Maha Buddha society and editor OF the
society's joufnaloin Calcutta. He viii Sc
lect a number of assistants, including
some American Theosophists and other
opponents of what is called Esoteric
Buddhism.
The Mohammedans Of India have Sc
lected their two greatest scholars to rep
resent thea-viz, Justice Ameer Ali OF
the supreme court Of Bombay and an
other whose name in English Is not yet
announced. Orthodox Hindooism viii
be represented by Nilkanth Vithal Shas-
tri, and the SO called progressive branch,
founded by Baboo Chestnut Chunder Sen,
by the eloquent Mozoomdar. From
Bombay also viii come Mr.. Jinanji
Jamshedji Modi, who took high honors
at the University of Bombay, to present
the case Of the Parsees or Zoroastrians.
The old question as to whether Judaism
or Parseeism is the older of the two re-
ligions viii doubtless be argued anew,
but it is now conceded by the best Anglo
Indian scholars that Parseeism existed
at least in 1900 B. G.
1t was a daring conception indeed
that of calling such a convention and
inviting men of all religions-and its
success was so doubtful that the Chris
tan ministers engaged said nothing of it
till their doubts were removed. The
committee of arrangements at Chicago
comprises such men as Rev. John Henry
Barrow, chairman, Presbyterian; Right
Rev. w. E. McLaren, Protestant Epis-
copal; Most Rev. p. A. Feehan, Roman
Catholic; Rabbi E. G. Hirsh, Jew, and
opponents Of every other faith professed
in Chicago. In the advisory council and
among the consulting and corresponding
projectors are Professor f. A. Hosmer,
Oahu college, Honolulu; Bishop Arnett
Of the African Methodist Episcopal
church; Professor Conrad Won Orelli Of
Basic, Switzerland; Right Rev. John j.
Keane, rector of the Catholic university
at Washington. and many others of
equal rank.
DR.. Barrow has been at work on the
matter for two years, during which he
has sent invitations to men of every sect
in the world and has received letters OF
acceptance from about 1900 persons. To
him more than any other man is due the
credit for such a remarkable gathering.
Professor A. p. Peabody of Harvard uni
versity. whose elegant and pleasing
works on Christianity are widely read,
has been active in furtherance of the
movement. In Europe the Rev. Ferdi-
nand Csar, the great t~heologian of the
reformed churches of Bohemia, has been
very active in securing representation OF
eastern Europe, and the Rev. George T.
Candlin has been equally active for Asia.
He will bring to the conference a knowl-
edge of the religious condition of China
at least equal to that of any man living.
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1893-03-28


At first view it seemed to some timid
souls that in such a conference there was
an unwise concession, as though Chris
tianity thus consented to have its claims
weighed on an equality with those Of
the heather. The best refutation of this
view is found in the fact that mission
aries in all heather lands are most eager
for the conference and full of confidence
that their work will be advanced by
comparison and discussion. President
George Washburne, D. D., of Roberts
college, Constantinople, Bishop Parteria
of Sophia, Servia. and in fact all the
leading Christian Protestant workers in
the eastern countries urge this view
with great force. It must be admitted,
too, that all the other sects or denomina-
tons or great religions are represented
by men equally confident, and the prob
abilities are that all will be somewhat
astonished, finding, too. that they agree
in many more things than they differ.
OF all the great political movements
of modern times the British conquest Of
India had the most hberalizing effect on
the western mind, The two great
branches Of the Aryan race, separated
nearly 1000 years ago, were suddenly
brought into the most intimate relations,
and each learned with establishment of
the long and devious road the other had
toiled over in its search for the unknown
God. As the Aryans of the west had
abandoned the classic and the Teutonic
mythologies for the pure m~onotheism Of
the Jews, so the Aryans OF the east, or
the more intellectual part of them, had
adopted a sort of modified monotheism
from other races. The great literature
Of the Sanskrit tongue was opened to the
west, and now, 80 far as q merely human
wisdom can Judge, there seems an even
chance that India will modify the belief
of the west before the west converts In
| dia.
The most acute representatives OF the
varied faiths win meet at Chicago and
discuss one theme each day, THE Per-
sonality and Nature of God" MAN and
His Place in the Universe" Religion,
or the Expression of Mans Relation to
God" Unity and Diversity in Reli-
gion," Incarnation why the Universal
IdeaD, Science and Religion, " and thus
on to the summary Of all in .sThe Moral
Duties Taught In All Religions" On
each day q chosen representative of each
sect will present a summary Of its claims
to acceptance. Truly . wonderful con.
ception 10 this, and its realization viii
make an epoch in the history OF thought

The Ancient Knocker.

The days are gone when the inmates
of a house in aristocratic portions Of
New York could tell by the knock at
the door whether a member of the fam
lily or visitor was awaiting admittance.
Also they knew then what member was
there, or the social standing of the Wis
itor who was outside.
A few small knockers still linger in
Varick and Vandam streets and similar
localities, but nobody seems to use them.
The bell may show advanced civiliza-
ton, but there are people who miss the
knocker.-New York Sun.

SA~A
At first view the assembling of such a
body, and still more its peaceful and or
derby session, would seem attended with
insurmountable difficulties. The labor
Of even converting all Christians called
by one UNCONVENTIONAL name-as all
Methodists, all Baptists, or the likes
immense. That Of converting all Protes-
tants in one representative body has
seemed beyond attainment, and that Of
uniting all Christians, whether Greek,
Catholic or other. in one deliberative body
has been SO great that it has never
been attempted and has been but doubt
fully suggested. But in the great Chi
cage conference will sit intelligent and
authorized representatives of all who be-
lieve in q God and have formulated a
faith-Jew. Parsee and Mohammedan,
Brahmin, Buddhist and Christian.
Following the classification Of Rev.
James Freeman Clarke, most writers
have divided the faiths of mankind into
10 great religions. but as the Coptic,
Armenian and many more are mere eth
mic sects-that is. sects composed OF dis
tinct races rather than distinct faiths
the really great and distinct religions
may best be classed as six. and. accord
ing to late and very careful estimates by
the French academy and American Sta
tistical association, the estimates brought
down to 1892. they rank in numbers as
follows: Christians, ATT ,0SS, 600: Con-
fucianism and worship of ancestors, $780,
0O0, 600: Hindooism, 100, 000, 900; Moham-
mechanism. 176, S34 600; Buddhism. 49,
000, 900; Judaism. T.100, 600.
Of course the so called polytheists, or
gross idolaters IF there really is such a
being as an idol worshiperl the Fetch
lists, V~oodooists, or snake ~wofshipers,
and other degraded classes are omitted,
though they number at least 120, 600, 900.
The Parsees are also Omitted, but, as ]
think. wrongfully, as they have a most
distinct and clearly outlined and very
philosophical faith and are a people of
very high character and intelligence.
They number, however, less than 2OO, 900
and are considered but a remnant of the
ancient Persians-therefore ethnic in re-
ligion. 1t is a question also if the Shin
toists. numbering at least 1000, 600, and
the Taouists. numbering 43, DOC, 900, as
well as all the Confucianists, should not
be added to the class labeled Buddhism,
giving it about AGO, 600, 900 and making
itperhaps the leading division. However.
any classification is open to criticism.
As the world now is the Christians,
nominal and real. though less than q
third Of the human race, comprise ar
immense moiety Of the material power
and intelligence, but if any man has al
idea that the other faiths will not be de-
Tended by men Of extraordinary ability
and great scholarship the coming con
