But whatever the cause-and his

victory of Charles Martel at Tours
marked the beginning Of the decline
Of the Moslem power in Europe. The
struggle was not merely between two
armies. or two generals. but between
two races. two colors. two continents.
The white man was victorious over the
brown man. Europe was victorious
over Africa. The test OF strength came
when the conquering Arabs met In Its
primitive strength the Caucasian race
they had hitherto encountered only
where idleness and i'll living had sapped
it's vigor and thinned its fighting blood.

in steel that the Moslem empire in
Spain became solidihed.
Spain became khalifate. with Cor
dova as it's capital, only to demonstrate
the fact that the Arab advance pros
pered only when it was advancing. So
long as there was common ambition
among the Africans and Asiatics who
composed the people known in history
as the Arab -Moors they made common
cause. But when they were no longer
welded together In an effort to devas-
tate the country of the 'infidel and
fill their coffers with loot from Chris
tian cities, tribal differences and racial
prejudice began to assert themselves.
Berbers became enemies OF Arabs.
Arabs became pillagers of Berbers.
Christians became increasingly power

When Abdu-rrahman fell at Tours
1t was made plain that the "invincible'
Arabs were no longer invincibie. The
crescent had met the cross where the

Held Guns on Laps.

Attending divine worship was a good
deal Of lob in those days. The wor-
shippers held their guns on their laps
while they listened to the preaching
with one car open for the alarm Of the
sentry who was kept outside. We have
an interesting picture of the Sunday
services at Plymouth written by Isaac
de Rasieres. a Dutch merchant who
visited the place in 1921. He says:
Upon the hill they have a large
square house with fiat roof made Of
thick sawn planks. staid with oak beams.
upon the top Of which they have six
canrons. which shoot iron balls OF four
and five pounds and command the sur
rounding country. The lower part they
use for their church. where they preach
on Sunday and the usual holidays.
The quality OF their piety is shown by
the fact that every man, woman and
child in the village went to meeting as II
all the world was at peace. "At the
hour Of worship the silent villagers as
sembied by drum beat. as was beflttng
the church militant. At this signal the
house doors oponed to give passage to
each family. The men wore sad-colored
