This doctrine is common to all ancient
faiths and was part Of Christian
doctrine until 533 A. d. Tie Hindus'

Common Stories.
Consider the common stories. Tor
there are certain stones told of the
founders of ull religions, which have
identical outlines.
The divine founder is always born
in some secret place the romantic
birth and finding of Moses by Phar-
aoh's daughter; Shri Krisina was born
in dungeon; the Lord Jesus an0
the Lord Mithra. born in cave. IN
the canOnical accounts the "cave' of
Jesus was changed to stable.
Again, the birth of the founder IL;
always ut the winter sUls,ice and is
always accompanied by marvellous
events. Angels filed the air with their
songs when Mary. the Virgin Mother,
gave birth to the divine Child. Divine
voices chan.ed when Osiris was born
of tho immaculate virgin, and when
Butldlia WAS born.
Likewise, the founders resemble
each other in their deaths, which are
always violent deaths of sacrifice. and
from their deaths they rise triumphant,
ascending into Heaven. Osiris is slain
Truly, as Ralph Waldo Urine says:
The sacred Books. the inspired writ
ings, all come from the same source
God God, speaking through the souls
of those who open themselves that He
may thus speak"
