Helen Gipps (pianoforte)
Bryan Gipps (violin)
Helen Gipps hails from Switzerland, and is a member of a very musical family. She has four brothers and two sisters, all of whom studied at the Frankfurt Conservatoire and subsequently took up musical careers. Both her sisters, like herself, are exPert pianists.
Helen Gipps , who owns and directs the Bexhill School of Music, has given a great many piano recitals in this country and in America, and has frequently broadcast.
She has handed the musical tradition down to her own family, all of her three children having taken up musical careers. Her son, Bryan, whom she will accompany this morning, won a violin scholarship at the Royal College of Music at the age. of seventeen. He has been in Julius Harrison 's Orchestra at Hastings, leader of the Oxford New Theatre Orchestra, Musical Director of the Theatre Royal, Brighton, and is now leader of the Folkestone Municipal Orchestra.
When he married the brilliant violinist, Molly Harms , a short time ago, his mother said to him: You ought to have married a pianist
' I've got my pianist', he replied proudly, patting her on the shoulder.

Ⓓ World History
' St. Patrick'
HUGH CHESTERMAN
This afternoon you will hear about a great and good man who devoted nearly all, his life to spreading the Gospel among the Irish people.
It was as a result of being captured in* a raid while still a youth, and carried over to Ireland that Saint Patrick first saw the Irish people, and it was also as a result of this experience that he decided, after his escape, to return to Ireland.
The broadcast will tell you about the wild Irish of those times, and their heathen beliefs, and about some of Saint Patrick's adventures in the course of his mission of conversion.

Psalm ciii
Lesson, Isaiah xlv, 18-28 Magnificat (Dyson in D)
Lesson, Philippians iii, 1-14 Nunc Dimittis (Dyson in D)
The feast of the conversion of St.
Paul is commemorated at St. Paul's
Cathedral by special services.
For many years a feature of Evensong on this day has Keen the inclusion of part of Mendelssohn's oratorio, St. Paul. The service starts with a hymn sung in procession by the Cathedral choir, and the broadcast part of the service ends with the Overture and first Chorale from the oratorio.
The St. Paul's Cathedral Choir will be augmented for the occasion by the Cathedral special-service choir, and there will be an orchestra to accompany the singing.
