alarming success, a tremendous revival

daily and prostrating themselves before
the placid-faced images that represent
the faith.
Already preparations are being made in
England and this country to combat the
effect of this latest relic of Buddha by
the sending abroad of new corps of mis-

The movement toward the revival Of
Buddhism has reached large proportions
only in China and Japan. In India. where
Buddha lived, there was before the dis

The discovery OF the ashes of the great
leader took place near Peshawur in At

The relics. which have been declared au-
