[Footnote 7:  The Japan Mail of September 30, 1891, in reviewing the progress of religious and philosophic discussion as carried on by the native press of the Empire, says:  “The Buddhist literature of the season shows plainly the extent to which the educated members of the (Buddhist) priesthood are seeking to enlarge their grasp by contact with Western philosophy and religious thought.  We happen to know that a prominent priest of the Shinsu sect is deeply immersed in Comte’s humanitarianism.  In Kyogaku-roushu (a native paper) are published instalments of Spencer’s philosophy.  Another paper, the Hauseikwai, has an article urging the desirability of a general union of all the (Buddhist) sects, such as Colonel Olcott brought about in India between the northern and the southern Buddhists.”]
