First of a series of discussions in which three men ask a parson some of the questions that are in many people's minds these days
Tonight, and for the next three nights at this time, three men-a working man, once a miner, then unemployed for nine years and now a postman ; an employer in the engineering trade ; and a young man recently a student at Oxford-are to ask a parson some of the questions that are puzzling so many today.
The three laymen are greatly impressed by the spirit of endurance shown today ; but, like a number of others, they are wondering what is going to happen when the war is over, and whether the Church has anything useful to say about it. They will state their difficulties frankly and without reserve, and the parson, Canon F. A. Cockin , will give as honest an answer to their questions as he can.
Further details will be found in the article by Dr. J. W. Welch on page 3.

Mozart, who died on December 5, 1791, dated the first page of the Requiem 1792. This, which at first strikes us as a slip, may be correct after all, if at the time when he lay in his unmarked grave his Requiem, was being written down by his pupil Sussmayer, from instructions given before his death. It is almost established that Sussmayer did not finish the Requiem himself, as it used to be thought.
Whoever was ultimately responsible for its final form, it is a great and inspiring work.
