Of the most anxious days of the Peace
Conference with all eyes turned towards
Rome. While work proceeded on the
final DETAILS Of the treaty before the
meeting with the German Delegates at
Versailles, yet the absorbing topic every-
where was the Italian issue and the effect
1t had in store for the Conference. Brief
information reaching official quarters
during the day showed the situation at
Rome to be very tense with anti-Ameri-
can sentiment running high. The de.
parture Of Baron Sonnino and Signor
Salandra at two O'Clock this afternoon
for Rome took the last of Italy's Pleni-
potentiaries from the scene of o
t%latlons, leaving only subordinates with
out power of action. la the meantime it
can be stated that President Wilson's

it is above their low moral standard.
81 Sir Monier Monier-Williams, the
famous Sanskrit scholar, says: "It
is strange phenomenon of our days
that even the educated, who call
themselves Christians, are only too
easily inclined to go into ecstacies over
Buddhist teaching. One feels at
tracted by the sparkling pearls, which
the admirers of Buddhism picked out
diligently from its moral precepts. 1t
is worthy of notice that only such
sentences are shown up; but very
wisely they keep secret all dark
points, all lowness and contradictory
repetitions, not to speak of testi-
monies of the deepest corruption,
which crop up from the whited sur
face, the respective commands and
prohibitions in the disciplinary
treatises, with which no Christian
would like to sully his lips
(Cf. Stimmen aus Maria-Laach.
Vol. AZ, p. 269.)
~ The pessimistic philosopher,
Edward Won Hartmann Ct 1906),
writes: "Indifferentism has lulled to
sleep the nations converted to Bud
dhism like a daily dose of narcotic
opium; it has broken quietistically
their energy, and through it's con-
tempt of science, art and material
progress, it has paralyzed every want
of a higher culture. 1t has drained
the sound instinct of this people; it
has eliminated them from the living
processes of history; it has held them
by force in a dreaming ignorance and
thereby has planted the infallible
germ of decay of the religious life
s(Das religioese Bewusstsein de1
Menschheit-The Religious Conscious
ness of Humanity. p. 347-36D.
Hence the opposite of Christianity
which means progress in every way.
50 The Japanese Buddhistic paper
"Kjokuai Dshidshi' writes: Bud
dhism surpasses Christianity in mum
bers Tin Japan. But if one looks al
the practical activity, the scales turn
in favor of Christianity. The general
hatred of Christianity is disappearing
and the opinion gains ground that the
Christian faith is best adapted to the
new situation. One feels more ane
more that the Buddhist morals and
customs contradict the social inter
ests Of society The Buddhist priests
are often the object of public
| mockery. The war correspondents

complain very much about the
ignorance and laziness Of their col
leagues by which they become the
laughing stock in the eyes of the sol
diers.-On the contrary, the quarters
of the Christians were for the soldiers
real paradise. Although the Hong
andsh, the greatest Buddhist sect,
expended 100000 yens for their work
in the field and the Christians con-
siderably less, still the work of the
latter was more successful, SO that it
even reached the ear of the Mikado.'
1t is an interesting but sad phenom-
enon: In Europe they praise and ad-
mire Buddhism and in the Orient, its
own home, it loses in estimation. But
distance lends enchantment to the
view, and familiarity breeds contempt.
With Christianity the contrary is
true,

Outside the Church of Rome no rec.
ognized authority is found strong
enough either to maintain or enforce
unity in doctrinal and legislative
power. No unity of government and
oneness of teaching can exist without
a reliable authority. Professionalism,
fiattering human pride and yielding
to human inclinations, rejects the
Christ-given authority of the Church
which always defined the tenets OF
Christian faith from the beginning
Without her authoritative interpreta.
