FOREWORD

           In the following pages there is naturally much which, having been written at different times and in widely different Lands, if judged by our own times and standard, might be relegated to the Incre­dible, or even the Impossible.

           I have, therefore, divided the Subject into Two Parts—the first dealing with the Comparative History of the first Seven Centuries of our Era, and the second with the Allegorical Teaching from earliest times in East and West.

             The Supreme underlying Fact is that the best Minds and the most devout Souls in all Lands and in all Ages, ran on similar lines and were actuated by similar Ideas and Motives.

            This fact, which no Missionary nor earnest Student of the World-Religion can afford to ignore, must be reckoned with and accounted for ill the Evolution of Religious Thought, and in harmony with the Pro­vidential Order of the World.

Tokyo, November, 1911.
