Che n1osIeiii Greed.

A German Christian missionary
who has worked for many years
among the Mohammedans says:
Honesty compels every candid
student to acknowledge that the
old view formerly entertained in
Christian circles concerning Mo-
hammedanism, according to which
the teachings of the great Arabian
prophet are nothing but devils
doctrines and dogmas, is altogeth-
er incorrect. In reality, Moham-
mechanism is nothing but a ration
alistic type of Christianity in the
form of most unfortunate state
religion. The times are past when
scolding about the Moslem creed
as the production of the devil will
satisfy, and the struggle against
Islam on these premises is a fail
ure. Practically all of the mission
literature that in the sixteenth,
seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turtles was written against Moham-
mechanism is useless. Ex.

Slept in the Bible all day, he did,

!: STORYETTES. ]:
Fourier Che Prophet.
$4,000

It is said Of Fourier, the social
list, that he had all the qualities of
prophet except vagueness. His
craze for precision spoiled his pre-
dictions for us. The Speaker
quotes Charles Glide, the econo-
mist, as cleverly showing what
Fourier lost by this:
Thus if writing before the adj
vent of railways he had confined
himself to stating that man
would in a single day be able to
start from Marseilles, breakfast in
Lyons and dine in Paris his pre-
vision would have been considered
most remarkable, but since he adds
that the journey will be accom-
plished upon the back of supple
and elastic porter, who will be the
'anti-lion, we roar with laughter.
"Or again if he had said simply
that people would some day be able
to communicate instantaneously
with each other from one end of
the world to the other Fourier
would have been credited with a
rare degree of intellectual fore
sight, but as he thought best to de-
scend to the particular, "A certain
vessel leaving London arrives in
China today; tomorrow the planet
Mars, having been advised of the
arrivals and movements of ships
by the astronomers of Asia, will
transmit the list to the astronomers
of London we again roar with
laughter and forget that he has ar
rived by the fantastic machinery
of the Imagination at the same re.
suits as the telegraph and the tele.
phone. "-Ex.
