THE JAINA GAZETTE
Jains, Orientals and Occidentals have always encouraged us by appreciating what service we have been able to do. It is not possible to reproduce here the numerous impressions about our service sent to us from time to tinie. We shall give here for the information of our readers only the opinion of Dr. Hermann Jacobi, who has devoted nearly fifty years for the study of Jainism, who has done immortal service to the cause of Jain Literature in Europe and who is perhaps the greatest living authority on Jainism in the West. In his latest letter to us he says: "For many years, nearly from the beginning of its appearance, I have received and read the numbers of the Gazette, and always found in any of them something to interest or instruct me. I can imagine that the Gazette has been of immense service to the Jaina Community in furthering their interests in many ways, and may, therefore, give expression to the hope entertained by all your readers that it will continue for a long space of time to produce those happy results for which it had been founded." We thank the revered Doctor for his kind appreciation of our little service.
We owe our present position to our subscribers and contributors and we offer our sincere thanks to one and all of them for the help that they have been giving us from the beginning. We hope that they will continue to do so in the future also.
