R. Ellis Roberts
This very valuable feature is to remain in the New Year programme, and will again be contributed by that popular broadcaster, R. Ellis Roberts, in the first month of each quarter.
Thus listeners of all denominations are in touch with the best in contemporary religious literature. In these days of large output a selector of discernment is almost a necessity, or the very book one would most like to read might be missed altogether.

'Arctic Canada'
The Rt. Rev. A.L. Fleming, D.D.
'A Policeman on the Gold Coast'
Major H.E. Smith
The object of this series is to describe the work of the Empire through the mouths of some of the Empire's workers who will come to the microphone on the first Sunday in each month and describe some of their personal experiences.
The series will be opened by that romantic figure the Bishop of the Arctic, who will say something of his stirring life in North Canada. He covers his diocese by aeroplane, train, steamer, canoe. One day he will come down from the air to give a service to a church packed with Indians, back from musk-rat hunting. The next he will be leaving a steamer to thread his way in a canoe through a 'lead' between ice floes to confirm some little Eskimo child.
The Bishop will be followed at the microphone by Major H.E. Smith , who served for eight years in the Army, rising from private to commissioned rank, who was in the police for three years in Kenya, and for eight years on the Gold Coast. And he will talk of his experiences there.
And probably a third worker from the Empire will close this evening's broadcast.

Those who are not clear as to any point raised in the talks given on December 2, 16, and today, should state their difficulty concisely in a letter addressed to the Religious Director, Broadcasting House, London, W.1, and mark their envelopes 'The Way to God'.
