A German newspaper prints the following
explanation of holy Mohammedan war given
by an emmett Orienralist: ''AI the Mohamme-
dan jurists, from the Shekb-ul-Islam to the
lowest hodja agree that holy war or 'jehad'
can only legally lie proclaimed if there is
reasonable prospect OF its being successful; if
there is no such prospect jehad is unlawful,
as it useessy sacrifices life and property. A
further condition of the lawfuness of a holy
war is that the lawful spiritual head of the race
which goes to war shall join the camp of those
who have proclaimed il; and all the subjects

CLAIMS against individuals"
The Rev T. W. Kenmore, rector of Acle in
England, has been greatly annoyed the past
three years by the advocacy of total abstinence
by his curate, the Rev. j. P. Hardman Re-
Gently the latter had the audacity to join the
order of Good Templars. This act the Rev.
Mr. Kenmore could not stand. He commanded
Mr.. Hardman to give up his membership in
the Good Templars. The curate appealed to
the bishop against the order; but the bishop
rebuked him for disobedience to the rector.
And now Mr.. Hartman has resigned ais Gu
racy.
1t is stated by the London Echo that at
meeting of the Kensington Auxiliary of the
London City Mission recently the remarkable
assertion was made by Mr.. f. A Bevan that
only per cent of Il g workingmen of London
are in the habit of attending any place of wor-
ship, and that there are only $50 city mission
aries engaged in house visitation and in out
door operations all over London.
A little school girl who was called to a wit
ness at an inquest held in birmingham, Eng
land, recently, Knew the Bible by sight, but
said she knew nothing of the New Testament
and had never heard it read. The jury ap-
proved of the coroner's motion not to 60
through ''the abominable ceremony" of swear
ing the girl, and took her evidence without the
oath.
