JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIEHAS A RIVAL IN INDIAYMirza, Ghuiam Ahmad, of Qudiab, 'Punjab, India, insists that John Alexander Dowie, of Zion, I1L, U. S. A., is notup to date.MIKZA AHMAD,Allah is good and Mahomet is prophet truly, but Mirza Ghuiam Ahmad is the Messiah! So claims Mirza Ghuiam that each should pray that the other perish, and Mirzali is lost in wonderment that the overseer of Zion has not toed the scratch. He expresses his amazement in an article just published in the Review of Religions,-which is printed on occasions at Gur-■daspur, India-That the tempestuous Dr. Dowie nhll know that Mirza Ghuiam Ahmad is no common, man, is not a frail human forsooth, the new Messiah writes: • '‘Dr. Dowie should further bear in•mind that this challenge does not proceed from an ordinary Mohammedan. I am the very Messiah, the promised one, for whom he is so anxiously waiting. Between Dr. Dowie’s position and mine the difference is this, that Dowie fixes the appearance of the Mes-.^lah within the next twenty-five years, v.wMle I gave him the glad tidings that r the Messiah has already appeared. I that Messiah, and Almighty God Shoe shown numerous signs from earth •te well as from heaven in my support. My following, which already claims a hundred thousand souls, is making a *apid progress. The proof that Dr. Dowie furnishes in support of his extravagant claims is the very height of absurdity. He claims to have healed hundreds of sick men. But why did ilii healing power fail in the case of tils own beloved daughter, where it should have been exercised in the hlgh-degree?”ROMANCE OF THE PAPACY.liPINIf£ £ a £ 3Id:
