16 February:
16 Feb 1894 : Newspaper Reports: "Hindoo Philosophy", "Mysteries and
Miracles" and "Bishop Ninde and Kananda" in Detroit Free Press - "It is
an idle dream when all of us will have the same religious views," said
he. "No emotion can be produced except by clashing elements acting upon
the mind. It is the revulsion of change, the new light, the presentation
of the new to the old, that elicits
sensation." ....The Hindu, believe all religions are true, but theirs
antedates all others. Missionaries are never molested by the Hindus.
...Each was right in his way and yet all were needed to form a whole.
Hindu philosophers say "truth to truth, lower truth to higher." It is an
idle dream of those who think that all will at some time think alike,
for that would be the death of religion.
Detroit Journal reports :
If Swami Vive Kananda succeeds in expounding a gospel of peace, of
purity, of self sacrifice and brotherly love; if he succeeds in opening
the blind eyes of bigotry, and in unstopping the deaf ears of the
intolerant, and shows the professed Christian that even a heathen has
some virtues which Christians lack, and more than all if he softens the
strong heart of humanity, which he already seems qualified to do, his
mission among us will not be in vain.
