His decision so disgusted his erstwhile admirers that they turned their back on him with scorn. H£ had surrendered to a lower ideal, they thought. They little knew then what was surging through the mind of their hero of a few days before.

Had he only carried this theory into all the relationships of life, incalculable good would have come to the millions of Asia. But he stopped >>hort, and by the institution of an order of monks condemned multitudes of eager religious souls to a life of mendicancy and unproductivity, and by insisting on celibacy for all earn- est minded seekers after religion struck a severe blow at the home and the position of woman in it.
