for their cherished ideas of
religious and spiritual conviction.
The widest torrent of feeling that ever
cycloned Europe was when PETER THE
HERMIT aroused the great crusades.
The object was notably holy and inspir-
ing-the recovery ofthe SAvIoR's tomb.
And yet so far from this great burst of
zeal and mighty outpouring of chival-
rous hosts having converted the orien-
tai heather, the Mahomedan religion
has increased faster than any other
known to man. There is as much and
as true devotion to the God of the Mos
lem as to that OF the Christian, however
instructed. So with the disciples of
CoNFUCIUs. They remain blind wor-
shippers of their traditional faith and
neither iron-clad turrets, glistening
lines of death dealing infantry, great
artillery, nor yet the pleading voice OF
the persnading missionary can drive
them from their tenets. War only gets
foothold among savages, as we choose
to call them from our standpoint, but
truth constrains the candid mind to con
Tess that the conversion of the world to
Christianity is by no means a
thing Of the immediate future.
The HERALD would not be under
stood as opposing missionary work as
advocated by the pulpit. On the CON
trary, 1t fully endorses the work, mas
much as it calls upon men to give,
which of all acts moro than any other
TENDS to improve mans nature. TO give
TOR good, unYeliish purpose, oleyates
the mind, expands the soul and lnelts
in the flame of generous impulse the
gritty PARTICLES Of the heart-pulp. 1t is
right to give and great good comes of ii
TO the donor. But that any great pro-
/ gress has been made in civilizing what
are termed heather nations, either by
war or subsequent and more gentle
means of the Christian missionary, the
HERALD does not believe. A few indi-
vldual cases-aye many are reported by
the good men and women who attempt
to evangelize, but the great national
superstition of the Buddhist, he Ma
homedan and Monaghan races all re-
main intact and their number of deyo-
tees constantly increasing. Perhaps
the nearest approach to an exception to
this is tho instance Of ST.. PATRICK who
converted the islanders, but this is an
isolated case aud the great fact still re-
mans that if Christianity is spreading,
Paganism is also adding millions to its
benighLed hosts.

THE British government, and in fact
all the other governments of Europe,
receive the appeals made by the Jews
for protection with stolidity and un.
concern really detestable. Every one
knows the jews are inoGensive and un.
combative, attend to their own affairs
and do not interfere with those of 9TH
ers. In civilized Europe and in the de-
Tendencies of the great powers they are
entitled to as full protection as other
citizens. The late outrages perpetrated
upon them in Tangiers is disgrace to
all Europe, and England would reflect
more credit upon herself by giving them
protection instead of engaging in an OF
fort to subdue the tribes in Egypt and
make them and their country subject to
her rule and power.

"Won't somebody give mcapistol? 2"

might have him up for carrying
concealed weapons. Partial order
was finally restored, and the
preacher concluded his sermon to
