HINDUS ALARMED AND ASTIR
Spread Of Christianity Threatens
Whole Structure Of Hinduism
With Overthrow.

Hinduism is awakening to the fact
that II the great sub-strata of Hindu
society known as the depressed classes
be raised by Christianity, the whole
structure of Hinduism is theatened
with overthrow. This awakening Is
being followed by efforts in various
parts for the improvement of these
poor people. The latest is move
ment in Ahmedabad. In that city, on
August 20, a meeting was held at
which the attendance of the depressed
classes was encouraged and in which
they were allowed to sit beside caste
people. Resolutions were passed for
the formation Of a Central Hindu asso-
citation, which should have for its OBJ
iects the raising of the depressed
classes and their readmission into
Hinduism after being converts to for
eign faiths. AS to the means to be
adopted for realizing these objects,
the following suggestions were made:
(a) Starting schools. clubs and asso-
Citations; CD establishing preaching
missions; (c) publishing papers,
periodicals, magazines and leaflets;
(d) adopting such other means as may
be conducive to the above objects.

Why Trees Grow LARGE

Washington and oregon have some
OF the largest trees in the world and
the climatic conditions OF that sec

the Puget sound country the rainfall
is about SO inches, while up in the

100 inches, and sometimes reaches
the 150-inch point Under such eli
matte conditions the seeds of the
trees germinate readily and all the
trees continue to make a vigorous

wide range OF predictions which they
comprise. While the circulation Of
these almanacs is more extensive in
Great Britain than in this country, II
is not gratifying to our national pride
TO learn that 100000 copies are pre-.
