Memorial Services of Two Lodges Sent Through the Air

The Annual Memorial Services of Brooklyn, N. Y., Lodge No. 22, the largest Lodge of the Order, were unique in many respects. They were held in the famous Plymouth Church of Brooklyn and were broadcast through the municipal radio station WN'VC. Hundreds in the surrounding districts heard the eloquent address of Hon. Francis P. Bent who was the orator of the day, and listened in on the whole impressive service—one of the most beautiful ever conducted by the Lodge. Another Lodge whose memorial services were successfully broadcast to thousands of listeners in all parts of the country was Cincinnati, Ohio, Lodge No. 5. The services were held in Music Hall and Hon. Lawrence H. Rupp, formerly Chairman of the Grand Lodge Committee on Judiciary, was the orator of the day. The organ music and the vocal selections were particularly impressive, and laudatory comment on the beauty of the entire service was received from listeners scattered all over the United States. The services were broadcast from station WLW through the kindness of the Crosley Radio Corporation.
