I am urged to recall to this body the memory of a scene that transpired in Chicago recently. at the religious conference held there. when Mr. Justice Ameer All. in an impassioned address to that vast assemblage upon the beauties. teachings. and faith of Buddhism. exclaimed: "Howmany are there within the sound of my voice who have read the works and teachings of Buddha?" He paused for a reply. and five single hands were raised. Well might he have said. as I will here here say. "Judge not. that ye be not judged." How many of this honorable body of legislators have witnessed. have experienced. and felt the degrading influences of this Mongolian evasion? How many are there that have witnessed the conditions surrounding their existence who can desire to bring our civilization to its level? AhI! but the humanitarian Christian says. "We will educate. we will elevate him to our high moral standard." Human intelligence and modern engineering may turn the course of the broad Mississippi. may cause the waters of Niagara to cease their endless plunging over the falls and gently flow away over plain and valley. but a nation that has scarcely more than turned its first centennial. a religion that has scarcely lived two thousand years. can not combat this ancient empire. can not convert this faith of Confucius that has come down to them through the musty ages of more than five thousand years. unchanged and unchangeabl . from generation to generation. as fixed as the laws of the Medes and Persians. their faith more sublime than ours. for it has stood the crucial test of time immovable.
