WAITING FOR
THEIR PROPHET

The Druses, the most mysterious re-
ligious sect in the world, are now ex-
pecting the coming of the prophet they
worship, the Hakim.
The war between China and Japan
and the threatened ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of
the vast empire of the Orient were
events long ago prophesied by the
Druse priests. The first prophecy has
been fulfilled, the second will be ere
long, and then Ell Hakim Will return In
glory.
In the land of Bashan, Mount Leba-
non. Northern Syria, and in every prov
fnce of China his followers are praying
and WATCHING for him.
In the tenth century FL Hakin sue

hundred wears his followers have mad

day evening, and yet nave preserved

nothing of their belief. Fabulous sums

death. Ell Druzi, a man OF AFFINITY,
espoused his cause and wrote the Drlse
scriptures. He bequeathed his name'to
the followers of Ell Hakim.
But because he tried to exalt- h1mser
he was compelled to flee from the wrath
of his converts. He hid in an oven,
where some women, coming to bake
bread and indignant at his apostasy,
roasted him alive.
The fanatica1 followers Of the Egyp-
tian king are brave and loyal. In the

worship. When they go forth their lips

religion is that they believe Ell Hakim
was God incarnated; that he had ap-

itself, and at once put Mr.. Brookes on

gave Hall quantity of harmless white
powder which the latter took at gulp.
Not feeling the effects at once, he de.

cure 1t, started out to get it at some other

of the fact, but Hall did not show up on
