Relayed from
The Church of The Messiah,
Birmingham SIGFRID KARG-ELERT, organist and composer, who died last year at the age of fifty-four, was a celebrated figure in the musical life of this century, though his activities and fame were associated with the comparatively small world of the organ rather than with the larger world of symphonic music. A brilliant pianist and organist himself, he wrote a great deal for the organ-over two hundred pieces, some of large dimensions, and many of great beauty and originality.

Mrs. WILLIAM HENRY SALTER :
' Telepathy '
IN HER BROADCAST tonight Mrs. Salter will lay emphasis on the difficulty in deciding whether the fact of two minds happening on the same thought at the same time is really telepathy or coincidence ; and the need, therefore, to collect as many examples as possible of experiences that look like telepathy, and to compare them one with another before arriving at any conclusion.
She will give various examples : that of a person talking to a friend, and either knowing or guessing what was in the mind of that friend. Another of a person in England seeing a vision of a brother in Australia, apparently dying, and a few days later hearing that he was dead, and was lying unconscious at the time the vision was seen. She will also discuss automatic writing.
