I told them that I fully recognised the diffi- culty of the case, but said that we also should go in for many wives were it not that the plain com- mand of God was against it. I said that they could still keep their households of women as servants. The Mussulmans had again much to say. They declared that polygamy had nothing to do with religion. I asked their chief advocate, " How many wives have you .^ " " Four." " Why not five } " This... they knew to be an injunction of their creed, and could not answer.
