Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Four Lectures Delivered in Substance to the Brahmos in Bombay and Poona: In April and July 1875 Gentlemen, - I know that the words which I wish to speak to you ought, properly, and in order to be interesting and impressive, to be addressed extempore. But I am sorry to say that I have not such a command of the English language, in which I prefer to deliver this address, nor over my own ideas and thoughts, as to enable me to deliver an extemporary address. I beg you therefore to pity this my infirmity, and excuse my reading to you what I have prepared to set before you on the present occasion. I also wish to state at the outset for what sort of persons I have prepared this present discourse. There arc many among our countrymen whose minds are so far enlightened by English education that they can no longer believe in the religion in which our forefathers believed. Nor can they accept Christianity as a religion revealed by God; yet they believe in God, in virtue and vice, in a future state, in the duty of worshipping, honouring, and loving God, in the efficacy of prayer. They wish to have a religion and have already framed one, which is called Brahmoism or Theism, and have adopted it. Now I presume that there are many such persons as I have described in the present assembly, and it is for such persons that I have especially prepared ray present discourse; though I hope that by God´s grace it may profit others also who do not profess to belong to the Theistic Society, yet believe more or less in the doctrines of natural religion. Now my object in addressing you these words is to show you, if I can, by God´s blessing, that you arc bound in reason not to stop where you do, but to come on further and embrace Christianity as the true revelation of God.
