IDIOSEl
IS STIR
FAITH OF SHUT-IBS
Invention Enabled Many To
Share In Religious Serv
ices Over Country
I BvurT.-CHAS. S.- McFARLAXI)
(General Secretary, Federal Council of
in msrcBH ol vnrlst in America.)
Whatever may be the outcome
ot " the alleged Sictitous warfare
between science and religion, it fa
in that science has had and
...".," deep effect upon re-
Lgion. This Is eelmt. -r--K'?o of
scientific Invention. Whether this
influence be for good or 111 de
pends on the extent to which re
ligion avails Itself of the oppor
tunities laid at Its door by science.
. No Invention of modern times
has been more significant la this
direction than that of the radio
It has already enabled multitudes
of the disabled and shut-In to
share in religions services with
their feliowman. To multitudes
of others, remaining within their
homes for a less valid reason, it
has brought the message of relig
ion anew. So far as can be ludr-
ed, it has not seriously Injured
church attendance, and It may be
believed that it will increase It.
As people become Interested In re
ligion, they will be more likely to
seek it in association with "their
feKowmen in the house of worsh
. ip. In any event, the wide spread-
Ing of the message of religion to
the multitude more than compen
:ate3 for any minor or incidental
losses. . '
Trom time to time, as occae
'on offers, the great messages of
.the Church should be voiced by
thoughtfully selected leaders. In
terpreting relijron. not only in re
lation ' to personal life,' but also
in- what it has to say, upon the
great questions of human society,
cn religion In Industry, on inter
national friendship, justice and
good will, on "race relations be
tween white and black, white and
yellow, Jew and 'Christian' et
tin? forth, the part and place of re
r '33 in alt the educational as
- ::t3 cf tuisaa Ufa. XIany such
messages would be common to Ro
man Catholic, Protestant and He
brew faiths, f Special ' religious
services are to; be held Christmas
week. Holy "Week and Easter; in
cluding the rendering of the great
religiou-3 oratorios, whose beauty
appeals to all mankind.
Religion, rightly eoeiyed and
interpreted; is a unifying and not
a humanly divisive influence. The
radio has already gone far to prove
this. It is a matter of common
knowledge that Dr. Cadman and
Dr. Fodsick are not heard simply
by a sectarian; congregation. The
radio is doing; : and will do much
for religious unity, for which all
earnest men and women prayer
fully seek,, i f-'
The religious message from the
radio, as far as regulated by the
national agencies, most have cer
tain clearly defined policies.
First of all, the message should
be constructive. The radio must
not be given over to the iconoclast
for Tituperous .and defamatory
tearing-down, but to those whose
message bailds up personal and
social lifer
It must "sc be sectarian, tor the
purpose of mere denominational
or organized propaganda," but for
the purpose of : presenting those
broad claims of religion which
touch the human heart.
The National Religious Radio
Committee has discouraged the
broadcasting of national religious
services during the time of the
Sunday forenoon services of the
churches, and has recommended
that national agencies- do not
broadcast individual church ser
vices.
Ministers and religious leaders
are already asking What is going
to be the effect of radio on re
ligion? One cannot forecast in
detail,1 but two things are certain.
It Is going to have a far-reaching
effect, and Its nature will largely
depend on whether or not relig
ion through its organized form
will be big enough to ava'l Itself
of this great,' opportunity which
science is placing at its disposal
