the difference in this regard is greater by far than the resemblance. A Christian sins against God, a Hindu sins against himself. The Christian may be punished by God; the Hindu punishes himself (the karma). The latter may say that moral laws are of God, but he means that they are natural laws, the violation of which has the same effect as touching fire.]
[Footnote 19: The lex talionis is in full force in Hindu law, even in the codes of Hinduism; for example, "Vishnu,' V. 19.]
[Footnote 20: Deceit of a foe is no sin in any system. "All is fair in war.")
[Footnote 21: This idea may be carried out in other instances. The bravery of civilization is not the bravado that savages call bravery, and modesty is now a virtue where boasting used to be reckoned as the necessary complement of bravery. As for hospitality in the old sense, it is not now a 'virtue' not to kill a guest.]
[Footnote 22: India's relations with Rome were late and wholly of mercantile character.]
[Footnote 23: It is interesting, as showing incidentally the close connection between Buddhism and Civaism in other than philosophical aspects, that the first Indic grotto-temple mentioned by foreigners (in the third century A.D.) was one which contained a statue of an androgynous (Çivaite) deity (Weber, Indische Skizzen, p. 86, note).]
[Footnote 24: Rosaries are first mentioned in the AV. Pariçista, XLIII. 4. 11 (Leumann, Rosaries).]
[Footnote 25: In Lamaism there is also the tiara-crowned pope, and the transubstantiation theory; the reverence to Virgin and Child, confessions, fasts, purgatory, abbots, cardinals, etc. Compare David's Hibbert Lectures, p. 193.]
