NOT A SINGLE RELIGION.
Hindooism a Mddtipiacity Of sects
With Only Caste in Common.


Hindooism is not a single religion, but a
huge encyclopedia OF, distinct and indepen-
dent worships; it is not a unity either of
thought or custom. but 4an immense null
tiplicity of sects and. their observances It
ray be described as the amalgam of all the
religious ideas and usages of all the Indian
peoples through all their past. To no two
classes in no two places is 1t exactly the
same thing. Its one permanent and distinc-
tive feature is Its social order; where caste
is Hindooism Is. where caste is not. Hin
dooism will not condescend to be. Grant
this fundamental institution, and 1t will be
tolerant beyond the widest occidental
dream of liberation. 1t spreads not by the
conversion of individuals. but of tribes or
peoples. Its unit Is not the person, but the
family; for the individual it has no place.
does not care: but the family, or the aggre-
cation of families which we term CASTE is
to it all in ALL 1t is more by his fulf1llment
of his domestic duties, his fidelity in his pa
ternal functions and obligations, than by
lis ritual conformity that a mans ortho-
doxy Is Judged.
Hindooism is neither philosophy. nor
particular worship. nor belief, nor any
specific theology, but simply caste. OF
course, caste may carry with 1t most of
these other things, but not in any uniform
or authoritative shape. There are various
PHILOSOPHERS. but they are concerns of the
are affairs of the temple or the shrine;
there are an inf1nity of beliefs, but they are
conditioned by time and place; there are a
multitude Of theologies, but they belong to
the sect.
The one thing inviolate and universal Is
caste; it fixes the lines within which a man
must walk. the customs he must observe,
the social laws he must obey. the means by
which he must earn his living. 1t Is at once
ubiquitous and invincible. has lived amid
the laws and divisions of states. keeping
the people one while the kingdoms were
multitude: it has continued and spread in
the face of linguistic and racial differences,
and has thriven by means Of the agitations
and controversies that have in Europe Gre
ated heresies and schisms. But the one
thing caste will not allow to be touched Is
the family; it's omnipotence lies in its power
to isolate the individual and to reduce him
to condition of more absolute helplessness
than could ever be experienced by any solt-
tary in teen1ing world which has no place
for him. and where he is known of no man.
This Is power which may grow, but which
could not be made; which the conversion
of individuals may do more to confirm and
define than to change; and which can be
dissolved only by process as gradual and
as inexorable as the process which formed

People used to ask for "a quill pen-" or
"a quill" when they wanted a pen, and
both steel and quill were always called
pens" buyers asking for fine or other
''nfbs" or ''nebs." Nowadays nearly all ask
for ''nibs'' when they require pens. The
word pen has almost dropped ont of
combined. Persons invariably ask for
box of "nibs.'' appearing to lose sight of
the fact that nib or ''neb'' is point, and
that the points of pens alone are not to be
had One would think that in these days
of much schooling teachers would define
pen" from point or nib but they, too,
as for "nibs" when they mean pens "
Children only know a pen holder and
pen combined They ask for "nibs'' or
''pen nibs" and when asked If they do not
mean pens the reply is No! nibs!''

Another difficulty which the beginner has
to encounter is that the snow may be in a
different condition each day-soft and slip
perry after rain, soft and heavy during a
thaw, accompanied by sun and bright skies,
and hard and swift during a frost. Each
surface requires its own method of treat
ment which experience alone will teach
Skiing as practioed at the winter resorts
like skating or tobogganing. but those who
like to do some mountaineering and cross
passes involving descentS on steep snow
slopes can make skiing into u useful form
of locomotion, which enables them To ac-
complish feats of distance which would
otherwise be quite impracticable.
People differ good deal IN the facility
with which they pick up the art of ski
ing. Most of us find ii very fatiguing. as it
uses a new set of muscles. and should not

IN,
The Mosaic law strictly forbade the kill
ing Of a bird that was setting upon eggs or
young, enforcing the prohibition by the
weighty sanction that it may be well with
thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy
days The life even OF a bird is sacred.
The killing of the mother bird and allowing
the young to perish in the nest is a cruelty
deserving misfortune and shortness of days.
Bird protection is one of the purposes
of our society When the psalmist exclaims
in triumph, Our soul Is escaped as a bird
out of the snare of the fowler; the snare
is broken and We are escaped" he shows
that his sympathies are with the birds in
such case, as well as with those who
have shared with him in some great deliy-
erance.
1t was part of the simple life of the
Jews and of their direct contact with com
mon things that cock growing should be
used to designate certain period of the
day.
The care of the mother bird lowering her
young under her wings Is used repeatedly
to set forth Gods care for His people. But
most touchingly the figure comes in in the
lament over Jerusalem In view of its sub
sequent destruction: "Oh. Jerusalem, Jeru-
salem, how often would 1 have gathered
thy children together. even as hen gath
cred her chickens under her wings, and We

Wings signify swiftness. strength, protec-
ton; may this not be the meaning of the

the temple?
