Excerpt from The Trestle Board, Vol. 10: A Monthly Masonic and Family Magazine; December, 1896 Another hindrance to the progress of Islam lies in the want of a suitable educa tion for the lower and middle classes; A carefully composed extract from the K0 ran, also translated in other languages, similar to the Bible extracts now demanded in parts of Protestant Germany, with an notations pointing out its innermost germ, and a popular epitome of the world's his tory, the elements of the comparative science of religions, the laws of nature, love towards all men, kindness to animals, love of truth, cleanliness and sanitary sci ence ought to be taught to the followers of Mahomed by the best attainable teachers, irrespective of their nationality or creed. Thus enlightened, the people of Islam will be saved from the consequences of super-1 stition, and soon understand the necessity of not regarding the Koran as a compen dium of revelations. It was inevitable that the people of Islam should fall into this great mistake, since during preceding centuries a similar position has been as signed to the Scriptures collected in the Bible. This great and misleading error has only during the last centuries begun to be corrected by applying to the Bible the principles of critical investigation, thus proving, though not yet to all Christians, that these Scriptures may be explained to contain God's word, but that they are not the word of God. This lamentable error among Christians ought to be a warning to the people of Islam. Another effect of a suitable general education among Mabom edans, greatly to the advantage of those Christians who are adverse to the persecu tions of Jews, will be the disappearance of the still legally secured inequalities be tween different nationalities, between per sons of difierent ranks and creeds, and the abolition of slavery.
