Via imagination, on Thursday
January 5, 1859, the Woman's
Society of Christian Service of
the Chardon Methodist Church,
at the home of Mrs. Hamilton
Bell, Basquin Drive, visited a
Tea Room on an island off the
Malayan Peninsula. Here three
native women and a small girl,
dressed in the apparel of India
and Japan, met with a Method
ist Missionary to have tea.
The native women are Christian
converts representing three maj
or religions of the Middle East.
Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hi
nduism and Buddhism all have
had their birthplace in the Near
East. Mrs. George Urban, Miss
ionary working with Rev. Hook
Hin Chew, inquired about their
former religions in order to bet
ter understand the natives. Mrs.
Herman Pildner told of her rel
igion of Islam. A religion of sub
mission to Gods will and belief
of one God, whom they call ALI
ah. Mohammed is his prophet;
they pray five times a day, plus
other obligatory rituals. Muslims
do recognize Jesus but only as a
prophet. He is called Isa (ee-sah)
The Koran is their book of rel
igion.
The Muslims have 100 prayer
beads on which are printed the
SO names of God. The Tooth bead
is the largest and is blank. God
is supposed to have whispered
this name into the Camel's ear
The Camel is the only one who
knows this name, and that is why
he holds his head SO high Hin
duism, the religion described by
Mrs. Theodore Rogers, is almost
entirely negative to the beliefs
of the MuslimS. The history of
Hinduism is unwritten and str
etches back over some three tho
usand years. Hinduism embrac-
es the belief of many deities, in
stead of one God. The Hindus
have a five level plan of soci-
ETY. called the caste system, At
the bottom of the list are the I'm
touchables and the top are the
Brahms, from which group the
priests are drawn. Untouchibil
ity is now unconstitutional n
Modern India, but the ideas be
hind it are slow to change. Mrs.
Nelson Hoffman, told the story
of how Prince Gautama, founder
of the Buddhist religion, gave ur
all of his wealthy possessions to
seek an answer to the endless
cycles of rebirths and end t h e
suffering which life entails.
Nirvana, or personal extincti-
on, is the achievement desired
by all BuddhiSts. Guatama's Eli
ght fold plan sets down rules Of
conduct. These rules are similar
to some of the Christians Ten
Commandments. One of the thi-
ngs that Budda progibited was
idol worship, but not too long
after his death, many of his
original ideas were distorted and
temples and idols had been set
up.
We see however, that God has
revealed himself in some man
ner to man everywhere. The Chr
istian mission, Ms. Urban expl-
aimed, is to bring the gift that
God has given us. Repentance
and renewal through Jesus, who
was sent by God to seek and
save g rebsiiious people. He as
ks that we do the same In His
