Ame is confectioned from malted millet and is virtually the same as the malt extract of the Occident. This tradition of the golden kite is cherished in Japan. The "Order of the Golden Kite" is the most coveted military distinction. From this incident the place where the battle occurred was called Tabi-no-mura, a name now corrupted into Tomi-no-mura.
You book people say there is no point of contact between Orient and Occident? But there is. Jesus is the point of contact. One real touch of Jesus makes all the world akin. No; that can be put better. One touch of Jesus reveals the kinship that is there between Him and men, and between all men. In Japan it was the Portuguese that first took the Gospel a few hundred years ago.
Fearing he might have some feeling of dissatisfaction, we asked if anything presented had been objectionable to his opinion. He replied, “Not at all! Not at all! It’s all right! It’s all right!” This is the characteristic expression of the Occident—“All right! All right!”
The simple bed on the floor, the straw sandal on the foot, wooden chopsticks in place of knives and forks, the small variety of foods and of cooking utensils, the simple, homespun cotton clothing, the fascinating homes, so small and neat and clean in truth all that pertains to Old Japan finds favor in the eyes of the enthusiastic admirer from the Occident.
But her position being one of high honour, and a source of revenue to her family, the ties which bind her to duty are scarcely less cogent than those vows taken by the priestesses of the antique Occident. Like the priestesses of Delphi, the miko was in ancient times also a divineress a living oracle, uttering the secrets of the future when possessed by the god whom she served.
The real sublimities of the Occident were intellectual only; far steep cold heights of pure knowledge, below whose perpetual snow-line emotional ideals die.
Certain professors claim to have discovered a connecting link between the gypsies of the Occident and the Jats of the Punjab. A boy tending a sacred cow undertakes to drive that worshipful animal out of my way as he sees me come bowling briskly down the road.
The religions of God have been promulgated, the teachings of God have been spread and the law of God founded in the East. The Orient has always been the center of lights. The West has acquired illumination from the East, but in some respects the reflection of the light has been greater in the Occident. This is especially true of Christianity.
The blending of these nations in unity, love and agreement had been impossible, but Christ through divine power established this condition among the children of men. A much greater difficulty confronts us today when we endeavor to establish unity between the Orient and the Occident. Bahá’u’lláh through the power of heaven has brought the East and the West together.
The Western Macedonia must go the way of its Eastern fellow. Like those of the Orient, the problems of the Occident for Europe are twofold a near Western and a far Western question. Ireland, keeper of the seas, constitutes for Europe the near Western question. The freedom of those seas and their opening to all European effort alike on equal terms constitutes the far Western question.
