To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There are many Christians who sup- pose the saying : " Heaven and earth shall pass 1.-^ THE RELIGIOUS SENTIMENT. away, but My Words shall not pass away," has reference to the words of the Old and New Testament. *' What shall remain tons," asked Ananda, the disciple of Buddha, "when thou sh;ilt have gone hence into Nirvana ? " " My Word {(Iharma),'* repUed the Master. Names thus came to be as holy as the objects to which they referred. So sacred was that of Jehovah to the IsraeUtes that its orig...inal sound was finally lost. Such views are consistent enough to the Buddhist, who, assuming all existence to be but imaginary, justly infers that the name is full as much as the object. The science of mythology has made long strides in the last half centiuy. It has left far be- hind it the old euphemeristic view that the myth L^ a distorted historical tradition, as well as the theories not long since in vogue, that it was a system of natural philosophy, a de^dce of shrewd rulers, or as Bacon thought, a series of " instruct- ive fables." The primitive form of the myth is now recognized to be made up from the notions which man gains of the manifestations of force in external nature, in their supposed relations to himself.
