Begins: 'The Canterbury Festival has this year been ennobled by a poetic drama which states in stark sincerity and with unflinching courage the message of Christ. Would that in every cathedral and place of worship in our land there could be set up those lines from the closing passage of' at this point the text continues in another hand. A reference is made to 'The forces with which this urgent message must contend are well illustrated in the notices of the play. | Again, as those of us who saw it know, the play reaches at its climax a passionate force of most moving sincerity.' The writer(s) take exception to the view of the Times reviewer that the language at the play's climax 'reveals a want of emotional force'. The reviewer, 'having clearly shown that he has understood much of the play's purpose, proceeds, to adapt his own phrase, conscientiously and deliberately to decry and question Mr Fry's deep sincerity [] It is plain that to the dramatic critic of the Times the message of Christ is a dangerous idea.' The letter ends: 'May I, in closing, congratulate Mr Michael Golden on his fine interpretation of Cymen's great struggle against evil, and the other members of a memorable cast on their part in the performance of so significant a play'. Also present is a newspaper cutting of a review of the 'Festival Play At Canterbury | From J. C. Trewin'.

This fragment states that ?leaders doing the [right thing] was proving infectious?Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated on January 30, 1948. Gandhi had been an astute political campaigner who fought for and won Indian independence from British rule, and championed the rights of the Indian poor. His example of non-violent protest set the example for Martin Luther King and others, and is still revered throughout the world today.Gandhi?s biography states: ?He stopped at the thresholds of the huts of the thousands of dispossessed, dressed like one of their own. He spoke to them in their own language. Here was living truth at last, and not only quotations from books, for this reason the Mahatma [Great Soul], the name given to him by the people of India, is his real name. Who else has felt like him that all Indians are his own flesh and blood? When love came to the door of India, that door was opened wide. At Gandhi's call India blossomed forth to new greatness, just as once before, in earlier times, when Buddha proclaimed the truth of fellow-feeling and compassion among all living creatures.?In early September 1947, Gandhi moved to Delhi to help stem the rioting there and in the neighboring province of East Punjab. The rioting had come in the wake of the British partition of India into a largely Hindu India and largely Muslim Pakistan. The creation of the new independent dominions of India and Pakistan involved large, chaotic transfers of population between them, and there was violence and uprooted populations. Some Hindus saw the sufferings of Hindu refugees escaping from Pakistan as unbearable.Meanwhile, by late 1947, India and Pakistan were already at war over the province of Kashmir. The government of India, led by Congress Party leaders, had withheld a payment due to Pakistan in January 1948 because it did not want to finance Pakistan, which was at war with India at that time. Gandhi opposed the decision to freeze the payment as inconsistent with agreement, and on January 13, 1948, went on a fast-unto-death to pressure the Indian government to release the payment to Pakistan. The Indian government, yielding to Gandhi, reversed this decision, and Hindu extremists interpreted this sequence of events to be a case of Gandhi controlling power and hurting India and Hindus. The very day Gandhi went on his hunger strike the plot to assassinate him began to be planned. The hunger strike ended January 18.On January 20, 1948, two days after the termination of the fast, an attempt was made to throw a bomb at Gandhi as he was addressing a prayer meeting in the Birla House compound. The bomb exploded some fifty yards away from where he was sitting, but nobody was injured. A Hindu youth, described as a refugee from the West Punjab, was arrested and an unexploded hand-grenade was recovered from his pocket. The explosion was loud enough to be heard at a far-off distance. Gandhi remained unruffled. When Gandhi spoke, he referred to his statement that he might now proceed to visit Pakistan. But that, he explained, could only happen, if the Pakistan Government were convinced that he was a man of peace and friend of the Muslims and would, therefore, like him to go to Pakistan. He would, however, in any case, have to wait, till the doctors declared him fit to undertake the journey. This willingness to go to Pakistan further angered Hindu extremists. He also stated, referring to the sufferings of the Hindu and the Sikh refugees, that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was doing all that was possible in order to bring them speedy relief.Gandhi?s biography offers this description: ?Speaking after prayers on January 21, Gandhi referred to the previous day?s bomb explosion. He had been receiving anxious inquiries and praise for being unruffled during the accident. He thought that it was military practice and, therefore, nothing to worry about. He had not realized, till after the prayers, that it was a bomb explosion and that the bomb was meant against him. God only knew.
