Part 1
Vaughan Williams ' music to Job, which dates from 1930, is dedicated to Sir Adrian Boult. There are nine scenes. The first depicts Job and his family sitting in quiet contentment surrounded by flocks and herds. Satan enters unperceived and appeals to Heaven. God answers: All that he hath is in thy power.* In the second scene God's throne is empty and Satan in triumph seats himself upon it. Job's children are then seen feasting and dancing, when Satan appears and destroys them. In Job's dream, which follows, Satan evokes terrifying visions. Next, messengers announce to Job the destruction of all his wealth and the death of his children; but he still blesses God. Job's comforters are now introduced. The dance of these three * wily hypocrites 'is at first one of pretended sympathy but gradually changes to rebuke and anger. Job curses God, and Heaven opens to reveal Satan on God's throne. Job and his friends cower in terror. Elihu's dance of youth and beauty and a Pavane of the Heavenly Host comprise scene seven. Satan then re-enters; God pronounces sentence of banishment on him, the Sons of the Morning drive him down and he falls out of Heaven. Job and his household build an altar and worship God with musical instruments. Finally, in the Epilogue (scene nine) Job, an old and humbled man, is revealed with his wife and his friends. He gazes on the distant cornfields, his three daughters sit at his feet, and he stands and blesses them.

Appeal on behalf of the East and West Friendship Council by Ken Purser
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The East and West Friendship Council, founded thirty years ago, aims to give students coming to these islands from Africa, the West Indies, and the East, the sort of welcome and introduction to our homes which we should like our own children to experience when they go abroad. This work, which is important for international friendship and peace, is carried on through a small central staff and fifty voluntary local committees.
The growing work of recent years is made possible only by the support of individual subscribers and hosts, with generous assistance from the Colonial Office, Missionary Societies, and certain commercial firms. More central offices in Gower Street, which have greatly improved contact with students in London, are at the same time an added financial responsibility.
Ken Purser , who is making the appeal, is a West Indian student member.
