MEN'S CHORUS (unaccompanied)
One of the keenest and most ambitious of amateur musical organisations is the Male Voice Choir of the L.N.E.R. Music Society. It consists of 400 voices drawn from every kind of railway worker-clerks, carriage builders, guards, drivers, etc. They come from all parts of the country : from Grimsby to Doncaster, Peterborough to Norwich, and Cambridge to London. Two big concerts are given every year in the provinces as well as an annual concert in London at Christmas. Each local section of the choir rehearses under its own conductor every week and then on the day of the concert, actually an hour before it starts, the combined sections of the choir have a short rehearsal under Leslie Woodgate. The orchestra of the L.N.E.R. Music Society consists of 100 instrumentalists, all of whom are amateur players.

The Very Rev. Professor W. P.
PATERSON, D.D., LL.D., F.R.S.E.
The speaker this afternoon is a Scots-man who lives'in Edinburgh. He is now in his 'seventies-a good age for a reminiscent talk by a mentally vigorous man who has led an active and varied life such as he has. He was educated at the Royal High School and University of Edinburgh ; afterwards he studied further at Leipzig, Erlangen, and Berlin. In 1887 he was appointed Parish Minister of Crieff, and later he was made Professor of Divinity at Edinburgh University. From 1916 he was Chaplain-in-Ordinary to the late King in Scotland.

6.0 ESTHER COLEMAN 6.15 QUARTET AND WATSON FORBES
Brahms composed two quintets for two violins, two violas, and 'cello : the first in F (1882), the second in G (1891). In view of the effectiveness in these two works of the addition of another viola to the string quartet, thus lending weight and colour to the rich polyphonic style of Brahms's music, some critics believe that Brahms's three string quartets would have been more effective had they been also scored as quintets.
The first movement of the F major
Quintet is melodious and clear in design ; the second movement is considered by Sir Donald Tovey to be ' one of Brahms's very greatest inspirations ' : it consists of a slow section alternating with a quick scherzo-like section ; the third movement is compressed in statement and form and full of high spirits.
' The Voice from the Edinburgh
Gallery '
JAMES AGATE
When the famous actress Mrs. Siddons toured Scotland she met with no success. Everywhere audiences were either completely silent or hissed her. At length, at Edinburgh, a small reward came her way. At the end of her great scene in one of her plays when she had finished delivering the longest and most eloquent speech in her repertoire, a voice from the gallery was heard saying, ' No sae bad ! ' It is the owner of this voice who is the subject of James Agate 's Imaginary Biography.

An appeal on behalf of INGLETON HOUSE (CLAPHAM Boys'
HOME) by Sir CEDRIC HARDWICKE
Ingleton House, Clapham, is a home for about thirty boys aged between nine and seventeen years, and mostly orphans. They are given a secondary education and a start in life under conditions as nearly as possible like those of the more fortunate boys with whom they associate. Owing to the small size of the home, boys whose qualities and abilities would not easily find expression in large institutions are enabled to have the chances they deserve.
The maintenance of the home costs about £2,000 a year. Most of this sum is raised through the generosity of voluntarv subscribers, but now about £10,000 is required to secure the permanence of the work for the future.
