THE JAINA GAZETTE
from New York and the train service is not very frequent and fast. It takes a little over an hour to get to Mt. Kisco and the Ashrama. I met Mr. Bridge and three ladies and Mr Sharma at the place. They were all very courteous and entertained us at lunch consisting of rice and vegetables. I had some talk on Jainism with a lady after luncheon but she did not seem to be really intererested in a scientificreligion. At about 2. 45, p.m. Mr. Shastri came down from his room to post his letters and we walked together to railway station. In the evening, I went to bed early as I was tired and had not slept well on the previous night. 27-9-33, 10 a. m.
Last night the ink had run out in my pen, and so I left the writing incomplete and went to bed. This morning I have completed the account of my visit to the Fellowship Centre. The last seven lines of the note under yesterday's date have really been added this morning.
9-55 p.m.
This afternoon we lunched with Mr. and Mrs. Gyanee and spent a pleasent time (about 3 hours) in their company. There were 2 other ladies present and I also found an opportunity for speaking on Jainism. Mr. Gyanee has evidently not much taste for religion, but some of the ladies showed more interest in it. We got back to the International House at 5 p.m.
It has been very hot for the last 2 days
29-9-33, 4-15 p. m. There is nothing mentioning in connection with yesterday; but this afternoon
worth
