Excerpt from Christ and the Eastern Soul: The Witness of the Oriental Consciousness, to Jesus Christ Mrs. Haskell's idea in founding the Barrows Lec tures in India was a noble one. With broad catholicity Of spirit She recognised the essential truth which is common to all forms Of religious thought, and realised that men are prone to quarrel about diversities rather than to rejoice in the elements Of unity. With this view it seemed to her that the essential Christian doctrines might well be presented to the acute Eastern mind in so unpolemic and yet cogent a form as to win appreciation Of their beauty and power far more than is possible from the customary preaching Of the gospel. The Indian is not a heathen, but is a man Of deep religious life and profound philosophy. He is worthy to be approached by a similar mind. The first course in India was given by the Rev. John Henry Barrows, D.D., in the winter Of 1896 - 97, on the subject, Christianity, the World Religion. The Rev. Dr. A. M. Fairbairn, principal Of Mansfield College, Oxford, gave the second course in the winter Of 1898 99. The title was Religion and the Philosophy Of Religion.
