A Ceylon correspondent of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle writes / asked why it was
not Mohammed himself who would appear
again and join his followers to those of
Christ He said "Mohammed cannot re-
appear he is dead "But is not Christ
similarly dead7" "No Christ never
died. There are two men who never died
Elias and Jesus. He still moves about the
world, having the power to make himself
invisible. Elias found the water of immor-
tality in cave, and drank of it and cannot
die. But Mohammed is in Paradise" Ara
hi could not explain how it was that eXpecta-
ton of the near appearance of the coming
prophet and of Christ should be universal in
the Mosem world Just now. 1t was evident
that Arab himself shared the expectation,
Which is of kind generally born in believing
nations i'll the time of their defeat and bu-
initiation. Having not the least doubt of
the existence of their deity, they fix ON
their extremity rs his opportunity. As Ara
hi, whom | knew to beNa master in Islam,
seemed to look forward for the conversion OF
nations from idolatry by the coming prophet,
thought it was possible that something
more merciiul than that of the Koran con-
corning the heretical religions, might have
been developed in Egypt
was surprised to find Arab an inheXible
Puritan. "Alah is the merciful he will
forgive all crimes and all wrong doings, ex.
cepting only worship of other gods than
himself "What of Buddha and of all his
millions of worshipers in the past, many of
whom never heard of Allah HE is in hell,
