Undercutting a Nation's
Religious Conceptions
The Portentious Literary Project of Young Men's
Christian Association Men in India; Great
ants Co-operating
(By the Religious Rambler)
WHILE there are great and new
movements in religion afoot in
America, there Is even more
notable work to be reported from Asia,
where Christianity displays an aggres
siveness and certain qualities of states
manship that can scarcely be matched
here In America. The very bigness of
the work confronting Christian leaders
In the Orient seems to call for unusual
qualities of leadership.
The sort of thing the ancient church
councils used to do is reported from
India, where, at the stimulus of cer
tain Y. M. C. A. men, a deliberate,
organized, scientific effort is under
way to undercut the non-Christian
faiths and to commend Christianity to
the people. While it supplements, it is
also the antithesis of the individualistic
work of the ordinary missionary. The
aim pf the present effort is to turn the
mass of the people toward the faith
ol the West.
The new movement, while It ex
presses the mind and has the sym
pathy of all the missionary bodies in
India, owes its leadership to the sa
gacity of the Y. M. C. A., which some
time ago set apart J. N. Farquhar, a
scholarly man, as literary secretary.
Mr. Farquhar spends his summers in
Oxford University, teaching Sanscrit,
and his winters in India, securing
writers and planning literature. Now,
in addition to the strictly Christian and
devotional literature being issued, he
has put under way the first compre
hensive scheme for the popular pres
entation of Indian life and literature
ever devised.
The simple fact that, whereas the
leaders of Indian life have failed to
produce popular literature concerning
their own national ideals and religion,
the Christians are doing so, will do
much to commend the new enterprise
to the people. The three series of
books comprise "The Religious Quest
of India," "The Indian Religious Life"
and "The Heritage of India."
Mr. Farquhar himself tells the story
straightforwardly, the magnitude of
the scheme appearing between the
lines: "Altogether a band of thirty
five authors, consisting of thirty-two
of the most prominent men, both In
dian and European, in missionary
circles in India, three of the greatest
English orientalists, and the leading
art professor in India, are working to
gether. Some sixty volumes of fresh
literature have been planned and forty
of them are now being written. There
are three distinct series of books, all
•meant to offer a scholarly and sympa
thetic Interpretation of Indian
illzation and religion.
" 'The Religious Quest of India'
series w.ll deal with the leading as
pects of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism
and Islam in India. Tn each case a
careful comparison with Christianity
forms a prominent part of the volume.
One Is now tn print, 'lndian Theism,'
by Dr. N. Macnicol, of Poorra. 'The
Indian Religious Life' series, which
may run to twenty volumes, deals
with the sects India. They will
be published by the Association Press
In India at a low figure, in paper.
The first is by the bishop of Madras
and deals with the village deities of
Southern India. Other five volumes
arc being prepared and writers are
being sought for the rest.
" 'The Heritage of India' series of
small books will likely run to fifty
volumes. They are meant to bring to
the ordinary man all that is best in
the ancient iterature, philosophy,
biography, fine art and music of India.
"The first manuscript now ready is
an anthology of Buddhist poetry,
translated Into most graceful English
verse by K. J. Saunders, of the na
tional Y. M. C. A. staff. Other twenty
volumes have been already promised
and are being prepared.
"Professor A. A. Mactlonald, of Ox
ford; A. Berriedale Keith, the most
brilliant young Sanskrltlst in Great
Britain; Professor J. H. Moulton, the
Zoroastrian scholar, and Percy Brown,
principal of the government school of
art, Calcutta, are all writing for this
series. The fact that they are willing
to be associated wtih us proves our
work is reaching a very high standard
of quality.
"Further proof of the way In which
thinking men regard our enterprise is
to be found in this, that we have been
able to mako a regular league with the
Oxford University Press. They are
printing 'The Religious Quest of In
dia' series; and in the case of the
other two series, which are being
printed and published by the Asso
ciation Press in India, they will pub
lish for us in Europe and America.
Each of the three series is being edited
by a pair of missionaries. In the
series of large books Dr. Griswold, of
. Lahore, is joint editor with me."
All this is not unlike the plan
have the school books of new China
written from a Christian, rather than
non-Christian, standpoint. The old na
tions of Asia, newly awake to the West,
are the modern opportunity for con
quests more imperial than Alexander's.
It is stirring to see that, after all, the
Christian Church has the vision and
the- imagination to meet these vast
emergencies. « .
