It is believed that this is a record for one sermon, for which no relay ar- rangements or any other special plans were made in advance. One of the letters came from a leader among American manufac- turers who is spending the Winter in Florida. Another was written by an invalid in Washington, and a third by a blind woman in Alabama. A wounded veteran of the World War inclosed & check for $10 to help build the cathedral in his letter, writ- ten in a hospital in North Carolina. Others came from many intervening States. 2 Bishop Freeman said that the re- sponse from his radio congregation inspired him anew in his life work. He expressed the conviction that the radio would do much to bring religion to people and would materially as- sist in building the great Cathedrial in the Capital of the Nation.
