OUR DAYS FOR BROADCASTING GOD'S TRUTH ARE NUMBERED!
More Stations Soon to be Added
It is later than we think!
I have mentioned before an organized effort to throw off
the air the preaching of the PURE BIBLE TRUTH.
It comes from a powerful organized group in New York---
constituting themselves as the representatives of the Protestant
(Federated Council of Churches---modernist), Roman Catholic, and
Jewish faiths in a united action.
This religious combine now seeks to constitute itself the
sole voice of religion over the air in America. Their plan, if
accepted by radio stations, would shut off virtually everyone else.
It actually would bar JESUS CHRIST Himself from the air, were He
here in person today preaching as He did 1900 years ago---and in
fact, it WILL shut Him and HIS MESSAGE and His true ministers off
the air, if it succeeds!
The "RECOMMENDATIONS" sent out by this organized movement
from New York, considered only from the side as they present it,
will appeal to many if not most radio men as eminently fair and
right.
The "RECOMMENDATIONS" urge that (quote:) "religious
programs, like educational broadcasts, should be presented on a
sustaining basis, without payment for time." If no charge is made
for TIME used for religious broadcasts, stations obviously cannot
GIVE time to everybody. Therefore the "RECOMMENDATIONS" urge next:
"That time available be allocated by networks or local station
management in cooperation with advisory committees from the various
faiths." Meaning, of course, the committees of this New York
combine which has appointed itself the representation of religion
in America.
Now SHOULD radio stations DONATE time for religious
broadcasts? the answer is IT COSTS MONEY to spread and proclaim
the Gospel. SOMEBODY has to pay the cost. God's way is not for
the printing company to pay the cost of publishing the Gospel, the
contractor to bear the burden of the expense of building church
buildings, or for radio stations which may not believe the Gospel
