CHRISTIANITY V. ISLAM.
Speaking the other day at a missionary meeting, Rev Dr Post brought the meeting to a close with an eloquent speech, in which he said that Mohammedanism was the only religion that could at all range itself against Christianity, Buddhism and Brahminism were dying, but_ the Koran lived because it had got in it some salt of the Old and New Testaments. The Anglo-Saxon race was at the head of Christianity, and the Arabic race at the head of Mohammedanism. Both were colon'sing and conquering peoples, and each had a great language spoken over vast continents. It would be a fight for life between them ; Christianity must conquer Islam, or Islam with its hordes would sweep away our European civilisation, as it swept away the sees of 400 Christian Bishoprics in Africa, which had never been restored. Who knew what fanatical forces might be stored up in Central Asia, to be let loose upon in some day like a devouring swarm of locusts ?
