ISLAM [To the Editor of TliE SPECTATOR.]

Si a letter from Fares Effendi Menaw, appearing in your issue of May 1st, it is stated 'with reference to Islam that ". in that religion the relation between man and God is that of a slave to his master, as is abundantly suggested by many Moslem names, such is AM Allah."

May I remind him* that the name Obadiah, although not a Muslim name,' has exactly the same signification as Abdullali ?
