To the present generation 'The Pilgrim's Progress' is apt to seem a grim, forbidding book, the relic of an age when people read the Bible and knew Foxe's 'Book of Martyrs' by heart. But anyone who has the courage to read it will find that it is indeed a companionable book; one of those stories in which you follow one character - Christian - through a series of adventures and tribulations, and feel a real affection for him at the end. Quite apart from its quality as the epic of Puritan religion, 'The Pilgrim's Progress' is as human a story as any of those of which Professor Gordon has talked.

THE English Singers have just returned to this country after a phenomenally successful tour in the United States. America prodtices singers like The Revellers, who are probably unrivalled in their singing of syncopated songs, but They have no one to compare with The
English Singers in the singing of Madrigals, Folk. Songs, and the like, which call for finished artistry both in conception end performance. This English invasion of America was wholly successful, and we are glad that tho first public performance of the Singers after their return-like the farewell on October 6, before they went—will be broadcast from The London Station.
