DIR. SCUDDER SPEAKS TO women
ON PRINCIPLES Of HINDUISM

The Christian church was well fill
ed with women Monday afternoon
when DR. Doremus Scudder delivered
clear and concise Iscture Oh Hindu
ism - .:...
Hinduism, the religion of India, is
the only one of the great faiths OF
mankanG of which it is true that you
may read number of scholarly
works devoted to It's unfolding and
find them dealing with apparently
totally different themes said DIR.
Scudder. The Hindu religion was
at its best during the Aryan period.
At that time the people knew how TO
build fortresses and towns, they
practiced monogmy, the mistreatment
of widows and orphans was not
known nor was child marriage prae-
ticed Their hymns, dating back more
than a thousand years before Christ,
tell all of this. The Vedoc hymns we're
for many years handed down by word
of mouth and became ritual.
Gradually certain class of men of
meditation, known as priests, came to
administer the ritual.
: AS bouy of priests called Brah-
mans came up sacrifice was intro
duced. 1t was at this time that hui
man sacrifice was first praeticed and
became so popular that the people
finally came TO believe that by making
enough sacrifices they could obtain
superhuman power from the gods
that was otherwise unattainable to
man. So many offerings were made
that the people became sickened with
blood and reform, was inevitable. A
reformer, Gautama by name, did come
with Dand of reforming Brahmans
and their first work was to do away
with human sacrifice.
And so the reforms in the Hindu
ligion went on. 1t seems as though
a reform was hardly completed before
it became necessary to reform some
other phase of the religion. AT the
time the people worshipped female
deities conditions were SO degrading
that another great reform necessarily

TEAL IS RIGHT ON THE JOB

Though the Raymond Teal Musical
Comedy Company is now thing of the
past, as the members of it had to
leave yesterday for the mainland on
very short notice in order to get there
at all, there are enough of the aggre-
cation still here to entertain Carnival
spirited crowdes for quite some time.
Teal still has the Popular theater
under lease and, in order not to dis
appoint the many who expected to
hear his comic stuff for four weeks at
least, he announces the running of a
vaudeville and motion. picture show

Myrtle Jasperson (whio' knows how to

charged, but Teal goes further than
that and adds some amateur talent for
tonight's performances.

founded upon the doctrine of THE

Christianity ".
In his closing words Dr.. Scudder
said. India physically and intellectu-
ally is the home of vast powers, but
! powers unrestrained. The land has
been blessed with plenty and cursed
with the most terrible famines in the
experience of mankind The story
| of India is the dirge of the triumph
Of lawlessness in mind and matter.
Today under the developing progress
of Gods law, Gods law of love re-
yealed in Jesus Christ. India is being
redeemed physically and spiritually,
Famines are slowly decreasing and
when Britain shall have harnessed for
human use all the waters that fall
more bountifully on certain of her
mountains than anywhere else on the
planet the scourges will cease. Mean
time when the men of India come un-
der the rule of the law of Christ the
vast treasures of human energy in
that continent of races will blossom
into richness of unselfish living and
noble thinning, that will astonish
mankind
The history of the Hindu religion
is long, and there are tales of reform
in every era. DR.. Scudder was capable
of speaking on this topic for not only
has he studied the religion but his
cousin. the Reverend E. C.. Scudder.
who passed through Honolulu a short
time ago, has spent many years of his
life among the people of India and
letters from him to DIR. Scudder tell
of the religious struggles that are con-
stantly going on.
The next of the series of lectures
will be given at Davies Memorial Hall
and the Reverend F. B. Williams will
speak on Mohammedanism

selves that democracy cannot live
without religion. Every form of gov
eminent has its own peculiar dangers.
The menace of democracy Is irrev-
erance, which begets selfshness. No
people wholly dominated by material
istic ideals can really fulfill the demo
cratic mission. This new spirit Of
brotherly self-government, and of one
for all, and all for each, is really a
spiritual ideal. The most direct SER
vice that anybody can render the state
is to keep alive the fires Of vital re-
ligion in the community. Kipling
sensed this when he cried to the Brit
ish nation:
Hold We the faith, the faith our
fathers sealed us,
Whoring not with visions, over-wise
and over-stale, ...
Except you pay the Lord, single heart
and single sword, ......
OF your children in their bondage
shall he ask them treble tale"
Principles Before Men.
One trouble with the Jewish exiles
was that they leaned too heavily on
Moses. They regarded him as their
deliverer and responsible leader. Up
on him they imposed all the cares of
the patriarch Did water fail at Re-
phidlm? To Moses they carried their
murmurings. Was Amalek to be
fought? To Moses they looked for de-
liverance. Joshua might lead the
fighting, but it was the uplifting hands
of praying Moses that brought the
victory. Well might Moses cry in
vexation, like mother distracted by
noisy and unreasonable children,
What shall do with this people?"
All this Sinai region, be it remem-
bered, was known ground to Moses.
Here he had grazed the Hocks Of his
father-in-law, Jethro. A touching In
cident Of the present story is the
meeting of Moses with his father-in-
law, his wife and his two sons. A
veil is drawn over the reunion, but we
have a picture Of Moses sitting un-
der the tent, telling to Jethro the
matchless story of how Israel was de-
liyered from Pharoah's thrall. What
privilege to have heard that story
hot from the lips of the principal &C
tor ir 1t! We do not wonder that
