Round me falls the night; Saviour, be my light:
Through the hours in darkness shrouded
Let me see thy face unclouded; Let thy giory shine
In this heart of mine.
Earthly work is done,
Earthly sounds are none;
Rest in sleep and silence seeking, Let me hear thee softly speaking; In my spirit's ear
Whisper ' I am near.' Blessed, heavenly light.
Shining through Earth's nifcht;
Voice that oft of love hast told me;
Arms so strong to dasp and hold me; Thou thy watch wilt keep, Saviour, o'er my sleep.
Prayers

Last of three talks by Francis Huxley
The speaker has recently returned from his first anthropological expedition, during which he lived for four months with a native tribe in the Brazilian jungle. ' Anthropotogy,' he said in his first talk, ' is rather like a game of hide and seek: you lose yourself, and try to get someone else to find you. By learning about him, you know that much more about yourself.' In his final talk he describee some of the ways in which his experience of studying a primitive community also proved to be a process of self-discovery.
