२२४ surely nothing can be further from Polytheism than the notion implied in it. It should also be mentioned in this place that the followers of the Vaidant do not admit that God is “the Material cause of the Universe,” but on the contrary, believe “nothing existed before creation but the Supreme Spirit, and that He created every thing out of nothing.” অসন্ধাইদমেক এবাগ্রআসীৎ নানাং কিঞ্চন মিষৎ সটঙ্কত লোকায়ু সৃষ্ট ইতি। “ That the universe is an expansion of the divine substance, that the human Spirit like the divine, is eternal and uncreate, that the knowledge of the True God transforms a created being into the Divine Spirit, that the highest object of religious meditation is to discover that the worshipper is himself God” may be doctrines of Philosophy but are not the tenets of our religion. Qur religion may be truly said to be a relitrion of the heart and understanding. lt at once addresses itself to the minds of all mankind, it knows no forced helief, its whole insluence being directed to purify the active energies of man. It breathes of nothing but devotion and holiness, virtue and happiness, toleration and peace. It has been said, that it is somewhat exclusive in its nature, making a distinction of casts and sex to whoin it is accessible or against w hout it closes its door. 13ut nothing can be further sroin the intentions of the Vaidantic dispensations of Hinduism, which speak to all nations, all casts, all sexes and all ages whatever. Any one who seeks divine knowledge is competent to read of them, understand them and forin his praetice according to them. The instances of Maitleyi and others to which the Reviewer points, are given only as instances to show, that the precepts “; the Vaidant have nothing of exclusiveness in then. If there are not any number of examples of women and Shoudras taught in that system of theolody, that is not the fault of our religion but of the state of society in this Country. The lleviewer affects to consider the present elevated position of most of the nations professing Christanity is a proof of the excellence of that rc. ligion, and would have us believe that the impetus which “its thundering and all powerful voice' first imparted to popularimprovements and female einancipations, was the real cause of the social elevation which l’urope enjoys. But what explanations will he give of the centuries of darkness and ignorance which followed the introduction of the Faith in Christ, of the ages of abhacies and nunneries, when even to think of reading the Bible in any but the original languages was considered sacrelege and when confessions to an Ecclesiastic would expiate the most abominiable sins that a man could be guilty off Surely Christianity had but very little influence in bringing about the present state of things in the West...The monasteries of olden times were perhapsi he focus in which the learning of the Gréeks and Latins, was concentrated and preserved. But it is to , the Philosophy of Bacon and his followers, to the extension of Commerce, to the invention of the Art of Printing and the spread of Education h and other similar causes that Europe owes its present civilization. Christianty, itself is indebted to those very causes for all the seeds of reformation which it has since secured in its boson. As to female emancipation of Europe, it owed its origin, its support, and all its force to the manners of the races of men who composed the chief population of that part of the world at the fall of the Roman Empire, and Christianity had as little hand in it as in promoting the cause of liberty in Great Britain, and other Kingdoms, হিন্দুহিতার্থ বিদ্যালয়ের সংগৃহীত ধন । গত মাসের পত্রিকাতে বিজ্ঞাপিত ধন ৩০৮০৬৷১৫ স্ত্রীযুক্ত হরনাথ মল্লিক .. ... ... ... ... ... ... ১০০ শ্ৰীযুক্ত মহেশচন্দ্র দাস ... ... ... ... ... . ১৭ • শ্ৰীযুক্ত ভবানীপ্রসাদ দত্ত ... o g st o & C) > е е খ্ৰীযুক্ত রামচন্দ্র মিত্র ... ... ... . .
