The zeal Of the Wahhabites gave, never.
theless, an impulse To reform In the gen.
eral body of Islam which Is not yet bv
any means extinct. Especially In India
have their views been widely spread by
missionaries, and at one period there was
grave fear OF Wahhabite instruction.
Our author has no doubt that the spirit
Of Wahhabism has Influenced the third re-
form movement Of recent times, 10 wit
by Mohammed ibn Ali es-Senousi, in order
to reform and propagate the faith This
fraternity Is one Of the orders Of dervishes,
but It Is distinguished from it's predecessors
In Its severely puritanic and reforming
character. 1t has taken up the task OF the
Wahhabites. and is trying to solve the same
problem In a somewhat different way. Its
principles are Of the strictest monotheisus:

IL also an important station Of the Senousi
Brotherhood at Mecca. where pilgrims and
Bedouins are initiated into the order in
great numbers. From Mecca these brethren
return to their homes all over the Moslem
world. and the Senousi fraternity is said
to be especially popular in the Malay archi-
pelago. Thus has there sprung up in
Islam an Emporium in impero which has
tremendous qualifications. All the breth-
rem in all the degrees pay blind obedience
to the Head, who tnhabits an inaccessible
oasis In the African desert. There he
works toward his contemplated end. and
the author Of this book has but little doubt
as to what that end will be. What the head

should not be made without qualification.
Undoubtedly an acute self-consciousnees

atty. Tuckerman pointed out that the
first person singular appears on every
page of Channings writings; that MS
opinions are announced rather as truths
than as suggestive Of possibilities. and that
he had the serious. collected air OF one who
had enjoyed special revelation. That these
are facts the author Of the book before US
would not deny. but he explains them by
Channing's complete surrender to the sway
OF his few leading thoughts. 1t was az
intrusted with these that he could not but
Jake himself very seriously. The apparent
egotism was his recognition OF the imper-
>sonal truth. It was the egotism OF the
enlightenment which declares, the words
which ! speak unto you are not mine, but
the Fathers that sent me.
No doubt Claiming had the defects OF
his qualities. A lack Of sympathy was the
concomitant OF his profound absorption
in his personal ideals. He had no use for
men who sailed by other stars than his
He might praise them with his lips. but his
heart was far from them. He might recog-
nize them In set terms, but the emphasis
of his enthusiasm was exclusively placed
upon the words OF his peculiar message
and on his own type OF personality As
Hazlitt noted In his Edinburgh Reuiew
comments on Channing's literary essays,
.the climax OF his IChanning'sl praise OF
Milton was that he was another Claiming
in his main intent; the climax OF his dis
praise Of Napoleon was that he was not

Henry Claiming has directed attention
to the fact that the Fenelon Of the Fenelon
article Is Claiming himself Our author
concurs, but recognizes that the identifica-
ton was a mistake, for in many things
Fenelon was quite different from Claiming
or course. We know much more about
Napoleon now than Claiming did. but this
does not excuse Claiming for rendering
less than justice to the intellectual and
civic genius which placed it's stamp upon
the Code Napoleon. Hazlitt, who has
glorifed Napoleon in four volumes octave.
was naturally exasperated by an essay
which. as Mr.. Chadwick admits. reads
like a slightly altered sermon on tempta-
tons TO the abuse OF power.

One OF the most interesting features Of
Mr.. Chadwick'e book is his discriminating
and Illuminating discussion Of Charming
Il terary, as distinguished from controversial
or horniletic, work. Channing's distinctly
literary output, or what was looked upon
,ts such at the time. was limited to three or
four articles In the Christidn Examiner.
which were published between the years
1925 and 1890. II our author says, three
or four" this Ii because the two articles
on Napoleon really constituted but a
single article published in two parts. There
h no doubt that Chsnning's articles were
great events In Boston when they appeared.
In the Unitarian circle, after the FIRST doubt
had subsidized concerning the propriety
of a clergyman's writing on literary sub
iects. the article on Milton seems to have
been thought superior to Macaulay g essay
on the same topic, which hael appeared q
wear earlier In the Edinburgh Reriew.
Mr.. Chadwick explains the enthusiastic
admiration with which Chanriing's literary
product was received by his coreligionists
and many other Am orleans, by reminding
us that in the country Of tbs blind the one
eyed man is king Wh0n Channing's
articles appeared. there val in the United
States mo such mob Of gentlemen who
write with ease and write extremely well.
AZ we have now. Judged by purely literary
standards, hundreds Of thBe write better
than Claiming" After reading the two
essays together. our author dnds Macaulay's

superior to Channing's,' lsut 1t seems to
him that Channing's leaves q moral after
glow that il more inspiring than Macaulay's
flashing rhetoric. He SUI units. too. that

On the other hand. when We come to the
discussion OF Milton's relie ;ous and ecclesi-
astical opinions, Claiming ls himself again.
Mr.. Chadwick thinks That. in describing
Milton. Claiming uncons biouAly describes
himsslf: He rendered to mankind q far

b perfectly true. as the author says In his
preface, that OF late a deeper interest In
Claiming has been manifested In quarters
whore he had been imperfectly appreciated.
and II h equally true that the significance
of his thought and message has not always
been adequately comprehended, even by
those who have regarded him with respect
and sympathy. We may add that the Lime
bAs come when we can get right perspec-
tive OF the conditions under which took
place the memorable schism between the
Unitarians and the so-called orthodox
members Of the Congregational churches
In New England. It Is especially for the
light thrown upon the latter topic that We
would now direct attention to this book,
though We doubt whether any previous
biographer has brought out 90 clearly the
amiable and admirable aspects Of DR.. Chan

as II exists for Mohammedans at the present
day, our author does not fail to recognize
that. from . temporal point OF view. the
greatest OF the Sultans OF Islam Is the En-
peror of India. Under his rule are many
more Moslems than under any other. Tho
theory Of the Moslem State, however, never
contemplated the possibility Of Moslems

scribe, trend backward, for they look to
the good old days Of early Islam. and aim
TO restore them.
The first Of these retrogressive move
ments is that of tie Wahhsbites, 90 called
from Nj hImmed ibn Add al-Wahhab
(Slave Of The BountifuD, its founder. a
native Of Nejd in central Arabia. who died
A. d. 1887. His aim was to bring Islam
back to It's primitive purity. and to do
away with all the usages and beliefs whit h
had arisen to cloud its absolute mo notheism.

SAVANNAH BOWERS DEFEATED
JACKSONVILLE STARS
In One, Two, Three order Champions Won Match
by a Total of PSI Pins

Savannah's champion bowlers were In
s,ood form last night, and defeated the
Peninsular team by PSI pins. That is the
story of the match game between Geor-
gia and Florida last night on the Yacht
cub alleys. By a score of 173 pins
IN the first game, pins in the second
and 70 in the third, the Florida metrop-
oils stars did not win. 1t was not be-
cause they were not good bow1ers, but
because the boys who lay claim to the
Souths championship were better.
Before a gathering of more than 200
enthusiasts of the game, of which num-
Der fully half were ladies, the star
team of the Forest City plucked palms
of glory from the ENJOYS of the Land
of Flowers to pad the back ground of
their laurel wreaths. The attendance
was enthusiastic when the match be-
gan, not a few Jacksonville hackers
being present, and every good play Of
either side was applauded loudly, When
the first game was finished it was seen
that the boys who wore garlands of
honor on their brows had easily the
best of 1t. and the experts settled back
TO see by "how much" it would be.
The pace of the second game was not
so fast as the first, and the home team
won by only a narrow margin. They
let out more speed in the third game
and cut out a rapid clip for the visit
ors to follow. They followed in good
shape, but were some distance up the

rectly contrary to the policy OF the
matchmaker of the club that any sucn
warrant should be made, for the good
reason that it would furnish too easy
chance for a boxer to take things easy
and draw as much of the purse as the

sent Billy Armstrong in his place.
Armstrong had filed challenge TO
the winner of the bout and was con-
-templaung coming down on ms own

over and go on with the winner IN the
event that Herman Miller, who was
booked to meet the winner, would not
be able to go on. Carey, however,

in putting Falvey on the blacklist, for
he forgot to inform the S. A. G. man
agement of the change, and 1t was not
known that Armstrong was to go on

Philadelphia ship reached the city this
