ISLAM IN INDIA.

By Rev. T. G. Scott

More than one-third of the adherents of Islam are in India. Nowhere else are Moslems so accessible. Nowhere else is there such immunity to the missionary from hostile resistance to his work, and from lawless effort to destroy the result of his labor. Nowhere else is the Moslem, from the force of circumstances, so powerless for mischievous aggression and malevolent resistance to the peaceful efforts of evangelism. Perhaps in no other land do we find Islam in a more orthodox form, and with so many followers in a reasonable and enlightened frame of mind to meet the advances of the missionary in the prosecution of his work. Perhaps no land has yielded so many converts to Christianity with so large a number of enlightened and faithful workers for Christ.—Rev. T. G. Scott.
