Conducted by the Rev. W. H. Elliott
Organist, Reginald Goss-Custard from St. Michael's, Chester Square
Few can have been broadcasting so long or so constantly as Mr. Elliott, who gave his first Mid-Week Service on the air on October 1, 1931, and has been giving them regularly ever since. Millions throughout the country take comfort from them and they are now to be extended to Empire listeners on the second Thursday of every month. On December 9, a fortnight ago, he was heard all over the world.
A year ago he filled the Royal
Albert Hall to overflowing on two consecutive nights. Tonight he will be giving his Christmas message, with the St. Michael's Christmas tree, lit with 500 candles, standing beside the pulpit and towering up to the roof. Parcels and toys from it have been distributed all over London. As a gift for another
Christmas, Mr. Elliott is now building a club-house for the young people of Pimlico.
