Without God and without Hope.
BY MRS. II. @. coNANT.

! An incident related the other evening il
my hearing by a returned missionary who
has labored nine years liz India, 4tfords a
striking and pathetic Illustration of the totQI
lack, in even the best forms Of heathenism. OF
anything to meet the deepest wants Of the
heart. The founder Of buddhism was a lc-
former /; his morgI system was wonderfully
pure, and bis crusade against the cruel des
potlsm Of caste entities him TO be ranked
among the benetactors of the race Even
this service to humanity was, however, faint
ed III Its source for it originated, not in en-
nobllng views Of the nature and DESTINY of
man, but in philosophical contempt. The
generations Of men are mere succession of
bubbles, of seemings, Of nonentities, having
no reality save 10 the pain which is the nee
esSSary condition of all existence, and having
therefore, as their highest end and aim, ces
saton Of being, humiliation. What ground
among such beings, all alike vain md wretch
ed, for the distinctions of rank This is the
basis oil his antagonism to caste. 1t was from
a similar standpoint that Voltaire battled
with the spirit OF religious persecution in his
day. What q contrast to the HUMANITARIAN
ism OF the New Testament
The characteristic doctrinal feature of Budd-
hism is Metempsychosis, or the trausmigra-
ton OF souls. 1t teaches that the souls of
men, appearing at any time on the earths
have already passed through numberless form.
OF being, and are destined to undergo number
less such changes after the present life. Thew
may have been gods, who have sunk through
every stage of lover existence-man, beast
bird, reptlle-and have again risen to the
dignity of human beings, from which thew
will again rise and sink, sink and rise in
eternal circles of pain and sorrow. Each
successive stage is determined by the moral
character of the individual in the one nreco-
ding which might seem strong incentive to
good works. But in all heather nations the
consciousness of sin is keen and vigorous
while the natural aversion of the deDraved
soul to real virtue drives them to substitute !
