FOR the past twelve years the Rev. Frank Niehol has worked in Britain's only South
American colony. British Guiana, as superintendent of the Colonial Missionary Society. His activities have embraced not only white men and the descendants of the African slaves who were brought to work on the sugar plantations, but also the remnants of the aboriginal tribes, particularly the Arawak Indians.

Appeal by Sir Leonard Lyle, M.P.

This Hospital is situated in the poorest part of London, and serves a population of two millions. It has the fourth largest Out Patient Department in the Metropolis, the attendances last year numbering 145,780, and the casualties dealt with in that Department totalled 26,676. Its Maternity Wing is the fourth largest in England. Founded in 1861 as a dispensary, it has since grown into a great General Hospital, and it was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1917. During the last four years three new wings have been erected and paid for at a cost of £120,000. A further new wing which is being built will contain 24 beds for casualties, a new Children's Medical Ward, a Solarium for Sunlight treatment (probably the only one in London), and a very much enlarged X-Ray Department.

THE WIRELESS SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, conducted by PERCY PITT
Movements from Second Orchestral Suite
MOSZKOWSKI, whose graceful music has been so widely played, died a poor man owing to losses brought about through the war.
He was a Pole, born in 1854, who was for long equally popular as Concert Pianist and Composer.
His Second Orchestral Suite (Op. 47) was first heard in this country in 1890: when the Composer conducted it at a Philharmonic concert. It includes a part for the Organ, an instrument, of course, not often available in the concert room. There are altogether six Movements, four of which we are now to hear.
