Tomorrow night the pulpit at Appleton Chapel will be occupied by Protap Chunder Mozoomdar of Calcutta, who spoke at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago, for the liberal religious thought of his native country. Since the Fair he has been lecturing and preaching in various places in this vicinity, and has always awakened the keenest interest in his hearers. he speaks excellent English so that his thoughts have as free and unhesitating a flow as those of men of our own nationality. Besides the interest which he has aroused by his speaking, he has attracted much attention by his book on the Oriental Christ. Very much new light is often thrown on religious matters by men whose lives have been surrounded by circumstances different from ours and whose points of view we have never known. It will be interesting tomorrow night to see what we as Christians can learn of our own religion from an Oriental character.
