by Hallam Tennyson
The speaker spent two years in an Indian village working on a project for the Society off Friends and living as nearly as possible in the Indian way. There were moments of comedy, but he and his wife found it a satisfying and highly civilised way. The village water tank is only one example of how the pattern of life is fitted together.

4-The Far East
In this talk Professor Toynbee speaks on the way in which Far Eastern peoples have reacted to aspects of western civilisation in different ages. He suggests that it was far easier for them to accept western technology in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries Than to accept a strange religion in the sixteenth century.
