FOREWORD

Thus India may yet be destined to prepare the way for the reconciliation of Christianity with the modern world by hastening the diffusion among her gifted children of the true Christian religion, that is, the pure and free and universal message of Christ to the heart and mind of man.

This message, as Mr. Chetty is showing in his book, finds its expression, in clear terms, in the philosophy of Swedenborg. May then the leaves of his valuable work, dispersed throughout India as by the mighty wind of another Pentecost, reach the masses of his countrymen and bring them his heart's desire, namely, as he says, "that through this new movement a great religious awakening may arise which will in the end reinspire Indian civilisation with a living faith in God and the spiritual meaning of life."
