The twenty years' conflict between William Law the mystic and John Wesley : studied from their works and correspondence by T. 0. Beacheroft
Production by Douglas Cleverdon with Martin Lewis. Trevor Martin
Peter Neil , Olaf Pooley
' I was once a kind of oracle of Mr. Wesley,' wrote William Law. John Wesley's earliest biographers say that
Law was ' a great forerunner of the revival that followed and did more to prompt it than the rest of the nation taken collectively.' Yet the quarrel which distressed their friends was perhaps to be expected-a quarrel symbolised in the story of Martha and Mary.

Talk by the Rev. H. H. Rowley
Professor of Semitic Languages and Literature
In the University of Manchester
The recent opening by Professor Wright Baker of the copper scrolls and the discovery that the leather scroll supposed to be the lost Book of Lamech was really an Aramaic work based on Genesis, has renewed interest in the scrolls discovered beside the Dead Sea in 1947. In this talk Professor Rowley discusses the most recent scholarly work on the subject, written by Professor Millar Burrows and published in America.
