'Quakers—Dr. Thomas Hodgkin'
By E. E. Taylor, J.P.
The Hodgkins were a well-known Quaker family, several members of which have earned recognition in our British Pantheon, the Dictionary of National Biography. John Hodgkin the elder had the luck to be at Vincennes in 1792, in the middle of the First Act of the French Revolution, but he nearly got into trouble with the mob for refusing, as a Quaker, to join in the mass taking of the oath to the constitution. He also witnessed the massacre of the Swiss Guard. His second son, John Hodgkin the younger, was a barrister, though better known as a Quaker preacher; his elder son, Thomas, who is the subject of Mr. Taylor's talk, was a brilliant physician.
Both lads began their education at home, under their father, and John Stuart Mill was one of their boyish associates. Thomas was for many years connected with Guy's Hospital. He gave his name to 'Hodgkin's Disease' and was a member of the Senate of London University from its foundation in 1837 till his death. Always generous to patients and careless of his fees, he devoted the latter part of his life to philanthropic work, to the defence of exploited natives, persecuted Jews, and the poor in general.

By the Right Rev. the Bishop of Jarrow
Fifteen years after St. Hilda founded the Abbey of Whitby, now among England's loveliest ruins, Bede was born. When he was thirteen years old a church was dedicated at Jarrow, the church of the monastery in which Bede was a monk. It was the church of St. Paul's in which worship still goes on today.
Bede was so saintly that he feared to be absent at the hour of prayer lest the angels should say, 'Where is Bede?' He was the first great historian, scholar, writer, and theologian of the English race. At Jarrow he laboured, and died, and was buried.
This afternoon the Bishop of Jarrow is to give a talk about his memory, in this year that commemorates the 1,200th anniversary of his death, and the 1,250th anniversary of the dedication of his Jarrow church.

by PETER DAWSON (bass)
Although he was one of the first to associate himself with the gramophone, which in its early days was not popular with musicians, it is only within the last three or four years that Peter Dawson has appeared before the microphone.
In 1909 Peter Dawson was singing at Covent Garden in a season of German opera under Hans Richter. Since that time he has toured the British Empire and won for himself immense popularity as a singer of every style of song, particularly ballads, which he presents in a manner that always arouses the ntmost enthusiasm.
