demned his actions and claims. One of them told me before some others who were there, that he himself was present, when Abbas Effendi urged his Bostonian followers to take possession of the property of Miss Farmer, known as "Greenacre." I asked him to permit me to mention his name to that effect, but he refused, fearing that some injury might be inflicted on his relatives in Persia. If more information concerning Abdul Baha's false teachings and claims is wanted, read both of my works, "Facts for Behaists" and "The Three Questions."

O Christians! Why do you believe not on Christ? Beha 'U'llah sprang from Mohammedanism as Christ foretold in the 12th chapter of Revelation. He was the manchild of the woman clothed with the Sun (Persia) and the Moon (Turkey) under her feet, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron after 1260 years from the appearance of Mohammedanism.

Also Christ gave his disciples unmistakable signs regarding the persecution of the holy people directly before the Appearance of the Father: "But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons."

"And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death." Daniel also foretold the same thing in the 12th chapter.

1. "And at that time shall Mi-cha-el (who is like God, Beha 'U'llah) stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there

shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered,, every one that shall be found written in the book.

2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

7. And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by him that liveth forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished."

This was fulfilled as Christ and Daniel foretold, precisely when the holy people, the saints who came with God and who awoke from the dust of the earth to an everlasting life, were persecuted, imprisoned, battled against, assassinated, scattered and exiled as happened to the Bab and the Babis, whom Beha 'U'llah, the Great Prince, stood up and defended. Indeed since then he began to teach the Babis and better them spiritually and morally as was recorded in the history of what Beha did for the betterment of the Babis at Bagdad, and other places.

Also Christ and the prophets foretold, that the day of God shall be "A day of darkness." "He will come in the clouds." "A great and dreadful day." "He will come like a thief at night," and so forth. Indeed, it was a day of trouble which has no equal in the history of the appearance of all the prophets, a day of shedding blood, of battles, of massacres,

of assassinations; and at last the holy people were scattered and exiled.

This historic fact proves beyond any doubt that the Everlasting Father had come to save His Vineyard and that that which was promised to us in the Kingdom was accomplished. We should rejoice, although it was a dreadful day, and chant the songs of praise and thanks, because this happened in our life time and our redemption became a certainty and an established fact.

But alas! Dr. Wilson took this historic fact of shedding blood and assassination which is one of the strongest proofs of the true claims of the Behai religion, and twisted it into a weapon whereby he bitterly attacked Beha 'U'llah and the Behai religion. He must have done it in order to cover the downfall of the husbandmen with a thin veil of misrepresentation or he lacks the comprehension of the significance of the revelations recorded in the Bible. Whatever the reason may be which caused him to do so, I humbly ask Beha 'U'llah to help him to return to God.

One of the most significant signs of the coming of the Father is, the fulfillment of the times of the Gentiles as Christ foretold: "And Jerusalem shall be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." Luke 21:24. Precisely the seven times (2520 years) of the Gentiles, mentioned in Daniel were fulfilled in 1892, when the Father fully established his Kingdom and departed to the spiritual realms. Acca, then, became the New Jerusalem and took the place of the old

one.

The times of the Gentiles are seven times (360 years times 7-2520 years) which shall pass over the head of Nebuchadnezzar, until the Kingdom of God is established on earth, as was mentioned in Daniel, second chapter, and in the vision of the tree, in the fourth chapter. By adding 628 years, B. C., in which Nebuchadnezzar was born, to 1892, A. D., in which Beha 'U'llah departed, they would make exactly 2520 years, the times of the Gentiles, yet Christians believe not on Christ.
