The weak and humble admirers of those mighty writers of old, lisp their admiration in little words and point to the effulgent sun of Truth in half-broken, confused essays to express the inexpressible, which can be realised only by experience. Yet these spontaneous efforts of the soul have their human value. Sympathetic, suffering souls listen to the mutilated language, but perceive the whole message behind. They discard the word and understand the idea behind it. It is for such that the JAINA SCRIPTURE GIFT SERIES are meant. The series is a bye-product of the great work that we have undertaken to do of publishing the sacred books of the Jainas through the Central Jaina Publishing house, ARRAH.
We beg to invite our sisters and brothers to refer to us their difficulties in the better understanding of Jainism.
There remains only the pleasing duty to thank our dear Bro. H. Warren, in the blessed order of Lord Mahaviva, for his interesting papers on Jainism-not Atheism and "The Six Dravyas of Jaina Philosophy" with which we open our gift series. We are also thankful to our generous friend Mr. Nagindas A. Adatia, F.L.A.A. of Bombay, who has very kindly supported the present undertaking by a liberal grant.
Any pious ladies or gentlemen, who may want to print and distribute any gift pamphlet in any language will receive the ready co-operation of the PUBLISHING HOUSE, Gift Section. The names of donors of more than 1,000 copies of any pamphlets will be duly published.
