ED. JouRNAL;-Rev. Mangasar Manga
sarian, a native of America, in Asin, but
near Egypt, graduate Of Princeton Col.
lege, spoke at Bethany church John Wan
amaker's) last evening OIL "The Religious
Aspect of the War in Egypt"
His long residence in the East, through
acquaintance with Arab policy, and Arab
nature, in connection with the events of
the last week, rendered his discourse par
ticularly interesting. "Arnb Paslla's part
in the struggle in Egypt to day is prompt
ed by commendable and patriotic motives,'
he said.
The real power in Egypt has been held
by England and France, who have hordes
of financial SCENTS there TO collect taxes
for the, payments OF debts due these pow
ers. These agents receive enormous sala-
ries-Sl5, 900 to $4,000, each-for their
services, and live luxnrianlly, thus keeping
the poor Arab in object poverty.
Other nations, they say, have debts due
other governments, and yet are not in the
hands of those 10 whom they are indebted
hence they say, "Let Egyptians rule and
govern Egypt" "Before these foreigners
came here to protect liz, we had better
peace and greater safety than now" To
day there is British Consul in every city
in Turkey. Why? To protect christians
But their presence only stirs up the Turk
He looks at the elegant dwellings, of En-
glands consuls, compares their condition
with his own, grasps his sword, rushes init
the street and defanlly plunges il into The
first christian he meets.
During his long residence there, la,
learned The people had relied on Englant
for protection, but also, were disappointed
as they have found il was not for the safe
ly Of the Christian they cared for, but t,
satisfy their own selfish interests. Tn,
people OF this country have done far NOR,
for christianity in the East than England
At this time the Arabs believe glea
prophet is to arise from Soudan, who vii
place himself at the head OF large army
and go forth TO conquest and the restora
ton OF the prestine power and religion o
the Mohammed.
This man is e'falsc prophet of whom
the newspapers speak in their accounts %
the war, and when hi- forces juin those o
Arab Pasha, he saw dark cloud woul,
hang over Europe. No man will fgh
like the Bedoun Arab when the supreme,
Of his faith is involved. In conclusion, h,
thought this war would prove the dying
struggle Of Islam III Egypt, and that "'rh,
banner oi Cbrirt would he planted upol
the Moslcm, nnd The deluded followers o
the false prophet come there 10 crown Him
, Lard Of AL"
