To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If any proposition can admit of an easy demonstra- tion, it is that those characteristics which are noblest and best in these systems, are not a natural evolution from the Semitic mind. Semitic custom, through the compro- mises which it demanded of Islam, on behalf of heathen- Digitized by VjOOQIC CONCLUSION 241 ism, sensuality, and the love of plunder, has left its brand upon the Moslem religion. Semitism has been able to say to Islam, "Thus farshalt thou go, and no farther." Semitism, so far ...from producing Christianity, was able to devitalize it, to bring its adherents under the influence of the superstitions of heathenism.
The theory of the traditionalist, that the teachings of the Old Testament are new revelations direct from God, without relation to past customs and institutions, is not borne out by facts. While it is often man's method to break entirely with the past, even in innocent habits and modes of thought, and missionaries in the earlier years are said to have illustrated this method, some at times teaching converts from the historic churches that it was wrong to observe Christmas and Easter, or any other saint's days, or to sing any of the old songs, or to main- tain any of the old customs ; a study of the Bible shows that this is not God's method.
