This important outline of Church history, from the Acts of the Apostles to the Reformation, will be carried on today by that great scholar, Dr. Rawlinson, author of 'Studies in Historical Christianity ' among other publications. He will discuss the obscure beginnings of Roman Christianity; St. Peter and St. Paul ; Christianity from the point of view of the pagans and the real grounds of the conflict between Empire and Church.

Ⓓ IN DUBLIN'
Lady Longford
The title seems to explain itself, though after living in Dublin for some years and taking an active part in the life of the city, Lady Longford says she feels almost more like an Irishwoman in London. She is over here again, producing plays with Lord Longford. Herself a play-wright and a witty novelist, Lady Longford has never yet given a broadcast talk. Few people, whether English or Irish, men or women, have made a more intensive study of the history, art, or life of her adopted Dublin.

Thomas Augustine Arne in his own day was recognised as one of the foremost of English musicians, and indeed from the production of his music to Milton's Comus in 1738 until about the middle of last century there was none to challenge that position with him. Since then his music has been somewhat unaccountably neglected, and we owe it largely to the enthusiasm of some of our young musicians today that the best of it is being revived. Julian Herbage has contributed a large share in reviving some of the finest music of the old Doctor, which has remained for generations forgotten on the dusty shelves of libraries.

Yvonne Arnaud (pianoforte) Fauré had great power of lyrical expression. His music abounds with beautiful and finely drawn melodies.
A consummate craftsman and a harmonist of considerable range and subtlety, everything he wrote was polished to the utmost degree and designed with an unerring sense of balance and clarity of style.
It is a curious fact that although chamber music was an important creative medium with Faure, the purest of all chamber music combinations-the string quartet-he neglected until the last year of his life, when the String Quartet in E minor appeared. In many respects it is a beautiful work, particularly the expressive slow movement, but it is perhaps not quite so perfectly finished as the composer's other chamber works, for he died before he could give it a final revision.
