SyGIVILI^riON I —by DR. WILL DURANT
mHE thug, like a Christian, kills unbelievers as an act of piety to lay up treasures for himself in heaven. The yogi sits in motionless contemplation, seeking to And Brahma in his navel. The fakir may be only a nomad beggar, extorting food and favors under threat of a blasting curse; or he may be a sincere ascetic, torturing himself to mortify the flesh and please the gods, clenching the hands till the nails pass through the palms, keeping arms or face raised till the muscles atrophy, contorting himself incredibly, lying on a bed of nails, eating offal, letting himself be roasted alive —consider what scorn of life must come from this feverish climate to stir in the soul such hostility to the flesh! If the Hindus had remained unanimously slaves to this animistic creed, this stupefying ritual, this insane asceticism and stagnant superstittion, they would deserve short shrift in a survey of civilization. But while they were sowing the seeds of a score of supernatural religions that were destined to sweep over every continent, they were also finding perilous pathways in speculation and morals. Strangely enough, it was in the sixth century, when Confucius was inventing wisdom in China, and Thales was fathering philosophy in Greece, that the Hindus experienced a great awakening of spiritual life, a maturing of their intellectual infancy. The soul of India revolted against mere ceremony and mere belief; Mahavina founded the Jain sect to practice a more sincere asceticism; and sceptical thinkers appeared, like the Sophists in Greece (and like them “Wanderers”), who held that life and thought were mechanical and the spirit only a word. It was amid this vivid conflict of asceticism and free thought that Buddah appeared, to reconcile their half-truths and express for his age the highest reaches of the Hindu mind. In this forest of impure and barbaric faiths the purest and gentlest of all religions was born.
ENJOYS THE BEST OF HEALTH SINCE SHE GOT KONJOLA The New Medicine Did More Than This Indianapolis Lady Ever Expected. “I have tremendous faith in Konjola now, because this medicine has done more in my case than was ever claimed for it, and today I enjoy the best of health without a sign of my troubles returning,” said Mrs. Estella Mescall, well-known Indian-

apolis lady, living at 920 Daley St., this city, while talking just a few days ago with The Konjola Man at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., where large crowds are calling throughout each day to hear his personal explanation of this new Konjola medicine. “I had a very bad case of kidney trouble,” continued Mrs. Mescall. “I was subject to rising six and eight times a night. My back: was very painful at all times. I was losing sleep at night and became dreadfully rundown. Then I developed neuritis pains over my body, and suffered the worst miseries I believe any one could endure. My general health was certainly in a bad condition. “Nothing wodld help me, and when I decided to give Konjola a trial I didn’t have the least faith in this medicine. I expected it to turn out like everything else, but it was entirely different. The first bottle brought good results, and I continued with two more. Now I don't have a single neuritis pain in my body, and haven’t had for several weeks. My back is never sore and achy like it used to be, and I can sleep perfectly from the time I go to bed until I get up the next morning. The trouble of night rising is a thing of the past. Konjola has also helped me in a great many other ways. I have a good appetite and can eat anything I want. This is something I couldn’t do before. I feel better in the mornings instead of being weak and full of aches and pains like I used to. “Yes, Konjola certainly was a surprise to me, and I want to say once more that I have termendous faith in this medicine because I know what it will do.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the local public and introdusing and explaining the merits oi this remedy. Konjola is being sold by every Hook drug store in this city, and the best druggists of all nearby towns.—Advertisement.
r-—]UDDHA was no .more his I R name than Christ was the I | name of Jesus; it was the tine given him by his disciples to express their belief that he was one of the many aviators of a god or saint who periodically took flesh among the Hindus to bring them salvation. From the very moment of his birth (in Nepal 563 B. C.) legend claimed him and embroidered his simple life with tales as multiple and marvelous as the' fanciful figures that adorn the Hindu temples. It is impossible to sift the facts from the myths. Let us regale ourselves with the story and trust individual wisdom to see, behind the legend, the profound philosophy which it represents. For here in the story of Buddha (of whose existence, even, we can not now be sure) India offers us its most considered and most characteristic lesson. Queen Mabamaya bearing the Boddhisatta for ten months like oil in a bowl (says the holy book Nidanaykatha), when her time was come, desired to go to her relatives’ house, and addressed King Suddhodana: “I wish, O King, to go to Devadaha, the city of my family.” The King approved, and caused the road from Kapilavatthu to Devadaha to be made smooth and adorned with vessels filled with plantains, flags and banners, and seating her in a golden palanquin borne by a thousand courtiers sent her with a great retinue. Between the two cities and belonging to the inhabitants of both is a pleasure grove of sal-trees named the Lumbini grove. At that time from the roots to the tips of the branches it was one mass of flowers, and from within the branches and flowers hosts of bees of the five colors and various flocks of birds sported, singing sweetly. When the Queen saw it, a desire to sport in the grove arose. The courtieres brought the Queen and entered the grove. She went to the foot of the great sal-tree, and desired to seize a branch. The branch, like the tip of a subtle reed, bent down and came within reach of her hands. Stretching out her hand she seized the branch. Thereupon she was shaken with the throes of birth. So the multitude set up a curtain for her and retired. Holding the branch, and even while standing, she was delivered. At that moment the four-pure-minded Mahabrahmas came with a golden net, and therewith receiving the Boddhisatta, set him before his mother and said, “Rejoice, O Queen, a mighty son has been born to thee.” And as other beings when born came forth stained with impure matter, not so the Boddhisatta. But the Boddhisatta, like a preacher of the doctrine.. .like a man descending stairs, stretched out his two hands and feet, and standing unsoiled and unstained by any impurity, shining like s jewel laid on Benares cloth, descended from his mother. * U tt SHE story proceeds to tell of Buddha’s youth as a happy prince, how he dwelt in his three palaces “like a god,” and how forty thousand dancing girls entertained him. When he grew up five hundred ladies were sent him that he might choose one as his wife. He married, became a happy father and lived in wealth and peace. But then one day he went forth into the streets of the people, and saw an old man, and another day a sick man, and on another day a

That’s exactly what you do when you give her a New Hoover. No other gift you could possibly plan, will give her as much freedom—so much cause to be thankful. In this amazing machine, and in it alone, is embodied the revolutionary principle of POSITIVE AGITATION —the necessary, third process in rut cleaning—.loosening the ground-in grit, so that suction and sweeping may dispose of it. \ Positive Agitation enables this New Hoover to remove more than twice as much dirt from a rug, in the ordinary cleaning time, as even former Hoovers.

dead man. He himself tells the story: “Then, O monks, did I, endowed with such majesty and such excessive delicacy, think thus: ‘An ignorant, ordinary person, who is himself subject to old age, not beyond the sphere of old age, on seeing an old man is troubled, ashamed and disgusted, extending the thought to himself. “I, too, am subject to old age, and should I, who am subject to old age, not beyond the sphere of old age, on seeing an old man, be troubled, ashamed and disgusted?’ This seemed to me not fitting. As I thus reflected, all the elation in youth utterly disappeared. . , . “Thus, O monks, before my enlightenment, being myself subject to birth, I sought out the nature of birth; being subject to old age, I sought out the nature of old age, of sickness, or sorrow, of impurity. “Then I thought, ‘What if I, being myself subject to birth, were to seek out the nature of birth, and having seen the wretchedness of the nature of birth, were to seek out the unborn, the supreme peace of Nirvana?’ ” Death is the origin of all religions; and perhaps if there had been no death there would have been no gods. To Buddha these sights ware the beginning of “enlightenment.” He resolved to leave his wife and his newborn son, and become an ascetic in the desert. In the dark of the morning he rode out of the city on his horse Kanthaka, with his charioter Channa hanging to the tail. Then Mara, prince of evil, came and tempted him, offering him great empires; but he refused and went on", crossing a great river with one leap. mm* E do not know where he went; yJ but we are told that for six , years he'lived the life of a lonely ascetic, trying the Yogi’s way. “Then I thought, what if I now set my teeth, press my tongue to my palate, and restrain, crush and burn out my mind with my mind. (I did so.) And sweat flowed from my armpits. Just as if a strong man were to seize a weaker man by the head or shoulder so did I set my teeth “Then I thought, what if I now practice trance without breathing. So I restrained breathing in and out from mouth and nose. And as I did so there was a violent sound of winds issuing from my ears..., "Just as if a strong man were to crush one’s head with the point of a sword, even so did violent winds disturb my head... .Then I thought, what if I were to take food only in small amounts, as much as my hollowed palm would hold, juices of beans, vetches, chick-peas, or pulse. (He did so.) “My body became extremely lean The mark of my seat was like a camel’s faotprint N through the little food.” Mara came many times now and tempted him, but Buddha would not yield. Mara sent his beautiful daughters to cast their witchery over him; but Buddha took refuge frem their charms in his knowledge of anatomy: “Having seen Craving, Aversion, and Lust, No desire had I for the pleasure of love; That body filled with wine and dung s. Even with my foot I did not wish to touch.” And so Buddha grew in sombre saintliness, and disciples gathered about him and followed his austerities. Copyright, IM7, by Will Durant) To Be Continued
