8 S RELIGIONS OF EASTERN ASIA Let me, in closing, quote Mr. Aston's remarks on monotheism in this connection : — "Monotheism was an impossibility in ancient Japan. But we may trace certain tendencies in this direction which are not without interest. A nation may pass from polytheism to monotheism in three ways: firstly, by singling out one deity, and caus- ing him to absorb the functions and the worship of the rest; secondly, by a fresh deification of a wider conception of the universe; and thi...rdly, by the de- throning of the native deities in favor of a single God of foreign origin. It is this last, the most usual fate of polytheisms, which threatens the old gods of Japan. Weakened by the encroachments of Buddhism, and the paralyzing influence of Chinese sceptical philosophy, they already begin to feel ' The rays of Bethlehem blind their dusky eyne.' " ' APPENDICES TO LECTURE II Appendix No. i, P. 65 In his "Shinto," p. 246, Aston says: "In an organ- ized community like the ancient Japanese there must have been many torts recognized by public opinion.
