IN this evening's talk Mr. Tumbull considers the life of tho people of India. Few systems of society are so complex or so interesting as the social systems of India. Mr. TurnbuU explains tho Hindu casto system, the joint family, and the Hindu attitude towards marriage and women, with a short consideration of that recent remarkable book, ' Mother India.' He points out that tho ' unchanging East ' is now rapidly changing, and that, the India which was once a land of peasant cultivators is rapidly absorbing the Western system of modern industry. Ho gives a brief account of Indian village life, and draws a contrast between the proverbial wealth of the Indies and the. roal poverty of India.
