CHRIST vs KRISHNA - RE-READING SAKES M. M. NINAN It is true that Hindoo chronology claims for Hindooism an origin dating many centuries before the time of the Jewish dispersion, but intelligent, impartial enquiry in these matter of fact times, refuses to concede a large proportion of those demands, which are opposed to reason, and are entirely unsupported by collateral evidence. After all that has been urged by learned skepticism against Biblical chronology, it has signally failed (notwithstanding loud assumption and boisterous but unfounded argument) to prove this world a year older so far as it is connected with the history of the human race* than the book of Genesis declares it to be. Following on the light communicated by the early Jewish settlers, came the brighter and more glorious light of that reformation, which was kindled in Bethlehem's manger, and culminated in noon-day splendor on the cross of Calvary. In this case, too, dispersion was the instrument employed. The early Christians wore persecuted from city to city, and were compelled, in order to enjoy liberty of conscience, to flee to remote regions. Their wanderings, like that of the star which lit the wise men of the east until they reached the manger King, brought light and knowledge to those with whom they sojourned, and eastern lands, prepared by the light already received, welcomed them gladly. So that the wanderings of the despised Nazarenes, either as persecuted refugees, or marching in the ranks of the Roman army, were made a blessing to distant peoples. But, perhaps, to that active spirit of propagandism which characterized Christianity so notably, more than to any other means, did India owe the light of Christianity which she undoubtedly received in bygone days. The apostle of the Nazarene was wonderful travelers. Only a glimpse of their all-devouring zeal, and wonderful capacity for endurance and labour, is given us in the book which records some of their acts. 34
CHRIST vs KRISHNA - RE-READING SAKES M. M. NINAN Burning with devotion to the Founder of the new dispensation, they counted not their lives dear unto them, but went about telling the wonderful story of the Cross. Western lands, remote as Britain, were visited by some of them, and legends exist of the visit of one of them to India. Saint Thomas's Mount, in Southern India, has a tradition connected with it and national traditions, when viewed as the embodiment of some great past truth, cannot be ignored in the visit of that once faithless, but afterwards believing and earnest apostle, who in imitation of his Great Master preached to thousands for many days from the mountain side; while, to this day at Mylupur, a village not far distant from St, Thomas's Mount, the apostle is said to have suffered martyrdom.
