THE MoHAmmeosM MESSIAH.
Belief of tho Faithful Regarding His
Second Coming.

Belief of tho Faithful Regarding His
Second Coming.
According to tradition, the true Mahdi
will be preceded by GO forerunners-
John Baptists or Eliases-called Bnbs,
Dab means the door. through which
enters Messiah).
As rule. those holy personages-Ule-
mas. or descendants of the prophet, who
end by setting tip themselves as the
Messiah-begin by calling themselves
only cabs. or doors, and if they meet
with success and are accepted, they then
pose as the actual Mahdi.
As to the Babisn of recent times, this
is its simple origin:
About 80 years dgo young native Of
Shiraz named Mira Ali Sfohammed was
the fayorite pupil of celebrated sheillh,
who was looked Upon DIS d sort of Dab,
or forerunner Of The Mahdi. After he
died his young pupil Mira Ali NO.
manned. announced himself as also Il
Bah. He was soon surrounded with
disciples. Ills popularity alarmed the
reigning shah. lie was arrested and
kept in prison for some time, but us his
followers increased in numbers, the Ule-
mas thought 1t prudent to condemn him
20 death by torture. The subsequent
massacre of the Cabs Is a matter of re-
cent history.
The Babs that were left, inspired by n
thirst for vengeance. now plotted the
assassination of the shah, and each at
tempt has been followed by more Bah
massacrcs. Now you have the key of
the situation.
The late shah succumbed at last to
one of these assassfns. who had unsuc-
cessful'y attempted his destruction sew
cral times before. The Bah. young
Mira. was not highly educated per-
son. but very proud, and of irreproach-
able life. lie was not otherwise re-
markable, but possessed Of strange
faculty of writing with extreme speed,
(you would call it mediumistic writing,
an accomplishment considered miracu-
lous by our adepts.) Still he wrote little
about his doctrine or his person--but
after his death his apostles made a
Mahdi of him. and from that to divine
incarnation was step easily accom-
plishcd, as we have seen illustrated in
your own Christian religion. TO Mahd-
ism were soon Joined mysticism and
nantheism, which have always DOM
mated the philosophic instincts OF the
Iranian peoples. If you want to under
stand present Persian politics. you must
bear in mind that Irania (Persia) has
always been. and Is now. full of sects
like Dnbism which are called Soufi
halcra Sheikhi bdbfs. etc.--Contem-
