyle has written better than his
contemporaries. I can think, off
hand, of a dozen men who seem to
me more important in the cosmic
scheme.
But posterity, like ourselves, may
reject the good and beautiful and
hold to something for the plain and
simple reason that it likes it.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-11-27

but a figure which never has been
approached.
The play founded on the life of
the great man of Baker street has
aged by now, and it never was any
great shakes as drama.
Still, I will not soon forget my
early thrill when the lights in the
gas chamber went out and Holmes
tricked the Williams into following
the false clew of his burning cigar
Although there must be rust on it by
now, 1 trust the play has retained
some of its great vitality.
William Gillette always will be for
men a dashing player, even though
he comes back new a man of more
than 70, who has been in retirement
some ten years. He was the hero
of the first play I ever saw. This
was not Sherlock Holmes" but the
earlier Civil war play of Gillettes
own authorship, called Secret Serv-
ice"
