Admiral Sir William Goodenough
Many listeners will remember the delightful talk on books that Admiral Goodenough broadcast a few weeks ago. As President of the Royal Geographical Society from 1930 to 1933, he met many an explorer at first hand. Tonight he is going to discuss the spirit of exploration rather than the individual explorer, and try to find if there is not a common factor behind them, a spirit in common that impels them to explore and discover, some urged by the wish to advance the realm of science, others the Kingdom of God, and yet again others the possessions of their own countries.

The BBC Chorus (Section B)
A Section of The London Symphony Orchestra
Leader, W. H. Reed
Conducted by Trevor Harvey
Produced by Geoffrey Dearmcr
In this Nativity play a modern poet has presented with a new significance the timeless Christmas story. It is in three parts. In the first, Adam and Eve, despairing for lost Paradise, meet the three Wise Men, equally despairing, since they have sought, not for God but for human idealism — human power, wisdom, and justice-
It is the Innkeeper who points the contrast, a contrast that is developed in the second part, where shepherds of the period of the Nativity, in an attitude differing from the self-assertion of the Wise Men, base their dependence on the Divine will and receive the angelic tidings.
In the third part the old Adam dies. Angels, proclaimed by the voice of the Innkeeper, raise from the ruins of human endeavour a new Adam, while Eve, transformed into the likeness of the Virgin Mary , presents the divine Child. In a brief epilogue the Innkeeper interprets the meaning of Bethlehem in the world today.
