 Rh challenge. How desperately the Moslem world needs this living argument! How difficult the task! The way, too, is dark with ancient prejudices and misunderstandings. But Christ, who said, "All power is given unto me. . . . Go ye therefore," and "Lo, I am with you alway," will be our strength and our companion. It was he who said, also, "I am the light of the world." He will lighten the darkness. For it is not alone Islam that challenges us, but Jesus Christ himself. He goes before us into every area of need throughout the Moslem world. His is the example of the deepest sympathy for human suffering and sacrificial love in ministering to it. He leads the way and bids us follow him in the glorious task of rebuilding the world, a world in which there shall be neither Jew nor Moslem, neither Hindu, Buddhist, nor Confucianist, nor even Christian in any narrow communalistic sense, but all shall be one brotherhood of man in Christ, and all sons and daughters in the common family of God the Father.
