satisfied with the teachings Of the
Hindu philosopher concerning life, he

years later he announced his doctrines,

thought of the orient. Accepting the
Hindu theory that the soul passes from

the audience, he held out his right
hand and stood motionless so long that
the stiffness Of death which had settled
down on the audience became almost
unbearable. At last, looking up at the
judge, he said: q

dience, he looked past the judge out of
a window as if gazing upon something
far in the distance, and continued:

and after an appreciable pause, he
turned towards the Judge with such
a look of pathos and suffering on his
face that none who saw it will forget
and said:

Two of the fire walkers, Priest Puhia

white hot stones, around which were
shooting red, snarling tongues of
flames. When they were half way
