GERSHOM PARKINGTON
Gershom Parkington is one of the leading 'cellists in England. Before the advent of broadcasting he played in the Queen's Hall Orchestra and the New Symphony Orchestra and for several seasons conducted his own orchestra at Bridlington. As a soloist he displays a perfect technical command over his instrument, a beautiful and natural tone, and a musical feeling of rare sensitiveness.

The story of S. Nicholas Grammar School, Cape Coast Castle, Gold Coast, by the Rev. A. J. KNIGHT , Headmaster The story of St. Nicholas Grammar
School, Cape Coast, Gold Coast, the public school for West African natives, begins in 1910. On January 10 of that year the first Bishop of Accra visited Cape Coast to found a school which might produce teachers, catechists, and priests for the English Church Mission'.
The school began with only twenty-nine pupils, collected with difficulty, and was hardly known outside its owe Mission. It grew very quickly and today stands open to all, without distinction of race or creed, and draws boys not only from the Gold Coast and Ashanti, but even beyond from Togo-land, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and the Uclgian Congo. Though not yet a quarter of a century old the school is already proud of a number of Old Boys who hold important positions on the Gold Coast.
At present the number of boys on the roll is limited to about two hundred by the capacity of the buildings. But the boys themselves in their spare time are building a new School at Adisadel, two miles out of Cape Coast.

Trio in A minor Ravel i. Modere; 2. Assez vif; 3. Passacaille; 4. Final
Faurd once said that his ideal of chamber music style is ' clarity of thought, sobriety and purity of form, sincerity, and disdain of big effects.' Rave! is a true disciple of Faure, under whom he studied composition. All these qualities together with a fresh and charming melodic invention and a delicate and colourful sense of harmony are to be found in Ravel's chamber works, of which the String Quartet in F and the Piano Trio in A minor are outstanding examples. The latter was composed in 1915, and is imbued with that gentle romantic feeling which Ravel appears to have repudiated in his more recent works.

Blessing
The first Baptist Church at Yeovil was established in 1668, four years after the renewal of the Elizabethan Conventicle Act, which made dissenting worship a criminal offence, punishable with imprisonment or transportation. One of the first ministers was John Miller, who fought under Monmouth. When William III passed through Yeovil in 1688, he offered Miller a living in the Established Church; Miller refused but was allowed to continue his ministry.
Services were first held in a barn and this, enlarged and adapted, remained in use till 1810, when a church was erected. This building was replaced in 1828 by another that has been twice enlarged. It is now one of the best equipped Baptist churches in the West Country.
