Nv THE IN

SWORLD ~,
FROM ISLAM TO CHRIST.
Story Of the Conversion Of Youn1f
Moslem Sheikfe.

At the great Mohammedan college.
El-Azhar, in Cairo. thousands of stu
dents are annually prepared for serv-
ice as missionaries Of Islam. In view
Of such an output, it is not surprising
that Mohammedanism is rapidly gain
ing upon heathenism in Central Al
RIGA. While the messengers of Christ
are tardily sent forth by twos and
threes. the ground is being covered by
hundreds of messengers of Moham-
med, the result of whose labors is to
make the entrance of the gospel ten
fold more difficult. Such facts, says
the Record of Christian Work, render
all the more significant an event
which took place few weeks ago.
when young Moslem SLeikh, one of
the most gifted Of the Azhar students.
publicly avowed his faith in Christ
Before Lord Cromer at the British
agency, and in the presence of two
leading officials--a Moslem minister
OF the interior, and Copt minister Of
foreign affairs, who happened at the
time to call on Lord Cromer-this
young man passed through the ordeal
OF cross examination and signed a.
statement to the effect that he had de-
clded OF his own free will to remain,
a Christian. This he did knowing
that the cost must be not only loss of
wealth and position, but separation
from his father and relatives, to whom,
his act has brought bitter disappoint--
ment and Tin their eyes) disgrace.
The event has caused profound SEN
sation among the Moslem population.
and his European friends have adj
vised the young Sheikh to voyage to,
England.

Do you suppose the Rajah dictated
any such Lucretia Borgia thing as
that?"
Il did think so at first, but guess
1t was only the misguided zeal of some
understrapper. OF course, word has
gone out all along the C. & G. R line
that we are to be delayed by every
possible expedient''
But now Adams had also taken time
to think, and he shook his head.
For common humanity's sake ]
wish | could agree with you, Jack.
But can't. Mr.. Darrah dictated that
move in his own proper person"
How do you know that?"
Adams answer took the form of a
leading question. You had a mes
sage from me this afternoon?"
Il did"
What did you think of it?"
81 thought you might have left out
the first part of it; also that you
might have made the latter half a
good bit more explicit If you had put
your mind to it."
A slow smile spread itself over the
technologian's impassive face, and he
lighted another cigarette
Every man has ais limitations" he
said. 81 did the best | could under
the existing circumstances. But you
will understand: the Rajah knew very
well what he was about-otherwise
there would have been no telegram"
Winton sent the Chinaman out for
another cup OF tea before he said:
Did Miss Carteret come here a,one?"
ooh, no: Calvert came with her."
What brought them here?"
Adams spread his hands.
What makes any woman do pre-
cisely the most unexpected thing?
You'll have to go back of me-say to
Confucius or beyond-to find that
out"
Winton was silent for a moment,
balancing his spoon on the tip OF his
finger Finally he said: 81 hope you
did what you could to make it pleas
ant for her-not that there was much
to be don" in such God-forsaken
chaos as a construction camp"
81 did. And 1 didn't hear her COM
plain of the chaos. She seemed as in
terested as school glrI-particularly
in your sketches"
Winton flushed under the bronze.

CHURCH FOR ART STUDENTS.
Paris Colony of Americans to Enjoy

1t is usually estimated that there
are from 1000 to $500 American stu
dents in Paris, mostly in the schools
OF art; and those best informed be-
heve that even the larger number is
below the actual fact The real num-
Der, whatever 1t is, is likely to be
larger each year rather than smaller.

The station with its two one-car
trains, and the shacks of the little
mining camp beyond, lay shimmering
ghost-like IN the newborn light of the
moon. The engine of the sheriff's car
was humming softly with a note like
the distant swarming of bees, and
from the dance hall in Argentine the
snort of trombone and the tinkling
clang of a cracked piano f1oated out
upon the frosty night air.
Winton turned to go back The
windows of the Rosemary were all
dark, and there was nothing to stay
for. So he thought, at all events; but
i. he had not been musing abstracted-
ly upon things widely separated from
his present surroundings, he might
have remarked two tiny stars of Lam
tern light high on the placer ground
above the embankment; or, falling

dull, measured slumph of churn-drill
burrowing deep in the frozen earth of
the slope.
AS it was, pair of brown eyes
blinded him, and the tones of a voice
sweeter than the songs of Oberon's
sea maid filed his ears. Wherefore

Resianation Of Or. Lipsius.

Rev. DR.. Reinhard Lipsius, of the
University of Jena, has resigned from
the theological faculty of that insti-
tuition and has been appointed to q
chair in philosophy. The reason as
signed for this change is that having
given up his belief in Christianity az
a supernatural or final religion. he
felt it inconsistent to hold position
which was established for the defense
of the evangelical faith. In philosophy
he has a. free field, calling ne man
master. In religion he felt that he
could not at the same time profess
Christianity and antagonize it.

There is no abatement of the anti
foreign feeling and the animosity is
no longer confined to Americans. but
Includes all foreigners except Japan
ese. A formidable party has arisen
and is conducting an active propo-
ganda. 1t is known as "restorer OF
rights" and its purpose is to drive
the foreigners out of business in
China and to that end begins by rem
dering valueless the foreign invest
ments. In some quarters the Chinese
Government is alleged to sympathize
with the movement; and, at any rate.
capitalists interested in important
concessions are complaining that the
Chinese officials are deliberately de-
stroying their holdings and violating
their agreements at every turn. More
than any other nationality the Eng
lish are said to be injuriously affect
cd by this attitude of the Chinese
Government. The movement to de-
stroy or regain control OF concss-
sions held by foreigners is said to
have begun when the famous Han
kow-Canton revolutionary concession
was regained by the Chinese Govern
ment by purchase from the American
concessionaries, and since then every
new enterprise in the way of public
utilities in China has been offlcered
and manned by Chinese themselves,
foreign experience and direction be-
ing utilized only to the point where
the Chinese were able to acquire the
knowledge necessary to operate them.
The English are complaining that in
violation of an agreement. the Chi
nese Government is constructing q
railroad from Shaghai southword
with the deliberate purpose of de-
stroying the value of an English con-
cession and greatly injuring Hong
kong, and there are allegations that
mining concessions graSted to Brit.
ish subjects have been held up and
the concessionaries embarrassed.
Some of the great British interests
are uniting in strong appeals to their
Government to adopt a stronger at
titude and protect them in their
Chinese enterprises. :.
