A reading from 'Christ and His
Cross', by Dr. W. R. Maltby
Dr. W. R. Maltby is one of the most widely known and best loved of Methodist ministers. The three outstanding things about him are his sense of humour, his passion for intellectual honesty, and his conviction that the key to Christian faith lies in patient ' staring at the New Testament until it comes to life '.
' Christ and His Cross ' consists of talks given in Australia in 1935. Dr. Maltby brings to his task a deep insight into the mind and experience of Jesus and a clear understanding of the teaching of St. Paul. The book has been widely read by both Anglicans and Freechurchmen.

Conducted by Ian Whyte
Dvorak's Symphony No. 4, in G, was completed in 1889 and dedicated 'to the Bohemian Academy of Emperor Franz Joseph for the Encouragement of Art and Literature, in thanks for my election '. It is one of the Czech master's loveliest and most idyllic works. Like many of his later compositions, it is simpler and more light-hearted than those of his middle period, which are often akin to Brahms both technically and in their seriousness of mood.
The story of the father of modem antiseptic surgery, by Howard Jones
The name part is played by Geoffrey Wincott
Production by John Gough
Before Joseph Lister took up his researches in antisepsis in Glasgow and Edinburgh, surgery was a hazardous undertaking. While operations themselves might be successful, thousands of patients died through post-operative septicaemia. To all this, by his discovery of antiseptics, Lister put an end. He was, in fact, the man who made modern surgery possible.
His reforms were bitterly opposed, but finally he performed an operation that no other surgeon had dared to attempt. His life ended in the glory that might be expected for one who had banished surgery's greatest danger. Tonight's play leads the listener through Lister's career in a series of its most dramatic scenes.
Henry Hall and his men are the ' band of this week '. They gave their first broadcast this morning and they will be heard frequently both in the Home Service and for the Forces.
