Mohammedanism : has it any Future ? By Charles H.

Robinson, M.A. (Gardner, Darton, and Co.)—Mr. Robinson discusses the question, which includes another of a kindred- nature—what is the Present of Mahommedanism ?—in a very, reasonable and candid way. He will not satisfy indeed the. eccentric persons who hold that Islam is better than Christianity, relatively for this or that race, as, e.g., for the negro, or even absolutely. But he sees what elements of strength the religion has. He does not despair of its ultimate conquest by Christianity,. but allows that the struggle will be a long one. Meanwhile, till we can give the Moslem our own faith, he had better keep what. he has got.
