"TnE crescent and the cross have
transferred their immemorial conflict to
the interior Of Africa" says the Waco
Day. "rhe cross is commercial In its
aims, but the old religious fire still
burns In the Moslem breast, and every
soldier who dies In fight with the inf
del goes straight to the Mahometan par
adise. The crescent preceded the cross
to the dark continent and has n strong
hold on every tribe except the most bar
barous, and the soudan is but the gate
way to millions of people who hold to
the faith of Mahomet. This religious
fanaticism will operate strongly to check
European progress in Africa, but the
end must be submission to the higher
civilization"
