their hands, and by the time they were
knee-deep in the stream, they would stop
and empty the basket of flowers into the
water. In this way the river, near the
bank, was covered with the bright yellow
marigolds Walking further into the
stream, the worshipers dipped the water
in their hands sometimes drinking and
sometimes pouring back into the river
Finally they plunged again and again into
the sacred stream.
After the bath, some worshiped the sun,
some engaged for hours in contemplation
and meditation, some prayed, some fed
the river from spoons in which they had
prepared mixtures of flowers, liquids and
perfumes, some took messages on the
banks, some paid the priests to paint their
foreheads with yellow or pink or white
caste marks, some worshiped the holy
men. and many washed and dried their
clothes. Nearly every one in leaving car
ried away a vessel of the holy water or
the sacred Ganges.
Finally we came to a burning CHAT at
the waters edge, where dead bodies were
being burned. We saw several corpses
brought down the steps to the river. The
bodies were carried on stretchers OF bam-
boo poles, the males being covered with
red cloth and the females with white.
The body of a woman was partially dip
ped in the water and then laid on the
bank until wood could be purchased for
the cremation. The body of a man was
slowly dipped in the water, feet foremos',
and then solemnly plunged completely
under for five separate times. Water in
a cup was several times poured upon the
mouth of the corpse. and the body was
left half submerged in the water, the
head resting on the bank After time
wood was purchased by the relatives; the
body was removed a few feet higher on
the banks at suitable level place, and
about the corpse the wood was piled and
the fire started.
Ordinarily a body Is consumed in two
hours and then the ashes are swept into
the Gauges Sometimes corpse is not
entirely cremated and, in that case, the
remains go into the river. 1 hesitate to
record all the facts, but with my own
eyes / saw an unconsumed part of a dead
body floating in the water. On the top
of the remains was a vulture. And all
of this was i'm the river not 20 feet away
from the religious bathers; and this water
was to float for more than a mile, where
people were bathing and drinking.
How offensive, how unsanitary, how
filthy, how repulsive it was!
In times past have been charmed with
many of the beautiful and wise teachings
of the Hindoo philosophy and religion.
but after visiting Benares, and seeing
the awful degradation in the holy city of
the Hindoos, / cannot sympathize with

BENARES, India.-Benares is a strange
city. 1t is a place that one wishes to
see and a place that one wishes to leave.
1t is one of the old cities of the world.
being older even than Rome. 1t is a
wealthy city with over 100000 inhabitants
and many costly buildings But ordina-
rilly the streets are narrow ond filthy;
and for superstition and idolatary the
city has few equals.
Benares is the religious capital of In
Ola. 1t is the mecca of Hindooism; it is
the only city of the Hindoos. Annually
over 100000 pilgrims visit the city, where
the streets, the trees, the temples, the
shrines, the water and nearly everything
is considered holy. TO die in this revered
place is a great privilege. 1t is a gate
or paradise, and even a Mahommedan
or an outcast Christian lucky enough to
die in Benares could not b. denied eternal
bliss. Residence ensures salvation.
death makes salvation doubly sure"
The city is situated on the banks of the
Ganges river, which the Hindoos consider
the most sacred river in the world. To
battle in the holy waters of Mother
Ganges is the highest ambition of million
of the benighted people of India. and for
this purpose the pilgrims, the poor and
the rich, come from every part of the
great empire.
In travelling toward Benares. l no
ticed that our train was composed OF Il
coaches; of these coaches were for
first and second class passengers and s
for third class. AS the train stopped at
the various stations along the way, sew
eral times / got out of the coach and
walked along the entire length of the
train. Every car was packed and prac-
tically all of us were pilgrims to Be
mares, some for worship and some for
curiosity, some to battle in the waters of
the Gauges and some to study the super
stitions of the heather; some hoped, to
gain merit by the pious ablution in the
sacred river, and some hoped to gain in
formation by a first hand study of the
idolatrous practices of the Hindoos. But
whatever our Thoughts or our aims, We
were a happy crowd of pilgrims as we
rode on the train to the holy city of
Benares.
