Third of five recitals of songs by Schubert.
A series of eightlectures by the Rev. V. A. Demant , Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology and Canon of Christ Church, Oxford
Aims and Axioms
In this third lecture Canon Demant deals with one of the fallacies of the Liberal Era. It was assumed that if religion were taken away from man, Nature would be left. This false axiom enabled Liberalism to do without religion, but it was false because Tradition, mistaken for Nature, is left.
Because of this, there is a conflict between Liberalism's aims for the status of the person and its axiom that man is only part of a process. This distinction must be noted if we are to understand the present decline. Canon Demant does this in providing an alternative to what . Professor Butterfield called the ' Gravitational Pull ' as an explanation of the deformation of human aims.

Part 1
by Francis Williams
Today British industry is giving a good deal of attention to American production methods; yet these methods were worked out to get results that were required .for a society very different from our own. Francis Williams talks about whether we can successfully adopt production techniques that were evolved for American workers and to supply an American public.
Part 2
Talk by W. R. Philipson
Two British biologists spent four months of last winter at the invitation of the Colombian Government studying the plants and animals of the Sierra de la Macarena, a group of mountains rising from the Amazonian forest in central Colombia.
The speaker describes how the mountains lie at the meeting-place of several distinct floras, and remarks on the tameness of the animals, which have never been disturbed by man.
