Since the men are immortal the
wife must obey her husband i'm
plicitly. She must rise first ant
prepare the meal and when the hus
band appears bow before him plac
ing her head on his feet and wor
shipping him. Never eating with
him or expecting any word Of en-
couragement. When he returns from
his work she brings water and battles
his dusty feet. and then drinks some
OF the water, Being herself unholy
the water from his sacred feet sane
titles and cleanses her. American
disciples of Hinduism will please
take notice what delightful expert
ences await them when they have
sufficiently progressed in the occult
lore which is fascinating them with
its philosophic mysticism.

ried to god. II the former is pur.
gatory, the latter Is hell. Just one
horrible view Of the coils Of this
Shiny snake that Is throttling the life
of Indian girlhood. Just one glimpse
behind the scenes in Hindu temple
at the writhing form Of an innocent
little girl held by force upon the ALTA
OF lust until scared with the devils
hottest branding iron. Surely no
sane American woman can look upon
this scene and then become the sense
less dupe of an Indian Swami. A
missionary has after much patient ef-
fort won a little child's confidence
and the consent of the parents to
have her taught in the mission
school. She is an apt pupil timid,
trustful, obedient, loving. Months
pass and her unfolding beauty be-
comes her deadly peril. One day she
comes to bid her teacher goodbye.
They weep together at the parting.
The next evening q man with face OF
evil cunning leads her away from
the village. She looks back with a
timid smile and with her free hand
waves a goodbye to her only frieno
on Gods green earth and she power
less to save her. Her parents have
sold her and she Is being taken to
be married to the god in nearby
heather temple. Surely II ever a
heart breaks 1t must
break now as she sees her fair child
into whose eyes was dawning the
love of Christ, led away to be tied
to heather altar with the cruelest
ropes which satan ever twisted In
deepest hell. There Is no remedy,
nothing she can do. Dedicated TO
The god OF lust this precious child
FOR whom Christ died must meet the
hot embrace Of all who worship at
that shrine until her tortured body
wastes away in the fires of a Twins
hell on earth. She is but one of hun
1reds OF thousands who must pay
he penalty of heathenism while
American Christians trifle with the
great commission OF their lord and
American society women give pink
.eas in honor of swarthy skinned
swamis from India.
Pundita Ramabai, educated and
cultured Christian woman OF India,
gives this interesting summary or
what she terms midas Philosophy or
1t sounds strangely
Was 1t in this land and
lay or In some previous incarnation
hat we heard it? According to the
indian philosophy. the whole universe
s nothing but falsehood. You are to-
,hink that 1t does not exist. Every
hing that you see Is falsehood. The
birds and the beasts that you see DO
Tot exist. You do not exist. l DO
lot exist. When you realize that
7ou have no personality whatever,
hat you have no life, no knowledge,
hen you have attained the highest
perfection which Is called 'yoga.
You are now liberated from the thing
II sense and become god, like him
without personality. Life is thus re-
luced to nothingness as the goal OF
III existence. Zero plus zero, min
is zero, times zero, divided by zero,
squalls zero. Life Is this. nothing
