Mohammedanism in Africa.

Mr.. M. D. Conway is much impressed with
DR.. Edward Blyden, the Liberian minister to
England, extracts from whose letters on Mo-
hammedanism in Africa have frequently been
published: Mr.. Blyden is native of the
West Indies, well-indeed highly-educated,
and clear and forcible writer. Mohamme-
danism, he says, not only steadily gains
ground in Africa, but has many features
which particularly appeal to the negro tenn
permanent. The Mohammedanism taught the
negroes is of highly rationalized description
Its paradise Is spiritualised, and its hell
freed from physical terrors. Superstition in
Monrovia Is rarely or never found among
converts to Mohammedanism, while it prevails
generally among the converts to christianity.
The christian negro carries his printed prayer
or creed, IN one pocket, and his fetish in the
other, and uses either indifferently, or botn,
as a charm to ward off evil or secure his de.
sired end. DR.. Biyden is himself not Mo-
hammedau, and his testimony to the genera!
superiority of the Moslems who are among
the Africans to the christians is not to be as
cribed to prejudice. He repeated the words
Of an old pagan in his region, who, when
asked by young negro about the true faith,
answered: IF you want to be a good man 20
to the Mohammedans; it you want to be rich
