AM hail, 0 true Body,
Of the blessed Virgin born,
Which in anguish to redeem us Didst suffer upon the Cross;
From whose side, when pierced by spear, There came forth borh water and blood: Be to us at our last hour The source of consolation.
0 loving, O holy, 0 Jesu, thou Son of Mary, 0 have mercy on me. Amen.

Last of four talks by Cyril Philips
Professor of Oriental History in the University of London
4-The Indian Experiment
When India gained her independence she had to weld together two different materials—the social and religious ideas of her own civilisation and the British traditions of law and government. How far has she succeeded in creating out of these two ingredients a political system that is really national and likely to be durable; and what, if anything, has this system to contribute to the development of Asia as a whole?
In answering these questions, Professor
Philips refers especially to the work and writings of Surendranetih Banerjea and Pandit Nehru.
