Excerpt from Islam and Christianity in India and the Far East
The Papers published in this volume prepared specially for the Students" Lecture Course on Missions at the Princeton Theological Seminary sum up the results of many years of study in connection with missionary work in India. The object has not been so much to present what is most interesting in connection with the cause of missions to Mohammedans as to set forth the facts and conditions under which on the one hand, Islam has been propagated in India and the countries farther east and on the other Christianity has established its missions for the evangelisation of all non Christians, Moslems included. In the accomplishment of this purpose I have endeavoured to give a brief account of the religion of Islam, in order to show the character and quality of the work to be done in order to evangelise its votaries. Two chapters are then devoted to an account ef the propagation of Islam in India and the Far East.
One of these emphasises the services of the proselyting sword. The other illustrates the power which Islam has exerted along the line of preaching. Taken together, these chapters show that in Islam, preaching and teaching normally follow upon the heels of the invading Moslem army, and on the other hand that the preaching of Islam invariably calls in the aid of the secular power.
