#005 World Congress of Religious Bound Correspondence, p. 263
June 5th,
His Highness, Sir Jotendro Mohun Tagore, K.C.S.I.-C.I.E.,
Paturiaghatta, Calcutta.
Respected Sir:--
At the suggestion of our mutual friend, Mr. Dharmapala,
Secretary of the Mah-Bodhi Society of Calcutta, I send you a
copy of a book entitled the Chorus of Faith, which is a book of selec-
tions from the proceedings of the great Parliament of Religions
held in our City last September. I beg to call your special
attention to the marked passages on pages 305 and 326 of this
book and as your opinion of the possibility of holding in Benar-
es, in the year 1900, a second World's Parliament of Religions,
patterned after the one held in Chicago in 1893, subject to such
modifications as time, place and experience would necessitate. I
will make no further suggestion in this letter, but if the idea
meets with your approbation and we can count on your co-operation,
I shall be very glad to serve such a purpose in any way you may
suggest. The initiative would have to come from your end of the
line and must be projected by gentlemen of such position and cul-
ture as would command the respect of the Oriental constituency as
well as enlist the co-operation of the Western Brethren.
I also venture to send you by the same post; a copy
of a series of pamphlets on the Great Teachers of Religions,
published by myself, hoping you will accept them with my compli-
ments.
Trusting I may hear from you in due time, I am
Very respectfully yours,
Jenkin Lloyd Jones
