CIRCUIT WORLD 25

By ROBERT MUSEL United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, April 1. — There's a saxophone tooting ‘In one Anglican church, a preacher reading murder thrillers concocted from the Bible in another; and films are being shown’ in the halls of a dozen other churches. ’ And recognizing these efforts by Church of England preachers to restore church-going habits disrupted by war, the church's publicity committee 1s considering whether to spend some $1,000,000 to help the campaign along. The proposals which the Bishop of London and his associates are now discussing include the use of films, stage plays and radio propaganda and a radical suggestion for nination of the clerical collar on the ground that it is a barrier dividing the professional churchman from the man in the street. The church hopes to get its own master plan going before eager

tangents in individual efforts to solve the problem Sldvindling congregations. In St. Peters church in the heart of Picadilly, for example, the Rev. Clarence May has become a thea trical first nighter because he finds that reading sermons based on plays or novels crowd his church. Last week he placed Rayinski the Russian-born saxophonist among his choir, and at an appropriate comment in the services the virtuoso played the “Lost Chord.” The Rev. Brian Hessiono, who founded the films in churches movement, is busy preparing scenarios ‘for more religious pictures to fill a deluge of requests from ministers who heard how these have been helping church attendance, In Bristol, a 26-year-old vicar, the Rev.

A veterans administration survey
