A Hindu’s View

IN an article in the Congregationalist, Dr. Robert A. Hume speaks of the influence of Christ on the Oriental mind as revealed in the utterances of non-Christians. He gives a number of instances to prove the extent of that influence, and the ability of the Oriental to grasp the vital principles of the gospel. The following is an instance of that kind:—
In a recent conversation with one of the most influential Hindu gentlemen in the whole country [India], he said to me: “You Christians think that Jesus Christ reveals the love of God far more than any other religious teacher. For myself that is not his supreme revelation. But when I read in the New Testament—as I often do—about the death of Jesus on the cross, the thing that most impresses me is that Jesus Christ reveals supremely the suffering of God for the sins of men.”
It would be difficult for the Christian himself to express the import of that sacrifice in clearer terms.
