India is full of stories of the immor-

One More DsiIusionment.
At Benares l discovered a grievance
against the stories | used to hear and
read when a youngster in Sunday
school, about these "fakeers," and the
other Hindu pilgrims to the Gauges
cleansing food. l saw thousands of
the latter in a single day. 1t used to
be represented that these men and
women were all so smitten with
sense of their sins, so burdened with
their consciousness of unholiness, that
they performed all their eXacting vows
In order to secure spiritual release,
buI Ou IhS opOI lCll liiC
that the Hindu is as lacking in
sense of sin as | found the Japanese
and the Chinese to be. They know
little or nothing about what the Anglo
Saxon experiences as a consciousness
of personal sin. What these people
are trying to expiate is the dread bur-
den of life itself, and to secure, by
the favor of the innumerable gods in
their pantheon, mitigation of lifes
Ills in the next birth, in the long order
of reincarnations.
Every Hindu's dread is that he may
at death be transmigrated into a lower
caste man, or even into a woman, or
into an ass, a snake, a toad, or some
other loathsome creature. His hope
is that he may be reborn into a
higher caste, possibly a Brahman;
and eventually, in the dreary process
sion of ages, into Niryana; which,
while mystically explained in various
ways, amounts really to the eXtinc-
tion of personal identity. Some of
the holy men even expect to proceed
from this present life into Nirvana
Wash Day on the Ganses.
Therefore all these washings. Early
IN the morning the people Of this old

tian era-and the pilgrims from all

parts or the empire, come down by
thousands to the western bank of the
Gauges in order to battle From in
fants to decrepit old men they dip
into the water and mutter their pray
ers, with an earnestness and sincerity
whichRcannot be doubted. The great
CHATS, or steps down into the water,
are thronged with devotees. Many
carry away the water, for household
use, or to be borne laboriously back
home to the pilgrims native village.
Only the western bank of the Ganges
is efficacious, to die on the eastern
bank is to be reborn an ass. So the
western bank is lined with temples,
CHATS, and palaces, in various stages
of disrepair. There is merit in erect
ing one of these structures, but no
merit in maintaining one after another
man has built it. One huge brown
stone palace especially, wonder of
workmanship, has sat down" in dis.
orderly ruin on the bank.
If ever modern science takes hold
of India, the popularity of Benares
is gone, for this worship of the Ganges
is a thing to give believer in germs
the shudders. People battle and drink
the water, right from the spot where
sewage is seeping through the CHATS.
They are not troubled by the proxim-
ity Of bathers in all stages of disease.
The fact that corpses are soaking in
the stream just above them does not
disturb the worshippers a particle.
The practice Of burning the dead at
Benares is famous. After the body,
wrapped in thin covering, has lain
for time in the Gauges, a rough
funeral pyre, three or four feet high,
is built of logs and sticks bought for
the purpose, and it is consumed with
more or less thoroughness. The parish
dogs thrive by the fact that the job
is not always well done; l saw one
cur gnawing a burnt fragment of a
human body.
l came to Benares prepared to find
much to admire in Hinduism; but

Drink Water.

The Japanese know what is good
for them when they insist on their
women drinking quantities of water
each day. We would hear fewer com
plants of utter fatigue, and needless
assistance from beauty hints If our
women, one and all, would follow the
example of their almond-eyed sis
ters.
No day should pass without at least
a quart of pure water being drunk
better yet two quarts. 1t is wiser,
however, to begin with the smaller
quantity or you may feel yourself
water-logged, and depart from the
good habit altogether.

somehow | cannot get past the dirt
and filthiness of it all. There, for
another example, is one we'll, the most
sacred bit of water in India. This is
a pool, the size of the swimming tank
in an ordinary gymnasium, without
inlet or outlet, filled from the Ganges,
and cleaned out only once year. To
battle in 1t one must pay "a high fee,
as well as buy the flowers, milk, con-
dictionary, sandalwood and other
votive offerings that are poured into
the pool by the bathers. AS result
of all these accumulations, the con-
tents, instead of being merely dirty
water, are a viscous mass, nauseat-
ing even to look upon or to smell.
Yet lettering old women, strong men,
and blooming youth ducked in this
place. l was impressed by a touch
of human sentiment here; a man and
woman went into the pool tied to-
gether, thus hoping to insure that
when they should be born again they
would once more become man and
wife.
nS'S'O' s'oh 10 wv ~ " TTInt'
The endeavor to give a fair repre-
sentation of the conditions in India
amidst which missionaries work, and
against which they must strive, is him
dered by the simple fact that were |
to write plainly what | saw as the
prominent feature of Hindu worship
in Benares this paper would not be
permitted transmission through the
mails. The commonest object of wor-
ship may not even be limited at; while,
so far from writing a description Of
the sculptures on the walls of one
temple, they may not even be recalled
without disgust. 1t is a distinct
ascent to contemplate the sacred
monkeys that fill one temple-more
than 200 of them scampering about
the trees and the courts-or the
sacred cows and bulls that abound
throughout the city. When a wealthy
Brahman dies, bull is turned loose
in the city to wander through the mar
row streets and to pillage undisturbed
from the bazaars. The molten calf
which the backslidden Israelites wor-
shipped is also here, to be purchased
as household god.

Benares, India.-This is holy Hindu
ground. Even if such an outcast as
a European should quit earth on this
most favored spot, he might hope to
be born again as a Hindu. This is the
best place in the world to die, accord
ing to the belief of 207, 146,000 Hindus.
That is why thousands of persons are
yearly brought here for that express
purpose, and wealthy rajahs build
palaces along the river bank in which
to spend their dying days. The sim
pie fact of dwelling in this sacred
city imparts sanctity to one. More
than Mecca is to the Mohammedan,
Benares is to the Hindu.
Obviously, this is the place to study
Hinduism. Obviously, also, Hinduism
here is not the Hinduism Of the Chi
cago parliament of religions-or of
Boston 'parlor meetings. All the
washing that is done in Mother
Ganges" can scarcely make Hinduism
clean enough to be presentable in
good Anglo-Saxon society.
Holiness and Dirt.
The "holiest" Hindu is the dirtiest
He has his face and body completely
smeared with ashes, whereas the or
binary Hindu has only his arms and
breast and forehead SO marked. This
holy mans hair hangs in matted ropes,
uncombed, unwashed and ash-filled.
Although his sanctity is so great that
he is worshipped-I saw the act, more
than once-he is not obliged to bother
about the common moralities which
go along with the western faiths.
