holy man. The more thou wilt labour to rise up-
ward, the more shalt thou rise upward."

the Mohammedans ; hence it comes to pass that for
one Saracen who becomes a Christian, ten Christians

through the true faith has enriched Christians before

true faith to unbelievers. But since we, O Lord, are
occupied with vain things, we forget our obligation
to love unbelievers, to help them, and to guide them,
since through our fault they remain blind in the
darkness of unbelief. Hence they will accuse us to
Thee, O Lord, at the day of judgment."
