by H.G. Wells
This radio adaptation of the first story of H.G. Wells ever to be broadcast was first produced on the air on January 9, 1933, and is an adaptation that the author had seen and approved. The story itself is one of the most famous of that long series of great short stories that Mr. Wells wrote in the 'nineties and in the first decade of this century, a period when almost every issue of the monthly magazines contained a new story by Wells, Kipling, Jacobs, Barry Pain or Conan Doyle, the bulk of which have now passed permanently into the collections. It is typical of his unique gift of combining an idea in itself fantastically original with a treatment so realistic and sympathetic as to carry entire conviction. The proverb says that 'In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king'. Tonight's story has a very different moral.
'The Country of the Blind' will be repeated in the Regional programme on Thursday night.

The Rt. Rev. the Lord Bishop of DURHAM
The Right Rev. Herbert Hensley Henson has been Bishop of Durham for fifteen years, but his connection with the cathedral and the city goes back further than that, for he was Dean of Durham for six years before he was Bishop of Hereford. He has a fine historic sense, as you would expect from the late Honorary Professor of Modern History in Durham University. When he was Rector of St. Margaret's, Westminster, his sermons had a reputation among some of the most thoughtful people in London. Among his other gifts, he writes the most perfect English without any effort whatever. That he should have been selected to wind up this notable series is altogether happy. Whereas in the old days he had a strong belief in a State Church, he has now come to believe that only through Disestablishment can the Church win its spiritual freedom.
