Interest in the comparative study of Religions is becoming in Western lands more and more prominently a Sign of the times, not only among students in our theo logical colleges, but among thoughtful laymen everywhere. The time has gone by when the religions Of the East can be put on one side as myths and delusions not worthy even for a moment to be compared with the Christian religion. N ow that the religious books of the East have all been translated into European languages, and the religious beliefs and practices of Eastern people have been carefully examined and recorded by competent scholars, it has become clear that the comparative study of religions, and especially of Christianity with other religions, is a necessity of the age in which we live. The present work deals exclusively with Mohammedan ism, and is an attempt to provide a popular text-book on the wide field of Mussulman faith, practice, and history, and to Show wherein the religion of Mohammed falls below the religion of Christ.
