They would not like the disturbance, but never- theloss it had to be." This asumption that Buddhism and the other Eastern religions are weeds leaves out of account the opinion of the Chinese and others. If Mr. DARWENT woro attacking weeds in his own garden, his position would be less vulnerable; but he has come to the Chinuman's garden. What would the English how do to the cablage-cultivator who jumped over into bic neighbour's garden, and insisting that the tobacco plants flourishing there were weeda, proceeded to attack them with a hoe, as the Rev. C.E. DARWENT attacks Buddhism and the like? There is not so great n
