Dr.. Ibrihim KhrieIIa.
CONFRONTED BY ABDEL~KARIN
Persian Teacher of Khriella Comes to Ke-

Him-Comes in State From Cairo.

=
G. Khreilla, for so many years leader
of the ''Truth Knowers'', Of Chicago
and Kenosha, will be seen no more in
this city, as the church today announc-
ed that they would repudiate the teach
ings of their erstwhile patron saint
mother church in Persia.
This result was reached only after a
bitter fight between Khrie1la and his
opponents and the vote was decisive
one. Two hundred of the followers of
the church headed by B. S. Lane will
stick to the old faith, while forty mem
bers, headed by the nineteen members,
will remain true to the teachings of
Khrie11a, who has been repudiated by
the mother church.
The reputation of DIR. Khriel1a
came at gathering of Truth Knowers
from all parts of the country which
was held at the home of B. S. Lare on
Pomeroy street, this morning. Twenty
one of the leading lights in the sect
from Chicago, New York, Detroit, To
1edo, Cincinnati, indianapolis and
other cities were in attendance. The
central figure of the conference was
Abde1 Karin Effendi of Cairo, Egypt,
who came in state to America to attend
and to confront Khrie1la, who, he al
| 1eges has let his own personal ambition
carry him away from the greatest
truths of the sect. Abdel Karin is re-
garded as one of the wisest men in
Egypt. He travels with an interpreter
Miro Rata, also from Cairo, and his
secretary. The secretary spoke for
Abde1 Karin to representative of this
paper. He said:
| Abdel Karin has come from Cairo tC
personally meet and confront DR.. I. G.
Khrei11a on account of his recent falsi-
| fcations of the doctrines taught by
the learned man in Persia and Egypt.
He has met Khrei11a and he has pub.
| 1ished over his own name, a retraction
of the statements made by him against
the mother church, but the church is
unwilling to allow the doctrines to be
| turned into Khreillism and on this
account the doctor has been repudiated
and is no longer a teacher in the
church. Notwithstanding the retraC.
tons which the Chicago man has
made he is no longer in any way con
nected with the sect and as his teach
| ings were promulgated only in Keno
sha and Chicago, they will make no
difference with the other churches in
other cities. In his ambition DR..
1,3e 1, m
his own account and IN the future he
will have no close relation with the
| teachings. If he desires to become a
| follower in a private sense that course
| is open to him, but from hencefOrth
all his teachings are repudiated. With
us it is matter of principle and not
personalities. In Chicago Khreilla
retains only Is followers, twelve Of
which are officers and in the city 78(
will remain as followers of ABIDE
Karin and his doctrines. We have nc
longer any use for DR.. Khrei11a anC
Notwithstanding all that has been sale
in retracting he is out of the sect. We
practice the life as taught in the
sermon on the mount and we have nc
reason to prohibit the doctor from
living this life, but he cannot be 4
teacher in the order"
AS to the result of this reputation
of the doctor by the KenOsha church
little can be said at the present time.
The visiting head of the church has
brought the mysticism of Egypt to the
followers in this city and they will fol
low it. AS to the seeding members,
who are greatly in the majority, they
have not as yet selected leader, but
it is stated that Byron S. Lane, of this
city, IS spoken of as the man who will
fall into the place made vacant by the
reputation of DR.. Khrie11a and Keno
sha may become the western mecca Of
| the sect.
The distinguished guest and the
| long list of truth knOwers that were
attending the conference, left this
afternoon for Chicago, where they
will personally meet DR.. Khriel1a and
tell of his downfall.
