doing considerable good by way Of
example. The settlement is known
by the practical name of Summer
Brook, and is carried on on much the
same plan as the original Brook
Farm of 1886. Fraternal co opera
tion is the keynote and with the ex-
ception of two servants, the families
who live in the little houses in the
Adirondacks, do all their own work,
the ladies doing the washing and
cooking and the men raising vege-
tables, picking berries, etc., and
making themselves generally use
full" One of the best known mem
bers of this community is Mr.. Henry
D. Lloyd, we'll known in this city as
author and socialist, himself man
of wealth and leisure.
1t must be said, however, of the
Summer Brook community that it
lacks the heroic element that at
tached to the older and more famous
experiment. A number of wealthy
people living in Swiss chalets up in
the Adirondacks during the summer
months may do their own work and
live simply for a few months quite
enjoyably. The novelty and actual
benefits of such an outing, and it may
be added, even the cheapness of it,
would appeal to many who never
dream of calling themselves Social
lists. 1t may even be doubted whether
wealthy people living thus are of as
much actual benefit to their fellow
men as if they spent their wealth
more freely, paying literally for work
which they now do during the sum-
mer months more as an outing than
a grave experiment at the reorganiza-
tion of society, at which the constitu
tion of the community hints. How
ever this may be the Summer Brook
experiment will be watched with in
terest and if it adds an impetus and
inspiration toward simpler and more
philosophic living in general, it will
not have been tried in vain.

OUR CONTRIBUTORS.
THE MISSIONARY PROBLEM IN
INDIA
BY REV. ROBERT JARDINE.
SECOND Article.


Now, let us ask the question, What
is the attitude which the Christian
churches actually have taken and
which they ought to take toward the
religions of India? In regard to the
lower forms of religion, the gross
idolatry, the debasing religious rites,
the gross animal sacrifices offered to
SILVA and his consort under various
names, the lingam worship, the devil
worship, there can be but one opin-
ion. Christian and Buddhist, Brah
man and Mussulman will all join in
lamenting the gross degradation of
religious thought and life into which
such multitudes of the human family
have fallen, or perhaps, more cor
rectly, from which they have not yet
risen.
The vast majority of the Indian
people are still encircled and debased
by this coarse animalism, and it is
difficult to know how to elevate the
mass. The establishment of simple
elementary schools in the rural vii
lagos and the supply of healthy
reading matter to those who have
learned to read would have a mighty
though very slow influence. The
teaching of dogmatic Christianity, or
dogmatic religion of any kind is but
casting pearls before swine, that is if
the dogmas can correctly be des-
cribed as pearls. Here is an immense,
almost untouched mass of humanity
to be operated upon by the educa-
Zionist and the philanthropist suffi-
cient to furnish occupation for the
twentieth century humanitarians.
All the wealth and resources of the
world might be devoted to the task,
and yet the field would not be over
wrought. The Brahmans, during all
the centuries of their history, have
done but little TO elevate this sub
merged mass. The Buddhists did a
great deal, because they rejected the
distinction of caste and sought to
realize in their life and work, the
brotherhood of man. Many Hindu
reformers, also, have protested against
the priestly exclusiveness of the
Brahmans and gone as religious and
moral teachers amongst the outcast
and the fallen. But still only few
have been lifted to higher plane;
the great work of enlightenment has
still to be done.
In regard to the higher classes who
inherit the ancient civilization of the
Vedic period, and of the period Of
rational thought, of poetry ana
science which followed it, the Chris
tian churches, it seems to me, made
a grand mistake. They assumed the
infallibility and the divine origin of
orthodox dogmatic Christianity as it
had been developed in the middle

THE LIBERAL CONGRESS OF RE

BY OBSERVER"

he SOuS IOS5 VI
THAT is the name now) has come and
gone. How much good it has accom-
plished we may not know. 1t was we'll
presented by our city papers. but the
attendance was not more than respecta-
BILE, the room on the first floor at no
time being full; and those attending
seemed to be persons already enrolled
in the liberal array of some existing or.
ganization, or those cut loose from all
religious affiliation. But few of the
"illiberal as they are illiberally called
the orthodox, seemed to care to know
the nature of the new and liberal
thoughts But quite full and just re-
ports of the proceedings were made in
our daily papers.
The workers were evidently in earnest
and sincere seeking after something bet
ter than they possessed = outgrowing
Unitarians, Universalists, Hebrews, and
ever Free Religionists; persons of abili-
ty, with very definite ideas that some
thing was wrong, sadly out of joint, and
very indefinite ideas as to how to remedy
things.
The program. though altogether too
crowded in view of the purpose of the
Congress, showed good judgment in Sc
lecting subjects for consideration. But
some of the principal speakers showed
a marked disposition to almost ignore
the assigned subject and occupy the
time with one of their own choosing;
and several were absent although as.
signed places on the program.
The opening sermon by Rev. P. S.
Moxon. of Springfield. Mass. was a
good illustration. "a Message to the
Churches" was the assigned subject, but
the treatment was clear, generous state
ment of the prevailing conditions and
opinions in regard to churches and the
churchless, and than strong and ans
werless argument and pleas for church
membership, or some religious organi-
zation, addressed to intelligent and rev.
erent persons out of such influence. No
message at all to the churches, but a
noble one to those who should be as
sociated with them.
"The Sympathy of Religions and Fra
ternity of the Sects" was another sub
ject capable of broad and benificent
treatment, but it was summarily dis
missed with the affirmation there was
no sympathy in religions and could be
no fraternity between the sects until
there was new religion, citing the
Supreme Pontiff's late letter to the An
glican church, and former Episcopal
pronouncement on similar subject to
other Protestant denominations, in evi
dence, and then proceeding to expound
the proposed new religion that would
have sympathy and give fraternity
Christianity could not unite the world
the speaker said, because there was the
Hebrew, Mohammedanism, Buddhism
and Bramanism, all opposed to it, and il
to all others; and each of all to al
others. So there must be new religion
without creed or liturgy, dogmatic the
ology. doctrinal statement or persona
name. A natural religion, religion
born in human nature, spontaneous. {
religion without books. These names
must be all set aside, but one name car
unite all men and all religions and tha
name was God. The utterance seemed

THE faith which the love of God
inspires does not make light of sin. II
does not shut the eyes TO the dark problem
of evil; it does not empty the future of
terrors for the wilful sinner. But it does
stand fast in the trembling and awful, yet
happy, confidence, that God is supreme,
and that divine Love will have its way at
last.-Philip Moxom.
