oI-The London Christian Times in a letter, dated
Constantinople, November, 1853, says: "a Mus
sulman has just been beheaded at Adrianople for
protesting the Christian religion. Happening at
this precise moment of time. when the fleets Of
England and France are lying in the Bosphorous,
having conn 10 preserve the Turkish government
from humiliation, it must be regarded as critical.
A providence is in it. and depend upon it, great
results will follow. The circumstances are brief
ly these:
A Mussalman, young ran, o. the village Of
Eski- Zaghars, near Adrianople, belonging to a
sect of Turks called Tafani, declared publicly that
Mahommed was a false prophet, and that the true
prophet was Christ and that after him there was
no prophet. The Turks warned him to beware,
but he perservered in his profession of Christiani-
ty, and was at last thrown into prison. Suisse
quently, he was removed to Adrianople, where he
was tried before the highest court of the Pasha.
He steadily persisted in lis previous declaration,
adding that, so long as we have Christ, we have
no need of Mohammed." He also said Moham-
med was a false man, and he exposed the corrup-
tons of the Mohammedan system. He was
to prison and cruelty tortued, to induce
him to recant, bit in vain. He was afterwards
brought out and beheaded, and with his last breath
he protested against Mohammed, and said, II pro-
fess Jesus Christ, and for him die" IS
