Story of an Emigrant.
Bethlehem is seen at the horizon. A new light is kindled
which shall soon lead the people out of the ancient
darkness to a true and happy condition. And, strange enough,
the youngest of the nations,—America,—is foremost in
missionary work among the oldest, and next to the Americans
are the Scotch, the English, the French, the Germans, the
Belgians; and even good old Sweden has one or two
mission fields there where the results are as yet rather meager;
but in the course of time this work, too, will undoubtedly
bear golden fruits, for just as surely as people and raccs are
to continue, just as surelv shall the simple doctrine which the
^reat Master taught be
spread and accepted
among them all, because
it is the only one by
which the nations can
reach their true destiny.
A remarkable attempt
at reformation in the
spirit of Christianity has
been made in our day by
a native Hindoo, the late
Keshub-Chunder-Sen, the
founder of the societv,
Brahmo Somaj in
Calcutta, whose object was
to introduce the Christian
civilization in all its
better forms. One day I
went to hear a lecture by
this renowned Hindoo
prophet and teacher,
which afforded me one of the most pleasant and instructive
hours in mv life. The great hall contained an audience of
KESHl ll-Cni’NDHK - SEN.
