Readings of Emily Bronte's poems
With commentary by Ian Watt
Readers:
Julia Lang and Frank Duncan
Ian Watt , Professor in the Department of English at the University of California, Berkeley, introduces poems by Emily Bronte , some famous, some almost unknown; and he shows how a knowledge of her childhood fiction ' The Kingdom of Gondal ' throws light on many of her poems, removing them from the context of personal self-analysis to that of objective and universal human experience.

An Illustrated talk by the Rev. Basil Minchin
Mr. Minchin, Vicar of the parish of Bedminster, Bristol, contends that the liturgical movement and the drive to present the Bible as the Living Word of God to his people-hoth characteristic of Roman Catholicism in France at the present time-may be separate in origin, but have grown inseparably together.
To illustrate his theme he uses excerpts from recordings made at the great Vigil in honour of the Word of God, for the Centre de Pastorale Liturgique, at Strasbourg in 1957. The music is chiefly the work of the Gelineau school.
