you have committed."[293:19] 30. Jesus taught men to hide their good deeds,[293:20] and confess before the world the sins they had committed.[293:21] 31. "Buddha was described as a superhuman organ of light, to whom a superhuman organ of darkness, Mara or Naga, the Evil Serpent, was opposed."[294:1] 31. Jesus was described as a superhuman organ of light--"the _Sun_ of Righteousness"[294:2]--opposed by "the old Serpent," the Satan, hinderer, or adversary.[294:3] 32. Buddha came, not to destroy, but to fulfill, the law. He delighted in "representing himself as a _mere link_ in a long chain of enlightened teachers."[294:4] 32. Jesus said: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill."[294:5] 33.

From that period, whenever he preached, multitudes of men and women embraced his doctrines."[294:10] 35. During the early part of his career as a teacher, Jesus went to the city of Capernaum, and there delivered a discourse.
