27347But if education is to mean the substitution of the gramophone and music- hall songs for this traditional art, these native hymns?
27347But there was-- has the reader ever heard the second-- or is it the third?--overture to"Leonora"?
27347But they may say, some of them, as the Indian will certainly say,"Is that all?
27347But where is our sacred mountain?
27347But will their civilisation be of a kind to invite such reflection?
27347But, really, does anyone-- does any man of business-- think it a better education than Greek?
27347Can the ice be changed into red coal in your hearts?
27347Can we not save him?
27347Come along!--Success?
27347Could I have a bathing costume?
27347Did a host move out to meet the foe?
27347Did a wounded hero fall?
27347Did he see a warrior fall?
27347Did not we discover them?
27347Did not we squat upon them?
27347Divine somehow in its potentialities?
27347Divine to a deeper vision than mine?
27347Do I love God?
27347Do n''t you see?
27347Do you hear it?
27347Do you see it?
27347Drama was it?
27347Faster and faster, louder and louder, more and more intensely, crying and flaming towards-- what?
27347For good or for evil?
27347Forget what?
27347Had the writer, I wonder, ever been in Japan?
27347Had there been anyone?
27347Have I myself known God?
27347Have we not''mixed our labour with them''?"
27347Have you no place for the Eternal and the Infinite?"
27347Have you not observed?
27347He regrets to have missed my visit; will I not return and let him show me the school?
27347He thinks to himself,''Is it possible that the thought of God can make a man forget the world?
27347How can I describe it?
27347How long will it last?
27347How real is it, even now?
27347I reached the hotel; I bowed and smiled to the group of kow- towing girls; but how to tell them that I wanted a bathe and a meal?
27347I wonder?
27347III ULSTER IN INDIA"Are you a Home Ruler?"
27347If detected, will it be prosecuted?
27347If it is illegal, will it be detected?
27347If some other agent is up early, wide- awake and alert, putting in from ten to fifteen hours per day, he is bound to do business, is n''t he?
27347If the Japanese had had white skins, should we ever have heard of the economic argument?
27347In this respect what nation can compete with them?
27347Interesting, is it not?
27347Is East East?
27347Is West West?
27347Is he Buddhist or Taoist?
27347Is he right?
27347Is it Gounod''s"Faust"or an Anglican hymn?
27347Is it courage?
27347Is it family life?
27347Is it honesty?
27347Is it industry?
27347Is it sexual purity?
27347Is not that delightful?
27347Is patriotism the standard?
27347Is there also an East?
27347Is there going to be a melody?"
27347Might not this almost as well have been an address from the headquarters of the Salvation Army?
27347Money?
27347On that point, what Western nation can hold up its head?
27347On the contrary, I was pressed, urged, implored almost with tears in the eye-- to reform them?
27347Once more, what_ do_ the foreigners want?
27347Once more, what_ does_ he want?
27347Or am I wrong?
27347Or opera?
27347Or the wholesale massacre, robbery, and devastation which followed when the siege was relieved?
27347Or what?
27347Or_ is_ it divine?
27347Really, sir, what are we to think?"
27347Sacred to what god?
27347Streams that are voices, what, what do you say?
27347The men were dead, then, too?
27347The one or two children who died in the Legation, and the one or two men who were killed?
27347The question is a large one; but, summarily, where do the Japanese fail, as compared with the Western nations?
27347The real question is, will it pay?
27347This is the shop!--Health?
27347To what result?
27347To what, in fact, are most people on this continent turning theirs?
27347WHY IS IT?
27347Was battle engaged?
27347Was it Homer or Shelley that grasped Reality?
27347Was there a real voice?
27347Was there nothing else?
27347Was this India or Athens?
27347What English agricultural labourer would do as much?
27347What are our resources for evading or defeating the law?
27347What business have I to go about preaching to others?
27347What do they do with it when they get there?"
27347What has happened to religion?
27347What is it?
27347What is the sun?"
27347What is this?
27347What is this?
27347What is this?
27347What manner of man, then, was this Sri Ramakrishna?
27347What matters the form of the struggle, whether it be in arms or commerce, whether the victory go to the sword, or to shoddy, advertisement, and fraud?
27347What messages were they, I wondered, that were passing across the mountains?
27347What now is Sri Ramakrishna''s view of this matter?
27347What of it?
27347What of the honesty of the West?
27347What people are braver?
27347What really makes this difference?
27347What then?
27347What?
27347What_ do_ foreigners want?
27347When men worship the mountain, do they worship a rock, or the spirit of the place, or the spirit that has no place?
27347Where could I change?
27347Where, in all the country, that charming mythology which once in Greece and Italy, as now in China, was the outward expression of the love of nature?
27347Where, outside the East, is found such solidarity as in Japan?
27347Who is more industrious?
27347Why did it spring?
27347Why is it then, that She has bound us hand and foot with the chains of the world?
27347Why then should I reason?
27347Why, in this respect, is America, as undoubtedly she is, so sterile?
27347Why?
27347will it please Theophilus P. Polk or vex Harriman Q. Kunz?
39474But at least you gave them food?
39474But how did they live?
39474But suppose they failed to bring food, what became of the workmen?
39474But surely you paid them wages?
39474Do missionaries do any good?
39474Do you really mean to say,I asked,"that there are tigers here in this valley?"
39474Do you see that strip of woods yonder?
39474Do you see yonder small mountain?
39474Half?
39474Have the English any right in India?
39474Is it not all a farce?
39474Of the first dynasty?
39474You are going to Lucknow?
39474( Did not this suggest to later Roman mythologists the river Styx, and the boatman Charon who conveyed departed souls to the gloomy shades of Pluto?)
39474( Was it here that Pythagoras, who studied in Egypt, obtained his doctrine of the transmigration of souls?)
39474An American poet sings:"What is so rare as a day in June?"
39474And are we not all pilgrims?
39474And how has England used her power?
39474And now of all this magnificence and glory of the ancient capital of Egypt, what remains?
39474And when their working days are over, can they not be cared for as well as the Hindoos care for old horses and camels?
39474And why?
39474Are they like English or American Christians?
39474Are they loyal?
39474As I ride about I ask myself, Am I on the earth, or in the moon?
39474Besides the temptation of such trinkets, who could resist the insinuating manner of the women who brought them?
39474But for young men who are already educated in the government colleges, is there any way of reaching_ them_?
39474But how came all this blood to be shed?
39474But how can I convey to others what is but a picture in my memory?
39474But how could the Khedive propose a change which was a virtual surrender of his own absolute power?
39474But how were we to get back to Saharanpur?

39474But what sort of Christians are they?
39474But what were the gods they adored, and what sort of worship did they render, and how did all this act on the life and character of the people?
39474But when and how?
39474But when was English courage known to fail?
39474But who would have sunshine_ forever_?
39474Can any one estimate the influence of such a man, with his gentle wife at his side, who is also active both in teaching and in every form of charity?
39474Can these things be, and we look on unmoved?
39474Can we wonder that they hesitate to be sacrificed, and beg their government to move slowly?
39474Do we need any other argument for Christian missions?
39474Do we not all belong to that slow moving caravan, that marches steadily across the waste and disappears in the horizon?
39474Does it make men better or worse-- happy or unhappy?
39474Does not this simple statement furnish a perfect defence, and even an imperative demand for their establishment?
39474Does this seem very hard?
39474Egypt is a country with a long past, as we found in going up the Nile; may we not hope, also, with a not inglorious future?

39474Has not England something to answer for?
39474Has there been any change for the better since the great impeacher of Warren Hastings went to his grave?
39474Have I not a right to say that to know men is to love them, not to hate them nor despise them?
39474Help, if it come at all, must come from without, and where else can it come from, but from lands beyond the sea?
39474How are they affected towards the English government?
39474How came they to the happy seats Of everlasting day?
39474How can a people be pure, when their very religion is a fountain of pollution?
39474How has England governed India since that day?
39474How much progress have the Egyptians made in four thousand years?
39474How then are they to be reached?

39474I had read much of"the mild Hindoo"and"the learned Brahmin,"and I asked myself, May not their religion have some elements of good?
39474I have asked many times, What gave the name to the Red Sea?

39474I stand on the bank of the Great River, and ask if it brings not some secret out of the heart of Africa?

39474If such be the heat in January, what must it be in July?
39474If they may fight this battle in England, may we not fight the battle of truth with error and ignorance in Hindostan?
39474If with all these things against them, English skill and courage and discipline triumphed at last, can it ever be put to such a test again?
39474In that day will not nature share in the joy of man''s deliverance?
39474Is it a good or bad faith?
39474Is it not better at least than no religion?
39474Is it not often so in life?
39474Is it purification or expiation, or both?
39474Is it something in the air, that quickens the blood, and reacts upon the brain?
39474Is it strange that God should choose such a vast and silent temple as this for the education of those whom He would set apart for his own service?
39474Is it the putting away of sin by the washing of water; the cleansing of the body for the sins of the soul?
39474Is it too much to believe that there is a great future in store for South Eastern Asia?

39474Is not this a sign of progress, of an era of peace and good will?
39474Is there then any good reason-- any_ raison d''être_--for the establishment of missions in India?
39474It has been one of the problems of physical geographers: What was the_ use_ of deserts in the economy of nature?
39474It has been well said,"We are told that knowledge is power, but who has considered the power of ignorance?"
39474It was very tempting, but what could we do without guides or interpreters?
39474MISSIONS IN INDIA-- DO MISSIONARIES DO ANY GOOD?

39474Might he not have risen in wrath out of his sarcophagus to see these frivolous moderns thus making merry in the place of his sepulture?
39474Needs it any argument to show how impossible is good government under a creed in which there is no recognition of justice and equality?

39474Was there ever such a scene-- men, women, and children, by tens of thousands, in all stages of nakedness, pressing towards the sacred river?
39474We asked why the Regent did not go abroad to see the world?
39474We can only answer these questions by asking another: Who are meant by the people of India?
39474What answer can be made to it?
39474What are all the observatories of Greenwich, and Paris and Pulkowa, to such a rock- built citadel as the Great Pyramid?

39474What impression then could he make outside of the circle of his court?
39474What is the fascination of this religious observance?
