FROM A MosLEM POINT OF viRy


Islam. u paper published in Paris m
the interest OF Mohammedanism
places the total number OF adherents
Of the Arabian prophet at 2s2, 700 900,
Of which. that publication says, iO2,-
100000 are in Africa; 31OOO,OOO In Ma
layrla; 6O,oO0,OO0 in India. and 9O,OOO,-
COO In China. The other 6SiOO,OOO are
found in the ottoman empire, Persia,
Russia ana other countries
As compared to other religions, Is
lam would accordingly have the great
est number OF followers. The same
publication estimates the Roman Cath
olcs at 100000 900, the Protestants at
from no, 100000 to 10000 900; the Greek
Catholics at 12OOOO,OOO. Hinduism is
said to have 100000 900 adherents, and
shlntoism, the national cult Of Japan,
2O,OOO,OOO
A good deal Of money, the Islam
says, Is spent by Christians" on for
elgn missions, with but meagre results.
From 1882 to 1890. for instance the
"soclete de la Propagation de la Fol"
and the Association de la salnte-En-
fonce" spent S2s,oOO,Ooo francs; the
British missions spent 7Si,OOO0OO from
1860 to 1854, and as a result they have
converted q few African savages. sew
eral outcast Cinnamon, and some Lee
yantines in quest OF a protector.
The Mohammedan mission, on the
contrary is prosperous. The Mussul.
man propaganda, We are told, Is the
most active and energetic OF all, on
account of its religious fraternlties
and It ia the only religion which ex-
tends its sphere OF action through
numerous conversions. In Africa, II is
further stated, there are lOO,O0O.O0O
fetIchists and other polythelsts, and
these viii eventually be converted to
Islam.
The figures given naturally are
drawn as much az possible in favor Of
islam. but 1t is nevertheless interest
ing to note that the religion Of NOLAN.

regarding as stagnant, and decaying,
In very much In evidence In certain
parts OF the world. Should Moham-
mechanism ever produce leaders OF
men, capable OF combining the vast
forces and directing them towards one
object II Is hard TO tell what they
could do. The Islam thinks Il likely
that the very science through which
Christianity has expanded, VIII make
the followers OF the Nazarene as in
different to religion as are the Chinese
now And such indifference cannot
but invite disastrous consequences.
