slight resemblance in language are be-
lieved to be allied to the races Of Hin
dustan.
The religion professed by the So
malis-that is to say, the most fanat-
ical type Of Islam-has the effect Of
keeping them engaged in constant war
fare with their neighbors, the Abys-
sinians. who profess what is probably
the lowest class of Christianity In
deed. one of the most cherished objects
of the Sonali and. in fact. of all the
warlike Mohammedan tribes of that
portion Of Africa, has been to prevent
Abyssinia from securing or retaining
possession of a seaport on the north
east coast Of the Dark Continent
This is due to an ancient Mohamme-
dan prophecy, according to which Nee
ca, the most holy place of Islam, will
one day be RACED to the ground by the
Abyssinians, an event which Will be
attended by the most disastrous conse-
quences for the whole Of the Moslem
world
1t is owing to this belief that the
British must crush the Mad Mollah,
since to leave him unconquered would
place them in bad light not only with
the Egyptian army, but also in the eyes
of the SO,OOO,O00 Mohammedans in In
dia
To abandon Somaliland to his sway
would work incalcuiable damage to
her power and prestige in all other Mo
hammedan countries under her rule.
Not only must he be defeated, but
crushed absolutely. For in the case Of
Islam more than In that Of any other
creed the authenticity Of the mahdis
and prophets is gagged by the degree
Of their success against the infdels.
and the leaders of any armed religious
movement are not relegated to the
ranks of false prophets until defeat,
capture or death has convinced their
coreiigionists that they were frauds.
This is the task assigned to General
Manning. To assist him he will have
the troops already In Somaiiland and
an extra brigade from India. That he
will eventually succeed Is certain. but
at what cost remains to be seen.

A Message From the Pulpit.


In the old days, and probably to some
extent at the present day, the Scotch
clergyman was very much the pastor
of his flock. He looked out for the
big and little needs of their souls, and
also of their bodies. Dean Ramsay, in
his book, Scottish Life and Charac-
ter" tells a story vouched for by one
of his correspondents as authentic.
John Brown, burgher minister at
Whitburn, grandfather of the author
of "Rab and His Friends" was travel
Ing in the early part of last century on
small Shetland pony to attend the
summer sacrament at Haddington. Be
tween Musselburgh and Tranent he

Mr.. Brown logged on to Haddington.
After service in the afternoon, before
he pronounced blessing. he said from
the pulpit:

from back seat.

This is the motto which the Peoples
Savings Bank of Wilmington would have
impressed upon every man, woman and
child in that thrifty city.
The bank pays four per cent. interest
on deposits and advertises in a systematic
way for the business of that class of peo-
pie who may be best benefited by Saw,
ings Banks, and success has met its eff
forts, until today the deposits have pass
ed four hundred and fifteen thousand dol
lars ($45, 100000.
The capital stock OF the Peoples Saw
ings Bank is thirty thousand dollars $780,

The Gibraltar in the Banking History

which has record perhaps uneqnalied IN
the entire history of banking IN the
South, is the Atlantic National Bank, OF
Wilmington, which, during the past year,
has probably paid more actual cash IN
dividends TO its stockholders, without III
the slightest degree impairing the strength
of it's surplus, etc, than any otper bank
with the same capital.
