Great Revival Of Buddhism.

der Buddhist" the German organ

count of the revival of this ancient re-

western world the hidden stores of
Buddhism, which soon began to exert
a constantly growing influence on
western thought. having found the
ground prepared by the philosophy Of
Schopenhauer.
This revivification of Buddhist ideas
reacted powerfully on the orient. and
newly founded societies, schools and
newspapers in Buddhist Asia are prov
ing that fresh vigor has found it's way
into the old tree. The revival Is es-

their foes with a certain nobility OF
sentiment by which they were them

finding themselves running short OF
ammunition, detailed number OF
their boys to pick up the British shells
as they fell into the pah with instruc.
tions to extract the fuses before they
exploded. In this they were occasion.
ally successful, and emptying the
shells replenished their stores. The
Maoris thought that the chivalrous
British. Judging from their slacksning
fire. that they were short Of ammupi'
ton. took this means Of supplying
them. On another occasion the Maor:s
refrained from attacking a British de-
tachment until they had diseagaged
themselves from . bog in which they

1t had been thought that the support

keep the elections committee from pass

the supporters has dwindled to such an

not be successful. 1t requires two
