LECTURE ON INDIA Illustratesi Addr.aa by Roy. J. H. Stainton, Courtice. Given at Rot- ary Club Luncheon. Menibers of Bowmanville Rotary Club had the pleasure of listening to an intensely interesting and edu- cative talk an India-the country, its customns awl religons--given in a most impressive and entertaining style by Rev. J. H. Stainton, B.A., B.D., the popular pastor of Courtice. His address was illutrated with one of the finest set of slides which could be gathered in presenting such a subjeet. Many of the 'views were snap shots taken by Mr. Stainton himself while carrying on Y.M.C.A. work in India for two years during the war. The clofteat attention of his audience was held during bis 50- minute address and many questions were asked the lecturer afterwards pertaining ta bis remarks. If any society or church organiza- tion la looking for a speaker ta give an evening's entertainment of gen- uine plessure and -profit we can strongly recommend Rev. Stainton's illustrated talk on India. 1We cannot bgin t report his ad-I dress in any adequate way but here are a few of the interesting remarks he made: Country and Custoins When we speak of England we speak of a few million of people who speak the English language and ho- lieve in the Christian Creed. But when we speak of India we speak af 300 million of peoiple, who speak many languages, and havea tho- and and one customs, and worship 33 million different Goda, etc. While the British governinent have done many things which they ought flot ta have done and loft un- dane many things which they ought ta have done, yet they preserve th'e balance of power in India--chiefiy between the Mohammedans and the Hindus. They have buiît up <>ne of the best railway systems in the world-established national granar- ies ta prevent famine, etc. Religions There are 6 great Religions in India. Mohanunedaniam, Christ- ianity, Jainiani, Buddhism, Hîndu- ism, Zoroastrianisin. The Zoroastrians migrated into In- dia during the Mohammedan invas- ion about 1000 years ago. Tbey are fire worshippers, ,that la fire is the symbol of that inysteriaus transfor- mation of the material dinto the im- material ,also the symbal of purity. They neither hurn nor bury their' dead but they place them in the tow- ers of silence and the bodies are esten by the vultures. They are highly educated and every child whether rîch or poor ia educated for the one thing for whiah lho is beat fitted. Zoroaster was a good reliig- îoua leader who lived in the aixth century B. C. and devised the great dualistic philosphy-go»od and evil, God and the Devil, light and dark- nesa, odd and even, etc. Mohamnmedaniani developed in Ini- dia between the twelfth and aixteen- th century. Mohiaimed was a son ai the desert born in albout 570 A.D. and being forced ta defend himself an accaunt of his manotheistic faith ho toak up the sword and spread their religion ini the west as far as Spain, in the north as far as Ger- many, including the Balkan States, in the East sas far as Persa and south te the lIndus ri'ver.
