fbfadsRNSA's Antl.ChriSfIan Views.
LONDON, June ga letter to the Standard,
signed by the secretary OF a London society,
states that writer. having large Indian OFF,
c1al correspondence, says letters from many
parts OF India show that of late Mr. Bradlaugh
and certain London seculartst societies have
been actively importing into India pseudo
philosophical and quasi scientific pamphlets,
apparently written to promote scepticism, and
they are also translated into HfndoOStan. The
result of their circulation has been to give rise
TO the idea among the natives that England is
giving up her views as to the christian religion.
The recent notoriety gained by Mr.. Bradlaugh
IN England and America has also given him a
fictitious importance In the eyes OF many per-
sons In India and his election to parliament
has added thereto. Under these circumstances
the value OF last weeks vote In the house of
commons is very great. Should that vote be
reversed, such announcement would be given
TO the idea: now beginning to be current In
Indla, that MT. Bradlaugh is right, and that
England Is abandoning christianity, as to in
fict serious blow to the cause of all those
missions in India in which the various christian
bodies are interested; blow from which they
would not recover for many years.
