It was subtitled ':the basement of history.' 'Pits' more like! Another turgid tome was Milton & Ollier the French primer with sepia photos of pre-war Dieppe where Harry Milton had been a student. Both that and 'Ur to Rome'had been well recycled by the time I received my copy (first homework assignment was to back them)and bore the names of previous owners as far back as the 1940s. How any of us ever learned history or French beats me!

Oddly though I am a church organist, I cannot ever remember having to play or sing Le-Me-Lor since those school days, yet I remember the words:-
'Lead me Lord, Lead me in thy righteousness, make thy way plain before my face.
For it is Thou Lord, Thou Lord only who makest me dwell in safety'.
Surely Geoff can tell us where this occurs in the Bible.
Can anyone remember the school song 'Non Nobis Domine'?? The music was by Roger Quilter.

It's taken from psalsm 5 & 4 Brian, in that order. If you want to hear it played go to http://www.hymnsite.com/lyrics/umh473.sht As for Non nobis (also from the Psalms)it was always sung (at Temple Street Methodists) with the 's' of non nobiSSSSSS held for as long as possible. Maybe a sign of distain for a sentiment either not believed in or not understood by most of us.
