On a recent occasion we remarked
on the fact that students in Rich

In violation Of the law. While the
STUDENTS were tried and convicted. no

The War and Islam.

DR.. s. NJ. Zwemer writes:
''The effect Of the war on missions
in Europe will doubtless be the open
ing of doors and the discovery of
many prepared hearts. Great revivals
have often followed great national dis
asters. and look forward 10 such re-
vivals in all the countries affected.
Sits effect. outside, Of. Europe. May
be, on the contrary, To give nom
Christians. especially Moslems. false
ideas of Europe and Christianity. 1T
remains TO be seen. however. whether
this will be the case. Many of us are
hoping that as by-products of this
Judgment Of God on Europe there
may be new liberty In Turkey and
Russia and a firmer: grip OF righteous
rule in Egypt. II is too early to
prophesy. but not too early to pray
and believe.
There is no doubt that the Chris
tians in every part Of the world are
better and stronger morally than the
Moslems They have their special
temptations. and the gulf which sepa-
rates the East and the West Is to
them special pitfall, but in all mat
tiers relating to the seventh and ninth
commandments there liz no compari-
son between the Christian and the
n-Christian. The standards are
raised Immediately and the proof OF
this statement you will find not only
in biographies and converts. but in
the autographs OF Christian communi-
ties as portrayed by DR.. Dennis in HIS
second volume of Missions and Social
Progress The trouble Is that most
people consider the value OF Christ
and Christianity too much in the light
Of an insurance policy. which is paid
only after DEATH The non-C Christian
world needs Christ now. He Is the
bread of life. the love OF Him who
strengtheneth all those who seek
