In the great islands of Malaysia Islam Is
likewise meeting with marked success. a
Christian missionary in those remote parts ue-
clares that the population of large portions OF
Java gelebes. Sumatra, and other less I'M
portant islands is already quite lslam1zed.
In Borneo, he adds, Moslem influence is IN
creasing steadily in the same proportion as
Paganisn 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 esta biish
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 clan.
clans grow to tribes: and family relation 1s
the only tie that holds together these conmu-
mites. Only among ones family does one feel
safe.
"It is a matter of course that the Moham-
medan foreigner, as soon as he is established
on the shore of the heather land, tries to en-
ter into family relations with the native tribe
il 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

Islam. 1t is by no means all converts but cnly
a 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-5
tions are tolerated
1.-THE convert thus loses nothing, but on the
contrary gains in social position and considera-
tion SO that his adhesion is almost matter
of course"
How Islam forges ahead in India is shown
by these figures:
In 1871 there were, in Bengal 17000,0O0
Hindoos and 16,500,0O0 Mohammedans in
1901 there were 100000 Hindoos and more
than nearly 19,5O0,00O Mohammedans.
Thus, In thirty years, the Mohamm edans,
who, at the start, numbered half million less
than the Hindoos had not only made UP that
deficit but placed themselves 100000 in the
lead
Basing his statement on 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 Moslem
methods in India, Christian missionary who
knows that land says:
1.-THE Moslem propagandist is Asiatic; We
are not. He can ingrattate 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, ne
grows into their very life.
"The Moslem propaganda Is a keen
itfnerant; why should not cur preachers and
catecaists move about among the people with
less show of European tent and boat?
Martyr Clark says that as ninety-nve per
cent OF the people live In villages, it were wis.,
dom to learn from the Moslem monarchs, who
propagated Islam In the villages; their power
perished, but their religion remained.

May we have the grace to rejoice in

know that humanity is vaster than

spread spectacle of human suffering
and, having endured to look upon it,
learn to know our single ife-seem-

to realize that in this earthly progress
we shall not long dwell with happiness
