Fourteen hours in flames'
Stanley McKeown Brown
To be trapped with one companion and a horse in a small potato patch entirely surrounded by sixty-foot flames was the tight corner in which Stanley Brown found himself some twenty-five years ago during a Canadian prairie fire. Also in the potato patch was a keg of dynamite. From this inferno, fanned by a sixty-mile-per-hour wind, there seemed not the remotest possibility of escape. Yet escape Stanley Brown did, to tell the tale at the microphone this afternoon. His own experience was almost incredibly horrible, yet he tells of others who, in the same fire, went through and survived even greater torture of body and mind.

Blessing
The underlying idea of this service is to enable Western listeners to enter through music and the spoken word into the worship of the Christian Church in the East. The hymns and prayers are chosen as representative of the three great national traditions taking part-India, China, and Japan.
Malcolm Adiseshiah, who will conduct the service, is Professor-Designate of Economics in Madras Christian College and is now studying theology in Cambridge. His father was a distinguished Brahmin who became a Christian and is now a leader of the Church in South India.
C. S. Tsai was formerly a secretary of the Student Department of the Y.M.C.A. in China, travelling all over the country in that capacity both before and during the Sino-Japanese war. He is now serving the British Student Christian Movement as International Secretary. K. Murase is a Japanese business man, connected with the railways.

Conductor, Ian Whyte Overture: OragifIan Whyte
Ian Whyte's overture ' Oragif ' originated as a hoax. It is taken from Mozart's overture to Figaro, the main themes of which are treated in much the same way as the title ; that is to say, turned upside-down.
