Islam. It is by no means all converts but only
few individuals here and there who pay any
attention to the deeper religious requirements.
No abrupt break in polygamous conditions is
demanded, as is the case In Christian missions
while magical practices and other supersti-
lions are tolerated
The convert thus loses nothing but on the
contrary gains in social position and considera-
ton. so that his adhesion is almost a matter
of course"
How Islam FORCES ahead in India is shown
by these figures
In 1871 there were, in Bengal, 7,0oO, 900
Hindoos and 16,500,O00 Mohammedans. In
1901 there We're 100000 Hindoos and more
than nearly 195O0O00 Mohammedans
Thus. in thirty years. the Mohammedans,
who, at the start, numbered half a million less
than the Hindoos, had not only made up that
deficit, but placed themselves 100000 in the
lead.
Basing his statement these figures, Lieut.
Col. Mukerjee, OF the Indian Medical Service,
In his book entitled "A Dying Race" maintains
that in Bengal the future is with the Moham-
medans.
In explanation of the success of MosIem
methods in India, a Christian missionary who
knows that land says:
1.-The Mosem propaganda is Asiatic we
are not. He can ingratiate himself with the
people: he can make himself one of them in
every detail of social life; he will give his
daughter in marriage TO the convert and while
We are learning to speak the language, he
grows into their very life.
The Moslem propaganda is a keen
itinerant; why should not our preachers and
catechists move about among the people with
less show of European tent and boat?
Martyr Clark says that as ninety-ive per
cent. Of the people live In villages ii were wis
dom to learn from the Moslem monarchs, who
propagated Islam in the villages; their power
persisted but their religion remained
He sums up admirably the difference be-

tween the proselytizing method Of Christian
and Moslem by saying that the former, in or
der to succeed must be less of combatant
and more of a wooer.'
In the great islands of Malaysia Islam is
likewise meeting with marked success. A
Christian missionary in those remote parts de-
clares that the population of large portions OF
Java Celebes, Sumatra and other less I'M
portant islands is already quite Islamized.
In Borneo, he adds Moslem influence is in
creasing steadily In the same proportion as
Paganism Is declining Only at such places
where there are Christian missions is this prog
ress checked successfully. But in the greater
part of the island, the Mohammedan propa-
ganda goes on without resistance.
THE Moslems of Malaysia" he says, who
leave their native country in order to establish
themselves on the shores of other countries,
whether temporarily or permanently, are gen.
orally anxious to make proselytes. 1t is not
especially religious conviction that drives
them, but rather commercial interest. Those
who emigrate are always people who gain their
living by trading.
Now pagan tribes in Malaysia live in COM
munism The family extends itself to a clan,
clans grow to tribes; and family relation is
the only tie that holds together these commu-
mites. Only among ones family does one feel
safe
ct is a matter of course that the Moham-
medan foreigner, soon as he Is established
on the shore of the heather land, tries to en-
ter into family relations with the native tribe
in the neighborhood of which he lives and
trades. In this he succeeds by marrying a
woman belonging to that tribe He and other
fellow Mohammedans create Moslem family
circles; for the wives have to adopt the re-
Hgion of their husbands, be 1t only superficial
ly. No one will expect the wife to fulfill the
duties of her new religion. but her children are
sure to become better Mohammedans than
their mother

SEARCH FOR LITTLE IOWA.
Romance is Related of Baby Born on
Sherman's March to Sea-Whole
Regiment Takes Peek.

Forty-six years ago, down near Co
iumbia, S. c., there was born little
black-eyed baby girl TO Confederate
mother, in a Federal ambulance &C
companying General Sherman's army,
then on its famous march to the sea.
In recognition of the kindnesses OF
the 25th Iowa troops, who cared for
her at the time, the southern mother
called the baby Little Iowa." and
smilingly told the officers of that
regiment that when Iowa" reached
the age of 16 years she should be
given in marriage to the youngest sol
der of the regiment.
AS sequel, Sergeant O'Donnell, of
Mapleton, Iowa, whom the records
show to have been the youngest man
in the regiment is out at this late
date seeking the whereabouts of Lit
tie Iowa." with the intention, 1t is pre-
sumed, of asking the fulfillment OF
the promise made so many years ago

by the grateful mother. O'Donnell
has called to his assistance practically
all the surviving members of the regi-
ment and hundreds of letters are be-
ing written by these veterans to &C
luaintances in the south asking for in
formation of Little Iowa."
None of the Iowans remembers even
the surname Of the mother-in fact,
nothing other than Little Iowa" is
remembered by the old soldiers. who
have not a single clew upon which to
base their search. However, they
have all joined Sergeant O'Donnell
in the hunt, and If Little Iowa" is
the old soldiers
1t was the day following that on
which General Sherman's army left
Columbia that the young woman was
encountered. No physician was near.
The army could not be delayed. So
the 25th Iowa soldiers placed the
woman in an ambulance under the
care of Surgeon Marsh and took her
along with them.
That night the child was born and
next morning all the members of the
regiment filed past and took look"
at the little one. The men of Gen. G.
A. Stones brigade took up collection
for the babe and 5000 was handed the
mother. Then it was that the latter
made the promise that in sixteen
years the youngest soldier in the regi-
ment could claim as his bride, IL he
chose to do so, the baby who was then
and there named Little Iowa" The
mother and her child were taken to
Charleston and the Iowa soldiers lost
track Of them.
The fact that O'Donnell, as the
youngest Of the regiment, was to mar
ry the girl when she reached 16 was
a standing joke for many days and
then it was forgotten, save by O'Don-
nell. He remembered 1t. But 1t was
not until the sixteen years had passed
and another period of time equal to
the first had elapsed that ne deter
mined to hunt the girl up and see
what had become of her. He didn't
know her name, nor even the state in
which her mother had lived. His only
clew was Little Iowa." and for a
number of years he has quietly con-
Quoted his search. Recently, how
ever, he has asked the other old SOL
diers of the regiment to assist him in
finding this real Daughter of the

One striking thing
about this spread of the
doctrines Of Islam is
that European colonial
governments tend to
help rather than him
der 1t. The pacification
of heather countries
and the suppression OF
the slave trade, 1t
seems, have been fav-
orable to Mohammed-
anism.
One missionary ex-
plains why Islam is al

great sections of north
and east Africa, and Is
steadily advancing, in
this wise:

"How long were the ruins Of tho

was the population in ancient times?
strongly insisted that appearances are
deceiving. The hundreds, and indeed
thousands, of sites of ancient villages
in Colorado, the Texan Panhandle.
Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, as
we'll as in similar parts Of northern
Mexico, were not all inhabited at one
time. SO they tell us. Mostsrepresent
more temporary stopping places where
migratory bands of people supposed
to have been ancestors of the Indians
settled for a few years and then
moved on. At the outside limit, so
say these Psychologists, the entire
population never amounted to more
than a few score thousands, whose
civilization was of the lowest and
most Insignificant type. Other stu
dents. fewer in number than the ortho-
dox school, hold that the majority of
the ruins were all occupied at the
same time and for century after cen.
fury. They say that the population
Of the arid southwest must have
amounted to many hundred thousands
decidedly more in all probability
than the country supports today. Fur
thermore, If this were SO, although
the type of civilization may have been
most primitive compared with ours,
yet it was by no means so low az
that of the modern Indians. 1t must
have been of the same grade as that
of early Babylonia, Egypt, Palestine or
Greece before the art Of writing was
invented. People who could dwell
peacefully for centuries in large, per.
manent communities, and could build
great communal houses and long sys-
TENS of canals, were by no means un-
tutored savages. Civil order and sub
mission to the will of the majority
must have been as we'll developed
among them as among US. Such
view leads one to believe that, If only
we could trace it, the history of the
primitive Americans would prove
quite as interesting. and to us possibly
more interesting than that OF the ear
