That he upressed eenti mu-ntn which took his lu-arena 1-) storm. that he said some things that startled them exceedingly, goes without saying. His address lms been suggestixe of much com- ment. as it was 'X[it'lA31l to be, and while some do not concur with him, while they do not desire to abandon any of their moat cheriehed beliefs. they cannot but admire the boldness w ith which he has attacked them. Canon Taylor unlnurmlennl himself before the church convention freely, can- didly, and with the condence of one who knew whereof he spoke. At the outset he was interrupted with expressions of surprise; as he proceeded he provoked an occasional hear, helr ;" and when he haul tiniahedhe was cheered and applauded. And what was the drift of his thought! It was this: that . Islam is making great strides in Africa ; that it is at present the superior oi Christ- ianity as a civilinimz power; and that if ever Christianity is to he a substitute for it there must be a decided change in the tac tics of its missionaries.
