' Have all God's children got wings ? '

Second of the series of discussions in which three men ask a parson some of the questions that are in many people's minds these days.
Last night's broadcast ended in a question - If most people in the world want peace, freedom, and security, why don't they get them? Tonight the three laymen will press this question farther and ask the parson to say exactly what he means by believing in God, and what that has to do with the achievement of the ideals most decent men hold.
(piano) in a Brahms programme
Eleven waltzes from Op. 39
Variations on a theme of Paganini, Op. 35 (selected from both books)
Brahms was one of the greatest composers of variations and, as with Beethoven, the variation was one of his favourite forms. The Paganini Variations, based on the theme of a popular Caprice for solo violin by Paganini, are a masterly example of Brahms's genius. Intended as studies of an extremely difficult character, they are at the same time pieces of great musical beauty and imagination. One of their chief features is ingenuity of part-writing, of which Brahms was such a master.

The story of The Firebird is based upon a Russian legend. The Firebird flies through a glade in the forest. Prince Ivan pursues it to the gates of the enchanted castle of Kashchez, the magician and fiend. There he captures the Firebird, who offers him a golden feather, a magic protection in all times of danger.
In the castle gardens are thirteen princesses, captives of Kashchez. Ivan falls in love with one of them and they all dance until dawn. He tries to follow them into the castle but he is seized by the guards. Ivan summons the Firebird, who throws all the inhabitants into a frantic dance, and when they sink exhausted to the ground lulls them to sleep. Ivan then gets hold of the magic egg in which the life of Kashchez is contained, smashes it, and the monster dies. All the captives are released and join in a joyous dance.
