WHAT THE LOCAL WOMEN'S
CLUBS ARE DOING.

An interesting meeting OF the Provi-
dence Mothers club was held in the
Classical High school yesterday after
noon, with the president Mrs. Henry
Fletcher. i'm the chair
The literary program consisted of a fine
paper by Mrs. Edward S. Jackson entitled
Indian Literature" and a finished rendi-
tion of Jean Ingelow's beautiful poem,
Echo and the Ferry"
Mrs. Jackson. I'm beginning. called at
tention TO the fact that the subject, Tn
dian Literature" should be of great in
terest because of the fast that this race
of people were OF near kindred with our
own race. She then divided Indian litera-
ture into four periods. viz Vedic litera-
ture, literature of Buddhism, Sanscrit
literature and Moslem Indian literature.
'''fhe hymns of the Vedic. or first
period" she said, "are the historical and
logical starting point OF the whole Indian
literature There are four collections of
these hymns OF which Rig Neda is the
oldest and most important
THE hymns addressed TO heaven are
the finest in the whole collection, while
those TO Dawn are the most beautiful
Just here Mrs. jackson recited, with
charming effect. a selection from the
vedic hymn TO Dawn" Continuing. she
said: "Buddahs writings are the most
valuable of the Buddhists literature. His
precepts resemble those OF Christ who
lived several thousand years later.
"Sanscrit Is the cultivated language
which developed out of the Vedic. The
Oldest writings in Sanscrit are the two
great epic poems, the Mahabhata and the
Ramayana.
"The drama is the most interesting OF
Indian literature, not only on account OF
its great antiquity, but because OF the
extensive beauty of the Hindoo plays and
their excellence as literary compositions.
There is very little originality of
thought in the literature Of modern India.
IL consists mostly OF limitations and trans
lations Seven centuries of fierce Moham-
medon rule threw the Hindoo intellect
into a deep sleep. Will IL ever awaken
from this sleep or Is the Indian genius
effete?"
In closing her instructive paper, Mrs.
Jackson explained that during the past
800 years western civilization and western
thought have been influencing and work
ing upon the Indian mind. The east and
the west have met! The full force OF the
strife between the old and the new, be-
tween the east and the west can be seen
nowhere better than in the writings OF
India's great novelist. Bankin Chandra
Chalterpee. He is the first creative genius
modern India has produced and the first
clear type OF what the union between the
east and the west may yet produce
Following Mrs. Jackson's paper Mrs.
George Bodwin gave the Echo and the
Ferry TO the great pleasure of her hear
ers.
