THE WAR
In India especially, but also in Europe and America, there is a growing movement towards the meeting together of men of different religions to solve problems of common interest. writes Sir Francis Younghusband in the Daily Telegraph.
It is natural that such a movement should have greater momentum in India because there the three great religions; Hinduism. Islam and Christianity, meet: and the growing sirength of Indian nationalism brings Indians of every religion into co-operation with Christian missionaries for the solution of social and cultural problems.
What is remarkable is that but since its inauguration in Lon-
