James Ebenezer Boon

“ Boon, President of the Peckham Christian Union, who yesterday had his sermon at Blackheath broadcast by wireless, so that it was heard "as distinctly as if he had been among them" by his own congregation at Peckham. In this way may the radio be a boon and a blessing to men in many places. No longer need we tolerate a dull preacher, for we shall be able to switch on the inspired and inspiring eloquence of some prince of the pulpit. But what is to become of the dull preachers? ”

“ It commands a wide field in which to spread the Gospel, and although it has yet to be perfected, I am convinced it will prove a valuable means of bringing the Gospel into the very homes of the people."—The Daily Telegraph. ”

“ Widespread interest has been created by the fact that Dr. J. Boon delivered a sermon to his congregation at Christ Church, Peckham, last evening by wireless, from Blackheath.
Some clergymen see infinite value in "broadcasting" for purposes of propaganda. But opinions vary as to whether the system should be introduced as a common method of carrying on services on Sundays. ”
