-A' ' The First Ming Emperor'
INNES JACKSON
In a number of dramatic interludes this afternoon's broadcast will take listeners back to the China of six hundred years ago. At that time there was born of poor peasants a child named T'ai Tsu, who' was destined to become the first of the great dynasty of Ming Emperors and one of the greatest rulers that China has ever known.
Before he ascended his Imperial throne China had undergone a long period of oppression under the Mongols, and the Emperor made it his life's work to drive the invaders from the country and bestow upon China a period of culture and prosperity outstanding in its history.

Nunc Dimittis (Byrd in D minor) Anthem, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace (S. S. Wesley)
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee. The darkness is no darkness with Thee, but the night is as clear as the day ; the darkness and light to Thee are both alike.
God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
0 let my soul live and it shall praise
Thee. For thine is the Kingdom, the pawer and the glory for evermore. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee.

When only eleven years old Betty Humby won a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music and was the youngest pupil on record to have obtained a scholarship there. She studied under Tobias Matthay , and later under Schnabel in Germany and in Italy.
She first broadcast at the age of sixteen, and has, as music lovers know, appeared frequently at the microphone since. Her concert work includes numerous promenade concerts and provincial work under various conductors. A short while ago Betty Humby toured Scandinavia, Holland, and Denmark, giving both broadcasting and straight concert recitals.
