CALCUTTA. Jan. S.-keShu5 ChInder Sen, phi
lanthropist and promoter of the Brahma Somaj
sect in India, is dead.
Keshub first joined the Brahma Somai at Cal
cutta in 1857 an Indian sect at that time united
for the maintenance of divine worship and the
abolition of caste Keshub's matchless talents
soon placed him at the head of the younger and
more radical followers who wanted to go ahead
with greater rapidity, and in 1865 he presented
an ultimatim which affirmed an abolition of all
external signs of caste distinction; permission TO
Brahmins of pure lives only to conduct the
services of the Somai and prohibition to any ut
terapce in the Soinaj in contempt of
other SOmajes. This was rejected
and split ensued in which Keshub
headed the progressive Somai, so called in dis
tinetion from the Original Soma;. It is hard
to get at his doctrine or belief. The character
of Christ had great fascination for him and he
came on in years 30 have more and more accord
with the occidental conceptions of Christ He
declared belief in the Trinity as illustrated by an
isoeeles triangle, God being at the top, the di-
vine love coming down one side to the Son,
Christ, spreading across the base taking in hui
mainly to the other point which representing the
Holy Ghost lifted humanity up to God. But
there is an oriental mysticism and poetry about
his beliefs that does not altogether square with our
scientific western theology, and hence he was not
Christian in our orthodox sense. He demanded
for India Christ presented in oriental concep-
lion to the oriental mind 1t has been held by
some that if India is ever to be Christianized it
must be through the channels in which Keshub
labored, and which are set forth in a general
way, in as delicate and perfect eloquence as the
English language has, in Mozoomdars book. In
recent years he visited the United States, and
lectufed in some of the principal cities
