, luster will fade out all the records OF
modern exploits of so-ealled history OF
| the spiritually ignorant west of our day.
| The might of the mikado is entirely UNI
| like the physical might of all western
monarchs and rulers of the present world.
| 1t is absolutely moral, 1t is psychological,
nay, 1t is spiritual. 1t was this moral
| might which was back of all the achieve
ments in the fields of Manchuria. 1t is
! this moral might which forced all the I'M
heard of success In the Japanese struggle
against Russia. This moral might of the
mikado's men and advisers was mainly
| born of their psychological belief in the
mikado's valiant ancestors and their own.
Furthermore, 1t was tremendously sup
ported by the spirit of the homage which
the Japanese people feel for the sacred
personality OF their king. They know
him to be heavenborn. Westerners may
laugh at the claim, but that laugh is
ridiculously foolish in the face of the
Japanese belief in it, The claim may be
nothing, but the belief in it is everything;
it is not the claim but the belief that
counts. The mikados people believe him
to be a descendant of any ancestor born
of the sun-god, belief fostered and con-
soiidated through countless generations,
1t is born in their blood, it is bred in their
bones. 1t is belief as old as the history
of the world, as old as the solar race of
Hindoo kings of whom the mikado seems
to be a strayed descendant Indeed the
proof appears to- be. indisputable. The
Japanese tradition that their kings are
either born of the sun-mother or the
moon-mother, corresponds entirely to the
Hindoo history of the solar and lunar
races of Rajput kings. Again, King Ram
Chandra, born in the line of the solar
race, was an incarnation of Vishnoo
God. Hence his descendant at the
present day, the maharana of Udaipur,
Is worshiped in India because OF his
divine pedigree If the mikado's ances-
tors were an offshoot of the line of Ram,
as they appear to be according to the
Japanese tradition, the homeage paid to
him by his people is not only deserved
but soul-felt.
And this soul-felt homage is the great
est and most sincere homage in the
world; 1t is an all-surrendering homage
whose force Is spiritual, and this spirit
-ual force cannot fail to fill its object with
It's substance and magnetism. The mi
kado's millions of subjects contemplating
him with such concentrated divine hon.
age have no doubt filled him with the
blessings of its power and illumination
which constitute his might. Where is the
king or the ruler the world over to paral-
lei the example of the mikado? Whether
this Is a true or an exaggerated estl-
mate of the Japanese emperor, time, in
less than a decade, will show; and the
powers and the peoples who, still drunk
with conceit, are now thinking that their
concerted action will any day reduce the
Japanese people and their emperor to
their former position in the scale of ma
tons will find themselves some day
stunned out of their delusion by being
hurled out of all Asia by this mysterious
moral and spiritual might of the mikado.
