This spirit of intolerance of Dr. Wilson's work is manifested on page thirteen, by this statement: "How can I classify the late Prof. T. K. Cheyne of Oxford? It is only charitable to excuse it as the product of his dotage." Many false statements are inserted in his work, like that which was mentioned on page 167 against me. Dr. H. H. Jessup wrote: "A cousin of Dr. Kheiralla, who is clerk (he is editor and manager and not clerk) in the American Press in Beirut, gave me the following statement: 'Doctor Kheiralla, after the death of his first wife in Egypt, in 1882, married first a Coptic widow in El Fayum, whom he abandoned, and then married a Greek girl, whom he also abandoned, and who was still living in 1897 in Cairo. He then married an English wife, who abandoned him when his matrimonial relations became known to her.'" (Outlook, of New York, quoted in The Missionary Review, October, 1901, P. 773.) I hereby declare that the above mentioned statement is a false and misleading one purposely composed in order to injure me. Also it was published in Dr. Wilson's book to blacken my character. The facts are as follows: First, my daughter Nabihi, the wife of Amir (prince) Hani Ali Schehab, went purposely to my cousin's home in Beirut and asked if the above mentioned statement published by Dr. H. H. Jessup in the Outlook Magazine was given by him to Dr. Jessup ; and the answer was an absolute denial. Also Dr. Amin A. Kheiralla, the son of my cousin and a Professor in the American College in Beirut, while in Chicago a few weeks ago on his way to New York, confirmed the aforesaid statement. Second, the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church of Egypt, who is considered as great an authority as the Pope at Rome, gave me the legal divorce from the Coptic widow, long before I became Behai. Third, my Greek wife was a noble soul and of good family, but she refused to come and live with me in America. On these grounds the Court in Chicago granted me a divorce according to the United States. laws. Afterwards I ceded to her 200 acres of land, the only property I had in Egypt, although the Court in Chicago did not allow her anything. Fourth, my English wife had seen and read the decree of divorce before we married. Many American believers, for instance, Mr. William James and Dr. F. O. Pease, will bear witness to this fact. She was refined and well educated, but turned entirely against me at Acca and became a devotee to the cause of Abbas Effendi. Through the intrigues of Abbas Effendi and his followers, who persecuted me bitterly in different ways, she sued me for bigamy in the Court in Manhattan at New York City, but she lost the case. Later I sued her for divorce in the Court at Chicago where she was found guilty and I was |
