warned In vain by men who knew India
better than himself that the measure
would lead to disaster.
In order to gain certain minor adj
mintstrative advantages, Lord Curzon
chopped off part Of the historic PROV
ince OF Bengal and created q new
province called Eastern Bengal and
Assam" The educated Hi,idoos bitter
~ opposed this measure and rctaliated
with "SWadeshi' and an anti-English
agitation, which spread SO rapidly that
the Governor of the new province, f1nd-a
Ing himself helpless to oppose it, was
forced to resign. S
Native sentiment is Infatuated by the
ill-treatment of Indians in the Trans
vaal. One reason why Joseph Cham-
berlain waged war on Paul Kruger was
that Hindoos in the Transvaal were
refused the franchise. Today, when
the Transvaal is British property, Him
docs are not even allowed to enter the
country, and those already there have
been thrown into Jail COR refusing to-
submit to the finger-print system of
identification: a system hitherto used
! only for registering criminals. @
But much worse than either of these
complaints is the fact, deprived of all
representation, India is scandalously
! ovcrtaxed in order to support a horde,
of highly paid burcaucrats and big
! army, which is used exclusively I'M
imperial interests, chiefly as "a menace
to Russia and for the fighting of En-s
glands battles in Africa.
Overtaxation is one OF tfc causes Of
lndia's repeated famines, each of which
is worse than the last, ana which cost
4o.ooO,00o lives during the past cen-
tury.
India pays for everything. During
several imperial crises I,.dian native
troops were sent to garrison Malta and
other Mediterranean fortresses in no
wise connected with India The Britt
ish government, nevertheless, forced
India to pay for their support, and
carried the principle SO far that the
cost of entertaining in London tho In.
dian Princes invited to the late Queens
jubilee was charged to the Indian ex-
chequer.
The successes Of the Japanese, once
like themselves, "a despise'l race, are
used in an argument TO serve the
| Hindoos to self sacrifice and devotion.
Another argument daily rsed by the
malcontents is that England allied her
self with Japan merely because she
could no longer hold India alone.
/ With Japanese like Count Okuma
openly declaring that all Asiatics can
count on Japan's help this alliance
takes quite another color ard there is
no doubt that all these factors taken
together promise the Anglo indian bu-s
reaucracy more violent series of POI
litical storms than they nave yet ex-
perienced.

To a vast number religion is of no con-
cern. The religion of those who remain
is a deistic philosophy. 1ndifferentism
is its fundamental principle. Gods
right to impose religious obligations
on men is denied or ignored, Each
man is free to determine for himself
the extent of religious claims upon
him. The formulas of this faith are
vague platitudes about the father
hood of God and the brotherhood Of
man. Only natural virtues are re-
quired, and they are chiefly of Mega
tive character. The supernatural Is not
recognized and Jesus Christ is ignored
And finally the God of which this phil
osophy pictures is a debonair divinity,
who views with equal complacency ev-
cry religious theory which men are
pleased to entertain and every code Of
morality by which men decide to regu-
late their actions.
"The children of Christ live and move
among the devotees Of this system, who
are men and women Of apparent natur-
al goodness and eminent respectability
before the world. They, therefore.
breathe an atmosphere that is infected
by the principles of this seductive phil
osophy, so well calculated to weaken
their faith in the supernatural and to
wean their hearts from the love Of their
crucified King. The ingenuity of Satan
has devised no more powerful plan of
campaign against the reign of Christ.
Never did he contrive a more eff1ca-
cious means of enticing men to enlist
| under his own standard.
with reason, then, is it asserted
that the conditions of our age and our
country mako 1t imperative that the
kingdom of our Saviour among us be
defended by leaders of genius and Of
| valor.' Every loyal subject of Christ's
empire will pray God to give us always
such leaders as He has given to us in
the past; men imbued with the spirit
which animated the Apostles when they
proclaimed the sovereignty Of Jesus
Christ to the proud pagan empire OF
Rome; leaders after the Masters own
heart; Bishops as jealous and devoted
as Charles Borromeo ora Francis de
Sales, as strong ana al brave in assert.
