Ye. Christians of Europe and .'\merica ! and v~ ~eekers after trutfi! Know " it for certain that the Messiah. who Wastu Collide h f ~ o m ' e , and it is he who is speaking to you at . this moment. I leaven and earth have slaown sigrts, and the prophecies of the H o l y l ' rophets o f .~f,~d have seen fheJr.fulfilment. Almighty God has shown me' thousands of .'~-,,~ls-alld furnished arguments of mv trtith in every ~wav. I say to you t r u l y that i f t h e heavenly signs whicfl have been ]thown ".on my hands,-had .been shown by .Jesus, son of Mary, t h e Jews x~'ould have' heen s aved frourkdestruction excep t such as " x~:ere the sons of perdition. Who is not aWare'~f t l i e effect of lesus ' si,_,n~ On the m i n d s o f the Jews? Only one i n s t i m c e ~ u f f i c i e n t to i l lus t ra te ' i t viz.. the case of Judas l.scari0t, t he favor i t e ap0sfle N for x'/'hom a throne lmtl" heen pronf isedin heaven, but-who apostatized even in the presence of the master. Not only by his apostaey did he deprive himself of the pronaised throne hut he also threw Jesus into.innumeralfle difficulties, : \ l l :ye tha t - ari~ desirous of perpetual happines.and eternal Salvation, fly to me- for here is the fountain which Will purge you of all your impurities and here 3,.u will find the salvation which is t'he f ru i t .o f ce r t a in ty and a s trong fahh and perfect knowledge. Know it for certain that y o u r t rus t in the |flood of Jesus is a vain trust. Had he been ct:ncified not once hut ;t. tl]ousand times, even then he cou ld nut Imve Saved votu Sal'vati0n is in faith and love and certainty aml 'not in the blood ~t', a .man. Time is giving you the warn ing that t h e theory of a blood-bath is a: false theory, therefore repent of Such beliefs.wlaile {here is time and before you are called to stand before tile tlirone of (;otl. Ahnighty God has sentYme in t h iS ag e : t h a t I might bear witness that ;ill faiths have-f~ecome corrupt and heen tainted w.ith falsehood with t h e o n l y exception o f Islam. i f the truth of my tes t i - " mony is not sealed by Divine-authori ty, I am not:true.: but if the w i t n e s s tha t I bear is confiml~ed by the Di(,ine seal being il~q,ressed u p o n it, re- 01ember lest you bring 50urselx es under the judginent of God by rejecting i truth.

fluence to induce tile Chri.5- tian divines to pray for the achievement of a certain difficult object., in

- and divide them among the Christian divines and the Ahmadees by lot, and let .the-Christian divines pray for the recovery of those allotted to them and we shall pray for. those allotted to us and then let the world see whose prayer is heard, and on whom the doors of heaven a r e shut .

If, however. Christian divines do not come forward (and they cer- ' - i a i n l y shall noti-for they perceive in t he i r hearts: that G o d has removed
