First, it shows that while the Church of Baboo Keshub Chunder Sen is drifting further from Hindooism, the older body is coming nearer to Hindooism, while, at the same time, endeavouring to raise it from idolatry to a philosophy and a monotheistic faith. Secondly, that the younger body in drifting from Hindooism is not drifting any the nearer to Christianity. The forms of worship of both Churches are thoroughly, and at festive times markedly Hindoo in the apparent intensity of the devotion, and in the appeals to the senses by music and flowers. An 'Inquirer from the outside' during this controversy having asked some questions indicating his view of the greater simplicity, solemnity, devotion, charity, and purity of the Gospel of Christ, the National (Adi Soma) Paper replied with some fine instances of Hindoo charity, of honour paid to parents, and much besides; facts which may be freely admitted, while, at the same time, a glimpse into these ancient writings, as into the Koran, is sufficient to show what a marked contrast they present to the New Testament.
