American Islamic propaganda and conducted by an

So much of the literature Of the Mofammedan re-
ueton has never been translated into English that
American readers may find much novelty In the
pages Of this journal, In which a large mass OF
historical traditional and dOctrnal Information Is TO
be brought to light. There is no reason why this new
venture should not have cheerful welcome. Chris
tianity has been for u long time making Intellectual
efforts to convert Moslems. Meanwhile there are
number of places in this city which Christianity does
not seem to touch and which would be wonderfully
improved by honest acceptance Of almost any new
religion. II Mosem friends can set hold of these
people and lead them to genuine obedience !"
Mosem precepts they will certainly be better than
they are now.
