Bread of the world, in mercy broken (Palestrina)
"Bread of the world, in mercy broken,
Wine of the soul, in mercy shed;
By whom the words of life were spoken;
And,in whose death our sins are dead;
Look on the heart by sorrow broken,
Look on the tears by sinners shed,
And be thy feast to us the token
That by thy grace our souls are fed".

With his percussion equipment, which cost over £600, Styx Gibling is probably the most versatile ' noises man ' in the country. At one time he was in the Navy, where, owing to his perpetual drum practising, he was nicknamed ' Styx Later he played with the Savoy Orpheans Band, and with De Groot's Symphony Orchestra. He will be remembered for his remarkable effects work during the broadcasts of Snow White and the Seven

Cast
After many vicissitudes, Arnold Ridley's classic, The Ghost Train, fairy-godfathered from the beginning by the late Bernard Merivale , was produced in the West End, at the St. Martin's Theatre, and achieved an instantaneous success, to which the amazingly realistic sounds of\ the train contributed no little. \
The play ran for over two years'in London. It was produced in America, in the Dominions, and io every other theatrical territory in the world. It ran in Paris throughout the hottest summer the French capital has ever known. It has been filmed twice, and the novel sold over a million copies. It was first broadcast in July, 1936, but It is a new radio adaptation that is to be broadcast tonight.

Air Marshal E. L. Gossage , who is going to cover wartime air activity for the duration of this series, has seen many years of service with the Royal Air Force. In 1915 he was seconded from the Royal Field Artillery for service with the Royal Flying Corps, and has remained with, first the R.F.C. and later the R.A.F., ever since. He was granted his permanent commission as a Squadron-Leader in the R.A.F. in August 1919.
From then onwards he was steadily promoted, and has held a number of important R.A.F. posts, among which was that of Senior Air Staff Officer, Air Defence of Great Britain, which he held from 1931 to 1934. Air
Marshal Gossage knows Germany well, and should be able to speak with authority on the German Air Force. From 1930 to 1931 he held the post of Air Attache at the British Embassy in Berlin.
