4 THE HIMALAYAS. 5674start a, centre in the Himalayas and, perhaps, I have sufficrjntlyexplained myself why it should be so, why, awoveall, this is tke spot which I want to selecfr^s^ one of thegreat centres to teach this universal religion. These mountains ar*eassociated with the best memories of our race, ifthese Himalayas are taken away from the history of religteusIn5ia, there will be very little left behind. Here,therefore, must be one of those centres, not merely ofactivity, but more of calmness, of meditation,*and of peace,and ]^,hope some day to realise it.
