The Dawn and the Day; Or, The Buddha and the Christ, Part I
Niles, Henry Thayer
Gautama Buddha -- Poetry; Jesus Christ -- Poetry; Religious poetry

and even enter into apologies for a show of affection for his wife, one
of the most elaborate of which Arnold, in the "Light of Asia," puts

than the doctrine of infant damnation is like the teachings of Him who
said: "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not;
for of such is the kingdom of God."
