The followers of Mohammed have no knowledge of God as a _Father_; still less have they knowledge of him as "_Our_ Father"  the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. THE FOLLOWERS OF MOHAMMED HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AS A FATHER STILL LESS HAVE THEY KNOWLEDGE OF HIM AS OUR FATHER THE GOD AND FATHER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
its blight on the ancient seats of Jerome and Chrysostom, and shrouds in darkness the once bright and famous sees of Cyprian and Augustine, has been disastrous every-where to liberty and progress, equally as it has been to Christianity. And it is only as that eclipse shall pass away and the Sun of righteousness again shine forth that we can look to the nations now dominated by Islam sharing with us those secondary but precious fruits of divine teaching. Then with the higher and enduring blessings which our faith bestows, but not till then, we may hope that there will follow likewise in their wake freedom and progress, and all that tends to elevate the human race.[80] [Sidenote: No sacrifice for sin or redemptive grace.] Although with the view of placing the argument on independent ground I have refrained from touching the peculiar doctrines of Christianity, and the inestimable benefits which flow to mankind therefrom, I may be excused, before I conclude, if I add a word regarding them. LE AS I HAVE SAID ELSEWHERE THE ECLIPSE IN THE EAST WHICH STILL SHEDS ITS BLIGHT ON THE ANCIENT SEATS OF JEREMI AND CHRYSOSTOM AND SHROUDS IN DARKNESS THE ONCE BRIGHT AND FAMOUS SEAS OF CYPRIAN AND AUGUSTINE HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS EVERYWHERE TO LIBERTY AND PROGRESS EQUALLY AS IT HAS BEEN TO CHRISTIANITY AND IT IS ONLY AS THAT ECLIPSE SHALL PASS AWAY AND THE SON OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AGAIN SHINE FORTH THAT WE CAN LOOK TO THE NATIONS NOW DOMINATED BY HIS LAMP SHARING WITH US THOSE SECONDARY BUT PRECIOUS ROOTS OF DIVINE TEACHING THEN WITH THE HIGHER AND ENDURING BLESSINGS WHICH OUR FATE BESTOWS BUT NOT TILL THEN WE MAY HOPE THAT THERE WILL FOLLOW LIKEWISE IN THEIR VAGUE FREEDOM AND PROGRESS AND ALL THAT TENDS TO ELEVATE THE HUMAN RACE ALTHOUGH WITH THE VIEW OF PLACING THE ARGUMENT ON INDEPENDENT GROUND I HAVE REFRAINED FROM TOUCHING THE PECULIAR DOCTRINES OF CHRISTIANITY AND THE INESTIMABLE BENEFITS WHICH FLOW TO MANKIND THEREFROM I MAY BE EXCUSED BEFORE I CONCLUDE IF I ADD A WORD REGARDING THEM
