''The Arya Samaj"
~ On. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. BY. Frank Crans)

The world is knitting together. There
are no more foreign shores nor strange
lands at least in the fields of mind and
spirit. The upheavd In China affects
US. The new movement In Turkey has
its effect in Europe. American democ-
racy penetrates the Old World. What IL
going on in South America, in Australia.
and in Japan influences both the philoso.
ply and the business Of the United
States.
The coming United States Of the
World will perhaps, after all, be . spirit

the mind Of all races, the material basis
of which shall be transportation and
commerce. rather than the result Of any
activity in arms or the pugnacious
dominance Of any one nation.
There is a movement now going for.
ward in India which seems to me to be
of deep significance, not only to the Hin
dus themselves, but, by the rejuvena-
ton of the Hindu ideal, to the whole
world.
1t is called the Arya Samaj, and in it's
relation to Indian religious life it has
been compared to the Protestant Re-
formation in Europe, although it Is far
more radical.
1t is an attempt to redeem the Hindu
mind from the mass of superstition and
empty ritualism that characterizes the
present practice of the Brahmin faith. Its
aim is to turn back the people to that
magnificent religion which once allowed
liberty Of thought. to every human be-
ing"
The ancient religion Of the Vedas Is
known to have been lofty in its ideals.
pure, simple, and spiritual, but, as has
been the fate of most cults, it was in
time degraded into an affair Of temples
and material sacrifices.
The Arya Samaj hanks back to 1.-THE
faith Of the fathers" very much as the
various Christian reformers have cried
back to Christ" It is an effort of
neople's conscience to renew its youth,
z realize its ethnic ideals.
A recent book by Lajpat Raj gives an
admirable account of the Arya Samaj,
and of its founder. Dayananda Saraswati,
whose public ministry lasted about four
teen years, from 1869 until his death in
quarter of million.
The movement appeals to Hindus be-
cause it does not mean conversion to
Christianity nor break with the estab-
lished ideals of national life.
II insists upon life Of active virtue
rather than one of passivity and resigna-
ton. 1t advocates freedom Of thought
and the fullest self-expression for women
as we'll as men. 1t attacks the hard sys-
tenn Of castles and provides for the educa-
ton of the very lowest castles. 1t rescued.
during the famines of 1897 and 1890,
nearly 1000 children for whom 1t built

'Ts it possible" asks reviewer who
called my attention to Lajpat Rails book.
"to reawaken the courage, the spiritual
freedom, the splendid virility, which have
slumbered for so long and so make India
capable OF future which may rival the
magnifcence of her distant past? Only
time can show. An effort to do this has
found part at least Of its expression In
Arya Samaj."

abandoned themselves to these diver
sions, the grayer heads would gather
in more serious conclave. Jesse Purvy

nights, plans of reprisal. According

answer to one vital question. Was
Tamarack held as a feud victim, or
was his arrest legitimate? How to
learn that was the problem. To send

To send o single inquirer was TO de-

held, but at no time SINCE it's signing
had matters been SO freighted with the
menace OF a gathering storm. The
attitude of each faction was that or
several men standing quiet with guns
trained on one another's breasts. Each
hesitated to fire, knowing that to pull
the trigger meant to die himself, yet
fearing that another trigger might at
any moment be drawn. Purvy dared
not have Samson shot out of hand, be-
cause he feared that the Souths would
claim his re in return, yet he feared
to let Samson live On the other hand.
If PurVy fell, no South could balance
his death, except Spicer or Samson.
ANY situation that might put condi-
tions to a moment of issue would
either prove that the truce was being
observed, or open the war-and yet
each faction was guarding against such
an event as too fraught with danger

or force, Lescott must leave, and Sam

Lescott himself realized the situa-
ton in part, as he stood at the door of
the house watching the scene inside.
There was. of course, no round dane

champions contending for the honor
of their sections.
In the group about the door, Lescott
passed a youth with tow-white hair

the earliest to succumb to the tempta-

He was Keeling crafty. and his albinO

The painter paused, and looked
back. The boy was reaching under his
coat with hands that had become
clumsy and unresponsive.

the painter.

small library of carefully picked
books, which the mountaineer eagerly
agreed to devour in the interval.
Lescott consented, however, to re-
main over Saturday, and go to the
dance, since he was curious to observe
what pressure was brought to bear on
the boy. and to have himself a final
word of argument after kinsmen had
spoken.
Saturday morning came after a night
of torrential rain, which had left the
mountains steaming under reek of
fog and pitching clouds.
But. as the morning wore on, the
sun fought its way to view in a scrap

though he could not say just what con

shallow note of merry-making brooded

the surface, but insistently depressing.

CHAPTER VII.

Several soberer men closed around
the boy, and after disarming him, led
him away grumbling and muttering,
while Vile McCager made apologies to
the guest.
"Jimmy's jest a peevish child" he
explained. "A drop or two of Ticker
makes him skittish. / hopes yen look
over hit"
Jimmy's outbreak was interesting TO
Lescott chiefly as an indication of
what might follow. Unwilling to in
troduce discord by his presence, and
involve Samson in quarrels on his ac-
count, he suggested riding back to
Misery, but the boys face clouded at
the suggestion.
EFF they KANT be civil ter my
friends" he said. shortly. they've got
ter account ter me. You stay right
hyar, and I'll stay clost to you. done
come hyar today ter tell EN- that they
mustn't NEEDLE in my business.
A short while later, Vile McCager
invited Samson to come out to the
mil and the boy nodded to Lescott
an invitation to accompany him.
The mill. dating back to pioneer
days, sat by its race with its shaft now
idle 1t looked to Lescott as he APP
preached. like a scrap of landscape
torn from some medieval picture, and
the men about its door seemed medic

thewed and sullen.
All of them who stood waiting were
men of middle age, or beyond A num-
Der were gray-haired. but they were all
of cadet branches. Many of them, like
Vile McCager himself, did not bear
the name of South, ana Samson was
the eldest son of the eldest son.
Samson began old VILE McCager.

duty as spokesman, 'we're all your

There was a moments silence. then
Vile McCager put another question:
Eff we're plumb sot on gettin larnin'

mountings"
Samson laughed derisively.

cany inquired. "Et the mountain won't
