I hare been all my life more of a critic than a dimple praii-or of the British rule of India, and I hare not h-sUated to say soma hard tilings at times. I can, therefore, speak with the most perfect candour and Binceiily what the British character' is, what tho civilization of the world owes to tho British genius, and what wt Indians owe to the British people for benefits past as well as benefits to come.

Yes, 1 have, not the least doubt: in my dual of the vast mass of humanity of India        u«.uu,„ in his heart, viz., to support to tho best of his ability and pomir the British people in their glorious struggle  for justice, liberty, honour and true humane greatness aud happiness.
Tho Priuces and people of India have already mada spontaneous offers, and until the victorious end of this great struggle no. other thought than that of supporting wholo-heartedly the Britiub Nation, should enter the inind ot India.

Last Friday was "Moslem Day " in the Anglo-American Exposition at Shspherd'a Bush (the Whita City).   The proceedings were held under the auspices of the Islamic Society in tlie beantiful Palace of Music.   A very large number of Moslems were present as early as 11 a. m., i hough the first item on the programme—the J >oma iNamaas—was due to begin at 12 30 p. hi.   The public were allowed admittance as well and throughout the day lar^e niiDabers of people, iaterested   in   Ieiam,  visited the   Palace of Music   in groups. Khwaja Kama! ud din of Woking Mosque, who preiridcd over tha proceedings,   led the dobma Namax punetually at half-past twel.e. He also delivered an inipiemive seriuou on the " Unity of UoJ." An interval for lunch followed, after wh'eh we were treated to a serious and weighty discourse on the " Philosophy of Islam" by Quri Sarfaraa Hosaiu.
The Xamst-i-Asr was ledfhy Mr. Khalid Sheldrake, an English Moslem—an illumination evidence of tha magttincent brotherhood that prevails in It lam. . Htic was a man, who until lately a Ghr'stian, leading the pray«]f| in the presence of Mussalmaos, biead and horn M u«saltnans so to say, and yet all those who stood behind him unanimously ex>«n^ed to their English Imam every courtesy, lerereae* and devotltn! This in itself is tiiiffictent praeikal testimony to lha truth of the oliivi' i»lamie piiuciple— the bund of union, fellowship
