The numbering of Dvorak's Symphonies is a little misleading. Actually, his first three symphonies were written as early as 1874-75, but two of these were suppressed till after his death, while the third was issued only in a revised form as ' No. 3, Op. 76'. In the meantime Dvorak had produced his so-called First and Second' (really fourth and fifth) Symphonies, Op. 63 and 70. The Second Symphony in D minor was composed in 1883-85 for the Royal Philharmonic Society and Dvorak came to London to conduct the first performance in April, 1885. It is a magnificent work, a finer achievement than the far better-known Fourth and Fifth (' New World ') Symphonies, though its tragic nature will always stand in the way of its popularity.

The Need for New Words
Allan Ferguson
In this the second talk of the series, the speaker will ask if there has ever been an age in our history that has seen so rapid an extension of the vocabulary of our language-so many new words born, so many old words diverted to new meanings. He will point out how new movements, new ways of thought and feeling, advances in science, pure and applied, the cinema, motor-car, aviation, broadcasting-all these developments make heavy and increasing demands on the resources of our language. Does it adapt itself readily to these varied needs?

Conducted by the Rev. W. H. Elliott
Organist, Reginald Goss-Custard from St. Michael's, Chester Square
The first Thursday-night service from St. Michael's, Chester Square , was broadcast on October 1, 1931, and has been a regular feature ever since. It has made Mr. Elliott indispensable to millions of listeners. The response to his invitation to attend a reunion meeting at the Royal Albert Hall last December was so overwhelming that the Hall had to be booked for a second night. In November he made a plea over the air for a League of Prayer for Peace, with the result that a Senior League was formed which has already 350,000 members, and a Junior League, consisting of 10,000 school-children, and all of them every day say a prayer written by Mr. Elliott. He is building a new clubhouse for the children of Pimlico which he hopes to complete at Michaelmas.

Composer, conductor, viola-player, Frank Bridge is one of the most gifted and most striking personalities in modern British music. At one time people used to think of him as an inhabitant of the austere world of chamber music, though it is a little difficult to connect his vital, exuberant personality with any form of austerity. It is true he began his career in that world, both as a performer and -composer. But he has also composed a number of orchestral works and numerous songs of high artistic value. Bridge now returns to his first love of chamber music, and it will be interesting to hear this evening a product of his maturity.
