Mohammedans Are Divided According TO
Thor Creedal Forms.

Mohammedans divide themselves into
two principal sects-Shiah and Sunni.
the Persians representing the bulk of
the former. the Turks of the latter.
The chief points on which they differ
are the condition of the soul after
death and the succession of caliphs
The Sunni believe that there. is one i'm
mortal God, whose works are without
beginning or end, and that He will
be visible TO the souls of the blessed;
while the Shiahs deny the immortality
of the soul and maintain that the CO.
existent principles of Zoroaster will
forever contend for the mastery. With
regard TO the prophets successors, the
Sunnis claim that the lawful successor
of MohamDed was Abu Bekr and after
him Omar Osman and Ali (nephew and
son-in-law of Mohammed); the Shiahs,
however, reject the first three and hold
that Ali was the only Legitimate sue.

size, but the rock oyster is more gen

oysters love the beds and adjoining
rocks of tidal streams. They grow in
clusters in variety of shapes and sizes,
and each cluster is attached to. some
thing solid. Here they are alternate

brackish. They are also left for hours
high and dry until the incoming tide
refreshes them. Nor do these oysters al

frequently be found adhering to the
