Tokio, Japan, a picture which is a valuable and exceedingly interesting relic of an old Oriental faith. The picture will probably be hung in one of the rooms at the Divinity School Library. The gift was accompanied by a letter from which the following is quoted: "Allow me to present through you to the library of the Harvard Divinity School, an old temple hanging picture (kakemono) which I have brought from Japan. The picture is very old and the subject depicted is the Buddhist deity, Senju Korannon, here represented as the type of the Almighty Power. I am happy in placing this treasure of the old faith of the far East in the Harvard School library, where it may remind your students of how some of their fellow men have struggled to give form to their consciousness of the mysterious Being upon whom all beings are dependent."
