MOHAMMEDANS THREATEN
 REVOLT.

With the great Christian nations { of the world divided in sentiment concerning the disposition of the Turk in Europe evil portents are arising in India and ominous rumb- lings are heard in the land where Allah is God and Mohamed is his prophet, says the Commercial Ap- peal. At such g time it is well that our own country should take de- cided stand against allowing the \ blood thirsty followers of the pro phet to continue their foothold in Europe. It is to be hoped that the { prevail in the councils of the allies and that the great capital of Con- stantine will be returned again to Christian control. Too long has it been profaned by the treacherous fanatics, who have slaughtered { Christians because other Christians could not agree on some plan of curbing these murderers.
 Correspondents in India of the London papers profess to see aris- ing there great movement of re volution. They fear the holy wal that the Turks proclaimed after they entered the world conflict, but that they were unable to put into ef- feet. Whether or not they are un- duly alarmed must remain for the future to decide, but an attempted Mohammedan revolt would not be surprising. Even admitting such q < possibility, there ewould be more unity in such movement than there was several years ago when the sul- tan solemnly called upon the fol- lowers of Mohammed to rise against Christianity. So far as the Mohanl- medans are concerned the golden op- SPortunity for an attack upon Chris tendon was when the great Chris tian nations were at each others throats in life and death struggle.
 However this may be, the great nations of the world should net be lulled into inaction by any feeling of false security. Mohammed, after borrowing many of his religious be liefs from the teachings of Jesus, spread them as much by the use of the sword as by appeals to the mind and heart of those peoples who bowed down to many and strange gods. Mohammedansm isl still an active and militant force There is no element of nonresistenceE in its teachings. To the Moham- medan mind the Koran is the divine word spoken through the mouth of the prophet, and there is no love in it for the "unbelievers." Rather is [ there hatred and threats of ven geance, for is it not written:
 Who is more unjust than he
 who is warned by the signs of
 his Lord, and then turneth
 aside from the same? We will
 surely take vengeance upon the
 wicked
 M0hammedanism is strong in num- bers and in repressed hate, but neither of these can be decisive in a 1 test of armed strength. Russia's millions could not prevail in the re- cent war because, not being on d | we'll rounded out war footing, the force of their numbers was lost. Besides, England has gone through an lndian mutiny before and trium- phed. Right now any kind of a war is the last thing in the universe to be desired, but should the follow CTS of the prophet launch such q struggle there need be no fear that the cross will be trailed in the dust of defeat.
