MISSIONS.
CHRIST FOX THE MosLEM WORLD.


For the first time in the history of
the American Board, the declaration
was put forth of it's purpose to make
direct effort to Christianize Mohamme-
dams The Cairo Conference of a few
weeks ago, including representatives of
the missionary boards of many Chris
tian denominations, has brought to the
front the necessity laid on the disciples
of Christ to preach the gospel to every
creature. Christian effort in behalf of
the most of the 230,000,0OO of the Mo-
hammedan world has hitherto been
barred. Concerted effort has now been
proclaimed by many Christian societies
through their representatives as about
to be entered on. The American Board
with its missions in Turkey is in the
center of that world, and must of ne
cessity declare its attitude toward this
movement. Although religious liberty
to all Turkish subjects has repeatedly
been proclaimed by the Sultan, it is
well known that no Moslem in the Tur-
kish Empire can change his faith with
out exposing himself to terrible perse-
cution and probable death.
Christian England laughed when Sgd
ney Smith sneered at William Carey as
a 'consecrated cobbler," going on a
FOOLS errand to convert the heather.
Carey died, aged seventy-three years.
He was visited on his deathbed by the
Bishop Of India, the head of the Church
of England in that land, who bowed his
head and invoked the blessing of the
dying missionary. The British authori-
ties had denied to Carey landing place
on his first arrival in Bengal; but when
he died, the government dropped all
us hags to half-maSt in honor of a man
who had done more for India than any
OF their generals. The universities of
Engl~nd, Germany, and America paid
tribute to his learning, and to-day Pro-
testant Christianity honors him as one
OF its noblest pioneers.

In conversation with Bishop Bash
ford, DR.. Griffith John, that stalwart
veteran Of the English Congregational
list Mission in China, recently said: at
Is no longer question of the awaken
Ing of China, but of the awakening of
Christendom to the opportunity which
now confronts her in the Celestial En-
plre." China is the greatest, the most
typical field of modern missions. What
Is thus stated so succinctly as relates
to the work of Christianity there may
De repeated in almost identical terms
OF every great field. We have long
prayed for open doors. Now they are
open. The Church is no longer strait
ened in her opportunities. She is strait
ened In her own sympathies She is
ignorant Of the possibilities of the pres
81 emu situation, and, being ignorant, Is
indifferent to them.
