THAT there is a great awakening among the followers of the false prophet is apparent in the Mohammedan world. According to the Missionary Review of the World for June, a Mohammedan agitator, Al Afghani, has been traveling extensively of late in Turkey, British Arabia, Persia, Egypt, and North Africa, causing a great educational awakening. Wherever he has gone, his cry has been, “Learn, young man! Ignorance is a disgrace.” In Cairo, where is located the most important Mohammedan institution of learning in the world, with an enrolment of about twelve thousand students, a marked change in the curriculum of study and in school methods is being effected. The institution is becoming modernized so as to bring the students into touch with modern thought that they may be better prepared to go forth on their evangel in behalf of their religion. A great Mohammedan university is being started at Benares, in India, and others planned for in other Oriental centers. It is claimed that the present war between Turkey and Italy is serving to unite the various divisions of the Mohammedan world into one commonwealth of sympathy and united interest. The followers of Islam feel the influence of Christian missions, and believe that they face a crisis involving their very existence. Of late it is asserted that pilgrimages to Mecca have more than doubled, liberal donations have been sent from Egypt, India, and other Moslem lands to the sultan to assist him in the present war. The future is viewed with concern not only by Mohammedans, but by Christian missionaries as well, who question if the Christian church is in that position of consecration and in that possession of divine power which will enable it to meet this revival of the forces of evil. The future presents intensely interesting problems in the preaching of the gospel message to the world. Our work has hardly made a beginning among the people of Mohammedan faith. We need a great endowment of power to successfully go up into these strongholds of error.
